The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Don't worry, Aijia will naturally ask him. Now Aijia is asking you what you mean, what do you think?"
Long Chuxia was silent for a while and said: "Empress Dowager, it seems not very good to ask me about this matter? I am my daughter's family after all. Otherwise, we can talk about this matter after a while!"
The Queen Mother was a little unhappy and said: "In early summer, King Qingping is a dragon among men. He will never wrong you. You can't even look down on King Qingping. Could it be that you have a better candidate in mind?"
Long Chuxia frowned slightly and said: "Empress Dowager, whether he is a dragon or a phoenix among men has nothing to do with me. In my heart, a husband does not have to be outstanding, but he must love me, and I must love him. But now, Qingping and I
We have known each other for a short time. Although I know that he is very good, I don't have any love in my heart. It is absolutely impossible to marry a man who is completely loveless."
Concubine Hua asked coldly: "I wonder what kind of man Chuxia wants? Could it be that he is as outstanding as the emperor?"
The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Hua with surprise and said reproachfully: "Concubine, how can you talk nonsense? You are not grand at all. My dear, who said that if you don't marry King Qingping, you are in love with the emperor? Don't think that all women will agree with you.
Not everyone wants to steal the husband and enter the palace!"
Concubine Hua glanced at Long Chuxia and said quickly: "I am talking too much. I just said casually. Of course I know that Chu Xia has no intention of entering the palace, right, Chu Xia?"
Long Chuxia said calmly: "That's my business, I don't have to explain it to you!"
Concubine Hua smiled softly, her delicate face full of sarcasm, "Haha, so if the Queen Mother wants to make the decision for you, that's a lot of trouble?"
The queen said: "Okay, noble concubine, you are in trouble now!"
The Queen Mother was a little unmotivated. She was originally thinking about bringing Long Chuxia and King Qingping together. She thought that Long Chuxia would be grateful, but she didn't expect that she was unwilling. The Queen was also right. She couldn't understand the young man's affairs, or Long
Chu Xia had another crush in her heart and said: "Forget it, since you don't like it, the Ai family won't tell you. If you like the son of any family, remember to tell the Ai family that the Ai family will make the decision for you!"
Long Chuxia thanked her: "Thank you, the Queen Mother, for your love. If Chu Xia finds someone you like, she will definitely inform the Queen Mother as soon as possible!"
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Well, I like the Ai family to live long enough to wait until that day!"
The queen quickly said: "What did the queen say? Don't talk nonsense."
Concubine Hua looked at Long Chuxia with a sneer on her lips, and Long Chuxia also looked up at her, all kinds of disharmony
Nanny Li walked in quickly and said with a smile: "Empress Dowager, guess who is here?"
The Queen Mother smiled: "Who else is there? Is the emperor here?"
Aunt Li shook her head mysteriously, "You won't be able to guess it!"
The Queen Mother said angrily: "Speak quickly, or I will cut out your tongue."
Nanny Li shouted outside the door, "The Queen Mother invites you!"
When Lingxiang's face appeared at the door, the Queen Mother, Queen Hua and Concubine Hua were stunned. Nanny Li said: "Princess Lingxiang, why don't you hurry up and pay homage to the Queen Mother?"
Lingxiang Yingying stepped forward and knelt on the ground: "Lingxiang, see the Queen Mother, see the Queen, see the Imperial Concubine!"
The Queen Mother quickly said: "Get up quickly, get up quickly!"
Qingping also followed Lingxiang and said delicately: "Mother, are you happy?"
The Queen Mother wiped away her tears, poked Lingxiang's forehead with her hand, and scolded: "You little girl, you ran away with me like this. It really broke the hearts of the Ai family. You have something to do, you can't tell me."
Aijia? Aijia will make the decision for you."
Lingxiang also cried, crying very sadly. The Queen Mother loved her sincerely. Over the years, she often thought of the Queen Mother's good deeds. Now when she heard the Queen Mother speak in a motherly tone, she felt as if a sour and painful feeling had been poured into her heart.
Sweet emotions, these emotions turned into tears and burst out of my eyes
Long Chuxia knew what Lingxiang had been through in the past few years, so she naturally felt uncomfortable seeing this situation. She looked at Qingping, who was also staring at her, with jealousy in her eyes. Long Chuxia suddenly felt that she had made too many enemies in this harem.
, some enthusiasm is waning, at least, there is no peace here anymore, it is time to leave!
The Queen Mother stroked Lingxiang's back and comforted her: "Okay, silly girl, just come back and you'll be fine!"
Lingxiang sobbed and said: "Mother Queen, Lingxiang did not run away with anyone, she just went to explore the world by herself. As a result, she was kidnapped by evil people and made a maid in the valley. This time, she had to go through all kinds of hardships to escape!"
In saying this, she naturally has to take care of her own reputation, otherwise she will become the laughing stock of others.
The Queen Mother said with pity and affection: "Poor girl" After saying this, she said angrily: "What kind of evil person dares to even hold the princess hostage? Do you want to die? Report to the emperor and let the emperor send troops to suppress it to vent his anger on you.
revenge!"
Lingxiang wiped away her tears and said gratefully: "Brother has avenged me. Thank you to the Queen Mother for your mercy!"
Outside the door, the eunuch's shrill voice announced: "The Emperor has arrived!"
Lingxiang quickly wiped away her tears and sat next to the Queen Mother, looking hopeful but also uneasy.
Long Chuxia looked at the bright yellow flash at the door. His slender body was stretched very long in the faint winter shadow. With the light behind him, he vaguely saw a faint smile on his handsome face.
Intention, his eyes first searched for the person he wanted to see most. Long Chuxia's eyes met his, and their eyes met. He nodded slightly, and Long Chuxia also nodded with a complicated expression. No matter how outstanding the man was,
Not my own
"Lingxiang? I heard from your brother that you are back. I didn't expect to see you today!" Feng Lingxiao said with a slight smile, and stepped forward to salute: "My son, please give your regards to your mother!"
Lingxiang looked at Feng Lingxiao with wide eyes. The emperor actually smiled? For more than ten years, she had never seen the emperor smile. She once thought that he would not laugh. In her heart, he was majestic, cold, and rigorous.
Every move he made was charming, even a simple movement of raising his hand, she felt it was different, like a god. Now, he actually smiled? Was it because he was back? Or was it because of something else? She looked at it with complicated eyes.
She glanced at Long Chuxia, who was lowering her head and touching the bracelet on her wrist. She didn't care when Feng Lingxiao saw this. She was slightly relieved. If Feng Lingxiao would like a woman, she wouldn't want it to be Long Chuxia. After all, Long Chuxia
He is her savior, and she doesn't want to have any resentment towards her.
Lingxiang raised his head slightly, looked at Feng Lingxiao, and said softly: "Lingxiang meets the emperor!"
"No need to be polite!" Feng Lingxiao walked straight to her, touched her head and said, "We haven't seen each other for a few years, and you have grown up like a ghost." He only thought that she was still the little girl back then, but he didn't know that this little girl
He has been planted in my heart for a long time
Long Chuxia looked at the people in this room who were very harmonious and loving, but she felt a sense of desolation in her heart as she was an outsider, and her intention to leave became even stronger.
However, she didn’t know if she would be willing to leave him when she really left. She looked up at him, and he was talking to Lingxiang. Lingxiang’s face was pink and blushing, shy and happy. Long Chuxia was slightly startled, a kind of bitterness came from her.
There is a feeling in my heart that since he is so outstanding, many women are destined to like him. Such a man is only suitable for falling in love and cannot stay with him for a long time.
