Just as Xiao Zhen took a sip of tea and spit it out, he couldn't help coughing: "Aren't you my princess? Where is there another princess?"

He Baoning was taken aback and said, "Aren't I your side concubine?"

Xiao Zhen frowned slightly and said, "Who told you that? You are my princess, unless you don't want to be my princess..."

He Baoning said repeatedly: "No!"

After He Baoning blurted out, he realized that what he said seemed a little too anxious, so he lowered his head in embarrassment.

After hearing He Baoning's words, Xiao Zhen chuckled, "Did you think that the king wanted to make you a side concubine?"

He Baoning wrapped her fingers around the silk handkerchief and said: "The He family is a merchant after all... I am a commoner's woman, and I dare not uphold the prince as his wife."

Xiao Zhen said: "Why do you want to belittle yourself? At the beginning, you and I made the marriage contract because the father-in-law donated most of the family property. It has been nearly 20 years now. Cangzhou City is very prosperous now. Your He family is also very impressive. I admire it very much."

He Baoning smiled lightly. Since her uncle became a magistrate of a county in Hangzhou City, relatives in the family have looked down on their He family a lot, thinking that the merchants are inferior.

Unexpectedly, the dignified Prince Jing would not despise their lowly merchants at all.

He Baoning took a deep look at Xiao Zhen's eyes, and after they met Xiao Zhen's eyes, they couldn't leave for a long time.

Xiao Zhen was able to accept this marriage when she was a child because she felt that it was great to have a daughter-in-law at a young age. Later, she always wanted to marry He Baoning because she wanted He Yu to call him brother-in-law.

At this moment, Xiao Zhen and He Baoning looked at each other, he had only one thought, why the wedding would be a year later, if he had known earlier, he should have chosen an earlier date.

"Sister, elder sister!"

He Yu hurried back from the door, and when he entered, he saw Xiao Zhen and his sister looking at each other, the eyes were obviously full of tenderness and sweetness.

He Yu walked up to Xiao Zhen and blocked his eyes, "Why did you come to my house? You really dare to touch my sister's mind? I just received the news that the wedding date of His Royal Highness King Jing and my sister has been set. Already!"

He Baoning continued: "Yu'er, you must not be rude to... Young Master Xiao."

Seeing He Baoning's blushing face, He Yu said, "Young Master Xiao? Bah, he's the same age as me, just call him brother!"

He Yu pulled Xiao Zhen out of the main room and went to the courtyard. He Yu lifted Xiao Zhen's collar and said, "You are not allowed to think about my sister. You know that I am coming to the school, why are you looking for my sister today?"

He Baoning followed, seeing He Yu being so rude, she was very anxious.

Xiao Zhen gave her a comforting look, indicating that she should not worry, Xiao Zhen said: "I know His Highness King Jing, and His Highness King Jing sent me to give a present to Miss Xiaoxiao."

He Yu said: "Xiaoxiao? Which Xiaoxiao girl?"

Xiao Zhen continued: "I offended, it was Miss He."

Only then did He Yu let go of Xiao Zhen, and said to He Baoning: "Sister, my benefactor Gu Yu received a letter from a friend in Luoyang City, saying that the date of your marriage to Prince Jing has been fixed, and the empress dowager and the court Officials from the government are already on their way to our He Mansion to propose marriage."

He Yu was very excited and said: "I don't know if my uncle has received any news. If the empress dowager comes to our Hefu, Hefu will arrange to pick her up, and this house will be renovated... Hurry up and give it to Dad." Mother wrote a letter, let them come back as soon as possible!"...

Xiao Zhen was taken aback for a moment, he thought that his parents would come to Hangzhou City to propose marriage next year, and then went back to the palace together, but he didn't expect his sister to propose marriage so long in advance!

He Baoning already knew the news and was not surprised at all.

Seeing that He Baoning was not happy at all, He Yu said, "Sister, are you still worried about His Royal Highness King Jing's ugly appearance if you are unhappy?"

He Baoning continued: "Where is it? Don't talk nonsense, I am very happy."

Xiao Zhen was very happy to hear the words, and the smile on the corners of her lips grew stronger.

……

On the pier of Luoyang City, the big ship weighed anchor, and it was covered with betrothal gifts prepared by Su Jingyan for his future daughter-in-law.

The reason why Xiao Ningle left Luoyang this time with one year left before his wedding date was really annoyed by everyone in the court.

That's right, the younger brother's wedding date has already been set, and she is already 22, so why not be urged by the courtiers before she gets married?

It's just that there are very few men in Luoyang who are suitable for her eyes. Most of the men who come to her are to ask for the future title for the family, and they don't even hide it.

Xiao Ningle was very annoyed by being urged, Su Jingyan and Xiao Yi also saw that Xiao Ningle was not in a bad mood, so they sent Xiao Ningle to the city of Hangzhou to be married to the He family, and they could also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River relax.

Xiao Ningle stood on the deck, looking at the water surface of the wide canal, the sun shone on the water waves, forming little bits of gold.

Xiao Lin walked up to Xiao Ningle, gave her a cloak and said, "I have already written to Gu Yu, saying that you and I will be there soon."

Xiao Ningle put on the cloak, and sighed, "I finally escaped from this disturbing place. Not getting married at the age of 22 is like committing a heinous crime."

Nine out of the ten official documents are urging Xiao Ning to get married, and there must be courtiers coming out every day before the next court to urge Xiao Ning to get married.

Xiao Ningle felt that if she did not leave Luoyang, she would really go crazy.

Su Liu and He Lianqiao's daughter, Su Yong, who were on the side laughed lightly and said, "Not getting married on 22 is indeed a heinous thing. When your Majesty was your age, you were already five years old."

Xiao Ning glared at Su Yue angrily, "Shut up, I finally escaped from Luoyang, I still want to be clean!"

Su Yue said: "There are many beauties in Hangzhou City, maybe you will meet your future husband when you arrive in Hangzhou City?"

Ning Le smiled lightly and said, "I hope."

……

Since Xiao Zhen visited the He family last time, she has always wanted to find a chance to meet He Baoning again, but the He family heard that the Crown Princess was coming, so He Yu was in the He family every day.

Xiao Zhen had no choice but to secretly send a letter to He Baoning, asking He Baoning to meet by the West Lake.

The spring is just right, the West Lake is full of cruise ships for literati, Xiao Zhen chartered a boat, and He Baoning went on a tour of the West Lake together.

Xiao Zhen sat opposite He Baoning in the boat, Xiao Zhen looked at the beautiful scenery outside and said: "This West Lake is indeed as beautiful as the poet wrote."

He Baoning said: "It would be even more beautiful to visit the West Lake on a rainy day, it is really like the West Lake."

Xiao Zhen looked at He Baoning's side face, and said slowly: "Then on a rainy day, the king will ask you to go boating again?"

He Baoning gently shook the silk fan, nodded slightly and said: "Okay."...

The two just met and didn't have much to say, but they are very satisfied that they can sit together and enjoy the beautiful scenery and occasionally have similar eyes.

Unknowingly, it was dusk, and when the wind blew up at dusk, even the boat couldn't help but shake a little. When the boat returned to the lakeside, the boat was still swaying with the wind.

Xiao Zhen first jumped onto the shore, seeing He Baoning who was wearing a wide-sleeved skirt today, afraid that she would not be able to stand still, so she stretched out her hand, "Hold my hand."

He Baoning glanced at the hand in front of him, and put his own on it, but he didn't expect that the pampered little prince also had calluses in his hand.

Xiao Zhen held He Baoning's hand tightly, and found that her hand was very small, soft and boneless. She had already supported He Baoning to the shore, but Xiao Zhen refused to let go.

He Baoning also let Xiao Zhen hold her hand, only feeling that the palms of his hands were hot.

Xiao Ningle saw this scene just after arriving in Hangzhou City. She walked up to Xiao Zhen and said, "Yo, are you holding this hand?"

He Baoning saw the woman in front of her who was half a head taller than her, dressed gorgeously, she must not be an ordinary person, when Xiao Zhen called out to her, He Baoning saluted with all her might, "See Your Highness."

Xiao Ning was happy to see that He Baoning's etiquette was in place, so he smiled and said: "There is no need to be too polite."

Xiao Zhen said, "You're here so soon? I thought you'd spend some time in Huizhou?"

"Isn't this because I was afraid that you would be in a hurry to marry a wife, so I came here ahead of time to propose marriage for you?" Xiao Ning said happily.

Xiao Zhen said: "Sister, can you wait a little longer to propose marriage to the He family?

He's father and mother are not in Hangzhou City, and I still want to play with He Yu more. He Yu doesn't know my identity yet. He Yu knows you. It would be no fun if he knew your identity. "

Ning Le said: "Okay, I promise you that's it, my parents gave me a year to relax, even if He Yu is your brother-in-law in the future, don't play He Yu too much, Xiaobao Ning ignores you."

This time, He Baoning turned his elbow and said, "It's okay, he has been angry with me since he was a child, and he should be taught a lesson."

Xiao Ningle felt very sad for little He Yu, he still wanted to be Zhen'er's brother-in-law, and after learning that Zhen'er had become his brother-in-law, his expression must be very pretty.
