Xiao Xue smiled and counted on her fingers, "Many people used to come to my house to ask for marriage. I said..." She paused, glanced at Zhao Che, and smiled, "I said I want to find a young man, and I want to find someone who is obedient.
, I want to find someone handsome, I want to find someone heroic."
Zhao Che felt that he shouldn't ask too many questions. The first point hit him in the heart. He was hit. He was really not young enough for Xiao Xue. Xiao Xue looked at Zhao Che with a smile. So far, she felt
Very satisfied. However, Zhao Che thought that out of these four points, he met two of them.
"How young did you want to find at the beginning?" Zhao Che thought that self-abuse is something that stupid people often do. Smart people like him don't often do it, so why not try it too. Xiao Xue is an honest baby. Thinking of his own standards back then,
She said with a smile, "I originally wanted to find someone five years older than me, five years at most."
Zhao Che was hit in the heart again.
"Then why did you choose me?"
Xiao Xue said, "You look good and you look young."
"..." Zhao Che felt that this topic suddenly became boring. It turned out that Xiao Xue liked him because he looked young and good-looking. She might as well like Cheng Mubai. He was better looking. Thinking of Cheng Mubai, Zhao Che
I couldn't help but think of Yun Buhui.
It is said that they have a son. I don’t know who he looks like. No matter who he looks like, it will be a disaster.
Zhao Che still can't connect the fact that he and Cheng Mubai are related by blood.
Xiao Xue wrote the letter, put it in the envelope, and asked Ruyi to take it and put it away before sending it to Beijun tomorrow. She stretched her arms and couldn't help but ask when she saw that it was still early, "Why did you come back so early today?"
"Very early?"
Zhao Che came back after talking to Zi Yihou about the incident in Beijun. Along the way, he was thinking about how to talk to Xiao Xue about it. If things got out of hand in the future, he wanted Xiao Xue not to misunderstand him. He was already tolerant enough towards Beijun.
.
If something unexpected happened in the future, he couldn't tell.
Can Xiao Xue understand?
Zhao Che is not sure, but he knows that Xiao Xue loves and protects her family very much. She is willing to die for the sake of the county prince and Xiao Bing. Such Xiao Xue makes Zhao Che unhappy, and also
Appreciated.
"Do you want to tell me something?" Xiao Xue asked with a smile. Zhao Che shook his head and changed the topic, "I was thinking about Cheng Mubai's coming to Beijing, what kind of gift should I prepare for his son."
Xiao Xue suddenly became excited and wished she could see Cheng Mubai's child immediately. She said, "My brother said that Brother Mubai's son is very good-looking and very smart, and he looks very much like Brother Mubai."
"Don't you think he's too faceless? What's so good about him?" Zhao Che snorted coldly. He just didn't like Cheng Mubai, even if he was a cousin.
Xiao Xue scratched her head and said, "I'm just kidding. When brother Mubai first met us, he pretended to be seriously ill. We thought it was embarrassing when we saw it, but then we didn't feel it anymore. If you don't talk about this, what are you going to give us?
Well, after all, I am also his aunt."
Zhao Che rubbed his hand on Xiao Xue's head and reminded him softly, "According to seniority, Cheng Mubai should call you cousin, so his son will not call you aunt."
Xiao Xue, "..."
This generational issue is really confusing.
Regardless of this problem, they will go to Beijing in one month. Xiao Xue doesn't know what to give to the child even if she wants to. In fact, the royal family has everything, and the Cheng family has no shortage of it. What she gives is just a token of her heart.
Seeing how hard she was thinking, Zhao Che couldn't help but smile and said, "In a few days, go to the Treasure Pavilion to see what you have to give."
"Okay!" Xiao Xue nodded.
The next day, Xiao Xue went to the Treasure Pavilion. There were treasures that the palace had always collected, as well as treasures that were paid tribute from various places. They were all available. Each piece was carefully collected, some were placed in boxes, and some were exposed and wiped.
Got to be very clean.
The manager of the treasure pavilion gave her a list of items and asked her to carefully search for the ones she wanted. This manager had been the manager of the palace treasure pavilion before, and it was the first time that the queen could come to the treasure pavilion to pick out treasures at will.
This generally only belongs to the emperor's small treasury. Others cannot read the list here, and they can also covet the things here.
There were so many treasures that Xiao Xue was dazzled and didn't know what to choose. Finally, he chose a red pearl jade pendant. Red pearls are a specialty of the East China Sea. They are smaller than ordinary pearls and are blood red. They are very difficult to cultivate. It is said that
There is only one red pearl in a hundred years. It is a top-quality medicinal material and is very spiritual. It can cure all diseases. If there is something wrong with a person's body, the red pearl will turn into a black pearl. If the person is healthy, the red pearl will shine
It will be very moist.
This is Xiao Xue's favorite treasure. In fact, she also likes it. The entire treasure pavilion contains only one red pearl, inlaid on a dragon-shaped jade pendant and placed on the middle layer of the shelf. Xiao Xue couldn't put it down when she looked at it.
The steward said, "If the Queen likes it, why not report it to the Emperor? He will definitely reward you."
Everyone in the palace knew that the queen was favored. Now when people came to the Treasure Pavilion to choose gifts, others didn't know that they were choosing gifts for Cheng Mubai's son, so they naturally thought that the queen came to choose gifts herself.
Xiao Xue said, "I do like it. Is there only one red pearl?"
"Yes."
Xiao Xue felt a little regretful. However, the gift given to Cheng Mubai's son was naturally given to her favorite. It was something she also loved. It would naturally make her happy to give it to the person she liked. Xiao Xue felt happy just thinking about it.
A pink and tender child looks best when wearing such a jade pendant, which is also good for the body and nourishes spiritual energy.
After Xiao Xue made her choice, she left the Treasure Pavilion. Ruyi and Luzhu were waiting outside. Seeing her smiling face, Luzhu asked, "Empress, what did you choose?"
Xiao Xue smiled and replied, "Secret!"
She originally wanted to go back to Weiyang Palace, but then she thought about it and went to Yangxin Palace. When she went to Yangxin Palace, the guards outside said that the emperor's study room was in the palace. Before she returned to Yangxin Palace, Xiao Xue went in to wait for him.
Before Xiao Xue entered the palace, Zhao Che's life was very regular, including Yangxin Palace, Royal Study Room, and Jinluan Palace. He didn't know how to enjoy it, so he stayed at three o'clock and one line every day. After Xiao Xue entered the palace, Zhao Che almost stayed overnight.
Weiyang Palace, except for the days when he had a cold war with Xiao Xue, who was in the Yangxin Palace, he was rarely there the rest of the time. Xiao Xue rarely came to the Yangxin Palace. Sometimes Zhao Che went directly to Weiyang Palace when he went to court, and Weiyang Palace was more like them.
Zhao Che told her today that he would be at the Yangxin Hall at noon, so Xiao Xue came over to wait for him.
