Chapter Seventy-One: Reciprocity

For a while, the heroine in everyone's mouth caught all the attention.

The emperor had a headache, and when he saw Duanmu Qing like this, it was as if he had seen a turning point.

If Duanmu Qing chooses Han Lingxi, it is okay, when the time comes, as long as he throws down a holy decree, it will not be regarded as a mistreatment of Lao Jiu, and it will be regarded as a good story in front of the world.

However, if she chooses Zhao Yuhong......

The emperor couldn't help frowning slightly, was this a means used by Lao Jiu to win over the Marquis of Yongding?

After the last Lantern Festival riot, the status of the Marquis of Yongding is now thriving, is it because of this that Lao Jiu has set his sights on Duanmuqing?

So at this time, is Duanmu Qing's actions for Han Lingxi or for Zhao Yuhong?

Thinking of this, the emperor has a headache again, should he let Duanmu Qing say it?

The woman kneeling in front of her had a pair of eyes as calm as water, looking pure and flawless, as if the red dust could not be stained at all.

But this is all an illusion, after what happened last time, he has realized that this girl is definitely not simple, so, does she have that ambition?

Looking at the emperor's eyes looking at him, Duanmu Qing couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart, secretly saying that it was not good, but he was afraid that the emperor had already made a decision in his heart and would not let himself say anything.

"Nine Emperor Princes, Qing'er and I are in love, and I ask the Nine Emperor Princes not to intervene."

Han Ling walked to Duanmu Qing's side without taking care of himself, blocking Zhao Yuhong's gaze at her, and a pair of phoenix eyes looked at him coldly.

Everyone knew that Han Ling was unruly, but they didn't expect him to be so arrogant as a proton.

The Emperor did not think it was a fool, and looked at him very earnestly with a pair of eyes, as if to encourage him to continue.

Han Lingxian didn't live up to the emperor's expectations at all, took out something from his arms and threw it in front of Zhao Yuhong, "Qing'er didn't know what the birthday gift you gave before she accepted it, but after finding out, she handed it over to me and asked me to return it to you." ”

I saw a round piece of blood jade jade pendant lying quietly on the hem of Zhao Yuhong's clothes that had been spread out because of kneeling.

According to the custom of Xiqi, unmarried men and women are not allowed to give jade pendants to each other, and jade pendants are given to their loved ones as a matter of love.

Zhao Yuhong never imagined that the things he gave to Duanmu Qing would fall into Han Lingyan's hands, and he returned it to him in this way.

couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Duanmu Qing, but Han Lingxi was between the two at this time, and he couldn't see that pair of expectant eyes at all.

And Duanmu Qing was even more surprised, after Zhao Yuhong gave the box to herself that day, she put it in a place casually, and didn't pay attention to what was inside.

Who knew that it would fall back into Han Lingxi's hands.

Zhao Yuhong knew that Duanmu Qing was not forgotten, if it wasn't given by Duanmu Qing, how could this piece of jade be in Han Ling's hands?

Is she really unintentional about herself? So why help yourself like that?

Everyone was very surprised by these things that happened today, and no one could have imagined that they could see such a good show when they came here.

Seeing that Han Lingxi was actually defending Duanmu Qing like that, An Ning's heart was like fire, "Duanmu Qing, what are you?" A woman who has not left the cabinet actually hooks up with a man like this, it is really a shame for us Xiqi people. ”

Her sudden voice dissolved the awkward silence somewhat.

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as Duanmu Qing opened his mouth and said that it was not Lao Jiu who he liked, then everything was easy to say.

"Duan Hui, what do you say?"

After kneeling for a long time, the emperor asked such a sentence, Duanmu Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, it was too late to say anything at this time.

Han Lingyan clearly calculated everything, and forced himself to marry him.

What the emperor fears most is that the princes form a party for personal gain, secretly sit big, and kick him off the throne.

Han Lingyan seemed to be deliberately pulling Zhao Yuhong and the Marquis of Yongding together, so that it would be impossible for the emperor to agree to her marriage with Zhao Yuhong.

And when Zhao Yuhong said this recently, all her back roads were suddenly cut off, and she could only choose between these two people.

It's just that she is really unwilling.

"The courtiers promised their mothers, but if they don't reach the court, they won't talk about others."

can only use the procrastination trick first, Duanmu Qing sighed in his heart.

"Qing'er, I know about this, don't worry, I will wait until you are ready, but let's ask Your Majesty to give us a marriage first, so that my father can rest assured."

Duanmu Qing blocked his chest in one breath, extremely uncomfortable.

When he said this, he clearly wanted people to misunderstand that they had already been privately taught and received from each other, and at this time they were just singing and talking to each other on the surface.

Duanmu Jun has been following the emperor for more than ten years, although he can't say that he can completely guess the emperor's thoughts, but he can also guess a thing or two.

Obviously, the emperor and the original didn't want Duanmu Qing to marry any prince, and Han Lingyan just grasped this, coupled with Zhao Yuhong's horizontal insertion, his daughter could only marry him at this time.

His eyes kept looking at Han Lingxi, what kind of person is this Dongli Proton? Will he be able to give his daughter happiness?

Thinking of his wife who had passed away, Duanmu Jun felt sad for a while, couldn't her only daughter take care of her?

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say."

Duanmu Jun bowed respectfully, and his expression was very solemn.

It was rare for the emperor to see him have such a firm look, and he seemed to smile and said, "You said yes." ”

"The first room has a quiet temperament, and Weichen met in the countryside, I don't want to be burdened by fame in the second half of my life, and I can't return to the vast sky in my heart, and finally I am depressed, Wechen promised her, no matter what, Qing'er's marriage, Wechen will let her be free, not seeking wealth and nobility, only peace of mind."

Duanmu Jun said without hurry, but the sorrow in his tone was obvious, which made people moved.

Duanmu Qing was very surprised, he has always emphasized moderation, and his father, who is absolutely not prominent, would talk to the emperor like this at this time for his marriage.

Don't seek wealth and nobility, at this time, both Zhao Yuhong and Han Lingxi are considered to be people in the rich field, so doesn't that mean that he is not either?

"Master Hou, please rest assured, Qing'er and I are in love, if I get Qing'er, I will never let her suffer the slightest grievance, if Qing'er likes the life in the countryside, then I will give up everything and accompany her to play between the mountains and rivers."

Han Lingxi's words were like a kind of guarantee, and in front of so many people, the landing could be heard.

Duanmu Qing frowned and looked at him, what the hell was this Han Lingxian going to do.

As if sensing her gaze, Han Ling turned around and looked at Duanmu Qing steadily, "Qing'er, don't worry, as long as you can be my wife, I will definitely meet all your requirements and absolutely not restrict you in anything." ”

Duanmu Qing looked at his eyes, but he couldn't see a trace of falsehood, could he be so good at acting?

But saying this in front of the emperor means that there is no room for repentance.

"You become my wife, but you are just doing your business in a different capacity, and it will not implicate the Yongding Marquis Mansion, we will benefit from each other."

Han Lingyan suddenly leaned closer and muttered in Duanmu Qing's ear.

Unexpectedly, he would do this in front of the emperor, Duanmu Qing was surprised in his heart, but when he heard his words, he was thoughtful.

A pair of eyes fixed on him, can you trust him?

But at this point, she really has no way back.

Others couldn't hear the conversation between the two of them, and only felt like a pair of young people muttering and indescribable intimacy, so they believed that they had already had a personal affair between them.

All of a sudden, all sorts of ideas came to mind.

Duanmu Zi didn't know why, a burst of pleasure rose from the bottom of her heart, in her eyes, Han Lingyan was useless at all except for being good-looking.

It's just a proton sent by Dongli, not only does he have no status in Xiqi, but even if he goes to Dongli, he is just an unfavored prince.

Duanmu Qing couldn't be better if he married him.

Zhao Yuhong clenched his fists fiercely, he didn't believe in his heart that Duanmu Qing would like Han Lingxi.

This special woman should be his own, and he doesn't know when he started to think about it, although he understands that he shouldn't show the feelings in his heart, it is too dangerous, but he sent the jade pendant out by mistake.

It's just that he never thought that Han Lingyan would propose marriage in public, let alone that at that moment, his heart would be so nervous.

It seems that without thinking about it at all, he said that he wanted his father to give him a marriage.

Sure enough, I discovered my father's suspicions, and such a long-term plan almost came to naught.

Let him no longer dare to act rashly.

It's just that seeing the intimate behavior of those two people at this time, it was like a sharp thorn suddenly grew in his heart, stabbing his heart fiercely.

However, at this time, you can no longer be impulsive, and if you continue to be impulsive, you will only destroy your own plans.

Don't worry, he told himself fiercely in his heart that it was still a long time, and Duanmu Qing would not marry until at least Ji Lu, and at that time, he might not know what kind of changes had already occurred.

Duanmu Jun listened to Han Lingxi's words, and he was a little relieved in his heart, although this man's status is not high, but from Duanmuhe's mouth, his character should be not bad.

The important thing is that he dared to say such a thing in front of the emperor, which can be regarded as putting Qing'er in his heart.

It's just that I don't know what Qing'er thinks, does she have feelings for him?

After the incident between himself and Qiu Tian, Duanmu Jun realized that in fact, it didn't matter what the people outside thought, and the two important people felt happy and happy.

"Hahahaha," it was the emperor who laughed first, "It seems that Aiqing is going to be happy with her son-in-law." ”

This sentence seems light, but it has a sense of heaviness.

Duanmu Jun didn't look very happy, but turned his face to look at Duanmu Qing, and kept asking his daughter with his eyes, as if telling her that if she didn't agree to say it directly.

As soon as Duanmu Qing looked up, he saw his father's eyes like this, and he only felt warm in his heart.

"I didn't expect to promote such a marriage today, but it surprised me, Duanhui Junjun is smart and dignified, not only my son has taken a fancy to her, but Jun Hao also admires her, it can be seen that Aiqing is blessed!"

The Emperor's tone was very happy, as if the marriage had been a cause for him to celebrate.

The smile on Duanmu Jun's face was not very warm, but he humbly thanked the emperor for his marriage.

"Hong'er has a good eye, but Duanhui Junjun and Junhao are in love, the so-called gentleman has the beauty of an adult, how about my father find a woman with both virtue and art for you in the future?"

The matter is a foregone conclusion, where else can Zhao Yuhong say anything, he can only smile and nod, "Thank you for your grace." ”

This is the sorrow of the royal family, Duanmu Qing's heart moved, and he couldn't help but look at Zhao Yuhong, just meeting the complaining eyes he had seen
