"Yan'er is here?" Empress Zhou sat at the table, raised her head and said.

"Yes." I hurriedly replied, "Yan'er meets the queen." ”

"Xuan'er also visited her aunt." Li Xuan said with a hippie smile: "Why does Auntie only look forward to Yan'er, not Xuan'er?" ”

"You little slippery." Empress Zhou couldn't help laughing.

The big palace maid beside her helped Queen Zhou down from the seat and walked over.

Empress Zhou picked up my face, looked at it carefully, then glanced at Li Xuan and said, "Yan'er is really handsome, no wonder Li Xuan begged his father so much." ”

"King Tranquility?" I said inexplicably, "What is the matter with King Jing?" ”

"Don't you know?" Empress Zhou motioned to the palace maid beside her and said, "Ziling." ”

"Yan'er." Ziling cleared her throat and said, "King Jing and Princess Jing have been worrying about the marriage of the prince. After the day and night banquet, I drew up a roster of several young ladies for the prince to choose, but the son... If you don't agree, you have to ......"

"Sister Ziling!" Li Xuan hurriedly shouted: "Queen Mother, didn't you ask us to enter the palace to make peace?" Other... Give ......"

As soon as I heard it, I understood most of it in my heart, it must be this Li Xuan's excuse that I didn't want to get married.

"You don't want to get married, why are you pulling me out to block it?" I said dissatisfied.

"Yan'er, you misunderstood." Li Xuan hurriedly said.

"Misunderstanding what? So what's going on? ”

"It's... Alas, I told my father that you would not marry. Li Xuan said: "But what I said was true. ”

……………… I was stunned when I heard it, although Li Xuan said that he had expressed his admiration for me many times, but as a cat, I always felt that he was addicted to words and couldn't extricate himself, and now suddenly like this, it was really beyond my expectations.

"Li Xuan, you go out first." Empress Zhou said.

"Auntie!"

"Go ahead." Ziling pushed Li Xuan out of the room.

Seeing that everyone had gone out, Queen Zhou came over and pulled me to the couch and asked, "After the New Year's ceremony in the palace yesterday, King Jing and his wife came to the palace and wanted the palace to be a matchmaker for you and Xuan'er. ”

I looked at Empress Zhou with wide eyes, not knowing what to say.

"But Hongu still wants to hear what you mean." Empress Zhou said.

"I... I do not know. I hesitated and said, "Somewhat suddenly." ”

On the one hand, this incident is really too sudden, and I never wanted to get married, on the other hand, Li Xuan's feelings for me always make me feel that it is just a continuation of the story, and I am very worried about whether this relationship is really sincere and lasts.

Queen Zhou smiled and said: "Then wait a little longer, don't rush this time, this matter should have been carefully considered, your parents are no longer there, and the marriage should be cautious." ”

I nodded gratefully.

Empress Zhou touched my face behind her and said, "The first time I saw you in this palace, I felt very cordial and familiar. Before entering the palace, there was also a niece, if she was still alive, she would be your age. ”

"She... Dead? ”

Queen Zhou smiled and said, "No, but I haven't seen you for many years." When I see you, I think of her, especially these eyes, which are very similar to her, if you don't dislike it, you can also call me aunt. ”

"Auntie...... Mother. I exclaimed hesitantly.

"Hey."

"Auntie." Tears flowed down my eyes.

Ever since I started wandering, no one has been so kind to me, and although Li Xuan has always been kind to me, Queen Zhou has cared for me just as much as my mother has done for me.

"Silly girl." Queen Zhou wiped my tears and said, "Li Xuan is a good boy, if you want to know it one day, tell your aunt, but if you don't like him, don't worry, just tell your aunt." ”

"Hmm." I nodded hurriedly.

"How did your parents die?" Empress Zhou asked again.

"They... My father... I was killed by thieves, and my mother fell off a cliff when I was on the run. I choked up and said, "My mother told me to keep running, and I ran to Weiguo." ”

I still hid my identity and told the story of what happened.

Actually, my father was killed by my mother to protect me. And my mother did jump off the cliff herself to protect me.

After Queen Zhou heard this, her eyes were also filled with tears.

"Yan'er, don't worry, your aunt will protect you in the future." Empress Zhou said, "Where do you live now?" ”

"Staying at a friend's house."

"There are still some properties outside my aunt's palace, and I will ask Ziling to send a few people to take you to your aunt's house to have a look, and you will live there in the future." Empress Zhou said.

"The Emperor... Aunt. I hurriedly said, "It's good that I'm staying at a friend's house." ”

"No matter how good it is, it's not your own home, you don't have to worry." Empress Zhou said: "Ziling will not interfere in your affairs, as long as you know that you have a place to settle no matter what." ”

"Yes, Aunt Xie."

Empress Zhou smiled and called Ziling and the others in.

"Xuan'er." Queen Zhou said, "Do you know how old Yan'er is? ”

"How old?" Li Xuan asked inexplicably: "But it's the year of Jilu." ”

"Not yet." Queen Zhou said: "It will take another year for Yan'er to reach the year of Jilu, and it is still a little early to talk about marriage." I will tell your father not to rush you for the time being, and I will talk about it again next year. ”

"Yes." Li Xuan said happily: "Thank you, Auntie, I'm not in a hurry, I can wait for Yan'er when she gets married." It's just that my father and mother are too anxious, and I hope my aunt can convince them. ”

"Well, don't worry." Empress Zhou said with a tired face: "You guys go back first." ”

"Yes." The two of us saluted and said goodbye.

———

After leaving the Changqiu Palace, I walked out with a displeased face.

"Yan'er!" Li Xuan caught up and said, "Are you blaming me? ”

"Hmph."

"Yan'er, Yan'er. Can you forgive me? Li Xuan chased after me and said, "I am indeed a little anxious today, but I have to wait for you not to marry, and it will be like this for many years." ”

"Really?"

I stopped and looked at Li Xuan.

"Absolutely." Li Xuan said with an oath.

"It's not because I'm ...... Not because of the script? ”

"It's not." Li Xuan hurriedly explained: "Could it be that Yan'er, you misunderstood because of this?" I'll admit that it was true that I wanted to get close to you at first because of the influence of the script, but... Later I did like your personality and liked you as a person. ”

"What if you meet a fox demon one day?" I asked defiantly.

"That's... Then I already have Yan'er, what about the tiger demon? ”

I burst out laughing.

"Yan'er, you're pretending!" Li Xuan said.

"Hahaha." I laughed back and forth: "You idiot." ”

"Yan'er~" Li Xuan was about to pinch my face, and I hurriedly ran forward.

"Miss Yan'er!" Ziling's voice sounded behind him.

"Sister Ziling."

"The slave will wait for you at the Reading Pavilion at noon tomorrow." Ziling whispered in my ear and bowed and left.

"What did she say?" Li Xuan asked in confusion.

"It's fine."
