the first lady

Chapter 73

"No... um..." The next words were completely blocked.

The familiar smell of attachment, the warm and soft lips made Qiao Ling'er completely forget to breathe, and could only look at the enlarged face in front of her.The delicate skin can't see any blemishes, and the curly eyelashes are like a small fan, which makes people bewitched.

This was not a long kiss, on the contrary, it was very short, only lasted about ten seconds, but it really made Qiao Linger feel like a year.

In the ear, the man's gentle and smiling voice floated: "Ling'er, I miss you..."

On the second day back home, Qiao Linger was sitting in the gazebo, supporting her chin with one hand, her eyes were a little divergent, and her mind was clearly wandering——

Yesterday, the sudden kiss, the name and the simple four words made her stunned for a whole night. After thinking about it for a long time, she still couldn't figure out why Zong Zhengyi wanted to kiss her suddenly and even said those words.

Thinking of it now, she still felt hot in both ears, and forced herself not to think about it, but she still couldn't help thinking about it.

When her fingers touched her lips, there seemed to be a faint taste left, which made her want to ignore it.

On the side, Ning Xiang and Lan Feng looked at each other, and they both saw puzzlement in their eyes.The young lady has been sitting here for a long time, and she didn't hear her after calling her several times, so she was just in a daze.

When Zongzheng Yan came, he saw Qiao Ling'er in a daze, "Second sister-in-law."

no response.

"Second sister-in-law?" Zong Zhengyan slightly raised his voice.

"Huh?" Qiao Ling'er finally came back to her senses, but she still blushed quietly and asked in a panic to cover up her gaffe, "Uncle, why are you here?"

Seeing Qiao Linger's words, Ningxiang finally couldn't help but asked, "Miss, what's wrong with you, is there something wrong?"

Qiao Ling'er didn't realize the meaning of Ningxiang's words, and only realized when she saw her worried face.A slap directly patted Ning Xiang's forehead, and said angrily: "Ning Xiang, don't always curse that your lady has something to do, okay?"

"But miss, you've been sitting here all morning, and you can blush or smile, isn't Ning Xiang worried about you!" Ning Xiang said aggrievedly, if she wasn't worried, she wouldn't have asked!
After being told by Ningxiang, Qiao Linger blushed again.

"Second sister-in-law, are you alright?" Zong Zhengyan, like Ning Xiang, couldn't help worrying when she saw her face suddenly turn red.

"Hehe, it's okay, it's just that the weather is too hot." Qiao Ling'er said duplicity, and even pretended to fan the wind with a towel.

"Second sister-in-law, it's getting cold now, why do you still feel too hot?" Zongzheng Yan looked at the cloudy sky outside, which looked like it was going to rain, and couldn't help but didn't think deeply about what would happen to her. the real reason.

Qiao Ling'er stopped fanning the wind and tried her best to put aside the strange thoughts in her mind. She couldn't tell them that she was thinking about Zong Zhengyi kissing her yesterday, right?If you really say it, it will be really embarrassing.

"Uncle, why are you here today?" Qiao Ling'er changed the subject.

Seeing that Qiao Linger had recovered, Zong Zhengyan sat down on the stone bench beside her without asking any more questions.

"Second sister-in-law, can I come back to see my second brother if I have nothing to do?" Zongzheng Yan asked back, "By the way, where is my second brother, he should have gone to court, right?"

"Master asked Yueying to come back and said that he would not come back for the time being." Qingye did not know when she appeared behind him, followed by the world's number one killer whose face was so dark that it couldn't be darker.

Qiao Linger frowned subconsciously, "Did you stay in the palace?"

Qingye nodded, "But ma'am, Yueying took the young master's words. The young master said that the emperor just discussed with him about the marriage between the young master and the sixth princess, so you don't have to worry about it."

Zongzheng Yan was taken aback for a moment, the second brother knew she would be worried?

And Qiao Ling'er was naturally taken aback, but quickly calmed herself down again.At this time, Emperor Wu would have something to talk about, naturally she didn't think it was just discussing Zong Zhengye and Helian Feiqin's marriage.

Emperor Wu was treacherous and cunning, everyone knew the reason for giving the marriage, it was nothing more than to put Zongzheng's family in a dilemma.If Zong Zhengye resisted the edict alone, the entire Zong Zheng family would be affected.Perhaps the identities of Zongzheng Wudi and Zongzheng Yi can be kept by the Zongzheng family, but that would really push Zongzhengye into the abyss of eternal doom. By then, the third prince, Helian Feiqi, would naturally not be able to sit idly by. reason.

If Zongzhengye really wants to resist the order, it will start the war between Helian Feiqi and Helianfeiyan, and then he and Zongzhengyi will definitely be opposite sides.Failure to comply will also be the beginning of a war between Zongzheng brothers.

More overall, or if you look a little further, you will find that behind the third prince Helian Feiqi, besides Zong Zhengye, there is also an extraordinary Yi clan. If Helian Feiqi really moves Swords and guns, when the time comes, you can directly let the war cross a level.

Therefore, this marriage bestowment involved more, wider scope, and greater harm than the previous marriage bestowment between Qiao Linger and Zong Zhengyi.

"Second sister-in-law, what are you thinking?" Zong Zhengyan looked at the pensive Qiao Ling'er and asked in a deep voice.

Qiao Ling'er raised her head, and didn't express what was in her mind, but asked: "Uncle, does elder brother hate the sixth princess?"

"Who said that?" Zongzheng Yan asked in surprise.

"Isn't it?" Qiao Linger asked back, "But that day, big brother..."

"That day" naturally refers to when he was in the barracks. Judging from Zong Zhengye's expression, he seemed to dislike the sixth princess Helian Feiqin.

Zong Zhengyan immediately understood Qiao Linger's meaning, "Second sister-in-law, it's not what you think."

"Huh? What's that like?" Qiao Ling'er is not a gossip person, but now Zong Zhengyan's expression has aroused her gossip heart.

So, Zong Zhengyan sat down and explained to Qiao Linger why Zong Zhengye didn't want to marry Helian Feiqin——

Two years ago, Helian Feiqin was 14 years old at the time and was the beloved little princess of Emperor Wu; Zong Zhengye was 21 years old, but he was already a well-known general of Zhennan, stationed on the border of the Yi people, maintaining peace on one side.

Since she was a child, Helian Feiqin liked to pester Zong Zhengye, and until the age of 13 when she first fell in love, Zong Zhengye also accepted her frankly.It was only after the two had a year of "love" that Zong Zhengye went to battle and killed the enemy, and he was far away from home.

Naturally, it was impossible for the sixth princess to be willing to stay alone in the capital, so she sneaked out of the palace and rode to the border of the Yi nationality alone.

However, the sixth princess is a golden branch and jade leaf raised in the palace after all. Although she knows a little bit of hand and foot kung fu, even the martial artists themselves dare not say anything, so it is difficult for her to protect herself.In addition, she is handsome and has no experience in the world, so she was abducted into a brothel.

The Imperial Palace Feige sent a letter to Zong Zhengye, and rescued Helian Feiqin when she was about to be sold, but it also angered Zong Zhengye.

She didn't deny her feelings for this little girl, but he couldn't agree with her reckless actions.He told her that he would go back, but she rashly broke into the border that was still in troubled times.She missed her, which may be very satisfying to the man's self-esteem, but he also has to bear the worry because of it. How can he concentrate on the battlefield?
After Helian Feiqin was sent back to the palace, Emperor Wu went to Zong Zhengye and said that Helian Feiqin was still young and didn't know much about emotional matters, and that he already had another favorite prince and grandson after he left, so Zong Zhengye Zheng Ye also believed it, and left the capital to return to the battlefield.

In that battle, he was seriously injured, and it was at that time that he understood: he is a general, and his head may be cut off by the enemy at any time.If Helian Feiqin really followed him, maybe he would become a widow the next day.Thinking of this, he relaxed his heart, completely suppressed his feelings in his heart, and didn't think about it any more.

Gradually, Zong Zhengye became indifferent to Helian Feiqin.Even when he came back, Helian Feiqin would go to look for him, but every time he could only see his back, or he had already left.

Today, after two years, Zong Zhengye has never seen Helian Feiqin face to face.Poor Little Sixth Princess, this time she came here with full of hope, she wanted to explain the marriage to Zong Zhengye, and asked him if he really didn't want to marry her.But still haven't got an accurate answer!

"Simply put, elder brother actually likes the sixth princess, but he suppresses it in his heart and doesn't want to admit it!" After a long narration, Zong Zhengyan came to a conclusion.

Qiao Linger thought of a question before: the emotional intelligence of the ancients was really not low, and they knew whether they liked people or not at the age of thirteen or fourteen!
The next question was what she really wanted to talk about.

"What Emperor Wu said to elder brother two years ago must be because he didn't want the sixth princess to be with elder brother!" Qiao Ling'er narrowed her eyes, and there was a coldness in her eyes.

"Yeah." Zong Zhengyan still remembers it clearly, "Brother drank a lot that day, and kept calling the sixth princess's name after he was drunk. That was the first time I saw such a calm elder brother lose his composure."

"The young master must have been very sad at that time." Ning Xiang, who was more emotional, said nonuo.

Zongzheng Yan was silent, the always prudent eldest brother suddenly appeared in front of them like that, even the brothers who had lived for more than ten years were also shocked by that appearance.If it wasn't for Helian Feiqi who was by his side at that time, he would have died of drunkenness on the street.

"Hey, what a bullshit story, I'll make me laugh at it!" Zhui Ming was still sarcastic, with a look of deep contempt on his face.

Zongzheng Yan stared at Zhuiming, "Zuiming, you're itchy again, aren't you?"

"Damn, what's the matter with itchy skin? If you have the guts to fight with me, whoever loses will be a turtle!" Zhui Ming jumped out to post a battle post.
