Xue Chen came out of the palace and came directly to Su Qiange's restaurant, and he didn't have time to change his court clothes, and he was standing outside Su Qiange's door at this moment, his face was slightly sad.

Su Qiange looked at the man standing in front of her with an unkind expression, and felt a little uneasy in her heart, "Xue Chen, what's wrong, what's going on in the palace?" ”

"Ge'er, I just asked the emperor for marriage in the court, and the emperor still wants to give me peace."

Xue Chen's thoughts about Su Qiange are known to the world, and the emperor is even more so, he suddenly wants to let Ping An marry him this time, he must have moved other thoughts.

"Peace? You just met her? Su Qiange doesn't know much about Princess Ping'an, but no matter how she says it, she is also the princess of the Great Cloud Kingdom, and talking doesn't count this kind of thing, which is really insulting to her identity.

"Ping'an is a person in the harem, she can't go to the court, I think she has already gone to the emperor before we return to Beijing."

Because he was too obsessed with himself before, Xue Chen subconsciously thought that it was because she was messing around that the emperor would mention the marriage of the two, and his tone was a little disgusted at the moment.

"Maybe!" Su Qiange didn't affirm but didn't deny it, she always felt that there was a reason behind this incident that they hadn't thought of, "Or, is there another reason?" ”

"I hope so, it seems that a lot of things have happened during the time we are not in the capital, so I will investigate first."

Xue Chen didn't stay long, now the emperor's attitude is unclear, the two of them must find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible, once this matter drags on, it must be the two of them who will be hurt.

"Be careful." Su Qiange explained, and sent Xue Chen out of the door again.

Sitting at the table again, Su Qiange's mood was very different from just now, and the original happiness became heavy, I thought that I could be very happy when I returned to Beijing this time, but I never thought that I would be poured a basin of cold water by the emperor.

Xue Chen came out of the restaurant and went directly to Song Yushi's house, at this time, he was writing hard as usual, and when he heard the footsteps, he didn't even raise his head.

"Song Yushi is so serious, he doesn't greet any guests when they come?" Xue Chen laughed, sat on the chair by himself, picked up the teacup and drank it, not treating himself as an outsider at all.

Song Yushi didn't even raise his head, he was lazy, "How can there be guests who pour tea and drink by themselves, when did they come back?" ”

"You don't know?" Xue Chen did not answer the rhetorical question.

Song Yushi put the pen next to the inkstone, sighed deeply, and his face was full of helplessness, "Xue Chen, it's too boring for you to talk like this." ”

"Song Yushi is a know-it-all in the capital, and if you say it directly, you won't be able to reflect your vast magical powers." Interesting or not, Xue Chen doesn't care at all.

"Without further ado, what's the matter with coming to me?" Song Yushi rolled his eyes directly, Xue Chen's sycophant was so distracted that Song Yushi didn't even want to give him an excited expression.

"How have you been with Princess Heian lately?" Xue Chen didn't want to beat around the bush.

Song Yushi probably didn't expect Xue Chen to ask him about Princess Ping'an, and he was a little caught off guard for a while, and a trace of shyness flashed in his eyes, "Princess Ping'an?" It's not bad, she likes to read all the books I wrote recently. ”

"I mean, how's your relationship?" It wasn't the answer he wanted, so Xue Chen changed the question.

"What's wrong?" Song Yushi realized that something was wrong and did not answer the question directly.

Xue Chen knew that Song Yushi had a good impression of Princess Ping'an, and he would deliberately collect her favorite words on weekdays, if Princess Ping'an's words about giving up on her last time were true, then these days, he might also be moved by Song Yushi and accept him.

"When I entered the palace today, the emperor said that he would marry me and Princess Ping'an." Xue Chen said, observing Song Yushi's expression.

Sure enough, when Song Yushi heard this, his smile stiffened, "Isn't it, do you really want power in one hand and money in one hand?" ”

Xue Chen wanted to slap it over, but he still held back, he hid his emotions in his eyes, and his face was casual, "Actually, what you said is not unreasonable, if the two of them have no opinion, I will naturally enjoy the blessings of all people." ”

"Xue Chen, are you serious?" Song Yushi thought that he had recognized the wrong person, and it didn't seem like he said it from Xue Chen's mouth.

"Or else?" Xue Chen deliberately didn't care, he wanted to see how long Song Yushi could endure.

"Get out, you're not welcome here!" imagined a violent anger, but Song Yushi was a literati, and in his anger, he only said a cruel word to Xue Chen.

Xue Chen sneered, "Why, a few days ago, didn't you still say that I was so good, why did I only leave for a few days, and you changed your mind?" ”

"What kind of heart do you change, I just think that I saw the wrong person and misrecognized you as a brother!" Even now, Song Yushi is unwilling to tell his true words.

In this way, Xue Chen didn't know when he would be able to stir up Song Yushi's true words, he deliberately leaned forward to Song Yushi, and said with a serious face, "You really have no opinion?" Then I will go and ask the emperor for marriage, and it will be too late for you to regret it. ”

"Xue Chen, what are you doing here, if you just say that you are rotten peach blossoms, then please leave, I am very busy." Song Yushi took the pen back into his hand, the pen and ink dripped on the paper, staining a large piece, he sneered in his heart, after today, between him and Xue Chen, just like this waste paper, there is no place to use.

"I know you are happy with Princess Ping'an, but if you don't admit it, no one can help you." Xue Chen saw that Song Yushi refused to admit it for a long time, so he simply spoke it up for him.

"Don't talk nonsense, I only have the courtiers' respect for the princess to Princess Ping'an, and the rest of the emotions are not at all." Song Yushi's gaze is dodging, this is his usual performance, as long as he lies, he can't look at people.

"I'll just give you one chance, and then I'll say it again." Rotten wood cannot be carved, this is the only thought in Xue Chen's heart, admitting that he likes a person, in the eyes of Song Yushi, it is such a difficult thing?

"Okay, I admit that I like Princess Ping'an, but princess she is bent on you, where will I have a chance." Song Yushi was full of grievances, if it weren't for his relationship with Xue Chen, he would definitely classify this person as his enemy.

Xue Chen breathed a sigh of relief, "Where is my mind, you don't know it, why bother yourself so much." By the way, have you ever seen Princess Ping An these days? ”

"I've met a few times, and most of them sneaked out of the palace to find me to get a script." Song Yushi's face was dyed with a little happiness, probably because he thought of the scene when he met Princess Heian.

"That's it?" Looking at Song Yushi's expression, it's not just as simple as taking a script.

As if his mind had been punctured, Song Yushi's face turned red, and he pretended not to care about changing a piece of paper and grinding it again, "Occasionally talk about it." ”

"What do you think, what is Princess Ping'an's impression of you, and has she ever mentioned me in front of you these days?"

The emperor has always only not objected to Princess Ping'an chasing Xue Chen, but he has never wanted the two to marry so directly, and now that his attitude has changed greatly, there should always be some opportunities.

Song Yushi thought for a moment, and shook his head in Xue Chen's expectant gaze.

"Speak well!" Xue Chen replied very politely.

"I mean, I don't know the impression, and I haven't mentioned you."

"In that case, then let's try Princess Ping'an's mind first, and see if she has you in her heart, do you want to know?" Xue Chen had a plan, and his eyes were clear.

Song Yushi nodded, but still reminded, "But you can't do anything to hurt the princess, otherwise I'll be done with you." ”

"She's a princess, and if she wants to hurt, I'll be hurt!" Xue Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes, and began to protect him before he confirmed his intentions, he was really together, and he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to speak.

"Then I'm relieved, how are you going to try?"

"I'll go into the palace to meet the princess in a while, find a time to ask her to go to Ge'er's restaurant for dinner, you go too, then you ignore her, if she cares about you, she should be sad, and I'll know when the time comes."

Song Yushi understood, and couldn't help but ask more, "If she is not sad, then I have no chance?" ”

"If this is the case, then the emperor's marriage is because of the princess's request, and I will have to refuse." In any case, Xue Chen would not agree to this marriage, and what he is doing now is just to know why the emperor did this.

"Okay!" The matter has come to this point, and Song Yushi can't say anything.

Coming out of the Song Imperial Mansion, Xue Chen went directly to the palace of Princess Ping'an.

In the palace of Princess Ping'an, Xiao Tang was standing in the courtyard and pointing at the two little palace maids and saying something, like that, there was really a little bit of the shadow of the princess.

It's really black who is close to ink, Xue Chen smiled secretly, stood outside the palace gate and said to the guards, "Please inform Princess Ping'an, Pingnan Marquis Xue Chen asks to see you." ”

The voice was neither high nor low, Xiao Tang, who was training people in the courtyard, could hear it, she stood on tiptoe and looked at the door, instantly raised her voice, and shouted as she walked towards the palace, "Princess, come out quickly, Pingnanhou is here." ”

"How many times have I told you, don't make a lot of noise in the palace, the next time you do this, I'll find someone to sew your mouth." Princess Heian's voice came from the palace, with a little irritability.

Then there was another silence, followed by an exclamation, "What are you talking about, Xue Chen is here?" ”

Xiao Tang's voice was drowned out by a burst of footsteps, and before Xue Chen could come back to his senses, Princess Ping'an was already standing at the gate of the palace and waved her hand at the guards, "Next time Pingnanhou comes, you don't need to inform the palace, just invite you in." ”

Princess Ping'an was light on the surface, but she couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, she raised her eyes and peeked at it several times, looking at Xue Chen, who she hadn't seen for a long time, only to feel that the deer in her heart seemed to jump again.

Since the last time she made it clear to Xue Chen, Princess Ping'an has made up her mind to give up her love for Xue Chen, but it is not so simple to do, not to mention that the emperor said those words to her two days ago, and the small flames that are about to be extinguished in her heart seem to have signs of revival.

Seeing that Xue Chen in front of her was still handsome and chic, she hadn't seen her for a long time, and her charm was even more than before, Princess Ping'an suddenly regretted that she promised so easily last time, especially when she heard people in the court say that the emperor wanted to marry the two of them, so she had been looking forward to seeing Xue Chen.

Now that Xue Chen has come to her palace, did she agree to the emperor's marriage? Thinking of this, Princess Ping'an couldn't help laughing, completely forgetting that Xue Chen was still standing in front of her, and her face was not good.

"Your Royal Highness, Weichen is on the order of the emperor to visit the palace." Xue Chen bowed and saluted, and from beginning to end, he didn't look at Princess Ping'an.

"Uh, excuses, excuses." Princess Heian came back to her senses in an instant, hurriedly answered, turned around and walked towards the palace.

In Princess Ping'an's palace, Xue Chen didn't come often, so he wasn't familiar with it, and when he saw her leave, he hurriedly followed her footsteps, not wanting to fall too behind.
