"It seems that Xiao Hou has a very high opinion of Nianyun!"
Su Nianyun looked at the pair of slender, probing eyes behind the silver face.
Facing Su Nianyun's direct gaze, Xiao Changfeng averted his eyes.
He didn't want to look at those overly sober almond eyes, because these eyes reminded him all the time that the owner of the eyes had never fallen for him.
"I have a relationship with you. From Mobei to Beijing, and from Beijing to Mobei, five or six years are enough to see through a person!"
"You're wrong," Su Nianyun said, "It has indeed been five or six years since we met.
"But speaking of understanding, Xiaohou only got to know me in the past year."
"It seems that you don't believe what I told you sincerely last time..."
Xiao Changfeng felt sad.
When he was seriously injured in the military camp, she still didn't take it to heart when he told her how much he had been feeling for the past few years, right?
After all, what position does Chen Shaoan hold in her heart now?
She said at that time that she would never forget him, and it was hard to let go of him because of the child. But this time when he returned to the capital, he felt that what Su Nianyun said might not be entirely true.
Su Nianyun made him confused. Sometimes he could feel that she would not reject him.
He sent someone to protect her and let her live in the general's mansion, and she accepted everything.
But whenever he felt that she was not on guard against him and wanted to go further, he was immediately pushed further away by Su Nianyun.
The time she broke up with him in Mobei, because he was busy dealing with foreign countries, he could only restrain himself and wait until the war was over, then followed her back to the capital as soon as possible.
After not seeing each other for a long time, he obviously noticed the surprise and relief in her eyes when she looked at him. It could be seen that she was also worried about him when he was fighting abroad.
God knows how happy Xiao Changfeng was when he discovered this.
Even just now in the imperial study room, when she chose him without hesitation, even though she knew that she was using him to avoid the emperor's aggressiveness and the prince's entanglement.
But even if he knew he was being used, he was happy with it.
but……
He thought so, but his heart was unwilling to accept it. He always hoped that Su Nianyun would choose himself actively instead of passively.
Seeing Xiao Changfeng only looking at the scenery outside instead of himself, Su Nianyun knew that Xiao Changfeng was hiding his disappointment.
From the emperor's study to the queen mother's palace, she would look at him from time to time.
So, she saw his disappointment completely.
"Xiao Changfeng, this is the first time I have discovered that the famous God of War can sometimes be unsure of himself."
Somehow, these words came out of Su Nianyun's mouth.
Xiao Changfeng looked away and looked outside, "What did you say?"
"I said..." Su Nianyun said simply, "Are you so unsure of yourself?"
"What do you mean?" These two words rekindled the light in Xiao Changfeng's eyes.
Su Nianyun caught him off guard and took off his silver mask, and faced him face to face, "Didn't the Queen Mother tell you that I am a thoughtful person and rarely show my emotions..."
In her previous life, she lived almost fifty years old and experienced so many heavy sufferings. Even though she is now in the body of a seventeen-eighth-year-old, her mind is no longer that of a little girl.
And because she has to be wary of those who secretly attack her, her character is particularly mature and steady.
The Queen Mother was in charge of the previous dynasty, and after so many years in the harem, she always judged people accurately.
It was precisely because she saw her non-exposed character that after Su Nianyun accepted her marriage to Xiao Changfeng, she dragged her to the inner hall for repeated exchanges and inquiries.
It wasn't until she was sure that Su Nianyun was really not forcing herself upon her that the Queen Mother truly became happy about the news.
Therefore, Xiao Changfeng did not need to be so concerned about gains and losses after the Queen Mother certified it.
Apart from her original intention not to let Shunyang get his way, she also really wanted to give Xiao Changfeng and herself a chance.
She wanted to try to forget that night and start a new life with Xiao Changfeng.
"So..."
With Su Nianyun's encouragement, Xiao Changfeng's confidence suddenly increased, and his angular face approached her.
"So, on that day at Jinming Tower, you did it on purpose..."
"What's intentional?" Su Nianyun pretended not to understand, "I don't understand."
"It's strange that you don't understand!" Laughter vibrated in Xiao Changfeng's chest.
He heard people say that among two people who love each other, the one who loves each other deeply always worries about gains and losses, thus ignoring many seemingly obvious issues.
Now, Xiao Changfeng, who had officially obtained Su Nianyun for the first time, suddenly understood that Su Nianyun deliberately told Fu Ming that day at Jinming Tower that the prince was interested in her.
"You want to use Fu Ming's mouth to let me know so that I can take action, right?"
Su Nianyun looked at the man in front of him who suddenly became proud.
But I didn't want to see him look disappointed, and I thought it would be a happy thing for the two of them to get married anyway, so I wanted to help him regain his mood.
But... this guy recovered too quickly.
This sharp-edged face suddenly burst out into the brightest sunshine from the haze at the bottom of the valley.
Su Nianyun lost herself in that brilliance.
"Xiao Changfeng," she put the mask on him again, "from now on, you are not allowed to smile at others!"
Xiao Changfeng took the opportunity to hold down her hand, "Okay, if you don't smile to others, I won't smile."
"You saved my life, you have the final say!"
Su Nianyun's heart was shocked and she looked at him blankly.
Su Nianyun, who was in high spirits, returned to Su's house at some point.
Because it was getting late and it was inconvenient to send her back to Sujiacun, Xiao Changfeng sent her to Su's house and told Su Cheng and others about the emperor's marriage.
Regarding this incident, compared to the two parties involved, none of the other Su clan members in Su Zhai were surprised.
After all, this little Xiaohou had been courting the princess, and everyone was surprised when he failed to marry her in the end!
However, just because the Su clan members know it, it does not mean that other people also know it.
On the second day, the news of the marriage granted by the emperor to Princess Nianyun and Xiaohou spread throughout the capital.
"Oh my god, did you hear that?"
People in the capital who always love gossip finally have something new to talk about, and everyone is running around on the streets to tell each other.
"I've heard it, I've heard it, you're talking about Princess Nianyun and Xiao Hou, right?"
"Yes, yes, this is too legendary, isn't it?"
"What is legendary or not? I think it is a matter of course. You know how much Princess Nianyun has done for the Dongling Army in Mobei. It is not surprising at all that Xiaohou marries Princess Nianyun!"
"But Princess Nianyun has been married before. How can Xiaohou marry her?"
"What's wrong with this? Princess Nianyun has been married and had children, so what? Don't forget that Princess Nianyun was born in the Su family in Mobei. The people there are open, so remarrying is not like being punished here in Beijing.
People criticize..."
"I heard that Xiao Hou has the title of the Undefeated God of War. How many girls' hearts will he be broken by marrying him like this?!" someone lamented.
After hearing what this man said, everyone looked at him.
One of the older people laughed at him, "Brother, this is your first time in the capital, and you know very little about the affairs of the DPRK, right?"
"Uh," the man said, "Does this have anything to do with what we are talking about?"
"Why doesn't it matter?"
The older man looked at the others, and they all laughed together.
"I can tell from just one sentence that you are a foreigner who has just entered the capital. That little Marquis Xiao is not a popular figure!"
"Contrary to what you said, even if he doesn't marry Princess Nianyun, the noble ladies in the capital will not consider marrying him..."
