Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1425

Chapter 1425

Shi Anxia compared Ming Zhao's expressions and states in his past and present lives, and found that Ming Zhao in this life was not depressed after being humiliated.

Some expressions can't be hidden.

It was true that the bandits had kidnapped him, and it was also true that he had been missing for a day and a night, but Shi Anxia believed that something must have happened differently in that kidnapping than in the previous life.

Shi Anxia asked tentatively, "You want to ask about the person who saved you?"

Ming Zhao nodded after hearing his thoughts revealed. He took out a portrait from his sleeve and said, "Princess, do you know this person? He said he is from the capital."

Shi Anxia looked up at the person in the portrait. Not only did she recognize him, she knew him very well. She couldn't help but frown, "What if I know him well? What if I don't know him well?"

Ming Zhao lowered his eyes and blushed, "I just wanted to thank him in person."

Shi Anxia smiled and asked mischievously, "Just to say thank you?"

Ming Zhao quickly put away the portrait. "Of course, I just want to say thank you. No, what else is there?"

At that time, Anxia looked carefully and clearly.

But this girl had delicate features, clean but shrewd, not the kind of noble lady raised in a noble family in the capital. And because she had been following merchants since she was young, she had accumulated wisdom that was inconsistent with her age.

If this girl had not taken the lead in the previous life, the Ming family would have been eaten to the bone, and how could they have worked for the country later?

Shi Anxia said in a gentle voice, "This man is Ma Chuyi, the new chief of the Eastern Feather Guard, and the son of General Ma Liyang, the general of Huai'an. He is known as 'Little General Ma'."

Ming Zhao's face turned slightly pale when he heard this.

Is your family background so prominent?

Shi Anxia knew she wanted to hear more, so she said more, "He grew up at the border with General Ma since he was a child. Later, General Ma was transferred to another place, but left his son to hone his skills on his own. Ma Chuyi was only twelve years old at that time. He entered the capital last year and is now a favorite of the emperor."

Ming Zhao stopped thinking after hearing this. "Thank you, Princess, for clearing up my doubts. I don't have any other thoughts. I just want to say thank you."

Even the "face to face" is omitted.

Shi Anxia smiled, "Actually, he is in Jiangcheng right now, assisting the prefect in handling a case. If you want to thank him, you should have the chance."

She didn't want to arrange a marriage, but she was willing to provide the two with a chance. Whether it would succeed or not was up to fate. If the flower was willing but the water was ruthless, wouldn't it just add to the troubles?

Perhaps hearing her inner voice, Cen Yuan came in from outside, "Xia'er, I'm going out for a while. Ma Chuyi sent me a letter saying there's something urgent."

Shi Anxia's eyes lit up, "Why don't you invite him to your house for a gathering? Have a reception for Eunuch Qi in the evening, and ask Ma Chuyi to come as well."

Cen Yuan looked at Ming Zhao who was lowering her head. The girl's ears were red. Seeing that his wife was more enthusiastic towards Ma Chuyi than ever before, what was there for him to not understand?

In the past, Ma Chuyi sometimes came to the young master's house two or three times a day, but he had never seen the lady invite him to have a meal.

He laughed dumbly, "Okay."

Cen Yuan never thought that Ma Chuyi came to him to find out Ming Zhao's feelings.

The two met in a nearby teahouse, sitting by the window. There was no one around, so it was quiet.

Ma Chuyi got straight to the point, "My Lord, please ask the girl from the Ming family for me. If she is interested, I will write a letter and ask my mother to send someone to propose marriage. If the girl is not interested... then forget it."

So casual? Cen Yuan hesitated for a moment, "What happened between you and Ming Zhao?"

Ma Chuyi did not hide it from him.

It turned out that he had escorted Lord Wu to Muzhou to take up his post that day. On the way, they encountered a group of bandits in Chongshan, Tonghuai County, who intended to humiliate the girl.
