Chapter 35
Hearing what the queen said, of course Xie Cijiu is not good to sit still, she stood up and turned around to salute the queen: "My daughter has seen the empress."

The queen's eyes trembled sharply, and the pupils suddenly dilated.

Like, so much like!She was literally carved out of the same mold as her mother!
The moment she saw her, she almost blurted out "Princess Anbei".

Fortunately, he reacted in time, so he didn't lose his composure in front of Concubine Xian.

She quickly lowered her eyes, and as soon as she grabbed Xie Cijiu's hand, it hurt her a little.

"Yongning... I have finally met a real person. You and your mother really look alike."

She couldn't hide her excitement in her tone, and she was still a little choked up when she heard it.

Xie Cijiu looked up at her, "My mother's day is sad."

Yan Zhi looked back and found it quite funny, obviously the saddest person present should be Cijiu, but it turned out that this group of people seemed to be much sadder than her.

I don't know if it's true or just a play.

"Good boy, sit down quickly." The queen pulled her to sit down, still holding her hand, and sized her up carefully.

Xie Cijiu pursed his lips uncomfortably, she was a little overwhelmed by the Queen's enthusiasm.

Seeing the empress like this, the emperor coughed lightly: "Cijiu has a quiet temperament and doesn't like excitement. The empress should not scare her."

The queen put a handkerchief on her lips and laughed when she heard the words: "It's too late for my concubine to like her, how can I scare her?"

The emperor nodded in satisfaction.

Concubine Xian bowed to the queen: "My sister has seen my sister."

"Sister Xianfei, sit down, there is no need to be formal."

She turned her head to look at Xie Cijiu again, thought for a while and pulled a golden step out of her hair and stuck it on Xie Cijiu's head.

Xie Cijiu was about to refuse, the queen pressed her shoulders and said: "It's the first time we met, I didn't prepare anything good, just shaking like this is still precious, so don't dislike Xiejiu."

Xie Cijiu had no choice but to respond: "I don't dislike it."

"Have you worked hard all this way? I have already told the emperor to let you rest in Liuyun Temple before coming back. The emperor is impatient, and he has to see someone as soon as possible to be at ease."

The queen said earnestly: "The palace and the emperor are very worried that you will be wronged by a daughter's family in the north, so they want to bring you to the capital."

Xie Cijiu's spirit was shaken, and he finally got to the key point.

"Your Majesty and the Emperor's kindness is appreciated, but I'm afraid I'm not used to it because I'm not familiar with the capital." Xie Cijiu tentatively said.

The emperor disapproved and said: "I'll get used to it after staying for a while longer. Besides, with the empress and I here, who would dare to bully you? If I remember correctly, you should be sixteen this year, right?"

Xie Cijiu nodded: "It's sixteen."

"An ordinary family's daughter is already married at this age. Now you have neither parents nor elder brother in your family. The palace and the emperor can only worry about marriage matters. It won't be too late to return to the north when you get married," the queen said. Very sincere, as if really thinking about her.

Yan Zhi replied:?marriage?So it really is to trick people to get married in Kyoto?
He quietly observed the expressions of the queen and the emperor.

With such a tacit understanding, the candidate should have been decided long ago, right?

Xie Cijiu also thought so, she pretended to be quite moved and said: "My lady is very kind, and my daughter is very grateful, but now my daughter is still in the filial piety period and cannot get married. I am afraid that I will let my mother down."

The queen took her hand and patted the back of her hand: "I naturally understand that I can't get married now, but we can get along first."

Xie Cijiu's heart sank slightly, but he put on a curious look on his face, "Your Majesty, what do you mean—"
