Today, Xu Ling was wearing a sky blue long suit, covered with a white gauze robe, and a strap around her waist was decorated with several gems. She looked gorgeous and elegant. She was casually tied up with a few hairpins and inserted into a diagonal manner, looking noble and elegant. With a beautiful and elegant face, she looked like a flower that had just bloomed, beautiful and charming.

She looked at the young master in front of her, and saw that his eyebrows were picturesque, his lips were red and white, his nose was straight, his eyes were slightly raised, and his eyes were slightly raised, revealing a bit of romantic feeling, which made him look extremely charming, and the playful smile on the corners of his mouth made him look very evil.

His shy eyes drooped slightly, as if it had been aroused for a long time before he finally made up his mind. Xu Ling took out a neatly folded paper from his sleeve and gently placed it in front of Zhao Xiaonian.

This was somewhat unexpected.

This seems to be a letter sent to her by accepting Xu Yuan’s entrustment!

"Let me see?" There was still a hint of doubt, and Zhao Xiaonian asked her in a solicitation tone.

Perhaps because he was too shy, Xu Ling did not answer, but responded softly: "Yes."

She was shy and her face turned red, but her eyes were filled with more anticipation.

This is interesting. It is rare to see such a cold lady with such an expression, as if she was a shy peony. She had already bloomed, but she still wanted to lower her head shyly.

Zhao Xiaonian reached out, opened the letter, and read it carefully...

Suddenly, his face changed and he couldn't help but lower his eyebrows.

Now I finally understood why Xu Yuan reminded him when she wrote to him at night that the letter was not banned. She did not say this clearly, and she did not read it because of her reservedness. However, the letter was written to him and Xu Ling.

The statement in his heart was actually not obvious. He just mentioned that the Empress hoped that Zhao Xiaonian would marry Xu Ling and give Xu Ling a title. Of course, she also scolded Xu Ling for being ignorant and being a member of the Zhao family after entering the Zhao Mansion, and she also had to be self-reliant and not know the current affairs.

If Xu Ling doesn't understand this now, Zhao Xiaonian will really understand this.

On the surface, this is the Queen's love for him, but the situation behind this is far from that.

Just as the father reminded him, because the last incident of Concubine Liang Shu probably made some people focus their attention on him.

It's really a bit stupid. If you want to give the Yang family a warning, you have to start with Concubine Liang Shu. Maybe the father didn't understand this routine, but the empress in the harem was extremely intelligent and had already understood it.

Just ask for a foot wash basin for your father? Of course not, but this kind of thing can only be understood but not expressed in words. According to the current situation, it is because the Empress understood this logic, so she did such a move.

Therefore, it can be said that the Queen's attention has probably shifted from Xiao Jinzi to him.

That's right.

When he was in Hexi Fort, Zhao Xiaonian first hinted that Leng Yuchan wanted to use Xiaojin to confuse the public. The clever Leng Yuchan understood it as soon as he heard it, and reported it to the emperor. Therefore, the emperor also had such a plan to block Xiaojin in front, attract the attention of those people, secretly crossed Chen Cang behind his back, and gradually handed over the power to Zhao Xiaonian.

This plan is seamless and implemented very smoothly, but the mistake is that I am too proud. The battle in Shanxi was too smooth, which led to a little too arrogant after returning to the court. I wanted to take revenge on the Yang family, especially Liang Shufei, so I played that little cleverness, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a failure.

If you marry Xu Ling, it means you are tied to the Xu family. The Queen's plan can be said to be a precaution.

Seeing Zhao Xiaonian with a serious expression, Xu Ling seemed to realize something. Her previous shyness and cramping had already subsided. Like Zhao Xiaonian, her expression became solemn.

"Don't you?"

Can this be willing?

If you marry Xu Ling now, it means that she will be the crown princess next, and she will become the queen next year. Can you draw conclusions on such an important matter?

If you don’t agree now, you will do it against the Queen, and this will be very troublesome.

The most deadly thing is not this, but that the father is very partial to the empress. Something happened to the Xu family. Even if Xu Ruxiong caused so many troubles, he would not be punished severely. Just from this point, it can be seen that the Xu family's strength in the court.

"Do you don't like me?" Xu Ling suddenly asked.

"Ah?" Zhao Xiaonian didn't react for a moment when he heard Xu Ling's sudden question. He didn't answer, but just stared at Xu Ling in a daze, but Xu Ling ignored him and said to himself: "Yes, I am a person who has been guilty, what else can you see?"

She seemed very sad. Perhaps it was because she lived in poverty for so many years and was arrogant. Countless wealthy young men wanted to be alone with her for a moment, but Zhao Xiaonian was not interested in her at this moment. She couldn't help but feel a little pessimistic.

Yes, even if a painting is sold for a hundred taels of silver again, how could a well-deserved talented woman have thought that someone was not so interested in her?

This is like a famous author who has millions of fans, but she doesn't even know who she is.

Looking at her lonely face, she felt somewhat helpless.

After sighing slightly, Zhao Xiaonian said seriously: "I need to consider this matter and cannot reply to you immediately. Miss Xu, I am not targeting you, but the weight you give me is too heavy! Anyone should think about it carefully."

Looking at Xu Ling sitting there silently, her melancholy face was filled with a faint sadness and melancholy, as if she was suppressing something in her heart, but she could not vent it.

After walking two steps, Zhao Xiaonian felt regretful again. If he didn't agree to this matter in court, it would be a matter for the Queen. Such a smart woman, her small move was enough to make her understand what she was thinking.

Turning back to look at Xu Ling, Zhao Xiaonian wanted to speak but stopped.

I couldn't help but squeeze my right hand tightly.

"You go first, I said I didn't see you, and I didn't even see you even if I believe you..."

Suddenly, the woman said this weakly.

Zhao Xiaonian couldn't help but be stunned.

Her words behind her were obviously choking, as if she was wronged.

Hearing these words, Zhao Xiaonian couldn't help but be stunned.

The eyes of the woman were filled with doubts and surprise.

He never expected that she would say such a sentence.

Moreover, from the girl's tone of speaking, Zhao Xiaonian vaguely felt that her tolerance and helplessness were not just due to a woman's conservative grievance or restraint, or her narrow kindness.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Xiaonian decided to leave. Such things must be greeted by the father in advance. Not to mention the establishment of the crown princess, but the establishment of the queen, this is all about the great destiny of the founding of the country. Without the approval of the father, Zhao Xiaonian could not make decisions without authorization.

In the end, I could only say one sentence: "Thank you, I will reply to you as soon as possible." As a reply to the woman, it might make her feel better.

It was not until he was about to go out that Xu Ling responded weakly: "Yes."

The sad and melancholy woman sat there for a long time before slowly getting up, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, walked out the door alone, and told the maid beside her: "Don't say that I've seen Lord Zhao when anyone asks!"

"But, Miss..."

The maid sighed sadly and gave her a owed gift.

"yes."
