When Rong Qingqing and Shangguan Yanran arrived at Longqian Residence with Haifu, they were surprised to find Xie Jingrun there as well.
Upon seeing the two enter, Emperor Zhaojing immediately stood up. "You've come at the right time. We have nothing to do today, so let's go to the valley for a barbecue."
Rong Qingqing and Shangguan Yanran exchanged a glance, both speechless.
I thought Emperor Zhaojing summoned me in such a hurry because there was something important, but I never expected it was just for barbecue!
The two of them were somewhat exasperated.
"Let's go, let's go." Emperor Zhaojing waved his hand and took the lead.
Xie Jingrun glanced at Rong Qingqing, slung his embroidered spring knife over his shoulder, and followed Emperor Zhaojing.
Shangguan Yanran nudged Rong Qingqing's arm, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "Xie Jingrun was looking at you just now."
Rong Qingqing paused, squeezed her fingers, and changed the subject, saying, "Let's go, let's go."
Haifu, accompanied by several eunuchs carrying various ingredients, followed at the very back.
No sooner had he emerged from his secluded dwelling than he ran into Fengxin and her brother.
"Father, where are you going?" Feng Xin stepped forward and hugged Emperor Zhaojing's arm, asking coquettishly.
"Let's go for a barbecue! You've come at the perfect time, come along." Emperor Zhaojing smiled and patted her head, though he hadn't originally planned to invite the two of them.
He was well aware of his daughter's thoughts. If she went with him, how could he possibly arrange a marriage between Xingxiu and Shangguan Yanran?
It's no wonder that girl will cause trouble.
Moreover, if she knew that he intended to marry Shangguan Yanran to Xingxiu, it would be strange if she didn't cause a huge uproar.
Therefore, Emperor Zhaojing actually had a bit of a headache when he saw Feng Xin.
"Barbecue! I love it!" Feng Xin's eyes lit up, and she readily agreed. Seeing Xie Jingrun behind him, she was even happier, immediately releasing Emperor Zhaojing and walking towards Xie Jingrun, "Brother Jingrun..."
Emperor Zhaojing's lips twitched slightly. He deliberately separated the two of them and said to Xie Jingrun, "Xingxiu, go and check the valley first. Make sure there are no hidden dangers."
Xie Jingrun was getting impatient with Feng Xin. Upon hearing this, he glanced at Emperor Zhaojing, had no objection, responded, and strode away.
Watching Xie Jingrun's tall figure leave, Feng Xin looked at Emperor Zhaojing with resentment, "Father, do you not like me anymore?"
Emperor Zhaojing coughed lightly, "How could that be?" After all, she was his only daughter. Although he disliked Situ Jin, this daughter was different from Situ Jin. How could he not love her?
"Then why did you send Brother Jingrun away?" Feng Xin pouted.
"I didn't send him away. Protecting my safety is his duty," Emperor Zhaojing said without batting an eye.
Feng Xin was silent for a moment, then suddenly mustered her courage, hugged his arm and said, "Father, I want to make Brother Jingrun my consort. I hope you will grant me permission."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhaojing choked on his own saliva, coughing repeatedly.
"Your Majesty!" Haifu was startled and quickly stepped forward to pat his back.
Feng Mo frowned and took two steps forward. "Is Father alright?"
Feng Xin was startled and quickly patted Emperor Zhaojing's back.
Seeing this, Rong Qingqing and Shangguan Yanran, who were standing behind, also stepped forward.
Shangguan Yanran was unaware of the situation, but Rong Qingqing knew why Emperor Zhaojing was so agitated.
Xie Jingrun and Feng Xin are siblings. How could Emperor Zhaojing not be shocked when Feng Xin suddenly proposed a marriage?
Unfortunately, this secret cannot be revealed for the time being.
Emperor Zhaojing must be very anxious at this moment.
