Xie Xunfeng saw that Xiao Shentian suddenly mentioned the third princess just now.
He knew that he was not holding anything back.
Follow Eunuch Chang.
But as I walked, I noticed something looked familiar.
Xie Xunfeng said to Eunuch Chang, "Eunuch Chang, where are we going? Isn't this the way to the Ancestral Temple? Didn't you say you want to see the emperor?"
Eunuch Chang turned back to Xie Xunfeng and said with a slight glance, "Xie Zhizi is a smart man, couldn't you guess it?"
"Is the emperor at the Ancestral Temple?" Xie Xunfeng asked.
Eunuch Chang smiled and nodded.
Arriving at the entrance of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, this time Eunuch Chang led them directly and unimpededly into the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
When I walked to the door of a small room in the Ancestral Temple, I heard the laughter of an old lady and the emperor's voice.
Eunuch Chang knocked on the door gently, and then whispered, "Queen Mother, Your Majesty, Xie Zhizi is here."
Xiao Shentian's hearty laughter was heard in the room and he said, "Mother, we just talked about him, and he is here!"
Then a kind voice came from the room and said, "Let him come in."
Xie Xunfeng walked in.
At a glance, Xiao Yiran stood behind the Queen Mother with a reddish complexion and a smile on his face.
After seeing Xie Xunfeng come in, and after their eyes met, the blush on his face became even more intense.
The Queen Mother was dressed very simply and elegantly, and her face looked a bit Buddha-like.
Xie Xunfeng was very good at judging people. This Queen Mother should be a good person.
"Xie Xunfeng, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to pretend to be stupid. Why don't you be polite when you see the Queen Mother?" Xiao Shentian saw Xie Xunfeng in a daze and said.
Xie Xunfeng also bowed and said, "I have met the Queen Mother!"
The Queen Mother looked at Xie Xunfeng, smiled slightly, and then said, "No need to be polite, just sit down."
Xie Xunfeng was not polite and just sat down.
The Queen Mother looked at Xie Xunfeng for a few times, and then said, "Yes, yes, he is a talented person. Before, the Ai family was worried. Now that I have left it to you, the Ai family can rest assured."
"The Queen Mother means...can you let Yi Yi marry me?" Xie Xunfeng asked anxiously.
Xiao Shentian said to Xie Xunfeng, "What good things do you want? What you promised me has not been completed yet..."
The Queen Mother smiled slightly and said, "Xie Zhizi, it's not that the Ai family is unwilling to marry Yi Yi to you. You should be very clear that the current situation in Daxia is complicated and undercurrent! You have offended the Queen family again!"
"The Ai family heard that you have some strength and some brains. But, ask yourself, are you really capable of marrying Yiran now and protecting her? Although you are the eldest son of Dazhou, but in
There is no one to rely on in Dazhou, and the people in Dazhou wish you could die in Daxia. Now, you have no one to rely on in Daxia. They don’t really want to target you yet, so you can still rely on your own bravery.
Are you going to protect Yiran?"
Before Xie Xunfeng could speak, the Queen Mother continued, "Don't say you can... The Ai family doesn't believe it. Even if you really have a way to protect Yi Yi, you still have to live in fear... The Ai family believes that you
I don’t want this either.”
Listening to the Queen Mother's logical words, Xie Xunfeng immediately understood that she was in the main hall today.
It's not Xiao Shentian's enlightenment.
But Xiao Shentian has a military advisor.
"Queen Mother, you are right! I don't have the strength now, so I have to protect you. Queen Mother, you must have something you want me to do." Xie Xunfeng also agreed truthfully.
After all, this is indeed true.
Even in his previous life, he was a man who stood at the top of the world.
But I came to this strange world.
He really has nothing.
No one will be afraid of him.
Even the physical strength of this body is far from being a match in that world.
With his current body, he is confident that he can fight one against a hundred.
but
The opponent is one thousand, what about ten thousand?
He has no confidence.
The Queen Mother was quite satisfied with Xie Xunfeng's answer and said, "Yes, the Ai family has heard about the cooperation between you and the Holy Spirit. So we are considered our own... The Ai family will not make any detours with you anymore."
, didn’t I ask the emperor to ask the princes to come up with ways to raise money when I’m in the palace today?”
"The eldest prince has the help of Wu Guozhang, and even the help of the Yuan family in Jiaodong."
"The other princes have their princes helping behind them! Only the fourth prince is helpless, so the Ai family wants you to help the fourth prince."
What the Queen Mother said was straightforward.
After hearing this, Xie Xunfeng was a little dumbfounded and said, "Queen Mother, why do you think I have the ability to help the fourth prince... And the amount raised this time is a million taels of gold... This is not an easy task! You seem to think too highly of me.
Already."
The Queen Mother smiled lightly and said, "If you can't even solve this problem, then the Ai family has really misjudged you!"
Xiao Shentian fanned the flames and said, "In my opinion, that's true. Didn't they say that you spent more than 20,000 taels of gold just to make a girl smile in Huamanlou? It shows that you must have a way to make money... Now
I asked you to help me find a way to raise one million taels of gold, but you just shirk it like this. In my opinion, you don’t really want to marry Yiran..."
When Xie Xunfeng saw Xiao Shentian talking about Huamanlou, he subconsciously looked at Xiao Yiran, and her expression was indeed not so natural.
"Yiran, don't listen to His Majesty's nonsense. I went to Huamanlou to help His Majesty investigate the case! I didn't do anything." Xie Xunfeng explained quickly.
Seeing Xie Xunfeng's explanation, Xiao Yiran's face turned slightly red again.
"Why the fourth prince? Queen Mother, if you want to find a backer for me, the fourth prince should not be the backer I want!" Xie Xunfeng asked the queen mother.
The Queen Mother smiled slightly and said, "What if we want to support him to become the future prince?"
