"No...no!" Su Changle turned his head away in order to conceal it, "No!"

"Oh, really?" Jiang Shen put the teacup in his hand on the table. He slowly walked to Su Changle's bed and squatted down. He picked up Su Changle's loose hair and wrapped two strands around his fingers.

lock up.

He asked with some confusion: "The princess is a bit strange. It was you who confessed in public before, but now you are the one who refuses to admit that she peeked. The princess' temperament is so volatile, it's really..."

"What the hell!" Su Changle didn't turn around, he just snorted.

"It's really..." Jiang Shen twisted the hair on his finger twice more and said softly: "It's difficult to deal with."

"You are so difficult to deal with, stay away!" Su Changle was a little angry, turned his head and pulled back the hair wrapped around Jiang Shen's fingers, and hummed: "Anyway, you are already my princess's horse, what else can you do?

Where are you running!"

Jiang Shen groaned at Su Changle's tone and couldn't help but chuckle. Then he took her hand and put it in front of him, and looked at it carefully.

Su Changle didn't know what he was looking at, so she also looked at it.

After being beaten, the palms that were originally soft and smooth became red and swollen. Now they are covered with ointment and are shiny, just like a well-oiled pig's trotters.

Greasy... little pig's trotters!

Thinking of this, Su Changle simply couldn't bear it.

She put her palm back and said, "Are you reading this princess's joke?"

"No, the princess is too worried."

Su Changle glanced at him and happened to see the smile in his eyes.

Bah, that's not the case. If you say it's not a joke, it's just a lie!

Changji Hall.

The winter sun sets early, and the Changji Palace has already lit the lamps in the past, but today, His Majesty waved his hand and asked the palace ladies who came to hold the lamps to go down.

He reached out and pushed open the door of Changji Hall.

The only remaining afterglow outside reflected on his face, looking warm and sad.

Eunuch Xu looked at His Majesty's back and walked behind him: "Your Majesty, it's time for dinner."

"The first lunar month is coming soon, and for them, it's a new year."

His Majesty's voice was low, and even his whole body seemed to be setting little by little like the sun outside.

Eunuch Xu quickly advised: "It's also the New Year for Your Majesty."

"I am old, I can't compare with the young people..." His Majesty sighed, and suddenly said: "The leader's banquet will be held in two days. Are you planning to go too?"

"I heard from Concubine Yue that it should be like this."

"Is that so..." Your Majesty turned back to the Dragon Chair. The setting sun was gradually setting, and the remaining light could no longer shine on the Dragon Chair. "Then this year's Dragon Head Banquet will look very lively."

--

After the first lunar month, the most important banquet is held, the Dragon Head Banquet, which is scheduled for the second day of the second lunar month.

On that day, not only will His Majesty give hairpins to the top performers in the Spring Examination, but he will also hold a dragon boat race on the Jinchuan River. If he comes out on top, he can get a reward.

Su Changle didn't care at all whether he was rewarded or not. What she was worried about now was whether Jiang Shen would be unhappy when he saw His Majesty personally giving the hairpin to the leader.

On the morning of the second day of February, Su Changle woke up early.

She tossed and turned on the bed, sighing softly from time to time.

Jiang Shen woke up the first time Su Changle turned over. It was dark inside the bed tent, and the sun didn't rise outside, so there was only a faint light.

Jiang Shen was a little puzzled: Su Changle usually slept very well, why did he wake up so early today.

Su Changle didn't notice Jiang Shen was awake at all.

After all, when Su Changle wakes up every morning, there is no one around her.

Su Changle was worried, but he was too sleepy. Su Changle turned over and fell asleep again.

Jiang Shen listened to Su Changle's even breathing, quietly stood up, and turned his head to look.

Just in time to see Su Changle's little eyebrows knitted together.

--

"Princess, wake up quickly!"

Su Changle listened to A-Zhu's voice and opened her eyes drowsily. Because she fell asleep again in the morning, Su Changle was not full of sleep at all.

She pursed her lips and turned over, wanting to go back to sleep.

Ah Zhu saw Su Changle's plan and quickly stopped him: "Princess, you can't sleep any more today. Today is the leader's banquet!"

"The leading banquet..." Su Changle turned over, "Otherwise, I won't go."

If you simply don't show up, you don't have to worry about whether Jiang Shen will be unhappy!

Ah Zhu shook his head and pulled the person up: "This is not okay. It is the first time for the princess and the princess to attend such an important occasion after they got married. How could they not go?"

Hearing this, Su Changle felt helpless, but it did make sense.

"Okay, if that's the case, then dress up beautifully. If anyone dares to mention the matter of failing the exam, I will kick him into the Jinchuan River!"

"Yes!" Azhu also reconsidered.

When Su Changle packed up and carried the horns outside, he found that Jiang Shen had been standing outside the carriage waiting for Su Changle for a while.

Su Changle ran over and ran to Jiang Shen's side.

"Why are you waiting here? It's so cold here and it's great to go in."

Ever since Jiang Shen moved into the princess's mansion, Su Changle asked the kitchen to cook some good dishes, and even asked someone to prepare some medicinal meals for him, just to nourish Jiang Shen's body.

But Jiang Shen didn't eat much every time, and his meals were far less delicious than Su Changle's.

Jiang Shen saw that Su Changle was saying a lot of words before he could stand still. He stretched out his hand to hug Su Changle, and only took his hand back after Su Changle stood still.

Jiang Shen's hand never touched Su Changle during the whole process, so Su Changle naturally wouldn't know.

"Princess, please get in the car, it will be late."

Jiang Shen held Su Changle's hand and asked her to get in the car.

Su Changle was wrapped in a thick cloak, covering up the clothes underneath. It wasn't until the two of them sat down in the car and Su Changle took off the cloak that Jiang Shen saw that Su Changle was well-dressed underneath.

How thin.

After the first lunar month, the little girls put out bright spring clothes early, especially for this kind of banquet, they have to dress up beautifully.

I simply put on a nice spring dress underneath and a thick cloak on the outside.

It's not cold at all.

How could Jiang Shen know what the little girls were thinking? He picked up the book next to him and started reading.

Su Changle looked at Jiang Shen and suddenly said: "Jiang Shen, let me tell you, the leading banquet is actually boring."

Jiang Shen raised his eyes and looked at her: "Huh?"

"It's a bunch of people arguing there, it's so annoying." Su Changle said, and he snorted twice in disgust.

The reputation of the Dragon Head Banquet spread throughout the country, and even a fool knew that what Su Changle said was definitely a lie.

But……

Jiang Shen thought of Su Changle's frown in his sleep that morning, and raised his eyebrows: "Really?"

"Really, really!" Su Changle nodded fiercely, "So when the time comes, just follow me. I know a place, and it will be fun."

Jiang Shen lowered his eyes and looked at Su Changle, wondering what she was planning.

He arched his eyebrows and responded: "Okay."

--

The carriage was swaying, and Su Changle fell asleep in a daze for several times before arriving.

The carriage stopped and Jiang Shen got out first. Su Changle put on his cloak inside the car and then opened the curtain and came out.

"Changle!" Xie Jiaqi's voice came from a distance.

Xie Jiaqi saw Su Changle's carriage from a distance just now. She quickly ran over with her skirt in hand, and greeted Su Changle as soon as he showed his head.

"Good luck!" Su Changle was also happy. Ever since Taifu Xie brought Xie Jiaqi to dinner at King Jin's Mansion last time, the two of them had never seen each other again.

The two little girls hugged each other and jumped a few times. Then Su Changle asked: "What have you been doing during this time? There is no news!"

Xie Jiaqi whispered "Shhh": "It's not that I'm hiding from my dad. I've been pretending to be in a bad mood at home these days, otherwise my dad might let me get married one day when he's happy!"

After saying that, Xie Jiaqi looked around and said cautiously: "Your brother isn't here, is he?"

"It's like being a thief." Su Changle felt that Xie Jiaqi really didn't need it. "My brother basically doesn't come to places like this. Dali Temple is his forever home."

"That's good, that's good."

Xie Jiaqi stroked his heart, and then he had time to look at the person standing behind Su Changle: "Hey? This is the county horse, right?"

Xie Jiaqi leaned close to Su Changle's ear and whispered: "I didn't expect you to really catch your son-in-law."

Hearing what Xie Jiaqi said, Su Changle quickly touched Xie Jiaqi's sleeves and asked her to keep her voice down.

Xie Jiaqi blinked and said: I understand.

Su Changle turned sideways and introduced to Jiang Shen: "This is Xie Jiaqi, my princess's close friend and my future sister-in-law."

Xie Jiaqi was fine at first, but when she heard the word "sister-in-law", she choked on her own saliva!

"Ahem...Su Changle...you!"

Su Changle quickly told Xie Jiaqi: "Isn't this princess telling the truth? Is it possible that you are still thinking about escaping from the marriage?"

Xie Jiaqi listened to Su Changle's words. If she hadn't been unable to stop coughing, she would have pinched Su Changle's face, hard!

It was Jiang Shen who spoke first: "I've met Miss Xie."

It took Xie Jiaqi a while to recover, and she gave Jiang Shen a blessing: "I've seen the county horse."

Jiang Shen nodded.

Xie Jiaqi was about to say something, but her eyes glanced behind Su Changle, and her expression suddenly changed. She quickly covered her face with her sleeves and asked in a low voice: "Didn't you say your brother wouldn't come?

"

"Yes, my brother has never..."

Su Changle listened to Xie Jiaqi's words and looked at her movements again. She turned back and followed Xie Jiaqi's line of sight just now, and sure enough she saw Su Heng, who rarely appeared here.

Su Changle was also shocked.

Isn't Su Heng's butt supposed to grow on a chair in Dali Temple? Why did it happen this time?

Su Changle looked at it with doubt for a while, and then he saw the person following Su Heng.

Hang out on Monday?

Su Changle blinked and thought of something.

"Okay, okay, stop looking. Your brother will find me soon." Xie Jiaqi could not wait to turn his head and dive straight into the Jinchuan River, so that Su Heng would never see him!

"No! I still can't stand with you!" Xie Jiaqi thought for a while, but still felt that Su Changle's goal was too big. She covered her face and ran away, "You two are having fun, I'm leaving first."

"Hey you!" Su Changle looked at Xie Jiaqi's back and couldn't stop him at all.

Su Changle sighed helplessly: OK.
Chapter completed!
