Wishful Things

No matter what the standpoint is, if Miss Xu asks to keep him, how should he respond?

In all fairness, as a friend, he doesn't want to reject each other.

But he has always been a principled person. Now that he has made a decision, he should not be disturbed by external factors——

"Shouldn't you have lunch yet?"

The queen smiled and said to her nephew who was inexplicably troubled: "It's better to go back after lunch."

Wu Chao thought for a while, then nodded slightly.

It is rare for him and his aunt to see each other. Now that he is leaving Beijing soon, having a meal with his aunt is what juniors should do.

The queen then confessed to Mother Jiang beside her: "Mom, please go to the imperial dining room yourself."

Nanny Jiang is an old servant of the Wu family, and before Wu Chao entered Beijing this time, she deliberately found out the eating habits of her grandson, so it was most appropriate for her to go to the imperial dining room to give instructions.

"There are no other people around, so I don't stick too much today."

The Empress took Wu Chao and Xu Mingyi to the East Nuan Pavilion, where there were no short tables for guests, but only a large sandalwood carved Eight Immortals table.

The queen sat on the front seat, and Wu Chao and Xu Mingyi sat beside her, one on the left and one on the right.

The maids who passed on the meal came in one file at a time with trays in hand, and Mother Jiang was beside her, gesturing which dish to put where.

Wu Chao glanced at it, and said casually, "Excuse me, change the dishes."

Mother Jiang was slightly taken aback.

The dishes placed in front of Shisun are all according to Shisun's preferences, how could Shisun specifically say to change them?

Could it be that after coming to the capital, the taste suddenly changed?

Thinking in this way, Mother Jiang subconsciously looked at her mother.

The queen nodded with a smile, but her eyes flickered slightly.

There is something wrong with her Ah Yuan...

The children of orthodox families all have the habit of not picking up food from other places even if the food in front of them is not to their taste, let alone asking for a change.

What's more needless to mention is that A Yuan is a grandson of the Wu family. These rules have been engraved in his bones since he was a child. It is impossible to say such words from his mouth...

The maid quickly changed the dishes.

Looking at the food in front of him, Xu Mingyi also felt a little strange.

These are indeed the dishes that Wu Chao likes to eat in her impression, that's right, that's what she ordered in the Qingfeng Building that day, I still remember how he obviously had a good time eating too?

"My nephew respects my aunt."

After the court lady arranged the bowls and chopsticks, the boy raised his wine glass.

The queen picked up the fruit wine in front of her with a smile.

Xu Mingyi also drank a cup of fruit wine.

"Move your chopsticks." The queen picked up the chopsticks and looked at the two children beside her tenderly.

Xu Mingyi tasted the two dishes in front of him and found them quite delicious.

At the same time, a guess suddenly appeared in his heart - Wu Chao didn't think that what she ordered that day in Qingfeng Tower was all her favorite food, right?

She has never doubted the upbringing and demeanor of this Wu Shisun, and she has also seen the righteousness shown by the other party these days, and even faintly makes people think it is very easy to deceive...

But these are all established before the official business, how can he be so considerate and considerate in private matters?

In her previous life, she always thought that this was a person who acted straightforwardly and was extremely afraid of trouble, so he talked much less than ordinary people——

No matter how he thought or felt wrong, Xu Mingyi couldn't help but quietly raised his eyes to look at the boy sitting opposite him.

The boy was good-looking, and his eating was also very good-looking. His movements were clearly not slow, and he didn't feel too slow, but it was also pleasing to the eye.

Aware of this gaze, Wu Chao paused slightly while chewing.

Xu Mingyi is also a perceptive person. Seeing that he seemed to notice, he immediately looked away and started eating honestly.

Seeing her like this from the corner of the eye, Wu Chao twitched the corners of his mouth seemingly.

If you want to see him look at it openly, he is not that kind of stingy person.

At this moment, the boy completely forgot the uncontrollable urge to explode in his heart when he was stared at.

After a meal, the maid removed the food and replaced it with tea.

The queen seemed to be in a particularly good mood today. She drank a lot of fruit wine during the banquet, and kept smiling all the time. After talking with her nephew for a while, she turned her gaze back to the girl beside her.

"Miss Xu must be sixteen this year?" The queen asked with a smile.

Xu Mingyi nodded: "Go back to your mother, that's right."

On this point alone, even the empress is much better than her second uncle who can't remember how old she is.

"Accordingly, it's time to worry about your marriage." The empress smiled softly and kindly: "If there is no one in the family, can I ask this palace to take care of you?"

Wu Chao frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Aunt is drunk?

Why worry about asking about the marriage of other girls.

"There is no one in discussion." Xu Mingyi said with a smile, without any shyness on his face.

She also noticed that when Empress Empress mentioned this matter at this time, she really treated her as a junior she liked, rather than having other thoughts and wanting to interfere in her marriage.

"Speaking of which, in the spring of next year, we will be taking Jinshi..." The queen said: "If there are talented people with both talents and looks, you can pay more attention to it."

Before Xu Mingyi had time to respond, he only heard the young man on the side say: "Miss Xu is from a general family background, an ordinary scholar, I'm afraid she won't be able to get along with her easily."

According to her temperament of "let's talk after I'm convinced", how can a weak scholar be her opponent?

What's more, there are risks involved in catching a son-in-law under the list. Those Jinshi come from all over the world, so it is difficult to find out the real background and character.

In his opinion, it is not reliable at all.

It's rare to see a nephew talk so much, the empress suppressed the strangeness in her heart, smiled and said to Xu Mingyi: "Ah Yuan's words are also reasonable, if the scholars don't agree with you, among those generals who are acquainted with the Duke of Zhen, you may be able to read carefully." Pick and choose."

But as soon as she finished her sentence, her nephew frowned slightly again.

The corner of the queen's mouth condensed into a slight smile—is her family, A Yuan, dissatisfied with what he heard?

Sure enough, the young man took over the words and said seriously: "The founding of Daqing was only a few decades ago, most of the generals were born recklessly, and there are still some shortcomings in the education of their children. Of course, it doesn't matter where a hero comes from, but if you want to pick a husband and son-in-law, it doesn't necessarily matter. Excellent match."

Find someone who is also from the general family, and if the two of them disagree with each other, how can they live in harmony?

He still felt unreliable.

The queen looked at her nephew with complicated eyes.

He thinks the literary ones are too literary, and the military ones think they are too martial...

——What is the reason for the feeling that this picture of the father-in-law and the son-in-law can't catch his eyes anyway?

If he had a daughter in the future, he might make life difficult for his son-in-law, right?

Xu Mingyi also looked at the serious boy.

Considering everything more than her father, is Wu Shisun so worried about her marriage?
