"Oh." Tao responded with pity.

Thinking of something, she suddenly asked, "By the way, how is Xu Ying now?" You know what? ”

"She's fine." Qi Yan said, I wanted to tell her that my father pointed out Xu Ying to be his side concubine, but after thinking about it, I gave up again.

Left and right, he only identified Tao Lian alone.

"Give me the box, I'll get it for you." Qi Yan said suddenly.

"Huh?" Tao blinked in bewilderment.

Qi Yan chuckled, "What, I'm afraid I'll snatch your gold and silver jewelry?" ”

Tao Lian understood what he was referring to, and said, "Of course not." She hesitated before giving him the box.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not take a fancy to the gold and silver in her hand.

Thinking about it, she relaxed.

"Let's go." After Qi Yan took the box, he said warmly.

Tao Lian was stunned, "What? ”

"I'm fine, I'll send you out of the palace." Qi Yan glanced at her with a smile.

Tao Lian was flattered, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can send someone to deliver it, you don't have to ...... it personally"

"It's okay, let's go." Qi Yan's voice was unmistakable.

"Oh." Tao Lian wondered in his heart, but he didn't say anything more.

She was bent on leaving the palace, and she didn't think much about Qi Yan's actions at all.

After walking for a while, she saw that the palace gate was outside, her little face showed joy, and she couldn't help but speed up her pace.

Looking at the girl who was walking faster and faster, as well as the palace gate not far away, Qi Yan's eyebrows frowned slightly.

As he stepped out of the palace gate, Tao Lian exhaled.

"Miss!" Yun'er, who was waiting there, immediately greeted him, and when he saw Qi Yan, he was shocked, "The slave has seen the prince." ”

Qi Yanxu raised his hand, "Get up." As he spoke, he handed the box to her, "Help your young lady hold it." ”

Yun'er hurriedly took it.

Qi Yan glanced at Tao Lian, who was like an arrow, paused, took out a box from his sleeve, and handed it to her, "This is a pastry just made in the imperial dining room, you may like to eat it." ”

Hearing that it was food, Tao Lian's eyes lit up, and he reached out to take it, "Thank you, prince." ”

"Huh?" Qi Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Tao Lian came to her senses and poked her sideburns with her fingertips, "For a while...... It can't be changed. ”

"I remember next time." Qi Yan's eyes crossed with a smile.

"Then, I'll go back first." Tao Lian whispered.

"Hmm." Qi Yan nodded.

Tao Lian was overjoyed, pulled Yun'er, and galloped into the carriage.

After sitting in the carriage, she thought of something, and couldn't help but lift the corner of the curtain, looked over, and saw that Qi Yan was still standing there.

He folded his hands, and his dark eyes looked over, as if he knew she was peeking.

Her face burned, and she quickly let go, and the curtain fell, blocking all view.

After the carriage set off, she felt her heart beat so hard that she couldn't help but put her hand on her heart.

"Knock knock!"

Her heart was beating loudly.

"Miss, did the prince personally send you out of the palace?" At this time, Yun'er's curious voice pulled back her chaotic thoughts.

Tao Lian came back to her senses and nodded slightly, "Hmm." ”

Yun'er was overjoyed, "In this way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ...... you"

She had been waiting outside the palace gate, so she didn't know that Tao Lian had been chosen by the crown prince to be the crown princess.

Tao Lian sighed, her little face was a little worried, "The prince chose me to be the crown princess." ”

When Yun'er heard this, she opened her mouth wide in surprise, and it took a long time before she reacted, and said with a happy face: "Miss, this is a great happy event." ”

Tao Lian thought of what Qi Yan had said to her in the pavilion just now, and her sorrow suddenly faded.

In fact, the prince is right, it is really strange to marry a stranger.

If she hadn't married the prince, she would have married someone she didn't know in the future, because she had reached the end of the year this year, and her mother had been helping her find a good family.

She is also familiar with the crown prince, and it seems that it is better to marry him than to marry a stranger.

Thinking about it this way, Tao Lian is not rejected.

Anyway, the prince is very good-looking, and he can still be eye-catching.

Back at Tao Mansion, as soon as Tao Lian stepped into the door of the mansion, she saw her father and mother and second sister waiting there anxiously.

"Dad, mother, second sister." She greeted in a brisk tone.

"Mercy!" Li Shi called urgently, took the lead in meeting her, and looked her up and down carefully, "Are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine." Tao Lian blinked, and still spun around in place.

Hearing this, Li Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

When Tao Ling's eyes swept over the dress on Tao Lian's body, his eyebrows frowned, took her hand, and said to his father, "Let's go talk first." ”

Tao Tian nodded.

Li Shi calmed down at this moment, and no matter how many questions he had, he pressed back.

After entering the front hall, Li couldn't hold back any longer, and asked in Tao Lian's voice, "What's going on?" Why did you fall in love with the prince? ”

When Tao Lian heard this, she knew that the holy decree had been delivered, and seeing that they did not know that she was almost wronged, she breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "I asked the prince, and the prince said that there are so many noble girls, he only knows me, and it is better to choose me than to marry a noble girl he doesn't know as the crown princess." ”

Listening to his daughter's innocent words, Tao Tian smiled bitterly, only if his daughter was so naïve, would she believe the prince's words.

It seems that the prince has long been worried about pity.

He sighed inwardly.

But at this point, he was helpless.

Li and Tao Ling didn't say anything more.

"Father, mother, Pity must be tired, I'll take her back to the yard to rest first." At this time, Tao Ling spoke.

"Go ahead." Tao Tian waved his hand gently.

Tao Ling got up, took Tao Lian's hand, and went back to the courtyard.

After entering the house, Tao Ling retreated, took Tao Lian's hand, and asked with a serious face: "Mercy, what else happened in the palace?" ”

Tao Lian was stunned, "No." ”

"Your dress is not the one you wore when you entered the palace in the morning." Tao Ling reminded.

Tao Lian looked down at the dress on her body, a little deflated, and asked her second sister to find out.

But since the second sister saw it, she didn't hide it anymore.

She told me about the fact that she was almost wronged by the edge of the Taiye Pool.

After Tao Ling heard this, his heart fluctuated with anger, "I can't imagine that Lin Qingru is such a person." ”

Tao Lian pouted, also disappointed, "Yes, she usually treats me well, and often plays together, how would I know that she actually had the intention of harming me." ”

She is not stupid, today's matter, if it is confirmed, she is the murderer who pushed Xu Ying into the water, and she misses the position of the crown princess, she doesn't care, but if this matter spreads, her reputation will be ruined, and her father will ask the emperor for accountability.

Tao Ling calmed down and took her shoulder, "Fortunately, my family is merciful and lucky, and I can have the prince and Wan Jieyu to protect each other." ”

"Yes, the prince and Wan Jieyu are both good people." Tao Lian nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Tao Ling couldn't help but quip: "It seems that Mercy is quite satisfied with the prince's fiancé." ”
