"Morning court?" Xie Qingyao only realized when she woke up completely that He Zheng did not attend the morning court.
"I'm afraid that if you go now, you can only have lunch with His Majesty."
He Zheng: "Yes, I have asked His Majesty for three days' leave."
"..." Xie Qingyao raised her head, her voice still a little hoarse, "If the Marquis asks for three days of vacation, won't others be envious?"
"Yeah." He Zheng held Xie Qingyao's chin and wiped her face with a wet handkerchief.
Xie Qingyao enjoyed the service, her whole body still limp. She closed her eyes and muttered, "He Qiyun, look, this is the lesson after indulging yourself. You can't even attend the morning court."
"How do your colleagues view you?"
"Most people would say that even the diligent Marquis of Anguo has become lazy and slack."
He Zheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, wondering why she had so many weird ideas in her head?
He couldn't help but pinch Xie Qingyao's cheek lightly, "You're just naughty."
Xie Qingyao opened her eyes, pushed He Zheng's hand away, and said confidently, "Just kidding."
He Zheng pulled her out of the quilt and held her up, "Help her stand up."
To dress her.
“…”
Xie Qingyao's face immediately became hot. She pursed her lips and said truthfully, "My legs are weak and I can't stand steadily."
The room was quiet for a moment.
He Zheng frowned slightly.
Xie Qingyao said quickly: "Do you want to be cruel to me?"
This made He Zheng laugh out of anger.
He put his arm around Xie Qingyao's waist and held her on his lap.
"Why are you so fierce?"
"I'm henpecked."
Xie Qingyao raised the corner of her mouth, thought of something, and suddenly slid down a little, sitting on his knees.
Learn from last night's painful lesson.
Wait until she is dressed.
He Zheng's voice was gentle and deep: "Are you hungry? Should we serve the meal now?"
He had people prepare delicious food long ago so that Xie Qingyao could eat it when she woke up.
Xie Qingyao nodded, "Okay."
…
The Crown Princess was finally decided.
She is not the daughter of the Situ family, nor is she Wen Xuechun.
Wen Xuechun was not surprised at all.
The queen was shocked. The prince would rather choose an insignificant outsider than her, Situ's daughter.
I can’t describe the feeling in my heart.
"Mother, please be considerate of the Crown Prince. He is in a difficult position, caught between you and father." Princess Yongle comforted.
"How could the Queen Mother possibly prevail over the Emperor Father?"
"Father will not allow the Crown Prince to marry the daughter of the Situ family as his Crown Princess."
"Even if the Queen Mother and the Emperor continue to argue and debate, the most Situ can do is become a consort of the Crown Prince."
These queens are not clear about this.
Princess Yongle saw that she had softened a little and said, "Mother, at least the Crown Prince has chosen the one he likes. What could be more important than this?"
In-laws... ultimately, they need to know how to restrain themselves.
The Situ family is already prosperous enough now, and it would be too greedy to dream of producing a queen.
The Queen nodded, "Mother understands everything you said."
But she always remembered that she was the daughter of the Situ family, and deep down she always hoped that the Situ family would continue to prosper.
This is the only value of her sitting in this position.
The queen slowly closed her eyes and sighed.
"Well, it's because my mother has been constrained by the family education she received over the past decade or so."
"You and the prince should follow your own wishes and live for yourselves."
Her entire half-life has been the glory of her family. She can be gentle, dignified, and a model for the country.
In charge of the six palaces, without fighting or competing.
But she never thought about what she really wanted.
Power is not what she wants.
Love is simply a fantasy in this imperial family.
Only this pair of children...
The queen raised her hand and touched her daughter's head. All she could do was to protect them.
The Crown Prince chose the Crown Princess, but Princess Yongle was still at a loss as to what to do with her own feelings.
She hurried to find Xie Qingyao to learn from her.
"Dou Xiao was like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw me. Am I really that scary?"
A cloud of worry covered Princess Yongle's face.
"Qingyao, please teach me how to take down a hard man."
“…”
Xie Qingyao chuckled, "I don't know how to win over a stubborn person, but I do know how to win over someone who has you in his heart."
If the other party is not interested, no matter how many tricks you use, they will be in vain.
If Dou Xiao also had Princess Yongle in his heart, this matter would be much easier.
Princess Yongle paused and said, "I can sense that Dou Xiao also has feelings for me."
"One time I pretended to fall off a horse and he came over and cushioned me. His face was completely red."
"And several times, I caught him secretly looking at me!"
That intuition is very subtle.
But she just felt that Dou Xiao liked him just like she did.
"It's just that what stands between us is too difficult to cross."
"Identity, status, and future."
"Princess Shang...Dou Xiao's future will be ruined."
Xie Qingyao patted her hands and said, "It's okay. We all have our mouths."
"Go play the straight ball first and confirm Dou Xiao's intentions."
"If Dou Xiao really likes you, then you should confess to His Majesty and tell him that you have a crush on a particularly promising and outstanding man, and ask His Majesty to allow him to become your consort and retain his original position."
Princess Yongle was stunned.
"Is this okay?"
Xie Qingyao nodded heavily, "Why don't you try it and know?"
"Your Majesty may be the Son of Heaven, but he is also your father. No father would not want to see his daughter happy."
