Chapter 323

Qin Mu also stopped talking and just looked at Hua Xiaoqiao helplessly.

The carriage went all the way into the palace and then stopped at the small courtyard last time. This time she was a little more at ease than the first time. Seeing Hua Xiaoqiao's calm face, Qin Mu felt relieved.

"Maybe the prince is here today, he is so well-informed, he must have known that we are going to enter the palace today, if he makes things difficult for you at that time, just look at me."

Hua Xiaoqiao nodded and didn't care too much about it. Even if the prince made things difficult, it's no big deal. At worst, she'll take all the tricks. What else can the prince do? It's nothing more than embarrassing her when talking, which she can still bear of.

So I didn't pay much attention to these at all. This time, I was not in the imperial study but in the imperial garden. From a distance, I saw the emperor walking in the garden, followed by the prince and the father-in-law.

Qin Mu took Hua Xiaoqiao to the emperor to salute. The emperor saw Qin Mu and Hua Xiaoqiao enter the palace with a little maid behind her. The little maid was holding a flowerpot in her hand. The emperor looked at the flowerpot. I became interested in the ginseng seedlings in my eyes instantly.

He pointed to the flower pot and said, "Could it be that this is the ginseng I gave you back then?"

Hua Xiaoqiao nodded without denying, "Yes, this is the ginseng sent by the emperor." She was very confident that such a skill might not be possible for another person.

The emperor was overjoyed and laughed and was extremely happy: "I didn't expect that you, a little girl, really have such abilities. I didn't believe it when you said it at the beginning, but now I believe it." He didn't doubt whether Hua Xiaoqiao had fooled him. No one can fool him yet.

And Hua Xiaoqiao's ability to produce the revitalized ginseng now is enough to show that Hua Xiaoqiao has real skills, and such talents must be well cultivated.

Hua Xiaoqiao smiled and said: "This ginseng only needs to be watered regularly. I thought that the processed ginseng could not be planted, but I didn't expect it to be able to rejuvenate. I didn't slap myself in the face when I said that."

She smiled and said that she was also in a good mood. She was not afraid of the emperor's eyes but spoke humbly, but the prince looked at her with strange eyes, as if he wanted to see through her. It's like a needle prick.

Hua Xiaoqiao hated this kind of feeling and felt that the prince was so unreasonable. She frowned slightly and looked at the prince and said, "Could it be that I have flowers on my face and I can't be a prince. Looking at me like this makes the girls feel uneasy."

Everyone present did not expect that Hua Xiaoqiao would suddenly say such rude words. The emperor and Qin Mu both looked at the prince and looked away just when he saw the prince, which made the prince feel uncomfortable.

"Miss Hua must have misunderstood something." He was a little guilty and didn't dare to look directly at Hua Xiaoqiao.

The emperor frowned and looked at the prince, and then said: "You don't have anything to do here, you should step back, I happen to have some questions to ask Miss Hua."

The prince still wanted to stay, but the emperor said that he could not disobey what he said to let him go, he could only hold his fists and retreat.

Hua Xiaoqiao and Qin Mu walked behind the emperor, and the emperor said slowly: "Mu'er, you brought Miss Hua here today because of the last time."

He vaguely felt that Qin Mu still didn't give up on what happened last time, so he took the initiative to ask.

Qin Mu didn't deny it: "Yes, father, my son came here for the last incident, and I hope father can agree."

The emperor sighed and raised his head to look at the sky, then said seriously: "The prince came here just now to talk about this matter, Mu'er, do you know that the prince is pressing this matter very tightly now, maybe you really like Hua Xiaoqiao , but she has no background, no strength, she really can't convince the public, and she is just a girl after all, and she can't convince everyone after all. I believe you both can understand this point. I don't need to say anything else. If you can calm down a little bit, there are many ways to get out of the current situation."

He knew Qin Mu's thoughts, finding someone he didn't like would be better than finding someone he liked, maybe this would be better, but the relationship between Hua Xiaoqiao and Qin Mu was too thought-provoking.

Hua Xiaoqiao looked at the emperor seriously with pleading eyes: "The emperor also asks you to agree to my marriage with King Jin. I know I have nothing but I know how to fight for it. In the future..."

"Do you know that there is no future between you two." The emperor looked at Hua Xiaoqiao sternly and blamed Hua Xiaoqiao for her boldness. Besides, there is no room for Hua Xiaoqiao to speak now, but Hua Xiaoqiao is here to say that he is very sorry. unhappy.

Qin Mu hurried forward and said, "Father, I agree with Xiao Qiao, why are you... I might as well not marry any other woman for the rest of my life, no matter who my father decides to designate as a child, I won't like it."

He is determined and says what he says and is able to take responsibility for what he says.

The emperor looked at Qin Mu in surprise. He probably didn't expect Qin Mu to be so bold and dare to contradict him. He frowned slightly and asked Qin Mu, "Do you know what you're talking about?"

Qin Mu said resolutely: "I know what I'm talking about, and my father also asks you to help the child."

Qin Mu begged that he really wanted the emperor to agree to this marriage.

But Qin Mu seemed to have really overestimated his persuasion ability, even if Hua Xiaoqiao was in front of the emperor, he didn't have the slightest intention to agree.

"This matter is nothing to discuss. Miss Hua, if you really like Qin Mu, then you should think more about Qin Mu. If you think about Qin Mu's future, then don't beg me to marry you here. To him, have you ever thought that the relationship between you and Qin Mu is impossible in the first place?"

Hua Xiaoqiao understood the twists and turns, and said with a wry smile: "What the emperor said is that these common girls can understand, but I just hope that the emperor can promise me that I can be with Qin Mu."

She still insisted on being with Qin Mu. Although she now knew that the hope was slim, she still had to fight for it.

The emperor looked at Qin Mu and asked, "Do you think so too? Haven't you thought that it is really impossible for the two of you to be together? It's not that I want to stop you from being together, but that the identities between the two of you are the same. A chasm that cannot be crossed."

Hua Xiaoqiao has nothing, even if he can abandon all thoughts and agree to Qin Mu and Hua Xiaoqiao being together, but the officials of the previous dynasty are also not good, the most important thing is that those officials are still looking for Qin Mu's fault, if this is agreed then then Those officials will be able to find Qin Mu's fault and add fuel to it.

At that time, even if he wants to protect Qin Mu, it will be difficult.

"Father just doesn't agree to the marriage between me and Xiao Qiao?" Qin Mu has been begging the emperor for the past two days when he entered the palace, but he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

The emperor sighed helplessly as he walked forward, feeling somewhat ashamed of Qin Mu.

"This matter is over, I hope you can seize the opportunity in front of you. I will give you a marriage with Prime Minister Zuo's daughter. You don't have to continue to struggle with this matter. Prime Minister Zuo is a clean and honest official and does things independently. If you With the help of Prime Minister Zuo, it will be smooth sailing in the future, Mu'er, you have to think about many things yourself, don't be confused, do you know?"

The emperor meant a lot, but Qin Mu could only sigh helplessly. He really didn't know what to do. He tried everything he should, but in the end he didn't get the result he wanted. Everything was not satisfactory all the time, and he still felt very uncomfortable. of.

Hua Xiaoqiao looked at Qin Mu and said, "Since the emperor doesn't agree, you don't have to insist. There will always be someone who can stand by your side. I believe I have that strength."

She was not sure if the emperor really disagreed with the acting. Since the emperor could accept the matter between her and Qin Mu, he must be a very enlightened person.

She herself didn't know what to say, but she felt that the things she encountered today had benefited her a lot, and the disparity in status was really an insurmountable gap.

Qin Mu was very disappointed and didn't expect that he still didn't get the result he wanted in the end.

"But father..."

The emperor suddenly became very angry and said angrily: "Don't talk about this matter, I can allow you to mess around, I have no objection if you want to marry Miss Hua in the future, even if you marry Hua Xiaoqiao as the side princess, I won't say anything about you, But at such a critical time now, I don't allow you to mess around, I've made it clear what you should say for yourself, and you should know what to do."

The emperor's attitude was extremely firm, and this was the first time Qin Mu and Hua Xiaoqiao saw such firmness in so many days.

Both of them knew that there was really no room for discussion on this matter, and maybe the emperor was already very upset with the two of them.

She could also hear the emperor's helplessness from the emperor's words, maybe the emperor really wanted to agree to them, but due to various reasons, she could only give up, and she also understood that many things cannot be forced.

Qin Mu left with Hua Xiaoqiao, both of them were very depressed.

I thought it would go smoothly, but now it has become impossible. No matter who encounters such a thing, they will inevitably feel disappointed and uncomfortable.

"Little Qiao, do you think I'm useless?" Qin Mu said with self-blame.

He still thinks it was his own fault that the emperor did not agree to this matter.

Hua Xiaoqiao patted Qin Mu's shoulder to comfort her: "You have tried your best on this matter. In fact, it is a good thing if you think about it. Prime Minister Zuo's daughter must be a well-educated lady. As long as you marry her, you will also get good help. , the most important thing is that Prime Minister Zuo will help you, and those court officials will not laugh at you because of it, but I am different Am I becoming someone else's joke together? My lord has to think about the good in many things, and this is the best ending for me. At least I can do what I want freely, and the prince will not stare at me. I, and I said that I will help you if I want to help you, this sentence will definitely work at any time, and I will not go back on my word and not take it seriously."

She was indeed very happy in her heart. It can be said that it was the best ending for her if the emperor disagreed. Then she would be able to do what she wanted, and she would not be trapped in this Splendid City forever.

He knew that Hua Xiaoqiao wouldn't understand the sadness and disappointment in Qin Mu's heart, so he naturally didn't want to let Hua Xiaoqiao understand.

"Forget it, it's true that this is a good thing for you, and I don't want to worry about it anymore. Now that the matter has reached this point, I just accept the reality as you said. Everything else is not important, so Xiao Qiao you Free now."

He could feel that when Hua Xiaoqiao said she was happy just now, it was from the bottom of her heart. Maybe Hua Xiaoqiao just didn't like being with him, maybe he really cared too much about himself but didn't care about Hua Xiaoqiao's feelings. Anyway, it seems like this now is the best ending.

He took a deep breath and gently tapped the small table with his hands, making a rhythmic sound.

"You're right, at least you're freed in this way. In fact, there's nothing wrong with it. I think too much and end up being mediocre. Xiao Qiao, what do you want to do after today?"

Hua Xiaoqiao shook her head a little aimlessly.

"Let's take a day off for a while and wait until I sort out my thoughts and start working hard to make money. As for your marriage, you don't have to think too much about it. Didn't you say before that you will go to the border once you get engaged? This is actually very good, don't you?" Do you think so?"

She understood that maybe Qin Mu didn't agree with the marriage that the emperor said before because she didn't want to harm the girl. She still had all kinds of strange conjectures in her heart. Although she didn't say it out, she still felt a little sad.

Because she is irrelevant, it’s fine even if she loses her freedom, even if she is targeted and hunted down, it’s okay, after all, her life is worthless, and I can’t think about many things. The disappointment in my heart can’t be suppressed at all, it’s all right now After everything was over, she herself gradually felt relieved, even if she knew that many things had no results, it was nothing.

Qin Mu didn't know why Hua Xiaoqiao suddenly lowered his head with a distressed look on his face. He really felt uncomfortable seeing such an expression. He didn't know why, but it was hard not to care about Hua Xiaoqiao's every move.

"What's on your mind again? Why do I feel that you've been in a low mood recently?" He could feel Hua Xiaoqiao's unhappiness, and he knew that expressions couldn't deceive anyone.

Hua Xiaoqiao smiled wryly: "I'll move out tomorrow, and I can't keep bothering you. If the emperor is really determined to let you marry the prime minister's daughter, I think you will receive the emperor's imperial decree soon, and everything will be done by then." It's a foregone conclusion and nothing will change, the Crown Prince shouldn't do anything to me, after all I'm not important, and his attention will also be attracted by you, then you'll have to leave Fairview City."

It’s been a while since we came back together. She still hasn’t dealt with her affairs, and she’s inevitably a little disappointed. She said that she’d make good money, but there’s still no news. The only good thing is that the shopkeepers introduced by Qin Mu are very good Awesome, very capable of doing things, the person sent out has sent good news, and the outside affairs are handled smoothly, that is to say, she is only waiting for her bank to open, but now it seems that everything is in the foreseeable future for her to see. less than hopeful.
