Early the next morning, Sheng Bian Mo accompanied Qiao Ran to wash and change clothes, and then they went into the palace together in a Luan chariot.
Since Shengbian Mo had not greeted the palace in advance, he planned to go into the palace with Qiao Ran to have breakfast with his father and mother.
After entering the palace, as expected, a table of breakfast had been prepared in the main hall.
Even Sheng Ling came over, because she heard early that her brother was going to bring the future crown princess to the palace, and Sheng Ling was also curious about what kind of woman could capture her brother's heart...
When Shengbian Mo took Qiao Ran over, Sheng Zhiyu and Ji Xili had already arrived and were talking to their youngest daughter Sheng Ling. Until someone reported that His Highness the Crown Prince was here, Sheng Ling couldn't hold it in any longer. He looked around.
Not long after, he saw Sheng Bian Mo walking from outside the palace, followed by a woman with a cold temperament. She looked really stunningly beautiful.
Sheng Bian Mo first led the people to Sheng Zhiyu and Ji Xili to salute. Qiao Ran was obedient and saluted one by one according to Sheng Bian Mo's words.
Ji Xili didn't know what Sheng Zhiyu thought. Anyway, she was very satisfied when she saw Qiao Ran, because Qiao Ran was not only good-looking, but also seemed to be a bird-like person. Ji Xili Xili could tell that Qiao Ran listened to Sheng Bianmo's words.
"Your name is Qiao Ran, right?" Ji Xili looked at her gently and asked.
Qiao Ran sat down next to Sheng Bianmo, nodded slightly and replied, "Yes."
"It's a nice name. Let me call you Xiao Ran. Don't be restrained. Just treat it like eating breakfast normally." Ji Xili comforted her.
Qiao Ran nodded, but still didn't dare to go beyond the rules, and didn't dare to really mess around.
After all, even though the Empress said that, the Empress couldn't be too polite, and she was really presumptuous.
This is the royal family, not some other place, and it is not a place where Qiao Ran can be arrogant.
"Are you the same age as me? I'm sixteen this year." Sheng Ling looked at Qiao Ran for a long time and finally couldn't help but ask.
"yes."
"Okay, let's eat first. Don't scare Miss Qiao." Sheng Zhiyu glanced at Sheng Ling with a faint smile, and then Sheng Ling gave up.
During the next meal, the atmosphere was quite harmonious and warm, because Ji Xili could tell that Qiao Ran didn't dare to speak, and she didn't want to scare the little girl, so she didn't ask any questions, but occasionally asked Sheng Bian. Mo was joking about his childhood embarrassments, etc. Shengbian Mo felt helpless and couldn't help complaining: "Queen mother... in front of Ran Ran, please give me some face."
Ji Xili smiled and said, "What's the point? You and Xiaoran are planning to be together anyway..."
However, Sheng Zhiyu noticed that when Qiao Ran heard Ji Xili's words, he slowly lowered his head and ate silently.
After a while, Sheng Zhiyu looked at Qiao Ran and asked with a faint smile: "Are Xiaoran sure you want to be with Bian Mo?"
The tone of this statement sounded quite relaxed, as if it was just a casual question.
When Qiao Ran heard the emperor ask her this question, her half-lidded eyelashes trembled slightly, and she subconsciously glanced at Sheng Bian Mo beside her. After a while, she whispered softly: "I heard from Your Highness... "
When Sheng Bian Mo heard this, he raised his eyebrows proudly and said: "Father, I asked Ran Ran yesterday. She is very sure that she wants to be with me, but Ran Ran is thin-skinned and you are all here. She must be embarrassed to say that again..."
