112. So, best(1/3)
Xiao Shangshu Mansion in Leiyang City.
Chen Youruo helped Ning Ruyan get off the carriage at the door of Xiao Mansion. Just as he was about to enter, a voice sounded not far away: "The emperor ordered the owner of Chen Zhuang in Xuanjici Villa to come to the palace to meet him!"
Ning Ruyan's expression changed slightly. When she turned around, she saw an old eunuch with several palace guards.
"This is the owner of Chen from Keats Villa?" The old eunuch looked at Chen Youruo, who was covered with veil, and said in a strange tone, "Let's go with the zoo family!"
"Eunuch Yu, I don't know that the emperor summoned Miss Chen, is..." Ning Ruyan calmed down, took out a silver note from her purse, and handed it to Eunuch Yu when others were not paying attention.
Eunuch Yu smiled, but shook his head at Ning Ruyan, and did not receive the silver notes that Ning Ruyan handed over: "Don't worry, Mrs. Xiao, the Lord Chen came from Beimo Kingdom, and the emperor would not make things difficult for her."
Ning Ruyan's heart was slightly sank. She just wanted to ask from this Yu Eunuch Yu why Li Xiaotian suddenly came to Chen Youruo. But judging from the attitude of Yu Eunuch Yu, it seemed that something big was going to happen...
"Aunt Xiao, don't worry. Emperor Li summoned me and I'll go." Chen Youruo looked at Ning Ruyan with a calm expression and said.
Ning Ruyan nodded slightly: "Then Youruo, please follow Eunuch Yu quickly."
Seeing Chen Youruo getting into the carriage from the palace alone, Ning Ruyan frowned slightly and turned around and entered the door.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Xiao Yuanqi standing inside the door and looking at her. Ning Ruyan looked a little uneasy: "Your Majesty should have heard it, I don't know what the emperor suddenly summoned Chen Youruo."
"Let's talk about it when you go back." Xiao Yuanqi held Ning Ruyan's cold hand. They were not worried that Chen Youruo would encounter trouble, but that Chen Youruo would cause trouble for them...
Imperial study room of the Tianli Kingdom Palace.
Li Xiaotian was reviewing the memorial, and the prince Li Chenfeng sat quietly aside to drink tea. The father and son were silent for a moment.
"Your Majesty, the owner of Chen from Keats Villa has arrived."
Hearing the report from outside the door, Li Xiaotian put down the memorial in his hand, and Li Chenfeng put down the teacup in his hand.
"Enter." Li Xiaotian's voice.
The door opened, and Eunuch Yu bowed and made a call to Chen Youruo. Chen Youruo raised his foot into the imperial study room, and the door behind him was quickly closed.
"Jicuci Villa Chen Youruo, see His Majesty Li, Prince Li." Chen Youruo saluted Li Xiaotian and Li Chenfeng without being humble and arrogant. Chen Youruo was originally from Beimo Kingdom, and Keicuci Villa is also a force under the jurisdiction of Beimo Kingdom, so Chen Youruo did not need to kneel down and bow down when he saw Emperor Li and Li Chenfeng.
"Please sit down by the Lord Chen." Li Xiaotian looked at Chen Youruo with deep eyes. Chen Youruo lifted the veil as soon as he entered the door, without making any mysterious things.
Chen Youruo sat down, just opposite Li Chenfeng. Li Chenfeng smiled at her and said, "I have already read the letter from the Lord Chen who sent someone to me."
"Thank you, Prince Li." Chen Youruo lowered his eyes slightly.
This morning, Chen Youruo's follower Liang Bo secretly took a letter written by Chen Youruo to the Prince's Mansion in Leiyang City and met Prince Li Chenfeng.
Li Chenfeng read the letter written by Chen Youruo and came to the palace to report to Li Xiaotian, which led to the incident of Li Xiaotian summoning Chen Youruo to the palace. Li Chenfeng knew that Chen Youruo was thanking him for giving her a chance to meet Emperor Li.
"The Lord Chen said in the letter that he wanted to meet his father and give him a big gift. Now that the Lord Shen has seen his father, there is no need to keep him in hiding him anymore, right?" Li Chenfeng looked at Chen Youruo and asked. Chen Youruo's letter only said that she wanted to meet Emperor Li, and there was a big gift to Tianli Kingdom, but he did not say anything else.
Li Chenfeng chose to give Chen Youruo the opportunity to face the saint, but in fact, it was mainly because of Chen Youruo's identity. First, Chen Youruo was in charge of a special force like Keats Villa, and second, Chen Youruo was from Beimo Kingdom, and suddenly came to Leiyang City and said she wanted to give a big gift to Tianli Kingdom. Li Chenfeng felt that it would not be a trivial matter.
Chen Youruo said with a calm expression: "Emperor Li, Prince Li, the one who is mainly given to Tianli Kingdom is Keats Villa."
Li Xiaotian and Li Chenfeng looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Li Xiaotian still didn't speak. Li Chenfeng smiled slightly and said, "Is the owner of Manor Chen joking? Is the owner of Manor Chen planning to take Keats Villa to Tianli Kingdom? I, Tianli Kingdom, is naturally welcome, but the owner of Manor Chen always wants us a reason, or in other words, the owner of Manor Chen has something to ask for us based on this condition?"
Chen Youruo nodded slightly: "Prince Li is extremely wise. I dare not ask any conditions to Prince Li and Prince Li. It's just that there is something. I hope His Majesty Li can fulfill it."
"Oh? What's the matter with the owner of Manor Chen who needs me to accomplish? You might as well tell me." Li Xiaotian said with a faint expression.
Chen Youruo took out something from his sleeve and showed it to Li Xiaotian and Li Chenfeng, and then placed it on the table next to him: "Emperor Li and Prince Li should recognize what this is."
"The Divine Doctor of the Xiao family." Li Chenfeng's lips curled slightly, "I really can't understand the purpose of Master Chen's visit. As far as I know, the late Master Xiao and Master Shen's grandfather are close friends. As soon as Master Chen came to Leiyang City, he moved into the Xiao family. If Master Chen had something to ask for the Xiao family, it seemed that he didn't need this Divine Doctor of the Day."
"Prince Li, this magical doctor order is the token of grandpa Xiao's confidant handed to my grandfather." Chen Youruo said with a calm expression.
Li Xiaotian was slightly stunned for a moment, and Li Chenfeng said in surprise: "What Master Chen means is that you have a engagement with King Xiao?"
Chen Youruo nodded slightly: "That's right."
Li Xiaotian and Li Chenfeng looked at each other, and Li Xiaotian said lightly: "The Lord Chen is a smart man. You should know that the marriage between King Xiao and Princess Anping of Dongyang Guo is unchanged."
"I know." Chen Youruo nodded again, "I have no intention of destroying the marriage between Tianli Kingdom and Dongyang Kingdom."
"Master Chen might as well express his purpose directly!" Li Chenfeng looked at Chen Youruo and said.
"I had an engagement with King Xiao, but now Grandpa Xiao and my grandfather are gone. The Xiao family has driven King Xiao out of the house, so no one has decided for me, so I can only ask Emperor Li and Prince Li to fulfill it." Chen Youruo said calmly, "I admire King Xiao in my heart, and I only want to marry him. It doesn't matter if I don't become a concubine. My dowry is Keats Villa."
In the evening, Chen Youruo still couldn't see Chen Youruo coming back from the palace, and Ning Ruyan felt more and more uneasy. Chen Youruo just came last night and was easy to talk to, but today he went straight to the palace to see Li Xiaotian. Ning Ruyan always felt that Chen Youruo's visitor was not good. But Xiao Yuanqi said, let Ning Ruyan not have to worry.
"Mom." Xiao Xinyue walked in.
"Xin'er, you're finally back." Ning Ruyan pulled Xiao Xinyue and sat down beside her, looked at Xiao Xinyue and asked, "Xin'er, have you told Miss Su's things? What did she say?"
"Mom, that Miss Chen is so over-the-top!" Xiao Xinyue said with a stern face, "The token she holds in her hand is simply fake!"
"Xin'er, what did you say?" Xiao Yuanqi walked in with great strides, and obviously heard Xiao Xinyue's words, his face suddenly became dark.
"Dad, mom, listen to me." Xiao Xinyue told Ning Ruyan and Xiao Yuanqi seriously what happened after seeing Su Qi and Mu Yan today.
Ning Ruyan frowned: "What does the Shen family mean?"
Xiao Yuanqi said coldly: "Since the token is fake, our Xiao family does not recognize this marriage!" The so-called token of a relative, only if the things are still there can be trust. If the token is gone, the marriage will no longer exist.
"Dad, mom, when I came back just now, I heard that Chen Youruo entered the palace?" Xiao Xinyue looked at Xiao Yuanqi and Ning Ruyan and asked.
Ning Ruyan nodded slightly: "Yes, I don't know what she intends to do."
Xiao Xinyue said seriously with a little face: "Sister-in-law has guessed what she is going to do for a long time. Don't worry, parents, I will never let her succeed!"
Hearing Xiao Xinyue mention the word "sister-in-law" for the ninth time, Xiao Yuanqi frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Xinyue and said, "Xin'er, don't forget that Xiao Xinghan has been expelled from the house!"
Xiao Xinyue smiled and said, "Dad, I understand. I will only say it in front of you. I will never say it when I go out in front of outsiders!"
Xiao Yuanqi sighed helplessly.
"Master, Madam, someone is coming from the palace."
Hearing the sound from outside the door, Xiao Yuanqi's expression subsided and he stood up.
The one who came was the one Yu, and he passed Li Xiaotian's oral order and summoned Xiao Yuanqi to the palace to meet with his wife and daughter.
The family of three quickly went out and got on the carriage. Ning Ruyan glanced at Xiao Xinyue and frowned and asked Xiao Yuanqi: "Mr., even if there is anything, the emperor can just go to you. Why do you ask Xin'er and I to enter the palace together?"
Xiao Yuanqi shook his head slightly: "Don't worry, there will be no problem. You just need to remember one thing. Xiao Xinghan has been expelled from the Xiao family. For the others, you don't have to be nervous."
Xiao Xinyue held Ning Ruyan's hand and said, "Mom, don't worry, I know what that Chen Youruo wants to do. The emperor is just looking for us. I will make her regret it at that time."
Just when Xiao Yuanqi and Ning Ruyan brought Xiao Xinyue into the palace, Su Ji also received Li Xiaotian's oral order into the palace. At the same time, Dongfang Ziyu, who was in the inn and Xiao Xinghan, who was in the Xiao Palace, all came to the palace.
As night falls, a small banquet with a small number of people is about to begin in the Tianli Palace.
Li Xiaotian sat in the upper position, Li Chenfeng was sitting below, opposite him, Dongfang Ziyu with an inexplicable expression.
Li Chenfeng started with Chen Youruo in white clothes, and directly opposite Chen Youruo was Xiao Xinghan's position.
Xiao Xinghan is still wearing an ink robe. The silver mask on his face has not been taken off for many years. His eyes exposed outside are as cold as ice, making people shudder. The quiet eyes fall on Xiao Xinghan from time to time, but Xiao Xinghan never glances at her from beginning to end.
Su Ji came, and after saluting Li Xiaotian and Li Chenfeng, he sat down after Xiao Xinghan looked at his eyes, his nose and heart, and his expression was extremely calm.
The last one to arrive was the Xiao family of three. Xiao Yuanqi walked in front, and Ning Ruyan and Xiao Xinyue followed him.
"Long live the emperor, I'm here!" Xiao Yuanqi knelt down and saluted, and Ning Ruyan and Xiao Xinyue also knelt down.
"Xiao Aiqing is flat." Li Xiaotian said with a smile.
Seeing Xiao Yuanqi and his wife and daughter get up and sit down, Li Xiaotian looked at Xiao Xinghan without any trace.
Since Xiao Yuanqi appeared, Li Chenfeng's eyes have been on Xiao Xinghan, because the reason why he and Li Xiaotian asked Ning Ruyan and Xiao Xinyue to come together was to see what Xiao Xinghan would react.
Li Chenfeng was disappointed, and Xiao Xinghan sat there, like a cold sculpture, and even his eyes did not change.
"I wonder why Emperor Li came to me to come?" Dongfang Ziyu asked in confusion. He had no idea what happened. Li Xiaotian held such a strange banquet at this time. The man Chen Youruo was still someone Dongfang Ziyu didn't know at all. He didn't know what Li Xiaotian wanted.
"Prince Dongfang is a little restless. I want to introduce someone to you first." Li Xiaotian said with a smile, and looked at Chen Youruo after he finished speaking. "This is the owner of Chen from Keats Villa in Beimo Kingdom. I believe you have heard of it."
Dongfang Ziyu nodded slightly: "I have heard of the name of Lord Chen."
"I'm here today. It's about King Xiao's marriage. I'll discuss it with you." Li Xiaotian smiled slightly and said, "Master Chen, take out such things for everyone to see."
Chen Youruo nodded slightly and took out the divine doctor order so that everyone could see clearly.
Xiao Xing was so cold and Su Ji was calm and calm, but Dongfang Ziyu's expression changed: "What does Master Chen mean? What does this have to do with King Xiao's marriage?"
"The Prince of Dongfang should know that the late Old Doctor Xiao and Old Master Shen from Keats Villa are old friends. When the old Doctor Xiao and Old Master Shen were the masters, they decided to marry King Xiao and Lord Shen. This genius doctor order is the token." Li Chenfeng said with a smile.
Dongfang Ziyu's expression turned cold: "Emperor Li, Prince Li, what does this mean? The marriage is about to be close. Is your Tianli Kingdom going to break the contract? My Dongyang Kingdom's sincerity is enough!"
Dongfang Ziyu was annoyed at once because the marriage between Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan was very passive from the beginning to the present, and the middle was still very frustrated, and it was finally about to be done. As a result, the royal family of Tianli Kingdom found a woman who had an engagement with Xiao Xinghan. Dongfang Ziyu only had one feeling now, and it was too much bullying!
"Prince Dongfang is calm and I promise that no matter what, the marriage between Tianli and Dongyang will continue as usual." Li Xiaotian looked at Dongfang Ziyu and said.
Dongfang Ziyu said unhappily: "Since Emperor Li said that, I want to know what this owner of Manor Chen from Beimo Kingdom wants to do?"
Chen Youruo did not speak, Li Xiaotian looked at Xiao Yuanqi: "Xiao Aiqing should know about the marriage between the two juniors that Mr. Xiao and the owner of the manor Shen back then?"
Xiao Yuanqi lowered his eyes slightly: "If you go back to the emperor, this is indeed the case."
Chen Youruo frowned slightly and glanced at Xiao Yuanqi. She thought Xiao Yuanqi would definitely deny it, but she said she didn't know it, but she didn't expect Xiao Yuanqi to admit it directly. However, this happened to be a good thing for her.
Li Xiaotian smiled slightly: "King Xiao should also know, right?"
Xiao Xinghan said in a cold voice: "I don't know."
Chen Youruo's eyes dimmed, and Li Xiaotian's eyes flashed slightly: "Oh? Why didn't King Xiao know about such an important thing? Or did King Xiao not want to recognize this relative?"
