As soon as the Emperor's words fell, another voice followed.

Yan Minglan's expectations also turned into bubbles.

"The courtiers have come at the king's command to make deals and communicate with their own monarchs, and they have a personal matter to attend to."

It was really Qiao Tianshuo's, as always, it was a slightly cold voice, which was very beautiful in the ears.

The emperor looked at the foreign man under him with a surprised face: "Private matter? I didn't expect King Shuo to have an old acquaintance in my kingdom? ”

As the monarch of a country, the emperor could not help but develop some conspiracy theories in depth, and his mind wandered away, thinking about what the neighboring king Shuo could do in his country.

Qiao Tianshuo nodded and replied, "Yes." ”

Seeing that the emperor sitting on the dragon chair showed interest, he pondered for a moment before continuing.

"The minister came to his country to fulfill his promise, because a woman rescued this king half a year ago, and this king promised to marry her."

The emperor immediately broke off his original thoughts, was forcibly pulled back to his senses, patted the armrest of the dragon chair, laughed for a while, and said with a smile.

"Originally, I also wanted to marry the princess of my country to the prince to continue the good of Qin and Jin, but I didn't expect that King Shuo already had a candidate for the princess, so I wouldn't be good at beating mandarin ducks."

"Thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness."

Qiao Tianshuo hooked the corners of his lips and responded.

Yan Minglan outside the hall was rightly spoken, standing in place with a stiff body, inexplicably weak.

But, apparently, she didn't do anything.

Yan Minglan didn't think about the poor fourth prince anymore, and continued to listen to the movements inside quietly.

It's a pity that the sound of the conversation later became indistinct, and Yan Minglan didn't hear any useful information.

Yan Minglan looked at the long steps outside the hall outside, and waited for about half an hour before Qiao Tianshuo came out.

Yan Minglan subconsciously set her eyes on Qiao Tianshuo, and then realized something, and quickly took it back.

Qiao Tianshuo didn't show the slightest surprise as if he knew that she was waiting outside, and didn't even look at her when he passed her, but when he left, he was in a state of rubbing shoulders and hands with her.

When the little eunuch guarding the door saw this scene, he thought that he was in the way, so he deliberately let out some way to the side.

At this time, Gonggong Xi came out and said to Yan Minglan with a smile: "Yan Guan's family, Your Majesty is invited." ”

"There is Father-in-law Lao."

Yan Minglan followed Gonggong Xi to the inner hall, she stopped for a moment, only shrunk her hand into her sleeve, and then continued to walk inside.

The emperor just put down the teacup in his hand, and when he saw her walk in, he immediately had a expressionless face, which made Yan Minglan a little confused.

"At three o'clock in the afternoon, the messenger came to report to me about your itinerary for the morning."

Yan Minglan only nodded in agreement, because the emperor's attitude was slightly uneasy, in the hands of the emperor who held the power to kill, small things could also become big things.

Yan Minglan also rubbed the things in her palm a little uneasily.

To the touch, it looks like a note.

The Emperor continued: "The ambassador told me that you are knowledgeable. ”

At this moment, the expression on the emperor's face suddenly relaxed, and the original serious atmosphere disappeared without a trace, revealing a pleasant smile, like a kind little urchin.

"Yan Qing's daughter can really be compared with him, give me a long face and give your father a long face, your father is in the spirit of the sky, and he has no regrets......"

Yan Minglan was slightly fugue.

"Okay, Minglan girl, go back, it's not too early."

When Yan Minglan heard this, Yan Minglan accepted the emperor's imperial reward and walked to the outside of the palace, and she shrank her left hand all the way, not showing it.

After getting into the carriage, Yan Minglan put those royal rewards aside at will, and after confirming that they would not be broken, she stopped caring about them.

Yan Minglan stretched out her hand and looked at the thing she was holding in her palm, which was what Qiao Tianshuo had stuffed into her hand when she left before.

It was indeed a note, a small, light note like a butterfly's wing.

Yan Minglan thought quietly twice, not knowing what Qiao Tianshuo would write.

Meet up with yourself?

The note was very thin and small, and Yan Minglan was afraid that she would tear it with a force, so she opened it very carefully and carefully.

"You can always come to me if you have something."

In the native language, the strokes stand crookedly on the note.

Yan Minglan still relied on guessing to recognize it all.

Yan Minglan's first thought after reading it - in the future, let's use Qiao Tianshuo's national language to communicate, at least my own writing is much better than his, and it can be easily recognized.

Yan Minglan looked at the note again and again, and found that there was really nothing else, only these eight words.

Yan Minglan was a little disappointed and had some undue expectations, she folded the note and put it away.

She leaned into the carriage and closed her eyes.

Yan Minglan began to think crankily again.

Maybe it's useless to escape, what she needs is time to sort out these things, and at the moment, Aunt Zhang and others are more important.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, Yan Minglan burned the note with a candle, leaving only a piece of scattered ash.

The candle flame was reflected on Yan Minglan's slightly cold face, swaying and colorful.

Yan Minglan cleaned up the ash stains, leaving no traces.

If it is discovered by others, Yan Minglan has had close contact with a foreigner, if Yan Minglan is suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason, it will be bad, and it is better to be careful.

As for whether to ask Qiao Tianshuo for help, I will talk about it in the future, but I am not in a hurry now.

Yan Minglan emptied herself and immersed herself in the sea of books, not thinking about these disturbing things

。

There was a small world surrounded by neatly arranged bookshelves, and the machine spirit Xuanwu stayed aside, not disturbing her, but observing, and found that Yan Minglan had returned to her former appearance, and she was quite relieved to turn in circles.

The host is really picky, and the recovery ability of human beings is very fast, Xuanwu thought.

Day by day, day by day, day and night alternated, and when autumn came, the weather became cooler and cooler, and the people who worked were more relaxed.

Yan Minglan and his day are getting closer and closer, and with it, the wedding date set by Yan Minglan and the third prince Wei Chi Jingxuan is getting closer and closer.

Aunt Liu's Yan Ruoxi was also troubled by Aunt Zhang's troubles everywhere, and she was too busy to take care of herself, so she had no time to sabotage the matter for the time being.

Inside the Royal Palace.

Chi Jingxuan, the third prince, was in front of the desk, his body was slightly bowed, his hand was holding a red pen and waving his elbow, he was practicing calligraphy in a vain attempt to calm his mind.

In the past, my father often praised him for his excellent handwriting, similar to others, with bones and knots, and the pauses were just right, which can be called a fine product.

But now on the white paper pressed under the paperweight, the handwriting is so messy that it is impossible to read, and if my father sees it here, he will reprimand him mercilessly, reprimand him for being wrong-minded, and happy and angry.

Wei Chi Jingxuan felt even more upset when he thought of this, he was in a bad mood, so he wanted to find anger in others, and glanced at the little eunuch who had been standing next to him for a long time but didn't say a word.

The little eunuch didn't know that he was going to become a punching bag, and he hadn't read the allusion that the fire at the city gate affected the fish in the pond, he just had a physiological fear.

However, the little eunuch knew that His Highness was asking, pursed his lips that were dry due to nervousness, lowered his head and reported quickly: "A moment ago, someone came from the front hall to inform His Highness that he was preparing to marry the eldest lady of the Yan family. ”

The little eunuch quickly added: "An hour ago, Kunning Palace also sent someone to remind this matter. ”

The little eunuch didn't hear the third prince's order to let him go, and continued to stand in place with trepidation.

"Get down!" Wei Chi Jingxuan shouted at the little eunuch.

The little eunuch didn't dare to make a sound, and rolled out of the study quickly.

The expression of the third prince just now was really ......, and the little eunuch looked scared.

The little eunuch thought of the eldest lady of the Yan family who was going to marry the third prince soon, and sighed in his heart.

The eldest lady of the Yan family is so miserable, the little eunuch thought to himself.

Wei Chi Jingxuan's face in the study was covered with haze, making people feel that the dark clouds were pressing down.

Yu Chi Jingxuan thought strangely, what did his father and queen mother want to promote him to Yan Minglan, so what is good about Yan Minglan?

Wei Chi Jingxuan originally had some changes in her at the dinner party to welcome the envoys and appreciated her talents.

However, the marriage contract with Yan Minglan is approaching, so that this not strong emotion is consumed very little.

Yan Minglan's life experience is not outstanding in the entire capital, and it is not for nothing that she is better than her family and good looks.

So why did he marry such a princess who had no effect, a princess who couldn't give him any help, what was the use of marrying him?

The princess has no strong family background and no money, how can she help him ascend the throne in the future?

Why did the promise of the father and the emperor and Yan Lao be added to himself?

Wei Chi Jingxuan had a headache.

No matter how bad it is, the prince and the second brother are okay, and the fourth brother, even if they don't like the fourth brother, why can the prince and the second brother stay out of the matter!

It's not fair!

The father is still so partial, he must not give him a noble girl with a better family background, in order to balance the distance between himself and the prince.

Yu Chi Jingxuan tore up the blank paper with handwriting all over it.

But Wei Chi Jingxuan didn't dare to break the ornaments in the house, those things were all registered and marked in the warehouse, and disappearing for no reason would cause trouble in vain.

If his father knew that he was dissatisfied with his father's decision and smashed something, I am afraid that things would be even worse.

Wei Chi Jingxuan calmed down a little, and ordered his subordinates to prepare the things needed for the marriage, and only did superficial work to delay the time to deal with it, and he paced back and forth in the study thinking of countermeasures.

How can you change to a princess who is a little useful?

Yan Minglan was also irritated by this matter.

Yan Minglan thought of the conversation when she left the palace a few days ago, and was stopped by Qiao Tianshuo on the way back to the house.

Qiao Tianshuo entered the carriage of the Yan family, did not look at Yan Minglan politely, and looked straight at Yan Minglan, his eyes made Yan Minglan a little unbearable.

"Do you really want to marry Wei Chi Jingxuan?" Qiao Tianshuo asked her, the gentleman's attitude, the voice was still cold in a unique style, but this time there seemed to be some apprehension, looming nervousness.

Yan Minglan seemed to hear it, and she lowered her eyes thoughtfully and remained silent.

Yan Minglan has lost count of how many times this is the first time this month, Qiao Tianshuo always catches and asks her this question from time to time, persistent and stubborn, it seems that she will never give up without getting an answer, and the coldness in front of outsiders has completely disappeared.

Regarding Qiao Tianshuo's tough attitude, and Yan Minglan could only try to dodge, the time was too tight, it was too late, and there was no way to regret and change.

Yan Minglan didn't want to give Qiao Tianshuo hope and disappoint him, in that case, it would be even more cruel than now, she got and lost, just like she suddenly lost her parents, what a painful thing, it's better to cut through the mess quickly.

"You're still ...... Think again. ”

Yan Minglan watched Qiao Tianshuo leave again, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief, she was afraid that if Qiao Tianshuo continued to stay here, she would not be able to hold on.

At that point, it's really over.

But since that day, Qiao Tianshuo has not appeared in front of Yan Minglan's eyes again.

Yan Minglan sat with her knees crossed, thinking wildly.

Qiao Tianshuo gave up?

……

Related questions are popping up in a gussile stream.

Yan Minglan buried her head deep in her knees, and exhaled a depressed breath vigorously, as if she was spitting out her troubles that she couldn't figure out.

In a famous restaurant in Beijing, Qiao Tianshuo drank the last bit of wine in the wine jug, went downstairs, settled the account with the shopkeeper, and walked aimlessly on the street.

His obvious exotic ancestry and outstanding appearance attracted bold stares from passers-by, and some women leaned on the railing with ambiguous eyes and whispers.

Frowning uncomfortably, Qiao Tianshuo sneered in his heart.

What about the reserved etiquette in the national characteristics and customs? It turned out to be so presumptuous!

After standing there and thinking for a moment, he decided to go back first and make other plans.

Suddenly, a scream sounded, as if it was about to penetrate the eardrums.

Qiao Tianshuo was disturbed by this scream, and reflexively looked over and saw a very thrilling scene.
