So when King Xu entered Xu Lan's courtyard, his face was no longer indifferent and ruthless when he was in the study before.

If it was Xu Lan in the past, she would definitely be very happy that her father came to see her, but now Xu Lan is indeed chilling in her heart.

She is no longer the innocent girl she was before, so when she saw her father with a smile on her face, Xu Lan just stood up with a smile, blessed, and said: "Father is here, it's the daughter who just got distracted, and she didn't greet her immediately." ”

Yes, Xu Lan has learned to hide her emotions, she is not crying, she is not crying, she is not crying, and she has a standard smile on her face.

King Xu was naturally happy, after all, his favorite was such a person.

As for what Xu Lan is in his heart, he really won't care.

After all, people only care about the thoughts of people who are really powerful, the thoughts of a princess, who will care, even if it is the father of this concubine, they will not take a second look.

When Xu Lan thought of this, her heart became even more sad.

I only heard King Xu say: "Lan'er, are you the most healthy?" ”

Xu Lan Yingying said: "Back to my father, my daughter's body has been well, and my sister has always taken good care of me." ”

Hearing Xu Lan say this, King Xu couldn't help but be even happier: "That's right, your sister has always been well-behaved and obedient, but Lan'er, it's not that your father deliberately embarrassed you, blamed you, and didn't hurt you, it's really Lan'er that you have to change your temper." ”

Speaking of this, King Xu sighed and continued: "You also know that our Xu Wangfu has moved back to the capital, and we must be careful in doing things, and we must not be rash." ”

This time, Xu Lan didn't wait any longer, she lowered her head and said obediently: "Father, my daughter knows, it was my daughter who was willful before, and I didn't say anything about the young lady of the Chu family, and I didn't understand my father's teachings, and I even made my father angry, but now that my daughter understands, she will definitely not do it again." ”

King Xu was the happiest to see Xu Lan like this, and after saying this, he felt that the purpose of his coming today had been achieved, so he stood up, patted Xu Lan's shoulder, and said, "That's good, Lan'er, as long as you are obedient, your father will always love you the most." ”

Xu Lan didn't say anything, just lowered her head and said obediently: "That's natural." ”

After saying this, King Xu probably thought that his loving father had come to an end today, so he nodded and left Xu Lan's courtyard.

And Xu Lan didn't raise her head after King Xu left, she still lowered her head, as if she was very obedient, but only Xu Lan knew it in her heart. Her heart was full of anger and sadness.

After all, no matter which child it is, if his father sees himself again after recovering from a serious illness, he will not be happy if he does not carefully comfort himself with his illness or comfort himself, but warns himself in words and words to keep himself in peace.

It's just that the current Xu Lan is not the previous Xu Lan, if he encountered such a situation in the past, he would definitely make a fuss, and now Xu Lan has learned to lower her head and say obediently: Yes.

However, Xu Lan also knew that King Xu must have come to the door for a reason, he would not come to see a concubine who had fallen out of favor for no reason, thinking of this, Xu Lan called Baizhu over and whispered a few words to Baizhu, Baizhu nodded when he heard this, and went out quietly.

After another period of time, Bai Zhu came back in a hurry, and as soon as he came back, he walked in front of Xu Lan, saluted and said, "Miss, it's over, poke out, what happened today." ”

Saying that, Baizhu told Xu Lan about the morning, Cui He and Ji Chen came to propose marriage.

"What? You mean Ji Chen, he mentioned my relatives to his father? Xu Lan couldn't help but be shocked.

Baizhu also nodded and said: "Yes, every time, Miss, I was also taken aback when I heard it, and after confirming it repeatedly, it is indeed the case, the fourth prince really wants to propose marriage to the prince!" ”

Speaking of this, Bai Shu couldn't help but smile a little on his face, after all, if someone wants her young lady to propose marriage, it means that his young lady is very good.

However, Xu Lan is obviously not as optimistic as Atractylodes.

Xu Lan was originally smart, and after this big change, she is no longer the one she used to be, and she is still a little naïve.

Although Xu Lan's relationship with Ji Chen has eased recently, and there has even been cooperation between the two, Xu Lan also knows that she definitely doesn't have the ability to make Ji Chen marry her, so she actually came to propose marriage.

So what is Ji Chen's purpose for proposing marriage this time? He has always done things with a purpose, and he did not ask to marry his sister, the concubine of King Xu's mansion, but to ask for himself, there must be something in this.

It's just that Ji Chen is not in front of him at the moment, otherwise Xu Lan will definitely ask him well, so although he can only speculate now.

After speculating to no avail, Xu Lan could only sigh and put this matter down, or not, the soldiers would just block the water and cover the earth, and looking at her father's appearance today, although she said that she was not as favored as her sister, she was also a good chess piece in her father's eyes, and she would not marry herself off at will.

And Xu Lan also understood why King Xu suddenly came to see him today, thinking that it was because Ji Chen's matter made him understand his own value, although he was not favored, but after all, as a resource for marriage, it can also be excellent.

Xu Lan, who thought about the whole thing very thoroughly, couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart, after all, which daughter doesn't want to be innocent forever and not ask about the world, because such a daughter must be favored by someone.

Thinking of this, Xu Lan was a little envious of Chu Wan, although she was arrogant and domineering, but there was one thing that took him to heart, the father of a thousand hundred pets, where is like herself, the more Xu Lan thought about it, the more sad she became, and she immediately put down the needlework in her hand, just stood up, and looked up at the branches outside.

This small courtyard is like a cage, trapping itself firmly in it, and I don't know which life I can escape from and find my own world.

Xu Lan is still sentimental about the Spring and Autumn Period here, while Xu Wangye on the other side already has his own plans in the study.

He knows that the situation in the capital is extremely tense now, and every decision he makes will have a great impact, if he accepts Cui He's marriage, then he and King Cui will stand on the same line, if he accepts the prince or Ji Chen, then he will naturally choose the camp of a different prince.

But is now really a good time to start taking sides? King Xu thought about it and firmly believed that it was not.

After all, although the emperor is now seriously ill, he doesn't know if the emperor's illness will be better.

If you stand on the right side, if you stand on the wrong side, it must be a sign that the whole family is going to perish.

King Xu thought about it in the study, and it was not until the evening that he made a decision, he sent someone to call the little servant, wrote three letters by hand, and asked the little servant to send it out.

Seeing the little guy leaving, King Xu sighed in his heart and said, "If this can save the Xu family for a while, it will be a good thing." ”

At the same time, the Prince's Mansion and the Four Princes' Mansion, as well as the Cui Wang's Mansion, all received letters from the Xu Palace, and the letters rejected their relatives without exception. It's just that the reactions of the three people are different.

I saw Cui He pick up the letter with a smile, and after reading it, he sneered and said, "As expected, that old fox doesn't want to go into the water now, he wants to save himself." When King Cui saw Cui He say this, he couldn't help sneering a little: "That's natural, at that time, we underestimated King Xu, we originally thought it was a reckless, but unexpectedly, there was still a bit of the city." ”

Cui He smiled and said: "That's natural, after all, it is a prince today, and it is impossible for people to play with it in the palm of their hands." ”

"Then you still swore that you would let him marry his daughter to you, what? It's a mess now, isn't it? King Cui looked at the last and still had a breezy look, and couldn't help but say.

However, when Cui He heard this, he smiled and said: "Why is my father in a hurry, this is just the first step, and there are still many steps to go afterward, father, you can rest assured, I will definitely let King Xu personally marry his daughter to me." ”

Compared to Cui He's victory, the prince's mansion was in a mess, and he only heard the prince sweep down a cup on the table fiercely, and said breathlessly: "That damn King Xu, I am a prince in my dignity, and I ask to marry one of her daughters, and I dare to refuse me, I really take myself too seriously!" ”

At this time, the staff next to the prince was uncharacteristically calm, and when the prince saw him like this, he couldn't help but get angry and said, "What's wrong?" Are you dumb again? Now that my face has been trampled on the ground, you don't say a word! ”

The staff saw that the prince was so angry, and hurriedly comforted him and said: "The prince should not be angry, this is also a reasonable thing, now King Cui and the four princes marry to the Xu Wangfu at the same time, the Xu King must be difficult to choose for a while, we can no longer press step by step, in case the Xu Wangfu is disgusted, it will not be good." ”

"What's not disgusted, this king's face today has made him step on the ground, I haven't been disgusted yet!" The prince was still very angry.

The more he talked about it, the more angry he became, and he smashed a quilt again, as if this was the only way to let out a bad breath.
