Haya nodded seriously: "Ke'er, do you know? I have liked Brother Lujia since I was very young, but he always ignored me."
Thinking of Lu Jia's indifferent temperament, Ke'er smiled and said, "Brother Lu Jia has a calm personality. It's not that he is ignoring you. Don't be sad."
Haya suddenly pouted her lips and said: "Ke'er, you don't know, my father is planning to marry me to Yan Haotian, otherwise, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to come to you."
Ke'er was shocked: "What? Want you to marry Yan Haotian?"
Haya nodded: "Although Yan Haotian is also a dragon among men, I just don't like him. I just like my brother Liu Jia."
Thinking of the marriage between two big tribes, Ke'er frowned. Liujia's position as emperor was not so stable in the first place. It was the Queen Mother who worked hard to keep it. At this time, the marriage between the Guli tribe and the Yan tribe was unintentional.
It was a fatal blow...
I'm afraid the Queen Mother won't allow this to happen either...
"Ke'er, can you help me?" Haya looked at Ke'er longingly.
Ke'er nodded: "Don't worry, Haya, I will talk to the Queen Mother."
Unexpectedly, Haya shook his head: "I don't want you to talk to the Queen Mother. I came to you just because Brother Lujia listens to you. I want you to talk to Liujia. This is better."
"Uh... okay, I'll try it later." Ke'er wasn't sure about this matter. No need to ask, he might also know that brother Liu Jia would reject Haya's confession, but...
"Ke'er, when Brother Liujia comes, just tell him, okay?" Haya's tone was pleading.
Ke'er had no choice but to nod: "Haya, I can only say that I will try my best."
At this moment, by coincidence, Luca really came...
"Brother Luca, it's great that you're really here." Haya walked over, took Luca's arm and said coquettishly.
Luca didn't speak, but looked at Haya: "Why are you here?"
Haya pouted her lips: "Why can't I be here? Ke'er is my friend."
Liu Jia raised his head and looked at Ke'er questioningly. Ke'er could only force a smile and said, "Yes, Haya and I are friends."
At this time, Haya blushed and pulled Liu Jia: "Brother Liu Jia, Ke'er has something to tell you."
"Oh?" Liu Jia couldn't understand what the two people were doing, so he could only look at Ke'er questioningly.
Ke'er was heartbroken, gritted her teeth, closed her eyes and said, "Brother Lujia, actually, I want... to let Haya be my sister-in-law."
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the house became peaceful, even a little strangely peaceful...
Ke'er opened her eyes curiously and found Liu Jia looking at her with a complicated expression...
"Ke'er, is this really what you want?" Liu Jia's eyes were a little hurt.
Ke'er lowered her head, not daring to look at Liujia. She knew that Liujia didn't like Haya, but if Haya really married Yan Haotian, then Liujia's brother's position would probably be...
For the sake of Liu Jia, Ke'er risked everything. He raised his head and nodded: "Yes, this is my expectation."
At this time, Sui Liu couldn't help shouting at Ke'er: "Is there something wrong with you? You clearly know what the master likes...?"
Before Sui Liu could finish speaking, Liu Jia immediately interrupted: "Sui Liu, step back."
Sui Liu glared at Ke'er fiercely and stepped back knowingly. Liu Jia looked at Ke'er and finally said: "Okay, whatever."
After that, he stood up and walked out. As long as it was what Ke'er wished for, he would try his best to satisfy it. Emperor Beixi really dotes on his sister. Sure enough...
Seeing Liu Jia walking out sadly, Ke'er felt very uncomfortable. Looking at Liu Jia's back, she could only feel sad.
"Ke'er, just now, did Brother Lujia say yes? Does that mean he agreed to marry me?" Haya said excitedly.
Ke'er nodded: "Well, that's probably right."
"Great, long live Ke'er, long live." Haya picked up Ke'er recklessly and turned around happily...
Zhuque Palace
Although the Queen Mother had her as a princess, she had never summoned her. She treated her like a scourge and avoided seeing her...
Today, she was summoned alone, which made Ke'er feel a little uneasy. Every time the Queen Mother came to her, nothing good would happen.
"Ke'er pays homage to...the Queen Mother." Although she is already a princess and the adopted daughter of the Queen Mother, the word "Mother Queen" still feels strange to Ke'er, and it sounds stiff when she calls it.
"Get up." The Queen Mother's tone was calm.
Ke'er raised his head and saw only the palace maid Chun'er beside him, but did not see Feng Bitong and Hua Yunzi.
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Ke'er slowly stood up and stood up in an orderly manner.
"Chun'er, go and get her a showboat to sit on." The Queen Mother's voice became kind.
This made Ke'er a little flattered. When she sat down, she still felt uneasy. She just said politely: "Thank you, mother, for sitting down."
"Ke'er, the Ai family knows that you helped Haya? Can you tell the Ai family why you did that?" the queen mother asked slowly.
Ke'er lowered her head and did not dare to look at the Queen Mother. Maybe she was afraid of the Queen Mother, so she was always very reserved in front of her. She only heard Ke'er say: "Back to my mother, Princess Haya is my friend, and she is very...
I like Brother Lujia, so I followed the trend and became the matchmaker."
The Queen Mother put down the tea cup in her hand and her expression became majestic: "Ke'er, you didn't tell the truth. You don't have to hide it in front of the Ai family."
"Princess, if the Queen Mother asks you anything, it's best to tell the truth." Chun'er reminded carefully from the side.
Ke'er sighed. She didn't want to say it originally. She didn't want the Queen Mother to think that she was trying to take credit for doing something earth-shattering. But now that the Queen Mother asked about it, she had to say it. According to the Queen Mother's actions inside and outside the palace,
Along the route, I'm afraid the mystery is already well understood.
"After returning to her mother, it was Haya who revealed to Erchen that her father, King Guli, wanted to marry her to Yan Haotian, so she asked Erchen to speak for her and wanted to be brother Liujia's concubine." Ke'er
Said calmly.
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction: "Continue."
"My son is ignorant. Although he doesn't know anything about government affairs, he thought that if Haya married Yan Haotian, then the marriage between Gu Li and the Yan tribe might be detrimental to brother Liu Jia, so he boldly asked Liu Jia to marry him.
Brother Jia married Haya." Kerr said cautiously.
The Queen Mother softened her expression, sighed and said: "I didn't expect you to be so considerate. If the Ai family gave an order, Liu Jia might not be able to agree to it. I didn't expect that you would come forward and be able to solve it easily."
Ke'er hurriedly said: "I don't dare."
The Queen Mother waved her hand: "There is nothing to be afraid of. The Ai family knows right from wrong. You have made a great contribution this time. I am telling you that if Haya is handed over to Yan Haotian, it will be a big blow to us."
trouble."
"My son, I am very happy to be able to share the worries of my mother and brother Liu Jia." Ke'er said calmly.
The Queen Mother nodded, then turned back to Chun'er and said, "Chun'er, go and get the set of emerald bracelets from the Ai family."
"Yes." Chun'er accepted the order, and soon she was holding a golden box.
The Queen Mother took the box and said softly: "No matter what the reason is, since the Ai family has adopted you as their adopted daughter, you are half a daughter of the Ai family. This is considered a dowry from the Ai family, a meeting gift for you, and this
Thank you for your gift."
Ke'er waved her hands hurriedly: "Mother, I can't have children."
"Take it, the Ai family doesn't like pretentious people." The Queen Mother said calmly.
"No, Queen Mother, I'm not pretending, this gift is too valuable, I can't accept it." Ke'er firmly refused.
Chun'er interrupted: "Princess, you are the Queen Mother's daughter. The Queen Mother likes you and gives you something, so just accept it."
At this time, the Queen Mother also said: "Yes, unless you don't want to recognize the queen mother of the Ai family."
"No, it's not." Ke'er quickly denied it. After thinking about it, she took the golden box and knelt down to thank her: "Thank you, Queen Mother."
Walking out of the Suzaku Palace, Ke'er held the golden box and felt very heavy. She forced Brother Lujia to agree to marry Haya, and then received a generous reward from the Queen Mother. Isn't it too ironic?
Sure enough, when she happened to meet Sui Liu on the road, she was about to speak. Sui Liu rolled his eyes at her and cursed in a low voice: "Ungrateful."
She knew that Sui Liu must have thought that she was doing things for the Queen Mother, so she was rewarded by the Queen Mother. He thought that she had betrayed Brother Lujia for the reward, knowing that she didn't like Haya, but still forcing him to agree...
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly bumped into someone. When he looked up, he turned out to be the singing prostitute Li Ge who had come with him before.
Li Ge immediately knelt down and said, "I pay homage to Princess Nuan."
"Li Ge, get up quickly." Ke'er said excitedly.
"Princess Xie Nuan." Li Ge stood up slowly, but his expression was not happy at all.
"Li Ge, where are you working now?" Ke'er asked curiously.
Li Ge's eyes darkened and he said, "This slave is currently working as an errand in the Queen's Mingyue Palace."
"Oh? What about the others?" Ke'er asked hurriedly.
"Most of them are dead. Since entering the palace, no one has cared about us. The queen has made things difficult for us and has tortured several sisters to death. Only Xiaotao and I are still alive. Xiaotao has a good life and was taken away by Empress Side Ji.
Caiyun Pavilion, and I will be tortured by the Queen." Li Ge said with tears in his eyes.
Ke'er took a closer look and saw the scars on Li Ge's body. It seemed that the queen was really treating her very badly, so she felt heartbroken and said, "Li Ge, don't be afraid, I will go with the queen to get you."
"
Before Li Ge could speak, he only heard a coquettish voice saying: "Hey, who is so bold? Dare to ask for someone in my Mingyue Palace? Do you really think you are a princess? I don't want to think about my previous status. I am so despicable.
Geisha."
Ben looked over, and sure enough, the queen came over with her maids. Li Ge immediately knelt down, trembling with fear, and Ke'er bowed and said, "Ke'er, please give my regards to the queen."
"Oh, isn't this our Nuan Princess? What a coincidence. By the way, I just scolded the slave, not you, so don't take it to heart." Feng Bitong said angrily.
Ke'er knew what she meant, and just wanted to humiliate himself. He had known her temper, and he didn't want to be in the same situation with her, so he said nicely: "Queen, Madam, Ke'er wants to get rid of this palace maid named Li Ge. I hope, Madam,
Give me some thin noodles."
Feng Bitong looked at Li Ge who was kneeling on the ground and said with a smile: "Mingyue Palace is short of manpower recently, so I'm afraid I can't give it to you, my sister."
After that, Feng Bitong saw the golden box in Ke'er's arms, her eyes immediately lit up and she said, "Isn't this the Queen Mother's emerald bracelet?"
"Well, it was a gift from my mother." Ke'er smiled slightly.
Feng Bitong immediately said jealously: "It seems that the queen mother likes you very much. She is willing to give you such a precious thing."
Ke'er rolled his eyes and immediately presented the golden box: "If the queen likes it, why not give it to you? I hope the queen can become a beautiful woman."
The queen was immediately overjoyed, and then kicked Li Ge, who was kneeling on the ground, and cursed: "You bitch. How valuable are your goods?"
After saying that, Feng Bitong looked at Ke'er and said with a smile: "Deal."
