    Xizhi smiled at him gratefully and said softly: "Thank you."

    Han Li twitched the corners of her lips in disbelief. At this moment, Chunhen's voice came to mind outside the door: "Miss, the old lady asks you to come over now."

    "Okay, I understand." Xizhi turned around and agreed. When he turned back, he found that there was no trace of people in front of him. His heart suddenly sank. After being stunned for a moment, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

    " Hanli is a knight-errant, who comes and goes without a trace. This is also because he is free and easy and informal, so why should he feel sad about it.

    Because it was evening, Xizhi simply put on a bun and plain-colored home clothes. After some thought, she asked Yingyue to find a light blue jade hairpin and insert it into it. Then a few people went over to Rongxi.  Hall.

    When she arrived, she realized that the whole family had already arrived except for her. After she paid her respects to her grandparents, Minzhi stood up with a smile and congratulated her. These days, her eldest brother rarely goes home because he has to be on duty at the Dragon Guard.  It seems that I came back specially today to send blessings to my sister.

    "This is a gold bracelet I got when I was in southern Xinjiang. It's not expensive, but it's a bit exotic. You can keep it." Minzhi handed over a wooden box. It was colorful and looked like the one from the Central Plains.  Very different styles.

    When he opened it, it turned out to be a gold necklace, engraved with complicated and mysterious patterns. Xi'er smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, brother, Xi'er likes it very much."

    "Then see if you like this of mine?" After hearing this, Yuanzhi handed over a beautifully designed jade box as if he was busy offering a treasure, and said with a proud smile: "I spent a long time searching for this.  Guaranteed to be unique in the whole capital.¡±

    When the sun opened it, it turned out to be a butterfly-shaped jade pendant. The milky-white jade contained countless orange-red colorful textures, which were as vivid and gorgeous as flames. It was indeed rare.

    "Thank you, second brother. It is indeed very rare and beautiful." Xizhiyi thanked him softly and smiled sweetly at him.

    Normally, the girl would be either sarcastic or indifferent to him, but it was rare that she was so well-behaved and cute today. Yuan Zhi suddenly felt that his hard work was not in vain, and he was beaming with joy.

    "Second brother, today is also your birthday, and this is for you." Then Xizhi took a small jade box from Chunhen's hand and handed it to Yuanzhi.

    Yuanzhi smiled widely after hearing this, and couldn't wait to open it, only to find that it was also a jade pendant, but this one had emerald green wishful lines. Upon closer inspection, there seemed to be light green water waves flowing in the jade pendant, but  And completely natural.

    Qian Xinlan smiled at the side and said: "After all, they are twin brothers and sisters. They have the same heart. Even the gift-giving is as if they were agreed upon. They are given to each other."

    Everyone laughed when he said it, and the atmosphere in the room was extremely warm for a while.  The family sat together and chatted leisurely for a while. Mrs. Lin excused herself from being tired and sent everyone away.

    Xizhi also asked her and was about to leave, but Prime Minister Lin nodded to her and said, "Xi'er, please stay here for now. Grandpa has something to say to you."

    "Yes." Xizhi agreed, but her heart skipped a beat. It seemed that her grandfather was finally going to make it clear.  However, since I already knew it, I didn't care if they explained it.

    "Today is your big day. From now on, you will be an adult and no longer a little girl." Lin Xiang looked at her seriously, obviously not intending to hide anything anymore, but to talk openly and honestly with her.

    "You have also seen the congratulatory gifts from the Queen Mother and the Queen. You are so smart, you must have understood it immediately, right?"

    Xi Zhi said nothing, just nodded, waiting for his grandfather's next words.

    "This matter was actually settled more than a year ago. It's just that you were still young at the time, so I never made it clear to you." Mr. Lin was very scheming, and he knew that his extremely intelligent granddaughter had already guessed what was going on.  He was so generous that he simply told the truth. Regardless of whether she was willing to do so now, he believed that Xi Zhi would figure it out in the future.

    Xizhi was silent for a long time and asked: "My granddaughter knew that this was my aunt's wish. I don't know how you convinced the queen, but I want to know what the prince's attitude is?"

    Since there is no way to change it, whether she likes it or not, Xizhi has no other way to go. It is not her character, Lin Xizhi, to passively let others manipulate her.  So she wanted to know more about it to decide what to do next.

    Prime Minister Lin did not expect that Xizhi not only did not get angry, but also took the initiative to intervene. He couldn't help but secretly admired it. It seemed that his sister had indeed seen the wrong person. This granddaughter did have the demeanor of a general, and the questions he raised were also to the point, pointing directly to the key to the matter.

    "Your great-aunt decided this matter after consulting the prince. If heIf you don't want to, it will be difficult to convince Queen Yan.  "

    "Oh?" Xi Zhiwei was a little surprised. She originally thought that Mu Li, like herself, would passively accept it, but she didn't expect that he would voluntarily marry her as his concubine.  No matter what, this is a good sign. At least I will get married instead of facing a room full of enemies.

    After pondering for a moment, Xizhicai then asked: "Then what does grandfather think of the behavior of the Queen of Jin, mother and son today?"

    "It doesn't matter. I think it's a good thing. With the power of my Lin family now, the Jin Prince will naturally want to win over him. We don't have to push it out in a hurry. We can take this opportunity to raise your worth and let the Yan family see clearly. We  He's not the only way out." Lin Xiang sneered, in the eyes of an old fox like him, any situation can be used to take advantage.

    Since there is no retreat, although I hate these hypocritical tactics, I have to accept that anything can happen on this road.

    "The King of Jin has always been on good terms with my family. Now His Majesty is very kind to him. Instead, the Crown Prince has been reprimanded repeatedly. There are many rumors in the market that His Majesty intends to depose the Crown Prince. Why haven't my grandfather and great-aunt considered him?" Xi  Zhi asked with some confusion. After all, the Yan family and the Lin family had grievances for many years and would not accept her so easily. This road was full of risks.

    Prime Minister Lin gave her a serious look. It seemed that he could not simply use her as a chess piece in the future. This granddaughter would have a bright future if she was properly cultivated.

    "In fact, we were considering the King of Jin at the beginning, but after all, the prince is the orthodox one. Although the Yan family is at a low ebb, its power in the court is still unshakable. It is not easy to depose him and establish a new crown prince. "

    "And we didn't expect that the prince would be very active when he heard that he was going to marry my family. It can be seen that he has a good impression of you. He was the one who persuaded Queen Yan this time, and it didn't cost us any words."

    Xizhi nodded, understanding.  In other words, they had already decided that they would use her to manage the Lin family's future no matter what. Even if the prince was unwilling to marry her, they would find a way to establish a new crown prince.  Therefore, she could never escape this destined fate.

    "So, when will grandfather plan to let me enter the palace?" This is what Xizhi wants to know most.

    "Don't worry, you've just got haircut. This matter won't be made public until at least the end of the year. Now it's just to create some momentum." Lin Xiang smiled "haha".

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off from the decision to the wedding, it will take at least a full year, which means she still has a year and a half of freedom.

    "Since ancient times, there have been many changes in the court, but my grandfather has not worried about the long nights and many dreams. Has there been any change in the middle?" Xizhi asked slightly sarcastically, but she was also curious, why did her grandfather think that this matter would not change.  Is it just based on the prince's promise?  This is too unreliable.

    Prime Minister Lin smiled enigmatically: "I can't tell you this. I can only say that your great-aunt has obtained some kind of promise from His Majesty, so no matter how things change this time, our Lin family will not suffer."

    Your Majesty¡¯s promise?  Xi was surprised. Could it be that some kind of deal had been reached between my aunt and your Majesty? In other words, your Majesty supported Lin Yan and his family to join forces?  This is not like His Majesty¡¯s usual style. Is there something fishy in this?

    This has been said, and there is no need to go on. There are many things among smart people, so why bother talking about them all when they are just mentioned.

    But what exactly did His Majesty promise them?  Logically speaking, it was impossible for him to promise anything directly, but judging from his grandfather's attitude, it was impossible for him to promise nothing.  With this question, Xizhi returned to Chuxiyuan.

    Because she had something on her mind, she didn't want to go to bed early, so she asked Yingyue to come over and spread her hair. She still sat in front of the window and read, but Yingyue kept dangling in front of her eyes, which made her dizzy, so she had to put down the book and read.  She asked: "Yingyue, what's the matter with you?"

    Yingyue was startled and secretly glanced at Chunhen who was doing needlework, and said in a loud voice: "Noit's okay"

    Looking at her hesitant expression, Xizhi knew that something must be wrong with her, but she didn't want Chunhen to know, so she turned back and smiled at Chunhen: "Sister Chunhen, go and bring me a bowl of bird's nest soup."

    Although Chunhen is honest, he has always been careful and naturally

    She had already noticed that they had something to say behind their backs, so they agreed wisely and went out.

    Yingyue waited until she was far away, then mysteriously took out a box. The box was made of wood and looked ordinary on the outside, with nothing special at all.  He lowered his voice and said, "Miss, this is a congratulatory gift from Aunt Liya today."

    Xizhi took it and opened it while asking: "Why didn't Aunt Liya come in and sit down? What happened a few days ago?"?Don¡¯t they all stay for a while?  "

    "Hey~ Isn't it Miss's haircut ceremony today? I know you won't be free, not to mention there are so many VIPs here, how can she have the nerve to come in?" Yingyue said with a smile, but when she looked up she found that Xizhi didn't listen at all, just  Staring blankly at the opened box.

    "What's wrong with you? Miss." Yingyue asked curiously, stretching her neck to see what was in the box.

    Who would have thought that Xizhi closed the box with a "snap", and said lightly to Yingyue: "You don't have to wait anymore today, go down, I want to be alone and quiet."

    Although Yingyue was extremely curious, the young lady had become more distant from her in the past two years than before, so she didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so she had no choice but to agree and go out quietly.
