"You go to the Eighth Prince's Mansion to spread the word, just say that the emperor still has the Nine Emperors and the Nine Emperors and the Nine Emperors and Concubines to dine in my palace at noon today, and let the Eight Emperors also come to eat together." Seeing that Murong Xuanji agreed, Concubine Huangxian immediately asked people to pass the word.

"Imperial Concubine, it's rare for me to enter the palace, I heard that the flowers in the imperial garden are blooming, and I want to go to the imperial garden to see." Murong Xuanji didn't want to stay here, so he made an excuse.

"Well, let's go together. Qing'er, do you want to go to the Imperial Garden? Concubine Huangxian turned around and asked Yan Qing.

"No, no, you don't have to accompany me." Murong Xuanji refused before Yan Qing could speak, "I can't be idle, if I want to take a walk around the palace, you can stay in the palace and have a good chat, and I will be back at lunch." ”

"That's right." Concubine Huangxian thought for a while, and guessed in her heart that Murong Xuanji was deliberately making an excuse to leave, so she nodded and said, "That's okay, you just take a good walk in the palace, we are waiting for you here." ”

"Yes!" Murong Xuanji couldn't wait to get up and walk out of the house, and came to the Imperial Garden, looking at the bright flowers in her eyes, her mood was slightly better, and she finally didn't have to deal with it hypocritically.

Murong Xuanji inquired about it, and knew that Xuanyuan Hao was playing chess with the emperor in the emperor's study, and knew that he would not appear for a while, and he didn't know where to go, so he had to sit alone in the pavilion in the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers in a daze.

"Why are the Nine Emperor Princesses here alone?" However, after a long time, when Xuanyuan Jue entered the palace and passed by the imperial garden, he saw Murong Xuanji, hesitated for a moment and walked into the pavilion, "Shouldn't you be in my mother's palace?" What about the Nine Emperor Brothers? ”

"The husband accompanies his father to play chess in the study, and the imperial concubine has guests there, so I feel bored and come to the garden to enjoy the flowers." Murong Xuanji glanced at Xuanyuan Jue and replied slowly.

"There's a guest at the mother's place? What guests? Xuanyuan Jue asked with some curiosity.

Hearing Xuanyuan Jue's doubts, Murong Xuanji cheered up and looked at him, waved his hand and sent off the surrounding minions, only the two of them stayed in the pavilion.

"Does the Eighth Prince know the thoughts of the Imperial Concubine?" Murong Xuanji asked Xuanyuan Jue with a serious face, "What are you going to do?" ”

"I don't understand the meaning of the Nine Emperor Princesses' words?" Xuanyuan Jue looked at Murong Xuanji with a puzzled expression, "If the Nine Emperor Princesses have anything to say, you might as well say it directly." ”

"Okay, then I don't blame the outsiders." Murong Xuanji nodded and continued: "The Eighth Prince should know that the Imperial Concubine wants to marry a wife, and is also looking for a suitable candidate, is the Eighth Prince planning to follow the arrangement of the Imperial Concubine to get married?" ”

"I have rejected my mother, I will only marry the woman I love, and others are no longer in my consideration." Xuanyuan Jue said righteously.

Xuanyuan Jue's answer made Murong Xuanji very satisfied, but she still looked at Xuanyuan Jue with a serious face and asked, "What if the Imperial Concubine has to marry a woman you don't love?" ”

"This-" Xuanyuan Jue was speechless for a while, and after a long time, he said uncertainly: "I have never considered this problem, and my mother should not force me to do what I don't want to do." ”

"You've been saying you like Baoqing, so I'd love to see how much you like her." Murong Xuanji said meaningfully.

Since knowing Baoqing's intentions, although Murong Xuanji was worried, she still planned to support her and help her. But today, seeing the candidate for the eighth princess chosen by Huangxian Concubine for Xuanyuan Jue, Murong Xuanji wanted to know what Xuanyuan Jue would do. If he still chooses Baoqing as always, then Murong Xuanji will help him, but if he finally compromises, then there is no need to tell him Baoqing's feelings for him.

"Then you'll have to wait and see." Xuanyuan Jue looked at Murong Xuanji very confidently and said.

Looking at Xuanyuan Jue, who was swearing, Murong Xuanji finally showed a smile and said, "Let's go, we should go back, Concubine Huangxian should be waiting for us to have lunch." ”

When he returned to the palace of the imperial concubine, the emperor and Xuanyuan Hao had not yet come, and when Xuanyuan Jue saw Yan Qingzhong standing beside his mother, he couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart, and looked at Murong Xuanji, only to see that she didn't care about making a helpless move towards herself.

"How did you end up together?" Concubine Huangxian still had a little bump about guessing that Xuanyuan Jue and Murong Xuanji were together, but the two of them came back from outside together and blurted out a question.

"The Eighth Prince saw me when he was in the Imperial Garden, so we came over together." Murong Xuanji didn't know that Concubine Huangxian had any thoughts that she shouldn't have, so she explained calmly.

Concubine Huangxian nodded, looked at Xuanyuan Jue, and found that there was a faint displeasure on his face, and then looked at Yan Qing, who was shy on the side, and was a little hesitant whether to introduce the two to each other.

"You are the Eighth Prince, my father is Yan Song, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, my name is Yan Qing, I have always heard others mention you, it is Qing'er's luck to meet the Eighth Prince today." Yan Qing endured the shyness in her heart, took the initiative to break the somewhat dull deadlock, and introduced herself to Xuanyuan Jue generously.

"Yan Qing?" Xuanyuan Jue looked at her coldly, thinking about the self-introduction she had just introduced, and suddenly looked at Concubine Huangxian with some surprise as if she thought of something, and the surprise in her eyes slowly turned into displeasure and anger.

"It's okay for the Eighth Prince to call me Qing'er." Yan Qing didn't notice the change in Xuanyuan Jue's mood, and whispered shyly.

"So you are the candidate for the eighth princess chosen by my mother for me?" Xuanyuan Jue's tone was so cold that it could frostbite people, and when he saw Yan Qing's surprised gaze, he continued to say cruel words: "Then did my mother tell you my thoughts, I don't like to marry any Eighth Emperor Princess, let alone marry a woman I don't love." ”

"Xuanyuan Jue!" Concubine Huangxian didn't expect Xuanyuan Jue to say such hurtful and embarrassing words, so she shouted angrily, seeing Yan Qing standing aside silently crying because of Xuanyuan Jue's words, she was even more angry with Xuanyuan Jue.

Xuanyuan Jue also looked at the angry Imperial Concubine with displeasure, and said coldly: "If the mother concubine is sincere and comes to call the son to dinner, the son is happy, if the mother has other plans, it is better to be exempt, the son of the minister has already made it very clear before, so don't waste the heart of the girl." ”

"Xuanyuan Jue, are you trying to me off?" Concubine Huangxian didn't care about the presence of outsiders, and asked Xuanyuan Jue angrily, "That's right, Qing'er is the candidate I chose for the Eighth Imperial Princess, the girl has appearance, knowledge, talent, and family background, is she not worthy of you like that?" ”

"Even if she is good at everything, it's a pity that it's useless if it's not what I like." Xuanyuan Jue didn't want to refute the imperial concubine.

Murong Xuanji didn't expect Xuanyuan Jue's reaction to be so excited, and when she saw that the situation had become a little imminent, she immediately stood up to stop it.

"Imperial Concubine, you calm your anger first, I don't think the Eighth Prince intended to collide with you." Murong Xuanji first calmed the emotions of the Imperial Concubine, and then grabbed the Eighth Emperor and said, "My father and the Nine Emperors have been playing chess for a while, and it's almost time for lunch, so please let the Eighth Emperor accompany me to my father's place." Murong Xuanji didn't wait for Concubine Huangxian and Xuanyuan Jue to speak, and forcefully pulled Xuanyuan Jue out of Concubine Huangxian's palace.

"Why don't you let me make it clear?" Xuanyuan Jue shook off Murong Xuanji's hand and looked at her angrily, "Did you already know that there was such a woman in the palace of the concubine?" ”

"I only found out when I came to find the Imperial Concubine." Murong Xuanji didn't get angry because of Xuanyuan Jue's unkind tone, but looked at her calmly and said, "To be honest, I don't like that Yan Qing girl very much, but after all, she is a girl, and she was rejected by you in person, how do you make your family lose face?" ”

"That's not something I should worry about, if she still has some self-esteem, she should retreat." Xuanyuan Jue took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and said indifferently: "Since I calmly refused with my mother, and she couldn't listen, then I can only do this." ”

"Are you refusing for the sake of Baoqing or for yourself." Murong Xuanji looked at Xuanyuan Jue calmly and asked, "If you haven't liked Baoqing until now, no, I should say that you haven't liked any woman, then will you try to have a relationship with the person you like for Concubine Huangxian?" ”

"That's if I can't answer you." Xuanyuan Jue thought very seriously and replied, "The current situation is that I like Baoqing, so I can no longer accept women other than Baoqing, so I don't have any feelings for the woman just now." ”

Murong Xuan Xuanji nodded understandingly, hesitated for a moment before speaking: "You really prove to me that you like Baoqing, and it is not in vain that Baoqing also has feelings for you." ”

"What do you say? Are you saying that Baoqing likes me too? Xuanyuan Jue reacted in hindsight, looked at Murong Xuanji with some incredulity and asked, "Is what you said true?" ”

Murong Xuanji nodded affirmatively, and no longer hid it from him, "I asked Baoqing what he meant before. Although Baoqing also has a good impression of you, she also knows the differences between you, so she hides her feelings well. ”

Xuanyuan Jue couldn't listen to the latter words at all, only heard Murong Xuanji say that Baoqing also liked herself, and Xuanyuan Jue felt that she was about to fly into the sky with happiness.

"Where's Baoqing? Why didn't Baoqing follow you into the palace today? At this time, Xuanyuan Jue couldn't wait to see Baoqing and wanted to hug her tightly.

Seeing Xuanyuan Jue's ecstatic appearance, Murong Xuanji didn't know whether he should be happy or worried, and saw the emperor and Xuanyuan Hao walking towards here from afar, so he reminded him in a low voice and said: "Father, you are here, you still have to go back to face your mother and that Miss Yan later, put away your emotions, even if it is for the sake of Baoqing." You don't want your mother to hate a girl she doesn't know yet. ”
