"Silly boy, the Emperor's uncle doesn't want to delay you because of the Crown Prince. Besides, your father and mother are outside, and there is no one around you to take care of you. I feel very sorry for you!"
When Murong Xu heard that Pei Xuan was using the prince as an excuse again, he looked worried, but he was also afraid that Pei Xuan would take a fancy to the candidate proposed by the queen, so he said, "Don't worry Xuan'er, uncle will definitely choose the one you like. As long as you like it, I’ll send it to your house.”
The queen obviously knew that she couldn't act too hastily, so after hearing the emperor's words, she also nodded, "Yes, Xuan'er chooses what she likes."
The two of them were going back and forth, seemingly talking about the same thing, but they were actually completely different. Pei Xuan blushed after hearing what they said, "Uncle, aunt..."
Seeing him like this, Murong Xu and Mrs. Xu proposed the matter of getting married out of calculation, but now they really felt like they were elders.
"Look, we are all young men, why are you still shy? Marrying a wife and having children is a major event in life. Sooner or later, it will happen one day. Don't be so reserved about any girl you like." The queen taught Pei Xuan like a loving elder.
Pei Xuan blushed even more after hearing this, "Auntie, stop talking. I am the younger brother anyway, and I cannot disrespect my elder brother in getting married first."
When Murong Xu and Mrs. Xu saw that he couldn't make sense, their expressions became gloomy. For this reason, they couldn't settle Murong Zhao's marriage, so they couldn't control Pei Xuan. How could they not be depressed.
It was just a moment of gloominess. Soon Mrs. Xu glanced at the emperor, pursed her lips, and said, "Okay, you two brothers are really a worry for me and your uncle the emperor, but who makes us your elders? By then, both you and the prince will be sure to marry a beautiful woman of your choice!"
Seeing that he was at a disadvantage today, the emperor stopped talking and looked at Pei Xuan with concern: "How is Xuan'er recovering? I heard that an expert saved you. Where is he?" Why didn't you see him? He saved you and he was kind to me. I will reward him well!"
Su Tang has been using the eyes and ears of the orange cat to act as a melon-eater in the space. Seeing Pei Xuan interact with these two people, it is a bit comforting. Before, the teacher was worried that Pei Xuan had always been simple and ignorant of the world, and would be in this capital. Suffering and being plotted against.
Today, Su Tang watched Pei Xuan deal with the emperor and the empress, and she was quite decent. She seemed to be peaceful, but she insisted on the position that she was a junior, so that the two could not be too strong.
Then she saw the emperor asking him again. Su Tang looked at Pei Xuan, wondering how he would respond, and worried that he would not be able to handle it and would involve her again.
Sure enough, when the emperor asked, Pei Xuan fluttered her long eyelashes, pursed her lips, and then replied, "He said I was fine and left."
There was still disappointment on his face. Seeing this, Su Tang raised his eyebrows slightly. The young man had made great progress. The acting was quite real.
When the emperor heard Pei Xuan's answer, he still didn't believe it, so he asked, "Why did he leave? What is his name? Do you know?"
Pei Xuan shook his head, "I asked him, he said it didn't matter who he was, and then he asked for one hundred thousand taels of silver and left."
These words are true and false together. Su Tang said that the young man has mastered the true meaning of telling lies!
"One hundred thousand taels?" The queen was surprised.
