No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 348 Matchmaker? (two more)

As soon as he came out of Cui Ziying's courtyard, his servants came to report that Prince Ancheng's son asked to see the concubine.

Luo Jun shook his feet and paused, thoughtfully, "Xie Xiao? Why is he here to see me now?"

Cui Zheyu appeared on the execution ground yesterday, there is no guarantee that Xie Xiao will not go with him.If Xie Xiao knew Cui Zheyu's identity, did he come to ask the Prince Regent's House to help him matchmaker?
Luo Jun shook his head, feeling that this idea was a bit nonsensical.

After thinking about it, he didn't want to please the future brother-in-law, did he?

"Are you sure he wants to see me?" Luo Junyao asked.

The steward who came to report respectfully said: "Yes, Prince Ancheng said he wants to see the princess."

"Oh, let's meet then." Luo Jun shook his head and said.

Xie Xiao looks a bit embarrassed today, although he still looks like a well-dressed prince, but there are obvious shadows under his eyes, and his eyes are still a little red, obviously he didn't sleep well last night.

Luo Junyao walked to the main seat and sat down, waved the girl away and asked, "What's the matter for the prince to come to see me?"

Xie Xiao was not polite, and said bluntly: "There is indeed something, I want to ask the princess for help."

Luo Junyao smiled and said: "Tell me, let me think about it."

Xie Xiao said: "I want to ask Princess Wang to help me propose marriage."

"What did you say?!" Luo Junyao froze in mid-air with the teacup he had just picked up, and at the same time secretly rejoiced in his heart that he hadn't had time to drink water yet.Is she just thinking about it casually?She was just young, why did she want to be a matchmaker?

Xie Xiao said seriously: "I want to ask the princess to help me propose marriage."

"Why should I help you?" Luo Jun shook his teacup and put on a noble and glamorous look, "Do I look like a matchmaker?"

Xie Xiao said: "You promised to help me earlier, but you didn't do it."

Luo Junyao said straightforwardly: "You said it too, it's a write-off."

Xie Xiao looked at her faintly, his eyes seemed to say: Even if I write it off, won't you feel guilty?

Luo Junyao hummed in his heart, you agreed, why should I feel guilty?

However, Luo Junyao was still a little curious about Xie Xiao's sudden and unconstrained request, "By the way, do you really want to marry Boss Cui?"

Xie Xiao seriously replied: "Of course, if not, why would I come to ask the concubine for help?"

Luo Jun shook his head, "But Boss Cui didn't promise you, did he?"

Xie Xiao was silent, and Luo Jun shook his fingers and said: "Look, it's not that I don't want to help you, but that I really can't help you. Even the girls don't want to marry, so you just invite someone to come to propose marriage. What's the difference with a forced marriage? Besides...does your family agree? I saw Princess Ancheng two days ago. She is not in good health, right? Are you sure that King Ancheng and Princess Ancheng will agree to this marriage? Kill first and play later. .”

Xie Xiao said: "I have already told my father about this matter."

"What did King Ancheng say?" Luo Junyao asked.

Xie Xiao said: "Father said... this matter, we will talk about it later."

Luo Junyao held his chin and looked at him sympathetically, "That means I disagree, why don't you give up?"

"No!" Xie Xiao said firmly, and soon his expression turned bitter again, and he said in a low voice, "I really want to spend my life with her."

Luo Junyao felt more sympathetic to him. When she first met him, she still felt that this man had a bit of a free and unrestrained literati style, but now he looks a bit troubled by love and deeply hated.

But sympathy belongs to sympathy, and you still have to face reality.

Luo Jun said: "Look, since King Ancheng didn't directly break your legs or lock you up, let's treat him as neutral. But you can neither persuade Boss Cui to nod to marry you, nor Dare to tell Princess Ancheng about this, and ask Ancheng Palace to agree to your marriage. If you are like this, even if I want to help you, there is nothing I can do."

Xie Xiao said: "If I can convince my concubine mother, can the concubine persuade Zheyu for me?"

"No." Luo Junyao answered simply and neatly.

Seeing the speechless expression on Xie Xiao's face, Luo Jun shook his hands and said, "I'm not sure why Boss Cui is unwilling to marry you, is it because he is worried about your family, or about your age or status, or, She just doesn't want to marry you?"

At the end of her speech, Xie Xiao's face became more and more gloomy.

Luo Junyao sighed softly, and said: "Well, if you really can't do it, don't force it, where is there no grass in the world?"

"No!" Xie Xiao spit out a word slowly.

Luo Junyao didn't force it, and said: "Well, if Prince Ancheng's residence agrees, and Cui Zheyu also agrees, I will forcefully act as a matchmaker and help you to propose a marriage. Even if it is to repay Zhaoyingjian's favor. Here Don't even think about it before."

Xie Xiao said: "Really?"

Luo Jun shook his head and said: "If you say a word, you will be quick to whip the horse. But I remind you, you'd better take it easy when talking about this to the princess. If something happens to the princess, it will be impossible for you and Cui Zheyu in this life." .”

Xie Xiao nodded solemnly and said, "Of course I understand, thank you, Princess, for reminding me."

Luo Junyao sized him up, a little puzzled and said: "Why do you have to be in such a hurry?"

Xie Xiao was silent for a while, of course he knew what Luo Junyao meant.

It's not that Luo Junyao cursed Princess Ancheng, but that her health is really bad, and the imperial doctor said that she won't live for a year.

He can delay it completely. After the death of Princess Ancheng, if the King of Ancheng still disagrees, he will naturally have no scruples about making trouble with his healthy father.Even if King Ancheng is really difficult to deal with, he can just run away.

Anyway, the king of Ancheng County is still in his prime now, so there is no need for him to be a filial elder in front of him.

Xie Xiao said in a low voice: "My concubine wants to see me get married, and I don't want to lie to her, let alone marry a random woman to fool her."

Luo Jun shook his head, not knowing what else to say.

In the end, Luo Junyao had no choice but to say: "I'll see Boss Cui later, and I'll ask for you."

Xie Xiao nodded and said in a deep voice, "Thank you."

Just as the two of them were saying this, the steward outside the door hurried in to report, "Reporting to the princess, Second Master Luo is here..."

Before he finished speaking, Luo Jinxing had already walked in, "Shaking..."

Seeing Xie Xiao who was sitting next to him, Luo Jinxing immediately stopped talking, nodded to Xie Xiao and said, "Prince Ancheng's son."

"Second Master Luo." Xie Xiao also knew that Luo Jinxing might be looking for Luo Junyao on something early in the morning, so he stood up and said, "I'll take my leave first, and what I said earlier... please take care of me, Princess."

Luo Jun shook his head and signaled the steward to send Xie Xiao out.

Seeing them go out, Luo Jinxing asked, "Why did he come to you this early in the morning?"

Luo Jun smiled and said, "Didn't Second Brother also come to see me? Could it be that Big Sister has something to do?"

Luo Jinxing said: "Ming Xiang is fine at home, what can happen?"

"Then second brother shouldn't be in the army at this time? Why come to me when you have time?" Luo Junyao asked curiously.

Luo Jinxing looked around, made sure that there was no one around, and lowered his voice, "I went to look for my elder brother when I was about to go out, and I accidentally heard Luo Yi who was next to my elder brother say that I found someone. Then my elder brother took someone away, I can see that the elder brother's face is very ugly... as if he wants to kill someone."

"Murder?" Luo Junyao frowned, "It's not that serious, is it?" In Luo Junyao's eyes, Luo Jinyan was not a person who acted impulsively and liked to use violence to solve problems.

Luo Jinxing said: "I have been with him since childhood, when he is really angry, when he wants to kill, you can't make a mistake."

"Did something happen in the army? Dad and the others discussed it in the study for a long time yesterday." Luo Junyao asked.

Luo Jinxing shook his head and said: "It doesn't look like that. Dad told me about the military affairs last night. It's not a big problem because something happened in the north. Recently, the Dingguo Army and the Wuwei Army have nothing to do to him. I vaguely heard It doesn’t seem like you’re talking about the military when you go to Xiao’s house. It seems that there is no one with the surname Xiao in the military, right?”

Luo Jun shook his eyes and couldn't help but widen his eyes, "The Xiao family? Are you sure?"

Luo Jinxing nodded, and Luo Junyao asked, "Second Brother, do you know where Eldest Brother is going?"

Luo Jinxing frowned and said, "I only heard Luo Yi say, Chengxi..." He knew Luo Jinyan too well, and felt that Luo Jinyan's expression was wrong before he got close, so naturally he didn't dare to show his head.

Although Luo Jinxing seems a little careless, he always has a flash of inspiration from time to time, and these feelings can often save his life.

"Second brother is worried about elder brother?"

Luo Jinxing sighed and said: "Brother heard what Luo Yi said, and hurriedly took people out. He also ordered not to disturb other people, and I don't know whether I should tell my father. It is said that elder brother has a sense of propriety, and this is where the capital should be." Nothing will happen, but I'm always a little worried. Wait..."

Luo Jinxing suddenly hesitated, raised his head and looked at Luo Junyao.

Luo Junyao asked, "What's wrong?"

Luo Jinxing said: "Last time, the elder brother was imprisoned in the Five Cities Military Division... the guy who beat him, is his surname Xiao?"

Luo Junyao secretly said: You have remembered.

"Yes."

"No, let's go find elder brother." Luo Jinxing said worriedly, frowning, "If elder brother really kills someone, it will be very troublesome." The Xiao family is not a family with no name and no surname. In Shangyong, it would be strange not to check.

"Second brother, don't worry, elder brother has a sense of proportion." Luo Jun shook his head, the marriage between the Xiao family and the Su family has not yet been reconciled, how could elder brother let Xiao Hong die?

"Are you sure?" Luo Jinxing asked suspiciously.

At that time, he saw the expression on his eldest brother, if that person was in front of him, he would really stab him with a sword.

Luo Jun said: "It's definitely fine. If the second brother is really worried, let's go over and have a look together."

Luo Jinxing didn't hesitate, nodded firmly and said: "Let's go quickly, so you can rest assured if you go and have a look."
