He Songning was not the only one with mixed feelings.

On the other side, Duke Zhao Guogong had just returned from the palace, but found that his son was not there.

When I asked the servants again, not even Manager Zhao was there.

Sitting alone at the table, he felt uncomfortable no matter what.

Fortunately, Mr. Zhao sent someone back to report, and then Mr. Zhao found out that he had gone to the outskirts of the city with Miss Xue.

He asked in a low voice the person who came back to report the news: "What else did the steward say?"

The boy thought for a while and said: "I also said that Miss Xue is very good, that she is both ice-snow and smart, yet also has a good heart, handles things properly, and has fantastic ideas..."

How many words can be used in one person?

Duke Zhao interrupted him: "Okay, I understand."

He knew his old housekeeper, and to be able to make Mr. Zhao say so many compliments, this Miss Xue must be really great!

Thinking back to that day in the Lotus Garden... Xue Qingyin was calm and calm.

It is indeed one worthy of attention.

Duke Zhao was silent for a long time and said: "Get ready to go down..."

The boy looked up in surprise.

What to prepare?

"What does it mean to verbally recognize a girl from the Xue family as Ah Feng's goddaughter?" Zhao Guogong paused and said, "We still need to have the proper ceremony."

The boy showed understanding and nodded in agreement.

"It's just..." Zhao Guogong hesitated and said, "We don't have any female relatives in our house, so I always worry about outsiders gossiping."

The boy answered: "Unless... the young master recognizes a godson again? Then will Miss Xue become less controversial?"

Duke Zhao fell into silence.

He had thought about giving Zhao Xufeng an adopted son a long time ago. But the people from the same clan... were all born with mud-legged backgrounds, and they only followed him to heaven.

How many of these people can see it?

One day in the future, he will be kicked to death by his legs, and it is impossible to say whether his adopted nephew will secretly abuse Zhao Xufeng.

Therefore, Zhao Guogong never thought about this matter again.

Even the closest blood relationship in this world may not be reliable.

What's more, there are side branches that are close to each other?

It was not until today that Xue Qingyin aroused some hope in Mr. Zhao Guogong.

"Go and prepare first." Zhao Guogong said solemnly.

At Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city, General Manager Zhao was following Xue Qingyin to meet Ma Cao of the Xuanwu Army.

Ma Cao was in his forties, his hands were covered with calluses and his back was slightly hunched. He knelt in front of King Xuan without even daring to raise his head.

The room is silent.

Xue Qingyin could clearly hear his uncontrollable heavy breathing.

Ma Cao was very scared.

He never thought in his life that one day he would be able to come to His Highness King Xuan.

He kowtowed heavily, then raised his head carefully, and said in a hard voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I don't know... what can I do?"

Xue Qingyin answered: "There are many things you can do...I heard from Mr. Du that you have excellent horse-raising skills."

"Yes, yes." Ma Cao was flattered, and he didn't dare to raise his head when he heard the woman's voice. He thought to himself, it must be some princess or something, right?

"Can you teach them both?"

Which two?

Ma Cao thought and raised his head, seeing the two people standing behind the slender girl.

"able."

"Then it'll be hard work."

"No, I don't dare."

Ma Cao felt that today was like a dream. This noble man was so polite to pawns like them.

Xue Qingyin sent away the two horses raised by Zhuangzi and went to study again with Ma Cao.

As for herself, she turned around and poured a cup of tea for King Xuan herself, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness."

King Xuan moved his lips: "Yeah." What next?

He looked at her.

Xue Qingyin spoke again, but what she said was not how to thank him, but asked: "Your Highness will stay in Zhuangzi today?"

The lieutenant on the side was cheerful and was about to say that he would return to the city in a while.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he heard His Highness Prince Xuan respond again: "Yes."

"In which courtyard will His Highness stay?" Xue Qingyin asked.

"Zhiyu."

"Why doesn't Your Highness live in the main courtyard?"

King Xuan asked, "What do you think?"

Xue Qingyin knew now.

Because the master is not here.

Xue Qingyin said: "Then you should live in Qiu Shuangyuan, which is bigger. Zhiyuyuan is a bit small, but it is still the place where my eldest brother lived."

King Xuan gave a meal.

Judging from her tone, she seemed to be at odds with her brother.

However, King Xuan himself had always been at odds with other people, so he didn't find it strange.

The deputy general suddenly interjected: "Miss Xue, do you want to stay overnight today?"

Xue Qingyin nodded: "Well, let's stay here for a few days and relax."

"Are you worried?" the deputy general asked with concern.

Xue Qingyin sat down and said: "It's not too big to say it's big, and it's not too small to say it's small. It's just that I suffered some anger for nothing..."

The deputy general and General Manager Zhao asked almost at the same time: "Who is it?"

"How dare anyone make Miss Xue angry?"

Xue Qingyin frowned and said softly: "That's not convenient to say."

You still can't beat He Songning!

It's easy for He Songning to kill him in turn!

Thinking of this, Xue Qingyin couldn't help but turn her head and look at King Xuan again.

This one is pretty much the same.

This guy is also a ruthless person.

When King Xuan saw that she didn't speak, but just looked at him, thoughts quickly crossed his mind -

She wanted something from him, but she couldn't ask for it?

"Your Highness, there is something..."

King Xuan paused.

...Well, it seems there is nothing she is ashamed to say.

"When we were visiting the lake that day, I heard that the current Holy Emperor wanted to select a concubine and a concubine for His Highness and the King of Wei. Is it true?"

The deputy general said quickly: "That's what happened!"

Xue Qingyin nodded and said, "Have you chosen the lake tour that day?"

The deputy general did not dare to answer now and could only turn his head to look at King Xuan.

So Xue Qingyin also looked at King Xuan.

Even Manager Zhao is a little curious.

Zhao Xufeng sat there dumbly. When he saw that everyone was looking at King Xuan, he also looked over. After just one glance, he covered his eyes in horror.

King Xuan: "..." "No." He said simply and neatly.

Didn’t the lieutenant-general say to himself that he had chosen a girl from the Lu family and the Qiao family?

How could it be no?
