"Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Your Majesty, there is no need to be so polite." Nan Ling smiled calmly. He came here to stay under someone else's roof. Xie Zhan was polite to him, but he had to give Xie Zhan face.

From the beginning to the end, he seemed not to have paid attention to the actions of Mr. Shu and his family, and took care of Zhen Mi Niang's food and drink with the utmost tenderness.

Mingxiu saw all this in her eyes and felt relieved.

Anything can be deceived, but genuine consideration cannot deceive people.

Now Nan Lingfeng's actions can be regarded as confirming the news they had previously received.

Although the two of them have combined interests, Nan Lingfeng is really considerate of Zhen Mi Niang, and it is enough to know this.

Such a farce was nothing in the eyes of everyone. It was just the female relatives laughing at Shu Wenqi's bold and unruly behavior.

Except for the Shu family, it has no real impact on others.

"The emperor really wants to choose the queen from among the ladies present today?"

Mingxiu frowned slightly. She couldn't tell what her mood was, but it definitely couldn't be called wonderful.

"The candidates for the queen have been decided long ago. No matter how outstanding these people are today, they can only be concubines."

If it hadn't been for Ming Xiu's words just now, there would be no guarantee that a high-ranking concubine would emerge among these people.

Pity……

He didn't understand why Mingxiu was frowning, but he was certain that he didn't want to see Mingxiu worrying about others.

"Why, are you envious of them being able to marry the emperor?"

Even though she knew that Mingxiu could not have a place for the emperor in her heart, she had a good relationship with the emperor and was just a friend.

But seeing her so concerned about the emperor's harem, Xie Zhan still felt uncomfortable.

You know, Mingxiu never cared about his inner house.

How could Xie Zhan feel better when his bright future husband was passed over by the emperor?

The full jealousy made Mingxiu dumbfounded, "Where did you think you were going? I just think... they are a little too young."

Getting married too young is not a good thing.

But Xie Zhan obviously couldn't understand these.

In his mind, it was normal for him to know about people at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and to start a family at the age of fifteen or sixteen. On the contrary, like Mingxiu, it was too late to have the idea of ​​getting married until he was about eighteen years old.

Even though he didn't understand, Xie Zhan also knew that many times Mingxiu's thoughts were different from those of most people.

Although he didn't know why, he still chose to support it.

It is enough to prove that Mingxiu's sadness was not caused by the emperor's marriage.

"Your Majesty, it is a good thing to have your eldest son as soon as possible."

After all, the emperor is young. Although the methods he displays now are very impressive, who knows what the situation will be like in ten or twenty years?

If the eldest son is born soon, those old stubborns can rest assured and less trouble will occur.

This is definitely a good thing for the current emperor.

Mingxiu nodded in confusion, "That's what I said."

In the final analysis, whether the emperor gets married or not has nothing to do with Mingxiu. She just regrets that Hua Guduo was destroyed at such a young age.

Xie Zhan always had his own reasons for doing things, not to mention that the emperor's marriage should be something that everyone in the court and outside the court would like to see.

After a moment of silence, Mingxiu asked again: "What do you think of what Shu Wenqi and her parents did this time?"

"Of course I can't let him go lightly." A cold smile appeared at the corner of Xie Zhan's mouth, and his eyes were as deep as if they had been soaked in thousands of years of ice, making people shudder. "If I let it go lightly this time, it would make people shudder."

I think this king is easy to provoke."

Even though Mr. Shu once acted well under him, once he became disloyal, Xie Zhan would not keep him.

What's more, when he was planning to retreat, Xie Zhan already wanted to withdraw his apparent power.

As for why not let go completely.

After all, Xie Zhan is also worried about people's hearts.

The emperor looks good now, but who knows what he will be like in ten or twenty years?

It's not his fault to leave no escape route.

Hearing this, Mingxiu's eyes seemed to have a hint of mockery.

When Shu Wenqi wanted to destroy her, Xie Zhan said: For the sake of the overall situation, be patient. But now the person their family has offended is Xie Zhan, but...

People who don't do it for themselves will be punished by heaven and earth.

There is actually nothing wrong with Xie Zhan's choice. It is actually understandable and even acceptable for Mingxiu to calm down.

but……

Touching his chest, Mingxiu's eyes were filled with sadness.

Why is my heart so cold?

What kind of person is Xie Zhan?

As soon as she showed such a scene, Xie Zhan understood.

It seems like something is going to be lost.

He put his arm around Mingxiu's shoulders without hesitation, "I plan to punish the Shu family this time not just because they challenged my authority, but also for you."

If they just offended him, the Shu family would indeed not be in trouble, but Xie Zhan definitely would not be so angry.

What he wants to do now is not only to vent his anger, but also to miss Mingxiu and hate Shu Wenqi for drugging him that day.

But some things should be said when Ren wants to hear them.

Mingxiu had calmed down and looked at Xie Zhan with a gentle face, "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry so much, I understand."

There seemed to be a bit of emotion in his eyes.

In Xie Zhan's heart, Mingxiu has always been a straightforward person. Whenever she is dissatisfied, she will not act so pliable.

Even so, with her acting like this now, Xie Zhan's uneasiness not only did not lessen, it actually got worse.

He quickly grabbed Mingxiu's wrist to explain, "I..."

"Xiu'er, are you there?"

The banquet had ended long ago, and Mingxiu and Xie Zhan were waiting for Hang Ziheng and others to clean up the banquet hall and go home after the final finishing touches.

If it were in full public view, they wouldn't be able to say such personal words.

Hearing Zhen Miniang's voice, Mingxiu broke away from Xie Zhan's hand without even thinking, "I'm here."

Zhen Mi Niang didn't think too much. When she heard Ming Xiu's voice, she opened the door and came in without saying a word.

Faced with Xie Zhan's unkind eyes, she glanced at the two people in the room, and she suddenly felt blessed.

She smiled sheepishly at Xie Zhan and said, "Go on, I'll go out and wait." As she said that, Zhen Mi Niang was sweating profusely and planned to exit and close the door.

Glancing at Xie Zhan lightly, ignoring how ugly his face was, Mingxiu stepped forward and took Zhen Mi Niang's hand, "Isn't it time for you to leave the palace now? Why are you still here?"

After the banquet ended, Zhen Miniang and Nan Lingfeng should be the first to leave the palace and return to the inn.

"The emperor is here to talk to my husband. I'm waiting for him here. I heard that you haven't gone back yet, so I wanted to come and talk to you."

"Ahem."

Xie Zhan's warning eyes fell on Zhen Mi Niang.

He had never felt that his little cousin was so ignorant. He clearly had something to do with Mingxiu here, but she didn't seem to be able to tell.

Zhen Miniang didn't wink at all? She was just explaining to Xie Zhan why she came here.

Although she is considered Xie Zhan's sister, she is now Nan Lingfeng's wife.

The second princess of the Southern Dynasty was broken up after staying in the palace in the desert for a long time. Naturally, she had to explain something to her master, Xie Zhan.

She has no conscience, she didn't come here just to mess with Xie Zhan.

There is no possibility of being with Xie Zhan anymore. Such a good man should naturally be left to his sisters.

Zhen Miniang's mind is very simple, and she doesn't have much persistence in Xie Zhan, and some of it is just a delusion in her girlhood.

Seeing that Xie Zhan's face looked ugly, Zhen Mi Niang touched her nose in embarrassment and said, "Looking at the time, it's time for me to be together. I won't disturb your business, so I'll leave first."

"It's time for me to go back, let me come with you."

Mingxiu knew how ugly Xie Zhan's face was without looking back, but she didn't want to pay attention to it now.

His attitude towards the Shu family made Mingxiu confused for a moment as to what attitude he should take towards him.

Although escaping is not a good way to solve the problem, apart from escaping, now Mingxiu doesn't know what to do.

Zhen Miniang subconsciously wanted to agree, but...

Glancing at Xie Zhan quietly, she quickly shook her head, "No, no, I have to go back to the post house with my husband, it's a bit inconvenient."

It is really unreasonable for Mingxiu, Xie Zhan's fiancée, to ride with the second prince of the Southern Dynasty who lives under someone else's roof.
