After time travel, the princess became his favorite

Chapter 8 Asking her to get married

The main reason for returning to the county magistrate's office was that after Chu Lingyao left, Xu Qinglan had no reason to stay here again.

Chu Lingyao wanted to bring Eunuch Li to come forward and ask the county magistrate's wife to keep Xu Qinglan and her daughter for a few more days. After the palace rewarded her with a hundred taels of gold, Xu Qinglan would use the money to buy a new residence.

After everything was handled properly, Chu Lingyao boarded the carriage again.

Xu Qinglan held her daughter in her arms and watched Chu Lingyao with gratitude in her eyes.

Chu Ling lifted up the car curtain and looked back with an indifferent expression. Although her face was calm, the feeling in her heart was complicated and bitter.

Why should she bother with this?Obviously, it would save you a lot of trouble to reveal the list yourself.

Chu Lingyuan thought for a while and quickly got the answer.

Maybe she was afraid that Xu Qinglan and her daughter would follow the same path as her mother.

That amount of money is enough for them to spend the rest of their lives.

Chu Lingyao lowered the curtain, the wheels of the carriage rattled the stone surface, and the carriage moved forward slowly.

It took us two and a half days to reach the palace. If we had stopped for repairs along the way, it would have taken even longer.

The whole trip was so hurried that I even slept in the carriage. Except for the eating period, the horses pulling the carriage almost never stopped.

Chu Lingyao was very unhappy about this. The bumps in the night made her seriously sleep deprived, but she smiled naturally and asked Eunuch Li, "Does my father want to see me so much?"

Eunuch Li obviously didn't sleep well either, with two rounds of dark circles under his eyes, "Your Majesty and Her Royal Highness have been apart for decades, and I miss you so much. Before I came, I specifically asked you to bring the princess back as soon as possible, and to return the favor." Princess, please be patient and wait until you get to the palace."

The Queen of Xiliang has three thousand beauties in her palace and has many children at her knees. How can she miss her daughter who is living abroad so much?

Regardless of whether Chu Lingyao's journey back was tiring or difficult, he just ordered him to hurry up. Which father would use the tiredness of his children to explain his longing?

That's it.

She had almost guessed the reason why Princess Chu Lingyao returned from the deep palace.

Chu Lingyao got off the carriage and looked up.

The palace walls on both sides are towering, and the glazed tiles are covered with a layer of snow, which shines brightly and cleanly under the noon light. Without this layer of white on the corridor, the palace people would have been swept away by people who were afraid of slippers in the snow.

Chu Lingyao was led into an unknown palace, and the plaque probably didn't have time to be erected.

Eunuch Li waved his hand to summon several palace maids, and told them to serve Chu Lingyao well. He turned to Chu Lingyao and smiled respectfully, "Princess, have a good rest tonight. You will be the protagonist in the canonization ceremony tomorrow morning."

The morning sun sets in the mountains, and the bright moon takes over.

During this period, no one came to the palace, and the so-called longing was self-evident. Everyone in the palace was busy, and they stopped talking about Chu Lingyao's arrival.

The palace maid gave Chu Lingyao a bath first, and then brought her dinner.

After Chu Lingyao finished eating, she wanted to lie down and take a rest. The palace maid brought another set of clothes and jewelry and was busy putting them on Chu Lingyao.

This will be worn during the canonization ceremony tomorrow.

After Chu Lingyao put it on, there were many discrepancies on Chu Lingyao's body. The wide sleeves were a little too short, the waist was a few inches narrow, and the hem of the skirt was too long and dragged the floor.

She raised her eyebrows. It seemed that not only was she in a hurry to get back, but the clothes didn't come out in time to wait for her to come back and measure them.

Seeing this, the two palace maids looked at each other, their brows furrowed, and they murmured, "It's too late to send it back to change it now."

People who come to work also listen to the orders from their superiors. Chu Lingyao doesn't want to be embarrassed. Anyway, she only wears these clothes once.

She retracted her hands and tucked in her long sleeves, which looked just right. The skirt was too long and she could just put something in her shoes. As for her waist, it looked thicker than it was.

Chu Lingyuan said considerately: "That's fine, no need to change."

After trying on the rest of the jewelry, Chu Lingyao put on her clothes and went to sleep. She knew she was tired. How could she, a person who had been beaten, relax?

Early the next morning, Chu Lingyao was pulled up and dressed in gold and silver. Then a wave of people came to the palace. Eunuch Li stood in the middle with the imperial edict in his hand.Chu Ling was still sleepy and listened in confusion. She only heard that she was named Princess Anle and thanked the emperor for her kindness.

The whole canonization ceremony was very fast. After the canonization ceremony, Chu Lingyao's sleepiness disappeared.

As if going through a formality, the group of people came in a hurry, seemingly solemn but in fact perfunctory, and after finishing their business, they left with their heads lowered.

Chu Lingyao took off her heavy clothes and put on an ordinary skirt.

After finishing breakfast, near noon, the King of Xiliang came.

It was probably too late to leave the court, so he rushed to Chu Lingyao's place before he even had time to change into his regular clothes.

The King of Xiliang is in his middle age, and the passage of time can be seen on his face, and his grace has not diminished, which seems to have added an extra touch to his beautiful appearance.

The King of Xiliang happened to bump into him when he came. Chu Ling leaned against the window and looked at the snow-capped branches in the courtyard. For a moment, her thoughts were pulled into the wave of memories.

When he was a prince, he climbed over the wall during the heavy snowfall season just to see the person he loved most.

His sweetheart would also peek out of the window, wondering when he would come.

The King of Xiliang entered the room without Chu Lingyao's bow.

The first thing he said was, "You and your mother look really alike."

Chu Lingyao smiled, but her eyes were cold, "My mother is beautiful, and I am lucky to have inherited some of her resemblance. Otherwise, my father would never be able to find me again."

King Xiliang's expression dimmed, and his eyes were unpredictable, "Beautiful things attract people, and I am not the only one who has missed your mother."

Chu Lingyao heard the implication of his words and clenched the fists in her sleeves, "The man's intention depends on whether the woman has feelings. The person in my mother's heart is her father from beginning to end. Even the person she was thinking about before she died is her father." .”

The King of Xiliang's expression remained calm, and his heart did not waver at all. Instead, he skipped the topic and said, "I asked you to come back and give you the status of a princess because I have something to do for you."

He said it calmly and without beating around the bush, which was normal. After all, Chu Lingyao, to him, had no power, no power, and no one to rely on. He was just a useful tool.

Chu Lingyao poured tea for the King of Xiliang, with a smile on her lips, "Father, you want me to go and get married, right?"

Before the King of Xiliang opened his mouth, she revealed her intention. His hand that picked up the cup froze, "How did you know about it? Did someone tell you?"

Chu Lingyao shook his head in denial and explained: "I didn't hear about the war between Xiliang and Beiliao, but I saw the notice of finding me, hurried back to the palace, and the canonization ceremony that followed. All kinds of deeds told me that it was necessary to Go and get married.”

For the King of Xiliang to be able to sit in this position, he must have experienced a lot of bloodshed, and his hands are stained with countless bright reds.

The aura that seeped into her bones not only did not frighten Chu Lingyao, but she was able to speak out the matter of getting married without fear in the face of danger.

The King of Xiliang couldn't help but smile, thinking that if this child could be raised under his knees from birth, he would definitely have great achievements in the future.

"You are quite smart. There is a dispute between the two countries. It is your honor to quell the war alone and bring peace to the people."

The people are happy and happy.

It turns out that this is how she got her title.

"Princess in the palace, is there no one with hairpins? My father-in-law wants to go to great lengths to find me back."

The King of Xiliang took a sip of tea and said, "Yes, I have my eldest daughter Yuqing, but Yuqing has an arrogant temper and is not suitable for marriage."

Is it inappropriate or unwilling?

How did he know that Chu Lingyao would be suitable?

Chu Lingyao had no father-daughter love for the King of Xiliang, so she couldn't be angry about it. There was only one thing she wanted to know.

"May I ask my father, can my mother's family's crimes really be overturned and cleared?"
