Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

This sudden question made Yan Ci suddenly stunned. Why did Emperor Tianqing suddenly care about her feelings?

We know that Emperor Tianqing was a good emperor who loved his people like his own children and cared about his subjects, but he didn't go to the extent of caring about the personal feelings of his subjects.

Yan Ci frowned and thought, unable to guess what Emperor Tianqing was thinking, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

Seeing Yan Ci standing there in a daze without moving, Emperor Tianqing coughed twice, bringing Yan Ci's scattered thoughts back to reality.

"Yes or no, why do you need to think so long?"

Yan Ci chuckled, "I'm just thinking about who is my sweetheart."

Emperor Tianqing also laughed, "Why do you need to think about it? Your sweetheart is the person you always keep in mind. If you think about him, he is not your sweetheart."

Yan Ci said: "So, I have quite a few lovers.

Hearing Yan Ci's answer, Emperor Tianqing was surprised, "Do you have eight hundred minds, and not a few lovers, one in each mind? Do you know what I mean by a lover?"

Yan Ci said as a matter of course: "I know, didn't you say it all along? I'm the one who keeps it in mind all the time."

Emperor Tianqing nodded, reached out to pick up the teacup on the table, and motioned Yan Ci to continue.

Then she heard Yan Ci counting on her fingers and talking about her sweetheart: "First of all, my mother, my father, and my second brother, Miss Qiu too... Oh, and you too."

Emperor Tianqing almost spit out the tea he had just taken a sip of, but thanks to the royal etiquette that was deeply rooted in his bones, he was able to sit steadily and not lose his composure.

Emperor Tianqing's face turned green and red, "What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean I am one of them!"

Yan Ci said seriously: "You are, I miss you every day in my heart, thinking that you will eat well and sleep peacefully without me by your side to serve you."

After Yan Ci said this, Emperor Tianqing's expression finally eased a little. At the same time, he also realized that this girl Yan Ci really knew nothing.

He put down the teacup and said earnestly, "The sweetheart you mentioned is not the same as the one I mentioned. I meant to ask if you have someone you like."

Yan Ci let out a long "Oh", "Yes, my mother, my father, my second brother, I like them all very much..."

Emperor Tianqing suddenly felt his head buzzing. Why couldn't he communicate with this girl today?

The deep feeling of powerlessness made Emperor Tianqing sigh deeply in his heart.

Yang Zhao was standing at the door, feeling a little amused and helpless when he heard what was said. This Lady Xiao Yan was still a simple little girl after all.

Emperor Tianqing realized that beating around the bush with Yan Ci was a waste of energy, so he simply got straight to the point, "I won't say anything else, I just want to ask you one question, what do you think of my nephew A Yin?"

Yan Ci: "Thank you, young marquis?"

Yan Ci had just the right amount of surprise on his face, yet his expression was calm.

In fact, waves have begun to surge in my heart.

She smiled brightly: "Thank you, young marquis. You are handsome, good at martial arts, and your nephew. You are the dream lover of many women."

As soon as she finished speaking, Emperor Tianqing said slowly: "I had originally thought of arranging a marriage for the Yongding Marquis brothers this year. I have an idea of ​​the candidate for the Yongding Marquis' wife, but I am still considering A Yin's."

When it comes to Xie Chengyin's marriage, Yan Ci suddenly becomes interested: "Does your majesty have a candidate?"

Emperor Tianqing glanced at Yan Ci and said slowly, "Yes."

"Who?"

"you."

"I?"

The small waves in Yan Ci's heart instantly turned into huge waves, and the smile on his face froze in an instant.

She was wondering why Emperor Tianqing suddenly cared about her lover, and it turned out that he was waiting for her here.

It's not that she really doesn't know what the sweetheart means, she is just pretending to be confused even though she knows the truth, in order to see what Emperor Tianqing is up to.

As expected, no good medicine was sold.

It was just as she expected. Emperor Tianqing was planning to act as a matchmaker again, still wanting to bring her and Xie Chengyin together.

Thinking of the tragic death of Shen Zhaoyan, who was arranged to be married by Emperor Tianqing on the wedding day, Yan Ci had a huge psychological trauma from Emperor Tianqing's behavior as a matchmaker.

Fortunately, this time Emperor Tianqing did not directly issue an edict to grant the marriage, but also came to ask her opinion, which gave her room to maneuver.

Yan Ci said: "Your Majesty, please stop joking. It's not funny at all."

Emperor Tianqing said, "I am not kidding. I have long seen that you and A Yin have a close relationship. Since you entered the palace, A Yin has come to the palace every few days, saying that he came to play chess with me. But every time he disappeared in the middle of the game. Don't think I don't know, he ran to find you."

Yan Ci was embarrassed. Xie Chengyin had indeed gone to Yun Pavilion to find him twice, but both times he had something to discuss.

Besides, they have a close relationship, but it has nothing to do with feelings. It’s just that they are allies with common interests.

But the relationship of this alliance cannot be told to Emperor Tianqing.

Yan Ci said: "Your Majesty has misunderstood. Young Marquis Xie and my second brother are friends. He was entrusted by my second brother to look after me, so he took extra care of me."

Emperor Tianqing was skeptical: "Really?"

Yan Ci said firmly: "Really!"

"Then I'll ask you again, let's not talk about your relationship with A Yin, you just said that A Yin is good in every way. When you were with a dashing man like A Yin, did you ever fall in love with him?"

Are you attracted to Xie Chengyin?

Yan Ci asked herself, she was not sure.

She had never thought that there would be any feelings between her and Xie Chengyin. Since her rebirth, she had been focusing on finding out the truth about her death, and she and Xie Chengyin had always considered themselves allies.

Perhaps because she had lost her life due to marriage, she had no expectations of getting married and even had a little resistance.

There was no talk of feelings between her and Xie Chengyin, only of cooperation, and they had always gotten along very well. She had never thought of breaking such a harmonious and comfortable relationship and establishing an unknown and fragile one.

Thinking of this, Yan Ci replied: "Xie Xiaohou is very handsome and a very good man, but I really don't have any feelings for him."

She was telling the truth.

Emperor Tianqing looked regretful, but he knew that a forced marriage would not be happy. "Since you are not interested, let's forget about this marriage for now. My nephew is so outstanding, how can he not have trouble finding a wife? If you don't cherish him, don't blame me for not giving you a chance if you regret it in the future."

Yan Ci poured tea for Emperor Tianqing in a flattering manner, "How could that be? I don't even have time to thank Your Majesty."

Emperor Tianqing snorted coldly, "In a few days, Imperial Concubine Qiu will hold a flower-viewing banquet and will invite all the noble ladies from the aristocratic families in Dongdu. I will ask Imperial Concubine to keep an eye out for me to see if there is anyone I like."

When she heard that she was going to choose a wife for Xie Chengyin at this flower-viewing banquet, Yan Ci remembered that she had once promised Xie Chengyin to find him the best girl as a wife. Now that His Majesty wanted to arrange a marriage for him, she had to help him with some advice.

"Your Majesty, can I go?"

Emperor Tianqing glanced at Yan Ci and said, "Why are you going? Didn't you want to marry A Yin? Are you regretting it so soon?"

Yan Ci waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, I just want to give Young Marquis Xie a pass, as a way of thanking him for taking care of me all the time."

Emperor Tianqing looked as if to say, "Don't explain, I understand everything." He just didn't want A Yin to marry someone else, but he started to say one thing and mean another.

He tightened his face and pretended to be serious. "You can come, but don't make trouble. If A Yin can't find a wife because of this, I will promise you to him. At that time, I don't care whether you are willing or not."

Yan Ci smiled slyly, "Your Majesty, please give up this idea as soon as possible. I will definitely choose a good wife for Xiao Hou Xie."
