He was dressed in a Royal Guards uniform, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. When he saluted, his bony hands looked delicate.

But it is such a handsome man, like Uncle Rong, who can attract thunder.

She had seen Uncle Rong attract thunder from the sky, but she had never seen how Uncle Rong did it.

But Xie Yunchu——

She witnessed it with her own eyes!

He was like a banished immortal, suspended in mid-air, with a calm and ethereal temperament, calmly attracting the thunder from the sky without any harm.

"Come with me into the hall." Xiao Yao said.

"Me? Into the palace?"

Xie Yunchu couldn't believe it. As A Yao's personal bodyguard, he could only wait outside the court.

Xiao Yao nodded, "Didn't you say you would spend your whole life to see if I could accept you?"

"I'll make it happen for you now."

"What?"

"You'll know soon." Xiao Yao said as she walked towards the Qinzheng Hall.

The yellow light emitted by the Golden Crow illuminates the gate of the Qinzheng Hall.

Everyone who passed by was covered with a layer of golden light.

Xie Yunchu vaguely knew what she meant.

However, he still found it a little unbelievable.

"Thank you, young master. Go quickly."

"Yes, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess wants to choose you to be her attendant."

Tang An and Yi Rui spoke happily to Xie Yunchu.

He just felt as if he was standing in the clouds, a soft, unreal feeling.

Until he caught up with A Yao, and then he was really named the emperor's attendant.

After expressing his gratitude, the emperor asked the Ministry of Revenue to draft it.

All the ministers in the court congratulated Xiao Yao and Xie Yunchu. He felt that all his wishes had been fulfilled and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

Until his father Xie Yanheng patted his shoulder and said, "From now on, you must do your best and spend your whole life to assist Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

"Yes, father."

When I came back to my senses, I found that the court had been dismissed and A Yao was nowhere to be seen.

"Don't look for her anymore. Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess has returned to Jinrong Palace."

Xie Yunchu nodded.

Xie Yanheng continued: "The next successor to the Duke's Mansion can only be Xie Yunce."

"My son knows." He had been prepared for this since the day he fell in love with A Yao.

Fortunately, there is a younger brother, Xie Yunce, in the family. It would be great if Xie Yunce could become the Duke of Jicheng in the future.

"It's Xie Ying's birthday, if possible, please bring Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess into the mansion." After all, she is the daughter-in-law of the Xie family. Even if she doesn't kneel before the ancestors in the ancestral temple, it would be good to get to know the family.

After Xiao Yao ascended the throne as emperor, it would be even more impossible for him to go to the Duke's Mansion.

Xie Yunchu thought about it for a moment and remembered that Xie Ying’s birthday was in the same month as A Yao’s.

"Yes."

Xie Yanheng nodded and prepared to leave the palace. Xie Yunchu sent him out of the palace before turning around to find Xiao Yao.

In Jinrong Palace.

Tang An, Yi Rui and many others congratulated him in unison. This joy still feels a little unreal to him.

It was not until he entered Xiao Yao's study that the other party asked him, "Xie Yunchu, you are my servant now, how are you going to treat me?"

Xie Yunchu's mouth and tongue became dry, and his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he was hoarse.

"A lifetime? You said you would spend a lifetime to impress me."

"Yes, I will use it for my whole life." Their life has just begun.

"Even if you only have a little bit of me in your heart, day after day, month after month, year after year, you will always see me little by little."

"Are you so confident?" She looked stern as she quietly gauged the man's reaction.

I saw that he took it seriously, "I don't ask A Yao to love me deeply, but I ask for a little more love every day——"

Xiao Yao smiled, "A little more every day, a little more every month, year after year, well, it's possible that I will really fall in love with you."

Xie Yunchu smiled, stretched out his hand, and boldly held her hand.

Xiao Yao looked at the hand she was holding, then looked at him, "Fool."

Xie Yunchu smiled.

She broke free from his hand and told Xie Yunchu what her father had said to her in the morning, "Tell me, is what father said right? Uncle Rong still can't let go of mother, so he left Beijing early when he knew that father and mother were leaving Beijing, but he couldn't be with them anymore?"

Xie Yunchu thought about it and said, "I didn't think it was like this before, but now that you've said it, maybe this is the truth."

"So, Uncle Rong's elegance and transcendence are fake, and his lack of desires and wants are also fake—"

As she spoke, Xiao Yao suddenly looked at Xie Yunchu, "Do you think Brother Chen has a similar temperament to Uncle Rong?"

As she spoke, her eyes were still looking over Xie Yunchu, "You too, when you're unhappy, you have that quiet, gloomy look on you, very similar."

Xie Yunchu frowned, "I——"

"Don't say you're not, you are. You Taoists look carefree and indifferent to the world, but in fact, you are blocked from the Taoist gate."

Xie Yunchu: “…”

Xiao Yao continued, "Uncle Rong loves the Queen Mother."

She looked at Xie Yunchu, "You covet this prince!"

Xie Yunchu pursed his lips and said nothing.

Xiao Yao continued, "Brother Chen, Brother Chen went from Buddhism, where the four elements are empty, to Taoism today. I'm afraid he doesn't even know what love between men and women is."

Speaking of Xiao Chen, Xie Yunchu felt that A Yao's analysis was quite correct.

Xiao Yao has already sat down.

She sat in front of the desk, on which were the latest memorials from the day. After reviewing them, she would go look for Zhen'er, her mother, and her father, because what her father said was right. Who knows when they will be able to meet again in the future?

"Then shall I grind ink for Your Highness?" As he spoke, he rolled up his long sleeves and poured some tea in.

Following one direction, that bit of tea gradually turned into thick ink.

Xiao Yao picked up the brush and said to Xie Yunchu, "Do you like this palace?"

"I like Ayao."

"Would you like being trapped in this palace for the rest of your life?"

He raised his eyes to look at her and answered in the same way, "I like A Yao." He paused, "Wherever A Yao is, I like that place."

Xiao Yao was excited in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, "Then I'll leave the palace."

Xie Yunchu paused, "I still want to follow you."

"So, my father has my mother, and I have you."

Xie Yunchu felt these words were like honey in his ears, "Yeah."

"The day before yesterday, I went to the Imperial Observatory. You waited for me in the shelter outside the Imperial Observatory. Do you remember?"

"Remember." He was still thinking that day whether A Yao missed Master Rong.

I felt sad for a long time.

Xiao Yao continued, "That day, I went to see Master Ding."

Went to see Old Man Ding?

"Old man Ding said that before Uncle Rong left the capital, he gave the seal of the Supervisor to Brother Chen..." Her smiling eyes suddenly darkened.

"I haven't dared to tell my father and mother about this matter..."

Xie Yunchu understood, "Ayao is afraid that they will be sad."

"Well, my father and mother will not force Brother Chen to be the emperor, but they also hope that he can be like the children of ordinary noble families, with many children and grandchildren, especially the royal family, where the number of descendants is declining..."

Xiao Yao frowned, thinking back to the time when she was waiting for her mother to give birth to Zhen'er, she felt terrified. She could only give birth to one...

But how can a child do that?
