The eunuch also read the saint's good impression of the Xiao family, so he put on a slightly flattering smile: "Congratulations to Prime Minister Xiao, congratulations to Prime Minister Xiao, now he is not only a very popular minister, but also has an in-law with the royal family, congratulations!" ”

Xiao Man had long known that this day would come, he didn't like the Xue family from the bottom of his heart, but because the Xue family had a queen mother and a queen, although he said that the two of them were equal, but after adding these relationships, Xue Youcheng suppressed Xiao Man, and now he has the opportunity to borrow his daughter to increase his value a little, Xiao Man feels that it is also worth it.

This holy decree smashed on Xiao Wanyao's head like a bucket of ice, which couldn't help but make her head bleed, and it also made her cold from head to foot.

Hasn't she already escaped the draft!? Didn't she already make a marriage contract with Xue Tianao!? What's going on with this decree now??

Xiao Wanyao couldn't help crying when she looked at the ground, it's messy, it's all messy!!

The eunuch froze his smile, looked at Xiao Wanyao, who was kneeling on the ground and crying silently, and couldn't help but ask Xiao Man: "Miss Xiao, what's wrong?" Crying like this!? ”

Xiao Man hurriedly took out a gold ingot from his arms and stuffed it into the hand of the eunuch Xuanzhi: "Father-in-law should understand that happiness comes too suddenly, cry with joy, cry with joy......"

The eunuch squinted at the gold in his hand, and said with a smile on his lips: "Prime Minister Xiao Cheng is right, it's just human nature. The slave will go back to his life, you take the holy decree, and the Holy Lord of Ming'er will send someone to Xiao Mansion to pick up Miss Xiao Er into the palace. ”

Xiao Man sent away the eunuch and dismissed the other family members, leaving only Xiao Wanyao and Xiao Man in the house.

"Wan Yao......" Xiao Man had long known that there would be such a day, but he still pretended to be sad, walked up to Xiao Wanyao, helped her up, and let her sit on the chair.

Xiao Wanyao burst into tears, she couldn't cry at this time, she hoped that it was still a dream at the moment, and when she woke up from the dream, she could happily prepare for the wedding and wait for her freedom.

But it seems that God played a joke on her, giving her a chance to start over when she was desperate, and when she thought she could plan her life, history repeated itself in front of her again.

"Some things are like this, you can't be the Lord, and you can't be the Lord as a Father." Xiao Man sat beside her and whispered.

Xiao Wanyao lowered her head and wept, unable to say a word.

"It's fate." Xiao Man sighed deeply.

Xiao Wanyao's body trembled slightly, she looked up at Xiao Man with tears on her face, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Dad, I want to know, the draft has obviously passed, why does he still make such a will!?" Doesn't he know that Xue Tianao and I already have a marriage contract!? ”

Xiao Man's face was expressionless, and he hesitated for a moment to tell the truth: "I won't tell you, the emperor is domineering by nature, and he will never give up lightly on what he likes, don't say that Wanyao You have a marriage contract, even if you are already a wife, the emperor will not hesitate if he takes a fancy to you." ”

Xiao Wanyao smiled bitterly: "Father, is Wanyao an item?" Can he come and go? Wan Yao is a human being and has her own feelings, how can she let his likes and dislikes change her life!? ”

Xiao Man frowned: "There is only one way in front of you now, and that is to enter the palace." ”

Xiao Wanyao was at a loss, and said quietly: "I don't enter the palace, it's an ice cave with no return, I don't want to get involved in that endless strife, Dad, it's too tiring to live like that, step by step, I want to catch Jun En, but Jun En is like flowing water, I can't catch it at all...... Dad, my daughter doesn't want to live like this for the rest of her life......"

"Do you think Daddy wants you to be like this!?" Xiao Man said sadly, "Since you have already chosen the Xue family for you, how can you have the reason to change the hexagram on the way, Wan Yao, the reason is that it is still your own sin, no wonder others." ”

Xiao Wanyao's eyes widened with tears, and she asked, "Dad, what do you mean!?" Why doesn't Wan Yao understand? Why did I create it!? ”

"Ugh." Xiao Man patted the case table regretfully, and said: "On the day of the opening of the Bowen Pavilion, I considered that you were not suitable to show up in front of someone to be married, so as long as your sister Xiao Wanrou went, you were good, not only uninvited, but also out of the limelight...... Wan Yao, it's not always a good thing to be in the limelight, for example, you were favored by the saint this time. ”

Xiao Wanyao recalled the scene of that day, she had never seen Tang Siqi, so why was he favored her!?

Looking at Xiao Wanyao's blank eyes, Xiao Man felt the need to let her know, so he said: "Wanyao, you won't forget the jade-faced man who insisted on playing chess with you on stage that day, right!?" ”

Xiao Man's words made Xiao Wanyao like a lightning strike, and her eyes widened and she sat down on the chair.

That's right, it's him! That figure was Tang Siqi, but why didn't he remember it at that time? She is so familiar with him, why can't she remember!?

Xiao Wanyao didn't look at it, her head leaned on the back of the chair, her heart was mixed, no wonder she dreamed of Tang Siqi last night, it turned out that even if she couldn't remember his appearance, she still didn't forget him subconsciously in her heart, Xiao Wanyao rubbed her sore temples, she wanted to cry loudly but was powerless, all she could do was be silent, and she kept falling into silence.

Xiao Man couldn't help sighing when he saw this: "Wan Yao, the matter has come to this, even the Xue family can't do anything about it, no matter how powerful our Xue and Xiao families are, they are just courtiers, unless we rebel, otherwise we can't disrespect the orders of the Son of Heaven...... Don't take your own life, that's a big sin of the Zhulian Nine Clans, even if you don't feel sorry for your father, you have to think more about Xiao Shuxian, he is only four years old, you are the ...... who loves him the most"

Xiao Man is worthy of being an old fox, and his words poked at the softest place in Xiao Wanyao's heart, yes, Xiao Shuxian can't die, and he can't let him die early......

Xiao Wanyao's body shook slightly, and she didn't recover for a long time, at this time, Xiao Man called the licorice at the door to come in, and said, "It's up to you to decide whether to stay at this point, go back and think about it!" Let's see if you need the Xiao family to accompany you to the funeral. ”

Xiao Man glanced at the licorice: "Take your young lady back to the house to rest and wash up well." ”

Although Licorice felt sorry for Xiao Wanyao, she didn't dare to say anything now, and helped Xiao Wanyao out of the main hall without saying a word, but Xiao Wanyao only felt weak and weak, so she could only rely on Licorice to support her back.

At night, Xiao Wanyao nested in a corner of the bed, not eating, drinking or sleeping, just sitting in a daze all night. Licorice was anxious, but after knowing the truth of the matter, she had no way to persuade Xiao Wanyao, even she couldn't be relieved about this matter, how could she make Xiao Wanyao feel relieved?

The only thing Licorice could do was to be by her side.

This night, Xiao Wanyao's thoughts were surging in her heart and mind, the first half of the night was desperate, she always felt that fate made people, her hard work was in vain, her love for Tang Siqi turned into hatred, she had no way to pretend to be obedient and stay by his side all day long, Tang Siqi's former gentleness became Xiao Wanyao's torture, his laughter turned into sarcasm to her, and his qiē had become unpleasant.

Xiao Wanyao remembered that day she was playing against Tang Siqi with a mask in the Bowen Pavilion, if he didn't have a jade mask, she didn't know what she would do.

Xiao Wanyao rubbed her temples and couldn't help but smile bitterly, she loved that man so much back then, even if he broke her leg with his own hands, she still stupidly pinned her hopes on him, but now, standing in front of Xiao Wanyao in clothes, Xiao Wanyao couldn't recognize his figure, and after a lifetime, she didn't know Tang Siqi anymore.

If you don't love, you don't love.

At dawn the next day, Xiao Wanyao said to Licorice, who had been sitting with her all night: "Help me fetch water, I want to wash my face, and change into clean clothes with a plain color." ”

Licorice looked at Xiao Wanyao's indifferent face, but felt that it was better to speak than not to say a word, so she obediently went out to fetch water.

Xiao Wanyao sat on the bed, her eyes became more firm than ever, she secretly clenched her fists, and solemnly made an oath to herself - from now on, her fate can only be controlled by her!

Licorice brought warm water, after Xiao Wanyao washed, she changed into a snow-blue dress, and before going out, Xiao Wanyao applied some rouge on her cheeks to cover the paleness on her face, and then walked towards the main hall.

Licorice followed her, her scarlet scarlet in her hand.

Xiao Man was waiting in the main hall early, and there were Liu Ruyun, Xiao Wanrou, Xiao Ze and Xiao Shuxian standing behind him, the reason why Xiao Ze and Xiao Shuxian were here was completely Xiao Man's intention, he was afraid that Xiao Wanyao would refuse, but he would definitely be soft-hearted when he saw Xiao Shuxian.

This is Xiao Man's chips.

Xiao Wanyao slowly walked out of the snow, the scarlet daqi was brightly lined with snow, Xiao Wanyao looked calm, as if nothing had happened, after entering the house, licorice untied the daqi for her, and went to the door to shake off the snow on it.

"Wan Yao greets her father." Xiao Wanyao's expression was as usual, as if the person who cried until she couldn't cry yesterday was not her.

Xiao Man smiled: "Wan Yao is ready?" ”

Xiao Wanyao nodded: "Back to my father's words, before leaving, Wanyao wants to have breakfast with my father and enjoy the happiness of family reunion." ”

Xiao Wanrou was quite surprised when she heard this, but Xiao Man's heart blossomed: "Good, good!" My Xiao Man's daughter really understands the overall situation, and her father is not wrong about you! ”

Xiao Wanyao got up and stood aside, showing a faint smile: "Wanyao is just thinking about the rest of her life, she can't always be bullied, it's time to raise her head and be a man." ”

Xiao Wanyao's tone was ruthless, Xiao Wanrou and Liu Ruyun looked at each other, and didn't overdo it. I1483
