When she entered the palace and met Emperor Guangzhao, Xizhen immediately made a request to Emperor Guangzhao - when she met him, the others had to stay away.

Xi Zhen knew very well that with this distance, her conversation with Emperor Guangzhao would not reach the ears of others, but if she and Emperor Guangzhao wanted to call them over, they would be able to hear it.

Although Emperor Guangzhao didn't understand why she suddenly had such an idea, he knew that she knew how to do mystics and had a very accurate intuition, so there must be a reason for doing so, so he agreed.

Gonggong Liu and all the palace maids immediately went to wait three zhang away from them.

"Now, can you tell me why I did this?" Emperor Guangzhao asked her.

"The courtiers are just acting out of prudence, because the content of our conversations is sometimes confidential." Hee-jin explained that she wouldn't just say what other people weren't without evidence.

"Okay, I depend on you, if you come to see me in the future, I will let them leave three feet away, so we can talk with confidence, hahaha." Emperor Guangzhao burst out laughing.

Hee-jin laughed too.

Then, she reported to him some of her observations and views on border construction.

Emperor Guangzhao listened with interest and nodded from time to time.

No matter how heavy the topic is, she can always give a hopeful advice that makes people feel happy, so Emperor Guangzhao especially likes to talk to her.

During this trip to the border, Xizhen secretly deployed several tasks, but she carried out them extremely secretly, so even the five bodyguards were not aware of it.

Xizhen gave the souvenirs he bought along the way to Emperor Guangzhao, who happily accepted them, and then said to her: "King Qingping has returned to Beijing, he asked me for your family affairs, and I agreed, but I asked him to marry you first, and the family affairs will be done when you are 18 years old, do you have any thoughts on this?" ”

Hearing the three words King Qingping, Xi Zhen's heart instantly beat faster as if he had been hit by something, and his face immediately flushed.

This is the expression that will only appear when a little woman meets true love, Emperor Guangzhao smiled, and thought to himself - she will be my daughter-in-law one day, and then we will not only be a monarch and a minister, but also a family.

He was very happy to think about it.

"No, Your Majesty, thank you for your approval, the courtiers will go back and tell your mother." Xi Zhen said with a smile.

"I'll call King Qingping to come, he wants to see you too."

"Has he returned to Beijing?"

"Well, it's been a few days since I came back."

"Okay."

Emperor Guangzhao immediately sent Gonggong Liu to Xuanqing Pingwang.

King Qingping was reading the book with relish in the room, and when he heard that the emperor asked to see him, he put down the book and followed Gonggong Liu to the Zichen Palace.

When King Qingping saw Shen Xizhen sitting in it, he was overjoyed in his heart, and almost forgot to salute Emperor Guangzhao.

Xi Zhen immediately reminded him with his eyes, and he hurriedly saluted Emperor Guangzhao first, then greeted her, and then sat down very close to her.

Looking at the pair of golden boys and girls in front of him, Emperor Guangzhao seemed to see himself and Lazakina back then, and his heart was full of joy and sadness, and he was full of emotion.

"Okay, I have agreed to your relatives, and I will send someone to the Shen family tomorrow to determine the marriage."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" "Thank you, Father!" The two replied in unison, their faces beaming with happiness.

Emperor Guangzhao told Xi Zhen about the measures to build water conservancy, and Xi Zhen nodded and praised after listening to it.

"The two of you are both resourceful and knowledgeable, and the combination is even more powerful, and I am very pleased!" Emperor Guangzhao said sincerely, and suddenly remembered the prince again, and his face suddenly darkened.

The two smiled and thanked each other.

Seeing that it was not too early, the two took their leave.

During the journey to send Xizhen out of the palace, Chu Zihou kept suppressing the urge to hold her hand and walk, and walked side by side with her silently.

This is not a short road in their eyes, but it is too short for them, and how they wish they could continue to walk side by side like this.

When they arrived outside the gate of the palace, the two of them said goodbye.

Since the palace will send someone to the Shen family to determine the marriage the next day, Xizhen does not need to enter the palace on this day, and everyone in the whole house is waiting nervously early in the morning.

Du Qiniang has mixed feelings.

In the past, she never dared to think of being related to the royal family, so now she feels honored and inevitably worried, but she also knows that Xizhen has always been different from other girls, and she believes that her daughter will have a way to find peace and wealth.

It's just that, as the mother of such a wonderful daughter, there is still a faint worry.

Thinking that Xizhen now has a partner, and his second son Shen Xicong has not, he can't help but be worried.

Soon after the hour, a large group of people came to the gate of the Shen Mansion.

Du Qi Niang dressed up to greet her.

Because the man is a prince and has a valuable status, he doesn't need to propose marriage in person, so it is the people arranged by Emperor Guangzhao who will send thirty gifts in turn according to customs and etiquette, and the lord will send someone to Du Qiniang and say: "The emperor means - to marry first, and then marry when Miss Shen is eighteen years old." In addition, King Qingping will return to Beijing to assist the emperor at that time, so there will also be his own mansion in the capital, and Miss Shen will not have to marry far from the frontier. ”

"Thank you!" Du Qiniang hurriedly replied. I am also happy in my heart, at least I don't have to climb mountains and wade when I want to see my daughter in the future.

I don't know who spread the news, and the neighbors around the Shen Mansion all came to see the excitement, and for a while, people were crowded inside and outside the door, as if they were doing a happy event.

The children even ran around with candy: "Sister Beauty wants to get married, she wants to get married." Hearing this, Xizhen's heart felt like drinking honey.

Seeing off the marriage team, Du Qiniang hugged Xizhen tightly and said, "Mother is really happy for you, you married such a good person." ”

"Mother, I think so too." Xi Zhen hugged her back and said that her face flushed with happiness at the thought of becoming the wife of King Qingping.

But soon she calmed down, knowing that she still had to wait for two and a half years, and these two and a half years were not only a wait but also a test, and the world was impermanent, and no one dared to guarantee what would happen then.

Xi Zhen prayed silently in his heart, praying that the two would bravely survive the test and finally unite smoothly.

"Always have faith in your heart!" She said to herself.

"Zhen'er, come and see, Guifei Gina has a gift for you." Du Qiniang, who was counting the gifts in the back room, said to Xizhen, who was thinking about her heart.

Xi Zhen hurriedly ran over to take a look.

But I saw that it was a set of embroidered skirts with excellent workmanship, embroidered with red plum blossoms and tender green leaves, the style of the skirt was very simple but not simple, and a letter was attached to the box containing the skirt: "I made the embroidered skirt myself, I hope you like it." "It's signed by Guifei Gina.

"Look, how good your mother-in-law is to you!" Du Qiniang immediately put on a jealous look.

"You're also very good, mother, you are irreplaceable." Xi Zhen said with a smile, and Du Qiniang smiled in one sentence.

………………………………

"Miss Shen is back." In the Ciyuan Palace, Liu Shimo, who came in a hurry, said to Empress Wenci.

"I already know, but I have to wait for King Qingping to go to the south before I can act, so bear with it first." Empress Wenci responded. Due to her preoccupation and poor sleep, she recently looks several years older than her actual age, but she still can't hide her charming appearance.

It's just that this beauty always exudes a touch of sadness, coupled with her arrogant personality, which makes people dare not approach.

She motioned for Liu Shipai to sit down and said, "Today, the emperor sent someone to the Shen family to settle a marriage." ”

"I know that, too." Liu Shipai said.

"That Miss Shen seems to have realized something, and she doesn't allow anyone else to come near when she meets the emperor."

"I guess the palace maid's look is wrong, so let her see it."

"What then? At this time, transferring her away is more likely to arouse the emperor's suspicion. Empress Wenci asked in a panic.

"Don't transfer away yet, just don't listen to their conversation lately."

"Mm-hmm, we're going to do it soon anyway."

"Yes, Queen, you...... Take care of yourself. Seeing the queen's haggard face, Liu Shigui said with concern.

"Thank you, I'm fine, I'm used to living a frightened life, and this little thing can't kill me." With that, Empress Wenci smiled.

But in Liu Shipai's opinion, her smile is more poignant than crying.

Liu Shijian sighed secretly in his heart and got up to leave.

…………………

The next day, Xi Zhen, who walked out of Zichen Hall with the qin in her arms, saw Chu Zihou standing on the side of the road waiting for her from a distance, and hurriedly quickened her pace and walked towards him.

"I've written you a letter, you can go back and read it again." Chu Zihou stared at her as she took out the letter from her pocket.

On the outside of the envelope was written the words 'Sincere Love'.

Hee-jin's heart beat suddenly, and he hurriedly put the letter in his pocket and hurried away.
