Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

"Go ahead."

Emperor Tianqing was always more lenient towards Yan Ci.

"Why did Your Majesty punish the Hua family?"

Yang Zhao, who had been standing silently aside, suddenly shuddered and couldn't help but raise his eyelids to glance at Yan Ci.

This Lord Xiao Yan never stops until he says something shocking!

He asked about the Hua family right away. Don't you know that the Hua family is the one that His Majesty is most afraid of now?

Yang Zhao secretly worried for the frail Lord Xiao Yan. He wondered how many beatings Lord Xiao Yan's frail body could withstand if the emperor got angry.

Emperor Tianqing, who was sitting on the couch, was slightly stunned. He obviously did not expect Yan Ci to ask about the Hua family so directly.

Today, the Hua family has fallen from a majestic general's mansion to an existence that everyone avoids. Even those who are on good terms with the Hua family, no one dares to come to him to beg for mercy, for fear of being associated with the Hua family and implicated themselves.

Unexpectedly, the first person who came to him and asked about the Hua family was Yan Ci, who had no connection with the Hua family at all.

His gaze stayed on Yan Ci's determined face for a while, then slowly moved away and looked at the lush and flourishing tree outside the window, as if thinking about how to answer this sensitive question.

"You should be aware of the crimes of the Hua family." Emperor Tianqing's voice was calm and steady, with unquestionable majesty. "Hua Cishu assassinated the prince and should have been executed, but I spared his life because he had fought for the country for many years and made great contributions. As for Hua Yingchou, he was not a good parent and was punished with the same crime. Considering that he was unaware of the situation, I only stripped him of his title of general, which made no difference to him since he had already retired from the army."

Yan Ci complained in his heart: What a huge difference.

One is a great general with a majestic and powerful military authority, and the other is an ordinary citizen with no power and influence and dependent on others, even worse than an ordinary citizen. God knows how hard it feels to fall from the clouds.

Her father was a strong-willed man. Not only was his only son exiled, but he himself became a commoner. What if he couldn't get over it?

Yan Ci lowered his head. Emperor Tianqing did not hear the rebuttal in his heart, but when he glanced at Yan Ci, he saw Yan Ci's eyes moving around, which showed that he disagreed with his answer.

Emperor Tianqing covered his mouth and coughed twice, "Girl, why do you care so much about the Hua family?"

Yan Ci raised his head, half joking and half serious, and said: "I admire the Hua family. They have been loyal to their duties and guarded our Daxing all their lives. I feel sad for them to end up like this."

Emperor Tianqing looked at Yan Ci, and a smile gradually appeared on his serious face, "Does he really admire you or is he thinking of you? Maybe he has chosen someone from the Hua family and came here to get information."

Upon hearing this, Yan Ci could not help but widen his eyes. Why was Emperor Tianqing thinking only about love? As an emperor of a country, was it really okay for him to think like this?

In order to prevent Emperor Tianqing from randomly matching couples again, Yan Ci waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, how could that be? I really admire the Hua family."

Emperor Tianqing pretended not to hear Yan Ci's words, moved his body to a more comfortable sitting position, and continued to think according to his own ideas.

"Speaking of which, the Hua family is indeed good. They are good-looking, capable, and brave and fearless heroes. It's no wonder that they attract many young girls."

Emperor Tianqing said, his eyes fell on Yan Ci, "But little Yanqing, you have such an outstanding son like A Yin in front of you, how can you still look down on others? Compared with the sons of the Hua family, the sons of the Xie family are not bad!"

Yan Ci seemed to be frozen in place, his mouth slightly open in shock and unable to close.

What Emperor Tianqing said made her jaw drop.

Somehow, even Xie Chengyin was involved.

She came to inquire about the Hua family, not to choose a husband. Besides, Hua Cishu was her brother. Although her identity had changed, Hua Cishu remained the same in her heart.

No matter how hard you try, you can't choose him.

Yan Ci forced out a helpless smile, "Your Majesty, you are wrong. I don't like General Hua. I treat him as my brother."

Upon hearing Yan Ci's answer, Emperor Tianqing's eyes suddenly lit up, the smile on his face became more intense, and he leaned forward out of interest, "So you're interested in A Yin?"

Yan Ci couldn't help but touch her forehead. She and Xie Chengyin would not be able to get over the matter with Emperor Tianqing, right?

"No, he's also my half brother."

Emperor Tianqing curled his lips and leaned back on the couch with some regret. His interest had just been piqued, but he was brought back to earth by the answer from Yan Ci, his half-brother.

Listening to what the two said, Yang Zhao, who was standing next to them, covered his mouth and laughed. He had been holding it in for a long time and he really couldn't help it anymore.

Your Majesty, whenever you have free time, you think about being a matchmaker and always push your luck around one person.

Hearing Yang Zhaokuku's suppressed laughter, Emperor Tianqing rolled his eyes at him.

"You are also laughing at me for failing to be a matchmaker again, aren't you?"

Yang Zhao tried hard to hold back his laughter, "How dare I?"

He just felt that Emperor Tianqing was not really suitable to be a matchmaker.

Yan Ci saw that Emperor Tianqing's mind was no longer on business and there was no point in staying any longer, so he seized the opportunity and prepared to escape.

"I will take my leave now. I will come to visit Your Majesty another day."

Seeing Yan Ci running out of Mingyi Palace, Emperor Tianqing's face suddenly turned cold, and he said to Yang Zhao: "Send someone to investigate Yan Ci's dealings with the Hua family. I always feel that her thoughts on the Hua family are not that simple."

Yang Zhao bowed his head and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

You don't think that the other person has ulterior motives. It is obviously you who have ulterior motives. In order to let her become your nephew's wife, you almost said that she has ulterior motives.

Yang Zhao was also surprised. The thirteenth girl from the Yan family didn't look special, but she was treated so kindly by His Majesty. If someone else came to ask about the Hua family so openly, they might be beaten with a stick.

As a result, the girl from the Yan family not only did not make His Majesty angry, but also made His Majesty think about matchmaking for her again and again. This is a blessing that others can't even ask for.

Originally, His Majesty was in a very bad mood because he had dealt with the Hua family these days, but after she came and talked to His Majesty for a while, His Majesty's mood improved.

Although there were some elements of joking, he could see clearly that the gloomy look on Emperor Tianqing's face that had appeared since he fell ill had mostly disappeared.

Being able to please His Majesty is the greatest ability.

Even he, who had served closely for more than twenty years, felt inferior to her.

I guess this is what is called affinity.

After Yan Ci left Mingyi Palace, he left the palace without stopping.

She gained a lot from her trip to the palace today.

Although Emperor Tianqing did not reveal too much to her, she had already sensed the future direction of the Hua family from his attitude.

Perhaps, Emperor Tianqing had no choice but to deal with the Hua family.
