The couple looked at each other, and Mrs. Xu asked: "Then...what do you think?"
The Xu family is absolutely open-minded and serious about their children.
Xu Wanyi clutched the handkerchief and said in a low voice: "Daughter... listen to daddy's arrangements..."
After saying that, he turned around, picked up his skirt, and left, with a very flustered look on his back.
Mrs. Xu laughed: "This girl is so shy."
Xu Dinghai: "That's fine, it depends on what happens tomorrow."
After Mrs. Xu smiled, she became worried again: "Master, if it really happens, the Han family will become enemies."
Xu Dinghai also thought about it and thought it through clearly: "If you are not a good friend or a relative, why should you worry about alienation and enmity?"
The villain of the Han family is not afraid of offending the Xu family when he succeeds, so what does he have to fear?
When the Queen Mother wanted to choose a candidate for the queen, both the Han family and the Xu family were among them. Her daughter was often compared with girls from other families. After the Queen Mother selected Han Zhisu, they all fawned over the Han family and supported Han Zhisu.
However, he always pulls and steps on his daughter. It's not that he doesn't know about these things and doesn't care about them, but he can't take them seriously, otherwise his daughter will suffer even greater humiliation in the end.
He was unable to do anything before, but now that he has the opportunity to make a comeback, how could he shrink back because he is afraid of the Han family?
It was time to pay back the humiliation the Han family had given his daughter.
The next day, the Xu family's mother and daughter packed up and went out. Because the matter had not yet been completed, the mother and daughter were not ostentatious, dressed up and behaved, brought gifts, and entered the palace in the name of visiting the Queen Mother.
Empress Dowager Feng was filled with anger and then depressed. Although she fell ill all of a sudden, it was not a serious illness. The reason why she had been so sick was actually not because of illness, but because the dirty water on her body could not be washed away. The blame was too inexplicable.
So it’s hard to think about it.
When the Xu family's mother and daughter came to see her, she gave them face. Although she was the Queen Mother, the Xu family was not someone she could despise.
"My wife meets the Queen Mother."
"Your Majesty, please give your regards to the Queen Mother."
"No courtesy." Feng Wei raised her hand to ask them to get up: "Give me a seat."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
The mother and daughter slowly stood up and sat next to each other. Only then did Feng Wei notice Xu Wanyi. She must have seen Xu Wanyi, but she didn't pay much attention. Today, Xu Wanyi was wearing a blue satin peony skirt, which was more eye-catching than before.
few.
Speaking of things, Xu Wanyi is not a stunning beauty, but her facial features are well-proportioned and very majestic, giving people a calm and dignified feeling. Her figure is not petite, but she still has the slenderness that a daughter should have.
Every move she makes is well-behaved, and her upbringing from a scholarly family is clearly visible. This girl is not someone you will like at first sight, but the more you see her, the more you think she is good. Unfortunately... her fate is not good.
Mrs. Xu asked someone to give a gift: "A small thing is not disrespectful. I hope the Queen Mother will recover soon."
Feng Wei took a look. The centuries-old Shouwu and the high-quality inkstones were worthy of being from a scholarly family. Everything she gave them had the fragrance of paper and ink.
"Now that you are considerate, the Ai family has actually gotten better."
Mrs. Xu hurriedly said: "That's good. The Queen Mother must take care of herself."
Mrs. Xu and Empress Dowager Feng chatted politely. During this period, Mrs. Xu looked at her daughter twice, but Empress Dowager Feng's eyes never fell on Xu Wanyi, as if she deliberately avoided it. Apparently because of Xu Wanyi's reputation for being divorced, she did not want to mention it.
and.
It was obvious that the Queen Mother was still unaware of the Emperor's decision. Before the matter was settled, Mrs. Xu was now beginning to worry about her daughter's future life in the harem.
It is obvious that the Queen Mother likes Han Zhisu, but she is unwilling to mention Xu Wanyi. Such a contrast is really unsettling.
There was no emotion at first, and Mrs. Xu didn't stay long. She only stayed for two-quarters of an hour and then left.
After coming out, both mother and daughter were in heavy hearts. Mrs. Xu looked back and saw Xu Wanyi with her head lowered and dejected. She was obviously in a bad mood. If the emperor's proposal of marriage failed this time, then her life would really be over.
Mrs. Xu frowned and was filled with sadness, but it wasn't over yet and it was too early to say anything.
The two walked out of the palace along the avenue. They could not take the initiative to see the emperor, everything had to be arranged.
Sure enough, not long after walking, a young and stern guard stood at the intersection: "Mrs. Xu, Miss Xu, the emperor has invited you."
Instead of going to the Qianyuan Hall for an audience, I went to Liuxiantai. The sky was bright, the wind was light and the clouds were light. The scenery here was unique, and it dissipated a lot of the depression that I had just brought from the Empress Dowager.
Mrs. Xu took a deep breath, and her eyes had already caught sight of the young emperor standing there. She gathered herself and walked forward, knelt on her knees to salute: "My wife, I bow to your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, my maid, bows to the Emperor."
Zhao Zhuo had already turned around, and after the two of them saluted, he raised his hand to help: "Sit down."
The two stood up and took a look at the young emperor. Zhao Zhuo was one year younger than Xu Wanyi, but the young man was already taller and a head taller than Xu Wanyi. Moreover, he had been steady and steady since he was young. Although he was young, he had a lot of physical qualities. But he doesn't have the frivolity and youthfulness of a young man. Instead, he is very majestic and has the noble aura of an emperor.
Mrs. Xu did not dare to be disrespectful: "My wife brought her daughter to see the emperor. I wonder what the emperor wants to say?"
Zhao Zhuo looked at Xu Wanyi, who was older than him and not as good-looking as Han Zhisu, but not too bad and not petty: "Mrs. Xu, there is no need to be cautious. The Prime Minister should have told you that I just want to meet Miss Xu. I will meet you today." arrive......"
At this point, he paused: "I want to say a few words to Miss Xu. Lin Zheng will take Mrs. Xu to enjoy the flowers."
Lin Zheng stepped forward: "Mrs. Xu, please!"
Mrs. Xu looked at her daughter and could only obey her orders.
In the end, only Zhao Zhuo and Xu Wanyi were left. Zhao Zhuo suddenly reached out to Xu Wanyi: "Come here."
The emperor has orders, and he dare not disobey them.
Xu Wanyi nervously handed over her hand, but Zhao Zhuo grabbed it and immediately pulled her to his side.
"Xu Wanyi."
"My daughter is here."
Seeing her uncomfortable look, Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly: "Don't be so afraid, I don't eat people."
Xu Wanyi pursed her lips: "My daughter has never been so close to the emperor. If there is anything inappropriate, please forgive me."
"Why are you to blame?" Zhao Zhuo said: "I haven't finished what I just said. I asked the Prime Minister to bring you into the palace to see you. I saw you today. Miss Xu does have the demeanor of a queen of the country, but she is a little timid. Son."
Xu Wanyi looked at Zhao Zhuo in surprise. The demeanor of the queen of Yiguo... her?
"Your Majesty... I take it seriously... you..."
Xu Wanyi didn't believe that she was not as good as he said. Over the years, she had heard all kinds of insults and belittling words. They said that she was inferior to others in every way and that her life was too tough. No one had ever said that she was good, even if he was To praise her would be too much, making people unable to believe it.
