There were lanterns hanging in the yard. It was very bright. You could clearly see the man wearing a blue brocade suit. He looked handsome. At this time, his eyes flashed slightly and he looked up at Leng Ao: "Father-in-law, I am the princess.

's fiancé."

As soon as the words came out, everyone's expressions changed, some were angry, some were happy, some were shocked, and some were indifferent.

"Bold, how could I not know when my Leng Ao's daughter will be engaged to you?" Leng Ao stared with anger on his face.

"Father-in-law, the princess and I have made a private agreement for three lifetimes. I have a love token given to me by the princess." He turned around and looked at Zhaoxue earnestly: "Princess, please explain to your father-in-law quickly.

." His tone was full of anxiety and tenderness.

A flash of doubt flashed in Leng Ao's eyes, and he looked at Zhaoxue: "Zhaoxue, do you know this man?"

Zhaoxue was indifferent, smiled slightly, and shook his head: "Father, Zhaoxue does not know this young master."

"Xue'er, how can you say that? Have you forgotten our agreement? You said that you will be mine for the rest of your life. You said that you will not marry anyone who is not yours. Also, you still have my neck.

The jade pendant hanging on it is a token of our love. Xueer also has one. Has Xueer forgotten it?" The man's tone was particularly anxious, with a hint of doubt and hurt in his eyes.

lifelike.

Mrs. Qin's eyes lit up. She had seen this little hoof often leaving the house some time ago. She didn't expect that she was going to meet her lover. Today, this little hoof stole the show at the Yao Nu Festival. She was just thinking about how to suppress it. It happened that,

The lover then arrived at the door.

His face turned into a worried expression, and he walked to Leng Ao and whispered: "Master, what this young master said seems to be true. Maybe the daughter of the princess is embarrassed to admit it. Why don't we take it?"

Take a look at the jade pendant around this young man’s neck.”

Leng Ao narrowed his eyes and glared at her, but he was sizing it up in his heart, somewhat believing Qin's words.

Qin's eyes flashed, but she was too anxious and forgot about Murong Zhaoxue's special status. The master must have some concerns, but looking at the look on the master, he seemed to believe it.

Nanny Jiang and Xiaowan both wanted to speak, but were stopped by Zhao Xue's look.

There was still a faint smile on the corner of Zhaoxue's mouth, but there was a coldness in her eyes. She remained silent and waited for this person to continue the play. She just didn't know if this person was from the Qin family, or... she, Murong Zhaoxue, wanted to live happily.

Take a look.

"It's all bastard words." Old Master Leng, who was supported by the maid, looked angry and glared at the young man with a deep look: "How can you slander my daughter of the Leng family indiscriminately!"

Old Mrs. Leng also had a serious look on her face, but did not speak. She patted the old man on the back and told him not to get excited. She looked at Leng Ao and told him to handle it properly.

Leng Ao looked at the two guards: "How did you find this man?"

The two guards stood upright, holding the man in green without letting go at all, but they did not answer and looked at Zhao Xue.

Leng Ao was embarrassed for a while, knowing that these guards were sent to Zhaoxue by the emperor, but he did not expect that they would not give him face like this, and his face became red and heavy.

Zhaoxue nodded lightly towards the two guards: "When father asks, you just answer truthfully."

"Back to the princess, Master Leng, we were patrolling outside the courtyard just now, but we saw this man sneaking into the courtyard, so we hurriedly captured him." The taller guard replied, his tone was neither humble nor overbearing.

"Xue'er, it was obviously you who invited me here today, but I still have a note on me. How could you turn your back on me and ask your guards to capture me? Or are you still angry that I won't see you in the future?

The man in green looked at Zhaoxue and said, "Xue'er, I've already explained to you that I was preparing to take part in the imperial examination, and I didn't mean not to come and see you."

"Where is the note you mentioned?" Leng Yue stepped forward, the hat on her head had been taken off, and her face was still red and swollen through the light, looking a little scary.

"Yes, yes, it's in my right sleeve." The man in green nodded quickly and waved his right hand a few times.

"Father, no matter what the young master said is true or false, we still have to take a look at the note and jade pendant he mentioned. Only in this way can we prove the innocence of the princess sister." Leng Yue bent towards Leng Ao, lowered his eyes, and his eyes were filled with emotion.

It's cruel.

Leng Ao's eyes flashed. These two daughters had completely disgraced the Leng family during the day. He already hated seeing them, but he didn't expect that they would stand up and speak now. Now that there were so many servants in the courtyard, he had no choice but to press on.

He followed her words and said: "Come here, take out the note from his sleeve and the jade pendant around his neck."

"Yes, sir." The boy next to him took the order and walked to the man in green who was being suppressed. After searching a few times, he first took out the note from the cuff of his right hand, and then took off the piece of paper from his neck.

Jade pendant, together with Leng Ao.

Leng Ao took the two things, glanced at the jade pendant, and unfolded the note, only to see the note clearly written: "Today we gather at Yuxue Yuan, Zhaoxue."

His eyes suddenly darkened. Although the words on the note were not as good as those written by Zhaoxue on the book competition during the day, they were somewhat similar and should have been written by Zhaoxue himself.

"My father-in-law, what my son-in-law said is true. This note was written by Xue'er himself, and the jade pendant, Xue'er also has exactly the same one. Both of these jade pendants were made by Xue'er personally to the abbot at Lingqing Temple.

I'm here to ask for help, my father-in-law can go to Lingqing Temple and ask for clarification." The man in green straightened his chest with force and raised his eyes to look at Leng Ao, which seemed to be a bit arrogant.

"Sir, why don't you invite the abbot of Qingling Temple to come over?" Mrs. Qin stepped forward and suggested.

Leng Yue looked at the jade pendant in Leng Ao's hand, his eyes flashed, and he wanted to speak, but he gritted his teeth, but did not speak.

Old Master Leng, Old Mrs. Leng, and Leng Ao had different expressions on their faces. They all looked at Qin with deep eyes, but they all said nothing and acquiesced to Qin's proposal.

Mrs. Qin winked at Grandma Guo, and Grandma Guo quietly walked out of the courtyard.

The courtyard suddenly became a little quiet. Everyone knew that if this matter was true, Princess Zhaoxue's reputation would be ruined. No matter how brilliant she was at the Yao Nu Festival, she could not take away the name of 'Yao Nu'.

Qin Kui and Hua Kui turned their eyes slightly and looked at the big tree on the side. They saw that the leaves on the tree were shaking slightly. Their eyes flashed and they looked at each other with a smile on their lips, as if they were looking good.

The look of a play.

Although the Four Great Shang Yi and Xiao Wan were angry, they were not in a hurry. Seeing Zhao Xue's appearance, they were sure to resolve the matter.

Aunt Shen was very anxious, but she could only worry and didn't know what to do.

In the courtyard, the mother and daughter of the Qin family were the most proud. Although there was no expression on their faces, they looked as deep as the others, but they were smiling in their hearts.

Zhaoxue still smiled and looked at Old Man Leng and Mrs. Leng: "Grandpa, grandmother, father, it's cold and we are waiting in the courtyard. Why don't we go sit in the hall."

The three people's eyes flashed. Seeing Zhaoxue so calm, they were very confused. They didn't know if what the man said was true, but they could only wait patiently. They nodded and walked towards the hall together.

.

Zhaoxue turned her eyes and looked at the man in green. The smile on her lips became thicker, but with a touch of irony. When she took out the jade pendant, she knew that this man was sent by the Xiao brothers. Xiao Yunhan, Xiao Yunchen, today

Did my performance disrupt your plans?

"Take him to the hall together." He turned around and was supported by Nanny Jiang and Xiaowan as they walked towards the hall, looking cool and leisurely.

The two guards took the order and followed the man in green.

Qin's mother and daughter narrowed their eyes slightly, looking at Murong Zhaoxue's appearance... The two of them glanced at the back of the man in blue with uncertainty, and finally followed him into the hall.

In the hall, it was much warmer than in the courtyard. The maids served tea to the masters and retreated to one side to watch.

No one spoke, the atmosphere was still very gloomy, and no one spoke.

Lingqing Temple is on the West Mountain, quite far away from Leng Mansion. In addition, it is already dark now, so it will take at least half an hour to go back and forth.

Time passed bit by bit, and nearly half an hour later, many people in the room were already sleepy.

Qin Kui yawned lazily, leaned slightly on the soft chair, and muttered: "The speed is really slow. I don't even know how to find a smart boy to go with him. I sent an old woman instead. Alas... If there is no one in the Leng Mansion, follow

Just ask my disciple, there are many guards in my disciple's courtyard."

The sound was neither loud nor soft, just enough for everyone in the room to hear.

Leng Ao looked at Qin Kui and his eyes flashed slightly. Qin Kui was already beautiful, but also had a fragile and pitiful look. Now he looked even more delicate and beautiful under the light.

Mrs. Qin noticed Leng Ao's expression, frowned, and glanced at Qin Kui bitterly, but she couldn't argue.

Zhaoxue smiled lightly, with a hint of warmth. For some reason, she did not reject the two masters she had just met today. Instead, she felt happy and close to them.

Nearly a quarter of an hour later, there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and Grandma Guo entered the hall with the abbot of Lingqing Temple.

Lingqing Temple is a very famous temple in Tianyue Kingdom. It is popular with incense and has an endless stream of pilgrims. Even the noble concubines in the palace often visit Lingqing Temple.

The abbot of Lingqing Temple, Master Qing'an, is even more famous. She is very accurate in calculating names and fortune telling. She is also famous in Tianyue Kingdom. Even many dignitaries respect Master Qing'an.

"Sir, Master Qing'an is here." Aunt Guo bowed and reported, then stood behind Mrs. Qin.

Master Qing'an is about fifty years old. She is dressed in plain clothes and has not shaved her hair. She only has thousands of hair strands coiled in a plain hat and is integrated with the plain clothes. Her face does not look old, but is a bit peaceful.

His posture is full of wisdom, his posture is upright, and he is holding a handful of dust in his hand.

Leng Ao and others all stood up and greeted each other: "Master Qing'an, I'm very sorry for disturbing your rest at such a late hour."

Master Qing'an smiled without any displeasure: "Even if the donor and others are in trouble, what's the harm in the nun's trip?"

"Master Qing'an, hurry up and take a seat." Old Mrs. Leng stood up and gave up her seat. The old lady believed in Buddhism and was very polite to Master Qing'an.

Master Qing'an smiled slightly and did not refuse. She walked to the old lady's seat and sat down.

"Master Qing'an, I invited you here today to let you see if this jade pendant was given to you as a gift?" Mrs. Qin couldn't wait any longer and pointed to the jade pendant placed on the table by Jing Ao.

Master Qing'an looked where she pointed and asked, "Can I let me have a look?"

"Of course you can." Mrs. Qin replied hurriedly, with a hint of light in her eyes.

Master Qing'an picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. After a moment, she put down the jade pendant and nodded: "This jade pendant was indeed given to me by this old nun."

Everyone was stunned and looked at Zhao Xue, with doubts and disdain in their eyes...but also worry and anxiety...

Zhaoxue's face didn't change at all, she still smiled faintly and said nothing. Her eyes flickered slightly, but she still wanted to watch the show for a while.

"Father-in-law, just believe what my son-in-law said now. This jade pendant was indeed given to my son-in-law by the princess." After saying that, he turned to Zhao Xue: "Xue'er, don't deny it, since my father-in-law already knows it.

, just choose a day to marry me."

There was no shame at all, his words were very kind, and his tone made Xiaowan and others hate him.

Leng Ao had a sullen face, thinking about something, and looked at the old man and the old lady.

A smile secretly appeared at the corner of Qin's lips, but she quickly suppressed it and stood up: "Old Master, Old Madam, Master, now that things have happened, Master Qing'an has also proved that this jade pendant was given to her by Master Qing'an... The county

Since the Lord is interested in this young master, and the princess is about to have a hairpin, it is better to betroth the princess to this young master. If the princess is not betrothed as soon as possible, I am afraid that if this matter spreads out, it will damage the princess' reputation.

There is some damage..." The sentence was all for Zhaoxue's sake.

Leng Ao narrowed his eyes, said nothing, frowned, glanced at the man in green, then looked at Zhao Xue.

The old man's face was dark, he looked at Zhaoxue and spoke first, asking: "Zhaoxue, is this true?" Old man Leng was still a little confused. According to Zhaoxue's temperament, he would definitely not look down on him if he was so arrogant.

Such a manly one.

Zhaoxue smiled calmly and was about to get up to answer.

"Everyone, I think everyone has made a mistake." Master Qing'an suddenly spoke, her face a little solemn.

Everyone was confused and looked at Master Qing'an one after another. Even Zhaoxue had a flash of doubt and looked at Master Qing'an.

Master Qing'an stood up and picked up the jade pendant: "I heard from your words that you have misunderstood. This jade pendant was indeed given from the old nun, and it was indeed given to Master Leng's daughter, but it was

It is not a gift to Princess Zhaoxue, but to Miss Leng San."

Everyone was startled again and some couldn't react. They all looked at Leng Yue who was standing aside.

Leng Yue's face changed, and she was speechless for a moment, looking a little nervous. She did go to Lingqing Temple a month ago, just to ask for the man's marriage, and also asked Master Qing'an for a pair of jade pendants, but she didn't

I didn't expect it to be the same as the jade pendant on this man's body.

Mrs. Qin's eyes flashed and she glanced at Leng Yue. Seeing her demeanor, she must have gone out while she wasn't paying attention. She narrowed her eyes, looked at Master Qing'an, and raised the corner of her mouth: "Qing'an

Master, I must have misremembered, this girl Yue'er has been practicing in the boudoir for the Yao Women's Day competition in the past few months, how come she went to Lingqing Temple?"

Master Qing'an's expression remained unchanged, she shook her head and looked at Mrs. Qin: "The nun did not remember wrongly. The nun clearly remembered that Miss Leng San came to Lingqing Temple a month ago to pray for marriage and came to ask for her help.

I got a pair of jade pendants, and it is this jade pendant." He smiled faintly, and looked at the man in green who was being suppressed: "It turns out that this is Miss Leng San's beloved!" There was a touch of sigh in his tone.

Only then did Leng Yue realize it and hurriedly defended: "No, he is not my sweetheart."

Everyone was a little stunned, looking at this sudden reversal of the situation.

Zhaoxue raised her eyes and glanced at Master Qing'an. She didn't say anything. She sat quietly aside, picked up her teacup, and watched the show.

"No, this jade pendant was clearly given to me by the princess." The man in green also argued.

The smile on the corner of Master Qing'an's lips faded a little, and she looked at Zhaoxue: "Princess Princess did come to Lingqing Temple a few days ago, and she also asked the old nun for a jade pendant."

Following Master Qing'an's words, everyone's eyes turned to Zhaoxue again.

"It's just that... the jade pendant that the old nun gave to Princess Zhaoxue is not the same as this jade pendant. This jade pendant is green, and a pair of jade pendants are engraved with the words "marriage" and "fate". The jade pendant that the old nun gave to Princess Zhaoxue is "blood".

The red ones are said to be a pair, but they are actually one piece. They can be split into two parts, half dragon and half phoenix." Master Qing'an said, with a kind smile on her face again: "Princess Zhaoxue has a very good destiny and has the power of prosperity.

The father is the symbol of a prosperous husband and a prosperous son, and he is a noble person who is rare to meet in a hundred years, so the old nun gave the most precious dragon and phoenix in the temple to the princess."

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Zhao Xue. A trace of doubt flashed through his mind, but it quickly disappeared.

The people in the room were startled again, because the old lady looked at Zhaoxue excitedly and asked as if to confirm: "Is what Master Qing'an said true?"

Master Qing'an's expression changed a little and became more solemn: "A monk does not lie!"

Seeing that Master Qing'an was a little angry, the old lady hurriedly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, Master Qing'an. It's not that the old lady doesn't believe Master Qing'an, it's just that she felt it was too sudden."

Master Qing'an nodded, not surprised at all: "No problem, may I ask the old lady if there is anything else? If nothing, I will leave."

"Wait a minute, Master Qing'an is about to give it to the princess as a dragon and phoenix. Can you please bring it out for everyone to see?" The old lady and others were about to get up and send Master Qing'an off, when Mrs. Qin suddenly looked towards her.

Zhaoxue said,

Zhaoxue raised her eyebrows, but without saying anything, there was still a faint smile on her lips. She probably already knew who was responsible for this sudden change, and believed that he would arrange it properly.

Just when Mrs. Qin was about to speak again, a servant's voice came from outside the house: "Master, Mr. Situ wants to see you."

Leng Ao's eyes flashed, he stood up and asked, "But Mr. Situ Chen from the Situ family?"

The boy nodded: "Sir, that's right."

"Please invite Mr. Situ to the main hall quickly." Leng Ao said hurriedly, knowing that the Situ family was extraordinary.

As soon as the boy left, Leng Ao hurriedly followed him out: "Wait a minute, I'll go and greet you personally."

Everyone in the room was looking at Leng Ao's back. There were too many things that happened tonight, and they couldn't react at the moment.

Mrs. Qin frowned, Young Master Situ Chen from the Situ family... If Yue'er could marry this Young Master Situ, he would be considered superior to others, but... Young Master Situ said that Murong Zhaoxue was his fiancée during the day, but he didn't know whether it was true or not...

Also, now Yue'er...the man in front of her...had a headache just thinking about it. She had warned Yue'er countless times not to leave the house at will, but she still wasn't prepared.

Old Mrs. Leng looked at Master Qing'an and stood up: "Master, I'm so sorry. It's so late. I'd like to trouble you to go."

Master Qing'an shook his head: "The old lady is so polite. If nothing happens, the old nun will leave."

"Lu Rong, take Master Tai back to the temple." The old lady ordered the maid next to her.

Lu Rong hurriedly stepped forward to lead Master Qing'an out. Just as she was walking to the door of the house, Leng Ao came towards her, followed by Situ Chen.

"Master." Leng Ao raised his hand towards Master Qing'an, but Situ Chen did not salute, but had a smile on his lips.

Master Qing'an nodded slightly and followed Lu Rong out of the room.

Leng Ao led Situ Chen into the room: "Master Situ, please take a seat quickly. Come, have tea with Master Situ."

Situ Chen smiled lightly and held his hands towards the old man and the old lady: "Situ Chen has met the old man and the old lady."

The old man Leng and the old lady knew about Situ Chen, so they hurriedly smiled and said: "Young Master Situ, you are so polite. Please take a seat."

Situ Chen nodded, but did not sit down. He just looked at Zhao Xue: "Xue'er, you left the dragon and phoenix together with me during the day, but you forgot to take yours back. Chen was afraid that you would be anxious, so he sent it here."

As he said that, he took out a jade pendant from his arms, took it lightly, and split it into two halves. He stretched out his hand and handed one half to Zhao Xue, his eyes shining with a faint smile.

Zhaoxue raised her eyebrows, stood up, stretched out her bare hand, and took the jade pendant in his hand: "Thank you, Mr. Situ."

Situ Chen smiled: "Xue'er, you are already Chen's fiancée, why do you need to be so polite."

Zhaoxue held half of the jade pendant and felt a gentle warmth in her hands. It was very comfortable and refreshing, but she didn't pay attention to Situ Chen's words.

Everyone in the room was stunned when Situ Chen took out the dragon and phoenix. The words spoken by Master Qing'an were already seventy percent convincing, but now they believed them completely.

Situ Chen looked at Zhao Xue dotingly: "Xue'er, since the jade pendant has been delivered, I'll take my leave now. See you tomorrow."

He turned around, looked at Leng Ao and the others, and held his hands: "Situ Chen takes leave." After that, he walked out of the house with a smile on his lips. Next, it was time for his little tiger to show off...
