Spring Drunk Chang'an

In the carriage, Xiao Chuo and Xiong Zhen chatted for a while.

It didn't take too long, but after Xiong Zhen got off the carriage, he knelt in front of the carriage and kowtowed heavily to Xiao Chuo.

He said, "Master..."

Xiao Chuo accepted it calmly, then waved her hand, and Xiong Zhen respectfully took his leave.

Then hide behind a tree.

Xiao Chuo agreed and went to Duke Cheng'en's mansion as planned to find his little girl.

At that time, Liu Changan was chatting with Shi Xiaoyue. Seeing Xiao Chuo coming, Shi Xiaoyue was very tactful, "Sister Changan, it's getting late, I'm going home first!"

She stood up to say goodbye.

Liu Chang'an looked at Xiao Chuo's expression and seemed to have something to say to her, so he didn't keep Shi Xiaoyue. With a smile on his face, he sent her out of the second gate.

Shi Xiaoyue waved to the two of them, winked at Liu Changan, and left.

Liu Changan's face turned red.

However, Xiao Chuo felt quite satisfied with Shi Xiaoyue. She was indeed a perceptive little girl, and all the effort he put into Xiong Zhen was worthwhile.

He took Liu Chang'an's arm and returned to the courtyard. His eyes darkened as he thought about the matter between Shi Xiaoyue and Xiong Zhen, which had not been resolved after all. He had not dealt with that Young Master Zhao Shiyi yet, so there was no need to speak out about it first.

So, putting the matter aside, Xiao Chuo simply said, "Chang'an, I have already informed my father about our relationship, and he has promised to grant us the marriage."

Liu Changan's face turned even redder, and his almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears, showing both shyness and joy.

Emperor Yingwu agreed, and the biggest obstacle between her and the prince was removed. Liu Changan was of course happy, but as an unmarried girl, she always felt shy and embarrassed to discuss marriage with her beloved.

She couldn't say anything, so she lowered her head and whispered, "It's also a happy event..."

"I need to talk to my mother."

"And grandpa and grandma, they are always thinking about me!"

"That's natural."

Xiao Chuo smiled and naturally took her hand.

He stood up and wanted to take her to see the elders.

Liu Changan bit her lip slightly, her eyes falling on their folded hands, and she struggled slightly.

Xiao Chuo acted as if she was unaware and didn't let go at all.

Liu Changan: ...

Never mind. Anyway, we have informed both sets of parents, so it is settled.

She remained silent and held Xiao Chuo's hand instead.

The smile on Xiao Chuo's lips became more and more obvious.

The two walked shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand, to the main courtyard and met Song Bin, Old Lady Song, Song Zhilan and others.

Xiao Chuo told Emperor Yingwu about his plan to grant her a marriage.

The Song family was naturally happy, especially Old Lady Song. Although she didn't show any expression on the surface, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the worry that had been hanging in the air was finally put down by about 70 to 80 percent.

As for the little that is left, perhaps they will not be able to relax completely until the imperial decree grants them the right to go home and they have their wedding night.

-

The atmosphere in the Song family was warm and cheerful. Outside the Cheng'en Mansion, Shi Xiaoyue sat in the carriage, tilting her head and staring blankly at the curtain.

After a moment, she leaned forward slightly, raised her hand to open the carriage curtain, and looked at the tall figure driving the carriage with his back to her. She took a deep breath and said, "Brother Xiong, haven't you finished your recent troublesome matter?"

"I see you haven't been in a very good mood..."

Xiong Zhen had a falling out with Shi Xiaoyue and had quietly distanced himself from her. He had quietly adjusted for a while and things were much better. He no longer avoided meeting Shi Xiaoyue, and whenever she went out, he would be picked up and dropped off by car and accompanied by bodyguards, but...

It is somewhat different from the previous intimacy, like being one person.

Shi Xiaoyue felt uncomfortable and extremely uncomfortable. She wanted to comfort him and change him. However, no matter how slow or naive she was about feelings, when facing her beloved, she always had some vague expectations in her heart.

She didn't dare to break the window paper.

She was afraid that Xiong Zhen would stop escaping and simply leave, which would be the end of her!

But today, although Xiong Zhen was still silent, Shi Xiaoyue always felt that something was different from his body language, eyebrows and eyes.

It was as if the ruins that were once in ruins suddenly came to life. Although no flowers bloomed, the essence was indeed different.

"Brother Xiong, you, you..."

Clicked on it?

What exactly happened to you?

Shi Xiaoyue was very curious and excited.

Xiong Zhen did not look back, but continued to whip the horse silently. He had raised Shi Xiaoyue since she was less than a year old. Her character could be said to have been shaped by Xiong Zhen.

Shi Xiaoyue's naivety, ignorance, slowness and slightly cold and utilitarian attitude towards feelings were all instilled in her by him bit by bit.

After all, having parents like Shi Lin and Princess Nan Weng, who are too sentimental, can definitely be considered a disaster for Shi Xiaoyue.

In the relationship between the two, Xiong Zhen has given all his heart, while Shi Xiaoyue is confused and dazed, seeming to understand but not quite. This situation was also deliberately created by Xiong Zhen.

The reason why he had been distant recently was, firstly, that he was feeling uncomfortable and wanted to avoid her, and secondly, Shi Xiaoyue's engagement to the Eleventh Young Master was imminent, and as a foreigner, he had to consider Shi Xiaoyue's reputation.

During those years, they relied on each other in the temple, which made their relationship too close. There was almost no separation between men and women. Shi Xiaoyue could enter his room whenever she wanted without even knocking on the door.

Although he pays attention to it during their daily interactions, occasional tugs of war are inevitable.

Of course, there was no transgression between the two of them, but it was somewhat excessive.

In the past, Shi Xiaoyue was a nobody in the Duke of Qi's Mansion. Shi Lin would not see her for ten days or half a month. Princess Nan Weng would only bother her occasionally when she was in a bad mood, but she usually didn't bother to pay attention to her. Her younger brothers and sisters were even more reluctant to take her out to play.

Even those illegitimate children would rather hold Princess Nan Weng's biological son in their arms and treat Shi Xiaoyue coldly for being loyal.

Therefore, even though he knew that his behavior was not in line with the norms between men and women, Xiong Zhen was reluctant to ignore Shi Xiaoyue.

He loves his daughter so much that he cannot let her be alone.

However, the situation is different now that they are engaged. Even if there is no hope, the Eleventh Young Master and his daughter are in love, after all, he is a lustful man.

However, Xiong Zhen could not allow the Shouning Marquis's Mansion to find fault with his young lady.

Reputation issues must be taken seriously.

Therefore, Xiong Zhen gradually distanced himself from Shi Xiaoyue, preparing to let her adapt to this situation little by little.

He was about to exit her life.

I won't stay away, I won't escape, I just want to stand in a position that won't affect her marriage life, won't affect her happy life, watch her from afar, and protect her!

If she is safe and happy, he will stand there for the rest of his life and never be seen by others. If she is not well and someone lets her down, he will know it at the first time and give everything for her, even his life!

Xiong Zhen has always thought so and decided to do so.

He has done very well during this period...
