"I know." Tong Huaan said in a sullen voice, "You are still innocent."
Xuan Jinyan quickly raised her head and looked at Tong Huaan in astonishment. No wonder, when she woke up in the morning, her clothes were messy, but she didn't remember what happened. She only remembered that she had been poisoned by charm, as if she had drunk too much.
, talked a lot, and seemed to see Brother Dazhu.
"I didn't do anything." Tong Huaan said helplessly.
Xuan Jinyan whispered angrily: "But, my clothes -"
"I just drank too much." Tong Huaan's face was a little red. This was not a good reason, and he was not confident enough to say it. "But, I didn't do anything else."
Xuan Jin's face showed disgust, and he blurted out: "Brother Dazhu never gets drunk, and he never smells of alcohol all over his body."
"Xuan Jinyan!——" Tong Huaan roared angrily. Just as he was about to speak, he heard footsteps outside the door and immediately closed his mouth.
As soon as Aying walked to the door, she was startled by Tong Huaan's stern roar in the room. She immediately stepped harder to remind herself that she was here, knocked on the door, and said in a loud voice: "Master, Madam, the porridge is ready."
."
"I won't eat it!" Tong Huaan said angrily.
Xuan Jinyan glared at him, raised her voice disdainfully and said, "Come in."
Ah Ying smiled bitterly, what kind of show are these young couples doing?! Thinking, she kept a calm expression and pushed the door in. The food box in her hand was placed on the table, with the faint aroma of porridge and rice.
"Is my brother gone?" Xuan Jinyan frowned, looking at Aying who was setting out porridge and rice, and asked uncertainly.
"No, I heard that it is a happy event for the master and his wife to let him have dinner here. Mr. Xuan asked his mother to propose marriage to the master and his wife, hoping to marry Miss Xiaoye in five years." Aying said with a smile, "The master and his wife have already
Accepted."
Tong Hua'an and Xuan Jinyan's expressions simultaneously became shocked and angry.
"Xiaoye can't marry him." Tong Huaan said angrily.
Xuan Jinyan's heart also skipped a beat, and when she thought about living under her brother's gaze in five years, she immediately felt chills on the back of her head. However, when she heard Tong Huaan's direct objection, she felt a little annoyed and immediately said: "Why not?"
?In what way is my brother not worthy of your sister?!"
Tong Huaan was stunned, staring at Xuan Jinyan with a questioning face, hesitated, and said nothing.
When Aying saw that the atmosphere was not right, she put the porridge and rice on the table and immediately left quietly. She did not dare to wait at the door, so she closed the door and left quietly, walking farther and farther away.
Listening to Aying's footsteps walking away, Tong Huaan said bitterly: "Your brother is a despicable person. He didn't propose marriage because he liked Xiaoye. He just wanted to control me. He said that if I treat you
If there is anything wrong in the slightest, he will definitely take double revenge on Xiaoye!"
Xuan Jinyan didn't answer, but her expression was a little sad.
"Your brother said that the slave is at the border now." After a while, Tong Huaan said coldly, "I don't know what your brother's skills are. To be so tolerant to a slave, okay, anyway, between us
There is no deep love that cannot be separated. I am going to the border to see what kind of person it is that makes you willing to betray our engagement and elope with him!"
Xuan Jinyan was stunned and looked at Tong Huaan blankly.
After the morning court, the emperor asked his close father-in-law Xi to announce that Tong Huaan would see him. Tong Huaan was an official who was sent abroad and was supposed to take up his post. However, due to Xuan Jinyan's accident, he was delayed for several days. Today, he went to court to see a memorial.
It was Tong Hua'an who presented the memorial and read it, but he has yet to make a decision.
Tong Hua'an followed Eunuch Xi to the back garden. The emperor didn't like discussing state affairs with ministers in the imperial study. He didn't like reading, but preferred drinking and admiring flowers.
"I am here to see the Emperor." Tong Huaan knelt down and saluted.
"Get up, someone, come and prepare a seat for Tong Aiqing." The emperor said kindly.
Tong Huaan thanked him and sat down on the chair, not daring to raise his head to look at the emperor. Although he was the emperor's chosen number one scholar, he did not have many opportunities to talk face to face with the emperor.
"I heard that Xuan Aiqing went to General Tong's Mansion yesterday to propose marriage. Is it true that she wants to marry Miss Xiaoye in five years?" The emperor asked casually, but looked at Tong Hua'an sharply.
Although Tong Huaan did not raise his head, he vaguely sensed the probing look in the emperor's eyes, and answered carefully: "Well, it's really hard to say for me, I. In fact, I thought it was my intention, and this matter is inappropriate. It's just that Xuan Jinmo is Weichen's wife."
My brother, it’s hard for me to talk too much."
The emperor slowly drank the wine and smelled the fragrance of flowers in the wind. He seemed to be in a good mood. He smiled slightly and said slowly: "What's wrong? Xuan Aiqing is my valued minister. Miss Xiaoye is also a queen of a famous family with a beautiful face.
She has a good temperament and looks like a talented man, and I think she looks great."
Tong Hua'an thought about the emperor's intention and did not dare to say anything else. One thing is certain, that is, the emperor did not like the close relationship between his ministers. He married Xuan Jinyan, and Xuan Jinmo married Tong Xiaoye. The two families of Xuan and Tong
The relationship will make the emperor uneasy.
The emperor was naturally displeased by the combination of civil and military affairs.
"Xiaoye is still young, and it is too early to talk about marriage at this time." Tong Huaan simply replied, "There are many better people than Xuan Jinmo in the world. Xiaoye may not enter the same school as Wei Chen. Jin
Yan is Xiaoye's sister-in-law, she is already very good, there is no need to kiss her more."
The emperor smiled slightly and seemed very satisfied.
"Oh, it's just a step late. Originally, I wanted to tell Miss Xiaoye about my son. I also like Miss Xiaoye's cleverness and cuteness." The emperor said lightly, "Tong Aiqing, why did you ask to go to the border on the occasion of your wedding?
?”
Tong Huaan had already thought of the answer and immediately said respectfully: "Wei Chen is a martial artist. Although the emperor cherishes his grandfather and allows him to live a leisurely life, but nowadays, there are frequent border wars. Not only do we have to deal with the increasingly powerful
In the Daxing Dynasty, there are still some foreign races that have been ready to make a move, and they are unwilling to serve the country, so they want to go to the border to contribute to the country. The wife of the minister, Jin Yan, also agrees very much. She also believes that men should serve the country while they are young, and they should not just serve the country.
Live on with the honor of our ancestors.”
The emperor smiled, coughed twice, took a sip of wine to suppress the cough, and said slowly: "Very good, in fact, the border is also my hidden worry. If Tong Aiqing can share my worries, I will naturally be very happy.
.Where do you want to go?”
"If the emperor allows it, I would like to go to the border where brothers Xuan Jinxiu and Xuan Jincheng are." Tong Huaan raised his head slightly and said with respect, "Princess Tianxiang is about to leave her period of filial piety, and Princess Tianxiang cannot be allowed to serve the country alone.
If you work hard and waste your precious time, you should be a man who serves as your servant."
The emperor was not surprised when he knew that the Tong family knew that Princess Tianxiang was engaged to one of the twins from the Xuan family. He just nodded slightly and said "Hmm."
