Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

Su Qin's hand was held by Zhao Liangchen. She trembled slightly in surprise, but she didn't pull it out. Instead, she asked sullenly, "What can you do? Is the emperor really going to let me into the palace? Are you going to disobey his order?"

Zhao Liangchen looked into Su Qin's clear eyes, feeling a little nervous. He swallowed nervously, then stuttered and asked, "Su Qin, are you willing to get engaged to me?"

Su Qin's eyes widened instantly, and she asked in disbelief, "Engagement?"

Zhao Liangchen was afraid that Su Qin would be angry, so he hurriedly explained, "It's not a real engagement. Let's exchange engagement letters first. If the emperor asks you to enter the palace, you can refuse the emperor on the grounds that we are already engaged. If the emperor doesn't have that intention, then just pretend that this matter didn't exist, and I will return the engagement letter to you.

If you want to refuse to enter the palace, getting engaged is the fastest and safest way. Since the emperor wants the loyal assistance of your father and teacher, he will not do anything like forcibly taking his subjects away.

Don't worry, I know your ideals and what kind of life you want to live. After we get engaged, I will never interfere with anything you do. You can do whatever you want. You can even leave here and go to Ukraine if you want.

After a year or two, when the Emperor gives up this idea, if you meet someone you want to marry, or want freedom, I...”

The next words came out with some difficulty. He took a deep breath and continued, "When the time comes, I will break off the engagement with you and will definitely not delay you."

After saying this, he stared into Su Qin's eyes nervously, and his hands couldn't help but clench tighter, for fear that Su Qin would push him away in anger.

At this moment, he felt that he was despicable. Although proposing to get engaged to Su Qin was a temporary measure, only he knew in his heart how sincere he was when he said that he wanted to get engaged to Su Qin. He did not dare to express his feelings openly, and only dared to use this matter to hope that Su Qin would agree.

He felt that he was taking advantage of someone's misfortune and was a despicable villain, but despite this, he wanted to give it a try. Even if he couldn't be with Su Qin in the end, he wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Su Qin.

Su Qin looked at Zhao Liangchen silently for a long time without saying anything. The long wait made Zhao Liangchen more and more nervous, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

The two of them just stared at each other. Zhao Liangchen didn't dare to move, while Su Qin was thinking. It was unknown how much time had passed. Just when Zhao Liangchen thought Su Qin wouldn't agree, Su Qin nodded and said, "Okay."

Zhao Liangchen thought he had waited too long and his ears were hallucinating, so he asked again cautiously: "What did you say?"

Su Qin smiled and replied gently: "I said yes, we are engaged."

She thought about it and realized that she had been wrong before. Even if Su Jijing agreed that she could not get married, there were still uncontrollable factors from the outside world that forced her to get married.

For example, if the emperor lets her into the palace, or if there are officials who have higher official positions than Su Jijing but want to win over Su Jijing, if they coerce Su Jijing, can she really ignore the life and death of the Su family and live at ease?

If she were to ask herself, she couldn't do it. If she really could do it, she would not have saved the Su family but escaped on her own.

Even if the emperor has no plans to let her enter the palace this time, she should arrange her marriage as soon as possible to prevent similar things from happening again.

If you want to get engaged, Zhao Liangchen is the best candidate.

First, they know each other well. Zhao Liangchen knows very well what kind of person she is, and he will not restrict her to be a housewife who takes care of her husband and children.

Similarly, she also knew Zhao Liangchen's weaknesses. If Zhao Liangchen regretted it later and wanted to imprison her, like other noble ladies, she would have a way to deal with Zhao Liangchen.

Second, as Zhao Liangchen said, he knew all her plans, which would make it easier for her to act in the future without having to go through the trouble of lying. But if she really left here and broke off the engagement with Zhao Liangchen, it would be much easier than breaking off the engagement with someone else.

Zhao Liangchen was a little excited. He wanted to reach out and hug Su Qin, but he didn't dare. He could only nod incoherently: "Okay, then, I will go back to find the teacher. I don't have any parents anymore, so the teacher is the only one who can exchange the engagement letter."

Su Qin stood up and took away the hand that Zhao Liangchen had been holding. This man sweated too much, and her hand was uncomfortable with the sweat.

Zhao Liangchen felt a little disappointed when his hands were empty, but before he could let go of the feeling of loss, he heard Su Qin say, "Let's go."

Zhao Liangchen looked up: "Where are you going?"

Su Qin: "Go meet my parents. I need to discuss this matter with them."

Zhao Liangchen suddenly realized, yes, if he wanted to get engaged to someone's daughter, how could he do so without the consent of her parents?

He stood up and wanted to follow Su Qin, but the moment he took a step, the numbness in his legs made him gasp.

Su Qin turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Liangchen's face was full of embarrassment: "My feet are numb."

Su Qin found his expression funny and laughed out loud: "You'll feel better if you stamp your feet."

Zhao Liangchen was embarrassed to jump around in front of Su Qin, as it seemed too unstable.

Su Qin saw his concerns, turned around and said to Zhao Liangchen, "Go ahead and chop it off. I can't see it."

Zhao Liangchen then jumped up embarrassedly and bounced twice.

When the numbness in his legs eased, he walked over to Su Qin and whispered, "Let's go."

His affection was very serious, and he looked as if he was going to the battlefield.

Seeing how tense he was, Su Qin gently comforted him, "Don't be nervous, my parents are very easy to talk to."

Zhao Liangchen denied: "I'm not nervous."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped in the face. When he was stepping over the threshold, his legs were too stiff, and he tripped and almost fell.

"Puchi", Su Qin couldn't help laughing out loud.

Zhao Liangchen was really embarrassed now, but then when he saw Su Qin laughing happily, he suddenly stopped being nervous and started laughing too.

He is such a loser. A girl can talk about this kind of thing so calmly, why is he, a grown man, so nervous?

The two went to the main courtyard, but Su Jijing had not returned yet. Mrs. Su looked puzzled when she saw Su Qin bringing Zhao Liangchen with her.

Su Qin explained to him: "Mother, we have something to ask Father."

Mrs. Su was a little puzzled. Why didn't Su Jijing wait in the front yard, but brought people to the main courtyard?

But she didn't ask, instead she said, "Your father has been very busy lately and comes home very late every day. I'm afraid you will have to wait a long time."

Su Qin: "Don't worry, mother, I want to keep Liangchen here for dinner."

You need to inform in advance when you want to visit someone for dinner. Today, Zhao Liangchen came in a hurry, and the Zhao family had not prepared anything.

Zhao Liangchen quickly refused: "No thanks."

Su Qin: "Have you eaten?"

Zhao Liangchen didn't dare to lie in front of Su Qin, and could only shake his head embarrassedly: "Not yet."

As soon as he came out of the palace, he went to Zeng Lao's place without stopping, and then came here again. He had no time to eat.

Su Qin glared at him: "Then what are you talking about not having to do? Have you forgotten that you can't be hungry?"

Zhao Liangchen felt warm in his heart and no longer refused.

Madam Su noticed some differences between them, but without asking any more questions, she quickly ordered people to prepare and said to Zhao Liangchen, "Master Zhao is my family's savior. I originally wanted to take time out to host a banquet to thank you, but the master has never had the time.

Today is a good day, so I will treat you to a family dinner. Even if the preparations are not perfect, please forgive me."

Zhao Liangchen hurriedly said he didn't dare: "Madam, you are too polite. It was my abruptness in coming here today. I apologize for any offense."
