Not only Chen Chao, but also Xie Nandu never thought that the Queen would speak so directly and urgently.
If you really want to get married, marrying into the royal family would be a dream for many women, but among these people, Xie Nandu would definitely not be included.
She was silent for a moment and said nothing.
She was a little curious. Nowadays, there are a lot of stories in the gods. Doesn’t the Queen know some of the stories?
However, she quickly refused and said, "Mother, this is not good."
She speaks very straightforwardly, without much room for twisting and turning. If it were another woman, I'm afraid she wouldn't say this, but Xie Nandu is not an ordinary woman.
She just said those words, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with them.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she was not angry, but asked, "What's wrong? You don't like my son? It's obvious that you haven't even met him yet, so how can you reject him so quickly?"
The Queen is famous for her good temper, so naturally she will not be angry because of such things, but she is still a little curious.
Xie Nandu shook his head and had no answer.
"I heard before that you already have a boy you like. It happens that that boy also likes you?"
When the Queen Mother spoke, she was actually looking at Chen Chao. Chen Chao felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by the Queen Mother like that.
The boy in that sentence is naturally him.
And it was obvious that the Empress asked this on purpose.
Chen Chao thought for a while and said, "Empress Qi, I have admired Miss Xie for a long time."
This may be the first time that Chen Chao has expressed his feelings so frankly.
The Queen Mother was not surprised when she heard this. She just looked at Chen Chao and asked, "You didn't deceive me?"
Chen Chao said with a bitter face, "How dare I deceive you?"
The Queen looked at Xie Nandu again and asked, "Then you, girl, really like him? I must listen to the truth. If you tell lies to deceive me just to hide from my son, I will not be happy."
.”
Xie Nandu glanced at Chen Chao, with a smile on his lips, "I kind of like it."
This is the truth.
This is also the first time Xie Nandu has expressed his feelings so directly without beating around the bush.
Chen Chao was a little surprised and had a smile on his face.
How could he have imagined that the window paper between them had never been broken, but the opportunity to break it was now.
Here, it just doesn't seem awkward.
Hupan asked before, and then Hupan asked again on the literary test side, and now the palace has some results.
"To put it this way, I am a bit pretentious."
The queen looked at the boy and girl and laughed, "As the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than to ruin a marriage. In this case, I cannot do anything to beat the couple."
This sentence actually carries a lot of weight.
Word will be spread tonight.
The Empress said that she would not beat the couple, so if anyone wants to separate these two people in the future, they must consider the Empress's thoughts.
The Queen's thoughts actually represent the Emperor's will in many cases.
In the Liang Dynasty, how many people dared not to consider the will of His Majesty the Emperor?
Perhaps Xie Nandu will really make her own decision on who to marry in the future.
After all, apart from these, she is even the dean's disciple.
The Queen didn't show any signs of anger. It seemed that when she spoke before, it was just a casual mention, and she didn't take it seriously at all.
Chen Chao vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember anything for a while.
After the Queen chatted some more with Xie Nandu, she asked them to leave the palace.
"Girl, go and wait outside the door. I have two more words to say."
Xie Nandu nodded slightly, bowed and left. The Queen just looked at her back, with eyes filled with relief and satisfaction.
After Xie Nandu left, she looked at Chen Chao and said angrily, "If you like such a good girl, why didn't you tell her before?"
She was someone who had been here before, so she didn't know that when Chen Chao spoke just now, it was probably the first time that he clearly expressed his feelings.
This kid has a sharp mouth in other aspects, but in this aspect, he seems a bit naive.
Chen Chao lowered his head and said softly, "I am also waiting for an opportunity."
How could he tell the Queen that he was actually not ready to say it at all, because he was not yet convinced of the other person's intentions, and as for himself, he actually didn't know much about it either.
Can
When the Empress said she wanted Xie Nandu to be her daughter-in-law, Chen Chao finally understood what he meant.
Turns out I really like it.
"What are you waiting for? What's the point of waiting? Since we are interested in each other, let's make it clear. What's the point of having to guess here? If you don't make it clear after waiting, and she marries someone else, won't you regret it for the rest of your life?
?”
The Empress sat down slowly on the corridor and stared at Chen Chao, somewhat dissatisfied.
"This is what I taught you."
Chen Chao always lowered his head and did not raise his head to look at her.
The Empress looked at Chen Chao and said softly, "She is a very good girl. There are many people in my Liang Dynasty who are not worthy of her, but since she likes you, you cannot say that she is not worthy of her. What is the most rare thing in the world?"
?Isn’t it just that men and women like each other? When you like her, she happens to like you too, which is the rarest thing."
"It is extremely rare for the love for each other when we were young to last until the end. Anyway, I have seen too many two people who were in love when they were young, and finally got tired of each other."
The Queen Empress sighed, as if she had thought of something, and said softly, "Since you have already achieved so much, you should work harder, not to mention becoming famous, but you must be worthy of yourself no matter what."
Her voice was very soft, but the concern in her words was very clear, and Chen Chao could hear it.
Now she is talking about it as the queen, but in another identity.
She is more like an elder now.
"The first thing to do in the martial arts test is to ensure that you survive. As for the bet you made with people by the lake, if you really lose, I will ask His Majesty to cover it up for you."
The Empress looked at Chen Chao with some reluctance in her eyes.
"Mother, I will not lose."
"Okay, I would like to see you like this, Zhenhe..."
The voice stopped suddenly, and the Queen shook her head and whispered, "Staying alive is the most important thing."
Chen Chao slowly raised his head and looked at the empress, who was already looking very bad. Then he couldn't help but said, "I must take care of my empress' body."
"I know my own body."
The Queen Mother looked at Chen Chao, with very complicated emotions in her eyes, but in the end the emotions disappeared, leaving only some heartache. She looked at Chen Chao and murmured, "Good boy, good boy."
There were some tears in her eyes.
The Empress waved her hand, and soon a palace maid came here. She looked at Chen Chao, smiled and said, "After the martial arts test is over, come to the palace. I will cook for you again. Seeing how you look like this, I
Gong actually feels that his craftsmanship has not deteriorated."
Chen Chao stood there and was silent for a long time before he bowed seriously and left.
…
…
Arriving outside the door, Xie Nandu had been waiting here for a long time.
Chen Chao glanced at her and his face felt a little hot.
I said that before, but now that I think about it, isn't it really a bit bold?
Xie Nandu didn't care, he just said, "Is it so difficult to say something if you like someone?"
When Chen Chao heard this, he thought of the stories that happened between the two of them in the past, frowned, and finally said with relief, "It's not that difficult to speak, but why did it come into your mouth? I just like it a little bit?"
Xie Nandu looked at him and said with some confusion, "Is there anything abnormal about this? There are some."
Chen Chao asked, "When will it be all?"
"Who knows? Maybe you don't like it that day, then you don't like it. Whether you like this kind of thing or not, do you still have to do it?"
Xie Nandu shook his head and said with a smile, "That doesn't make sense."
The two of them quickly arrived outside the palace and boarded the carriage. Xie Nandu sat in the carriage and then asked, "I asked you by the lake, what did you think?"
She was also in the carriage that day and asked the young man in front of her if he liked her.
Chen Chao said angrily, "Do you have to ask so clearly?!"
Xie Nandu said nothing and just rolled up his sleeves.
Just this move made both of them stunned.
Because I don’t know when, a jade bracelet appeared on her wrist.
Judging from the color, this is an excellent jade bracelet.
But not before when Xie Nandu entered the palace.
"It's a gift from the queen."
Xie Nandu thought about it and realized that there was something strange on her wrist before, but she didn't bother with it. It turned out that the Queen was wearing the bracelet on her at that time.
She looked at the wrist carefully and said with a smile, "It looks pretty."
Chen Chao was also looking at the jade bracelet, with some other emotions in his eyes.
