The Lone Star of the Tang Dynasty

Qin Ruochan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, cursing in her heart why she thought of that person when she mentioned marriage, while desperately thinking about how to skillfully shirk it. She really can't be interested in getting married, and now this situation makes her pretend to be calm on the surface, but in fact she is in a mess inside.

Fortunately, after a few seconds, she found an excuse: "Niangniang may not know that the little girl accidentally offended a person a few days ago, so she ......".

When Empress Changsun heard this, her willow eyebrows were raised, and she said sharply: "Who have you offended?" Ruochan girl, you can tell this palace, who dares to bully my future daughter-in-law!" The words were full of short-term protection, ready to stand up for Qin Ruochan.

Seeing this, Qin Ruochan hurriedly waved her hand to clarify: "Niangniang misunderstood, in fact, it was a friend of mine, and it was just a private matter." When I get things properly handled, I'll definitely reply to my mother. "

Empress Eldest Sun pondered for a while, and felt that Qin Ruochan could solve her own problems first and then talk about marriage, which was indeed a safe way.

Qin Qiong, who was on the side, couldn't help frowning, obviously full of doubts and worries about her daughter's marriage and the "offended person" she mentioned.

"Some private matters, Ruochan, are you going out to make trouble without permission again?" Qin Qiong immediately became anxious when she heard that her daughter had a private matter. He knew that his precious daughter was more naughty and active than his two sons, and often did unexpected things.

When Empress Changsun heard this, she looked curious and asked, "What's the matter?"

Qin Qiong told the truth with a wry smile: "Niangniang may not know that the little girl has been obsessed with dancing and swords recently, and she also likes to learn martial arts from others, and sometimes she even fights because of this......" The words revealed helplessness and worry about her daughter's behavior.

Empress Changsun did not express her dissatisfaction with this, but sneered, feeling that this may be a deviant behavior in the eyes of some rigid and conservative Confucians, but in her eyes it is quite valuable. She thought to herself that if Chan was outstanding in martial arts, she could just protect her future husband, and that her independent and strong personality might be better able to control the overall situation among the many beauties, which was a good thing.

Regarding trivial matters between young people, Empress Eldest Sun wisely chose not to ask too much, and only responded with a smile: "With General Qin personally taking care of it, the palace naturally doesn't need to worry too much." "

then encouraged Qin Ruochan and said, "The tiger father has no dog girl, and the martial arts fight is just a trivial matter, but you can't lose it no matter what, and you can't let your father's prestige be damaged, you know?"

Facing the encouraging gaze of Empress Eldest Sun, Qin Ruochan's cheeks instantly flushed, and she could only nod awkwardly. She knew in her heart that she was just looking for an excuse to shirk the marriage, but in fact, she planned to find someone to make amends.

According to the number of etiquette, Qin Ruochan should have confessed the truth at this moment, but she also knew that if the queen mother learned that person was the god of poetry of the Tang Dynasty, who was famous all over the world and was deeply supported by scholars, I am afraid that even the queen would be difficult to oppose their marriage. In this way, if he goes against the wishes of the queen, will it affect his father's career?

Thinking of this, Qin Ruochan didn't dare to reveal the truth for a while, so she had to remain silent for the time being and swallow the words back into her stomach.

After the queen left, Qin Qiong's expression became solemn, and her brows were furrowed, as if she was thinking about something important.

He turned his gaze to Qin Ruochan, who was about to return to the boudoir, with a bit of seriousness in his voice, "Ruochan, don't be busy yet, I have something to ask you." "

Qin Ruochan's heart jumped suddenly, and her cheeks, which were already a little red, were even more burning at the moment.

She lowered her head, secretly flustered in her heart, could it be that her father already knew?

Qin Qiong observed her daughter's reaction, and she already knew a little in her heart.

He asked softly, "Ruochan, have you made a private agreement with someone for life?"

Qin Ruochan's heart was in a mess, she never thought that her father would ask about this matter so directly.

She tried to hide it, but there was a hint of panic in her voice, "Daddy, what are you talking about......?

Qin Qiong interrupted her words, and there was a bit of helplessness and sigh in his tone, "Ruochan, you don't have to hide it from me. It seems to be true. It's just that you know that the queen mother intends to be a matchmaker for you, so how can the husband's family be bad?

Qin Ruochan was already in turmoil at the moment, she didn't expect her father to be so insightful of her thoughts. She struggled to explain, but she didn't know how to say it.

Seeing her daughter's reaction, Qin Qiong already knew a little in her heart. He knew that his daughter was smart and clever, with her own ideas and persistence. But he also understands that as a father, he has a responsibility to think about his daughter's future.

He sighed, revealing a bit of helplessness and worry in his tone, "Ruochan, you are no longer a child, you are both civil and military, and I, as a father, can't control you too much." But you have to remember that marriage is not a child's play. You can't just find someone and make a promise for life, you know?"

Qin Ruochan was already flustered at the moment, she tried to justify, but when the words came to her mouth, they turned into another rhetoric, "Daddy, what did you say......?

Qin Qiong looked at her flustered appearance, and her heart was even clearer. He didn't ask anymore, just shook his head and sighed in his heart. He knew that this time things were indeed a little complicated. Although His Majesty issued an edict to reform the atmosphere and support the free marriage of young people, the queen's intention was not easy to refuse. That's a real nuisance!

At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through Qin Qiong's mind.

He remembered his daughter's experience of attending the piano fight a few days ago, and the talented young man who won the first prize. Could it be that the young talent mentioned by the queen mother is this person? This thought flashed through Qin Qiong's mind, and it suddenly made him feel that it was possible. But he also knew that he couldn't be sure yet, so he could only let his daughter contact it first.

Qin Qiong secretly decided in his heart that he wanted to find an opportunity for his daughter to meet the young man to see if they were destined.

After all, the marriage event still has to focus on the happiness of the daughter!
