Is my wife farming today?

Chapter 285 It’s hard to choose
An hour later.

Dugu Jin was ordered to take Dugu Xiwei into the palace in a carriage.

When they arrived at the palace gate, they got off the car and changed lines, followed by the chief steward and walked into the Zhengde Hall.

"Master Taifu, you are really lucky. Although I have seen Mr. Ling many times, every time I see him, I always feel a sense of astonishment that he is a heavenly being. I really agree with that sentence. This man can only exist in heaven and not on earth." How many times do we have to see it?”

Dugu Xiwei was not wearing a curtain hat today, so she was being looked at and looked at invisibly all the way into the palace.

Fortunately, he has been used to it for so many years, so when he heard the praise from Ouchi, he didn't feel any waves in his heart. He just unexpectedly felt that it was very consistent with the recent rumors about her in Kyoto.

He nodded slightly and thanked him.

"Ouch, this old slave has been dealing with Master Taifu for decades. Master Dugu, please don't be so polite and ask you to salute our family. Wouldn't that be a disgrace to the old slave?"

Just as he was talking, a yellow figure appeared outside the Zhengde Hall in front of him.

Dugu Xi calmed down slightly, followed Dugu Jin, and walked forward quickly.

"Your Highness, Fourth Prince."

Feng Qingran also just came back from Jincheng. She was so tired that she didn't even have time to change her clothes, so she went straight to the Zhengde Hall to pay his respects to His Majesty.

"Master Taifu, please excuse me. Please get up quickly." Feng Qingran glanced back and couldn't suppress a smile on her lips, "We will be a family soon. You are my prospective mother-in-law. You deserve this. I salute you."

"Fourth Highness, you can't do it! You absolutely can't do it!" Dugu Jin quickly supported her body, "The courtesy of a monarch and his ministers must not be abolished. Your Highness must not offend the old minister."

Seeing her persistence, Feng Qingran couldn't say any more and had no choice but to invite her into the palace.

She spent the past few days on her horse, completely unaware of what was happening in the capital and elsewhere, so when she looked at Dugu Xiwei, she still looked at her as if she was one of her own.

"Your Majesty, the Grand Tutor and Young Master Dugu are already waiting outside the palace." Before he finished speaking, he added, "Your Majesty, the Fourth Highness is also back."

Feng Jiuling raised her eyes, "What? How come she came back so quickly? I thought it would be the day after tomorrow."

"Yes, it must be because the Battle of Jincheng has been completely resolved, His Highness the Fourth Prince must be anxious to come back and report to you."

Report?

What letter to report!

It didn't matter if others didn't know. Didn't she still know how Jincheng was captured?
Feng Jiuling's face darkened, "Okay, let them all come in."

Feng Qingran took the lead and walked into the main hall.

Seeing her subconsciously crossing over him and walking forward, a strange feeling flashed through Dugu Jin's heart.

Although His Highness the Fourth Highness often expresses his respect for himself, his subconscious in subtle details can never deceive others.

Thinking about it, a charming face flashed through Dugujin's mind.

Na Xie also respected her very much. She would always smile at everything she said and never be disrespectful in her words. Even when she learned that she had betrothed Dugu Xi to the Fourth Princess without permission, her attitude was always the same. Change.

It’s better not to compare.

Once there is a comparison between people, they will definitely distinguish between good and bad and high and low.

So, who is better? Who is the bad one?
Dugu Jin was so lost in thought that she didn't even hear Feng Jiuling calling her.

Dugu Xi had seen his mother look so absent-minded, so he immediately stepped forward and touched her elbow to remind her: "Mother, His Majesty is calling you." Dugu Jin came back to his senses and said, "I am here."

"What are you thinking, Aiqing, so absorbed? I just asked you two if you had lunch? It's rare that Qingran is back today, why don't the four of us have a good drink together in the palace." As he said that, Feng Jiu The spirit ordered people to prepare a banquet in the imperial garden.

Feng Qingran naturally couldn't ask for it.

Seeing that the chess game had begun between them, Feng Qingran took the initiative to leave and go back to freshen up.

Before leaving, she called Dugu Xiwei aside, "Xiwei, I brought you a gift. I was about to order someone to deliver it to your house, but you unexpectedly came to the palace. Take a look, I'm happy. dislike."

A shining golden agate ring lies in a reddish-brown wooden box.

"Thank you, Your Highness. It's just that I'm never used to wearing jewelry. It's a bit of a waste to give this to me. Please leave it to the right person."

Feng Qingran was stunned, "Don't you like it?"

His eyes were clear and cold, and his expression was even more bleak, "No."

"If not, then why not accept it? This is my order..." Feng Qingran suddenly paused, "Xiwei, are you rejecting my wishes? Or are you rejecting me?"

In the past, when the concubine Feng Qinglan was around, she was just like her. She always loved to collect some strange things and send them to her.

At that time, Dugu Xiwei was still too shy to refuse outright. Regardless of whether he liked it or not, he would always thank him gracefully, record the gift in a book, and store it in the warehouse, waiting to be returned one day.

But for some reason, when facing Feng Qingran, he now lost some of the patience he had before, and he didn't want to take into account so many etiquette.

The words of rejection just now were blurted out subconsciously.

"Your Highness, you are overthinking it." He replied in a tone that was still neither salty nor cool.

Feng Qingran was exhausted after driving all the way. At this moment, she finally saw the person she had longed for. She was filled with joy and excitement, but she was treated so indifferently by him, and she felt a little sad.

"I hope I'm overthinking it." Feng Qingran looked at him, her eyes showing love unconsciously, "I'll go back to freshen up first, and I'll talk to you later."

"Yes." Dugu Xi gave a slight salute, but kept looking at the chess game not far away where Dugu Jin and Feng Jiuling had not moved for a while.

As soon as Feng Qingran left, Feng Jiuling immediately called him to his side.

"Taifu, I heard that Young Master Ling is also very good at chess. I wonder if I can ask him to take a closer look at it for me. The move you just made can be said to have blocked half of my forward and backward routes. It makes me somewhat unpredictable. Where is the next offensive?”

Dugu Jin smiled and said, "Your Majesty praises him too much."

"Come, Xiwei, would you like to see where I should place my next chess piece?" Feng Jiuling called him forward without refusal.

Dugu Xi observed attentively for a moment, and said in a clear voice: "There is a sword above that has not yet been unsheathed, and there is a general guarding one side below. It all depends on your majesty's choice."

The implication is that since she has seen that both the upper and lower roads are blocked, the best way to solve the dilemma is to cut off one arm to retain the greatest chance of survival.

This idea coincides with Feng Jiuling's countermeasure.

However, Feng Jiuling never expected that he would be able to quickly figure out the idea of ​​​​the game after just a few glances, and even guess what he was thinking.

This Dugu Xiwei really has an exquisite heart with seven orifices as rumored.

Even when she deliberately made things difficult for him, trying to get him to confront his mother, he was able to resolve the situation calmly and calmly.

How could she be willing to give up to Xie Shen for such a person!
