The long night.
At this time in the inn, Liaocheng King Anran walked into Anqin's room and looked at Anqin with doting eyes.
An Qin was choosing the headwear to wear tomorrow. When he saw An Ran coming in, he smiled and said, "Dad, you are here."
"Dad thinks this looks good and suits Qin'er very well. What do Qin'er think?" An Ran walked up to An Qin at this time, selected a green hair ornament, and handed it to An Qin.
At this moment, An Qin took over the Diancui hair ornament chosen by the King of Liaocheng, then looked at her and sighed and said, "No matter how beautiful it is, what's the use? Tomorrow I will enter the Shuo Mansion as a concubine."
"Qin'er, don't worry. I believe this is only temporary. I heard that you met Princess Qingcheng when you were shopping today?" Liaocheng King Anran said to him with a smile, and then asked An Qin.
After hearing this, An Qin frowned slightly, then looked at Suotu aside and whispered, "You are such a big mouth."
"Princess, it's..." After hearing this, Suo Tu couldn't help but look at An Qin with a look of grievance. Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the laughter of the King of Liaocheng.
The King of Liaocheng laughed loudly and said, "Qin'er, don't blame Suo Tu. It was me who came to Suo Tu to ask what happened to you outside. Only then did Suo Tu tell you about your encounter with Princess Qingcheng." Come on, I wonder what Qin'er thinks of Princess Qingcheng?"
"Huh, daddy didn't know something. When Princess Qingcheng heard what Qin'er said, her face turned black." An Qin said with a proud look at this time.
The King of Liaocheng nodded after hearing this, and then warned An Qin, "Qin'er, don't take anything lightly."
"Dad, what are you afraid of? I don't think Princess Qingcheng will be my opponent." An Qin raised his head and said to the King of Liaocheng.
The King of Liaocheng sat down next to An Qin, and then signaled Suotu to exit.
After Suo Tu went out, the King of Liaocheng said to An Qin in a serious voice, "Qin'er, when you arrive at Shuo's Mansion, you have to be careful at first and not make enemies. Only after you gain the trust and favor of Shuo Hou can you... "
"Dad, these daughters all know." Before the King of Liaocheng could finish speaking, An Qin interrupted him and said impatiently.
At this time, the King of Liaocheng sighed again, and then said, "No matter what, you must ensure your own safety at all times, and deal with Princess Qingcheng in moderation. After all, dad is waiting for you to get married, and he will return to Liaocheng. It is impossible to do it in time. I can help you, but when dad returns to Liaocheng, he will find some experts to join you in the imperial city and protect your safety!"
"Thank you, dad. I know that dad treats Qin'er best." After hearing this, An Qin said to the King of Liaocheng with a smile.
The King of Liaocheng looked at An Qin with doting eyes, then patted his hand and said, "It's getting late, dad won't disturb Qin'er's rest."
"Dad, walk slowly!" An Qin looked at the King of Liaocheng with a smile.
The King of Liaocheng then walked out of Anqin's house.
After returning to the house, King Liaocheng sat in the house and couldn't help but look out the window.
The late autumn moonlight looked unusually cold and bright, and King Liaocheng felt a mixture of joy and sorrow at this moment.
The happy thing is that his Qin'er has grown up and will get married tomorrow. He is very happy. The worried thing is, can everything really go according to their plan
Thinking of this, the King of Liaocheng couldn't help but let out a long sigh, then walked to the bed and lay down. No matter what the outcome was, he would let his Qin'er retreat safely.
Then the King of Liaocheng fell asleep. Tomorrow his Qin'er will get married, so he can be more energetic!
Soon the King of Liaocheng fell asleep.
Qiao Mansion.
Just as Qiao Shu was about to fall asleep, she heard movement at the door. She immediately sat up from the bed, grabbed the quilt tightly, and then asked, "Who is it?"
"Miss Qiao's hearing is indeed very sensitive." Lan Ruojing rushed to Qiao Shu's bed, then lifted Qiao Shu's chin with her hand and said.
At this time, Qiao Shu suddenly pushed away Lan Ruojing's hand on his chin, and then said to him, "Didn't I tell Mr. Lan last time? There is no way I can agree."
"Really? If Miss Qiao doesn't agree, at most she still has lingering feelings for Shuo Ling. However, if I inform you about this, I'm afraid you will change your mind." Lan Ruojing sneered at Qiao Shu at this time. Then he stood up and looked at the full moon outside the window and said.
Qiao Shu wrapped the quilt around her body, and then said to Lan Ruojing, "Master Lan, don't waste your time, I won't agree to it no matter what!"
Qiao Shu said calmly at this time.
"Miss Qiao, why don't you listen to me tell me about this matter before making a decision!" Lan Ruojing turned her head at this time and said to Qiao Shu.
Seeing that Qiao Shu was silent, Lan Ruojing said, "Tomorrow, Miss Qiao's sweetheart will take Princess Anqin, the daughter of the King of Liaocheng, as his concubine!"
"What are you talking about? How is it possible for Shuohou to have a concubine? Mr. Lan, don't let me hear about it!" Qiao Shu couldn't help being shocked after hearing this, and then looked at Lan Ruojing and said to him with a questioning face.
After hearing this, Lan Ruo sneered at Qiao Shu, "I don't have time to make fun of Miss Qiao here. The emperor just issued the imperial edict this afternoon. Tomorrow will be the day when Shuohou takes Princess Anqin as his concubine. If Qiao If you don’t believe me, miss, you can go to Shuo Mansion tomorrow to ask for a wedding drink!”
"Mr. Lan, it's already getting late. It's very disrespectful to show up in a woman's boudoir. I won't send you off." After hearing this, Qiao Shu couldn't help but feel mixed feelings in her heart, and then she weakly said to Lan Ruojing.
After Lan Ruo heard this in shock, she walked up to Qiao Shu and then put her face close to Qiao Shu.
"I really feel sad for Miss Qiao. After staying by Shuo Ling's side for so many years, Shuo Ling didn't even look at Miss Qiao twice. Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Lan Ruo was startled and then looked sorry for Qiao Shu.
Seeing that Qiao Shu was still silent, Lan Ruojing laughed loudly and then said, "Miss Qiao has figured it out and wants to go find me."
"No!" Qiao Shu stared at Lan Ruojing and said.
Lan Ruojing then stood up straight, glanced at Qiao Shu, and left Qiao Shu's house in a flash.
After Lan Ruo left in shock, Qiao Shu couldn't help but slumped down on the bed, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes.
Lan Ruojing was right. She had not completely let go of Shuo Ling. She thought it was Yang Zijin's appearance that made Shuoling ignore her. She didn't expect that after marrying Yang Zijin, he would accept someone else as his wife. concubine.
Although it was an imperial decree, she had known Shuo Ling's temperament over the years. If he didn't agree, how could the emperor issue an imperial decree.
Thinking of this, Qiao Shu couldn't help but burst into tears. It turned out that Shuo Ling had never seen her in his eyes.
Qiao Shu couldn't help but feel a trace of hatred welling up in her heart, and then comforted herself, wondering if this was Lan Ruo's excuse to ask her to help her with the arrangements, so she decided to take a look at her tomorrow and go find out more about it.
Qiao Shu then lay down and fell asleep.
At midnight.
Shuo Ling, who was sleeping, heard the sound of birds chirping outside, so he opened his eyes and then looked at Yang Zijin, who was sleeping beside him.
He gently sat up from the bed and ran outside.
As Shuo Ling spoke, he walked to a forest in the imperial city and stopped.
Then Bai Zhanfei's voice came from behind Shuo Ling, "Master Hou."
"General Bai called me here now, but what's important?" Shuo Ling turned around and asked Bai Zhanfei behind him.
Bai Zhanfei took two steps forward, and then said directly, "I heard that the emperor has decreed that the beloved daughter of the King of Liaocheng will be the concubine of the Marquis?"
"That's true." Shuo Ling nodded and said.
After hearing this, Bai Zhanfei turned around, clenched his left hand, and then punched a tree next to him with his fist. Suddenly, the leaves on the big tree fell one after another.
"I knew Master Chu Youtian would try his best to have people come to monitor you." Then General Bai said through gritted teeth.
Shuo Ling chuckled at this time, "Don't worry, General Bai, I have my own way."
"Shuo Ling, you need to be more careful. I have seen this Liaocheng king who followed the late emperor before. He will definitely not let his daughter marry someone else as a concubine. I am afraid that the Liaocheng king among them is also planning What are you doing?" General Bai stared at Shuo Ling and said to him.
Shuo Ling nodded at this time, "Of course the Liaocheng King's wishful thinking will not succeed, but if something happens again in the future, let the carrier pigeon deliver it, and then I will go back to the Youyou Valley to avoid being caught. see."
"Well, all masters must be careful. If there is nothing else, I will go back." Bai Zhanfei nodded at this time and disappeared into the night.
Then Shuo Ling looked around and hurried back to Shuo Mansion!
After returning to the house, Shuo Ling went to check on Yang Zijin again and saw that he was still sleeping soundly. Then he walked forward, covered him with the quilt, and then placed a kiss on his forehead before looking outside. Go!
After all, this was the emperor's personal order, and he still had to do the superficial work. When daybreak, I don't know how many eyes were staring at him.
At this time, the rooster has crowed twice, and it is almost Yin time, and the sky is gradually starting to get brighter.
Shuo Ling returned to the study at this time, and not long after, Mo Li walked in and said to Shuo Ling, clasping his hands, "Master Hou."
"Is everything ready?" Shuo Ling raised his head and asked Mo Li thoughtfully.
Mo Li nodded at this time, and then said, "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, there is absolutely no problem with your superficial skills, it's just..."
"Just what?" Shuo Ling frowned slightly and looked at Mo Li and asked.
Li Qiye paused for a moment, and then said, "There are still the Marquis's wedding clothes that I haven't tried on yet. The Marquis needs to go..."
"No need." Before Li Li could finish speaking, Shuo Ling said without even thinking.
Mo Li frowned slightly at this time, and then said, "The subordinate put the wedding clothes in the room."
Seeing that Shuo Ling stopped talking, Mo Li cupped his hands and walked out of the study.
Judging from the appearance of their Marquis, the lady must have been angry with their Marquis because of this matter. Thinking of this, Li Moli turned to look at their Marquis again, his face was full of worries, and Li couldn't help but feel sorry for their Marquis. .
He knew that the Marquis did not tell his wife about this because he did not want her to worry, but more importantly, he did not want her to get into a dilemma!
