Xia Jinxiu's heart pounded. Although she thought it was impossible, she was afraid that the emperor would really do it.

"Your Majesty, what the civilian girl said is true." Xia Jinxiu said again.

However, all this was naturally problematic in the eyes of Emperor Shun De.

"In this case, it's natural that I can't force you." Emperor Shun De said.

Xia Jinxiu glanced at him, not sure if she had gotten away with it.

He sat for a while, but said nothing. Xia Jinxiu only felt that the air around her was oppressive and made her breathless. Her spirit was tense, and she was afraid that he would notice something.

After Emperor Shun De left, she breathed a sigh of relief, but it didn't take long for her to feel that something was wrong and she had to go home and tell him.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Shun De had already arrived at the General's Mansion first.

Xia Zhizhi happened to come to see Mrs. Xia today. When she heard that the emperor was coming, she subconsciously frowned.

Emperor Shun De behaved very calmly, nothing strange at all.

[What is he here for? What's the fuss about? 】

The Xia family couldn't figure it out, so they could only deal with it carefully.

After the pleasantries, Emperor Shunde asked about the real purpose.

"Miss Xia is extremely intelligent and has superb cooking skills. She is also the daughter of General Wei. I intend to arrange a marriage for her. What do you think, madam?"

Mrs. Xia was startled.

【Referring to marriage? What does marriage mean? Are you sure I'm not dragging you into the harem? 】

Xia Zhi almost rolled her eyes when she heard this.

[No, even if she doesn’t enter the palace as a concubine, my little aunt definitely doesn’t want to marry someone casually. With my little aunt’s temperament...]

Naturally, Xia Zhi knew nothing about Xia Jinxiu, but in order to prevent Emperor Shun De from influencing her aunt's marriage, she replied: "Your Majesty, my aunt has already been engaged."

"Did you get married?"

[What expression is that? Don't you seem surprised? This is impossible? 】

"Why haven't I heard about it?" Emperor Shun De asked.

Mrs. Xia reacted very quickly. Her granddaughter was right, so she echoed: "Yes, Jinxiu really doesn't have such a blessing. We have already been engaged. If we hadn't come to the capital, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to do anything." It’s time to get married.”

The rest of the Xia family also acted according to the situation and nodded.

Although Wei Ronger couldn't hear what the little girl was saying, there must be a reason why they all said that.

What's more, he also knew that his family didn't like Xia Jinxiu entering the palace.

"Is this true? You're not trying to prevaricate me, are you?"

Wei Rong smiled and said: "That is the crime of deceiving the emperor, how dare you?"

"Are you willing to let her marry far away?" Emperor Shun De asked.

"There is nothing we can do about it. I never thought I would come to the capital before. I have already resigned and just want to live in the country. But the most important thing is to keep your promise. Since you are engaged, so what? It can be violated, not to mention that the two children are in love and have the same mind."

Emperor Shun De didn't change his face. He was the emperor, so it wouldn't be a big deal if he fell out because of something like this.

But originally he only fell in love with Xia Jinxiu's appearance, but now he feels like he is catching prey. The more she refuses, the more he wants her.

Xia Zhi saw the light in the emperor's eyes and secretly felt bad.

[Could it have aroused his desire for conquest? Could it be that he still wants to get his little aunt into the palace? 】

Mrs. Xia was also sweating. No matter how good the palace was, nothing could be better than having her daughter alive.

What's more, she is very content as it is now.

If you are not favored in the palace, you will be bullied; if you are favored, you will be jealous and plotted.

Emperor Shun De did not get the answer he wanted. In such a short period of time, he absolutely did not believe that they would collude.

In other words, Xia Jinxiu is really engaged.

But you're not married yet, are you?

Xia Jinxiu hurried back, but she was frightened to death when she heard from her servants that the emperor was also there.

It's over, she won't still bring trouble to the whole family!

No, we have to settle accounts, and it's her alone.

Xia Jinxiu hurriedly came to see Emperor Shunde, and his panicked look made Emperor Shunde suspicious again.

"Why did Miss Xia come back in such a hurry?"

Xia Jinxiu glanced at everyone in the room, their expressions were normal.

[Could it be that the emperor went to see my little aunt first? 】

[Did my little aunt also say that she was engaged? 】

Xia Jinxiu wanted to nod, yes, that's it.

"I...I...I just felt very guilty for not making tea for you, Your Majesty, so I hurried home to get some good tea."

[Sure enough, he really went. So for him to come to the house now and say that he wants to marry my little aunt, is this all a test? My aunt must have said that she was engaged, otherwise wouldn't the emperor be allowed to fall out? 】

Xia Jinxiu heard it, and everyone in the Xia family also heard it, and everyone thought about it.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, you don't think I lied to you when I said I was engaged, right?" Xia Jinxiu knew what was going on, so she was no longer afraid and asked with a smile.

Emperor Shunde's expression remained unchanged. Although he was right, he did not feel guilty. He was the emperor.

"Miss Xia is joking. I just came to see General Wei. He is the pillar of the country. I still think that since he has returned to Beijing, he can be reinstated to his original position."

Xia Jinxiu smiled brightly and said, "That was a misunderstanding among the people. Your Majesty forgives me."

Anyway, the family didn't tell anything, so Xia Jinxiu wasn't afraid anymore.

The little girl must have reacted smartly and quickly. Xia Jinxiu knew that the little girl saved the lives of the whole family again.

This emperor is really ruthless. He just went to her place with his front foot, and now he comes to prove it.

Your Majesty, you have nothing else to do?

Just thinking about what he did to Wen Heng's mother, she kept away from him and would not consider him his woman.

If you don't protect yourself, you will be the next Wen Heng's mother.

……

After Emperor Shun De left, the whole family, including Wei Rong, felt like they were surviving a disaster.

Xia Jinxiu even slumped on the ground, "I was scared to death. Why did he really come to our house? I hurried and took my time, and even took a small road, but he couldn't come faster than him."

"Jinxiu, what's going on?" Mrs. Xia was also afraid, but she still wanted to find out the reason.

As soon as Xia Jinxiu explained the matter, everyone looked at Xia Zhizhi who was eating the melon calmly.

It’s true that I eat melons. Xia Zhi felt that the ancient melons were not sweet enough, so I had to put them in space to improve them later.

This is another sum of money.

"Fortunately, Zhi Zhi responded quickly and insisted that you were engaged, so we just went along with it, otherwise... it would be really bad."

Xia Jinxiu hugged Xia Zhizhi, "My little girl, you saved the whole family. Who would have thought that he would still have such thoughts? I don't want to enter the palace. I don't know why I died."

Wei Rong nodded, "The problem now is that we can't get married."

Xia Jinxiu took a deep breath, "What should I do if no one is there yet? I didn't think about it that much!"

"Master, there is a father and son outside who want to see the young lady."

"See me?" Xia Jinxiu was startled, "Who is it?"
