Xiao Lingjiang was detained in the palace by the emperor. He Xiangshan felt cold in his heart after receiving the news. It seemed that the emperor would not let Ling Jiang and the He family off easily.

With the help of the marriage, Ling Jiang Zhikai was removed by the Xifan people, and the He family who stayed in Yingdu would naturally be doomed, and they all knew it well.

This move was not too unexpected for him. After all, Ling Jiang disrupted a big chess game in the shrine, and his strength had long since disappeared. Since the assassination incident, the dissatisfaction of the emperor and the others has become more and more obvious.

Now, the sword hanging above his head was finally about to fall, and he felt like "it's finally here" in his heart.

He Xiangshan knew the emperor's character well, so when they came to Yingdu, the He family and Ling Jiang established themselves in the court and the aristocratic family, while secretly plotting in order to one day make the emperor fall out of favor. If they recognize someone, they can have a way out.

Now that the emperor has made a decision, it may be useless to enter the palace to intercede now.

He looked at Pei You and Chang Wuzi, who had solemn expressions in front of him, and invited them into the study to discuss in detail.

And in Yingdu, Xiao Lingjiang's self-invitation to marry Xi Fan has already spread throughout the streets and alleys in just one day.

Hearing the news from the street, Xiao Lingjiang couldn't help but sneered: "Is it because I'm afraid that I will go back on my word, so you can't wait to spread the news?"

"What's the reaction from the court?" She lowered her eyes and casually picked the lanterns in front of her.

He Zheng replied: "At court today, the emperor officially announced the matter to the ministers and the Xifan envoys. Above the court, Yuan Zhangsi, Zhou Shangshu, Cui Langjun and others tried their best to admonish, saying that the princess has meritorious service, and the protector In order to have a stable Zhou, it is not suitable to be close to Xifan."

"Cui Shu?" Xiao Lingjiang raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

She was not surprised that Yuan Buxie and Zhou Yun interceded for her.But Cui Shu, she seldom sees him recently, only heard that he has been promoted again in a short period of time.

Based on the Cui family's status and sensitivity to the situation in the court, it was impossible not to know what the emperor's move meant.Ms. Cui, who has always been very cautious about protecting herself, would never get involved in this matter and only cause the emperor's dissatisfaction.What's more, the previous incident involving King Duan had caused the Cui family to suffer a lot of trouble.

Cui Shu is the heir of the Cui family, and what he says often represents the position of the Cui family.What he did was certainly not what the Cui family wanted.

Although the emperor had no choice but to act this time and the ministers' efforts to persuade him were in vain, no matter what, she had to accept his love.

Seeing her frowning slightly, He Zheng relaxed her brows again, and continued: "There are also villains who see the wind and make trouble, only care about flattering the emperor's wishes... the marriage has finally become a decision."

"Yeah." Xiao Lingjiang nodded clearly, "This villain... I guess there are not a few of them?"

In the past two years, she has indeed made a lot of contributions, but the addition of contributions is a blessing and a curse. Now that the emperor turns his face, those courtiers who have always known how to judge the situation will naturally not say anything good for her.Those who were offended by her in the past may not be happy until they step on them again.

She sneered, shook her head and didn't ask any more questions.

The princess of the Zhou Dynasty and her marriage to Xifan were naturally a grand event, and no one could afford to neglect it.After the marriage decree was issued, people inside and outside the palace became busy, but Xiao Lingjiang's palace was as quiet as water.

"Princess." Qingzhu called softly from outside the door.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Lingjiang slowly exhaled a breath and opened his eyes.

Qingzhu looked at the spring scenery outside, and said: "The flowers outside are blooming just right, do you want to take a stroll in the garden?"

The room was quiet, and it took a long time before I heard someone reply: "That's fine."

Then, there was a sound of small footsteps, and with a "squeak", the door of the palace opened from the inside, revealing Xiao Lingjiang's figure.

The Xuanshi guarding outside the palace gate looked at each other and did not say anything to stop them. They were sent by the saints to watch over Princess Yong'an, but they did not restrict her freedom of movement in the palace either.

It's just that Princess Yong'an has been staying behind closed doors since she moved into this hall seven days ago.

If someone like her wanted to marry Xifan, it may not be true to say "self-invitation", and it was reasonable for her to be unwilling.They thought that she would be bored in the palace all the time since they were preparing to marry for nearly a month.

Seeing that Xiao Lingjiang had already stepped out of the palace gate and was heading outside, several people also hurriedly followed.

There are many exotic flowers and plants in the palace, and now is the time when they are blooming best. Xiao Lingjiang has been busy practicing and planning things in the palace these days. When he came out and was among them, he felt a little relieved.

At this moment, a snow-white figure suddenly emerged from the flowers and rushed towards her. The Xuanshi who followed behind was startled, and was about to step forward to make a move, but was blocked by Xiao Lingjiang.

Immediately afterwards, a ball of furry things rushed into her arms.

It was a snow-white Persian cat...

Several Xuanshi breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Lingjiang looked down at the cat nestled in her arms, stretched out his hand and scratched its chin, the cat narrowed its eyes and purred comfortably.

She couldn't help but smile and touched the collar around the cat's neck: "Where did the cat come from? It's quite beautiful..."

The maid at the side was about to step forward to answer, but was suddenly interrupted by a voice: "Put down my snowball!"

Xiao Lingjiang raised his head, and saw a beautiful woman in palace attire with a delicate face and snow-like skin, walking towards her with a slightly chilly face.

"Miss Li Concubine." The maid who was about to speak hurriedly saluted upon seeing this.

Xiao Lingjiang smiled: "So it's Empress Li...Is this your cat?"

"So what?" Concubine Li looked at Xiao Lingjiang unhappily, "Who are you? Hurry up and let go of my cat!"

Everyone in the palace knows that Concubine Li loves cats like hell but has a cleanliness obsession. Except for a few constant servants around her, she never likes others to tease her snowball.Right now, this Snowball somehow escaped and got into Princess Yong'an's arms, she might be very unhappy.

Concubine Li had not been in the palace for a long time, she was just a minor official in her family, and her appearance was not top-notch in this palace with so many beauties. However, she somehow got the Sacred Heart, and suddenly she was in the limelight, and she was promoted to the concubine she is today. Bit.

Now, the sage spends almost every night in Concubine Li's palace, if he makes her unhappy, there will be no good fruit to eat.

However, Princess Yongan's status is also special, so the two of them must avoid conflicts.

The maid on the side said quickly: "Empress Li, this is Princess Yong'an."

"Oh? Are you Yong'an?" Libi glanced at Xiao Lingjiang up and down after hearing this.She had heard of Xiao Lingjiang's name for a long time, but Xiao Lingjiang rarely entered the palace, and she had never seen him in the palace.

She was just a princess who was going to be married, and Li Pin treated her contemptuously.

Xiao Lingjiang didn't get angry, he just nodded and handed the cat to Libi: "It's me. The cat is naughty. If I don't want it to run around, it's better to keep a close eye on it."

"Of course I know." Concubine Li glanced at Xiao Lingjiang with disgust, motioned for the maid behind her to take the cat over, then turned around and left with a cold snort.

The maids behind her quickly saluted Xiao Lingjiang and hurriedly followed her footsteps.

Xiao Lingjiang watched her gradually disappearing figure, his eyes darkened slightly, and after a long time, he said lightly: "Go back." (End of this chapter)
