There are no more three members of the prince's family in the main hall. Except for Emperor Yuan He who is sitting high up in the front seat, only Jing Heng's mother and son are left sitting on either side of the room in the huge room.

"The daughter of the people pays homage to the emperor, long live the emperor!" Qin Xiaoxiao knelt down and saluted Emperor Yuan He with lowered eyes, feeling a little nervous.

Emperor Yuan He didn't scream. He looked at the well-behaved girl in the hall, his calm and powerful eyes showing a trace of scrutiny.

As early as seven or eight years ago, he knew that his only nephew had an extra playmate. At first, he didn't take it to heart, thinking that children were changeable and it wouldn't be long before Jingheng would forget about this playmate.

A few years later, Xuan Jingheng came to the palace to speak. Unexpectedly, the people he sent came to nothing. The boy took a few days off from the Imperial Academy and went to celebrate the birthday of others in the remote valleys of the countryside.

It was only then that Emperor Yuan He became somewhat curious about Qin Xiaoxiao, wondering what kind of interesting little girl it was that his lonely and lonely nephew could value her so much.

However, he was curious, and with so many things to do, he couldn't spare the time and energy to summon a little girl to the palace, so he put the matter aside and only teased his nephew a few words when he saw him.

Later, Emperor Yuanhe visited Jingheng, but he often saw no one there. After many times, he knew where Jingheng had gone without the need for palace officials to tell him in detail.

Last year, taking advantage of the opportunity for the princes to choose their concubines, he ordered portraits of girls with good family backgrounds and good looks to be sent to the Princess Protector's Mansion. However, Jing Heng returned them all, and the king of the country became suspicious.

Not long ago, he learned from Princess Protector that Jing Heng invited Qin Xiaoxiao to participate in the autumn hunt, and Emperor Yuan He had the idea of ​​meeting her.

Firstly, I got rid of the curiosity about Qin Xiaoxiao that had been accumulated for many years. Secondly, I wanted to see if Qin Xiaoxiao had some intention to interfere with Jingheng and prevent Jingheng from getting married.

Seeing that Emperor Yuanhe refused to let Qin Xiaoxiao stand up for a long time, Jing Heng was not happy. He ignored Princess Protector's eyes and raised his hands and said: "Uncle Emperor, the ground is cold, and Heng boldly begs you to skip the kneeling ceremony with Xiaoxiao."

Emperor Yuan He looked at his nephew in silence, and finally said helplessly to Qin Xiaoxiao: "No courtesy, I'll give you a seat."

Qin Xiaoxiao's knees were feeling uncomfortable. Hearing this, he quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When she got up, she winked at Jingheng to express her gratitude.

The corners of Jingheng's lips curled up, then quickly disappeared, and he sat back on the chair again.

The two of them thought they were very secretive, but they didn't know that Emperor Yuan He saw their little moves clearly, and also saw Qin Xiaoxiao's appearance clearly. They couldn't help but say "Huh" in their hearts, and they always felt that Qin Xiaoxiao looked very familiar.

, as if I had seen it somewhere.

"Xiaoxiao, come sit here with me." Princess Huguo waved towards Qin Xiaoxiao and motioned for her to sit next to her.

"Thank you, Your Highness, Princess!" Qin Xiaoxiao blessed the Princess Protector, walked over in an orderly manner, and sat down on the other side of the tea table.

Seeing her nervousness, Princess Protector said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, the emperor already knows that you are not afraid of danger and saved A Li and Yu'er on the hunting ground. He summoned you to reward you heavily!"

After that, she said to Emperor Yuan He jokingly: "Brother, this child is timid, don't scare her."

Emperor Yuan He came back to his senses and saw these two people treating themselves as villains. He was angry and funny for a moment: "This girl dares to save people from a tiger's mouth, but you say she is timid. Am I more vicious than that tiger?"

Having said that, he was a little less suspicious of Qin Xiaoxiao and a little more tolerant.

Emperor Yuan He knew very well that even if his nephew was young and unpredictable, his cautious and wise sister could not be deceived by a teenage girl.

Hearing the words of the most noble brother and sister in the world, Qin Xiaoxiao gradually relaxed and said sheepishly: "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, if Brother Li hadn't been there to restrain the two evil tigers today, the daughter of the people would never have had the guts to save her.

people!"

Seeing that she didn't take the opportunity to claim credit, Emperor Yuan He couldn't help but take a high look and asked with interest: "If Heng'er fails to restrain the evil tiger, are you not going to save people?"

When Jing Heng heard this, he frowned. He was about to say that Emperor Yuan He was in trouble when he saw Qin Xiaoxiao said with an expression of embarrassment: "Your Majesty, a common girl doesn't know what to say. She's afraid of offending the holy face by telling the truth.

Lies and criminals deceive the king."

Emperor Yuan He couldn't hear the implication of her words, so he became less suspicious of her, and his expression became gentler: "Tell the truth, and I will forgive you."

Qin Xiaoxiao stood up quickly and bowed deeply to Emperor Yuan He: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After that, she said truthfully: "As Her Royal Highness the Princess said, the daughter of the people is very timid. If Brother Li hadn't turned his horse around to save His Highness Changsun today regardless of the danger, the daughter of the people would have wanted to run as far as possible. If Brother Li hadn't

If the evil tiger can be restrained, the women will try their best to delay the attack until the rescuers come."

This was indeed her real thought. Regardless of the danger, she traded horses with Li Ke and negotiated terms with the two tigers. She did not want Jing Heng to suffer any consequences, otherwise she would do this because she thought her life would be long.
