14 The King is in the Fragrant garden (2/2)

An Jin remained kneeling on the ground. She raised her head to look at the Grand Preceptor's entourage with a face full of shock.

Impossible! An Yuanzhi thought to himself as he watched An Jinxiu talk to him. His sister was usually a bit arrogant and haughty, but she was definitely not that scheming.

”What are all of you doing?!” Grand Preceptor An's angry voice echoed throughout the entire incense garden.

”Master.” No matter how mature and dignified née Qin was, she was at a loss of what to do.

Grand Preceptor An's shout frightened her even more. Ah Jinxiu used the handkerchief in her hands to cover her face.

”Daddy, you hit me?!” An Jinge fell to the ground with a look of disbelief on her face.

”Is that what you usually teach her?” Grand Preceptor An didn't pay any attention to An Jinge and directly asked née Qin a question.

”Master, I …” née Qin stammered, not knowing what to say.

Grand Preceptor An pointed at née Qin with an angry glare.

An Jinxiu wasn't interested in the conversation between the couple at all. She raised the handkerchief in her hand a little higher. Covering her face, she quickly swept over the people standing behind the small back door. The leader of the group, An Jinxiu, recognized him. He was dressed in a deep purple robe and had a handsome yet cold face.

In her previous life, An JinGe's marriage was decided by the Emperor himself. So it turned out that on this day, not only the Lady Minister came to the Residence of An, but the Emperor also came to the Residence of An. If it weren't for her, An Jinxiu, and the others, the third lady of the An clan would have been praised to their hearts' content, and would have been personally bestowed by the Emperor to set a marriage with a rich family.

The Emperor didn't enter the garden to leave some face for the Grand Preceptor. However, his gaze never left An Jin's body. Even the current Emperor of the world had heard of An Jin's pretty appearance. Today, when he saw a young girl in the flower season wearing a simple dress, her looks could be said to be peerless, surpassing many of the beauties of the imperial harem. She was delicate, helpless, and helpless, and she protected her compatriots' younger brother.

”It's all your fault!” An Jinge had already stood up by herself and was pointing at An Jinxiu. This shu born must have purposely made her a fool.

”Grand Preceptor!” Shangguan Yong, who had been standing at the very back of the group, could no longer hold it in.

”General,” Shizong, the Emperor called after Shangguan Yong. ”What do you want to do?”

Shangguan Yong's face turned blue. ”Your Majesty, they …”

”Shut up!” The Shizong said softly, ”You rushed in like this, are you going to provoke a beauty?”

”This official …”

”I know that you and the second lady of the An clan will be married soon,” Shizong said. ”How are you going to meet her now?”

A man and woman who were engaged to be married were not allowed to meet before they were married. This was a rule passed down since ancient times. As Shangguan Yong was being spoken, he remembered this rule and froze in place, his hands clenched into fists, but he could not move forward a single step.
