"Mother concubine!"

"Of course, he and I have missed each other for so many years, and they are no longer the Situ Lingzhi and Xiao Xiaoxiao they were back then." Xiao Xiaoxiao said, "The me now is completely different from that then.

.There is no going back between us."

"Mother and concubine, I don't want you to go back to the past." Zhao Keran said, "I just hope that you can give your father a chance. You both still have each other in your hearts. If this is the case, why don't you think about it carefully?

What about your future? You just get along like friends first, and everything goes as it should!"

"Oh, of course, you are not me, so you don't know how I feel now." Xiao Xiaoxiao shook her head, "Some things just happen when they happen. Although I know what you said makes sense, but in my case

I still can’t think of starting over with him so easily.”

"But, concubine, if you keep escaping like this, there's no way out!" Zhao Keran shook his head helplessly, "Don't blame me, a junior, for talking too much. You came into the palace at this time, probably to avoid the emperor!

"

"I don't know either." Xiao Xiaoxiao shook her head, "But I want to think about it calmly and calmly. I really don't know what to do now."

"I understand." Zhao Keran nodded, "If you want to live in the palace, I will make arrangements for you. However, mother concubine, you know that even if you hide in the palace, you will not be able to live in the palace."

The problem cannot be solved. If my father wants to see you, he can still do so at any time."

"I know what you said." Xiao Xiaoxiao said, "But despite this, I still want to stay in the palace. I don't want to say anything to him now, and I don't want to make any decision. What I need now is

Calm down. If he really comes to the palace, tell him for me! Tell him not to disturb me, I want to be alone to think."

"Okay!" Zhao Keran thought for a while and said, "Concubine, if that's the case, then you can live in Qifeng Palace! Originally, I should live in Qifeng Palace. But now Xu and I

Since we all live in Panlong Hall, you should go and live in Qifeng Hall! Qifeng Hall and Panlong Hall are very close to each other, so if you want to see Hui'er, it will be more convenient."

Xiao Xiaoxiao nodded, "Just decide. It doesn't matter where I live."

After hearing Xiao Xiaoxiao's promise, Zhao Keran turned around and said, "Come here, take Concubine Xiao to Qifeng Palace."

Soon, a palace maid took Xiao Xiaoxiao away.

Looking at Xiao Xiaoxiao's leaving figure, Zhao Keran couldn't help but frown. She didn't know whether it was right or not.

After Situ Xu came back, Zhao Keran told him everything.

At the end, Zhao Keran sighed, "I really don't know what will happen next?"

"Don't worry." Situ Xu said to reassure him, "The two of them are almost a hundred years old together, and they are not children anymore. They know what they are doing. We are just bystanders, and we can't care about that much.

.Let them be!”

"What you said is right." Zhao Keran was helpless about this, "We are not the parties involved in emotional matters, so naturally we have no way of knowing their feelings."

"By the way, Zhao Keren is going to get married soon!" Situ Xu changed the subject, "Well, she must be very dissatisfied with this marriage!"

"That's for sure." Zhao Keran said with a smile, "After receiving the imperial edict, she had already lost her temper in Xia Yuyuan. However, no matter how she made trouble, this matter

The matter is already settled, unless she dies, otherwise, she will definitely get married."

"I think not only Zhao Keren, but also my father-in-law must have been very distressed recently!" Situ Xu joked, "Speaking of which, I am really cruel! I didn't award my father-in-law a reward."

"Pfft——"

Listening to Situ Xu's strange words, Zhao Keran couldn't help but laugh, "Hahaha, I think he must be very angry now. The position of Marquis of Zhenbei was taken away by Feng'er. Now even I am here

Being in the back position has not brought him any benefits, so how can she feel comfortable in her heart!"

"Has he bothered you recently?" Situ Xu asked, "With such a big thing happening, I'm afraid he will come into the palace to bother you."

"Don't worry." Zhao Keran said with a smile, "This is the palace, not a vegetable market. Even if he wants to enter the palace to see me, he still needs many hurdles. Besides, even if he is my biological father

, but he is also a foreign minister! It is very difficult for a foreign minister to ask to see me. Of course, he can ask Mrs. Zhao to come to see me. But now that Mrs. Zhao is worried about Zhao Keren's marriage, she should not have the leisure to enter the palace.

It’s coming.”

"That's good." Situ Xu nodded, "By the way, didn't you say before that you wanted to help Zhao Keping choose a husband?"

"Yes! No matter how you say it, she is my cousin, and I was the one who secretly interfered with her marriage back then." Zhao Keran said, "Besides, you also know my relationship with Keli. Although we

We are just cousins, but we have a very good relationship. So no matter what the reason is, I have to consider Keping's happiness for the rest of her life."

"Then what are you going to do?" Situ Xu asked, "Do you want a list of the unmarried children of powerful people in the capital? If necessary, I can have someone bring it to you."

"No need for the time being." Zhao Keran shook his head and said, "I want to meet Keping first before making a decision. In the past, I felt that although Keping was a little vain, in general, she had a good heart.

.However, it has been so many years and I don’t know what she is like now. So I want to meet her first before making a decision.”

"Okay." Situ Xu nodded, "Then when do you plan to see her?"

"Of course, the sooner the better." Zhao Keran said with a smile, "Keping is not young now, so we can't keep wasting her time like this! So I will summon her to the palace tomorrow. But no matter what

No matter what happens, I will definitely find a good marriage for her, after all, this is what I promised my second uncle back then."

"You don't need to be too anxious about this matter." Situ Xu said, "No matter what, I will help, so you don't need to worry too much. Taking a step back, even if she is like Zhao Keren

Even if she is difficult to deal with, I will find a good marriage for her."

"You think too much." Zhao Keran smiled helplessly, "In the past, Keping was indeed a little vain, but she still had a good heart. Moreover, I believe that the second uncle and the second aunt will not

He will teach another Zhao Keren! You will know just by looking at Keli."

"You decide for yourself what you want to do!"

----Dividing line----

At noon, inside the Panlong Hall——

Zhao Keran was sitting at the top of the table, and below were Zhao Keping and her mother, Mrs. Zhou.

Looking at Zhao Keping, Zhao Keran felt that after so many years, Keping had really changed a lot. Although Keping was not a vicious-hearted woman before, she had the love and vanity of an ordinary girl. But after so many years, Keping

, looking at her now, she looks very peaceful, without the aura of eagerness for quick success and quick success she had before, and her whole person is more peaceful.

However, even though this is the case, Zhao Keran still will not draw conclusions easily.

Zhou is not an ordinary woman. Otherwise, she would not be able to get Zhao Yong's dedicated love in such a society. Today, the Empress brought her and I'm afraid, and she probably knew what was going on.

.The queen had said before that she wanted to choose a son-in-law for Ke Ping. Call them here today, probably for this reason!

When she thought of this, Mrs. Zhou was still very excited. The queen did mention such a thing before, but then too many things happened. She even thought that the queen had forgotten such a thing.

It's happened. Fortunately, it turns out that the Queen has always remembered this matter.

Poor parents in the world, Zhou is a mother, and her biggest wish is that her children can be happy. Therefore, she was very unhappy about the marriage between Lin Xiran and Ke Ping. However, fortunately, the marriage was finalized

It was still canceled. However, she didn't expect that after the engagement was canceled, her husband seemed to be no longer anxious about Keping's marriage. However, she knew her husband, so she could only wait.

But she didn't expect that several years had passed in such a flash, and Keping still hadn't found anyone. She was also anxious. However, what she didn't expect was that the queen would actually choose a son-in-law for Keping. That was a great honor.

She knew very well that her daughter's temperament was too weak, and she was really worried.

But now that the queen is in charge, she feels much more at ease. With the queen as her backer, no matter who Keping marries in the future, she will definitely be able to live a good life.

However, although she was excited in her heart, it didn't show on Zhou's face at all. She pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Empress, I didn't know that you called my mother and daughter into the palace today.

, is there something going on?"

"Second Auntie, you think too much." Zhao Keran said with a smile, "It's rare for me to have nothing to do today. I remembered that I haven't seen my cousin Keping for a long time. I miss you very much, so I summoned you all.

Palace."

Although there was no flaw in Zhou's face, Zhao Keran could still see her excitement in her eyes. She knew very well that her second aunt was a smart person, so she must have known something, even if she had not guessed

Yes, I also guessed part of it.

"Empress, it's really an honor for Keping to say this." Mrs. Zhou's smile was still impeccable, "I would like to thank you for remembering Keping."

Zhao Keran smiled, took a sip of tea, and said, "Second Aunt, are the peonies in the Royal Garden blooming just right? If you have nothing to do, you can go and take a look. There are many rare varieties in them. When they bloom, it is

It’s so colorful and beautiful.”

"I was really moved when I heard the empress say that." Ms. Zhou didn't understand what Zhao Keran said, but she still smiled and replied, "The flowers in the imperial garden must be the most beautiful. If there is a chance, I will

I really want to see it all!"

"If Second Aunt likes it, you can go enjoy the flowers now." Zhao Keran suggested with a smile, "As for cousin Keping, just stay here and talk to me. We are about the same age, and we are also cousins.

Sisters, we will definitely be able to chat."

After hearing what Zhao Keran said, Zhou naturally understood what she meant. She knew that the queen wanted to get rid of her and then talk to Keping, but she really couldn't understand what the queen wanted to do.

After Zhao Keping heard Zhao Keran's words, she reflexively glanced at her mother, with a trace of fear in her eyes.

After seeing her daughter's expression, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but hesitate. She was about to speak, but was interrupted.

"Second Aunt, you can go enjoy the flowers with peace of mind!" Zhao Keran said with a smile, "I will entertain Ke Ping well. Speaking of which, we sisters have never sat down and had a good chat! It just so happened that,

We can talk about ourselves today."

After hearing Zhao Keran's words, Zhou knew that there was no way she could stay. And she also believed that the queen would not do anything to Ke Ping. So she had to stand up and salute.

, said, "Then my wife is disrespectful. I have long heard that the beautiful scenery of the Royal Garden makes people forget to leave. Today, my wife can finally get her wish."

Zhao Keran smiled and nodded, "Second aunt, don't worry, just enjoy the beautiful scenery! I will entertain Ke Ping well."

Soon, the Zhou family left under the leadership of the palace maid. Zhao Keping, who was left behind, was full of worries at this time. In the past, although she and the queen were cousins, they were not the same at all.

Not close. In the past, she just felt that this cousin seemed to be weak, but later she felt that she was wrong. She knew that her cousin was a hundred times smarter than herself. But she never thought that her
