Chapter 425 Choosing with relatives
Chapter 425 Choosing with relatives
Su Nuan didn't need to answer Liao Xinyi's question at all, as Xia Changze had already answered it. In his description, Xia Changxiao was like a god of war who had descended to earth, invincible.
Su Nuan knew this story, but because she had never seen the battle scene with her own eyes, she could not imagine the scene. However, after listening to Xia Changze's description, she had a sense of the picture and immediately admired this big brother.
She was so absorbed in listening to the story that she completely ignored the shining look in Liao Xinyi's eyes beside her.
The carriage carried three people to the general's mansion, but met Xia Lian halfway.
"Miss, it's General Xia."
As soon as Ye Xiaobai saw Xia Lian, he quickly informed Su Nuan.
Su Nuan quickly lifted the car curtain and looked out.
At this time, Xia Lian also noticed the carriage here and happened to see Su Nuan.
"Yan'er, where are you going?"
"Dad, my daughter wants to go back to the general's mansion."
Xia Lian frowned and said, "The emperor is holding a banquet in the palace. Didn't the prince bring you into the palace with him?"
Su Nuan didn't dare to say that he had rejected the prince's "invitation" for fear that his father would ask him the reason.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is here to welcome my brother outside the city gate today on behalf of the Emperor."
"He has nothing to be proud of, but he has won a few battles."
If someone else said this, Su Nuan would definitely say that the other person was just sour grapes, but there was really no way to refute what Daddy said. He was the only one in the entire Nanzhao Kingdom who had the right to say such things.
"Don't go back to the General's Mansion yet. Come with me to the palace. The Emperor is hosting a banquet. As the Crown Prince's concubine and Chang Xiao's sister, it would be inappropriate for you not to go."
Su Nuan could understand this "inappropriateness". Her elder brother was highly regarded by the Emperor, so naturally, as his younger sister, she would be looked up to. However, if she did not show up at the palace banquet, people would surely speculate that she had fallen out of favor with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
She didn't care what others thought. "Dad, there's nothing inappropriate. As long as you and the elder and second brothers have military merits, no one will dare to look down on my daughter whether she enters the palace today or not."
"How can they be the same?" Xia Lian said in a deep voice, "Today the Emperor will announce the candidate for the marriage with Princess Fanli. I see that the Emperor intends to bring the Crown Prince and Princess Fanli together. You come with me to the palace today. If the Crown Prince agrees to the marriage, I will ask the Emperor for his order."
It was not convenient to say what the decree was, but Su Nuan understood it in her heart, and Xia Changze in the carriage also understood it.
"Little sister, you should go. It won't be easy for you to marry the Crown Prince. You can't let Dad go to ask the Emperor for the decree today."
Su Nuan felt that this made sense. Asking the emperor for a divorce decree would be a slap in the face of the royal family. The emperor would definitely feel disgusted with his father after being "slapped in the face" in front of so many people. At that time, let alone a divorce, the future of the Xia family and his son might even be affected.
And when she heard that the Emperor intended to bring the Crown Prince and Princess Fanli together, she had a new idea.
"Okay then, I'll go to the palace with Daddy. But what about Third Brother and Xinyi?"
"It's not far from the general's mansion. We can just walk back." Xia Changze replied.
Su Nuan looked at Liao Xinyi, who seemed a little embarrassed.
Being led into the general's mansion by the young lady of the Xia family has a completely different meaning than being led in by the young master of the Xia family. It would be bad if there was any misunderstanding.
"Why don't I go back to the villa first, and then I'll go with you to visit Madam Xia another day."
Su Nuan also thought this was the best, but before she could say anything, Xia Changze said, "Now that you've come this far, don't go back. Mother has long wanted to meet a friend like you since she heard that I have one. Besides, you treated my injuries twice, so it's not an exaggeration to say that you are my benefactor. Let me show my hospitality by going to the General's Mansion."
"this......"
Liao Xinyi was hesitant.
"Don't hesitate, Daddy is still waiting for my little sister, let's go down first."
Xia Changze urged.
Liao Xinyi had no choice but to follow him out of the carriage.
When Xia Lian saw his son getting off his daughter's carriage, he didn't think much of it, but when a girl came down with him, his eyes lit up and he gave Xia Changze an admiring look.
"Who is this girl?"
Liao Xinyi stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I, Liao Xinyi, greet General Xia."
"Are you the Divine Doctor Liao?"
"I have opened a clinic, but I don't deserve the title of miracle doctor."
"I heard that you saved my son and daughter. I should have personally welcomed you to the general's mansion and treated you well. But today is unfortunate and I need to go to the palace. Why don't you go back to the general's mansion with my son first? I will thank you when I get back."
"The general is serious."
While Xia Lian was being polite with Liao Xinyi, Su Nuan was already telling her third brother to take good care of Liao Xinyi.
