    Two days later, the news came that Xia Di had beheaded Meng He at Yumen Pass. Emperor Longyan was very pleased. He drafted a decree in court announcing that Xia Di's squadron had returned to the court and gave him several rewards.

    Princess Derong has not closed her mouth since she got the news. She has been counting on her fingers all day long to calculate when Xia Di will return, and she even looks at Feng Chuyue a little bit pleased with her.

    That day, Xia Qian returned to Ning. When she got off the carriage, she saw many carriages blocked at the entrance of the mansion. They must have been officials from Chang'an who had heard the news and came to curry favor with her.

    Entering the hall, he saw his mother sitting at the top, talking kindly to some family members. When his daughter came back, Derong smiled and asked her to sit down, and said to her: "Your second brother has already broken camp and returned to Chang'an.  You can come back in twenty days at most."

    Xia Qian smiled and said: "That couldn't be better. I thought that the second brother would have to stay at Yumen Pass until Yuanzheng. It's time for my mother to relax. Not only did the second brother remain unscathed, he also achieved military exploits. You should have done it early  It¡¯s time to put aside these concerns.¡±

    After talking to her mother for a while, the visitors left one after another, and Xia Qian went to visit Feng Chuyue in the inner courtyard.

    Derong hesitated for a moment, then called his daughter and said, "Now that you are married, you don't have to avoid many things that you should avoid saying before. I want to tell you something."

    Xia Qian vaguely guessed what her mother was going to say, her face turned slightly red, and she said softly: "Mom, just tell me what you want to say, I'll just listen."

    Derong took his daughter's hand and sighed: "Mr. Liu, who went to Yumenguan with your second brother a few days ago, sent a letter back, saying that Erlang's farewell was good, even the two girls he brought were all rewarded by him.  He didn¡¯t accept anyone, and there wasn¡¯t even anyone around him to serve him. A Niang thought, he was so angry when he married Feng Chuyue, but he was young after all, and even if he ignored Feng Chuyue, he wouldn¡¯t even bother him.  I don¡¯t want to deal with the girl, but who would have thought that this child is so stubborn? Ah Qian, tell me, what is your brother thinking, is he still thinking about that Qu family?¡±

    Xia Qian's eyes flashed and she said with a smile: "Aniang, you are worrying too much. I heard that Menghe has always been cunning and has thousands of Turkic soldiers under his command, making it extremely difficult to deal with. My second brother can return to the court victorious this time. I wonder what he will eat."  As for Fanku, when he was at Yumen Pass, my brother was afraid that all his thoughts were focused on military strategy and power, so how could he have any spare time to think about other things? Although the two girls were servants, they were also delicate and expensive. When they arrived at the barracks, they couldn't shoulder the burden  If you can't carry them, my elder brother will just think they are a burden, so it's not surprising to reward them to others. It will be fine when the second elder brother returns to Chang'an."

    Derong sighed with relief and said to his daughter: "My son can still talk. My mother-in-law also understands this truth, but I always have to talk to you, so that I feel okay."

    He raised his eyes and saw his daughter¡¯s delicate look on her face, and asked her in a low voice: ¡°How is your seventh brother treating you?¡±

    Xia Qian¡¯s face felt hot and she nodded shyly.

    "That's good." Derong sighed with a smile, then thought of something, and said, "You have always seen things clearly. The prince of this dynasty has always had a set of rules. Even if one or two of his concubines are favored, in the final analysis, they are just  Concubine, there is no way I can get past you. If you argue with them, you will lose your identity."

    Xia Qian lowered her eyes and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. She softly replied "yes" and sat for a while before getting up and going to the inner courtyard.

    Derong himself almost never visits Feng Chuyue, but he has no objection to his daughter visiting her second sister-in-law, so he has no choice but to let her go.

    Feng Chuyue was wearing brand-new clothes and was picking up gifts in the room with a full belly. Most of these gifts were from people who wanted to curry favor with Duke Wei or even Xia Di, but because they had just come to Chang'an, they didn't know much about Feng Chuyue's background.  Sent by the family members of deceased officials.

    Feng Chuyuehun didn't care. As long as they were given to Mrs. Xia Er by name, she would accept them all without ceremony.

    When Xia Qian came in, she was holding a pair of bright gold bracelets for children to look at carefully in front of the window, her eyes were full of smiles, and she was as happy as she wanted.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? That ??that raised his eyes and saw Xia Qian, but he still knew how to restrain himself, hurriedly put the bracelet back into the gift box, pushed it aside, supported his waist and stood up, came over, and said warmly: "Aqian."

    Xia Qian guessed the origin of those gifts at a glance. Remembering that her mother had always been too lazy to care about such trivial matters, she asked Feng Chuyue to take advantage of the loophole. She waited for her second brother to come back. It was fine if she didn't know. If she knew, Feng Chuyue would inevitably have another attack.  G.

    She sighed secretly, a smile appeared on her face, she helped Feng Chuyue in person, and called her affectionately: "Second sister-in-law."

    Seeing that Feng Chuyue¡¯s face really looked better because of this statement, he secretly smiled sarcastically, sat down next to her, gently stroked her belly and said, ¡°Has my little nephew been obedient lately?¡±

    Feng Chuyue smiled without any thought, "Everything else is fine, but he always likes to scratch and pull in my stomach when he has nothing to do. He is very naughty."

    ??"Of course I remember. Why did I suddenly remember to ask this?"

    "I just remembered that when I gave it to you, you originally planned to make it into a paperweight." King Wu put the teacup back on the table, "Who would have thought that you later made an apricot blossom hairpin. I don't know why you changed your mind."

    Xia Qian smiled unnaturally, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, "I just think that piece of East China Sea cold jade is very good. It would be a pity to make it a paperweight. It is better to make jewelry."

    "Really?" King Wu looked at Xia Qian quietly, "But a few days ago, I vaguely saw that Qu was also wearing an East China Sea cold jade hairpin on her head. The style is almost the same as yours. If you don't look carefully, you won't be able to tell.  respectively."

    "It turns out that Brother Qi wanted to ask this for a long time," Xia Qian relaxed and said nonchalantly, "Hers was made in the same jewelry shop as me. Seeing that I looked good on it, she followed suit and made one too.  .¡±

    King Wu's face slowly darkened, "Which shop? Runyuzhai? Although this shop is not as famous as Zhaixinglou, it is not difficult to find."

    Xia Qian¡¯s face froze.

    King Wu stood up, walked slowly to Xia Qian, clasped his hands, bent down and looked at her for a while, pretending to be confused and said: "I just came back from the store yesterday. Why did I hear the store said that the plum blossom hairpin was there first?"  , the apricot hairpin at the back?"

    Xia Qian unconsciously followed King Wu's movements and looked up at him, opened her mouth, but didn't say a word, and a layer of cold sweat slowly broke out on her back.

    King Wu said calmly: "I searched all over Chang'an City and found only one jewelry shop that made such an East China Sea cold jade hairpin. Coincidentally, the day after the previous customer bought the plum blossom hairpin, a noble lady from Chang'an bought it.  I brought a piece of East China Sea cold jade to the shop and ordered the shopkeeper to make another apricot hairpin according to the pattern of the plum blossom hairpin."

    Xia Qian's mind was racing, she suddenly forced a smile and was about to speak.

    King Wu didn't give her a chance to speak. He changed the topic and said, "Oh, I also remembered something. A few days before the wedding, you stayed overnight in the palace and asked me to go out for a tryst. When I came, you called me from behind.  You, why do you look like you¡¯ve seen a ghost?¡±

    Xia Qian's body remained motionless, but the sweat on her forehead rolled down her temples.

    The coldness in King Wu's eyes turned to sarcasm, "I don't want to ask anything else, I just want to ask you, why did you choose the lotus pond in front of the royal palace in the palace as the place for your tryst? You should know, then  It¡¯s the only way to get back the value of your home.¡±

    Xia Qian shook her head, grabbed King Wu's sleeve and said, "Brother Qi, listen to me¡ª¡ª"

    King Wu pulled the sleeve out of Xia Qian's hands, leaned over and patted her cheek gently, and said with a half-smile, "I really underestimated you."

    After saying that, it seemed that it was unnecessary to look at her again. He sneered, turned around and walked out of the room quickly, walking very neatly.

    Xia Qian watched helplessly as King Wu's back disappeared outside the door. Her body softened and she fell on the bed, burying her head in the pillow and beating the bed board fiercely.

    After a while, the nanny Liao hurried in.

    When Xia Qian heard the noise, she hurriedly stood up, sat up straight, straightened her hair, and tried her best to act as if nothing had happened.

    Mother Liao came to the bed and said anxiously: "Princess, weren't you and the prince talking in the room just now? Why did he go to Concubine Kang's yard in the blink of an eye?"

    Xia Qian gritted her teeth but did not speak.

    Nanny Liao stamped her feet and said bitterly: "The little goblin must have used some trick to lure the prince away. The prince and you have only been married for a long time, less than a month. If word spreads, I don't know how many people will gossip behind his back.  Princess, you have to find a way to keep the prince in the main room!"

    Xia Qian was upset after hearing this, and could no longer maintain the softness on her face, "Mommy, can you shut up and let me be quiet for a while!"
