No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 154 Don't Regret! (one more)
After driving away the annoying Wei Changting, Xie Yan's mood did not improve.As a result, when he was flipping through the memorial, his frown became tighter and tighter, and the air pressure in the study also became lower and lower.

The subordinates who came in to report the matter were all scared out of breath by the obvious low pressure, and had to report what they wanted to say in the fastest and most concise language, and then disappeared into the study at the speed of light.

"My lord, the Empress Dowager summoned me."

Xie Yan couldn't help but get darker when he heard this, he hadn't told the Empress Dowager that he had rejected the girl from the Luo family.Although Mrs. Luo's actions these past few days seem ordinary, the Empress Dowager must have been keeping an eye on the movements of the Luo family, and she must be a little anxious.

"Understood, this king will enter the palace now."

Getting up and changing clothes, Xie Yan was about to get into the car when he left the door when he heard a voice not far behind him, "His Royal Highness the Regent."

Xie Yan glanced back at the girl who had been standing on the street corner for an unknown amount of time, "Who is it? What is it?"

The expression on Ruan Yueli's face was a bit gloomy, and she said with a slight blessing: "My daughter, Ruan Yueli, has met His Royal Highness the Prince Regent."

Xie Yan remained silent, Ruan Yueli immediately remembered that he had asked two questions.If he didn't answer, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent would probably throw up his sleeves and leave immediately.

Ruan Yueli said in a low voice, "I want to talk to the Prince Regent alone."

Xie Yan said: "Don't talk about it, just go back."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and got into the carriage, the curtain was pulled down, and the carriage moved quickly.

"My lord!" Ruan Yueli eagerly wanted to go forward, but was blocked by a person who suddenly appeared beside him.

As a weak woman, she was naturally unable to resist the two tall and slender men, so she could only watch Xie Yan's carriage go away.

When the carriage turned around the street, the two guards flew away silently and disappeared into the street, without saying a word to Ruan Yueli from the beginning to the end.

As soon as Xie Yan stepped into the empress dowager's bedroom, he saw the empress dowager looking at him with a face full of hatred, "You said you..."

"aunt."

The Empress Dowager said angrily: "Tell me, what's going on with the Luo family? This...even if the Luo family doesn't like you, you should tell me."

The Empress Dowager looked at her nephew suspiciously, "The Luo family is not ignorant of etiquette, did you do something? Why did you suddenly give the second daughter of the Luo family a look at her?"

Xie Yan was silent for a while, and said, "It has nothing to do with the Luo family."

"Who is it related to?" The Empress Dowager asked who it was related to, but her eyes were fixed on Xie Yan.As if to say, of course it's all your fault.

Xie Yan said: "I rejected the Luo family a few days ago."

The Empress Dowager only felt that her eyes went dark, and she almost fainted.

Pointing at Xie Yan for a long while speechless, "You...you..."

Seeing the old man become so angry, Xie Yan also felt very guilty, sitting beside the bed and said in a low voice: "Auntie, I'm sorry."

The Empress Dowager took a while to finally calm down, dismissed the maids who came to serve, pointed to Xie Yan and said, "Tell me about you, what do you want to do? I heard from Xian Yu and Zizhen that you also like that girl very much." Yes."

The Empress Dowager had some headaches. She was anxious, but she didn't want to really mess up the mandarin ducks.

If she didn't feel that her nephew was really different from that girl from the Luo family, why would she do this?The result was good, the Luo family didn't say anything, he pushed him out first.

Now it's all right, the Luo family has been quiet for the past few days and has not had any seizures, which is really magnanimous and self-restraining, even if he figured it out later, she would not have the old face to bring up this marriage with the Luo family again.

Xie Yan held the trembling hand of the Empress Dowager, stood up and said, "Auntie, I am in trouble, so why bother other girls."

The Empress Dowager said angrily: "According to what you say, many men in this world shouldn't get married at all. After all, they can't guarantee that they will live in peace for the rest of their lives. I shouldn't have married your uncle back then. Years of hard work?"

Xie Yan smiled lightly: "This is different."

"What's the difference?"

Xie Yan didn't answer.

The Empress Dowager shook her head and said: "Forget it, I can't control you, you should think about it for yourself. Let me remind you of one thing, there are as many girls in the Luo family as people want to marry, and as many as you don't want to. When the girl is really engaged, it may be too late for you to regret it. Even if you regret it, the Luo family will not care whether you are the regent king or the general of the town, when the time comes..."

The Empress Dowager waved her hand to signal him to leave, her eyes were gloomy and she was obviously a little disheartened.

She felt that she would probably never see her nephew get married in her life.

Forget it, it's useless to press the cow's head without drinking water, so I'd better wait until the future goes underground and then talk to my husband and son.

Seeing his aunt like this, Xie Yan felt very guilty.

The Empress Dowager wanted to say something, but she had already closed her eyes, obviously she didn't want to pay attention to this rotten piece of wood.

Xie Yan had no choice but to get up, and looked at Eunuch Huang who was standing beside him, "Grandpa Huang, Aunt Huang is here to trouble you."

Eunuch Huang quickly bowed and said: "My lord, you are being polite, it is all the old slave's business. My lord, forgive me for talking too much, the words of the empress dowager are not unreasonable. How can life not encounter stumbling blocks? Just like the old slave, in the early years Fleeing famine and almost starving to death, and then following Gaozu to the battlefield, I don’t know when he will die. If I didn’t have any hope in my heart at that time, how could I have imagined that I would have today’s day?”

Although he is a servant who waits on people, Eunuch Huang is already satisfied.

"Besides, if there is someone who really cares, naturally you have to watch and protect yourself to be at ease? Besides yourself, who else in this world can make you feel more at ease?"

After finishing speaking, Eunuch Huang knew he was talkative, so he bowed to Xie Yan and made two bows.

Xie Yan nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Huang, for your guidance."

Coming out of the Empress Dowager's Palace, she happened to meet Empress Dowager Zhu coming over holding the little emperor's hand.

Seeing Xie Yan, the little emperor immediately ran over with a smile.

"Uncle Royal."

Xie Yan's solemn expression softened a bit, and he bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, come to pay your respects to the Empress Dowager?"

The little emperor raised his head and looked up at the tall man in front of him, "Uncle Emperor, call me Ah Cheng."

Xie Yan smiled and said, "Okay, Ah Cheng."

Only then did the little emperor cheer up, and said: "The queen mother said that all good filial piety comes first, and Ah Cheng should be an example for the world. He should come to pay his respects to the emperor's grandmother every day."

Xie Yan said: "What Bai Shan Xiao said first is good, but the imperial grandmother has just fallen asleep, Ah Cheng doesn't need to disturb her old man. Go in and have a look, Huang Gong will convey your filial piety for Ah Cheng, and the Empress Dowager will be very happy when she finds out of."

The little emperor nodded and said: "The Tai Tuo said that the imperial grandmother is ill and needs to rest more. Ah Cheng can't disturb the imperial grandmother too often."

Speaking of the little emperor's immature face, he has always been very close to his loving grandmother. Now that the emperor's grandmother is ill, he can't see the emperor's grandmother often except to ask for peace, so he feels a little sad.

"Good boy, Ah Cheng."

Hearing the uncle's praise, the little emperor smiled happily again.

"I don't know." After the uncles and nephews had finished speaking, the Empress Dowager Zhu next to her spoke.

Xie Yan nodded slightly, "Sister-in-law."

Empress Dowager Zhu frowned slightly, and said, "Zhifei, I heard...the empress mother wants you to marry the Luo family's daughter?"

Xie Yan's eyes darkened slightly, "Auntie just called Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Chun'anbo's Young Madam into the palace the day before yesterday to appease him, so such a rumor came out?"

Empress Dowager Zhu quickly said: "No, I know I misunderstood, I just..."

Xie Yan nodded, with a bit of alienation and scrutiny, said: "It's just a misunderstanding. It's okay for me to be a man, but the reputation of General Luo's daughter can't be ruined. If the emperor's wife is okay, I will leave the palace first."

Empress Dowager Zhu wanted to say something, but under Xie Yan's distant and indifferent gaze, she could only stop silently.

Xie Yan nodded, bid farewell to the little emperor, turned and left.

"Queen mother, have you quarreled with the emperor's uncle?" the little emperor asked in a low voice, pulling the sleeves of the queen mother.

Empress Dowager Zhu forced a smile and said, "How could it be? Ah Cheng misunderstood."

"Oh." The little emperor rolled his eyes and obediently responded.

But in my heart, I decided that the emperor's uncle must have quarreled with the queen mother.

In his heart, the emperor's grandmother, the queen mother and the emperor's uncle are all his closest people, and he doesn't want them to quarrel.

When Luo Junyao returned home, he immediately went to find Luo Jinyan, but it was a pity that Luo Jinyan was not in the mansion when he was away on business, so Luo Junyao had to return to Nuanxinyuan listlessly.

Sitting bored in the garden, Luo Junyao took the ancient book full of codes and began to seriously think about his future.

Both the elder brother and the parents obviously regard her marriage as a very important matter.

Of course, it doesn't mean that she thinks her marriage is not important, it's just that she has never had the awareness that she has to get married.That's why I said half-jokingly and half-seriously to my elder brother before, "Brother, are you really unwilling to support me for the rest of your life?".

But obviously, getting married is not only very important to women in this era, but also necessary.

But if she is asked to find someone to marry casually, it is really hard for her to accept.Could it be... really have to take a closer look, is there anyone who is more pleasing to the eye?

Luo Junyao leaned against the big tree behind him, as if... that was the only way to go.

"Girl, what are you thinking about?" Lan Yin asked with concern as she watched her frowning and shaking her head for a while, with an unpredictable expression.

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "I'm trying to see who is pleasing to the eye."

Lan Yin was startled, and looked at her girl puzzled, "Who is pleasing to the eye?"

Luo Jun waved his hands and said, "It's okay, I'm just talking casually, these few days are too boring, and my father won't let me go back to the academy."

Lan Yin laughed and said, "Young lady's shoulder injury is so serious, why go back to the academy? You can't go anywhere until your injury is fully healed."

But my mother took me out too, Luo Junyao thought to himself.

Lan Yin didn't understand what Luo Junyao meant, but the other person did.

Xie Yan didn't know why he came here again, it was still broad daylight.

The Luo Mansion is heavily guarded, if it is discovered, it will be troublesome.

He just came out of the palace, and by the time he realized it, he was already outside Luo's mansion.

Xie Yan couldn't help but spurn himself in his heart, had he ever been so hesitant in his life?
However, looking at the bright smile of the girl in the yard, he couldn't bear to drag her into this mess.

　What's up~ Dear friends, my family members are sick and hospitalized in other places. I have to take care of them. I don't know how long I will be back. I will update them stably in the past few days. If it takes a long time in the future, I will try my best to be stable.
