Xue Xuexuan saw Chunyu and knew that she was Zhao Que's maid. She couldn't help but teasing her. "Your maid looks even prettier now."
Zhao Que's four maids had been serving Zhao Que since childhood, so Xue Xuexuan naturally knew them.
When Chunyu, who was wearing pink clothes, heard this, her face suddenly turned the same color as her clothes, and her hand holding the tea became a little unsteady.
But before Chunyu could say anything, Zhao Que said, "You only know how to bully people. Chunyu bandaged many of your wounds back then.
But I didn't expect that you, the little girl who loved to go fishing in the fields and pick fights everywhere, have grown up into a beautiful lady."
The speaker may not have intended it, but the listener may have taken it to heart. Zhao Que just made this compliment casually.
Xue Xuexuan's mind got hot, and she wanted to tease Chunyu a few times, but her words were suddenly blocked, as if she had become the object of the teasing.
His face suddenly turned red and he said nothing. A trickle of sweat seeped out from his forehead and stuck to his long black hair between his eyebrows.
The memory fell on the first time the two of them met.
That was more than ten years ago, on a stormy night.
Her mother had just passed away, and her father was still on the battlefield.
Xue Da, who had just made great contributions, basically had no contact with any other officials or generals.
On the day of burying her mother, she ran out crying secretly, in the cold night rain and the roar of thunder.
Then an umbrella blocked the wind and rain for him, and the body of the person in front of him fell into the heavy rain.
Without saying much, he just waited there quietly.
She waited like this until she was tired of crying, then she said, "The rain has stopped. Where is your home? I'll take you back."
There is not much comfort, only quiet companionship.
The intersection of the two appeared in this way, and since then, his father basically never returned home, defending the country on the border.
I was bored at home, but there was only this person in front of me to play with and fight with those who called me a playboy.
Later I learned that this person's mother, like myself, also passed away that year.
The fate of the two was similar, so they naturally became good friends. He also knew that he could not practice...
I also promised that if anyone bullied him, I would protect him for the rest of my life.
Just like he held an umbrella for me all night, I will shield him from the wind and rain throughout his life.
But in the current situation, she didn't want to bring these dangerous storms to him.
Although he didn't know the identity of the person in front of him, his fate was decided by the two most powerful people in the entire empire.
"Why aren't you talking? This isn't like you." Zhao Que looked at the silent Xue Xuexuan and felt that she was a little confused. "I remember you used to be a chatterbox."
"........I am the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo." Xue Xuexuan suddenly spoke, the ends of her hair tied up with a wooden hairpin fluttering slightly, as if free.
Zhao Que naturally knew her identity, but he didn't know it when they met.
But after he summoned Luowang, he knew that at that time, for his safety, Zhao Gao had basically investigated everyone who was close to him, from top to bottom.
When Zhao Que first learned that Xue Xuexuan was Xue Da's daughter, he was a little surprised.
Now Luowang has taken root in the entire capital city. It can be said that there is a spider everywhere in the capital city. Even Zhao Que may not know that those people are the subordinates developed by Luowang.
"I know." Zhao Que nodded. Xue Xuexuan was a little surprised by his expression, but she naturally knew that Zhao Que's identity was not simple.
Most likely he is the son of a minister or a wealthy businessman, otherwise he would not have such a maid and status.
"I'm getting married." There was some sadness in Xue Xuexuan's eyes. All this happened too fast and she was not ready yet.
Zhao Que remained silent. He came to the capital just for this news.
Seeing that Zhao Que didn't answer, Xue Xuexuan seemed to muster up some courage, or maybe she wasn't the type to hesitate. "Will you take me with you?"
Xue Xuexuan naturally understood that if they left, there would be no place for them to stay in the world.
But they can go out into the world and travel around the world.
Perhaps she would not have come in at first, but the wind from heaven blew open the door and gave her courage.
Why can't I live my life for myself and the people I love?
Zhao Que looked at Xue Xuexuan's determined eyes and nodded.
He took out a jade pendant from his arms, which was one half of a concentric jade pendant.
With a firm look in his eyes, he handed it to Xue Xuexuan: "This is what my mother left for me, don't worry, I will marry you.
I will be ready, in fact I am... "
He didn't know what his father meant, so naturally he had to fight for it.
Before Zhao Que finished speaking, Xue Xuexuan shook her head and said, "I don't need to know your identity. I only know that you are you."
Xue Xuexuan was afraid that he would be shaken after knowing his identity. After all, what she had done was not a trivial matter.
And since he has done it, Zhao Que's identity is no longer important. He will be a wanted criminal anyway.
"Okay, I'll be ready." Zhao Que nodded and said nothing more.
After the two of them reminisced about the past, Xue Xuexuan left reluctantly and finally looked at the courtyard in the distance.
She was afraid that all this would disappear.
At this moment, the Fourth Prince was hunting in the garden. Arrows pierced the chests of his prey one after another, and there were countless small prey under his feet.
There were as many as nine large prey such as wild boars and antelopes.
"Your Highness is a great archer, just like Your Majesty." A steward saw this scene and wanted to compliment him.
He is the manager of this hunting ground, but his power is not too great. He usually serves the dignitaries who come here.
He had met His Majesty Da Gan when he was young, and the appearance of the man in front of him made the steward recognize him without much hesitation.
They are so similar. The Fourth Prince in front of him is basically carved from the same mold as Your Majesty when he was young.
However, upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince revealed a strange smile: "Really? Many people say so, but it's a pity that there are not many prey here.
I plan to go back after hunting ten prey, but it seems that it is getting dark now, and I don’t know when I can find the prey.”
When the steward heard this, his face was filled with joy, thinking that his chance had come.
He quickly went to the hunting ground, took out his whistle, and blew the mating sound, hoping to lure out some large prey.
