Just like that, a few more days passed in anxiety, and the emperor never mentioned the matter of marriage, and the queen mother's marriage was delayed. Li Xuan was anxious, but no one could discuss. Eniang was exhausted for Xiyan's matter, he didn't want her to worry about this matter anymore, and he didn't dare to mention Ning Ruo, Ning Ruo's mind was delicate and sensitive, if she knew...... He didn't dare to think about it. If this thing is done, he doesn't know how to talk to Ning Ruo; If not...... He didn't know how to spend such a long life in remorse. The only thing to be happy about is that Xiyan has finally improved, and she can get up and sit for an hour or two every day and eat something.

On this day, the morning court had just ended, and the emperor called him to the imperial study again. Li Xuan also vaguely guessed the emperor's intentions, and couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive. As soon as he entered the study, he saw that there were only two people inside, him and the emperor. Although he was summoned alone, the emperor left him aside, and he was not in a hurry to speak, until he was restless, and the emperor suddenly raised his head from the pile of folds and glanced at him, and said leisurely, "Li Xuan, you are not small." ”

Li Xuan was frightened and immediately fell to his knees. "The emperor is angry, and the minister is guilty."

"You recognize it quickly." The emperor sneered. "You rely on the Queen Mother to love you, and you don't even pay attention to me, don't you?"

"Don't dare! Ask the emperor for forgiveness! He was worried in his heart, and he didn't know what the emperor was planning. Based on his understanding of the emperor, if the emperor is angry now, it doesn't seem to be.

"Tell me what your sin is?" The emperor asked meaningfully.

"Minister...... The minister has a deep affection for Xiyan Gege, and he doesn't want her to go to kiss! He lowered his head, his white face flushed slightly. He had never spoken out about his feelings. But in just a few days, he actually confessed in front of the two, which really made him embarrassed.

"Hmph, no wonder you desperately opposed it last time, it turned out to be selfish!" The emperor said coldly.

"The emperor forgives his sins!" Li Xuan was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe, but suddenly heard the emperor say-

"I thought you really had to live alone for the rest of your life." Listening to this obviously joking tone, Li Xuan unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, the emperor has another plan in his heart. Since the Queen Mother interceded for Li Xuan, he had already planned to fulfill them. Not to mention how much the Queen Mother loves Li Xuan and Xiyan, this is also his own intention. In such a group of princes in the royal family, Li Xuan is an extremely outstanding one, calm and steady, and gentle. It stands to reason that such a person is actually a little scary. But he doesn't seem to care much about anything, the brothers are willing to make friends with him, and the powerful are interested in clinging, but he can always find a balance between them, and he is not very close to anyone, and his relationship with anyone is not bad. What satisfies the emperor the most is his family affairs. At the end of his filial piety period, he unexpectedly married his cousin - Ning Ruo, who was born with both parents dead and fostered in their family since he was a child. Back then, he and Ning Ruo got married, and I don't know how many deep boudoir girls were sad, and how many important ministers and upstarts were choked. But this also made him feel relieved, not only that, but he also felt a little wronged by Li Xuan. In the past two years, although many people have tried their best to send their daughters to the Rui Wang's Mansion, both openly and secretly, he has known it several times, but they have all been rejected by Li Xuan. Now, there is finally one he can see, how can the emperor not be perfect? And this time, the other party is a powerless and powerless lord. Thinking back to Li Xuan's reaction at that time, the emperor also found it quite interesting. If it weren't for the woman he loved, how could Li Xuan, who had always been calm and composed, also be anxious, lose his mind, and almost trip over the threshold?

As for harmony, it was originally not necessary to be sunset. It's just that after King Su mentioned yì, he suddenly remembered that the Queen Mother had also mentioned in front of him that she wanted to find a good family for this girl, and he felt that this matter was feasible. Now, although his own daughter is not suitable, can't this Manchu Dynasty civil and military family find a decent daughter? Not to mention anything else, isn't there a ready-made place in Suwangfu?

"I'm ashamed." For Ning Ruo, he really felt guilty in his heart.

"Has Xiyan been getting better lately? If it's good, bring it to me. The emperor changed his words.

"Your Majesty......" Li Xuan was stunned.

"I'm very curious about this girl who is 'naughty and willful', 'doesn't understand the rules', and makes you 'deeply rooted'." The emperor smiled. "I want to see what kind of charm she has, so that the prince of Rui, who is not shocked, will be in chaos."

Li Xuan's face turned red.

"What are you doing here? Let's go back and prepare! Ruiwangfu has not had a happy event for a while, and it is time to be lively. ”

"Emperor Xie!"

Sitting in the carriage back home, Li Xuan still felt that this matter was incredible. So, from now on, Xiyan is his? He no longer has to worry that she will leave, no longer has to fear that someone else will snatch her away? He tried to calm himself down—he still owed Ning Ruo an explanation. He can admit his admiration for Xiyan bluntly to the Queen Mother and the Emperor, but can he also say the same to Ning Ruo? He could brutally sue her after she had paid a qiē for him, but in fact, he had always loved Xiyan in his heart? His heart that had been relieved and even a little excited couldn't help but sink again.

Back at the palace, Li Xuan didn't care about anything else, and told Ning Ruo about the marriage as soon as possible. There were many twists and turns in the middle, and he was honest one by one, but his thoughts about Xiyan were lightly brushed aside by him. Ning Ruo's reaction can be imagined, and for a while, the atmosphere was also depressed.

"Ning Ruo......" Li Xuan wanted to speak and stopped, so he had to hold Ning Ruo in his arms and caress and comfort him.

At this time, Ning Ruo was already crying with pear blossoms and rain, which made people feel distressed.

"Ning Ruo, Xiyan grew up with us since childhood, can you bear to watch her go to kiss?"

"I don't want to," Ning Ruo raised her head and looked at him with big watery eyes, "but I don't want her to marry my husband even more!" ”

"I can't think of a better way than that...... Ningruo, please be considerate of me. ”

Ning Ruo was tired of crying, and he didn't want to speak in his arms, and after a while, he said quietly, "After all, I have nothing to do, and I don't blame you for taking a concubine." ”

"Ning Ruo!" Li Xuan turned her body and made her face to him, "If you think so, you are deliberately trying to make me embarrassed!" ”

"Then you teach me!" Ning Ruo cried again. "You have to marry Xiyan, if not, what else can I think, how can I think to let myself go?!" If they are the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker, she can comfort herself, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, which big family doesn't live like this? But they're not, they're childhood sweethearts, the two have no guesses, they've been a recognized pair since childhood, and they're married because they love each other! How could she have accepted a third person to intervene between them as if nothing had happened?!

"I'm sorry, Ning Ruo, I'm sorry." He cupped her face and gently kissed away the tears from her face. "I know you're going to be sad, but I'm still so selfishly asking the Queen Mother to marry...... What would you do if you were me...... Xiyan has always been our sister, and we will get along as well as before in the future? Don't cry anymore, crying will break your body, and then it will be uncomfortable again. ”

"Sister?" Ning Ruo smiled bitterly, "When you marry her, can you still treat her as a sister?" Li Xuan, can you? ”

Li Xuan was stunned. He couldn't. He married her, of course, he couldn't bear to see her go to kiss, but more importantly, because he loved her and wanted her.

Seeing Li Xuan's expression, Ning Ruo felt even more sad, "Actually, you have her in your heart, don't you?" She regretted asking this question, and if he said yes, what would she do? What could she do? She is nothing but a Fu Jin who clings to him, and she has nothing but his love!

Li Xuan couldn't deny it, and he couldn't bear to admit it. He had secretly sworn in his heart that he would be good to Ning Ruo for the rest of his life, agree to all her requests, and fulfill all her wishes. But now, he still let her down.

"Ning Ruo, I will always treat you well, the same as before." He took her hand and assured earnestly. "Don't think about anything else, just trust me. I am still the former Li Xuan, and I am your Li Xuan. ”

"I don't know," Ning Ruoran said, her beautiful eyes were full of desolation, "When one day, Xiyan gives birth to children for you, will your mind always be the same?" By then, what will I have left? ”

"Yes, I will." He hugged her hard and promised word by word, "You have me, I am yours, and it always has been." ”

She leaned into his arms and stopped thinking about it.

It's in vain to think.
