Chapter 36: Escaping the Catastrophe (2)
Xuanyuan Nuoxin took Chao Ximeng to sit in the carriage that symbolized his identity, Chao Ximeng in the carriage has been silent and bowed her head, but her heart is turned upside down, when she heard about Chao Xiwu's poisoning this morning, she was first happy, because in this way, Chao Xiwu can not go to the chrysanthemum banquet, and today she can get along with the prince alone.
What she didn't expect was that the person in charge of picking her up today would be the third prince, she didn't know much about the three princes, but she knew that among all the princes, the third prince was the only one who could compete with the crown prince. She didn't have the opportunity to meet the third prince before, but after seeing it today, she felt that she was worthy of being a person who could compete with the crown prince, and it was indeed very good in all aspects.
When Chao Ximeng was thinking nonsense, Xuanyuan Nuo's heart couldn't be silent, and he finally had a chance to be alone with Chao Ximeng. First spoke, "Ximeng, do you mind if I call you that?" ”
The three princes all gave up their self-proclaimed names and changed them to me, which surprised Chao Ximeng, but soon returned to normal, smiled gently, and said, "Don't mind." ”
Xuanyuan Nuo nodded when he heard this, and continued to ask, "Ximeng, have you reached the age of marriage?" ”
When Chao Ximeng heard this, she was immediately shocked in her heart, even if she was good at disguising her emotions, there was still a trace of surprise on her face, this affection made Xuanyuan Nuoxin look at it in his eyes, and secretly blamed himself, he was really too anxious, and he scared Ximeng.
"Hehe... Did I scare you abruptly? Xuanyuan said apologetically.
Seeing this, Chao Ximeng lowered his head, concealed the complicated look in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "No... No. ”
Xuanyuan Nuo sighed in his heart when he saw this, he shouldn't have asked so bluntly just now, if he was not mistaken, Ximeng was only fourteen years old, and there were still two years before the age of the relatives, he was too early to mention it now, and he was sad that Ximeng would have this reaction.
"What I said just now, don't take Ximeng to heart, it's me who is too Meng Lang." Xuanyuan Nuo sincerely apologized in Daolu, how could he go to another prince so quietly and apologize to a woman.
Xuanyuan Nuoxin won a little favor from Chaoxi Dream with this behavior, she raised her head and said with a smile, "Third prince, the courtiers didn't take it to heart, but they were a little embarrassed, after all, such a private matter..."
At the end of the point, the two of them tacitly understood, so they didn't continue to ask about this topic, and Xuanyuan Nuoxin also opened the topic and asked, "Ximeng, I heard that you are the number one talented woman in the capital, I don't know what Ximeng is best at?" ”
Hearing Xuanyuan Nuoxin say that the capital was the first talented woman, a trace of pride flashed in Chao Ximeng's eyes, she was completely lucky, the last question, she was not too sure, and it could be regarded as God's favor for her, so that she won Li Qingqing.
"The best thing a courtier is the piano."
"Jean? Hehe... If there is a plan, I wonder if Ximeng is willing to play a song for me? Let me see the demeanor of the first talented woman in our capital. Xuanyuan Nuoxin's words of praise were undoubtedly speaking in Chaoximeng's heart.
That girl doesn't like the sweet words that men say, not to mention that the other party is still a prince, which makes Chao Ximeng's pride in her heart even stronger, and even her eyebrows reveal a faint look of pride.
"When there is time, the courtiers are willing to play a song for the Three Emperors."
Hearing that Chao Ximeng promised him, Xuanyuan Nuo smiled in his heart, so that he could have an excuse to come to Ximeng. Ximeng is still a girl who has not left the cabinet now, even if he is a prince, he usually has to pay attention to what he does, and he doesn't dare to go to the general's mansion too much, if he is caught by someone, he will lose more than he gains.
The atmosphere behind it was suddenly much better than before, with this topic, along the way, between Chao Ximeng and Xuanyuan Nuoxin, it didn't seem to be silent, the original boring journey, but it passed quickly, and not long after entering the palace, the carriage stopped. Xuanyuan Nuoxin sent Chaoxi Dream to the designated place and left, after all, this is the harem, and he has to avoid suspicion if he is the prince.
Chao Ximeng looked at the palace that she had come to once, and made up her mind in her heart, this time she had no way to win the queen's love, she wanted to marry In addition to her mother's help, the queen who could help her the most, if she could please the queen, she would have a great chance of success. What's more, if Chaoxi Dance didn't come today, she would have more opportunities to show.
Under the leadership of the palace maid, Chao Ximeng came to the Imperial Garden, today's banquet was held in the Imperial Garden, and when I walked into the Imperial Garden, I heard a burst of laughter. Chao Ximeng's heart didn't know what was going on, and she was nervous all of a sudden, she hadn't experienced such a situation, but her mood was different from before, and she was inevitably nervous.
The arrival of Chaoxi Dream made everyone's eyes focus on her. She walked to the queen generously, knelt down and saluted, and said respectfully, "The courtiers see the queen's mother." ”
"Hehe... Get up. Li Mei said nobly and generously, her impression of Chaoxi Dream is still relatively deep, in addition to her own reasons, more because of Chaoxi Dance.
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
After Chao Ximeng stood up, he heard Li Mei ask, "Why are you the only one who comes?" What about your sister? ”
Chao Ximeng said in embarrassment: "Back to the queen, my sister is unwell today and can't come." ”
"Oh? But infected with wind and cold? Li Mei asked with concern, she will hold today's banquet, one or two reasons are to test Chao Xi Wu, if she is a woman who is easy to control, she doesn't mind Chao Xi Wu being her daughter-in-law, if Chao Xi Wu is not as she shows, but is scheming and difficult to control, she will consider persuading the emperor to let the emperor change his choice.
"No, my sister didn't know who poisoned her." Chao Ximeng said honestly, she doesn't need to be tricky in this matter, she will only get a good impression if she tells the truth, and she doesn't have to worry about her lies being exposed afterwards.
Hearing this, Li Mei was taken aback all of a sudden, and hurriedly asked, "Does it matter if your sister wants it?" ”
"Queen Xie's relationship, my sister has nothing to do, but this incident hurt my body, I'm afraid I can only stay in bed for half a month."
"It's good that there's nothing to do."
"Alright, since you're here, let's take a seat."
"Yes."
The moment Li Mei turned around towards Ximeng, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in her eyes, Chao Xiwu was actually poisoned? This news is not good news for her, but it is not bad news, it depends on how to use it.
