This shadow guard, you are enlightened

In Xuanming Hall, after talking with Zhou Qiyou, Xing Chenmu asked someone to pass on Gongsun Jing again.

Zhuo Ying was originally standing behind him, and said with a smile, "Then Mu'er, check out Gongsun Jing's attitude first, and I'll leave for a while to deal with some matters."

This time Xing Chenmu quickly realized and asked, "Is it related to Gongsun Jing?"

"That's it."

After bumping into Lu Xian and Gongsun Jing's quarrel a year ago, Zhuo Ying thought that the two of them were getting closer, but half a year later, the two were still the same. They silently cared about each other.

Lu Xian is Xing Chenmu's cousin, so he is also Zhuo Ying's cousin. This time, Zhuo Ying really wants to meddle in this little business and help them.

Xing Chenmu saw that Zhuo Ying had no plans to tell him yet, so he said, "Go, but don't go for too long."

"Is Mu'er going to be busy soon?" Zhuo Ying was taken aback, "I'm not in a hurry with what I want to do, it doesn't matter if I go later."

Xing Chenmu suppressed a smile, and said solemnly: "It's nothing, but Ah Ying has been away for too long, I will miss you."

Zhuo Ying's face turned hot when she understood, and she held back for a long time without thinking of how to respond, and finally had to flee in a hurry, but after walking a long way, she could still hear Xing Chenmu's laughter in Xuanming Hall.

After Lu Xian left the Shadow Guards, he moved to live in the Jinwei Army barracks outside the palace, but fortunately the Jinwei Army also had to be on duty in the palace, and Zhuo Ying quickly found him.

"Lu Xian."

"Master Zhuo, why are you here?" Lu Xian was a little surprised to see Zhuo Ying who had suddenly found him. It seemed that he hadn't seen Zhuo Ying for a while since he was transferred from the Shadow Guard Army.

"I'm here to ask you something." Zhuo Ying still looked cold, paused for a while and said directly, "Are you interested in Gongsun Shanggong?"

"This...I..." Lu Xian never thought that Zhuo Ying would suddenly care about such a thing, his face flushed slightly, and he scratched his head for a long time without saying anything.

"That's unintentional? It seems that I misunderstood before." Zhuo Ying pretended not to see Lu Xian's embarrassment, and said deliberately.

"No!" Lu Xian hurriedly denied, but after realizing that he was too excited, he said softly, "Why does Master Zhuo care about this all of a sudden?"

"It's not that I want to care. The Gongsun family chose a marriage for Gongsun Shanggong. The Holy Majesty also thinks it's good. Now I'm planning to issue an imperial decree to bestow a marriage. I just remembered to tell you."

As soon as Lu Xian heard it, he was really anxious, and he didn't care about the rules. He pulled Zhuo Ying's sleeve and asked, "Where is the Holy One now?"

"Xuan Ming Palace."

After Zhuo Ying's words fell, Lu Xian's figure had leapt far away, he shook his head helplessly, and reported to Jin Weijun for the other party, and then followed.

On the other side, Gongsun Jing heard that Xing Chenmu was looking for her, so she didn't dare to delay, and quickly rushed to Xuanming Palace. Xing Chenmu explained Gongsun Shangde's meaning straight to the point, and briefly introduced Zhou Qiyou's personality and knowledge to her, before saying: " I promised you not to decide your marriage without authorization, so I came to ask you what you mean."

Gongsun Jing breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and bowed on her knees: "Forgive me, my lord, this marriage cannot be agreed to by an official."

This result was consistent with what Zhuo Ying said. Xing Chenmu didn't feel angry, but asked curiously: "Why? Zhou Qiyou is the champion of the new discipline, and his character and knowledge are all excellent. Do you really not consider it?"

Gongsun Jing shook her head very firmly: "I already have someone I like."

While the two were talking, a report came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Lu Xian from Jinwei Army is asking to see you."

Originally, Xing Chenmu must not be disturbed by others when talking with others, but Yan Qing knew the relationship between Lu Xian and Xing Chenmu, and seeing that he was obviously very anxious, so he made an exception to report for him.

When Lu Xian came to see him at this time, Xing Chenmu was surprised for a moment, but quickly connected the whole thing, and said to the outside world: "Let him in."

Besides Lu Xian and Zhuo Ying who entered together, Zhuo Ying stood beside Xing Chenmu, leaned into his ear and whispered: "You can see, this is a couple."

Xing Chenmu lightly pinched his waist.

When Lu Xian saw Gongsun Jing kneeling on the ground after entering the door, he was taken aback for a moment, then immediately knelt beside her after regaining consciousness: "My lord, please don't give Gongsun Shanggong a marriage."

Gongsun Jing was afraid that Lu Xian would get into trouble, so she said anxiously in a low voice: "Lu Xian, you don't have to worry about this matter."

"Do you really want to marry that person?" Lu Xian was wrong, with a face full of disbelief.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel in front of him, Xing Chenmu coughed and asked, "Lu Xian, you don't want me to give Gongsun Shanggong a marriage, so you have to give me a reason?"

"Because, because this subordinate treats Gongsun Shanggong..." Lu Xian looked at Zhuo Ying who was at the side, and saw that he obviously had no intention of explaining himself, so he kowtowed and gritted his teeth, "Your Majesty, you, You cannot promise your future cousin-in-law to others."

Gongsun Jing originally thought that Lu Xian would finally admit his love for her, but unexpectedly, she didn't understand a word of the second half of what Lu Xian said, and could only stare blankly at him.

In fact, not only Gongsun Jing, but when Lu Xian said this, even Xing Chenmu and Zhuo Ying, who knew the inside story, were very surprised. After a while, Xing Chenmu said: "Get up first."

Lu Xian's face was already blushing, he stood up with his head down, and was about to help Gongsun Jing, but was thrown away by the other party.

Xing Chenmu saw it, and said to Gongsun Jing: "Gongsun Shanggong doesn't know yet, Lu Xian is the queen mother's nephew, and my cousin. My cousin is very stubborn. He has never treated the queen mother or the queen for many years in the palace. I revealed my identity, and I only found out when I went out of the palace in Weifu last year and returned to my ancestral home. Now that he is begging me with this identity for you, it shows that you hold a lot of weight in his heart."

After speaking, he said to Lu Xian: "Since you are interested in him, you should make a decision earlier. If I didn't ask Gongsun Shanggong about this matter, but directly issued an order, don't you still want to snatch the marriage?"

Lu Xian could only blushed and said, "Yes, this subordinate knows it's wrong."

"Hurry up and tell your uncle and aunt, and find someone to come to your door to propose marriage. If there is any inconvenience for them, the queen mother must be very willing to arrange the marriage for you."

Lu Xian didn't dare to look at Gongsun Jing's expression at all, and just nodded repeatedly: "Don't bother the Queen Mother, I'd better inform the family first, and let my parents make arrangements."

After the matter was finished, the two of them withdrew, and Xing Chenmu hugged Zhuo Ying and said, "Okay, when did Ah Ying know about this matter, but he didn't reveal it to me at all."

"When I took Lu Xian to meet the queen mother a few years ago, I accidentally bumped into the two of them arguing. I was just guessing." Zhuo Ying hugged Xing Chenmu flatteringly, "Isn't this very good? Lovers get married eventually."

"A Ying seems to like being a matchmaker very much recently." Calculating carefully, Zhuo Ying first interceded for Yan Qing and Xiao Ying, and then guided Ying Ba Ying Jiu, and now he is also matching Lu Xian and Gongsun Jing. It really has the potential of a matchmaker.

Zhuo Ying was embarrassed by what he said, and said after a while: "Maybe it's because I'm so happy now, so I can't see others being trapped by love."

"It seems to be more and more pleasing to me, let me see if Ah Ying's mouth has become sweeter." Xing Chenmu licked Zhuo Ying's lips as he spoke, "It's really sweet."

Zhuo Ying had no choice but to beg for mercy: "Mu'er stop laughing at me."

"How is this a joke? It's too late for me to like A Ying." Xing Chenmu smiled, and changed the subject before Zhuo Ying became angry, "Then according to A Ying, what kind of person should I promise Zhou Qiyou?"

"How can I know this, why don't I ask him what he thinks? I saw that he seemed hesitant to speak that day, you should have a good talk with him some other day." Zhuo Ying thought for a while and said.

Xing Chenmu also felt that it was reasonable, so he stopped thinking about it for the time being.

On this day, Xing Chenxiu entered the palace to seek an audience, and brought a secret letter written by Cangchuan Emperor Helian Chunfeng.

In the letter, Emperor Cangchuan proposed peace between the two countries. He wanted to use Ran Ying's power to quell the upcoming civil strife in Cangchuan. Correspondingly, if Ran Ying helped him, he would naturally give back when his throne was stabilized in the future.

There is currently no princess in Ran Ying Palace who is suitable for marriage, not to mention the long distance to Cangchuan. It is unknown whether she can adapt to the water and soil of Cangchuan after she gets married, and she will be respected by the people of Cangchuan.

In the past, Xing Chenmu must have directly refused this matter, but recently Xing Chenxiu has lost so much weight that even the genius doctor Hua Xin has no solution, and getting married is an opportunity for Xing Chenxiu.

No matter who marries to Cangchuan in the end, it must be escorted by Ran Ying's army, and looking at the entire Ran Ying, no one is more suitable to lead this army than Wei Yan, who has fought against Cangchuan many times and knows the terrain along the way .

After Wei Yan left Luancheng, Xing Chenxiu could rest with peace of mind and no longer have to worry about the secret being discovered all day long. After Xing Chenmu weighed it, he cared more about his elder brother, and he was not so resistant to the marriage.

Officials from Cangchuan with paperwork and dowry gifts will arrive in Luancheng in a few days. The two brothers have discussed the relevant matters, and now they only need to choose a suitable candidate for marriage.

Xing Chenmu thought that he would make a plan after discussing with the ministers the next morning.

Not long after Xing Chenxiu left, someone came to report again, saying that it was Zhou Qiyou asking to see him, and Xing Chenmu announced him into the hall. He thought he had some business to report, but Zhou Qiyou came here for his own marriage.

After that day, Zhou Qiyou hadn’t seen Hua Baiwei for a while. In the past when they got along, Hua Baiwei mostly took the initiative. When Zhou Qiyou went to Luancheng to prepare for the exam, Hua Baiwei followed him to Luancheng, looking for him almost every day. When I met him, sometimes I watched him write and paint, and sometimes I asked him to go to temple fairs and markets together.

But since Hua Baiwei misunderstood him last time, Hua Baiwei has looked for him again in the future, and Zhou Qiyou also wanted to understand during this period that it was not that Hua Baiwei could not do without him, but that he had already Putting Hua Baiwei in his heart is because he cannot do without Hua Baiwei.

Because of this, he thought about it, and it seemed that there was no better way than telling Xing Chenmu directly that he had his own attachment.

After listening to him, Xing Chenmu looked at Zhuo Ying, raised his eyebrows and said, "Since you already have someone you are interested in, why didn't you say it directly when I mentioned it, instead you came to clarify it now?"

Zhou Qiyou smiled wryly: "The Holy Majesty suddenly mentioned the matter of giving the marriage to the minister. The minister was a little flustered at the time and didn't know what to do. After going back and thinking about it for a few days, he realized what he really wanted."

"Even if I want to blame you, or even affect your career because of it, you don't intend to accept my marriage offer?"

"Marriage is not a bargaining chip for my minister to seek benefits. I already have a sweetheart, and I dare not delay other good women. I hope the Holy Master will learn from me." Zhou Qiyou said truthfully.

Speaking of this, Xing Chenmu also understood that he had made up his mind, and sighed: "Nowadays, there are quite a lot of infatuated people inside and outside the palace."

Since Zhou Qiyou came to report this matter to Xing Chenmu, he was naturally willing to bear the consequences. Regardless of whether Xing Chenmu would make things difficult for him in the future, he felt relieved when he came out of Xuanming Palace, and he just wanted to propose marriage to Hua Baiwei as soon as possible.

But no matter what, he never thought that facing reality the next morning would deal him a fatal blow, which made him regret it...
