The next day, when Lou Yan left, Qin Zhen didn't go to see him off.
She just got up early and did nothing, just sitting in the yard in a daze.
Manman stayed with her, and several times she couldn't help but want to persuade Qin Zhen to go out of the city to see her off, but in the end she endured it.
She also couldn't figure it out, saying that the princess didn't have His Highness in her heart, but she got up early and sat in the yard in a daze, and it didn't look like she had no one in her heart.
Manman's companionship lasted all morning.
Qin Zhen sat in the yard all morning and basically didn't move much.
It wasn't until noon that Qin Zhen got up and went back to the house, then closed the door and started to catch up on her sleep.
This sleep lasted another whole day.
Manman always felt that something was wrong with her, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she could only serve her carefully.
However, Qin Zhen's abnormality only lasted for this day.
When she woke up the next day, Qin Zhen was back to her usual self.
When I had nothing to do, I went to Wanyan Building to chat with Hongxue, but I never drank again.
Occasionally he would go to the palace to see the emperor, and then go home.
Nothing seems to have changed, but everything seems different.
Time flies by and the New Year is here in the blink of an eye.
It has been a year since the Queen's death, and the palace slowly began to become lively.
Recently, the Qin family has been busier than ever.
The imperial edict granting marriage to Qin Yi and Xiao Yu finally came down, and the wedding date has been set, on New Year's Eve.
The Qin family had no mistress, so Qin Zhen took care of everything about Qin Yi's marriage.
Qin Hong was on duty in the palace and was unreliable. Qin Yi was on duty at Dali Temple and had no time.
Qin Zhen is the only one in charge of the entire Qin Mansion, and she is busy keeping her feet off the ground.
On the wedding day, Qin Zhen wore a rare apricot red outfit and looked very happy.
As a younger sister, she performed the duties of an eldest sister.
All matters such as entertaining guests are done in an orderly manner.
The entire Qin Mansion suddenly became lively.
Those who dare not have a relationship with the Qin family, those who want to have a relationship with the Qin family, and those who are afraid of the Qin family, do not need to avoid suspicion on this day and come to visit one after another.
No one in the entire court was absent.
For those who didn’t know, I thought Qin Hong was very popular.
After the guests were properly arranged, Qin Zhen could barely breathe a sigh of relief.
She found a secluded place, sat down on the ground nonchalantly, stretched out her hands to rub her sore ankles.
Manman hurriedly knelt on the ground to help her knead it, and said softly: "Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work. When you get back, I will find a doctor to show you to your Majesty."
"No need, just rest and you'll be fine. I'm not so squeamish." Qin Zhen said lightly.
Manman frowned, a little disapproving, and was about to persuade again, but heard footsteps and quickly shut his mouth.
"So you are here," Xiao Jue walked up to Qin Zhen and looked down at her, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Manman hesitated for a moment, then stood up and took a few steps away, giving up his position to Xiao Jue.
Qin Zhen glanced at him and said softly: "I'm not uncomfortable, I'm just too tired."
When Xiao Jue heard this, his eyes showed a bit of smile.
He sat down next to Qin Zhen and said softly: "I've heard all about it."
Qin Zhen: "Huh?"
"Qin Yi's wedding, you are in charge of everything. Originally I was worried that you couldn't do it well, so I wanted to send someone to help you..."
"Then why didn't you send?"
"Ah?" A look of uneasiness flashed across Xiao Jue's face and he said, "I'm afraid you'll think too much and think I don't believe you."
Qin Zhen twitched the corners of her lips but did not respond.
He was not afraid of overthinking, he was just afraid of being discovered and making the emperor suspect that he had some ulterior motive for getting close to him.
Xiao Jue coughed slightly and said, "As soon as I saw it today, I knew that my decision was right. Zhen Zhen, you organized this wedding very well, and there was nothing wrong with it."
"After today, I think many people will have a different view of you." Xiao Jue looked sideways at Qin Zhen and said, "They used to think you were a bandit who didn't understand anything, but today's wedding is your best
Proof of.”
Qin Zhen's eyes flashed with disgust.
She doesn't need others to change her mind.
Moreover, the only person who really cares about her background as a bandit is Xiao Jue.
She repeatedly mentioned her background and acted like I don't dislike you so you should be grateful. It's simply disgusting.
Qin Zhen was bored and tired. She didn't want to chat with Xiao Jue, so she said directly: "Your Highness, I am a little tired and want to go back and rest first."
Xiao Jue was stunned for a moment, then stood up reluctantly.
He glanced at Qin Zhen and couldn't help but whisper: "You are so capable. If I leave the harem to you in the future, you will definitely be able to manage it in an orderly manner."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Qin Zhen rolled her eyes fiercely.
At first she was confused by Xiao Jue's words, and in the end she let him manipulate her like a fool.
Now that I think about it, he was just giving himself mental hints, guiding himself, and letting himself fall step by step.
Qin Zhen raised her hand and rubbed the center of her brow, her hatred for Xiao Jue getting even higher.
She thought, how long will this kind of life with Xiao Juexu and Wei Snake last?
"You don't seem to have any feelings for him." Xiao Yao leaned on a pillar not far away and said calmly, "I'm very curious about what method you used to make the elder brother feel that you were completely devoted to him and had to be him.
?”
Qin Zhen's eyes turned cold and she looked back at him: "When did you come?"
Xiao Yao smiled and said, "I've always been here."
He walked towards Qin Zhen and shook the wine bottle in his hand: "Have a drink?"
Qin Zhen shook her head: "I don't drink."
Xiao Yao looked blank for a moment, then raised his head and took a sip before saying, "That's such a pity."
"Your Highness, this is not the place for you to come." Qin Zhen stood up and said calmly, "The banquet hall is in front, and this is the backyard."
Xiao Yao said with a half-smile, "Why, brother can come, but I can't?"
Qin Zhen frowned.
Xiao Yao waved his hands quickly and said: "I just came out to sober up, and who knew I saw this scene? I didn't eavesdrop on purpose."
"However, I'm still curious, what method did you use to make your eldest brother devoted to you?"
Qin Zhen sneered: "In your eyes, he is completely devoted to me?"
Xiao Yao: "Isn't it?"
"If he was really devoted to me, there would be no first princess in the East Palace, let alone a concubine." Qin Zhen said lightly, "Every time he sees me, he won't act like a thief, for fear of being raped by others.
Discover."
"If this counts as giving up, it's really worthless."
Xiao Yao's eyes moved slightly, and after a while he said: "He is the prince, and he can't help himself in everything."
When Qin Zhen heard this, she suddenly laughed and said sarcastically: "The Fourth Highness fought to the death with His Highness the Crown Prince in the court, but in private he and the Crown Prince have a strong sympathy for each other?"
Xiao Yao: "..."
Xiao Yao sighed and said slowly: "How come you have become... so aggressive now?"
Almost every sentence he said was loaded with guns and sticks, making people unable to parry.
