Chapter 3 Oolong
When Li Ying couldn't sleep the first night, Xiao Lian thought it was just an accident, but when he didn't fall asleep on the second, third, and fourth nights, Xiao Lian went crazy.

Did this woman lower his head? !

Seeing his immediate boss with two huge dark circles under his eyes, his subordinates talked a lot.

"What's wrong with the boss? Usually you misremembered the details of the case, and you were scolded bloody, but today you didn't say a word?"

"I'm also surprised. My legs were shaking just now, and I waited for the boss to throw a cup, but he waved me away. Now I'm even more scared..."

"The boss will not let you resign and go home directly?"

"No way..." Another person was about to cry. He would rather be trained than lose his official position.

"Pa——" the door of Xiao Lian's room was pulled open, and a look came over, and the two of them quickly fell silent.

"What are you mumbling about, prepare your horse, the king is going to enter the palace."

"Yes." The two quickly fled out.

Until he rode his horse to the gate of Shenwu, Xiao Lian didn't know why he entered the palace and what he wanted to do.

Until he saw that figure again at Shenwumen, although he only met a few times, but he couldn't forget it no matter what.

A strange sense of joy rose in Xiao Lian's heart. He was about to approach, but saw her leaning against the palace wall, her shoulders twitching.

What's wrong with her, is she... crying?
Xiao Lian wanted to step forward to ask, but stopped.At this time, he shouldn't come forward to disturb.

So Xiao Lian left quietly and asked the father-in-law next to the emperor, only to find out that she was not retained by the emperor.

If it was based on her appearance, it was impossible not to be selected, but she lost her appearance for a while because of the geranium, she must feel uncomfortable.And him?It added fuel to the fire, accusing her of deliberately doing it...

Thinking of how aggressive he was and how humble she was in the past few days, Xiao Lian suddenly felt guilty.If it were him, he would have had a great opportunity to enjoy glory and wealth, but he missed it, and was even suspected and framed, how angry and helpless he would be, let alone a weak woman?

No wonder she cried like that against the palace wall.

But at the same time as guilty, Xiao Lian still had a strange feeling in his heart... It seemed that she hadn't been retained, and he was a little... fortunate?
Thinking of the way she was crying with pear blossoms raining down and heartbroken just now, Xiao Lian suddenly had an earth-shattering thought.

Otherwise, this king will marry her?
yes!Anyway, he has also reached the age of marrying a wife, and it is the first time in his life that he has met someone who can make him sleepless for days and nights, and judging by her appearance, he really wants to stay in this imperial city.

If this king marries her, he can give an explanation to his grandmother, His Majesty, and himself, and let her stay in this capital. If she likes this palace, he can bring her here every day.

In this way, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?
Xiao Lian couldn't help but want to applaud his fantastic idea!This is really God's will.

This idea was like a strong seed that took root in Xiao Lian's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible.Xiao Lian made a decisive decision and went straight to Renshou Palace.

Unexpectedly, the queen mother was not surprised at all when she heard that he asked to marry the daughter of the county magistrate of Songyang.

Now it was Xiao Lian's turn to be puzzled: "Grandmother, why don't you ask your grandson what he thinks?"

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "You have refused to marry a wife for so many years, and now you are relieved, let alone the daughter of a county magistrate, even the daughter of an ordinary family, the Ai family is also what you want."

"That's not just any cat or dog." Xiao Lian curled his lips. In front of the Queen Mother, he would show a childish look that no one else had ever seen from time to time.

The queen mother laughed and scolded: "Ai's own grandson, how can you not know? Ai's family saw it when he was in Tiyuan Hall a few days ago. Although his appearance is different, his eyes can't be separated from her for a moment. !"

"Grandmother was joking." Xiao Lian usually looked like he was about to beat and kill, but when he mentioned this, he became embarrassed.

"You still feel embarrassed, it seems that you are really enlightened."

"Grandmother, stop teasing your grandson."

"Okay, don't worry, this matter is on Ai's family."

"Grandson kowtows to grandma!"

The empress dowager got up: "Don't do this, let's go quickly."

"Where?"

The empress dowager gave him a blank look: "Nonsense, of course we should go to the emperor's place, and your sweetheart will leave the capital later."

Xiao Lian glanced at the time, wishing he could lift the empress dowager's sedan chair himself, the empress dowager was very happy with this anxious look.

As Xiao Lian expected, the emperor really disliked Li's background, and his appearance was far from the portrait due to allergies, how could the emperor be satisfied?
Facing the offensive of the two, he persisted for a while at first, until the Queen Mother used his trump card.

"Emperor, if you don't agree today, you will have nothing to worry about, but what about Aijia? After a few years, Aijia will go to hell, how will you face Lian'er's parents who died early..."

Well, after all these words were said, the emperor had a headache.Looking at the old and the young in front of me, one with tears and snot, and the other unable to kneel, finally gritted his teeth, let go of the dignity of the emperor, and raised the white flag to surrender.

"Okay." The emperor let go, "Since you have made up your mind, don't regret it."

Xiao Lian said without hesitation: "I will cherish it."

"It's just that this person has gone a long way..."

"It's okay, I'll go after you!"

Looking at the back of Xiao Lian running away, the emperor couldn't help shaking his head helplessly, the bigger he got, the more he refused to be disciplined.

When the gust of wind whistled beside Xiao Lian's ears, he felt a rare sense of heartiness.It's been a long time since I have been so free-wheeling. The last time I chased him with all my might was when I was in the frontier a few years ago...

Along the way, he felt as if he had returned to when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, every muscle in his body trembled slightly, thinking of the expression she might show when she saw him chasing all the way, his heart was like a teenager Lang like bang bang beating.

God knows, when he saw her peach blossom eyes widened in surprise and said the phrase "Go back to the palace with me", his heart almost jumped out of his throat!
Until he took her back to Tiyuan Hall, he also felt that all this was like a dream.

*
Of course, Li Ying had no way of knowing what absurd process was behind this absurd decision.

At this moment, she could only suppress all doubts, restrain all emotions, and try her best to squeeze out a decent smile.

"Your Majesty, Prince Loyalty is handsome, talented in civil and martial arts, he is a rare young talent in Beijing, and many girls flock to him.

But as His Majesty has seen, the courtier's daughter is of humble origin, mediocre appearance, and dull aptitude. One of us is a cloud in the sky, and the other is mud on the ground. We are not in the right family. This marriage... I'm afraid it will cause criticism. "

There is nothing wrong with Li Ying's words. Since ancient times, marriages have always been about the right family. If the family background is too different, no matter how deep the relationship is, it is inevitable that they will be criticized by the world. Therefore, there are many cases of unhappily breaking up.

What's more, how many times did Xiao Lian and Li Yingcai meet?

The emperor did not expect that this Li family was not of high background, but his knowledge was not low.If it was any other woman who could be married to the prince, let alone Xiao Lian who is both civil and military, even a good-for-nothing prince waiting to die, should be thankful.

As a result, the emperor gave her a high look.

"What you said is not unreasonable. It's just that you don't need to worry about this matter. I will arrange it myself to make this marriage go smoothly and consummately."

Li Ying was speechless.She is the daughter of a small county magistrate, and he is a high-ranking prince. If he marries her, it will be a blessing for eight lifetimes in the eyes of others. Apart from being inappropriate, how can she have any other excuses to refuse?

Li Ying was at the end of the road, she buried her head low, and quickly thought about how to break the situation.

The emperor's golden mouth has been opened, and the geranium incident has just passed, and it is hard for people to believe that he really wants to enter the palace. If he refuses blindly, he will not only anger the emperor, but also arouse the suspicion of the emperor, Xiao Lian and others , Stand yourself under a dangerous wall.

That would be too bad.

Li Ying's judgment was correct. When she was hesitating, the queen mother's face was already pale. Just when the queen mother was about to ask questions, Xiao Lian looked helplessly at Li Ying, who had just written "I'm not worthy" all over her face, showing a look of shame. With a grateful expression, he bowed to the emperor and queen mother:

"Since that's the case, my daughter-in-law would like to thank Your Majesty for giving me the marriage. Fortunately, my daughter-in-law will cherish this marriage even more."

The queen mother's face suddenly softened, showing her usual kind smile: "One hundred years of cultivation can cross the same boat, and one thousand years of cultivation can sleep together. Get up quickly, we will be a family from now on, and there is no need to see outsiders."

Li Ying bowed his head in response, and stood up respectfully.

"Mr. Li, for the next month, you should stay by the Queen Mother's side to take care of her sickness." The emperor said gently.

"Yes."

It seems that the empress dowager and the emperor have also tried their best for this marriage. Siji, isn't that just giving her a step, and turning a sparrow into a phoenix?

Unfortunately, she disdains.

Li Ying kept her head down so that no one could see the expression on her face, but she could still feel the other person who was staring at her with burning eyes even though he didn't speak.

Staring at her almost made her hair burn.

Li Ying just wanted to roll her eyes. Now that she is a human being under the eaves, she has to bow her head. When she finds a chance, let the sky fly and see what else he can do to her!

 I hope that readers and friends who pass by can leave me a message, say anything, accept both good and bad, as long as it doesn’t make me feel like I’m coding on a stand-alone machine, thank you in advance
