Chapter 53: Deterrence

In the imperial study, the emperor and Xiao Jun were playing chess.

"Aiqing, after playing chess for so long, you don't speak, do you want me to decide for you?" The voice is soft, but it still makes people feel majestic to listen to.

Xiao Jun immediately got up and knelt down, "Your Majesty, the ministers are panicking." Your Majesty, you have a holy decree, and you don't need the opinion of your ministers. It's just that since the emperor has left the old ministers, he must have something to say. ”

"You old fox." The emperor smiled and helped Xiao Jun up, "As far as the country is concerned, of course I hope to fulfill this marriage, but I am afraid that my sister will cry and ask to see her tomorrow." ”

Xiao Jun laughed twice and did not answer.

"The position of the queen of Yuliang Kingdom is also what a scenery." The emperor touched the chess piece and stopped talking.

"The minister knows, the minister will go back to appease his wife, and the old minister will retire."

Xiao Jun walked out of the palace with heavy steps, frowning and not saying a word along the way, he didn't know how to talk to his daughter, Xi'er had made enough sacrifices.

When he returned to the mansion, it was past lunch time, and Yan Moru heard the next person say that the master was back, so he hurriedly greeted him.

"Master, why did you come back so late, and you didn't send anyone to inform you. Mother Lian, tell the kitchen to get some food. ”

"I'll eat in my room, I have something to tell you." Xiao Jun's serious appearance makes people feel worried.

Yan Moru meekly accompanied her husband and returned to the bedroom.

"What is it that caused you to come back so late?" Yan Moru asked while helping her husband change his clothes.

"The emperor deliberately left me in the study and played chess for an hour." Xiao Jun said truthfully, "The saint is kind, and there is a price to pay. ”

Yan Moru was shocked and stopped what he was doing. "What does the emperor want us to do?"

Xiao Jun turned around and held his wife's hand, "Yuliang Guo has come to ask for a kiss." ”

Yan Mo already knew in his heart when he was like this, but he still wanted to hear the answer in person.

"It's our daughter who is begging?" She looked into her husband's eyes and asked with difficulty.

"Yes, it's better." Holding his wife's slightly trembling hands, Xiao Jun could only take her into his arms and give her more support.

"That's my only daughter, how could he do that?" Yan Moru sobbed.

"Yes, it's our only daughter, and no one can understand our heartache." Xiao Jun patted his wife on the shoulder, but what could he do.

"I'm going to the palace tomorrow." Yan Moru raised her head, this was the only way for her.

"What do you think the emperor kept me for?" Xiao Jun's face was sad.

"The emperor won't see you, he wants me to convince you."

"In order to protect this country, he is willing to do anything, let alone our Xi'er. The emperor has no princesses to marry, is there no other family? ”

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, Yan Moru doesn't want to send her daughter to marriage.

"Today, the envoy of Yuliang personally proposed to Xi'er in the court, and he gave him the position of queen."

"It's weird."

"Yes, why does he have to ask Xi'er, what's so powerful about this." Xiao Jun narrowed his eyes, "I've sent someone to inquire." ”

The things in the court are changing rapidly.

"Ma'am, the meal is ready." Mother Lian's voice sounded outside the door.

Yan Moru wiped her tears with a silk handkerchief, "Come in." ”

The girls rushed in with vegetables and fish.

"Master, I'm going to Xi'er's right away, you can eat by yourself." After speaking, without waiting for Xiao Jun to answer, Yan Moru hurried towards Xiyuan.
