"The Queen has arrived."
Just as he was talking, the emperor's eunuch's voice suddenly came from outside, and then, a figure slowly walked into the Xuanzheng Hall.
The imperial eunuch Chen Huan followed closely behind.
Queen Xu Zijing entered the Xuanzheng Hall accompanied by Xiugu.
Unparalleled in dignity, the golden phoenix above her head swayed slightly as she moved, but it was not very obvious.
Ying Qingci looked up unintentionally and looked over.
Although Xu Zijing is over thirty, she still looks like a girl in her twenties.
very young,
Similarly, it can also be seen that she received all the favor in the palace, otherwise, she would not be as relaxed and wanton as she is now.
"See the Queen."
"Mother."
Geng Hanchu also turned to look at Xu Zijing.
"No need to be polite."
Xu Zijing walked directly to Emperor Jingwen and sat on a seat on one side.
But she didn't look at him, but at Ying Qingci who was standing aside.
When he met her clear eyes, his eyes suddenly lit up.
This little girl, you can tell she is good at first sight.
It's just... he's a little younger.
However, this is not a problem.
The point is this is a girl.
Feeling the enthusiastic gazes of his father, the emperor, and his mother, Geng Hanchu's eyes flashed with helplessness.
"Father, mother, the girl is here to thank you today."
"cough."
Emperor Jingwen coughed slightly and glanced at Xu Zijing who was standing aside.
Xu Zijing glanced at Emperor Jingwen with some embarrassment.
Why are you coughing? She hasn't seen enough yet.
Emperor Jingwen: Ah Jing, if you look at it again, your son will fall out soon.
Xu Zijing glanced at Geng Hanchu with some displeasure, but her eyes became much more restrained.
"The Lord of Fuhui County has benefited the people. I appreciate it very much and give him a hundred taels of gold and a house."
Emperor Jingwen thought for a while and decided that if she could be given a house, she would have an excuse to go to Beijing.
Ying Qingci was stunned, not expecting that Emperor Jingwen would reward him again.
After all, rewards had already been given when the imperial edict was issued last time.
this time……
However, the reward from the Heavenly Family cannot be refused.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ying Qing bowed and Emperor Jingwen withdrew his gaze.
Unexpectedly, he received the gaze from the queen.
He was stunned.
"Ahem, it just so happens that the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Meeting will be held soon. Since the county master is in Beijing, he should attend the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Meeting together."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xu Zijing looked at Ying Qingci in the dark, already ready to make a move.
If she hadn't been stopped by Geng Hanchu's gaze, she might have already invited Ying Qingci to stay for dinner.
After leaving Xuanzheng Hall, Ying Qingci said nothing.
She is a little confused now.
Unexpectedly, the emperor and the queen were so enthusiastic, which even made her a little overwhelmed.
However, she didn't pay too much attention.
She would not be so narcissistic, thinking that the emperor and queen liked her so much that they couldn't help themselves.
I think it's because of my third brother.
Geng Hanchu sent her away from the palace.
When I returned to the Xuanzheng Hall again, I found that Emperor Jingwen and the Queen were still there, as if they were waiting for him to come back.
"Father, Emperor, Mother."
There was a cold expression on his face, but there was a trace of helplessness in his words.
Even so, Xu Zijing and Emperor Jingwen couldn't help being surprised.
You know, before that Geng Hanchu had never shown his emotions or anger.
Don't say you want to know whether he is happy or unhappy, just ask him to say one more word, unless it is for official business.
Otherwise, I would never say another word.
Now, they actually saw it on his face, helplessly, and heard his emotions at the moment.
Really surprised.
"Um?"
Xu Zijing asked knowingly.
Pretending to be confused, she looked at him.
"Mother, I understand what you mean. However, she has not yet grown up, and I have nothing more than a brother-sister relationship with her."
Geng Hanchu was a little helpless.
She knew that her mother would definitely go astray again.
Xu Zijing looked unbelieving.
Brother-sister love?
Ah.
She believed him.
Don't be robbed later and he will regret it again.
"Brother-sister love? Are you sure?"
Xu Zijing ignored his words and asked instead.
"nature."
The other person hasn't grown up yet, so even if he likes her, he can't express it too much to avoid scaring her.
"That's just right. I fell in love with County Master Fuhui very much at first sight. You might as well adopt her as your adopted daughter..."
"Mother!"
Geng Hanchu's tone was slightly serious.
If she was really adopted as an adopted daughter by her mother, then there would really be no possibility between them.
Hearing this, Xu Zijing not only wasn't angry, but actually had an expression on her face.
She knew it.
Ah Chu definitely likes her.
"The Queen Mother has come here, and I would like to give you a warning as a human being. That little girl is not an ordinary person, and there will be many people around her in the future. If you like it, you'd better pierce that layer of paper as soon as possible, otherwise... "
When it really happened, it was too late for him to regret it.
Geng Hanchu was slightly startled.
Previously, he had only considered that Ying Qingci had not yet reached her hair, but he had never thought that if another man appeared next to her... then he...
No, that can't happen.
He would never allow it.
"My father, my mother, my sons and ministers, please take your leave in advance."
After saying this, Geng Hanchu left the Xuanzheng Hall without looking back.
Xu Zijing looked at him with a smile on her face.
When Emperor Jingwen saw her look, a smile flashed in his eyes.
He took a step forward and gently held Xu Zijing in his arms.
"Why, so happy?"
Feeling his embrace, Xu Zijing subconsciously leaned over.
"Of course, you don't know how worried I was before. You thought Ah Chu was really going to be alone all his life."
"Otherwise, it will be with a man..."
In response to Emperor Jingwen's words, Xu Zijing nodded and expressed the worries she had been having for many years.
When she heard what he said next, her expression changed slightly.
Xu Zijing raised her head belatedly, not knowing what she was thinking of, and looked at Emperor Jingwen beside her with fear.
As expected, he met a dark face.
"After many years, it seems that the queen is still the same as in previous years..."
I doubted him back then, but now that I'm better, I doubt my son again.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
Before he could say the next words, he was picked up by Emperor Jingwen and strode away from the Xuanzheng Hall. Seeing this, Chen Huan and others quickly lowered their heads.
What happened between the emperor and the empress was not something that he and his servants could see...
On the other side, after hearing Xu Zijing's words, Geng Hanchu felt a little uneasy.
It was the first time in his life that he felt such an emotion.
Or because of a little girl.
However, that was no ordinary little girl.
He was worried that one day, as his mother said, another outstanding man would appear beside her.
If her eyes fell on another man, he didn't want to think about it, and he didn't dare to think about it.
On that day, maybe he will really regret it...
