"Did you really not see it?" Xiao Mubei asked again without giving up.
King Qi became angry. He glared at Xiao Mubei and said, "What do you mean? Are you questioning me?"
"My lord, why do you think so? I just felt it was a pity, so I just asked more questions! Mainly, it's so strange that the deer was missing. You said it had no hands. How did it pull out the arrow from its neck?"
Out?" Xiao Mubei looked at King Qi with a puzzled face and asked again.
"How do I know this!" King Qi glared at Xiao Mubei, his white teeth clenching loudly.
"Oh, it turns out that you don't know, Your Highness!" Xiao Mubei suddenly realized it. He sighed, and then said to Lu Zhan with a guilty look on his face, "Lu Er, it's okay. I'll go look for that deer in the forest later."
It was seriously injured and fell in a designated corner. Anyway, I will definitely get it back!"
"Okay!" Lu Zhan responded with a faint smile.
Seeing that Xiao Mubei didn't ask any more questions, King Qi let out a long sigh of relief. He pursed his lips and was about to raise his head to pretend that nothing had happened. But he suddenly encountered a cold gaze, and the owner of that gaze
Surprisingly, he is his father.
King Qi's face froze, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice unconsciously. Just when he was at a loss, Emperor Zhengxuan indifferently averted his eyes.
"Okay! I will have a banquet in the hunting palace tonight to celebrate your victory in today's autumn hunting!" Emperor Zhengxuan smiled and patted Lu Zhan on the shoulder.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lu Zhan hurriedly took two steps back, smiled and saluted Emperor Zhengxuan again.
"Father, it's really a happy event for A-Zhan to win the first prize in this Autumn Hunting. How about you make him even happier?" Princess Ning'an also stood up with a smile at this time.
Emperor Zhengxuan chuckled. He seemed to be looking at Princess Ning'an, but in fact he was looking at Xiao Muqing and Xie Wu from the corner of his eyes behind her.
"Father, what do you think?" Seeing Emperor Zhengxuan smiling and saying nothing, Princess Ning'an raised her eyebrows and asked again with a smile.
Emperor Zhengxuan raised his eyebrows and smiled. Then, he turned around and sat back on the royal seat. After sitting down, he looked at Princess Ning'an again and said, "Well, Ning'an, how do you want to add to your happiness?"
"I would like to ask my father to grant a marriage to A-Zhan." Princess Ning'an raised her eyebrows and said.
"Mother." Lu Zhan looked at Princess Ning'an in shock.
Xie Wu's hands in her sleeves tightened unconsciously, but there was no sign of any strangeness on her face.
"Ah Wu, isn't that guy Lu Zhan trying to take this opportunity to force a marriage?" Xiao Muqing quietly leaned towards Xie Wu and whispered to her through gritted teeth.
Xie Wu pursed her lips slightly, and then her long eyelashes drooped.
Looking at Xie Wu's cold and quiet profile, Xiao Muqing pursed his lips and stopped talking.
She doesn't like Lu Zhan, but if Ah Wu does...
Then she could only convince herself to accept it.
Seeing the delicate atmosphere between Princess Ning'an and Lu Zhan, Emperor Zhengxuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and chuckled. He said, "It seems that you already have someone in mind for Ning'an..."
"yes."
"Oh, who is that person?" Emperor Zhengxuan said with a smile.
Princess Ning'an smiled slightly, then waved to Xiao Muqing and said, "Aqing, come here."
Xiao Muqing was stunned for a moment. She blinked and felt a little dazed for a moment.
"Sister, hurry up! The princess is calling you!" Seeing his sister dumbfounded, Xiao Mubei quickly winked at her and shouted.
"Princess, you, you called me?" Xiao Muqing pointed at the tip of her nose, still a little unbelievable.
Doesn’t that guy Lu Zhan like Ah Wu?
Xiao Muqing looked at Lu Zhan with some confusion.
Lu Zhan glanced at her gloomily, and then turned his face away in disgust.
This bastard!
"Come here quickly." Princess Ning'an smiled and waved to Xiao Muqing again.
Xiao Muqing stiffly twitched the corners of her lips. Although she was confused, she had to move to Princess Ning'an and said, "Princess..."
"Father, Princess Zhennan has a heroic appearance and is the most suitable for A Zhan! Please ask father to make the decision and grant a marriage for them two!" Princess Ning'an took Xiao Muqing's hand and looked at Emperor Ning Zhengxuan with a smile.
"Princess……"
"Mother……"
Two voices sounded at the same time.
Xiao Muqing wanted to say something, but Princess Ning'an took her hand and suddenly squeezed it hard. Her eyes flashed for a moment, and then she lowered her head and stopped humming.
Before she came out this morning, her mother seemed to have told her to calm down, and she said something else afterwards...
At this moment, Princess Xiao suddenly regretted that she had run too fast in the morning.
Lu Zhan looked at Princess Ning'an, his eyebrows almost twisted into a knot. However, Princess Ning'an was not moved at all. She even didn't even look at him.
"Father, please grant me your permission." Princess Ning'an looked at Emperor Zhengxuan and said in a clear voice.
Looking at Princess Ning'an's sparkling eyes, Emperor Zhengxuan couldn't help but slightly twitching the corners of his lips, "Ning'an, you have taken a fancy to the girl from Zhennan Palace, what about Zhennan Palace? They also like it.
Is it Zhong A Zhan?”
"Father, don't worry about this. I already had an affair with Princess Zhennan last night. Both of our families are interested in getting married." It seemed that Emperor Zhengxuan had already expected this question, so Princess Ning'an asked without any hesitation.
After answering his question, as if she was afraid that Emperor Zhengxuan wouldn't believe it, Princess Ning'an paused slightly, and then continued, "If your father doesn't believe it, you can send Princess Xuan to her and ask her."
Seeing Ning An's appearance of winning, Emperor Zhengxuan chuckled at her, and then he turned his attention to Lu Zhan next to him, "A Zhan, what do you say?"
"Grandfather, grandson..."
"Since ancient times, marriage has been the order of the parents and the matchmaker. When will it be the children's turn to make the decision?" Princess Ning'an directly decided what Lu Zhan said.
Lu Zhan turned to look at Princess Ning'an. The corners of his lips moved again and again, but in the end he said nothing.
Princess Ning'an chuckled lightly, and then a coldness gradually gathered in her eyes. She raised her eyebrows slightly towards Emperor Zhengxuan, and said with a sarcastic tone, "Father, this is what you said to your son in person back then."
Do you remember what I said?"
Seeing the sarcastic smile on Princess Ning'an's lips, Emperor Zhengxuan's pupils shrank suddenly, and all the memories he had long forgotten suddenly came back to him.
He remembered it!
He did say this to Ning An. When Ning An timidly told him that her sweetheart was Xiao Ting, he said it to her with such a cold face!
At that time, the situation in the court was complicated, and Duke Zhenguo and Xiao Qian were ready to make a move. At this time, he absolutely could not let Ning'an, who had the blood of Duke Zhenguo and was the sister of Xiao Qian's mother, marry the then crown prince of Zhennan.
!Isn’t this adding another arm to Zhen Guogong and Xiao Qian!
Therefore, he rejected Ning An without mercy, and then quickly arranged a marriage for Xiao Ting, who is now Princess Zhennan.
He vaguely remembered that Ning An seemed to be seriously ill, but soon, Duke Dingguo's mansion came to propose marriage. At that time, Duke Dingguo's wife was seriously ill, and Duke Dingguo's mansion had always been at odds with Duke Zhenguo's mansion.
Therefore, he immediately agreed to the marriage. At that time, Ning An did not object, and she quietly married into the Dingguo Palace.
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years have passed, and this past has long been completely forgotten by him. However, with Ning An's words, he suddenly thought of it again.
"So, please ask your father to confer a marriage between A Zhan and Princess Zhennan!" Ning An looked at Emperor Zhengxuan, and his cold voice sounded again.
Emperor Zhengxuan's eyes moved.
In recent years, although Duke Dingguo has long been away from worldly affairs, and all matters of Duke Dingguo's residence have been handed over to his son, the crown prince of Dingguo, but even so, the prestige of the Wei Dynasty in Duke Dingguo's mansion cannot be doubted, especially with him.
After the fall of the Duke of Zhen, he has a tendency to dominate the family!
Not to mention the Zhennan Palace. As the only kings with different surnames in the Wei Dynasty, they guarded Yunnan for generations, and the 100,000 southern Yunnan troops in their hands were even more powerful.
Back then, it was because of this that he disagreed with Ning An and Xiao Ting's marriage.
This was also the reason why he kept Xiao Mubei in the capital.
He has never been worried about King Zhennan.
Over the years, he has sent so many royal guards to Yunnan. All the news that came back said that the relationship between King Zhennan and Princess Zhennan was very good and there was no change. Except for the annual holidays or Xiao Mubei's birthday, Princess Zhennan
Apart from arranging for people to send gifts to Zhennan Palace in the capital, they have almost no contact with people in the capital...
But now, these two families suddenly came to him and told him that they were getting married!
The most prestigious official in the Wei Kingdom, and a prince with a different surname who controls a hundred thousand Yunnan troops in the southern border. Will the marriage between their two families be just a simple marriage?
He doesn't believe it!
He didn't believe a word of it!
Especially Ning'an!
Almost twenty years have passed, but the look she looked at herself was still full of resentment!
She still resented that incident in her heart. How could she just fall in love with Xiao Muqing? Could she be trying to use Xiao Ting for something?
Thinking of this, Emperor Zhengxuan's eyes instantly turned cold when he looked at Ning An!
"What if I don't agree?" Emperor Zhengxuan looked at Princess Ning'an coldly and said.
Princess Ning'an's expression was fierce, she raised her beautiful eyebrows, stared into Emperor Zhengxuan's eyes without fear, and said, "Azhan is my son, and I will naturally decide on his marriage! I am here today just to inform my father.
Say, it would be better if Father can grant me a marriage, but if not... Father, although you are the emperor, there is no reason for you to stop me from marrying a good wife for my son!"
Emperor Zhengxuan's eyes narrowed, and his hand on the imperial chair suddenly became a little stronger.
She is right! Even if he is an emperor, he cannot easily prevent others from getting married unless he has a very good reason, and obviously, his reasons cannot be explained at all...
Especially when Ning An doesn't care about his taboos at all!
"I really have no reason to stop you. After all, you are A-Zhan's mother. It's just... A-Zhan just came to me a while ago and told me that he likes the girl from Wu'an Houfu's family! Well, it's the one behind you!" Emperor Zhengxuan
He raised his chin slightly, and his gloomy eyes suddenly looked past Princess Ning'an and towards Xie Wu behind her.
