Madam, she is delicate and frail, and she must be pampered by the sinister prince.

Qiu Wan could only find King Yan in the end, and after kneeling down: "Dad, Dad, I am your daughter, you can't ignore me!"

King Yan snorted coldly, "I really can't care less about you. When your mother took you into the house because you were beautiful, she didn't expect you to have so many thoughts!"

He couldn't even afford to offend someone like Xie Chongxiao, yet this ignorant woman dared to offend him.

"Father, please save me!"

"I think you might as well enter the palace as the widow of the Guo family and marry His Majesty as his concubine." Prince Yan's Palace needs such a protection, and Your Majesty also needs the support of Prince Yan's Palace. "From now on, you will be a member of the royal family. Don't give it to the Palace." Make trouble here, otherwise I won’t even be able to protect you!”

"Yes..." Qiu Wan already accepted his fate, "I will remember my father's great kindness..."

That's fine. How could she, a woman, live well in this world without someone to rely on?

If she marries His Majesty, she will become a royal concubine. She is infinitely more noble than Nie Huating. No one will dare to bully her again!

The weather is getting warmer, and Nie Huating's face is getting fatter.

Xie Chongxiao is busy assisting the Ministry of Rites with the exams this spring.

As the great families withered and prospered, it was time for a new group of people to appear in the court.

Nie Huating actually remembered that one of the Jinshi this time was named Sang Yu, who was good-looking and very talented.

Ah Tang specially asked the kitchen to make fish soup, and Nie Huating took it to the palace.

There were many people in the auditorium. Nie Huating walked in quietly. The officials in purple and red robes were all writing and reading, but no one noticed her.

Someone with sharp eyes saw: "Isn't this Mrs. Changpinghou?"

Everyone looked up, and Nie Huating, who was carrying a food box, felt a little embarrassed.

Until Xie Chongxiao walked out from the bookshelf, Nie Huating's eyes lit up.

The scenery is as bright as the moon.

The man asked: "Why are you here?"

"Of course Madam Hou is here to deliver food to Mr. Hou!"

"The Marquis and his wife are really in love."

Several officials joked, and Nie Huating turned half red.

Xie Zhongxiao looked at her gentle look, and his tense face softened a bit.

Someone laughed with Nie Huating and said:

"The Marquis has been here these days, and those of us in the Ministry of Rites are all on tenterhooks."

"I thought the Marquis would be like this at home, but unexpectedly, as soon as Madam came, the Marquis would smile."

Nie Huating responded generously.

"Master Marquis is indeed the best to me." Nie Huating looked at him with a smile: "Master Marquis, are you hungry? I will bring you food."

Xie Zhongxiao said lightly "Yeah".

Nie Huating: "My lords, if you don't mind, let's have a taste of this fish soup together."

Several officials were originally afraid of Xie Chongxiao, who always had a cold face, but seeing that his wife was so gentle and approachable, they stopped making excuses.

Well, it still takes courage to eat with Marquis Changping.

Several grown men don't talk much, and Xie Chongxiao is not a talkative person either.

Only Nie Huating dipped the fresh white fish into the delicious sauce and put it in his bowl, "Master Hou, this is delicious."

"Ah."

The two of them were neither too far nor too close, and their behavior was not overly intimate.

But in the eyes of others, harmony is terrible.

The adults left without taking a few bites. Nie Huating wondered, "Didn't I just say that fish is delicious? Why did they all leave without taking a few bites?"

Then he turned to look at Xie Chongxiao, who was in official uniform: "It's not because the Marquis is too scary and stern, so he scared a few adults away."

Xie Chongxiao's expression changed: "Of course not!" "Why is that?" Nie Huating asked, "Is it because the fish I brought is not delicious?"

"."

Nie Huating's eyes lit up, "Well, since the Marquis likes to eat, then the Marquis will eat them all!"

Xie Chongxiao: "."

Nie Huating brought a lot, and Xie Chongxiao ate them all without leaving any bite.

Nie Huating: "."

She was just talking casually, but she didn't expect him to be so unwilling to admit defeat.

Nie Huating suppressed his laughter and said, "If Mr. Hou is full, then I will go back."

"Walk with me."

"Oh."

It was getting dark early outside, and Nie Huating couldn't help but shudder, and he couldn't help but look at him and said:

"Master Marquis looks so good dressed like this."

"what?"

"This official uniform shows off your waist." Nie Huating said with a smile, "The Marquis has a slender figure, so he looks best in this."

The man's ears felt a little hot, "Shut up!"

Nie Huating took this opportunity and asked: "The Marquis has been busy with the examination these days. Is there anyone in this move that the Marquis likes? I heard that there is a talented man in Yuzhang. Article She has an excellent style, and she looks like a jade tree facing the wind, and she is dashing, so Lord Marquis should pay more attention to her."

"Is it really that good?" Xie Zhongxiao raised his eyebrows, "Why are you the only one who has heard of it?"

"Hey, I heard Ah Tang mention it casually." Nie Huating said casually, "This girl is not young anymore. I want to find a good husband for her, preferably one with good character and talent. I heard that Mr. Sang has a good family background, a simple population, and he is also a good-looking person."

He did not take the imperial examination and did not get involved in officialdom. His reputation has already spread far and wide. How can he become famous in the future?

"Humph," Xie Zhongxiao raised the corners of his lips, "It seems like you are choosing your own husband."

"This is so bad." Nie Huating said with a smile, "Even if Mr. Sang is better than a heavenly being, but I am already a woman, of course it is my own husband."

"It's good to know."

"It turns out," Nie Huating took his arm, "it turns out that the Marquis is also worried that I have been snatched away."

She thought he must not care about such a proud person.

Xie Zhongxiao glanced at her and sighed softly: "You are the only one who doesn't care."

The noble women and officials in the capital all want to keep their husbands firmly in their hands.

She was the only one, calm and collected.

"Of course there is a reason why I don't care." Nie Huating didn't care and muttered in a low voice: "Master Hou likes me so much, why should I worry? Worrying every day is not good for my health, right?"

"Yes." The man smiled helplessly, "Everything you said is right."

"That's good."

"It's getting late, go back early." The carriage stopped on a remote road outside the palace. Xie Chongxiao sent her here and asked her to go back early. "Go to bed early when you get back."

"How long are you going to stay here?"

"It's still half a month."

Nie Huating sighed, "Then the Marquis must take good care of himself." She said softly, "You must eat well. It's cold today. You can't wash yourself with cold water. You must cover yourself with a thick quilt at night."

"."

"Then I'm leaving." She let go of his hand and turned around to get into the carriage.

As soon as Nie Huating sat down, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and the slender figure rushed to her side, carrying a familiar aura. The two of them were so close that Nie Huating's heart skipped a beat: "You, Why did you come up too?"

"Don't you want me?" He stared at her closely. (End of chapter)
