Qin Chu held Qiu Jinning's hand instead, hugged him into his arms, and watched the thin and light snowflakes fall: "I really hope that the spring test will come sooner, so that I can marry you as soon as possible."

Marriage is of course not so fast, what comes quickly is Hong Shao's banquet.

The next day, when the snow was still falling, Qin Chu and Qiu Jinning came to Pingle County Lord's Mansion where a new plaque was hung.

At a glance, the three princes, the princess of Anguo County, the daughters of each mansion, and the famous families in the capital, most of them have come, and the battle is really not small.

There was snow falling outside the hall, and rows of stoves were burning in the hall. Even with the hall door open, there was no trace of chill. The occasional wind blowing in brought a trace of coolness across the face, making it a bit more refreshing.

Sitting in the warm hall, the men's seats served strong wine and the dishes, and the women's seats served warm tea, creating a happy atmosphere.

When the guests were full, Hong Shao came late, and came to the hall together with Princess Anguo.

Qin Chu glanced at Hongshao, then at his own clothes, and a hint of subtlety flashed in his heart.

Qiu Jinning's identity has not been revealed for a day, so she will make a full set of the show, still wearing a red dress, but today it is cold, she is wearing a dark blue cotton coat inside, and a big red cloak around her, and she takes off the cloak as soon as she enters the main hall.Take it down.

Unlike Hong Shao, who is dressed in a red cotton dress, red from head to toe, red is flamboyant.

At this time, a loud voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty is here."

Empress Zhou Xie is also here!

Everyone knelt down one after another and bowed their heads to pay their respects, but no one dared to look up.

For a moment, the only sound in the hall was the slight sound of burning charcoal in the stove, and the sound of the empress' footsteps.

The empress stared around and sat down on the main seat: "Be flat, no courtesy."

After the opening remarks, everyone congratulated Princess Pingle on recognizing his ancestors and returning to his clan.

On the left of the empress is Princess Anguo, on the right is the newly named Princess Hong Shao of Pingle, and below are the three princes,

Qin Chu and the others were neither far nor near, in the middle of the hall, she glanced at Empress Zhou Xie from the corner of her eye.

Under the table, Qiu Jinning held her hand and said in a low voice, "Just wait and watch."

Qin Chu smiled, of course she knew, so she stopped looking there and concentrated on drinking tea and snacks.

With the empress present, everyone lowered their voices subconsciously, not daring to make any noise, and ate food in silence while chatting in low voices.

Qin Chu was half full after eating, so he picked up the teacup and sipped it, then turned his head slightly to look at Qiu Jinning.

Qiu Jinning had also put down her chopsticks, and when she saw her looking over, she smiled at each other.

The tea is warm, neither hot nor cold, just right for the mouth.

Qin Chu looked at Qiu Jinning, whose brows and eyes were slightly cold, because the smile on the corner of his mouth seemed a little gentle, and he felt that the light tea was like wine, and he was a little drunk when he drank it.

The person in her line of sight was exceptionally good-looking, and every frown and smile touched her heart.

She couldn't help but put down the teacup, stretched out her hand to hold Qiu Jinning's hand, and sighed softly, "That's great."

"What's the matter?" Qiu Jinning smiled and looked at her with soft eyes.

Qin Chu held her hand tightly, and his eyes were tender: "It's great, you are by my side." In front of my eyes.

Qiu Jinning pursed her lips, her heart beat faster, and she tried to be calm and said, "Drink tea honestly."

Qin Chu stared at her and couldn't move his eyes: "I drink too much, I don't want to drink anymore."

Qiu Jinning lowered her eyes and said nothing, she clenched her fingers slightly and intertwined with Qin Chu's. The two unconsciously felt a little guilty, and each looked up.

He saw Hong Shao walking towards them with the help of the maid.

The left and right guests also looked at the newly released His Royal Highness Pingle Princess.

Walking to the center of the hall, only a few steps away from them, Hong Shao waved the maid to step back and approached them alone.

The distance of a few meters can be reached by ordinary people in a few steps, but Hong Shao seems to be having a particularly difficult time walking, her steps are slow and stiff, and her steps seem to be unable to move forward.

The queen looked at this side without showing any signs of expression. This woman has difficulty walking. She only said that her left leg is sick and kneeling is inconvenient. She usually needs a maid to support her when she walks. She did not expect it to be so serious.

She looked at Princess Anguo: "Sister Huang, did you find an imperial physician to show this child?"

Princess Anguo shook her head: "This child is stubborn, he insists that he is not in the way, so he won't let him see."

The two of them had just exchanged a few words when they saw the person in the middle of the hall suddenly fall straight to the ground.

The red skirt was lifted up, revealing a log prosthesis without any cover, reflecting the panic that should have appeared on Hong Shao's face, and the atmosphere suddenly became strangely silent.

The maid froze for a moment, and hurried to help Hong Shao up.

In the hall, everyone looked surprised, the princess had only one leg!

Only the few people on the main seat had different expressions, and they all looked carefully.

At this glance, one can see something strange, the red dress, one leg, seems to be 21 years old, the same age as Qiu Jinning.

Even the eyes of the empress fell on Qiu Jinning like the three princes.

Qiu Jinning drank the tea lightly, her expression was justly surprised by this matter, there was nothing wrong with it.

After such an accident, Hong Shao returned to the empress's side and did not go to Qiu Jinning again.

The queen glanced at Princess Anguo and asked casually, "Pingle is twenty one this year."

The name certificate for reporting to the Ministry of Rites said 21, and the date of birth, so she didn't pay attention to it.

Hong Shao pursed her lips, and said with a look of panic: "Return to Your Majesty, I just passed my 20th birthday at the end of March this year, so it counts as 21."

"The end of March? When is March?" The Queen's expression changed slightly, and her tone lowered.

"The last day of March."

The last day of March is the birthday of the Huang girl calculated by Qin Tianjian. This girl is also from Jiuqu County, double tenth, and her birthday also coincides. She is wearing a red dress and has one leg!

The queen stabilized her mind and continued to ask: "Who did you want to find just now, but you met an old friend?"

She knew that Hong Shao was going to find Qiu Jinning, and the person sent to protect Huang Nu had reported that Hong Shao and Qiu Jinning seemed to have old grievances, and that this woman even wanted Qiu Jinning's life in Qingshi Temple.

Fortunately, she has been sending people to watch Qiu Jinning's whereabouts, and she also has a protective mind. Before the matter is settled, Huang Nu must not be lost.

Hearing this, Hong Shao raised her eyes and looked in the direction of Qiu Jinning: "Your Majesty, my old friend is Xieyuan Qiu Jinning from Jiuqu County. She was rescued by her when I was in trouble in the early years. Later, for some reason, she drove me out of the mansion.Kill everything, she was not such a person before, maybe she misunderstood me."

"That's it." The queen's face darkened, and Qiu Jinning killed Hong Shao?

She couldn't help but think of Qiu Jinning's identity as a phoenix girl. If the real phoenix girl is Hong Shao, Qiu Jinning knows the truth and wants to replace her...

This explanation seemed to make sense, but it made too much sense, as if she was being led to think this way.

The queen glanced at Hong Shao, thinking in her eyes.

After Xi San, she looked at Princess Anguo: "Sister Huang, let's go for a walk with me, and watch the snow on the way."

"I obey the order." Princess Anguo stood up, accompanied the queen and left the hall, and nodded almost imperceptibly when passing by Qin Chu's position.

Sure enough, Hong Shao not only wants to recognize her ancestor and return to her clan, but also seeks to identify her as a phoenix girl.

"Sister Huang, do you think Qiu Jinning is really a phoenix girl?" The queen held the hand of Princess Anguo with a solemn expression.

Qiu Jinning was the first to respond to the prophecy, but the identity of Huang Nu is not as simple as first come, first served, and the first one may not be the one they are looking for.

A thought even appeared in her mind, Ruo Hongshao was the daughter of the phoenix, the daughter of the first eldest princess, and the royal family was orthodox.

It is impossible for the three princes to marry Hong Shao as their wives, and it is impossible to get past the etiquette.

So the meaning of Baiyue Zhou's millennium is that the throne will fall into the hands of this woman?

Could it be that her three princes are too useless?Can't you pass the threshold of a thousand years?

The Queen's heart was startled by a huge wave, and her mind was unsure of what to choose, and she kept swaying.

Princess Anguo patted her hand: "Your Majesty, that prophecy is not true, don't worry about it."

The queen was not appeased, she stared at Princess Anguo and said, "I admire sister Huang very much now."

There was no beginning or end in the sentence, and Princess Anguo's face was blank: "What does Your Majesty admire about me?"

The Queen sighed and did not speak.

What do you admire?

I admire the emperor's sister who clearly has the throne at her fingertips, but she took the initiative to let her take the throne.

Unlike her, although she has the ability to govern the country, she is still inferior to Huang Jie in terms of temperament.

For example, just now, when she thought that the throne was falling apart, and her three sons were useless, she even killed Hong Shao for a moment, so as to prevent future troubles.

But if the prophecy is true, Hong Shao is indeed Huangnu. If she kills Huangnu, the Baiyue Zhou family will be sad for a thousand years. She doesn't want her ancestors' foundation to be destroyed in her own hands, and she doesn't want the royal family's struggle to affect all people.

"Sister Huang, my aunt is right. I can be a good monarch. The only fly in my ointment is that my heart is not cruel enough."

The empress is full of melancholy, if she is not cruel, she cannot directly kill the princess, and if she is not cruel, she will not be able to disregard the prophecy in order to pass the throne to her son.

Princess Anguo frowned slightly: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much. There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. You are a good emperor. Since you took the throne, the national power of Baiyue has been flourishing, and the people live and work in peace and contentment is proof."

The choice she made with her concubine back then was not wrong. Zhou Xie was indeed a good emperor, who worked hard for half his life and was worthy of the throne.

The queen let go of Princess Anguo's hand, and sighed: "Sister Huang, I want to ask you something, tell me what is in your heart, what did you think when you abdicated the throne?"

The meaning of the first queen can be ignored. Aunt Bai Xianfei has always wanted the emperor to succeed her as a long-cherished wish for many years, otherwise she would not have trained her to assist the emperor.

Ninth Five-Year Supreme, Lord of the world, why on earth did Sister Huang let her go.

Princess Anguo smiled and said frankly: "Your Majesty should know that when it comes to farming, I am good at it and enjoy it, but when it comes to governing the country, I am not one-tenth as good as you. I thought very simply at the time, whoever is suitable for that position can benefitGive it to anyone in the world."

The empress nodded if she had realized something: "I understand, sister Huang is righteous, and I will follow suit."

She will also include Hong Shao in the assessment, just like the three sons, the sage will live there, the capable will live there, instead of blindly caring about status.

Sending the queen into the carriage, Princess Anguo was still a little confused, what do you know?

Looking back, she saw Qin Chu and Qiu Jinning who were leaving together: "You and I - I will accompany Madam to sit in the wine pavilion of the Qin family at night. Madam likes the fruit wine in the wine pavilion."

She wanted to say that she went back with Qin Chu and the others, but she realized that her relationship with Hong Shao should be close on the surface, and she should not have too close contact with Qin Chu, so she changed her words.

Qiu Jinning saluted, "My daughter respectfully sends you off to His Royal Highness the Princess."

Watching Princess Anguo go away, she looked at Qin Chu: "Do you know what Princess Anguo means?"

Qin Chu understood: "Let's go straight to the Wine Pavilion, and we just happened to have dinner there. My boss needs to be more concerned about business."

It is best to make an appointment at the Wine Pavilion, which can deceive people, and they are all their own people inside and out, safe and reliable.
