Back to Zero

The queen came to pass the decree, and asked Xiaoying to enter the palace for an audience in three days.Xiaoying was nervous for three full days, until the queen sent someone to send a message, saying that Ling Qiyang would accompany him, and he got better a little bit.

In order to let the queen have a good impression of Xiaoying, Jun Liche did not ask to go with her.Otherwise, the queen will not like it if she has a clingy image.

Three days later, Jun Liche personally sent Xiaoying to the carriage. In order not to make him too nervous, he didn't give any instructions, and watched him and Ling Qiyang drive towards the palace in the carriage.

The queen met the two in the main hall.

"Greetings to the empress, the empress is safe." Ling Qiyang saluted.

"Cao Min sees the queen empress, may the empress have long blessings, a thousand years of gold and peace." Xiaoying knelt down a step behind Ling Qiyang and made a big salute.

"Get up." The Queen smiled and said, "Give me your seat."

"Thank you, Empress."

"Thank you, Empress."

After the two got up and sat down, the queen looked at Xiaoying who was sitting next to Ling Qiyang, and Xiaojing lowered her head slightly to avoid bumping into the queen.

"Che'er told me that he likes you very much and wants to marry you into the palace, so this palace called you here to meet and make a decision," the queen said.

"Yes." Xiaoying was still a little nervous, so she didn't talk much.

"How old are you?" the Queen asked.

"My empress, Cao Min is 20 years old this year." Xiaoying replied.

The queen nodded, "The age is appropriate. Raise your head and let me take a look."

Xiaoying raised her head as she said.After seeing his appearance clearly, the queen said: "He looks good, and he looks cute. What books have you read?" The queen knows that Jun Liche is a person who likes to read, and the princess who is married should also be proficient in it. Otherwise, if you live together for a long time, you will feel bored and boring.

"I've read all of Kaimeng's books. Because of family reasons, I only went to private schools for a few years, and I didn't have the opportunity to learn some in-depth knowledge. After arriving at the palace, the prince and princess invited Caomin to have a teacher, so they had the opportunity to continue studying "Xiaoying said very sincerely, after all, if the queen asks him one or two questions, if he can't answer, wouldn't it be a bad thing?

"Well, it's best if you're willing to learn." Since you've read all of Kaimeng's books, you must also be able to recognize characters. It's easier to learn everything after you recognize characters, and there's no rush for this.

"You are a child of Gao Mingqing Jun's family, so I don't have to worry too much about learning, as long as you have the heart. What hobbies do you usually have?" The queen's tone was more amiable.

Xiaoying thought for a while, and said: "Going back to the empress, the grass people don't have any hobbies. Before the grass people's family was not good, they couldn't let the grass people have any preferences. Now besides reading books every day, the most common thing the grass people do is cook. gone."

"Are you proficient in cooking?" the queen asked in surprise.

Xiaoying smiled embarrassedly, "I can't say I'm proficient, but I know a little bit. It's just that the prince and concubine don't think my cooking is unpalatable." This Xiaoying is really not lying, since he became Qingzi, he and Jun Liche confessed to each other Xiaoying always wanted to do something for Jun Liche, but Jun Liche didn't need anything, and it seemed that he didn't need to worry about it.One night, Junliche was dealing with business all night, Xiaoying was afraid that he would be hungry, so after thinking for a while, she went to ask the lady in the kitchen to teach him how to make supper.I never thought that he also has some talent for cooking. Although it is the first time to cook, he looks decent.

Knowing that he made it, Jun Liche was delighted and ate happily.So from that day on, Xiaoying started to learn cooking skills. Although he didn't cook every day, if Jun Liche was busy until late, he would make something for Jun Liche himself, which was considered as a bond between the two of them. A kind of intimacy.

"Whether you are proficient or not, it is good to know how to do it." The Queen smiled.How many children from this family can cook?Not even herself.So the queen was very happy when Xiaoying said that she would meet.There is such a virtuous Erqing, so that my son can eat a meal made by himself, which is really considerate that all gold, silver and jade can't be exchanged for.

"Yes." Xiaoying replied.

"You are gentle, and Che'er is also gentle. I think you will not quarrel in the future." After speaking, the queen looked at Ling Qiyang again, and said: "The children from your family are all very good."

"The emperor's honor is due to my cousin's pure heart." At this time, Ling Qiyang naturally wanted to call Xiaoying cousin, calling her name would definitely reveal her secrets.

The queen nodded, "I will report this matter to the emperor, and it depends on what the emperor wants." The queen is not too picky about Xiaoying, and thinks that he has a good temper, and Jun Liche also likes him, so there is no objection in all aspects. But after all, she is not alone in this matter.

"Thank you, empress." Regardless of what happened to Emperor Yanxi, at least half of the day's success has been achieved.

Before the queen could say anything more, she heard the attendants outside singing and shouting: "The emperor is here!"

The queen stood up with a smile and said: "I really said Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here."

Xiaoying and Ling Qiyang also got up to pick him up.

After saluting, Emperor Yanxi avoided the salutation, moved his eyes from the empress to Ling Qiyang, and finally landed on Xiaoying, asking: "This is it?"

"Back to the emperor, this child is Qi Yang's cousin." The queen replied.

Xiaoying knelt down again and said: "The grass-roots see the emperor, I hope my emperor is healthy and happy." The emperor's visit made Xiaoying even more nervous. She had finally relaxed because of the queen's kindness, but now she was all kicked out in front of Emperor Yanxi. Ran.

"Get up." Emperor Yanxi waved his hand and asked the queen, "Did you call me in?"

"Yes. The concubine originally thought that I would tell you later in the imperial study, but I didn't expect you to come." The queen said with a smile: "It's not all about Che'er..."

"Che'er? What's the matter?" The emperor looked at her puzzled, wondering why Jun Liche was involved again.

"A few days ago, Che'er came to tell me that he had fallen in love with a young son, a child of Gaoming Qingjun's family. The concubine saw that he was serious, and it was rare for him to fall in love with someone. She didn't want to disappoint him, so she picked a date. , call people into the palace to take a look." The queen said softly.

Emperor Yanxi frowned slightly, and asked, "That's him?"

"Exactly. I just asked him some questions, and I think this child is not bad. I also thought about my sister's previous entrustment. Since Che'er likes this child, and this child is safe, I think, why not fulfill them." When her younger sister was dragged out, the queen believed that the emperor would definitely take care of her.

"Raise your head." Emperor Yanxi said.

Xiaoying looked up.

"Well, the appearance does match Che'er. It's just that I hope that Che'er's main concubine is the daughter of an important official with a higher family background." Emperor Yanxi said.

Xiaojing lowered his head when he heard the words, his nose felt a little sour, and he couldn't help but feel aggrieved. He also thought that the emperor might look down on him, and he planned for the worst.But he didn't expect that the emperor would be so sad that he wanted to cry when he really said these words.But he has tried his best, if the emperor doesn't like him, it doesn't matter if he is Jun Liche's concubine.

Ling Qiyang frowned slightly upon hearing this, but didn't say anything.

The queen was stunned for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, although you are thinking about Che'er, I'm afraid he won't be willing. If it wasn't true, Che'er would definitely not tell my concubine."

Emperor Yanxi didn't speak, but frowned, as if he was still thinking about it.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Xiaoying also knew that her hopes were slim, so she simply knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the Caomin knows that he is not worthy of the Lord Chong, and he has no extravagant hopes for the position of concubine. The Empress is kind, and she summoned the Caomin to the palace to meet her. It's the grass people's luck, there is nothing more to ask for."

"Your majesty..." The queen also became a little anxious, "You promised your sister not to interfere with Che'er's marriage. Now that this is happening, I'm afraid it will make Che'er sad."

Emperor Yanxi remained silent.

Seeing this, Ling Qiyang knelt down with Xiaoying, and said: "Father, forgive me for being rude and outspoken. In the folks, the marriage between a woman and Qingzi attaches great importance to the attitude of the in-law's family. Even if the two parties are in love, if the in-law's family does not Agree, no matter how good a marriage is, it will end in vain. And this hurts not only the relationship between the two families, but also the relationship between the son and his parents. Xiaoying's background is not high, and it is reasonable for you to disagree. But please Guess Qingzi's face, don't say it face to face. Otherwise, even if Xiaoying follows Sixth Brother as a servant in the future, your words will be a knot in his heart. If Sixth Brother knows the reason, it may hurt you and Brother Six. Brother Six's father-son relationship."

Ling Qiyang knew that what he said was disrespectful, but he didn't want to see Xiaoying being wronged.Compared with him, Xiaoying's life is not easy.Now, to be so picky, even he felt uncomfortable.

Emperor Yanxi was not angry, nor did he blame him.He just looked at Ling Qiyang and pondered carefully.

Xiaoying lowered her head and clenched her teeth, holding back the tears in her eyes, not letting them fall.He understood that although he had changed his background, he was ultimately unworthy.He is just like his name, after all, he is just a shadow, unable to see the light.

"Your Majesty, what Qi Yang said makes sense. Che'er grew up so big, he never begged anything from his concubines, nor from you. He didn't even say a word about the delay in being crowned king, let alone Half displeased. Now that it is rare for him to ask, is it so difficult for the emperor to bear to see him sad?" The queen persuaded from the side.

Emperor Yanxi looked at Ling Qiyang, then at Xiaoying, and after a while, he said: "You guys go back first, I have to think about this matter again."

Ling Qiyang knew it was useless to talk too much, so he took Xiaoying and left.

After leaving the Yakun Palace, Ling Qiyang saw Xiaoying's tear-stained face, and gently wiped it off for him, but the comforting words got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word.He understands what it's like to love someone deeply, and also understands the pain of not getting what you want.Any comfort is so pale in the face of reality, all they can do is wait.

After Jun Liche knew about Emperor Yanxi's attitude, he didn't say much.He just thanked Ling Qiyang and took Xiaoying back home.

For several days, Ling Qiyang was not in a good mood.Jun Lixuan has no way to persuade her, so she can only accompany her.After all, he is not the emperor, nor can he influence Emperor Yanxi's thoughts.

After a few days of silence, Jun Liche wrote the scriptures and asked Emperor Yanxi to divide the land for him and allow him to leave Beijing after the next year.Emperor Yanxi has been worrying about Jun Chengyan for the past few days, but now his favorite son is doing this to him, Emperor Yanxi is really angry and annoyed, but he can't do anything to Jun Liche.

Jun Lixuan and Jun Liyuan were very surprised when they heard the news, and they ran to Chongwang Mansion.

Jun Liche only said that if he went to the fiefdom, the emperor would have nothing to do with him.Although not as good as the capital, at least he can stay with Xiaoying for a lifetime.If the emperor still wants to refer to the marriage, he will use all means to let the sending team die on the way, don't even think about stepping into his fiefdom.

Jun Lixuan could understand Jun Liche's mood, so he didn't say much.If that's the case, he doesn't mind helping out.

Jun Liyuan said that he would persuade his father to not be impatient, so as not to anger the emperor, which would be bad for Xiaoying.

A few more days passed in the dreary days, and it was finally broken after Papa Ling and Gu Yao came back.

When Ling Qiyang heard that Mingli came to report, he hurriedly greeted him happily.

"Daddy." Seeing Daddy Ling, Ling Qiyang immediately called someone, and then called Gu Yao, "Master."

Daddy Ling's complexion was much rosier than when he left, it seems that this trip really made him feel a lot better.

"It's cold, get inside quickly, don't freeze." Papa Ling said.After all, Ling Qiyang's body is not as good as before, so he should take extra care of it.

"Yes." Ling Qiyang responded with a smile, and helped his father to walk towards Ling's father's yard.

After entering the room, Daddy Ling quickly asked him to sit down, and asked, "How are you? I haven't seen you these days, and the child seems to be getting older."

"Well, I'm fine. The child doesn't make trouble, so don't worry, dad." Ling Qiyang smiled.

Gu Yao looked at his face, sat down at the table, and said, "I'll take your pulse."

Ling Qiyang stretched out her hand obediently.

After consulting for a while, Gu Yao said, "Didn't you sleep well recently?"

Ling Qiyang nodded, he knew he couldn't hide it from his master, and he didn't want to hide it.

"What's going on?" Gu Yao asked.

Ling Qiyang looked at his father, then at Gu Yao, like a wronged child who wants to complain to his parents, he talked about Xiaoying's entry into the palace all at once.

After hearing what happened, Papa Ling sighed and didn't say anything.Gu Yao frowned and remained silent for a while without saying a word.

Seeing that his father and master are not talking, Ling Qiyang can only continue to worry...
