Xie Chi paused after hearing this and recalled the conversation he had just had with his brother. Does the master also want to find him a wife?
"My subordinate has thought about it."
When Fu Yuanxiao heard this, he thought it was interesting, and the smile on his lips rose.
"Then how about letting Baozhu be your wife?"
Xie Chi actually guessed that his master might ask this just now. Even if he guessed it, he would still be nervous and his palms would be sweaty.
Fu Yuanxiao waited for a long time, and when Xie Chi didn't say anything, he thought to himself, could it be that the two brothers didn't like girls like Baozhu?
"What? Don't want to?"
"No." Xie Chi pursed his lips and continued: "Master, it's better to ask Miss Baozhu about this first. You can't marry me by force."
Fu Yuanxiao smiled when he heard this, "Of course, Baozhu is my personal maid. She has grown up with me. How can I let you marry me by force? If you are willing, I will ask Baozhu. If she doesn't mind, it will be settled. ”
Xie Chi asked: "What if she doesn't want to?"
Fu Yuanxiao smiled again, "This is still a question. If you don't want to, I will find her again. There are so many men, and you can always find the one you want."
Xie Chi lowered his eyes, "That's what the master said."
Fu Yuanxiao continued to ask: "What do you mean? Are you willing or unwilling?"
Xie Chi said: "My subordinate is willing."
Fu Yuanxiao then showed a satisfied look in his eyes, "Okay, you go back and wait for the news."
"It's the master." Xie Chi bowed and exited.
Xie Yao saw Xie Chi coming back and asked curiously: "What does the master want from you?"
"It's nothing." Xie Chi fiddled with the bonsai in front of him without even looking at his brother.
Xie Yao's eyes were full of doubts, "Then what did the master say?"
Xie Chi stopped what he was doing and glanced at his brother, "Why are you so nosy?"
"Aren't I curious?" Xie Yao continued to gossip, "Brother, what did the master say?"
"Take good care of your flowers." Xie Chi picked up the bonsai in front of him and walked into the flower room.
Xie Yao looked at his elder brother's leaving figure and frowned, "Why are you pretending to be so mysterious? It's true."
Fu Yuanxiao woke up and saw Nuo Nuo Baozhu in her arms. She stretched her body and said, "Baozhu, come here."
Hearing this, Baozhu came over with the little prince in her arms and asked, "Queen, are you hungry?"
Fu Yuanxiao is still breastfeeding and gets hungry easily.
Fu Yuanxiao touched his stomach and felt a little hungry indeed.
"It seems a little bit, but don't worry, I have something to ask you."
"What's the matter? Tell me, slave, I'm listening." Bao Zhu replied while coaxing Nuo Nuo.
Nuo Nuo was obediently listening to Baozhu's humming, but when she heard her mother's voice, she immediately waved her little hands.
When Fu Yuanxiao saw his son's two little hands waving, he knew that he wanted to hug him, so he took the initiative to hug his son.
Nuo Nuo grinned immediately when she saw her mother.
Fu Yuanxiao smiled at his son, then looked at Baozhu, "Baozhu, what do you think of Xie Chi?"
Bao Zhu smiled and said: "It's very good. What's wrong with the Queen?"
Fu Yuanxiao heard the same answer from three people today. Do the three of them have such a tacit understanding?
"Then how about letting Xie Chi be your husband?"
Baozhu blushed when he heard this, "Why did the Queen suddenly pull a red line for this slave and Xie Chi?"
"You live together under the same roof. Of course, the wealth will not go to outsiders. Xie Chi is a good person, mature and stable, and has the ability to protect you. He is also a good-looking person."
Fu Yuanxiao said this and looked at the orb, "Do you think Xie Chi is suitable to be a husband? Xie Chi likes you very much. When I said it, he agreed."
Bao Zhu was a little surprised when she heard this, surprised that Xie Chi liked her.
"My maid thinks that Xie Chi is a very nice person. If I have anything, Xie Chi will always come over and help me. Even if he talks a little less, I would say he is indifferent. He often helps me, so my maid thinks that he is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. people."
Xie Yao often went out with Fu Yuanxiao, leaving Xie Chi at home.
Baozhu and Xie Chi are also relatively familiar.
Fu Yuanxiao felt that Baozhu's analysis was good, and Xie Chi was indeed a person who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
He and Xie Yao have different personalities.
Xie Yao is a little more impulsive than Xie Chi.
She looked at Baozhu with a smile, "Then Xie Chi wants to marry you, are you willing to marry me?"
Bao Zhu's face turned red again, she pursed her lips and lowered her eyes, "I will listen to the Queen."
Hearing this, Fu Yuanxiao thought it was interesting, "That means you are willing, right? Xie Chi is indeed a good person, and he is worthy of being entrusted with him for life."
Bao Zhu blushed and said nothing.
Fu Yuanxiao knew Baozhu was willing.
Since everyone is willing, let's match them up.
Baozhu walked out of the side hall and saw Xie Chi playing with flowers and grass not far away.
In fact, she didn't know if she had the kind of feelings for Xie Chi that call a man and a woman.
After being together for so long, she still knew what Xie Chi was like.
Just as the Queen said, he is someone worthy of being entrusted with his life.
If you really want to get married, then marrying Xie Chi would not be a bad idea.
Xie Chi is a student of martial arts, and his martial arts is not weak. When he noticed someone looking at him, he immediately raised his head and looked over. When he saw the orb, he was startled.
Baozhu didn't expect him to suddenly raise his head, look away, and left with a blushing face.
When Xie Chi saw Baozhu gone, he was still a little confused. He was right, she was staring at him.
Why did you leave so suddenly?
Xie Chi looked at the side hall with doubts. Could it be that the master told Baozhu.
He clenched the scissors in his hand, and judging from Baozhu's reaction, he probably didn't want to.
"Brother?"
Xie Chi turned around when he heard the sound and saw his brother's face that needed a beating, "What's wrong?"
Xie Yao's eyes were full of confusion, "I called you several times, but you ignored me. Your hearing has become worse recently."
Xie Chi ignored his brother's words and pointed at the flower arrangement in front of him: "Move these into the flower room."
Xie Yao looked at the flowers that were originally taken care of by Xie Chi and asked, "What about you?"
"I have something to do."
Xie Chi washed his hands and then strode away.
Xie Chi frowned, "Brother, what are you doing?"
As soon as Baozhu walked out of the small kitchen, she saw Xie Chi not far away, just this way, and Xie Chi was standing there, obviously waiting for her.
She pursed her lips and was hesitating when she saw Xie Chi striding over.
Xie Chi walked to Baozhu and stopped, "Miss Baozhu."
Bao Zhu held the handkerchief tightly, maybe knowing that the two would get married, she was a little embarrassed to look at Xie Chi.
"Thank you, guard, what's the matter?"
Xie Chi was not one to mince words. There were only two of them in this meeting, and he simply said straight to the point: "Master talks about my marriage. If Baozhu doesn't want to, you can just refuse. You don't have to think too much. Master is not the kind of unreasonable person. "
Baozhu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked: "How do you know I don't want to?"
This time Xie Chi was stunned, "You mean you are willing? I thought..."
"I have already promised the Queen, you are very good."
After Baozhu said this, he lowered his eyes and left with a blushing face, leaving Xie Chi standing there alone.
He watched Baozhu leave and recalled what she had just said. Baozhu praised others for being nice.
Make sure Baozhu is willing to marry him.
The corners of Xie Chi's mouth slowly raised, a smile coming from the bottom of his heart.
Xie Yao moved all the flowers into the greenhouse, and just after resting for a while, he saw Xie Chi coming back. There seemed to be a slight smile on his lips, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
It was completely different from when I left just now.
"Brother, are you happy? Are you so happy?"
"Yeah." Xie Chi nodded, didn't say a word more, and continued busy with his own business.
Xie Yao immediately chased after him, "Brother, what's the happy event?"
In Shuxiu Hall, the candlelight gave off a faint yellowish light, giving the deserted palace a layer of warmth.
Tang Wanqing waited from morning to evening, but did not see Xiao Ji's arrival.
The look in his eyes went from expectation to disappointment, not just in a day or two, but today, he felt particularly disappointed.
I liked standing at the door and watched it countless times, but I didn't expect the emperor to come.
Looking back at Tang Wanqing sitting on the couch, she felt very distressed.
She walked over with small steps, took a fox fur and put it on Tang Wanqing, comforting her with a warm voice.
"Girl, maybe the emperor is too busy, so he didn't come to visit the girl. Maybe the emperor will come tomorrow."
Tang Wanqing slowly raised her head and looked at the candlelight on the low table, but there was no light in her eyes.
The next day, Tang Wanqing got up under Xiyan's service, and then dressed up.
"Get ready, I'm going to pay my respects to the queen."
Xiyan paused when she heard this and nodded, "Yes."
After washing up, Tang Wanqing looked at herself in the bronze mirror. Compared with her previous self, she had lost a lot of weight.
She stood up slowly and said, "Let's go."
Before going out, Xiyan prepared fox fur and a hand warmer.
When she reached Fengyi Palace, Tang Wanqing was out of breath, as if she had walked a long, long way.
She stopped and looked up at the queen's palace. The three words Fengyi Palace on the plaque were particularly eye-catching.
Fu Yuanxiao had just finished his breakfast and watched his son playing when Baozhu walked in with small steps and said, "Queen, the noble concubine is here."
Fu Yuanxiao stopped shaking the rattle, raised his head, and said, "Let her in."
"Here." After Baozhu exited, Tang Wanqing walked in with small steps.
She looked at Fu Yuanxiao who was sitting on the couch. Different from before, she was now wearing a red phoenix robe and a phoenix crown, which only the queen, the mother of a country, could wear.
Tang Wanqing took two steps forward slowly and said, "I would like to pay my regards to the Queen."
Fu Yuanxiao: "Get up."
"Thank you, Queen." Tang Wanqing slowly stood up.
Fu Yuanxiao ordered again: "Baozhu, bring a stool for Concubine Tang."
"Here." Baozhu brought a round stool and placed it behind Tang Wanqing.
"Thank you, Queen, for the seat." Tang Wanqing sat down slowly.
Tang Wanqing, who has been learning the rules of interest since she was a child, has always done the best in rules and etiquette, as if they are engraved in her bones.
Fu Yuanxiao looked at Tang Wanqing and found that he had lost a lot of weight since last time.
It hasn't been long since the last time.
Tang Wanqing said: "The Empress, I have been feeling unwell recently and did not come to pay my respects in time. I hope the Empress will atone for her sins."
In fact, even if Tang Wanqing didn't say anything, Fu Yuanxiao also knew that she didn't come because she was feeling unwell. Tang Wanqing, who always valued etiquette and rules, would do a good job in saving face even if she had a jealous temper.
"I have long heard that Concubine Tang is not in good health. As for taking care of herself at dawn and dusk, the most important thing is to take good care of herself."
After hearing this, Tang Wanqing raised her eyes and looked at Fu Yuanxiao. She felt the same as before, but a little different.
"The Queen's generosity and generosity are unparalleled by this concubine. I would like to thank the Queen for her thoughtfulness."
Fu Yuanxiao chuckled: "Concubine Tang is so humble."
Tang Wanqing looked at the little prince in the crib, who was playing with a rattle in his little hand, giggling from time to time.
She suddenly remembered that before she got married, she had made a wish that if Xiao Ji liked children, he would have more.
A happy family.
She has been married to Xiao Ji for more than a year, but she has not yet consummated her marriage with Xiao Ji.
The gap between the front and back was too much for her to bear.
Tang Wanqing endured the discomfort and asked: "Queen, how old is the little prince?"
"It's almost daytime." Fu Yuanxiao looked down at his son. Nuo Nuo cried very little every day and smiled most of the time.
Is it almost daylight? Tang Wanqing looked at the little prince in the small wooden bed again. Time passed so fast.
Look at his chubby little hands, and then look at the way he smiles.
Tang Wanqing has always dreamed of having a child like this, but she hasn't consummated her marriage yet.
Wanting to have children is simply a fantasy.
After coming out of Fengyi Palace, Tang Wanqing felt a little absent-minded.
It would be a lie to say that I don't envy Fu Yuanxiao. It can be said that I am a little jealous.
How could Fu Yuanxiao get Xiao Ji's love and have a child with Xiao Ji?
Why can't she?
Why did Xiao Ji treat her like this?
Not long after leaving Fengyi Palace, Tang Wanqing saw Xiao Ji coming towards him. He was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe. This was the first time he saw him wearing a dragon robe.
Xiao Ji's appearance is unparalleled in the world, and wearing a dragon robe, his elegance is not diminished.
Without asking, she could guess that Xiao Ji was going to Fengyi Palace. At this hour, he should be going to have breakfast.
Tang Wanqing stood there, waiting for Xiao Ji to approach, and then she saluted.
"I send my regards to the Emperor. May the Emperor be blessed with peace and happiness."
Xiao Ji didn't expect to meet Tang Wanqing here. It was still some distance away from Shuxiu Palace, and behind her was Fengyi Palace.
He should have just come out of Fengyi Palace.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Tang Wanqing stood up slowly and raised her head to look at Xiao Ji. She couldn't remember how long she had looked at him so closely.
He didn't seem to have changed, he was still the same gentle-looking man.
It's just that he has more of an imperial aura, and his eyebrows are much sharper.
"I haven't seen the Emperor for some time. Is the Emperor okay?"
"I'm fine. You can go back first."
Xiao Ji didn't want to waste time on Tang Wanqing, so he was about to leave after saying that.
Tang Wanqing hurriedly stopped him, "Your Majesty, I still have something to say."
Xiao Ji paused and looked back at Tang Wanqing, with a flash of impatience in his eyes, "What else can you do?"
Tang Wanqing took two steps forward and said, "Why didn't the emperor come yesterday? I have been waiting for a long time."
Xiao Ji said coldly: "I have just ascended the throne and have everything to do. Are you blaming me?"
"I don't dare. I just keep waiting for the emperor to come. From dawn to dark, I don't see the emperor coming. I am worried about the emperor and afraid of disturbing the emperor."
Tang Wanqing said this and continued: "Your Majesty, can you come today?"
"I'm very busy now, let's talk about it later." After Xiao Ji finished speaking, he left without looking back.
Tang Wanqing looked at Xiao Ji's leaving figure, clutching the handkerchief tightly, her eyes full of unwillingness.
Xi Yan took a few steps forward to support Tang Wanqing, "Girl, the Emperor is indeed very busy these days. The ministers have been proposing that the Emperor conduct a large number of drafts to fill the harem."
Xiyan looked around and found no one, so she continued in a low voice: "I heard that the ministers jointly signed a memorial asking the emperor to depose the queen and establish another queen."
When Tang Wanqing heard this, she immediately thought of her father. Her father had said that when Xiao Ji became the emperor, he would let Xiao Ji make her the queen.
It’s not hard to guess that this is what Dad had in mind.
Inside Fengyi Palace
Fu Yuanxiao played leisurely with his son, and his mood was not affected by Tang Wanqing's arrival.
When Xiao Ji came in, he heard his son's giggles, which meant that Nuo Nuo was going to be very happy.
He walked into the side hall and saw Fu Yuanxiao sitting on the couch. He didn't know if Tang Wanqing said anything to her.
Being born in the palace, I saw a lot of intrigues.
Tang Wanqing would not come to see Fu Yuanxiao for no reason, it must have some purpose.
"Xia'er."
Fu Yuanxiao raised his head when he heard the sound, saw Xiao Ji coming, and ordered: "Baozhu, prepare breakfast."
"Here." Baozhu walked out with cheerful steps.
Fu Yuanxiao gave his son the rattle and let him play by himself.
She stood up and came to Xiao Ji, and walked to the dining table with him and sat down.
"Why haven't you gone to court until now today?"
"Delayed by something." Xiao Ji answered concisely and to the point.
"Are they giving you another problem?" Although Xiao Ji didn't say it explicitly, Fu Yuanxiao could guess it.
Since ancient times, emperors have been inseparable from these things when they ascend the throne.
Xiao Ji knew that Fu Yuanxiao was smarter than before and knew many things.
It feels like growing up overnight.
"You don't have to worry, I will take care of this."
Breakfast is placed on the table one by one by the palace maid.
Fu Yuanxiao looked at the breakfast on the table and felt a little hungry.
"Eat first."
"Um."
The pressure on the court was indeed a bit troublesome for Xiao Ji.
It’s not something that can’t be solved yet.
Since he has promised Xiaoer, he will not break his promise again.
Moreover, Xiao'er had already made a lot of concessions for him, and that was enough.
Fu Yuanxiao told Xiao Ji about Xie Chi and Baozhu's marriage.
Xiao Ji had never paid attention to this, so when he heard her mention it, he naturally supported her decision.
"I will hold a decent wedding for them, and I have prepared the bride price and dowry."
"They have a master like you, which is a blessing gained from previous lives."
"I hope they can respect each other as guests and raise eyebrows together." Fu Yuanxiao looked at Xiao Ji and raised his eyebrows, "Xiao Ji, Baozhu grew up with me. We, husband and wife, are her natal family. You can't let others bully her. .”
Xiao Ji chuckled when he heard this, "With a queen like you here, who dares to bully her?"
"That's right." Fu Yuanxiao smiled and lowered his head. Xiao Ji has become the emperor, and he doesn't know how long he can last?
She said this to remind Xiao Ji that if she was not around, he would support Baozhu.
The new year is approaching, and Xiao Ji is getting busier and busier.
Fu Yuanxiao left the wedding to the Ministry of Etiquette.
Wedding clothes are also being produced in a hurry.
Fu Yuanxiao was afraid that Baozhu would regret it, so he asked again specifically.
"Baozhu, are you sure you want to marry Xie Chi? Once the three letters and six etiquette are completed, it will be difficult to withdraw."
In fact, if Baozhu wants to withdraw, she will naturally support him.
However, Xie Chi has always protected her.
Can't be too biased.
Xie Chi, a man who broke up his marriage in public, also wanted to save face.
When it comes to getting married, Baozhu is still a little embarrassed.
"Queen, I have no regrets. Xie Chi, he is a very good person."
Fu Yuanxiao took Baozhu's hand and said, "Don't worry, when you two get married, if Xie Chi dares to bully you, just tell me and I will support you."
Baozhu was so moved when she heard this. She was bought back by the Fu family when she was seven years old, and she has been with Fu Yuanxiao ever since.
There have been ups and downs over the years.
Now Fu Yuanxiao not only found a husband for her, but also prepared a generous dowry for her.
This was something she couldn't even imagine.
Fu Yuanxiao gave her too much.
"The Queen."
Fu Yuanxiao knew she was going to cry when he saw her like this, "Okay, engagement is a happy event, so be happy."
Xie Yao only found out about the eldest brother's engagement the night before.
"Brother, are you going to marry a wife? Marry the girl Baozhu?"
Xie Yao still couldn't believe it, "You keep your face calm every day, and you don't even see you and Miss Baozhu flirting with each other. How come..."
Xie Chi interrupted his brother directly, "Can you shut up?"
"When did you like Baozhu? You kept it secret so tightly that I didn't even know."
Xie Yao was still very curious. He was curious that his elder brother had someone he liked, but he didn't know it yet.
"You go out with the master every day, so of course you don't know."
Xie Chi actually comes into contact with Baozhu every day. Although it is just a small matter, it can still be recalled by Xie Chi.
Baozhu is a very capable girl who also cares about her master.
When the master was stupid, he never left the treasure, which was different from other women.
As we got along, we found that Baozhu was also a very attentive and gentle girl.
Isn't there a saying, "A fair lady, a gentleman is a good man?"
Xie Yao was so surprised that he accompanied his master out, and the eldest brother became interested in the girl.
"You just took advantage of my absence to fall in love with Miss Baozhu?"
Xie Chi said coldly: "Speak carefully."
Xie Yao smiled, feeling really happy for his eldest brother, who was finally getting married and starting a business.
"Brother, you should be glad that I don't like Miss Baozhu, otherwise, nothing would happen to you."
Xie Chi said: "You're looking for a fight, right?"
Xie Yao immediately laughed again, "I'm just happy for my eldest brother, he's finally getting a wife."
Xie Chi naturally understood his younger brother, "You too, you should start a family soon."
The smile on Xie Yao's lips froze, "I'm not in a hurry, you get married first."
Xie Chi said very seriously: "You and I are the same age, so we should make plans in advance."
In fact, he just wanted to remind his brother not to have such thoughts.
In the past two years, Xie Yao had always spoken of himself as his master, so how could he not guess what he was thinking.
It is better to get married as soon as possible.
