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

Because Zhao Liangchen was a man from outside the Su family, the male head of the Su family was not at home, and Su Sheng was too young, Mrs. Su invited the Xu family to accompany him and let Xu Feng accompany Zhao Liangchen.

The Xu family was a little surprised to see Zhao Liangchen coming. Although they knew that Su Qin was very familiar with him, they were still a little surprised that he would come to their house for dinner.

Xu Feng saw that Zhao Liangchen's eyes were always following Su Qin. His eyes were a little dim, but he didn't show anything and entertained Zhao Liangchen very attentively.

After dinner, Su Jijing and Xu Chunshan had not returned yet. Su Qin first gave the Su and Xu families a heads-up, telling them what the emperor might be thinking.

Before Su Qin finished speaking, everyone present was frightened.

Madam Su and Madam Xu covered their mouths in surprise. Xu Feng and Su Jin were stunned and looked at Su Jin worriedly. Although Su Sheng was young, he understood. He knew what it meant to enter the palace, and he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, but he knew it was bad from the adults' expressions, so he was also worried.

Only Xu Yunguo was the boldest. She stood up and rushed to Su Qin, shouting anxiously, "No, Sister Su, you can't enter the palace. I heard that the emperor has many wives. He won't treat you well."

"Yun Guo, shut up."

Xu Feng, who had always been gentle and kind, suddenly scolded Xu Yunguo with a cold face.

Xu Yunguo was a little anxious, and turned back to Xu Feng and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, I can't shut up, please help me persuade Sister Su, she can't enter the palace."

Xu Feng was really angry and scolded, "Do you have the final say on whether I can enter the palace or not? You dare to discuss royal affairs? If you don't want to live, don't bring trouble to Master Su's family."

Xu Yunguo now realized that she had made a mistake and quickly covered her mouth and apologized guiltily: "I'm sorry."

Su Qin patted Xu Yunguo's shoulder and said softly, "It's okay. You care about me. Don't worry, I won't go into the palace."

Xu Yunguo was relieved now: "That's good."

Madam Su said with a pale face: "Qin'er, whether you enter the palace or not is not up to us to decide. If the emperor really has this intention for you, then you can't hide away."

Su Qin: "Okay, I've already discussed it with Liangchen. We're engaged. The emperor can't steal my wife away, right?"

After saying this, everyone was shocked again.

Madam Su: "Engagement? You..."

She wanted to say that it was too hasty. Didn't Su Qin say before that she didn't want to get married? But when she saw the look in Zhao Liangchen's eyes, she understood instantly. Su Qin might not have feelings for Zhao Liangchen, but Zhao Liangchen definitely had feelings for Su Qin.

Therefore, she did not voice her objection, and was worried about another thing: "But the emperor just said that you can enter the palace to attend the banquet today, and you are already looking for someone to get engaged. Wouldn't it seem too deliberate and anger the emperor?"

Su Qin: "Who said we got engaged today? We were engaged a long time ago."

Madam Su was dumbfounded: "When?"

Su Qin: "It's fake, but it has to be made real. The engagement must be made in advance, otherwise it will be easy to reveal flaws."

Madam Su understood what she meant: "But we just came back, and your father has been busy. How could he have time to arrange a marriage for you? It's useless before this, and no one would believe it if you told others."

Su Qin: "This was decided before you left Shangjing City to go to Chanzhou for disaster relief.

At that time, I was temporarily staying at my grandfather's house and met Liangchen often. We developed feelings for each other. Later, when he learned that my parents were you, he proposed to me after he took you out of prison.

You agreed because you were grateful for the care he and my grandfather took for me. When you left, we returned the engagement letter. My grandfather was the matchmaker.

It's not that you're already engaged, and you don't know when you'll be back. You were afraid it would delay our wedding, so you left me here with Grandpa to arrange the wedding for me. Otherwise, how could you be at ease leaving me alone in Shangjing City? "

Mrs. Su was stunned when she heard this. When they left, she only saw Su Qin from a distance in the car and they didn't even talk to each other. How could they be engaged?

But it makes sense when you think about it. It was indeed Zhao Liangchen who picked them up and arranged for them to be released from prison, so it is completely reasonable to propose marriage at this time.

Su Qin's words made sense and sounded very reasonable.

At this time, Xu Feng spoke up: "Miss Su is right. If the emperor really has feelings for her, then engagement is the most reasonable way to get rid of this matter. In order not to cause the emperor's dissatisfaction, this time must be advanced. The time before we return to Chanzhou is the most reasonable."

As he said these words, his heart ached dully.

In fact, as early as when they fled north with Su Qin, he had a great liking for this seemingly weak but extremely strong and intelligent girl.

Later, Su Qin helped him again and again. It can be said that without Su Qin, he would have died long ago. This made him hold Su Qin in his heart even more.

But at that time he was in poor health and staying alive was a luxury, so he never expressed this feeling out loud.

This time when he came back and saw the energetic and more charming Su Qin again, he couldn't help but think about the possibilities between them.

Although his health has not yet fully recovered and he has not yet passed the imperial examination.

But the imperial physician said that as long as he took good care of himself, his body would be no different from that of a normal person.

He also firmly believed that he would be on the list in the next imperial examination.

His family has a good relationship with the Su family, so he thinks he still has a chance.

But he didn't expect that such a thing would happen before he could even fall in love.

Although he was heartbroken, he had to admit that Zhao Liangchen was the best person to solve this matter.

Zhao Liangchen, I hold a high official position and am the emperor's confidant. I am more persuasive than a commoner like him, and it will be easier for the emperor to give up.

Moreover, Zhao Liangchen is in good health and has a successful career. From the way he looks at Su Qin, one can tell that he likes her very much.

Such a husband was better than him, so despite the pain in his heart, he still supported the decision.

After hearing what Xu Feng said, Madam Su also had an idea in her mind: "We have to wait for your father to come back and discuss this matter with him."

Su Qin nodded: "It should be."

After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Su Jin, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Mother, has your sister's marriage been arranged?"

Madam Su was stunned and shook her head, "No, I've been busy all the time. I don't have time to look after her. I originally wanted to start looking after her after the New Year."

Su Jin's face turned red when she mentioned marriage. She glanced cautiously at Xu Feng beside her, but when she saw that his eyes were fixed on Su Qin, she lowered her head in disappointment.

Su Qin: "Mother, just in case, you should arrange a marriage for my sister as soon as possible."

Madam Su asked in shock, "Are you saying that the Emperor might allow Jin'er to enter the palace as well?"

Su Qin: "I don't know either, but the emperor wants me to enter the palace just to make my father serve him wholeheartedly.

Now that I'm engaged, he has no hope, so it's inevitable that he will set his sights on my sister. After all, we are both legitimate daughters of the Su family."
