After Emperor Honghui and Princess Yongzhao learned that Leng Moran could see, they met with Leng Moran respectively, and then unanimously decided to finalize Leng Moran's marriage.
Emperor Honghui sent people to reward Dr. He and the Xiao family heavily. He asked Leng Moran about his attitude towards Xiao Xiaoyu, and he was sure that he was not as disgusted as the rumors said.
But Leng Moran still has an engaged fiancée after all.
Although Leng Moran had been saying that he wanted to break off the engagement, he still hadn't had time to do so.
He didn't expect that his eyes would heal so quickly. It would be unreasonable of him to cancel the engagement just when his eyes were healed.
Princess Yongzhao proposed to hold a flower appreciation banquet in the palace, inviting ladies of suitable age to participate, and select concubines for Leng Moran and King Wei.
King Wei is the youngest son of the late emperor. He has already reached the crown this year, but he has not yet been engaged.
It wasn't that Emperor Honghui treated him badly, but that King Wei was very playful and unwilling to marry a wife to control himself.
But even if he tried to delay it, Emperor Honghui didn't want to let him go anymore.
"Xiao Liu has been naughty since he was a child. In the past few years, no one has restrained him, and it has gone too far. A few days ago, a flower girl came to the princess mansion with a pregnant belly. I really don't want to worry about it anymore." Princess Yongzhao rubbed her temples.
, complained.
Emperor Honghui said: "I've let Sister Huang suffer. This time I'll ask Sister Huang to choose a more powerful wife for Xiaoliu so that he won't dare to mess around again."
Princess Yongzhao did not think that choosing a powerful wife would stop King Wei from doing whatever he did, as long as he would not trouble her again.
Princess Yongzhao doesn't have much feelings for this younger brother, she won't harm him, and she won't really care about him.
"Let the queen and Concubine Xiao come with me. I don't want to suffer alone."
"Sister Princess, don't worry."
…
Xiao Xixi learned almost immediately that Leng Moran's eyes could see.
In addition to what Dr. He told her, she heard the system prompt that her favorability level had increased while she was still sleeping.
She originally planned to get up and curse, but she held back after hearing the words behind the system.
[Ding! Congratulations to host Leng Mo Ran for increasing his favorability by 30 points. The current favorability is 50 points. Gaining another 10 points will unlock the points function]
Xiao Xixi was very curious and asked: "What can the points function do?"
[Reaching 100 points can unlock the shopping mall consumption function]
"How do I get points?"
[The system will release points tasks at any time, and the host will also receive points if he arranges plots to improve his acting skills.]
Xiao Xixi understood that it was okay for her to add drama to herself!
The system's words dampened her excitement.
[The host has not unlocked the points function yet. Please continue to work hard to improve Leng Mo Ran’s favorability towards you!]
Xiao Xixi's mood suddenly dropped again.
In the following days, she poked the system from time to time to check whether Leng Moran had gone out, but the answer she got was no.
Xiao Xixi couldn't understand why she ran outside all day long when she couldn't see her, and stayed at home when she could see him. The only time she went out was to the palace, and she wasn't even given the chance to meet by chance.
Just when Xiao Xixi was thinking about how to approach Leng Moran to increase her favorability, Mrs. Gu told her a piece of news.
"The palace banquet is going to be held at the end of the month, Xixi, you want to attend."
In fact, Mrs. Gu didn't want her daughter to attend at all, but when she thought about the purpose of the palace banquet and her daughter's thoughts about King Yan, she had no choice but to let her go.
Xiao Xixi was not interested in the palace banquet.
It's too complicated there. A bit actress like her can't play those people, and she doesn't want to go there.
【Ding! Invite the host to attend the palace banquet.】
Xiao Xixi immediately understood that Leng Moran would also go, otherwise the system would not prompt.
Before Xiao Xixi could answer, Gu reminded her in a low voice: "The purpose of this palace banquet is to select concubines for King Yan and King Han. If you are interested in King Yan, you must seize this opportunity."
"Isn't Prince Yan already engaged to Miss Fu?"
"I don't know about that. Anyway, that's what the emperor and the eldest princess mean. Maybe they are dissatisfied with Miss Fu and want to re-select. But Miss Fu will also participate, so you don't have to worry. As long as you are selected, then
She must be the princess, there is no way I, the daughter of the Xiao family, can be a concubine."
Xiao Xixi is not averse to marrying Leng Moran. This is an opportunity for her to get close to him.
But if she marries Leng Moran now, it might make him lose all goodwill towards her.
So she didn't consider getting married.
"Miss Fu is also very nice. If King Yan likes it, my daughter will also——"
[Ding! It was detected that the host’s character design has collapsed and the sound has been silenced]
Xiao Xixi:......
Well, it was true that she wanted to explain to Mr. Gu that her obsession with Leng Moran was not that deep, and it was no big deal if she didn't marry him, but she almost forgot that the original owner was madly in love with Leng Moran.
When these words fell into Gu's ears, they had a different meaning.
"You must not have such thoughts. If you marry King Yan, you must be the princess!"
Xiao Xixi didn't know how to comfort her. She couldn't say the truth. Saying it according to the original owner's words would make Gu even more angry.
He simply changed the subject and asked: "Mom, do you want Third Sister to go with you?"
Mrs. Gu shook her head: "No, I'll find someone to marry her, and she won't attend this palace banquet."
Xiao Xiaorou, who was sitting aside, had a complicated expression, as if she had just heard that she was going to be married.
Xiao Xixi took advantage of the situation and asked: "I wonder who the other party is?"
"This year's new Jinshi is working in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Although his family is a little poor, he is highly motivated and good-looking. His parents are both sensible people."
Such conditions are not very good, but for Xiao Xiaorou, a concubine, it is not bad.
Xiao Xixi wanted to observe Xiao Xiaorou's expression, but seeing her slightly lowered head, she couldn't see her expression.
Xiao Xiaorou suddenly said: "Thank you mother for taking the trouble, but my daughter also wants to attend the palace banquet with her second sister."
Gu's expression changed. Was she trying to gain access to the royal family?
"Xiaorou, you should know your identity. You can't go to the royal family?"
Reluctance flashed through Xiao Xiaorou's lowered eyes. She put back her complicated feelings and said, "That's not what my daughter meant. She just wants to see the world so that she won't be looked down upon by her husband's family when she gets married in the future."
Mrs. Gu wanted to say that given the situation of her husband's family, what right did she have to look down on her?
However, Mrs. Gu was still relieved: "That's all, you two sisters can go together."
…
The day of the palace banquet.
Xiao Xixi took Xiao Xiaorou into the palace with her.
Jiyue and other maids stayed outside the palace gate waiting.
As soon as she arrived at the Royal Garden, Xiao Xixi met Leng Moran.
The girl is wearing a moon-white skirt, she is clean and neat, her complexion is fair, her facial features are delicate, and her eyes are narrowed like crescent moons when she smiles.
Xiao Xixi saluted and said: "See you, Your Majesty."
This was the first time Leng Moran saw Xiao Xixi's appearance.
Is this woman so good-looking?
He looked into Xiao Xixi's eyes and tried to listen to her heart.
