Yonghua Palace.

Xie Yunchu, Tang An, Yi Rui and other palace maids were waiting outside the palace.

After Hanxiang served the tea, she also came out. She looked at Yirui and asked, "What does His Highness want to say today?"

She was kicked out.

Yi Rui glanced at Xie Yunchu who was standing beside her.

Hanxiang frowned. Is it related to Young Master Xie?

That is related to the selection of a concubine, so what is your highness' decision?

Peeping.

Hanxiang saw that Xie Yunchu was in high spirits, and it seemed like a good result.

Yi Rui walked up to Han Xiang and whispered, "Have you been reading those pamphlets recently?"

Han Xuan's face turned red with embarrassment, "Why are you talking about this?" The Queen Mother knew that she liked to read storybooks with a few illustrations of handsome men and beautiful women.

He also said that he supports her having her own hobbies in her spare time.

Yi Rui asked, "What did His Highness say when he called you to the palace that day?"

Hanxiang remembered that it was the day when the Crown Princess came to Yonghua Palace, but ran into Lord Rong and the Queen and they were talking about something.

"It's nothing, just asked me not to tell the Queen that she was here." Hanxiang also said in a low voice.

Yi Rui frowned and looked at Han Xiang for several times, remembering the time when His Highness met the governor Yu Shiqi who stayed behind on the road...

He also said that he wanted to be a matchmaker for Yu Shiqi.

"What's with that expression on your face?" Yi Rui shook her head. She didn't know what to say.

How could Hanxiang just let it go? Just as she was about to ask, Yirui signaled her that Young Master Xie was still there.

Hanxiang had no choice but to give up.

But I felt a little restless and inexplicable in my heart.

Inside the palace.

The scent of sandalwood was lingering in the air, and Su Yun's heart beat faster when she saw Xiao Yao.

It must be said that she hasn't been so nervous and her heartbeat so fast in years.

"Get up quickly." He also bowed deeply.

Xiao Yao said: "I have been busy with official duties recently, so I have not come to pay my respects to you, mother. Please forgive me."

"It's not a big deal. As long as Yao'er is fine, I'll feel relieved." Su Yun pulled her to sit on the kang.

He looked at her tenderly.

This child can't tell the difference between the admiration of family affection and the admiration of love, right?

Xiao Yao felt very uncomfortable being stared at by her mother, and couldn't help but wonder, does her mother know how she felt about Uncle Rong?

Thinking of Uncle Rong, Xiao Yao felt annoyed to death.

If she hadn't been so wishful thinking, if she hadn't lost control of herself, how could Uncle Rong have discovered something, leading to the fact that Uncle Rong now refused to see her.

"Mother, I'm fine." She seldom spoke so softly.

This look reminded Su Yun of Yao'er when she was only two or three years old. She looked like a little glutinous rice and meat dumpling, very cute.

Su Yun looked at her with a smile. The little girl had grown into an adult. Her eyebrows were very similar to Xiao Lusheng's. It seemed that she could already see herself ascending the throne as emperor.

"Mother."

Xiao Yao felt a little uneasy when her mother looked at her. The scene that day when she saw Uncle Rong talking to her mother kept coming to her mind.

She is indeed bold.

It is so outrageous that he is obsessed with - he likes the Queen Mother's Uncle Rong.

Do not know why.

The figure of Xie Yunchu flashed through her mind. It seemed that because of him, her annoyance about the upcoming selection of her lord had faded a lot.

As for Uncle Rong, it seems that I am no longer so eager to be together with him.

To this day, she is actually a little confused as to whether her feelings for Uncle Rong are romantic or admiration.

"What is the matter that you asked Aunt Hanxiang to call me here?" she asked nervously.

Su Yun said, "Your birthday is in two days. Your father asked me to ask you, have you seen all the portraits of the candidates for the imperial concubines?"

If Yao'er really doesn't like Xie Yunchu, she can only choose another man.

As long as she doesn't have that kind of feeling towards Rong Xun, it will be fine.

"Mother, I came here today just to talk to you about this."

"Oh? Yao'er, do you have a man you like?"

Xiao Yao nodded, "Thank you, Duke of Guo, and thank you, Yunchu."

Although this answer was expected, it was also somewhat surprising.

After all, when Brother Rong said he would help Xie Yunchu, she was not sure it would work.

Looking at Yao'er, Su Yun felt a pang of pain in her heart, "Yao'er, tell me, did you really choose him from the bottom of your heart?"

"Of course, mother."

"Yao'er, every girl's marriage is extremely important. Your father and I both hope that you can choose someone you like. If it's really too urgent, it can actually be postponed."

Although they have plans, how can all plans be as important as their children's happiness?

"Mother, you keep your word."

Xiao Yao was very moved. In fact, there was a moment when she woke up in the middle of the night, and she felt a sense of urgency and helplessness as if she was being forced into marriage, pushed into bed, and making friends with a strange man.

She is also the Crown Princess.

In this world, other girls are arranged to go on blind dates and are urged to get married when they grow up. It is like their families pushing them into a strange man's bed. What is the difference between this and being raped by a strange man?

The only difference is the legality.

But the servant she chose was Xie Yunchu, and with Xie Yunchu, she did not feel that sense of urgency and helplessness.

All she had was the boy's affectionate eyes when he looked at her. It was a very familiar and natural feeling.

Even if they get married.

As long as she didn't want to, Xie Yunchu would never dare to mention serving her.

Xiao Yao leaned on her mother's shoulder and said, "Mother, I did not choose Xie Yunchu on impulse, but after careful consideration."

As the crown prince, she has no time to date other outstanding men.

Since there is no such choice, choosing Xie Yunchu is the best choice in her life.

At least this person, he, and his family will never betray her.

"Before, you said you just treated him as a younger brother..."

"The past is the past." He is like a little wolfhound now.

He is much bolder in what he says and does than before.

If her mother had said it, she would have never thought about the fact that Xie Yunchu was a few months younger than her.

Su Yun looked at her, what to say?

Xiao Yao was not reluctant to talk to her mother about him, "Anyway, from now on, I will not treat him as my brother anymore."

That’s all I have to say.

Su Yun was truly relieved. She looked at the cabinet not far away, which was filled with all the outstanding concubines from across the country.

"In that case, I will talk to your father and directly appoint Xie Yunchu as the Imperial Attendant."

Xiao Yao nodded, "Yes, I will follow the arrangements of Father and Mother."

Su Yun held her hand. This child really scared her so much that she couldn't sleep well for many days and nights.

Tonight.

She could really use some sleep.

After the mother and daughter finished their conversation, Xiao Yao said goodbye. Su Yun said, "Then the Queen Mother will prepare the betrothal gifts. You can review them and add what you want to give him."

Xiao Yao nodded.

She also knew in the past that if she became the crown prince, she would have to "marry" someone to serve the king.

But she never thought about preparing any betrothal gifts.

After leaving Yonghua Palace, Xiao Yao looked at Xie Yunchu first. When Hanxiang, Tang An, Yi Rui and others saluted, she raised her hand and went straight to Xie Yunchu, "What do you want as a betrothal gift?"
