When the emperor slowly approached the Baoding Hall from outside, all the officials stood up to greet him and bowed. They saw that not only King Heng but also a girl's family was following behind him, and they were all confused. Ling Deyan was also surprised to see his daughter actually following the emperor's hall.
Qingxi caught sight of her father among the crowd and looked straight at him, thinking that her father might be just as confused as she was at this moment. The emperor was unexpectedly concerned about her marriage in Yuyue Pavilion, and then
He also ordered him to follow him to participate in the Qing Poetry Meeting. But Xiao Yizheng stood aside and didn't say a word.
As she walked along, she only felt that she was afraid that she not only got into big trouble last night, but also got into trouble with people she shouldn't have got into trouble one after another. But she really didn't do anything extraordinary! Well, if she had
What was extraordinary was that she refused His Majesty the Emperor's marriage offer in person. Speaking of the marriage grant, she thought of Zeng Qidao, so she scanned the crowd, but could not find him.
The emperor suddenly slowed down, turned around and glanced at her. When he saw her looking around, he stopped, leaned down slightly, and said softly: "Wait a minute, listen carefully to whose voice is yours in this hall."
I heard it last night!" After saying that, he stepped over the high threshold and strode towards his seat.
Qingxi felt cold all over her body in an instant, her heartbeat accelerated violently, and her face turned pale uncontrollably. The right leg she had just stepped out was so weak that she was about to trip over the threshold and fall to the ground. She was not thinking about the emperor for the time being.
The destructive power of these words to himself and the Ling family, if he fell straight down like this now, he would lose the Ling family's face in front of everyone.
She closed her eyes, preparing to face the pain that could be imagined, but an unexpected warm force suddenly appeared in her waist, which quickly took her away from the ground in front of her. She felt that the hands on her waist were firm and strong,
It seems that my heartbeat is gradually calming down because of this stability.
She was hugged and stood still, smelling a faint fresh smell like grass. When she raised her eyes, Xiao Yizheng's eyebrows were right in front of her, just like last night, and the deep inquiry in his eyes was also the same as last night.
Qingxi blinked twice and realized that the posture of the two of them at this moment was very inappropriate. His hands were around her waist, and her face was leaning on his chest. This posture made her heart beat faster again.
Looking around again, there were so many pairs of eyes in the hall staring directly at them. Her face suddenly turned crimson, from her neck to her earlobes, and she quickly pushed Xiao Yizheng away with both hands.
Xiao Yizheng calmly withdrew his hand, bowed deeply, and said loudly: "I am rude, please forgive me."
Qingxi quickly returned the gift: "My daughter was distracted and did not see the path clearly. Thank you His Highness King Heng for your help."
I don't know which adult said: "Your Highness is very skilled." Everyone who was staring at the two people began to agree.
The emperor standing not far away looked at them quietly and ordered: "Everyone, please take a seat."
So everyone dispersed.
Xiao Yizheng also strode towards his seat. Qingxi wanted to follow him and tell him what the emperor had just said to her. The emperor said those words very softly, and maybe only she heard it. But not herself.
I can't keep up with his pace at all. Even in this situation, it's not convenient for me to say a word to him.
She was worried when she heard the emperor's instructions: "Master Ling, my wife is very smart and intelligent. Since I asked you to bring your family to Baoding Mountain, I can't let her miss this Qing Poetry Recital. Let her sit down."
Look at all these talented people competing for popularity next to you."
Ling Deyan quickly bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, you are so complimentary. I thank you for your grace."
Everyone else in the hall communicated with their eyes, wondering whether the emperor's unruly arrangement had any other meaning.
Xiao Yihe, who was sitting in the second seat, took a deep look at Xiao Yizheng, who was already sitting beside him, and said in a low voice: "Sixth brother, haven't you seen your father's intentions?"
"I know."
"You didn't have to take action." Xiao Yihe said gently.
"Third brother, I will take action against anyone."
Xiao Yihe smiled slightly, "Actually, I also want to know why it is her."
Xiao Yizheng frowned and didn't reply. He turned to look at Ling Qingxi who was already sitting next to Ling Deyan. At this time, she seemed very well-behaved, sitting so respectfully. Ling Deyan on the side looked serious, as if he was trying to teach her a lesson.
What? There was fear on her face. It turned out that this girl could not hide her fear.
He didn't know what his father talked about with her in Yuyue Pavilion, but when he saw her kneeling straight in front of his father, there was no fear on her face. Why did his father choose her? Should he?
