Return of the Swallow

Qin Yining never imagined that her father would ask her such a thing in person.

She, a girl who has not left the cabinet, talked about this topic with her father, and her face turned red with shame.

Seeing Qin Yining being so shy, Qin Huai smiled and said, "You are a big girl, and our family's situation is special, and your mother's temperament is not suitable for participating in the affairs of the court, but your marriage cannot be separated from it. In the matter of opening the court, with my current status and status, you are my only daughter, and your marriage must be decided for you as a father."

"Yes, my daughter obeys her father's arrangements." Qin Yining nodded obediently.

Qin Huaiyuan smiled and said, "Then you are willing to be the crown prince for your father?"

Qin Yining's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words. He didn't know why he felt sad, but he still nodded: "As long as the father thinks the marriage is suitable, the daughter should obey the father."

Since ancient times, marriage has been the word of her parents' life matchmaker. She can't abandon her family in pursuit of her own happiness. She enjoys the benefits brought to her by the Qin family on weekdays, but she refuses to contribute to the family at critical moments, so who has she become?

Qin Huaiyuan had some thoughts of teasing her, looked at her expression, and said: "His Royal Highness is lenient, although he does not have much talent in politics, it is enough to be a guarding monarch. He is right You are wholehearted again, and when you know the news that the emperor and the queen are going to kill you, you can come and tell you as soon as possible, I think he is also sincere to you."

Qin Yining pursed his lips lightly, nodded and said, "What my father said is. His Royal Highness does have his advantages, but for one thing, as the monarch who guards success, his 'success' is too bad."

"My daughter said something very disrespectful. Today, the world is in chaos, and Dayan's peaceful days are temporary. Even if there are no foreign enemies, the corruption at home and the people must be rectified, and the people's suffering of displacement must be saved. But the emperor himself Everyone with a head is greedy for pleasure and disregarding people's livelihood. I think if you want to count on the emperor to work hard, it is better to count on him to Yu Bintian earlier.

"And the prince's talent is such a big mess in his hands, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold the air at all, not to mention that there are Tartars and Dazhou outsiders who are eyeing them. In my daughter's humble opinion, our Qin family had better make plans early. Think of a way out. Even if my father doesn't care about dying for the country in order to make a name for himself, he must also consider the old lady and the others.

"The lesson of Dingguo Gongfu's blood is right in front of us. Even if we are not afraid of death, we can't die for such a foolish and incompetent generation. Therefore, my daughter does not recommend getting involved with the royal family."

Qin Huai knew for a long time that Qin Yining was quick-witted and clear-headed.

It's just that now I hear her bluntly say it face to face,

That feeling is naturally different.

Although the contempt for the royal family in his words was disrespectful, Qin Huaiyuan had to admit that what Qin Yining said was right. He felt this way almost all the time in the courtroom.

He also wanted to turn the tide, to push the crown prince to the throne, and to straighten Dayan's unhealthy behavior.

It's a pity that the prince's talent is above painting and calligraphy, not politics.

"You little girl, what your father told you was about your marriage, but you were able to deny the prince with your political relationship."

Qin Yining blushed and said with a smile: "Daughter is not talking nonsense. Since the daughter's marriage can be decided by the government, why can't it be rejected by the government? The father is a member of the court, and the daughter will naturally be involved. These are also not allowed. something not to consider."

"So, you are more inclined towards Prince Zhongshun?" Qin Huaiyuan asked curiously.

Qin Yining choked his breath after being asked, and said behind him for a moment, "It's important that the father rejects the crown prince for his daughter. As for the rest, it's better to take a step by step."

Qin Huaiyuan heard the sound of the piano and knew the elegance, and laughed: "You are a clever ghost. It's clear that you don't look down on the stage, and you don't want to order your marriage to someone else for your father. That's why you say what to do."

Qin Yining's face turned even redder.

She really didn't want to admit that she was somewhat tempted by Pang Xiao. But the real father put her marriage on the agenda, and she couldn't help comparing Pang Xiao with those people. She always felt that the prince's talent was compared to Pang Xiao's, not to mention other aristocratic children. Didn't look right.

But even so, she has to accept the reality.

"Don't worry." Qin Huaiyuan put away his jokes and said, "Do you think any of the ministers in the court would dare to ask for you for the family's sons and nephews?"

"What does father mean?" Qin Yining didn't react for a while.

Qin Huaiyuan sneered, "That's why you can't see clearly because you are in it. You think, you were attracted by Prince Zhongshun during the peace talks, and once we returned to Beijing, the news was spread all over the city. And Zhongshun The prince never hides his love for you, and the announcement he made when he rescued your mother proved that the rumors were true. In order to please you and send you Ning Yuan, he suppressed the limelight of the queen, which was also witnessed by the daughters of the other seven great families. When you arrive, even if you encounter a Tartar assassin before you leave, no one will care, and they will pull you on horseback and lead you to escape."

"Pang Zhixi is a brave and resourceful person. From the beginning, he has been planning step by step, and he has already laid out this game, waiting for you to walk in. Now that the game has been formed, you have been rewarded him for a long time. If anyone else wants to marry you or move you, they will face his thunderous wrath. And he already has a bad reputation, so who would dare to move your mind? Those people, who saw Pang Zhixi's special treatment to you in Ningyuan that day, who would come to ask for marriage?"

When Qin Yining heard these words, her face was flushed with shame, not to mention her cheeks, her ears and neck were all red.

"It turns out that my father had an idea long ago and was teasing me from the beginning." She turned away angrily and refused to look at Qin Huaiyuan.

Qin Huaiyuan laughed heartily at the appearance of Qin Yining's young daughter's family, "Life is too boring, and there must be some entertainment."

"Father is really, he treats his daughter as entertainment." Qin Yining glared at Qin Huaiyuan angrily.

Seeing her like this, Qin Huai shook his head in a funny way.

Qin Yining couldn't help laughing when he saw his father like this.

In this way, she will be inseparable from Pang Xiao in her life.

With this knowledge, not only did she not feel angry, but she felt a little excited. She touched the red bean bracelet on her wrist, and the cool touch reminded her of the night when Pang Xiao left. A self-indulgent smile appeared.

At the same time, in the Dazhou military camp outside Liangcheng, Pang Xiao read the note, and in anger overturned the note in front of him, with a loud bang, Zheng Pei and Hu Zi were stunned.

Pang Xiao is not a person who is moody and angry, unless he wants to show it to others on purpose, the rest of the time, especially in private, he is a calm and even indifferent person.

The news brought by a carrier pigeon could actually make him so angry, and Zheng Pei and Hu Zi couldn't help but be surprised.

Zheng Pei asked worriedly, "But the old lady and Mrs. Tai were invited into the palace again?"
