Return of the Swallow

Lu Heng's guess was actually groundless. It's just that he made it up randomly to cause trouble for Li Qitian.

Seeing a scheming figure like Li Qitian change his color, Lu Heng's sadness at not being able to marry Qin Yining was relieved a little.

Li Qitian knew what happened in Ci'an Palace that day, but he still favored Pang Xiao and betrothed Qin Yining to that reckless man. Lu Heng was so angry and regretful that he couldn't even sleep.

He really didn't expect that as the legitimate son of the Lu family, there would be times when he wanted something but couldn't get it.

In fact, Lu Heng didn't know why he was so concerned about Qin Yining. It was clear that Qin Yining was not good to him. Not only was he not good, but he also plotted against him.

But it was her intelligence that impressed him, made him admire her, and made him feel novel.

A woman with such outstanding appearance and extraordinary intelligence is not something you can meet casually. If he wanted to find a beautiful girl to be his mate, he didn't have to make it public. There were plenty of people in the capital who were willing to send young ladies to his doorstep.

But none of those people could tempt him.

The only thing that could tempt him was now marrying someone else.

Lu Heng looked at Li Qitian, who was frowning, and felt even more depressed. After winning two consecutive games against the Emperor, he felt a little more comfortable. In the third game, Li Qitian quietly won.

Li Qitian was originally entangled because he couldn't figure out the details of Qin Huaiyuan and Pang Xiao, but he was defeated by Lu Heng in two consecutive games, which made him even more depressed.

Fortunately, he won in the end, which made Li Qitian feel a lot more comfortable.

The two of them had their own thoughts and were tired of playing chess. Lu Heng then left.

When he left the palace, he met Li Helan, the eldest princess of Anyang.

Li Helan is wearing a bright red brocade robe, with her hair in a high bun. The golden phoenix steps on the bun shine brightly in the warm sunshine, echoing the red palace dress on her body. In such warm weather, it makes people feel a little... Dazzling, a little irritating.

Especially Li Helan's face was extremely ugly, and her eyes were swollen into two walnuts.

Lu Heng saluted Li Helan head-on.

Lu Heng is such a noble person. Even if it is a gift,

It will not make people feel that he is inferior to anyone, but that the reason why he is polite to others is because he knows etiquette and respects others.

Li Helan was a little embarrassed, secretly hoping that no one else would notice her swollen eyelids, and said calmly: No gifts.

Lu Heng smiled and said, Eldest Princess, maybe you haven't had a good rest? Your eyes are swollen. You should pay more attention to your health.

When Li Helan heard this, the muscles in her body stiffened. She stared at Lu Heng for a long time before she was sure that he did not mean to ridicule.

I know. Li Helan waved his hands with a dark face, and left quickly with the palace attendants.

Lu Heng was amused again when he saw this.

These royal brothers and sisters are worthy of being born as emperors. I'm afraid they don't know what the real royal family is like, right?

The Lu family had supported their family for the sake of the family's stability and development, but now the royal family was no longer willing to obey, and instead wanted to backlash.

As the legitimate son of the family, Lu Heng naturally had to plan for this matter.

That's all. Lu Heng was now in a state of confusion. When he thought about Qin Yining's upcoming marriage to Pang Xiao, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, and he was no longer interested in thinking about serious matters at home.

Qin Yining had no idea that the Holy Emperor's decree granting marriage would arouse the reaction of so many people.

At this time, the family was preparing for her haircut ceremony.

--\u003e\u003e

As the candidate for the guest of honor, I said that she has invited the old lady from the Marquis of Anchang's Mansion. The old lady has two children, and she is deeply in love with the Marquis of Anchang. Both of them are now in strong health. This is a person who is both blessed and A talented and virtuous old lady.”

Mr. Sun was quite proud when he talked about this.

After all, Qin Huaiyuan had just arrived and already had such a great reputation in the court. Not just any daughter or hairpin could seduce the old Marquis and his wife to be the guest of honor.

As for the chief minister and the praiser, we have two girls in our family, so Sister Hui will be the chief minister, and the eighth girl will be the chief minister, okay?

Of course it's good. Miss Eight smiled and nodded.

Qin Huining also forced a smile: This is our honor.

She has resigned herself to her fate now.

There is no comparison between people. She is about to become a princess, but her future is still uncertain. Qin Huining now has no confidence to fight with Qin Yining.

Seeing that everything was arranged in an orderly manner, it was not Qin Yining's turn to interrupt. She simply didn't say anything and just quietly watched her mother make arrangements for her.

This feeling of having a mother to rely on is extremely satisfying. It was something she wouldn't have dared to think about a year ago.

At that time, Mrs. Sun didn't want to see her, but now they are a loving mother and a filial daughter.

He will leave the cabinet next month, and Qin Yining is already reluctant to leave his family in such a hurry.

The haircut ceremony will be held on the next day.

Qin Huaiyuan was still so low-key and did not invite too many people.

However, Yu Chiyan, Li Yanyan and Gu Chang came to the scene in person and presented Qin Yining with a phoenix hairpin dotted with emerald gold.

Yuchiyan lost some weight again and had more gray hair on his temples.

Looking at Qin Yining with her hair tied up, his eyes became distant.

He did not stay at the Qin family longer and left after watching the ceremony.

Qin Huaiyuan personally sent the person out of the gate.

Before leaving, Yuchiyan looked back at the courtyard, and unexpectedly Qin Yining was also looking back.

Her long crow-green hair looked sleek in the sunlight, and the one on her head was the emerald-gold silk phoenix hairpin he had given her.

The two looked at each other, and she smiled slightly, with the dimples on her cheeks looming. Her whole body was as beautiful as a painting.

Yuchiyan's eyes were hot, his lips were trembling, he turned back stiffly and strode away. He looked embarrassed, as if someone was chasing him from behind.

Both Li Yanyan and Gu Chang saw Yuchiyan's embarrassment and felt sad in their hearts.

Qin Huaiyuan was still treating Yuchiyan politely and respectfully as usual. He sent the person directly to the carriage and followed the carriage to take the person out of the street corner.

After Qin Yining had her hair tied, the elders in the family began to contact Prince Zhongshun's Mansion to discuss the details of the wedding.

Qin Yining was detained in the room and embroidered pillows.

Three days passed like this, when preparations for the wedding were in full swing, an unexpected visitor suddenly came to the Qin family.

Master Qin!

Xiao Luzi, the personal chamberlain next to Yuchiyan, saw Qin Huaiyuan and knelt down with a plop, kowtowing repeatedly: Please help Mr. Qin, save the prince! Please!

Eunuch Lu, please get up quickly. What's going on? Qin Huaiyuan helped little Luzi up with both hands.

Xiao Luzi's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and he said with sobs: Master Qin, your Majesty called the three members of the prince's family to the palace three days ago, and no servants were allowed to follow him. So far, there is no news about the prince, and he doesn't know who he is. Life or death!
