Seeing her mother being beaten, Xu Youran stood up and said, "Dad, at this point, the most important thing is to find the person. The Crown Prince said that if we can really use Xu Jinyi to win over the ministers, the position of Crown Prince's Consort will be mine."
"In the future, our Xu family will have a queen."
Prime Minister Xu took a deep breath and looked at his beloved daughter.
Thinking of what the servant said, he believed that Xu Jinyi must be hiding in Ouyang's house, so he immediately brought people to their house.
Such a big move by Prime Minister Xu naturally could not escape the eyes and ears of the princess.
With a curled lip, he condescendingly took the meal and walked to the secret room.
Looking at the young man who was getting thinner day by day, I felt sad and angry.
"Want some food?"
Xu Haoran didn't even raise his eyelids. During these days of imprisonment, he only ate a few bites of food just to stay alive.
More often than not, the food that was delivered was left untouched where it was.
Seeing him like this, the princess had no choice but to ask, "Don't you want to know about your sister?"
This time Xu Haoran finally reacted and looked at the princess coldly.
Walk over and eat like a puppet.
After eating a little, he put down his chopsticks and asked, "How is my sister?"
Looking at the half-eaten meal, the princess didn't ask him to eat it all.
Considering the amount of food he eats every day, he has already eaten a lot. If he eats too much at once, he will feel uncomfortable later.
"Today, many people from different families in the capital are looking for your sister everywhere, so I sent someone to inquire about it."
"The Xu family told others that your sister went out and never came back, so they were looking for someone."
"But I have heard that the Xu family is going to marry your sister to the Wu family as a concubine in three days."
"Maybe that's why she ran away."
Xu Haoran clenched his fists in anger, his nails dug deep into his palms, and blood flowed out.
His eyes were as fierce as a storm, and he angrily swept the food on the table to the ground.
Putting both hands on the table, he loudly asked, "What do you want me to do in exchange for letting me go?"
At this moment, Xu Haoran had lost his mind. When he learned that his sister had escaped, his heart was in his throat.
His sister has been trapped at home since she was a child, and she has nowhere to go if she escapes.
Although he knew that she might go to find Zhixia, he was still worried.
As long as he doesn't leave, Mrs. Wu will never give up.
If my sister is found, what awaits her is probably...
"I said, as long as you are willing to be my princess's concubine and ask the emperor for a marriage, I will let you go."
"Don't even think about it!"
Xu Haoran gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at the person in front of him.
Seeing the man's disgusted eyes, the princess raised the corner of her mouth and said, "What do you think would happen if your sister was captured?"
After leaving this sentence, the princess turned and left.
Hearing the man's roar and the sound of the table being smashed behind her, the princess's face darkened.
She didn't expect Xu Haoran to be so patient. He had been refusing to let her get close to him for such a long time.
The sedan chair was carried directly into the Yangxin Palace before stopping: "Young lady, please get off the bridge."
Xu Jinyi lifted her skirt and walked out, and at a glance she saw the two stoves burning in the center of the hall.
It turns out the stove is so warm. The family is not poor, but Wu is the head of the family, so she can't get any charcoal.
Eunuch Wang Yun called the six maids at the door over and said, "Hurry up and run to the Imperial Household Department and have someone bring some new clothes for the young lady to change into."
"Bring over a few pairs of shoes and socks, too."
"And you, go serve the food."
After giving the order, Eunuch Wang Yun poured a cup of hot tea: "Miss, have a cup of tea to warm yourself up."
"Thank you, eunuch."
"Please, sir, please have my maid Su Mian taken downstairs to change clothes and have something to eat."
"No trouble, no trouble. Xier, come and take Miss Su Mian down to tidy up."
Xu Jinyi looked around but didn't see the emperor.
Wang Yun saw this and immediately said, "Miss, the emperor is meeting with ministers and will come over as soon as he is done."
Xu Jinyi breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that the man was not there.
After putting on new clothes, shoes and socks, Xu Jinyi felt warm all over.
Su Mian was taken away to change clothes and soon came back to help Xu Jinyi change clothes.
"Didn't I tell you to go eat?"
While Su Mian was tidying up Xu Jinyi's clothes, she said, "The young lady hasn't had her meal yet, so I'm not in a hurry."
After taking off the veil, Su Mian tidied up Xu Jinyi's messy hair.
When Xu Jinyi came out, the hall was silent. The six servants and two eunuchs were all stunned, staring blankly at Xu Jinyi's face.
This is a fairy!!
How can there be such a stunning beauty in this world! !
Even Eunuch Wang Yun was stunned. He had been with the emperor for many years, had participated in many beauty pageants, and had seen all kinds of beauties.
But no one can compare to the stunning beauty of the one in front of you.
Especially her fresh and refined outfit, charming but not coquettish, and peerless elegance, which stunned Eunuch Wang Yun.
Su Mian's face turned cold and he coughed lightly.
Her young lady was so beautiful, how could she let them stare at her like that?
The few people who came to their senses hurriedly lowered their heads, knowing in their hearts that this person would probably be the only favorite in the harem in the future.
And Eunuch Wang Yun finally understood that what the emperor said about the Queen was true.
In the conference room, the emperor looked at the chattering ministers with impatience, and finally couldn't help but interrupt them.
"Since you all have different opinions, let's discuss this later."
After saying this, the emperor stood up and strode towards the Yangxin Palace.
The emperor was overwhelmed with excitement when he thought that the person he had been thinking about was in the Yangxin Palace.
Looking at the open door, the emperor strode in, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
What caught my eye was Xu Jinyi, wearing a turquoise palace dress and lightly made up, sitting at the dining table.
There were not too many jewelries on her head, only a white jade hairpin, which was simple yet generous and elegant.
It looks so beautiful!
Although Prime Minister Xu was not nice to Xu Jinyi, he taught her the rules seriously.
I was afraid that I would lose face for him when I went out one day.
Xu Jinyi watched as the emperor, with an upright posture, wearing a dragon robe and a jade crown and hair tied up, stood up.
"Your servant Xu Jinyi wishes to present..."
The emperor strode over and helped her up. "No need to be so polite. I'm very happy that you can come."
There was a smile at the end of his voice, and his voice was clear and gentle, which made people feel at ease for no reason.
The emperor put his right arm around her slender waist and held her hand with his left hand as they walked towards the dining table.
Xu Jinyi's eyes flickered, she lowered her head shyly, and a faint blush appeared on her face.
"Why aren't you eating?" He glanced at the clean bowl in front of her.
Perhaps the emperor's gaze was too explicit, Xu Jinyi bit her lip lightly, not daring to look into his eyes.
"It's so rich and fragrant, I don't know what to eat."
An indescribable pain surged in my heart, and I felt even more dissatisfied with the old man Xu Songqing.
"Then let me accompany Yier to taste it bit by bit."
The emperor refused Wang Yun's offer to serve the dishes, and personally picked up the dishes for Xu Jinyi with chopsticks.
