Your Highness, where to escape

Seeing that her son didn't cooperate, Mrs. Xie lost interest in looking at the portrait.

She ordered the maid to take the portrait to her courtyard, then sighed and whispered:

"In all dynasties, marriage orders were issued after wars. Today, the emperor can't bear to force the people, but I heard from your father that every day in the Jinluan hall, there are ministers advising the emperor to issue marriage orders. Once the marriage order is issued, you will have less time. If a man or a woman who is suitable for marriage does not marry within the prescribed time, the emperor will order a forced marriage. "

During the period of war, the population decreased sharply, so after the peace, the emperor usually issued marriage order to increase the population of the country.

Nowadays, the emperor does not have the heart to force the people to sign the memorial under heavy pressure.

However, the memorial of marriage order, like snow flakes, will fly to the hands of the emperor every day.

I don't know how long the Lord can hold on.

Everyone knows that the marriage order has many disadvantages, but what can be done?

If we do not use this kind of coercive means to increase the population, what will we do in national construction? What about another big war?

When it comes to the marriage order, Xie Ze and Xie Yuan are silent.

Xie Yuan is more determined to marry Qiao Luo.

How lucky men are in the world.

It's better for her to live with Qiao Luo than to get married.

In Xie Ze's mind, Qiao's elegant face flashed.

He was taken aback.

Sure enough, three people become tigers. Rumors spread so much that even he was brainwashed.

Probably because I haven't seen Joe for several days, so I miss him a little.

He looked up at the sky and was upset.

If the emperor issues a marriage order, what should he do?

Who will Qiao Luo marry?

If he can't, he's going to get married.

However, at the thought of Qiao Luo's marriage, his heart was very upset.

What's wrong with him?

Have you been influenced by rumors?

Xie Ze did not dare to think deeply.

He told himself that Joe was old enough to get married. He should bless him.

In the summer, the sun is burning like fire.

Busy finish official business, division Chen plans horse to raise whip to come to Xie Fu.

The porter told him that Miss Shangguan left early in the morning.

Sichen felt something was wrong.

He hasn't seen Shangguanxi for a long time.

Before the war, everyone was busy and it was normal not to see.

But now that the war is over, every time he comes to Xie's house to find her, he is always in the air.

This is not normal.

He felt vaguely that Shangguanxi was hiding from him.

Did she get angry when he stopped her from quitting last year?

Think of to have this possibility, the division Chen in the heart a burst of flustered.

That day, after he stopped her from withdrawing, he wanted to have a good talk with her, but the war on the front line was tense, so he set out to go to the battlefield that day, and there was no time to explain to her.

After he returned to Beijing, he never had a chance to speak to her alone.

He visited again and again, but she was always away.

Before he didn't realize it, he thought it was just a coincidence. Now when he thought about it carefully, she was avoiding him.

The division Chen thinks more and more flustered, inquired to the Xie family the last official Xi's whereabouts, hurried to find her.

Just as sichen comes to her in a hurry, Shangguan Xizheng and her friends are boating on the river.

It's Midsummer and the lotus is in full bloom.

Among the lotus leaves, the green lotus pods stand like pretty girls, swaying gently in the breeze.

Shangguanxi's boat, not big or small, could hold more than ten people.

The boatman is the guard of the citron villa. He is very quiet. He feels embarrassed with his salary. He always feels like a freeloader. So today, he volunteered to paddle for everyone and act as the boatman for the time being.

Although the summer sun is very strong, but the river wind is clear, lotus fragrance is quiet, it is refreshing.

Shangguanxi and others gathered more than a dozen lotus seeds, then nest in the boat to peel lotus seeds to eat.

Xie Yuan sat next to Qiao Luo, stuffing the lotus seeds into her mouth, laughing and saying:

"Joe, I want to marry you."

"Keke --"

"Keke --"

"Keke --"

There was a cough on the boat.

Everyone was surprised by Xie Yuan's words, and almost choked on the lotus seed.

Shangguanxi took his breath and said:

"No, no, absolutely not."

Two girls get married. What's the point?

Why does sister yuan suddenly fall in love with Qiao Luo?

Li Yan didn't say a word, and there was no emotion on his face.

However, his hands hanging on the side of his body had already clenched into a fist, and the veins on the face of the fist were jumping. It can be seen that his patience had already reached the limit.

Unexpectedly, Xi'er would object. Xie Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then asked curiously:

"Why not?"

Can Shangguanxi tell the truth?

Of course not.

She can only make up stories:

"Sister yuan, recently, rumors are flying all over the capital. Haven't you heard of them?"

Xie Yuan asked, "what kind of gossip?"

Shangguanxi coughed lightly and said with embarrassment:

"That's Joe and your brother..."

Before Shangguanxi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xie Yuan

"I've heard all those rumors. They're malicious and slandered. I'll never believe them."

Shangguanxi said: "the rumor is really exaggerated, but it's true that Qiao Luo likes your elder brother."

what? Xie Yuan opens her mouth and looks at Qiao Luo in disbelief.

Shangguanxi also looks at Qiao Luo and asks:

Do you like my big cousin

Joe was stunned, and then she quickly recovered and nodded

"Yes, I always like elder brother Xie, but as a man, I'm doomed to be unable to marry him, so for many years, I can only hide my mind and not let others find out. Who knows, after all, I've been noticed by people who want to make a lot of trouble. Elder brother Xie has been implicated by me. I'm sorry for him. "

Speaking of this, Joe covered his cheek with his hands and buried his head in his knees. His shoulders trembled and seemed to be crying.

Shangguanxi patted her on the shoulder and comforted her in a low voice

"Don't be sad, you've tried to avoid my big cousin these days. You've done a good job. No one will blame you."

Qiao Lang felt sad for a while. Then he released his hand and raised his head. He looked at Xie Yuan with a sad face. There seemed to be a thousand words in his eyes.

She pursed her red lips and explained in a low voice

"Ah yuan, it's not that I don't want to marry you, but, in my case, how can I marry you? Even if you don't think I'm a broken sleeve, I can't use you to get close to your elder brother. In that case, am I still human? "

Xie Yuan was so surprised that she couldn't say a word for a long time.

Joe likes her big brother?

Why doesn't she know?

Three people are saying energetically, completely don't know a tall figure is standing outside the cabin.

After the official business, Xie Ze came in a small boat.

Because he was an acquaintance, when he got on the boat, the escort who was rowing didn't say a word to remind Shangguanxi and others.
