Qin Zhen stayed in the palace for a month. Seeing that it was the end of the year, she had no plans to go home.
Linglong is already busy and planning things for the New Year.
She had not been in the mood to make a fuss before. After all, the prince would not come back and there would not even be a master in the house. This year would be the same.
But it's different now, Qin Zhen lives in the palace. If Qin Zhen is here, she is no different from the master. She can't let Qin Zhen spend this new year in a deserted way, she must make it lively and lively.
Festive lanterns were hung at the entrance and on the corridor, and even the treetops in the yard were covered with small lanterns. The red area looked very festive at first glance.
On the twenty-ninth day, Qin Zhen packed her things and took Manman home to celebrate the New Year.
Although Qin Hong was still on duty in the palace and could not return, Qin Yi and Xiao Yu were both at home, and she had to go back to reunite with her family.
Linglong was a little disappointed and asked in a low voice: "Princess, will you come back tomorrow night?"
Qin Zhen was silent for a moment, and then said: "Tomorrow's New Year's Eve, as usual, I have to attend the New Year's Eve banquet in the palace. It should be very late after the New Year's Eve banquet, so I won't come and will go back to the Qin Mansion directly."
Linglong; "...Okay."
The princess has her own family, so she should return to her home during the New Year.
However, she still felt a little disappointed in her heart.
After sending the people away, Linglong looked at the bustling arrangements in the mansion and thought to herself: It would be great if the prince was here.
It's a pity that the prince is far away in southern Xinjiang. According to the original plan, the prince will not be able to come back until next summer.
——
New Year's Eve.
Xiao Chengye still held a banquet in the palace to entertain the officials.
During the entire banquet, Qin Zhen sat on the table and dozed off, without interacting with anyone during the whole process.
Only when Xiao Chengye distributed new year's money to his juniors as in previous years, she got up and received one.
The New Year's Eve banquet was bustling until early in the morning. After coming out of the banquet, Qin Zhen was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes.
She was supported by Manman and walked out of the palace gate in a daze. Just as she was about to get into the carriage, someone grabbed her sleeve.
Manman's voice on the side was a little deep, and he shouted: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Qin Zhen was so excited that she woke up from her drowsiness.
She turned back to look at Xiao Jue who was tugging on her sleeve, narrowed her eyes and asked, "Your Highness, what are you doing?"
Xiao Jue took a deep breath and said, "Zhen Zhen, we need to talk."
Qin Zhen's tone was very calm: "We have nothing to talk about."
"Why is there nothing to talk about?" Xiao Jue sounded a little anxious, "You clearly have me in your heart, and I also have you in my heart. Why don't we have nothing to talk about?"
Xiao Jue used some strength to pull Qin Zhen towards him: "Where have you been these days, why can't I find you? I finally saw you at the banquet today, but you didn't look at the whole process
I glance at you. Zhen Zhen, I know I did something wrong, but are you a little too unfeeling towards me?"
Qin Zhen wanted to get rid of him, but Xiao Jue didn't know whether he was drunk or not. He was extremely stubborn and held Qin Zhen's hand with extra strength.
Qin Zhen was forced to let Xiao Jue pull her to a secluded place. She looked up at Xiao Jue and said impatiently: "What on earth do you want to say?"
Xiao Jue looked at Qin Zhen with fixed eyes, and said with some sadness: "Zhen Zhen, do you really like me? Why do I see less and less love for you now?"
Qin Zhen's eyes flashed and she finally said: "If you think so, there's nothing I can do about it."
Xiao Jue: "..."
Xiao Jue was blocked for a long time and couldn't speak, and finally had to say: "Zhen Zhen, I just made a small mistake, is it so unforgivable in your eyes? I said I can change it, why don't you believe it?
Woolen cloth?"
Qin Zhen: "What did you change? Did you send away all the women in your harem, or did you drive out the woman named Jiaojiao?"
Xiao Jue choked again and finally said: "Zhen Zhen, when did you become so aggressive? You were not like this before."
Qin Zhen sneered in her heart. She was indeed not like this in her previous life, but what happened to her?
She was obedient to him with all her heart and soul, and as a result, her whole family suffered a terrible death.
Xiao Jue didn't know why, but she always felt that Qin Zhen's eyes were a little cold.
He thought that he must have drunk too much to see it wrong. How could Qin Zhen look at him with such cold eyes?
It must be my own illusion.
Xiao Jue stretched out his hand to take Qin Zhen's hand, lowered his tone and coaxed softly: "Zhen Zhen, I promise you, as long as you nod to marry me, I will send away all the messy women in the harem. But Yan Yu is you
Your maid is also the mother of the little emperor's grandson. She must be kept. Jiaojiao... When Jiaojiao gives birth to the child, I will let her get out immediately and I will never let her get in your way. Do you think this is okay?
"
Qin Zhen took a few steps back to avoid Xiao Jue's hand, lowered her head, and said lightly: "Forget it, you can't do it."
Xiao Jue: "I've said it all, but you're still not satisfied. What do you want?"
Xiao Jue also lost his patience. Without thinking, he just blurted out: "If I don't really like you in my heart, how can you be a princess if you are a bandit?"
Qin Zhen suddenly raised her head and looked at Xiao Jue, and said slowly: "I finally spoke my true heart."
Xiao Jue: "What..."
"In your heart, you have never thought highly of me. You only married me because the power behind me can be used by you." Qin Zhen said word by word, "You have always believed that a female bandit like me is
Not worthy of you!"
Therefore, in his previous life, after he successfully ascended the throne, he quickly turned around and surrendered to Yun Ruying. Because Yun Ruying was different from her. Yun Ruying was the daughter of the imperial censor, and she was a serious person.
A lady from a high family is worthy of him.
Therefore, the first thing he did when he secured his position was to eradicate the Qin family, who was born as a bandit. The existence of the Qin family was like a stain on him. As long as the Qin family was still there, it would bring shame to him, Xiao Jue.
Xiao Jue looked at Qin Zhen with increasingly cold eyes, and finally realized that he had said the wrong thing.
"I'm sorry, I just lost my mind. Those words can't be taken seriously." Xiao Jue said immediately, "I apologize, I didn't think so in my heart, I just..."
"That's enough, stop acting." Qin Zhen interrupted Xiao Jue, looked at him with those cold eyes for the first time, and said word for word, "You disappoint me so much, you don't deserve my love."
.”
After saying that, he ignored Xiao Jue's obstruction and left quickly.
When she got on the carriage, Qin Zhen's mood had not yet calmed down.
The ends of her eyes turned slightly red, and her mind uncontrollably recalled the events of her previous life.
She felt her head hurting.
After the carriage ran for a while, Qin Zhen suddenly said: "Go to the palace!"
