The Queen smiled: "I don't know who your father will give him, but I know you will definitely not be among them!"
"Why!" Xie Liuying stood up suddenly.
The queen looked at her daughter who was blushing with anxiety. How could she not know what her daughter was thinking?
Although she felt sorry for Xie Liuying, she also knew that she was the mother of a country. Her children enjoyed more glory and wealth than others, and they also had to pay more for freedom and future than others.
"Because you are a legitimate princess!" The queen looked at Xie Liuying with a little heartache in her eyes, "You can't marry Ningyuan Houfu!"
This is not the first time Xie Liuying has heard this sentence. Her seventh brother also told her this, but she was unwilling to accept it and asked again.
Although she was sad, Xie Liuying still pretended to smile sensibly: "I know!"
When Xu Qingmo was invited to the palace banquet, he was really the first and the second.
You must know that this banquet has nothing to do with her. The emperor wants to grant a marriage to his brother, so Xu Yanquan can go alone, but the empress insists on taking her with her.
These days, she was living peacefully in her own house. After a few days, when she had eaten and drank enough and went to bed, she got news that she was going to attend some palace banquet.
You must know that the weather is getting hotter day by day. Xu Qingmo has to hold a bowl of cold drinks every day to survive. He doesn't go out unless he can. This is good. The invitation from the palace has arrived. The Queen Empress The invitations could not be rejected, so I had to bite the bullet and go.
On the way to the palace, Xu Qingmo was so hot that he didn't want to breathe. Looking at Xu Yanquan beside him, it was particularly annoying.
Xu Yanquan was disliked all the way, and couldn't help but retort: "I don't have to force you to do this. You keep getting angry at me, what's going on?"
"I don't care. If you hadn't refused to marry a wife all these years, how could such a thing happen?" Xu Qingmo was still angry, "I still have to accompany you to see each other in such a hot weather! Annoying!"
Xu Yanquan was speechless and could only endure his sister's disgust silently.
After finally entering the palace, Xu Qingmo was still too hot to speak, but there was a lot of etiquette in the palace, and for some reason today, she met so many noble people along the way that she was sweating all over just by saluting.
After finally seeing off the empress from an unknown palace that I had just met, I bowed politely and let them look around from top to bottom, inside and out.
Xu Qingmo was really impatient and couldn't help complaining: "I don't know what I'm looking at!"
"Girl, be careful what you say!" Hua Ying beside her quickly reminded her.
Xu Qingmo closed his mouth, his face full of reluctance.
After finally arriving at the queen's palace, Xu Qingmo was a little surprised by the rush of heat as soon as he walked into the hall, and then he saw a room full of people.
Fortunately, there were a lot of ice cubes placed in the room, otherwise everyone might be so hot that they wouldn't be able to breathe!
Xu Qingmo could only salute one by one.
Xu Yanquan was a foreigner, so he hurried out after seeing the gift, and was quite happy, but Xu Qingmo was left to talk.
Xu Qingmo looked at the people gathered around and felt more and more stuffy. Fortunately, a large basin of ice cubes was placed next to the queen, and she sat in that corner to cool down a little.
"Mo Mo, tell me, what kind of women does your eldest brother like?" The queen looked at Xu Qingmo and asked with a smile.
Xu Qingmo paused for a moment. In his past life and this life, his eldest brother was an old bachelor, and his only concubine was framed. How could he know what he likes?
But looking at the faces in front of him, Xu Qingmo hesitated for a long time, and then said: "Just... a woman like my mother!"
The originally noisy room suddenly became quiet.
The queen was silent for a long time: "A woman like your biological mother is indeed difficult to find. No wonder your eldest brother has not gotten married after so many years!"
In fact, Xu Qingmo just said it casually, but he didn't want to explain too much, so he just followed their imagination!
When the banquet started, a group of people walked grandly towards the Imperial Garden, while Xu Qingmo quietly followed behind, trying to avoid crowded places as much as possible.
Before anyone arrived at the Royal Garden, Xu Qingmo had already heard the complicated sounds. Xu Qingmo struggled for a long time, and then ran to another place when no one was paying attention to her.
The Royal Garden is not big, but it is not small either. If you want to find a secluded corner, you can still find it.
Xu Qingmo found a relatively remote waterside pavilion. As soon as she sat down, she heard the footsteps of others. She was a little annoyed. She turned around and saw Meng Hetong standing there with a smile on his face.
"Why are you here?" Xu Qingmo was a little surprised.
"Older unmarried man!" Meng Hetong said while rolling his eyes towards the sky.
Xu Qingmo suddenly thought that Meng Hetong was the same age as her eldest brother, but although he was more dandy this year, he could not marry a wife. It was said that he did not even have a concubine, so he was indeed an older unmarried man.
"You want to come and take a look too?" Xu Qingmo raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is this girl willing?"
"When you don't speak, you are a pretty little girl!" Meng Hetong looked at Xu Qingmo with disgust.
Xu Qingmo smiled: "You have to face reality!"
The two people who didn't like banquets hid in this deserted waterside pavilion. There were no people around, and there was an occasional breeze, which made it cool and comfortable.
"The one we meet today is your eldest brother's bride. Why don't you go and check her?" Meng Hetong couldn't help but ask.
Xu Qingmo thought about Xu Yanquan, who didn't even have a wife in his previous life, with a look of helplessness on his face: "Thank God if I can get a wife. I'm not picky. If she thinks I'm in the way, I can even move out overnight!"
Meng Hetong paused, then laughed: "You are talking as if it is difficult for your eldest brother to get married..."
After he finished speaking, Meng Hetong saw the seriousness in Xu Qingmo's eyes, and then frowned slightly: "Do you really think your brother can't get a wife?"
"He knows how to wield a knife and a gun every day. Apart from being good-looking, what kind of wife can he get?" Xu Qingmo's face was full of disgust. "He is so obedient and can't speak well. How can he deceive a little girl?"
Seeing Xu Qingmo like this, Meng Hetong laughed even louder: "Other people's sisters are all caring little cotton-padded jackets. How come this cotton-padded jacket is leaking from the wind everywhere!"
Xu Qingmo ignored him and just leaned against the railing with his cheeks in his hands, blowing in the occasional breeze: "I don't know what you are laughing at. If I didn't know, I thought you could get a wife!"
Meng Hetong, who also had no wife, almost choked to death on his own saliva, and it took him a long time to recover.
