Chapter 423 Meeting the Emperor
Mention Qiao Ruer.
Qi Neng's heart skipped a beat.
He still wanted to leave, but in the end he was still greedy and wanted to listen, so he turned back with his head lowered, covered his face with a fan, and sat opposite her.
Tang Yue'er had just pulled down her veil to drink a sip of water, but she didn't expect that her face would be seen by him. Now when she looked up and saw him like this, she couldn't help but find it funny. This man was really disgusting.
Even though he was already so uncomfortable, he still sat down greedily.
Tang Yue'er no longer cared about the scar on her face. She even thought his evasiveness was ridiculous. So she said with a smile, "You don't have to be like this. The person you like is not me."
Qi Neng was a little embarrassed by what he said. He put down the fan, but he didn't look directly at Tang Yue'er. Instead, he said, "I'm sorry. I ate too much when I went out this morning, and my appetite is a little uncomfortable."
"What did you say happened to Miss Qiao?" he asked.
Tang Yue'er didn't mind his attitude towards her, and said to him directly: "I heard that you like Qiao Ru'er, so I suggest you go to Miss Qiao's house and ask for her hand in marriage."
Qi Neng almost choked on his own saliva after hearing these words.
"Are you kidding?" That's the saint, how dare he?
Besides, she had clearly shown her disgust for him last time, so proposing to him was out of the question.
So Qi Neng stood up and said, "You may not know me very well, nor do you know her very well. It's impossible for us." After he finished speaking, he was about to leave.
"Master Qi!" Tang Yue'er called him without hesitation, "Don't forget, she is a saint, chosen by the emperor of Daliang, and the most popular person in Daliang now. If you succeed in marrying her, you will not only marry her, but also the whole wide avenue in the future. Are you sure you don't want to give it a try?"
Qi Neng stopped again.
He hesitated.
She added, "Besides, she has just arrived in Daliang. She may not even remember the names of other men. I remember that you had a private chat with her at the border last time, and you were the first to do so. Are you sure you don't want to give it a try?"
After hearing this, Qi Neng finally came back and sat down again.
He asked: "Why do you want me to go to your house to ask for marriage? What good will it do you?"
After all, his family is an official, so he is still wary. What if she is taking advantage of him?
But Tang Yueer said: "This is of course good for me, otherwise I wouldn't be looking forward to her getting married."
She said, "Qiao Ruer has a brother, Qiao Jiu, who loves her very much."
"Only Qiao Ruer got married."
She said with certainty: "Only Qiao Jiu can marry me!"

late at night.
Xu Wang came to the palace as requested by the empress. Xu Wang stood outside the Minglang Palace of the empress Ning Zhuo, looking at the bright lights inside.
I feel quite emotional.
There have been few wars recently, so apart from discussing state affairs in the court, she hasn't summoned him alone for a long time.
And many years ago, the two of them fell in love and did have a relationship.
But after all, I was a teenager and didn’t understand love, so it ended too hastily.
Later, he was ordered to bring Ning Zhuo back from Da Zhou.
She devoted herself to the battle for the throne of Daliang that lasted for more than ten years, and finally stood in a high position.
Regardless of whether she took the wrong path or regretted her time in the Great Zhou, her life was too exciting and she was bold and responsible. This may also be the reason why the two of them could not continue together in the end.
He pursued stability all his life, but Ning Zhuo sought happiness without regrets.
They are not on the same path after all.
Thinking of this, Xu Wang felt a pity in his heart. He couldn't help but shake his head, patted the dust off his sleeves with his hands, regained his composure, and walked in with his body bent, like a minister paying homage to the emperor.
Inside the door, Ning Zhuo and Tang Wanru were already waiting.
Tang Wanru arrived earlier, so Ning Zhuo allowed her to eat some cakes. Now she lowered her head and licked her lips with the tip of her tongue, swallowing all the residue.
Although Ning Zhuo seemed to be sitting upright, not breaking the queen's posture, he actually caught her little movements out of the corner of his eye.
She exchanged a glance with her female official Wen Qing and couldn't help but laugh softly.
She is really cute.
No wonder her son likes her. If she were a man, she would like her too.
Outside, she is the dark master of the dark realm, and at home, she has a cute and simple side. Who can not like such a daughter-in-law?
But she can't be too obvious now.
After all, they haven't officially recognized each other, and she doesn't know whether she knows her identity. They are just partners now, so she has to endure it.
But it's really hard to bear.
There were several times when Ning Zhuo almost couldn't hold back.
At this moment, Xu Wang came in bowing and kneeling, he said: "I am Xu Wang, your humble servant, here to see the emperor."
The atmosphere suddenly became serious.
Ning Zhuo said to him, "General Xu, please don't be polite."
Xu Wang stood up immediately. He looked up and saw Tang Wanru standing here. He couldn't help but feel a little strange. In fact, he had already felt a little strange when Tang Wanru went to deliver the message to him that day.
But at best, she thought that the Queen might just like her and asked her to deliver a message.
But now he felt that she belonged to the Queen.
Thinking of this, Xu Wang lowered his head again. Ning Zhuo couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw that he was still so cautious.
After all these years, he still hasn't changed.
"General Xu, thank you for your hard work recently!"
Xu Wang was stunned for a moment and didn't react to what she said.
"I heard that because of the incident at Plum Blossom Lane, your wife had a deep misunderstanding of you, and it even affected your relationship. This was my fault, and I apologize to you."
On the one hand, Xu Wang placed the woman in Plum Blossom Lane to help her, but on the other hand, Ning Zhuo knew that Emperor Zhou was coming, so he sent a message to ask Xu Wang to arrange the first disaster for him.
She really didn't expect to be misunderstood by Mrs. Xu.
Xu Wang could not bear the empress apologizing to him, he lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, you would never dare to do that. This matter has absolutely nothing to do with your arrangement."
