Wu Xue welcomed into the house and was pulled by Hongwen to sit down next to the brazier. He also poured tea for her to drink.
"It's not convenient to talk to the Queen just now. I haven't asked the girl her name yet." Hongwen also accompanied her and sat down by the brazier.

"Xue Ying" Wu Xueying replied shyly

"Well, it's a really good name, and it fits the scene," Hongwen said.

"I was born when the first snow fell in early winter." Wu Xueying didn't even have the courage to raise her head at this moment, and her usual heroine demeanor was gone.
"Is your birthday coming soon?"

"The snow fell a little earlier this year. My birthday is next month," Wu Xue answered.
"It would be great if you could celebrate your birthday in the Prince's Mansion. I will ask my mother to organize a good one for you, but it's a pity that the name is not justified now," Hongwen said

For a girl, even if she is not vain, a birthday party for a wealthy family is still very exciting, especially if it is prepared for her by the man she likes. She wants to spend a birthday party with the prince as a princess. different birthday
"Is there something wrong with you coming all the way to see me?" Hongwen's question broke Wu Xueying's mind.

"Her Royal Highness the Queen asked me to pick up a painting, saying that it was painted for her by Her Royal Highness the Prince," Wu Xueying said.
"Oh, do you still want to see it, Queen Mother?" Hongwen smiled and said, "You sit here, I'll get it."

After a while, Hongwen took out a scroll from the study room. Wu Xueying reached out to take it, but Hongwen didn't give it to her. Instead, he asked the boy waiting outside the door to send the painting over.
"It's such a cold day, and the road has just fallen snowy and slippery. How can you walk with such a big thing? Just ask the boys to take it over. I'll accompany you there when we have lunch later." Hongwen said

Seeing that the young boy was running away with his paintings and smoking, Wu Xueying could justifiably stay.

"Come here, let me take a good look at you. I will also draw a picture for you on your birthday next month." Hongwen pulled Wu Xueying to stand up from the brazier and led her to his study.
The agarwood that had just been burned in Hongwen's study room was emitting a quiet and quiet fragrance. Hongwen's study room was decorated very elegantly by the poor children. Wu Xueying looked around and saw a pair of purple gold swords hanging on the wall, with dragons and phoenixes carved on the scabbards. pattern, and inlaid with many magnificent gems

Hongwen saw her staring at the pair of swords in a daze, so he took the swords off the wall and said, "This is my grandfather's sword. The dragon and phoenix are a pair and have never been separated. Today I will give one of them to you." Can I give it to you?"

Wu Xueying didn't expect that Hongwen would give her such a precious thing, so she looked at him in disbelief.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I was too abrupt. I didn't even ask the girl what she meant, so I just made my own judgment. I was rude," Hongwen said.

"No, that's not what I meant." Wu Xueying blushed again, "I didn't expect that the prince would like me."

"The woman my mother likes must be the best. Why should I not like her?" Hongwen asked

"Yes, is it because the queen likes me that the prince likes me?" Wu Xueying's face suddenly became a little ugly.

"You are so gentle and lovely, anyone will like you. Not only my mother and I like you, but my father will also like you." Hongwen smiled and said, "Do you want this sword or not? If not, I will hang it back." "

"I want it." Wu Xueying quickly grabbed the sword and held it in her arms. "Don't regret it." [-]

At night, the two young ladies of the Wu family entered the house just one step ahead of General Wu. When Mrs. Wu saw the purple gold sword in her daughter's hand, she knew that the matter was done, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Her own daughter, she She knows best that if she really doesn't like him, let alone the prince, she will definitely reject him even if he is the emperor.
"It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince is a very talented person." Mrs. Wu took the sword in her daughter's hand and looked at it carefully. "This is really a good thing."

"Mom, what are you talking about? Why did the prince give his sister a sword?" Wu Yuqian asked
"You silly girl, if you only know how to fool around with that Zhang Yuhua in one day, you will become stupid. I wonder how you will get married in the future." Wu Fu said with a smile and nodded the second lady's forehead.

"Okay, why are you scolding me again? Mom said I'm greedy. It's a blessing to be able to eat. Why is it my problem now?" Wu Yuqian suddenly pouted, "Mother is partial and only loves my sister. Don’t hurt me”

While the three mothers were talking, General Wu came in and saw the sword in Mrs. Wu's hand.

"Where did this sword come from?" General Wu asked
"This is a gift from His Royal Highness to our daughter, a token of love," Mrs. Wu said proudly.
"Who told you to take it?" General Wu raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"Why can't I accept it?" Wu Xueying asked
"You can marry anyone, but you can't marry the prince," General Wu said angrily.
"I won't marry anyone, I just want to marry the prince." Wu Xueying's temper is exactly the same as her father's

"I said I couldn't marry, so I couldn't marry."

"You old man, my daughter has finally found a sweetheart, and she is so happy. If you dare to say that you are not allowed to marry, I will show you to death." Mrs. Wu stepped forward and kicked General Wu

"I'm a woman, what do you know?" General Wu's tone actually softened a bit.

"What do you know? You live a good life and run to the temple every day. Let me tell you, if you dare to think about those shabby things again and ruin your daughter's future, I will go to the government to sue you at dawn tomorrow. First, lock up you old man, and let me see who dares to stop my daughter from getting married." Mrs. Wu was so angry that she yelled

"Madam, why don't you understand?" General Wu stamped his feet anxiously

"What don't I understand? It's you who don't understand. Everything is more important than losing your family. What's wrong with the current emperor? Look at how life has been in the market over the past year. Are there any reports from various places? The people in disaster are making trouble. If you change your mind and let the immoral old emperor come back, not even me, the poor people in the world will not spare you." Although Mrs. Wu has no knowledge, she is very understanding.

"I know everything you said. I'm just a minister. How can I be so erratic?" General Wu sat back in his chair.
"Okay, you don't have to work around the clock. You can pack your bags and move to Lingjiu Temple now, but don't let us get in trouble," Mrs. Wu said
"Madam, why do you want to kick me out again?" General Wu asked. Before Mrs. Wu could say anything else, he looked up and saw Wu Xueying standing aside wiping tears.
General Wu was fearless, and he was even more brave and invincible on the battlefield. Only this time, he was tricked by the regent before he even went to the battlefield, and he had no choice but to welcome the new dynasty. He was such a man who stood upright, and what he feared most was his family. These three women, his wife was angry and his daughter was crying sadly, which made him even more confused. Just when he was anxious, he saw the housekeeper running and falling all the way in, and the color on his face changed.
"What's wrong with you? What the hell?" General Wu could only vent his anger on the old housekeeper.

"Sir, the emperor and the queen are here with the prince."
