Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1711

After Zheng Qiaoer and Qin Fangfei left, Shi Anxia called Hongque over.

Seeing her eyes slightly red, I knew she must have heard something, so I asked softly, "Why, is my little red magpie sad?"

Hong Que shook his head and said in a low voice, "No."

Shi Anxia pulled her hand over, and gently stroked the thin calluses on her palms left by years of work with his fingertips. "If you have it, then you have it. You don't have to hold on in front of me."

Hongque lowered her head, said nothing, and pursed her lips tightly.

Shi Anxia felt a little sad when she saw her like this, but she teased her on purpose, "Come to think of it, my Hong Que has reached the age to discuss marriage. I was wondering a while ago, who in the capital is worthy of my little beauty? After thinking about it, I feel that no one is worthy of her."

Hong Que's ears turned red as she was told this. She muttered in a nasal voice, "Madam, please don't tease me. I'm not that good..."

"Why not?" Shi Anxia pinched her fingertips and smiled softly, "My Hongque is the most beautiful girl. At that time, I heard that cousin Xinghe liked you, and I thought that if it was him, it would be barely pleasing to his eye."

After all, good things should be kept within the family. However——

She paused, her tone slightly deep, "He is a man who values ​​loyalty, is easily impulsive, and does things without thinking ahead. Right now, he is so hot-headed that he wants to marry Miss Chi because of Chi Yue's death. When he calms down, he may regret it."

Hong Que listened to the lady's words of comfort, her eyes became more sore and tears welled up in her eyes, but she forced herself not to let them fall.

Shi Anxia patted the back of her hand and said, "Don't worry, leave him alone for now. If he can't calm down, I will personally pick a better marriage for you, how about that?"

Hong Que responded in a low voice: "Madam, Hong Que is not in a hurry. As long as I can follow you, Hong Que will always be at peace."

"That's good." Shi Anxia raised her hand, and gently brushed the red corners of her eyes with her fingertips, and said softly, "Then you follow Bei Hui to find out about the Chi family's background, and see what Miss Chi's situation is like, and what the Chi family's situation is like. Let's solve Tang Xinghe's worries first, and then-"

She narrowed her eyes, and there was a hint of danger in her smile, "Take good care of him."

Hong Que was startled: "Deal with him?"

"Of course." Shi Anxia snorted, "I clearly had a verbal agreement with you, but now I want to marry someone else. Shouldn't I be punished?"

Hong Que shook her head, took a deep breath, and said in a hoarse voice, "Madam... I don't want to get married. I want to follow you forever. Can you give me a meal and let me be your little maid for the rest of my life?"

Shi Anxia didn't refute her, she just smiled and agreed, "Okay. If you don't want to get married, just stay at home, I can support you. If you want to get married in the future, I will prepare a thick dowry for you and marry you off in a grand manner."

Hongque felt a pain in her nose and tears finally rolled down.

She knelt gently in front of Shi Anxia, resting her forehead on her knees, her voice choked with sobs, "Madam... why are you so nice to me?"

Shi Anxia reached out and rubbed her hair, doting on her. "Silly girl, why? You are mine. If I don't treat you well, who should I treat well?"

Hong Que burst into laughter, her heart seemed to be filled with something. She thought, no matter what happens in this life, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Because she has a wife.

Guicheng military camp.

Ma Chuyang was covered in wounds, grinning as he huddled beside Tang Xinghe's bed. He took a few bites of a dry, hard steamed bread and frowned as he asked, "Did you really write a letter asking your mother to go to the Chi family to propose marriage? What about Hong Que?"
