"How long are you going to hide?" Xia Zimo asked Qiu Luo Snow Road.

"Weichen didn't hide from Your Majesty." Qiu Luoxue replied.

"Don't talk to me like that, I don't like you like that." Xia Zimo said, he seemed to be a little angry, and pulled Qiu Luoxue's hand hard, forcing her to face to face with him.

"Yes, that's how it should be." Qiu Luoxue replied that she didn't dare to invest too much emotion.

"I said that the relationship between you and me is only above the court, and we are friends in private." Xia Zimo said that his gaze had been fixed on Qiu Luoxue, but the latter avoided his gaze.

"Weichen also said that Your Majesty's status is noble, this friend, the minister can't afford it, so between you and me, there is only the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, and there is no friendship anymore." Qiu Luoxue looked at Xia Zimo.

Her words once again made Xia Zimo sad, with a hurt look in her eyes, and sighed: "It's really ruthless."

"However, why do you say that you will be a friend if you say that you will be a friend, and if you say you don't do it, you will not do it, then what do you think of me? In this world, I have the final say, so I don't allow you to avoid me anymore, and I don't allow you and me to have only the righteousness of kings and ministers before. ”

Xia Zimo approached Qiu Luoxue as he spoke, and if he didn't take a step closer, Qiu Luoxue would take a step back until he touched the table and found that there was no way back. At this time, Xia Zimo was very close to her, and they could hear each other's breathing.

Xia Zimo's eyes were firm and domineering, and there was no room for refusal. He asked her why she did this, and she replied:

"Because I'm afraid. I'm afraid that you will become the focus of the people's discussion because of me, and I am afraid that you will leave a bad image in the history books and be pointed out by the latter. Afraid...... It has become a scourge that has caused His Majesty to lose the country. Qiu Luoxue's eyes looked at Xia Zimo's and said seriously.

"Without you, I am also the focus of the people's discussions, because too perfect, perfect people will always attract envy, so I don't care what is written in the history books, and I don't care how future generations judge." Xia Zimo said, "Also, you are not a disaster, and you will not let me lose the country." I will defend my country. And you just need to stay by my side and be my prime minister. ”

In fact, after listening to Qiu Luoxue's words, Xia Zimo was very happy in his heart, because Qiu Luoxue distanced herself from him not because she hated him, but because she thought about him. This made Xia Zimo both moved and happy.

"But I care, I don't want to hear those rumors." Qiu Luoxue said.

"Then I'll shut them up. If anyone spreads any more rumors about you in the future, they will be killed. Xia Zimo said.

A smile slowly appeared on Qiu Luoxue's face, and she asked, "Your Majesty, are you really planning to develop in the direction of a tyrant?"

"For you, I'm willing." Xia Zimo said affectionately.

"Why? Your Majesty is really a good man, do you like me? Qiu Luoxue asked.

"I'm just ......" Xia Zimo finally coaxed, and did not say his true intentions, but said: "I am good to you just because no one plays chess with me, let's go, go back to the palace to play chess with me."

Under Xia Zimo's initiative, he finally repaired his relationship with Qiu Luoxue. Although he didn't confess because he was afraid that Qiu Luoxue would continue to avoid him after knowing that he liked her. However, the relationship between the two of them has returned to the more intimate relationship before, which seems to be very satisfying for Xia Zimo. After reconciling with Qiu Luoxue, the smile on his face increased again. This is good news for both the ministers of the court and those who serve him. After all, a while ago, they were all living in fear, for fear that Xia Zimo would cut off their heads if they were unhappy.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Qiu, Prince Yan, and Princess Mu are asking to see you outside the palace." Jin Gonggong said.

"Let them in." Xia Zimo said.

After the three of them came in and finished saluting, Xia Zimo looked at them and asked, "Is there something wrong with the three of you coming together?"

"I'm here to see Your Majesty, and the two of them have something to do." Qiu Luoxue replied first, returning to her previous playfulness and rudeness. But she is the real one like this, and she is also the one who attracts Xia Zimo.

"Okay, then you can watch me carefully." Xia Zimo said with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness.

Then he turned his gaze to Xia Ziyan and Su Muyi, and asked, "What's the matter with the two of you?"

"Mu Yi wants to ask Your Majesty to cancel my marriage to Lord Yan." Su Muyi said.

Xia Ziyan also followed and said: "Yes, the younger brother also wants to ask the imperial brother to cancel my marriage with Princess Mu."

Xia Zimo's deep eyes swept over the two of them, and then asked, "Why?"

"Because I don't want to marry Lord Yan." Su Muyi said bluntly.

"And who do you want to marry?" Xia Zimo asked.

"Him." Su Muyi pointed to Qiu Luoxue who was standing on the side without hesitation and said.

As soon as her words fell, Xia Zimo threw a slap in the eyes to Su Muyi, which made her heart tremble, and she thought: Why are you looking at me so terrifyingly, so scared.

"What about you? Why did I cancel my marriage? Xia Zimo asked Xia Ziyan.

"Because I don't want to marry Princess Mu either." Xia Ziyan said aggrievedly.

"And who do you want to marry?" Xia Zimo asked.

"I want to marry ......" Xia Ziyan thought seriously and planned to answer this question, but before he could say it, Xia Zimo interrupted him and said:

"Don't say it, I know, you want to marry my prime minister."

"Who said I was going to marry him?" Xia Ziyan retorted.

Xia Zimo looked at Xia Ziyan with disgust and said, "You said it yourself."

"When did I say that?" Xia Ziyan asked.

"When you were a kid, you said it more than once." Xia Zimo replied.

"Hey~ That's it, how many unreliable things did you do when you were a child." Qiu Luoxue shook her head in disgust and looked at Xia Ziyan and said.

Xia Zimo echoed and said: "That's right, forget about doing unreliable things when you were a child, and you will still do unreliable things when you grow up." What are the words of the two of you when you are me, cancel it if you want to, you don't even take me seriously. When he said this, Xia Zimo deliberately raised his voice and pretended to be angry.

He continued: "No, I must let you know my authority, and next month, no, within this month, you two must get married. Jin Fu, let Feng Changshi choose an auspicious day to come out and let the two of them get married. ”

"Your Majesty/Imperial Brother......" Su Muyi and Xia Ziyan said at the same time, both reluctant voices.

"Go down, go down, don't let me see you until you get married." Xia Zimo didn't want to continue to be annoyed by the two of them, so he waved his subordinates and ordered the guests.

"Hey~ Really, what's going on, people say they don't want to, is this a forced marriage?"

After coming out of the main hall, Su Muyi complained, and when she saw Xia Ziyan beside her, she glared at him angrily, and said: "It's all your fault, what do you say that the imperial brother spoils you, I will definitely agree, it's good now, it's already time to choose a date, what should I do, I really don't want to marry you." The angry complaint eventually turned into a pitiful tone.

"I really don't want to marry you." Xia Ziyan said mercilessly.

"That's best, no matter what method you use, you must ask your imperial brother to cancel the marriage gift to us, otherwise if I marry you, I will definitely make your palace restless." Su Muyi warned that she was a ruthless, unreasonable and willful princess, and she did what she said.

"Without your help, my palace is already restless." Xia Ziyan said, revealing a little helplessness in his tone.

Yanwang Mansion

"The person the prince loves the most is me, you little sluts who don't know the height of the sky, and you still want to compete for favor, it's really beyond your strength."

"Heh, what do you say about your favorite person, after the prince brought you back to the mansion, he never let you sleep, who are you showing off in front of? It's shameless. ”

"Who do you say is shameless?"

"Say you."

"I actually said that I was shameless, see if I don't tear your mouth."

In the Yanwang Mansion, the two women who showed off each other changed from the initial battle of words to a fight and a scuffle together. You grabbed my hair, I pulled your clothes, and the scene suddenly became lively. The maids around him and the subordinates of the palace all went to persuade the fight, and somehow they were also involved in the fight.

The other people who rushed to hear the news also rushed up to persuade when they saw this scene, and for a while the sounds of fighting, persuasion, crying, and discussion were mixed together, like a multi-part chorus.

……

"Your Majesty, do you really plan to let the two of them get married?" Qiu Luoxue asked.

"Is my words a joke?" Xia Zimo asked rhetorically.

Qiu Luoxue looked at his expression, shook her head and said, "Not like it."

"But the emperor, the two of them don't like each other, and they will definitely not be happy if they get married, don't you really need to think about it again?" Qiu Luoxue tried to persuade.

"The marriage of the royal family is never just about liking." Xia Zimo said in a flat tone.

Qiu Luoxue thought about it, the marriage of the royal family was used to maintain politics, and most marriages in ancient times were also the words of the matchmaker at the behest of the parents, and there was no choice at all. Xia Ziyan and Su Muyi are better, they saw each other before they got married, and there are many people who don't see their marriage partners until the night of the candle in the cave room, which is even worse.

"yes." Qiu Luoxue said a little deflated.

"But is it really okay for the two of them to get married? A merry prince, a rude and willful princess...... No matter how you look at it, I don't think it's a good fit. In addition, there are so many side concubines and concubines in the Yanwang Mansion, and they are coaxing all day long, oops, really, I feel pitiful when I think about it. ”

Qiu Luoxue seems to have met Xia Ziyan's miserable life after that. But this is also to blame himself, who let him have nothing to do with raising so many women in the mansion.

"It's like that, really." Xia Zimo said.

"Ah, yes, there are not a few concubines in the emperor's harem, and the phenomenon of competition for favor is more serious." Qiu Luoxue also cast a sympathetic look at Xia Zimo.

Xia Zimo looked at Qiu Luoxue and said, "Don't look at me with that expression."

"Ah, the eyes." Qiu Luoxue rubbed her eyes as she spoke, changing her eyes. Also, Xia Zimo doesn't need her sympathy, after all, he is the emperor.
