Xiao An saw Xiao Yao's denial, his heart was relieved, and he said with a smile: "Not long after I came to the capital, I also know that the six princes like the lord of Mingzhu, the fifth prince and the ninth prince, and they are not unmoved. Childe can't ruin his future because of the lord of Mingzhu. ”

After Xiao Yao was furious, he calmed down.

He actually had a good impression of the lord of Mingzhu, but the sixth prince was his best friend and confessed his heart to him, and he was unwilling to win people's love.

Besides, he has decided to assist the six princes, how can he win over his sweetheart?

However, now that there are rumors outside, if he doesn't come forward, wouldn't it be a matter for the county lord of Mingzhu to bear the rumors alone?

"Come on, prepare the horse, I want to enter the palace!"

Xiao An was puzzled: "Childe, what are you doing in the palace?" ”

"Of course, it's to make amends, and ask for relatives!"

After Xiao Yao finished speaking, regardless of Xiao An's stunned expression, he strode out.

Imperial City, Yinghua Palace.

Xiao Chengzi is reporting to Yan Rongling: "Master, now there are rumors outside, all of them say that the county lord has lost his reputation, and Xiao Gongzi is still unwilling to be responsible." The words were so bad that the minions did not dare to say them, for fear of dirtying your ears. ”

Yan Rongling was copying the folded hand, and a drop of thick ink fell on the snow-white rice paper, smudging a cloud of ink.

"Do you know who sent the news?"

Xiao Chengzi bowed his head and replied, "Back to the master, it should be the princess of Runan County." However, the princess of Runan County entered the palace and met the queen's mother. ”

"Empress Jiang, what is this?"

Yan Rongling muttered to himself, and when Xiao Chengzi next to him saw this, he guessed in a low voice: "Master, the queen mother has ruined the reputation of the county lord, is she afraid that the county lord will not marry the Nine Emperors, but marry other princes?" ”

"Is she trying to force Mingzhu to marry Xiao Yao? She daydreams. ”

Yan Rongling scoffed, the Mingzhu and Empress Dowager Zhong he knew were not people who cared about gossip. Not to mention that because of rumors, he will marry Mingzhu to Xiao Yao.

"What about Xiao Yao? Can you enter the palace? You go and spread the news and let him enter the palace immediately. ”

Xiao Chengzi took the order and left, but met Xiao Yao who was in a hurry at the palace gate, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Xiao, our master is invited." ”

"It just so happens that I also entered the palace to find the Sixth Prince."

Xiao Yao strode in, Yan Rongling was taking a piece of paper again to copy the fold, and saw Xiao Yao coming. said with a smile: "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived." ”

"I've seen the Six Princes."

"Xiao Yao, didn't you say that you don't have to be polite? Just call me Rong Ling, you came at the right time, my father has already ordered to quietly execute Miyoko and Sangmu. But the third brother, the father said that there is no direct evidence to prove the third brother's treason. ”

Yan Rongling beckoned Xiao Yao to come over to see the twists and turns, but Xiao Yao bowed his hand and said, "Sixth prince, Xiao Yao came here today to report something." ”

"Okay, sit down and say, Xiao Chengzi serves tea."

Yan Rongling looked up at Xiao Yao, only to find that his thick eyebrows, which had always been stretched, were a little tangled, as if something was wrong.

Xiao Yao was not polite, sat down, and said a little unspeakably: "The situation was urgent that day, in order to save the Lord of Mingzhu, I really didn't think too much about it." Now there are rumors in the capital, and I want to ask the emperor and the queen mother for marriage. ”

Yan Rongling smiled when he heard this: "Xiao Yao, you don't have to be like this. Mingzhu has done a lot of outrageous things, and she won't take this little thing to heart. ”

"The six princes are related to the daughter's family name. Regardless of whether the lord of Mingzhu likes me or not, this pro must be mentioned. ”

Yan Rongling was dumbfounded, in fact, he let Xiao Yao enter the palace, that is, let him ask for marriage, but he couldn't let Mingzhu be ridiculed, saying that there was no one who was willing to be responsible.

"Okay, you go to Cining Palace and ask the imperial grandmother for a kiss, right? However, if the Imperial Grandmother is angry with you, you should not take it personally. ”

Xiao Yao also knew that the Empress Dowager Zhong would most likely not allow marriage, but he also had to try.

"The six princes rest assured, this is natural, I just hope that the six princes know that this is forced by the situation, not my true intentions. The proud daughter of the Lord of Mingzhu County, we can be lucky. ”

Yan Rongling understood what Xiao Yao meant, and smiled generously: "Actually, if Mingzhu really chooses you, I can accept it." ”

Xiao Yao heard the ridicule in his words, and did not explain, but secretly decided that as long as Empress Dowager Zhong did not agree, then he would stay away from the Lord of Mingzhu County in the future.

When Xiao Yao came to Cining Palace, he was left to dry outside for half an hour, and winter and spring were late.

"The slave has seen Uncle Xiao, and the Queen Mother invites you in."

Xiao Yao walked into the hall without squinting, kowtowed and bowed: "Weichen has seen the Queen Mother, Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an!" ”

"Wan Fu Jin'an? This is unaffordable. The mourning family asks you to protect Mingzhu, but you watch her being taken captive. Although I know that you are forced by circumstances, the mourners are still unhappy. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong's dismount and cold words did not stop Xiao Yao.

He made a big salute and said, "All this is the fault of Weichen." When the county lord was taken captive, I had physical contact due to the situation, which damaged the county lord's name. Today, I came to ask for permission from the Queen Mother. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong sat on the throne and looked at Xiao Yao kneeling in the hall, with a graceful demeanor and a jade tree in the wind, and she was also very satisfied in her heart.

However, he said lightly: "There is a reason for this, Xiao Zhuangyuan doesn't have to care." My pearl is not a few gossips, you have to respect the person who marries, you don't have to come to ask for a kiss to be responsible. ”

Xiao Yao kowtowed: "Back to the Queen Mother, Weichen's plea is sincere, and I also ask the Queen Mother to consider Weichen." ”

"Thinking about you? You have a high hall, and your grandmother is alive, and the elders don't speak, can you call the shots? What's more, the major event of marriage is, the order of your parents, the words of the matchmaker, you come to intercede alone, where is the sincerity? ”

Empress Dowager Zhong said coldly, Xiao Yao realized that he had entered the palace on impulse and had forgotten about this stubble.

Busy said: "Back to the Queen Mother, Weichen's parents and grandmother are in Liaodong, this time I will return to my hometown to worship my ancestors and visit relatives, and Weichen will show his elders." Invite the elders to come to the capital to discuss marriage, and Weichen will not treat the lord of Mingzhu with his life. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong nodded secretly, but her face was still cold, as if she was not happy.

Xu said: "Xiao Zhuangyuan, you really don't have to be reluctant. It was you who saved the pearl today, and you came to blackmail Entu to ask for a kiss, so what if it was an ordinary guard? Could it be that the mourning family should also agree to get married? ”

This was out of Xiao Yao's consideration, he was silent for a moment, and secretly regretted that he had not thought about it.

Said again: "Queen Mother, Weichen has no intention of coercing Entu, the disappearance of the county lord of Mingzhu is due to my poor protection and betrayal of the trust of the Queen Mother." No matter what the Queen Mother asks, Xiao Yao will never give up! ”

Empress Dowager Zhong glanced at Xiuchun, and the palace people serving on the side all retreated.

"Xiao Yao, the mourning family knows, you see that there are rumors in the capital now, so you want to come and ask for a kiss, so as not to embarrass Mingzhu, this kindness, the mourning family understands it."
