MTL - Ci Jinzhi-Chapter 188 Miss Kou looks like me
Chapter 188 Miss Kou and I look alike
It is not easy to dress too plainly for such a banquet. The girl who took off her cloak was wearing a honey-colored double-breasted jacket and a garnet red skirt. Because she lowered her head, she could only see a simple gold hairpin in her bun, and two round pearls of different lengths hanging down.
Emperor Xing Yuan was curious, but his face was indifferent: "Excuse me."
Xin You stood up straight, still with her head half down.
It is impolite to look directly at Tianyan, but at this time Emperor Xingyuan was somewhat dissatisfied with this rule.
He ran all the way here, at least to see what Miss Kou looks like. Just look at the top of the head, and let the maids lower their heads in the palace.
"Miss Kou donated 50,000 taels of silver to the disaster area, which moved me. Miss Kou, please raise your head, don't be restrained."
The ground in the hall was covered with thick blankets, and some palace lady dropped a small silk flower, which was within Xinyou's lowered sight.
Hearing Emperor Xing Yuan's words, her heart was full of turmoil, but her face remained calm, and she slowly raised her head.
Seeing Xin You's appearance clearly, Emperor Xing Yuan was stunned.
That face is so familiar, especially a pair of long and big eyes, with thin eyelids and slightly raised eye tails, there is a sense of cold distance for no reason.
Emperor Xingyuan was in a trance for a moment.
This girl looks too much like him.
Xin You looked at Emperor Xing Yuan, and his eyes fluctuated.
She knew that she was somewhat similar to Princess Zhaoyang, so she couldn't help guessing that she might also have similarities with this person.
But face to face seriously, this excessive similarity from blood made her panic from the bottom of her heart.
It's really similar.
The two of them made eye contact, and there was a brief silence in the hall.
The people present faintly sensed that the atmosphere was weird, but they didn't dare to stare at the emperor carefully. Most people stared at the ground in an orderly manner, and a very few who were brave enough to scan quietly with their corners of the eye could not scan too much.
This is also the reason why not many people think about Emperor Xingyuan even though there are rumors that Miss Kou and Princess Zhaoyang look alike.
Emperor Xingyuan came to his senses first, nodded and said: "Miss Kou's righteous deed, the people of Dingbei will remember it."
"As a citizen of Daxia, this is what a girl should do."
The word "Zimin" moved Emperor Xingyuan's heart: "I remember that Miss Kou is the niece of Duan Shaoqing from Taipusi."
Duan Shaoqing immediately stood up: "I have seen His Majesty."
"Duan Shaoqing is free of courtesy." Emperor Xing Yuan looked at Duan Shaoqing, and unconsciously looked carefully, but found that the nephew and uncle had no similarities.
"Miss Kou's father is—"
Duan Shaoqing hurriedly said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, my sister-in-law Kou Tianming, a Jinshi in the fifth year of Xingyuan, was transferred to the prefect of Wanyang four years ago, and unfortunately passed away..."
"I have an impression." Emperor Xingyuan thought of Kou Tianming's appearance, although the impression was not deep, but there was a comparison.
Miss Kou is nothing like her father.
Emperor Xing Yuan realized that something was wrong with him, but he couldn't get rid of his closeness to the girl in front of him.
He has a lot of children, but they all look like his biological mother. Seeing a little girl who is so similar to him, even if he knows that he has nothing to do with him, he can't help but feel good about him.
If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he even wanted to give the little girl a little scorpion to chat with.
Emperor Xingyuan was still rational, and sighed softly: "Kou Qing was able to raise such an outstanding daughter, which shows her character. His untimely death is the loss of Great Xia."
Duan Shaoqing nodded with a smile, secretly waiting for Emperor Xingyuan to praise the Shaoqing Mansion.
Qingqing was still young when she came to the Shaoqing Mansion, so how can she leave the credit of the Shaoqing Mansion for her upbringing?
Unexpectedly, Emperor Xingyuan didn't mean to praise Shaoqing's mansion at all, and his eyes fell back on Xin You's face: "Miss Kou is pure and kind, and she deserves a reward. I will give you a Ruyi jade and a pair of golden hairpins..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone did not dare to look at Emperor Xing Yuan openly, and cast their eyes on Xin You.
50,000 taels of silver was exchanged for so many imperial gifts, Miss Kou really made a profit!
Regrets, a hundred regrets.
Among those who regretted it, He Qingxiao was not included.
He stood in an inconspicuous place, observing Emperor Xing Yuan silently, and easily discovered the abnormality of the emperor.
Is it because of...Miss Kou's looks?
At present, it seems that the emperor has a good impression of Miss Kou because of his resemblance, but this affection is too fragile in front of Miss Kou's secret.
Until now, He Qingxiao still couldn't think of any way for Xin You to get Emperor Xing Yuan to take the initiative to investigate Wanyang's matter, but there was another voice in his heart that made him choose to believe it.
Emperor Xingyuan also knew that his appearance was restrictive, and since he satisfied the curiosity of meeting Miss Kou, it was time to return to the palace.
"Treat everyone well." At this moment, Emperor Xingyuan said the first words to King Xiu since he came in.
Xiu Wang should be respectful and respectful.
Emperor Xing Yuan took another look at Xin You and walked out.
"Farewell to Your Majesty—" the crowd shouted.
After that, many people went to Xinyou with wine glasses.
Xiu Wang said at the right time: "Xiao Wang respects you all."
It was only then that people realized that this was a royal banquet, not a usual drinking party.
"His Royal Highness King Xiu."
Xin You raised his glass and touched his lips, still thinking about the departing Emperor Xing Yuan.
King Xiu kept his eyes on her, and saw that her expression was so calm that it was almost numb, and her eyes were dark and expressionless.
After the banquet was over, the snow still hadn't stopped. King Xiu stepped on the snow to send the guests out, and got a sincere farewell.
Xin You also bid farewell to King Xiu: "Thank you His Royal Highness Xiuwang for your hospitality today."
"It's snowing and the road is slippery, Ms. Kou, be careful." Xiu Wang warned gently.
Xin You bent her knees, turned and walked towards the carriage parked not far away.
Xiao Lian walked beside her, holding up a bamboo umbrella.
King Xiu watched fluffy white snow falling on the distant blue umbrella, and the apricot cloak stretched freely behind the girl, and it was difficult to distinguish his mood for a while.
He Qingxiao's heart skipped a beat.
What does Xiuwang think about Miss Kou?
This guess made him feel cold all over.
He had no position to interfere with Miss Kou's marriage, but when he thought about the possible relationship between King Xiu and Miss Kou, he couldn't calm down.
Seeing that He Qingxiao had stopped, King Xiu bowed his hands politely: "Xiao Wang didn't greet well today, so I'll invite Lord Hou to drink another day."
Because he was not welcomed by Emperor Xingyuan, King Xiu was always humble in front of all officials.
"His Royal Highness Xiu Wang is too polite, it is the minister who invited His Highness." After finishing the scene, He Qingxiao said goodbye and left.
Chariots, horses and sedan chairs left the lotus garden one after another, and it only took a moment from bustling to deserted.
"Lin Hu."
"The little one is here."
King Xiu looked back at the lotus garden, and asked softly: "Is the father very special to Miss Kou?"
His words were inaudible, as if he was speaking to himself.
Xingyuan Emperor returned to the palace, changed his clothes, and also mentioned Miss Kou: "Sun Yan, what do you think when you see Miss Kou?"
The great **** Sun Yan looked up blankly.
What would he think when he saw Miss Kou?
Seeing the seriousness of the emperor, Sun Yan couldn't figure out the holy meaning for a while, and said tentatively: "Miss Kou has a noble appearance and a noble character, which makes people feel happy—"
Emperor Xing Yuan frowned and interrupted Eunuch Sun's nonsense: "Don't you think Miss Kou looks a lot like me?"
