The Emperor pulled back his thoughts, looked at Jinyun, and then at the nine-headed monster bird above her head.

Unlike the others, he was not surprised at all when he saw the strange birds.

For a moment, he closed his gaze.

"Who are the two of them?"

Seeing that the emperor was reluctant to say, Xiao Jingyan didn't dare to ask more.

He rolled his eyes, clenched his fists and said, "Back to my father, these two are the benefactors of his sons." If it weren't for them, Erchen would probably not have come back. ”

"Hmph, out of breath. The dignified prince still needs the protection of others! ”

The emperor snorted coldly, and looked at Xiao Jingyan's eyes with displeasure.

But when his gaze fell on Jinyun's body again.

The emotions in his eyes were all collected again.

"Since the two of them are the benefactors of the prince, let's stay in the East Palace temporarily! When I'm busy, I'll pick up the wind for the two of you. ”

With that, the Emperor waved his hand and motioned for them to leave.

Xiao Jingyan and Xiao Jingning bowed to him, and then withdrew from the main hall with Jinyun and Zhao Xun.

As soon as she stepped out of the threshold of the main hall, Xiao Jingning breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the emperor is her father, in her impression, her father always has a straight face.

She has been afraid of him since she was a child, and she didn't dare to speak in the main hall just now.

"Your Highness, why didn't you tell the emperor just now, we are ......"

"Shh

Without waiting for Zhao Xun to finish speaking, Xiao Jingyan made a silent gesture.

He turned his head and glanced at the main hall behind him, and said, "This is not the place to talk, you should go back to the East Palace with the main palace first!" ”

"Good!"

Jin Yun answered and followed Xiao Jingyan in the direction of the East Palace.

As soon as she walked into the East Palace, Xiao Jingning relaxed a little and turned her head to look at Jinyun and Zhao Xun.

"Brother Huang doesn't tell your true identity, because he is afraid that your identity will be exposed, which will cause trouble."

"Not bad!" Xiao Jingyan nodded: "General Zhao guards the border and has set up many enemies in the Guizhou Kingdom.

Although the father will not do anything, it will not spread the matter and cause the dissatisfaction of the generals.

At that time, my father will definitely choose to give up on you in order to appease the generals. ”

Jinyun nodded, secretly thinking that Xiao Jingyan could consider these things for them, and he could indeed be regarded as a good person.

When Zhao Xun heard Xiao Jingyan's words, he was immediately a little deflated.

He originally thought that he would find an opportunity to propose marriage to the Emperor of Qianguo.

But now it seems that it will not work.

After all, Jing Ning is a princess of a country, and he is not sure that she will marry the son of a general.

At present, he can't even reveal the identity of the general's son, so he can only use the identity of an ordinary person to go to the emperor of Qianguo to meet him.

The emperor of Qianguo probably won't even look at him, so how can he marry Princess Jingyan to him!

Zhao Xun was a little frustrated in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

It's enough for him to be distressed alone, and there is no need to affect everyone's mood.

As soon as Xiao Jingyan settled Jinyun and Zhao Xun, the little eunuch hurriedly ran over.

"Your Highness, the emperor wants to see you and let you go quickly."

Hearing this, Xiao Jingyan frowned slightly.

Didn't he come back from the main hall just now, why did the emperor see him again so quickly?

Thinking about it, Xiao Jingyan rolled his eyes and looked at Jinyun and Zhao Xun.

"The people in the East Palace are all personally selected by the palace, and they are all trustworthy. You are here, feel free to do whatever you want. ”

Jinyun bowed slightly: "Your Highness doesn't have to worry about us, go see your father!" ”

"Good!"

Xiao Jingyan answered, turned around and walked out.

As soon as she walked quickly, Xiao Jingning quickly followed.

"It just so happens that I'm going back to my own dormitory, so I'll go out with the imperial brother!"

"Well, let's go!"

……

In the main hall, the emperor paced back and forth, as if thinking about something.

Xiao Jingyan walked in quickly and stopped in front of him.

"I don't know why my father summoned his sons and ministers?"

"Oh, there's a big deal."

The Emperor turned his head to look at him.

Compared with the seriousness just now, his gaze was much softer at the moment, more like a father.

He looks like a loving father, Xiao Jingyan has only seen it when he was very young.

His brow furrowed, and his heart was slightly uneasy.

"You're not too young, it's time to get married. I saw that the girl just now was good and worthy of the position of the crown princess. ”

The emperor's words surprised Xiao Jingyan.

Although he did have an interest in Jinyun, his father only saw Jinyun and raised the matter, which was really unusual.

Could it be that he guessed Jinyun's identity?

Xiao Jingyan lowered his eyes, and his eyes rolled.

Seeing that he was silent, the emperor urged: "Prince, I am talking to you!" ”

"Father's forgiveness, sons can't marry her!"

Xiao Jingyan clenched his hands into fists and buried his head lower.

Regardless of whether his guess was right or not, he couldn't listen to his father's words and marry Jinyun.

First, she only has Gu Ze in her heart, and second, the Qianguo Palace is not a good place.

He married her and kept her in the palace forever, and he harmed her!

Seeing Xiao Jingyan's refusal, the emperor narrowed his eyes.

"Why not?"

"Erchen doesn't like her!"

"I like it, huh!"

The Emperor sneered.

"As a prince, you should know about your marriage, and you can't choose it yourself. I ask you again, will you marry or not? ”

"Don't marry!"

Xiao Jingyan bowed and replied very firmly.

The emperor gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Okay, very good." If you don't want to marry her, then don't be this prince.

Believe it or not, as long as I tell all the princes. Whoever marries her can take your place as crown prince......"

The corners of the emperor's mouth hooked, attached to Xiao Jingyan's ear, and said in a low voice: "There will definitely be many people who are willing to marry her!" ”

When the words fell, the emperor slowly straightened up and looked at Xiao Jingyan.

He wanted to see remorse on Xiao Jingyan's face.

However, Xiao Jingyan just bowed, and said in a calm voice: "Erchen is willing to give up the position of prince." If the father has nothing else to do, the son will retire! ”

With a few words, Xiao Jingyan slowly withdrew from the hall.

The emperor stared at his back and gritted his teeth.

I'd rather give up the crown prince than marry that woman.

He still dares to say that he has no intention of her?

"Prince, Prince, you are my son. Do you think you can hide your little thoughts in front of me? ”

After Xiao Jingyan left the main hall, he quickened his pace.

He returned to the East Palace, came to Jinyun's room, and knocked lightly.

The door wasn't closed.

Jin Yun followed the sound and saw Xiao Jingyan standing outside, slowly walking forward.

"Your Highness is back so soon?"

"Jinyun, leave this alone. This palace has already sent someone to find Zhao Xun, you should leave the country of Qianguo quickly. ”

"Why are you leaving?"

"My father summoned the palace just now and wanted the palace to ...... Marry you. Jinyun, this palace guesses that your father may know your identity. If you continue to stay, I'm afraid it will not be good for you! ”
