The imperial palace of Qi.
Because Zhao an, the prince of Zhao state, is coming today, Mu Qingling can't go to the restaurant to join in the fun.
Mu Qingling got up early in the morning in a very bad mood, got up with a straight face and sat in front of the bronze mirror.
The maid in waiting carefully stood behind her for fear of provoking the indulgent little princess.
A few hours later, accompanied by several palace maids, she went to the Queen's palace in her heavy palace clothes.
”Qingling, what do you look like? Don't keep a straight face. In a moment, the prince of Zhao will come. You will remember to give a smile, you know?”
When the queen came out, she saw her daughter's sad face and thought to herself: yesterday was not well said, but today I'm not happy.
Mu Qingling also has a lot to suffer from. Originally, she thought it was no big deal to meet a new friend. She had not seen the restaurant open before, but it was opened by her two sisters, and the meaning was different.
Now that everyone is busy outside the palace, she feels a little uncomfortable.
Mu Xiangsi's restaurant business should be kept secret. She had to lie and say, ”I don't like wearing these things, so I'm in a bad mood. You don't have to worry about me. I'll be fine in a moment.”
She reluctantly tugged at the corners of her mouth, hoping that the prince of Zhao would not let her down too much, otherwise she would really regret that she had not escaped from the palace.
The queen nodded, raised her hand and patted Mu Qingling on the shoulder, then turned and walked out of the room.
”Empress, the prince of Zhao has arrived. The emperor asked you to come over.”
The eunuch came up to her and said.
”Let's go.”
She nodded. As long as Zhao an's appearance is good and her character is good, she would recognize her son-in-law. If it's not good, she would never hurt her daughter.
……
This time, Zhao an came here just for the sake of marriage, which is also a private matter. Therefore, he didn't need to stir up an army to meet the emperor of Qi in the main hall. Instead, he just stayed in the side hall to talk first. If the marriage is settled, it's not too late to make the red tape.
As soon as they met, the emperor of Qi had a good impression on him.
”The emperor of Qi.”
The last time the emperor of Qi met Zhao an, he was a child. Now he is a seven foot man. He is handsome, with the gentle temperament of a scholar. There is a kind of heroism between his eyebrows. His appearance is really pleasing to the eye.
”Prince Zhao, please sit down.”
The Qi emperor pointed to the seat beside him and ordered the slave to serve tea.
”Zhao an came here today to marry Princess Qingling.”
Zhao an was always straightforward in his words and deeds. The emperor of Zhao was very satisfied with him.
”Why do you want to marry?”
The emperor of Qi also likes people who have something to say and thinks of Qingling -
he thinks that such a person is the most suitable for his daughter, so don't try to guess what he thinks. Moreover, Qingling is very simple and sometimes can't hear the meaning of the words. If you meet someone like Zhao an, you don't have to worry about the meaning.
”Zhao an knows that he has many shortcomings, but as the prince of Zhao, he can marry her now. In the future, I will become emperor. The princess is the queen of the palace. We are married. I will take good care of the princess.”
Zhao an said slowly that although he had never met Mu Qingling, as the future emperor, he would abide by his promise.
”Here comes the queen!” The eunuch announced.
The Queen walked in slowly. When she saw Zhao an, she was obviously surprised. She was more handsome than she thought, and her temperament was more calm.
”Queen.”
Zhao an got up and nodded his head slightly to show his respect.
”Prince Zhao is so polite.”
The queen went to the emperor and sat down. She looked at him carefully again and nodded with satisfaction.
”I don't know if Prince Zhao has ever been married?”
