The words are divided into two ends.

After Ling Deyan participated in the Qing Poetry Meeting, he led Qingxi back to his residence, and ordered the Moon Shadow who had been staying in the house to wait at the door, and then closed the door.

Qingxi looked at his father with a serious expression, just pacing back and forth in the house with his eyebrows locked, and without speaking, he said, "Dad, I should be in trouble." She bit her lip and hung her head, a little overwhelmed.

Ling Deyan saw her like this, his heart was full of pity, he pulled her to sit down, and asked in a deep voice, "Did anything special happen to you staying at the crown princess last night?" ”

Qingxi heard his father ask this, and he had a plan in his heart. On the way back, she analyzed the events of last night, but her father should not know, and Xiao Yizheng solemnly told her not to leak it. Although she didn't know what kind of plan King Heng had, she inexplicably felt that he would not embarrass herself and her family, and even protect herself and her family. Whether it was for the sake of secrecy or to avoid making her father anxious and worried, she couldn't mention last night's incident, so she was silent for a while, and then made up her mind to speak, "It's just that when I came back this morning, I met the Holy One." ”

"Then yesterday, the Holy Lord summoned you, what was so special?"

She shook her head: "I didn't say anything special, and I didn't say a word." ”

"And what about this morning?"

She frowned slightly and thought for a while, "It's nothing, it's just that I enjoyed the spring scenery, if there is anything special, the saint asked about Brother Zeng." Ask us what our affection is, and say yes," she paused, and continued in a low voice, "You can give us a marriage." ”

"And how did you answer?" Ling Deyan took two steps forward and asked anxiously.

"Answer truthfully!"

Ling Deyan felt dizzy for a while, he shouldn't have asked, he should have known that his daughter would only answer truthfully. He sat down slowly on the chair and looked at Qingxi worriedly: "Heng'er, haven't you seen the meaning of the saint until now?" ”

Qingxi looked up and looked at his father puzzled. There were so many unusual things she had encountered in this day and night, which one should she have seen?

"You! Where has your cleverness gone in this matter? Ling Deyan tapped his forehead, with an expression of hatred that could not be made of steel.

Qingxi suddenly became excited, all the emperor's words and all his actions were connected one by one, and he exclaimed: "Should the Holy One be thinking?" She suddenly got to her feet, looking incredulous.

Ling Deyan saw that she understood, and sighed: "Although I am not completely sure, I think this is probably what it means." ”

"How so? Shouldn't this be done with caution? How could it be me? I just met by chance......" Qingxi stopped for a moment and didn't say anything further.

Ling Deyan said that she originally wanted to say that she had met the emperor by chance this morning, but she was not suspicious, and said worriedly: "Although the saint has this meaning, I haven't mentioned it yet. The matter of marriage also needs to consider the intentions of both parties, and we can refuse. ”

"Dad," Qingxi looked into his father's eyes and said worriedly, "But refusing means offending the royal family." ”

"Don't worry." Ling Deyan pulled her to sit down again, and patted her hand: "The Holy Lord is a reasonable and broad-minded person, he will not forcibly twist a family matter, let alone blame it for it. ”

Qingxi was worried in her heart, she remembered the marriage between the prince and Shen Tong. The elder brother and Shen Tong have known each other for a long time, although the two have always adhered to etiquette, and they have never broken each other's affection, but the two elders are also tacit in this matter, and they will only wait for the elder brother to finish the imperial examination and have to carry out the six wedding ceremonies. But when the prince wanted to marry Shen Tong as the crown princess, the Shen family did not say a word. The royal value and face are not so easy to refuse.

Xu is saw her thoughts, and Ling De said earnestly: "Your sister Tong was chosen as the crown princess because of all the considerations of the saint. I don't want to talk to you about the affairs of the court. Your Uncle Shen actually has no room to refuse, not to mention that none of the sons and daughters of the Shen family are outstanding, and the future of the Shen family is glorious, and your Uncle Shen has to think about it. Nor can I blame him for his weakness in this matter. But, Heng'er, Dad didn't expect that much from you. I will not do it in exchange for your lifelong happiness for the glory of the Ling family. Use your marriage as a guarantee for your brother's official prosperity, and your brother will never agree to it. What's more, Princess Heng is different from the crown princess, and it is not that you have to do it, so you don't need to worry. ”

Qingxi listened to her father's words, her heart welled up with infinite warmth, she leaned on her father's shoulder with a smile, and said softly: "Father seems to be sure that I don't want to marry into the royal family?"

"Hey, I'm your father, why don't I know your character. You are used to being free and autonomous, how can the royal life be what you yearn for. Ling Deyan gently patted her and held his hand; Actually, regardless of identity, His Royal Highness the Sixth is an extremely excellent person, with a dignified appearance, a sparse temperament, a good chest, and a good character, and my father appreciates it very much. Look at what I said, even the identity of the Sixth Highness is also highly valued by many girls! It's a pity that our family Heng'er is also special. He laughed as he spoke.

Qingxi tightened his father a little tighter.

"It's just that, Heng'er, if your father refuses this marriage, you may have to suffer some grievances, and you may not be able to get married in the short term."

Qingxi didn't speak, and his heart turned over the river and the sea.

Ling Deyan continued: "However, I see that the kid of the Zeng family is a strong-willed one, and he may be waiting for you against all odds. ”

"Dad" Qingxi: "Why do you think of him again." ”

"Heng'er, do you know why your father and mother always let you keep a low profile in Shangdu?"

Qingxi nodded, she usually wears men's clothes when she goes out, and she doesn't want people to know that she is Miss Ling.

"It's not that I'm boasting, our family Heng'er is also a leader! In Shangdu, there are many official eunuchs' homes, and if the father and mother are not deliberately low-key, there is an endless stream of people who propose relatives. In this officialdom, marriage is common, and the father does not want to offend unnecessarily. Big families have the difficulties of survival in big families, and your parents only want your life to be comfortable and comfortable, so you still want to pick and choose. General Zeng Ji was stationed on the frontier all the year round, and the relationship between the family members was simple, and there were no other intertwined relationships in Shangdu. The child in Yuanyi also has close contacts with our family, and your mother and I are also relieved. He has two elder brothers, both of whom are on the frontier, and General Zeng will not let this younger son go again. He paused, as if he had something unfinished, and then added, "In any way, we want to marry this family." Just want you to be willing not to. He said, looking sideways at Qingxi: "Now that this is the case again, there is no hurry, let's take a look." ”

While the two were talking, the voice of Moon Shadow came from outside the door: "Master, there is an inner servant here." ”

Ling Deyan and Ling Qingxi glanced at each other, got up at the same time, and walked towards the door together. Ling Deyan opened the door and saw that the person who came was not Guo Rui, but someone from the queen's side.

The waiter saluted with a smile on his face: "Ling Shilang, the queen asked me to bring the guqin, saying that it was for Miss Ling." As he spoke, he handed the guqin to him.

Ling Deyan hurriedly took it; "Xie Niangniang's reward, the little girl deserves it."

"This guqin is the most famous: Taixuanqin."

Qingxi, who was standing behind Ling Deyan and saluted, was shocked when he heard the name of the piano.
