Xie Yangui's eyebrows twitched, and when he stood up, he glanced at the young palace maid. She seemed to just say it casually and had no other meaning.

"Then how could His Majesty grant me a marriage to His Highness Seventh? What did my aunt say about this?" The three families that Emperor Mingde selected before seemed to be from aristocratic families, and each one competed with the other for glory, but on the inside they were

They're all terrible.

The reason why the eldest prince and the third prince wanted to be a matchmaker for her was simply because the East Palace had no owner, and they wanted to use her marriage to help themselves.

Over the years, she has looked arrogant and brainless in the eyes of everyone, so they really think she doesn't understand anything?

"My Majesty is not happy about it. The eldest lady is away on war and doesn't know the situation of His Majesty Seventh Prince. But how can the Imperial Majesty not know? Because of this matter, the Imperial Majesty and His Majesty are in great displeasure! But this matter belongs to the Ministry of War.

The minister came forward and said that the eldest lady had already withdrawn from the engagement three times, so if we choose one of the princes, I don’t know who mentioned the matter between the eldest highness and the third highness to your majesty, so... I decided on the seventh highness."

As he was talking, the screen in front of the bathtub was removed, revealing clothes and jewelry that occupied almost half of the side hall.

Lu He?

When she finally left the side hall, Xie Heng also prepared her favorite meal. The aunt and nephew sat down together. Xie Heng wiped his hands and looked at her with a very satisfied look on his face.

"Your Majesty," the little palace maid who had just been sent to deliver snacks to Emperor Mingde was outside the palace, holding a food box in her hand. Xie Heng agreed. She entered the palace and saluted the two nephews.

Two pots of wine from the Western Regions as tribute, for your concubine and eldest lady to taste."

"I got it, you all should step aside." He agreed lightly, and when the wine was placed on the table, Xie Heng waved his hand and retreated from the palace.

Xie Yangui picked up the jug and poured wine. Thinking of what the young palace maid said, and looking at her aunt's reaction at this time, she guessed that she and Emperor Mingde were still letting off steam.

"Aunt, I'm old now and can handle the marriage, so don't be angry." She said, placing the poured wine in front of Xie Heng.

"How can I not be angry?" Xie Heng frowned slightly, the beauty was full of anger, which was really pleasing to the eye, but the person in front of him was his own aunt, so Xie Yangui hurriedly coaxed her.

"Aunt, being so angry is harmful to your health~" She said as she took Xie Heng's arm, gently rocking her and acting coquettishly like she did when she was a child.

"Today in the morning meeting, I have already petitioned Your Majesty, asking Your Majesty to take back my order. Your Majesty has always loved me, and even if you don't agree with my later ideas, you will definitely consider Zhou Jin and I's affairs as appropriate."

When Xie Yangui said this, Xie Heng was holding the wine glass to her lips with her other hand. When she heard the words "I always love you", she paused for a moment, then drank the wine in one gulp, "You give me

What's your Majesty's idea?"

Xie Yangui let go of her arm, poured wine for her again, and talked about the selection of portraits and the blind date banquet.

She originally thought that her aunt would tell her that she was fooling around, but she didn't expect that Xie Heng turned to look at her with a smile on his face.

"Your method is quite good, but do you want the miniature portraits of the husbands in Kyoto, or do you want to hold a blind date banquet? How about we do it together? I will order people to go outside the palace and bring the portraits of the unmarried husbands.

I have found the portraits for you, and as for the blind date banquet, it will be held the day after tomorrow as you said."

Xie Heng said, raising his hand to call someone, Xie Yangui quickly held her hand, "Aunt! Aunt, Your Majesty hasn't agreed yet! We are not in a hurry about this matter."

"How can you not be anxious? You are already twenty years old this year. When your mother was your age, your second brother was born. Your Majesty, you don't have to worry, your aunt is here."

She patted Xie Yangui gently with her free hand. Xie Heng smiled softly. She picked up the ivory chopsticks and spread the dishes, "Have a taste and see if your aunt's craftsmanship has improved?"

Xie Heng's craftsmanship is beyond praise, and the dishes he cooked were all Xie Yangui's favorite dishes. The wine sent by Emperor Mingde was also good, but two jugs were not enough for both aunt and nephew.

Since Xie Yan has returned, he will not be unprepared. There is also a flower wine brewed by Xie Heng in the palace, which is enough for the aunt and nephew to enjoy themselves.

He drank this wine from morning to evening, and after several more glasses of wine, Xie Heng was already drunk.

She held Xie Yangui's hand and smiled with her gleaming eyes, "My good niece, you are so blinded by this moment! Don't worry, my aunt will take good care of you."

In Xie Yangui's impression, his aunt Xie Heng was always the dazzling beauty. Over the years, she had been fighting in northern Liaoning, and she always left in a hurry when she came back rarely. The aunt and nephew had little time to get together.

It was rare today that the aunt and nephew were together, able to have a good meal and talk about themselves.

When something happened to the Xie family that year, Xie Heng became pregnant. Xie Yan had to worry about the family affairs and couldn't afford to fall ill. The affairs of his brother, sister-in-law, nephew, and niece were all caught up in the serious illness. Xie Heng was so tired that she had a miscarriage and has never been pregnant again.

Over the years, she gave all her efforts and love to Xie Yangui.

"Aunt, I'm older now, and it's me who should protect you from now on." The dusk light shone into the hall through the window lattice, Xie Yangui let Xie Heng gently rub her calloused hands, and responded with a smile.

But Xie Heng shook his head gently and reached out to hold the broken hair at her temples. For a moment, Xie Yangui seemed to see a look on her face that he had never seen before.

But when she took a closer look, all she saw was tenderness towards her.

"Tell my aunt, in these years in northern Liaoning, nothing has moved your heart?" Xie Heng rested his elbow on the table and supported his chin, with a smile on his face.

"Really not." After taking a sip of wine, Xie Yangui smiled helplessly.

"Yes, as long as there is one, your marriage will not be affected like this." Xie Heng nodded, picked up the cup and wanted to drink more, but Xie Yangui stopped him, "Aunt, we have drunk enough today, no more.

It will hurt your body."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Xie Heng smiled and reached out to caress Xie Yangui's cheek, "I was indeed a little tired, so I went to rest."

As she spoke, she stood up slightly unsteadily. Seeing that she was about to fall, Xie Yangui hurriedly reached out and picked her up, but then he frowned.

Too light.

"Oh, you little girl, you can hug your aunt now." Xie Heng raised his hand and touched her head, smiling drunkenly.

Xie Yangui carried her to the inner hall and carefully placed her on the bed. She turned over, found a comfortable position, and waved casually.

After exiting the inner hall, Xie Yan returned and summoned the palace servants who were serving Xie Heng to give him some detailed instructions.

After the instructions were given, she turned her head and glanced in the direction of the inner hall, then left and went to her residence in Qifeng Palace.

The furnishings in the palace are almost the same as her residence in the Xie family's old house. Every item has been carefully selected and arranged. You can tell at a glance that someone cleans it frequently.

She hasn't lived here for a long time.

Xie Yan sat back on the soft couch and sighed quietly in his heart.
