C34 Courtship

It was a bit heavy, like a warning. She turned a deaf ear to it.

The old emperor once again turned his gaze to Lin Xuecha.

His temples had turned white, but his eyes were extremely sharp and were dyed in light.

After a moment of silence, his gaze swept across Su Nanxing. With a cold expression, he suddenly laughed heartily.

"Lao Jiu, you unfilial son fought against me for many years, how can I blame you? But you are such a nice kid, I want to reward you, what do you want? I can satisfy all of your needs. "

Since ancient times, accompanying a monarch was like accompanying a tiger.

The Emperor's reward usually only resulted in two results.

Firstly, it was a true reward. If you could obtain it, it would ensure the success of your family.

The second reward is a probing reward. If you take it, your family won't be able to live.

A glimmer flashed past his black eyes, Su Nanxing remained silent and waited for Lin Xuecha's reply.

Lin Xuecha's expression did not change. It was difficult to predict the Emperor's thoughts, she did not do anything good, and she would not take things that she shouldn't be greedy for.

Even if she really wanted something, the old emperor wouldn't give it to her …

Her voice was still as light and gentle as ever, without much fluctuation. The old emperor's ears held a sense of honor and disgrace.

"Master has taught Snow Tea, she cannot accept anything without merit. Snow Tea has only picked up books recently and received the teachings of an ancient saint, but …"

"In the end, it's not too late. It's really quite unsettling to receive the emperor's gift without reason. Your majesty, please retract your order."

"There's no reason for me to …" Reward you? "

The old emperor suddenly narrowed his old eyes. He suppressed his tone to an extremely low level, and that kind of power that belonged to a person with a high position instantly engulfed Lin Xuecha.

"Didn't I say that I would only reward you because I admired you? Are you looking down on my reward by rejecting it like this?"

When these words came out, the atmosphere within the Imperial Study was instantly repressed.

Just three feet away from freezing …

Who would dare to look down on something given to them by a hegemon of the world? Did they really not want their heads anymore?

The old emperor purposely misinterpreted her words. What she needed to do now was to kneel down on the ground, revealing a humble posture.

She knew that even if she did not say anything, the old Emperor would not make things difficult for her.

This was a common mental battle between people who were in a higher position. It could also be called 'Descending the Wind'.

It wasn't that she was willing to bend and bend the knee, but that she didn't even have the qualifications to fight the Eastern Palace Crown Prince in her current state …

What's more …

Right now, what was making things difficult for her was still … The Son of Heaven.

Lin Xuecha wanted to kneel down and kowtow to her, but the man beside her held her arms tightly, with a lot of strength.

If she forced herself to kneel, her clothes would definitely not be in order.

Uncertain... He would also be accused of offending the old emperor, so his reputation would definitely be ruined …

However, if she did not kneel, then the words he had said to accuse her would be true … It made sense.

After considering it again and again, Lin Xuecha pursed her lips and was about to kneel down.

clinker...

Just as she was about to move, her waist suddenly tightened.

Someone's strong and sturdy arms wrapped around her waist, unquestionably pulling her into their embrace.

The two of them were originally standing shoulder to shoulder, but due to Su Nanxing's sudden action, Lin Xuecha wasn't prepared in the slightest.

When she finally reacted, her body had already moved according to the man's strength, sticking close to his body.

The faint scent of ink bamboo assaulted his nostrils, and the color of Lin Xuecha's eyes changed slightly.

Instinctively, she raised her hand to block him. She wanted to increase the distance between the two of them, but the man … With a heavier force, he completely pressed her body against his, not allowing her to struggle free even a little.

Her eyes were filled with astonishment. How could the old emperor not be shocked as well?

Men and women in line of sight … The two of them stuck together, a harmonious scene of a tight embrace. The girl's back was facing him, so he couldn't see her current expression …

But...

He was able to see the man's expression clearly.

The old emperor's eyebrows were raised high. The man's eyes were deep, but his voice was faint, yet was mixed with a hint of chilliness.

"Whatever Royal Father wants to give her, she will reward her. To scare off Su Nanxing's disciple like this, she must be thinking... Give Su Nanxing a lesson? "

Hearing that, Lin Xuecha's eyes flashed, as she lowered her eyes in deep thought.

There had never been a rumor that the old Emperor and Ninth Prince Su Nanxing were at odds.

However, with such a tense situation, she had no choice but to ponder deeply. Just what had happened between them?

It had been six years since the Ninth Prince Su Nanxing returned to the Capital City, but before he left the capital, he was obviously favored and doted upon by the old emperor …

However, the old Emperor had also said that he would only be allowed to return once he reached the Year of the Crown.

There was still a year's time left. What was the reason for his sudden return?

Not only did the old emperor not punish him, he even allowed him to be so arrogant. What was the reason for that?!

The old emperor's gaze was deep, and on his aged face, there was an additional faintly discernible sense of worry.

Obviously, Su Nanxing's words moved him in some way.

He sighed and said, "How could I ever make things difficult for you? It's just that I've seen this girl give birth, so I'm extremely similar to her mother.

With that kind of kind heart, I couldn't help but want to give her something …

"If you have truly frightened this girl, I will just not say it, just don't say it."

A cold smile suddenly emerged from the corner of his lips as Su Nanxing's eyes turned deep and serene.

The young woman on his body restlessly wanted to push him away, but the smile on his face grew even colder.

Without batting an eyelid, he looked at the person in front of him who seemed to be deep in thought, and said slowly:

"Royal Father announced that she is here, so you can ask whatever you want. If you cannot finish her work today, Su Nanxing will have to keep her in the residence for the night."

"Lao Jiu."

The old emperor's face darkened slightly.

He looked at Su Nanxing's black bright and deep eyes, then slightly changed his expression.

The little girl hasn't come back in ten years. Take her to see it, and have her beg for marriage.

She is about to turn into a teenager, yet I broke her engagement. This is something that this Marquis Anping still doesn't know, you … You should know what to do. "

How to do this...

How could he not know what to do?

Asking her to beg for a marriage?

With him around, his little fool still needed to ask for a marriage alliance and ask from whom … To whom?
