How could my childhood sweetheart be the current empress?

"Is this ring...given to me?"

Xue Yuan looked at the glass ring on her hand, her pretty face a little at a loss for a moment.

It was the first time she had heard of such a thing as a ring, but the glass gem on it must be very precious and could be worn on a finger.

For some reason, looking at the ring, Xue Yuan's chest couldn't help but pound, and she felt an indescribable complex emotion.

Xu Chengling nodded, and saw Xue Yuan raising her slender hand, her eyes shining, and constantly looking at the ring in her hand, like a little girl who got her favorite toy, the more she looked at it, the happier she became.

"Well, it's for you, and the ring has another meaning."

"Does the ring have any meaning?"

"Well, in a faraway country I know, rings have different meanings when worn on different fingers."

Xu Chengling gently held Xue Yuan's wrist with his hand. She resisted a little, her pretty face blushed slightly, and then she let him hold it.

"When a ring is worn on the thumb, it represents power, and when it is worn on the index finger, it means that the wearer is currently single."

When Xue Yuan heard this, she looked at her own slender hand again. The ring was right on her index finger, which meant she was still single.

Only then did she realize that Xu Chengling had already thought of this when he put the ring on her finger.

So she couldn't help but ask curiously:

"What about wearing it on other fingers?"

Xu Chengling gently grasped Xue Yuan's slender fingers, placed his hand on her middle finger, and said with a smile:

"If you wear it on your middle finger, it means you have found someone. If you wear it on your ring finger, it means you are married. If you wear it on your little finger, it means you have decided to be single for the rest of your life."

After listening to Xu Chengling's explanation, Xue Yuan looked at the ring on her index finger again and asked thoughtfully:

"If I change my mind later, can I wear it on another finger?"

"Of course, if you already have a loved one, you can also wear the ring on your middle finger."

"It might be better to wear it on the middle finger."

Xue Yuan thought about it, then took off the ring and put it on her slender middle finger. She looked at it several times and the more she looked at it, the more she felt it fit.

"Ms. Xue Yuan, do you already have someone in your heart?"

Seeing this, Xu Chengling couldn't help but ask in surprise.

After his explanation just now, Xue Yuan should have understood the meaning of wearing rings on different fingers.

Does the fact that she wears the ring on her hand mean that she already has someone she loves in her heart?

In response to his question, Xue Yuan turned around, looked back and smiled slightly, and said:

"Haha, I just think it looks better on the middle finger, I don't have any other ideas."

After saying that, she ran away with a look of smug joy on her face, leaving Xu Chengling in a daze.

Xu Chengling couldn't help but laugh. It turned out that she just thought it fit her and didn't have any other thoughts.

That's true. Dayan doesn't have rings, so if you just treat it as a decoration, you can wear it however you want.

In fact, Xu Chengling had an idea, which was to find a real diamond.

He wants to give this diamond ring to his dearest person, his wife.

However, he searched the entire Dayan and found no trace of the diamond. Perhaps Dayan did not have diamonds.

I can only say that this is a very regrettable thing.

……

After that, Xu Chengling taught the glass-making technology to the people of Qingshan Town.

Xue Yuan was against it at first, but after getting the glass ring, she was able to accept it in her heart.

Xu Chengling took out his order of prime minister and controlled all the official kilns in Qingshan Town in one fell swoop.

Under his instructions, most of the official kilns in Qingshan Town began to produce glass, and soon a batch of high-quality glass was produced from the official kilns.

The first batch of glass produced in Qingshan Town was all sold to the Western Regions at high prices. A small amount of high-quality glass produced by the official kilns was put up for auction and sold to dignitaries at high prices.

After this trip, Xu Chengling made a fortune.

As the saying goes, when one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

The people of Qingshan Town also benefited greatly from it and got rid of the trouble of poverty in one fell swoop.

Xu Chengling, who made the production process public, naturally became a hero in the eyes of the people of Qingshan Town.

For this reason, Qingshan Town also built a statue for him, and his appearance changed the entire appearance of Qingshan Town.

From then on, Qingshan Town had another title, that is, the hometown of glass.

……

After staying in Qingshan Town for a while, Xu Chengling set off and left.

Before leaving, the people of Qingshan Town came out to bid farewell to him warmly.

After leaving Qingshan Town, Xue Yuan changed her previous country girl look and turned into that handsome short-haired young lady again.

The only difference was that she was wearing an extra crystal clear ring on her hand.

The time they had together also allowed her to get to know Xu Chengling better, and her state of mind gradually changed.

He is not after money, fame or fortune, but only wants to benefit the people and has the world in his heart.

If it is in this person's hands, Dayan's future will definitely get better and better.

Xue Yuan firmly believed this in her heart.

If he needs her own strength, she will use her own hands to achieve his dreams.

Under Xue Yuan's escort, the two returned to the capital.

"Master Xiangguo, I will take you here. I want to go back now."

At a fork in the road, Xue Yuan stopped and spoke to the man in front of her with a reluctant look.

"Well, thank you for this period of time, Miss Xueyuan."

Xu Chengling thanked her and said that she had helped him a lot during this period.

"Haha, didn't the Prime Minister also give me a ring?"

Xue Yuan raised her slender hand wearing a ring and gave him a crescent-shaped smile.

The time they spent together was also very meaningful to her. They worked hard together, failed together, and then shared the joy of success together.

Most importantly, she finally figured out the true thoughts of Prime Minister Xu.

Moreover, the ring he gave her was very valuable, so she had to keep it well.

Xue Yuan raised her beautiful eyes, looked at the young man in front of her, and then she made a decision.

She couldn't help but walk forward, standing on tiptoe, and under Xu Chengling's shocked gaze, she left a soft touch on his face.

The next moment, she quickly turned around and hid her pretty red face.

"Then let's say goodbye."

After leaving these words, Xue Yuan left here as if escaping.

Looking at Xue Yuan's departing figure, Xu Chengling couldn't help but touch the face that she had touched. For some reason, he couldn't help feeling empty in his heart.

After all, I have been with her all this time, and now we are suddenly separated, I feel a little reluctant to leave her.

But she is the empress's personal guard, and there will always be a chance to meet her again in the future.

After saying goodbye to Xue Yuan, Xu Chengling walked straight towards the Xiangguo Mansion.

Xu Chengling was walking on the streets of the capital when a white figure in front of him caught his attention.

But the next moment, there was a loud noise coming from the front.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

I saw a carriage suddenly lose control on the street, and passers-by around it hurriedly made way.

Only the white figure remained there as if nothing had happened.

It seemed that she was about to become a ghost under the horse's hooves.

Chapter 206: Let's Make a Bet with You

"Danger!"

At this critical moment, Xu Chengling stepped lightly and rushed to the front of the woman in white in one step.

He stretched out a big hand, hugged the other person's slender waist, and at the moment when the horse's hoof was about to fall, he took her and dodged to the side.

Soon, the out-of-control carriage was controlled by the Heavenly Supervisor, and the mad horse was killed on the spot.

After a while, a gentle voice slowly sounded and said to him:

"Can you let me go now?"

"Oh well."

At this time, Xu Chengling realized that he had been hugging the other person's waist, so he let go.

He looked closely and saw that the woman in white was wearing a veil, had a slim figure and long black hair.

But her most obvious feature is the red birthmark on the right side of her cheek, which cannot be completely covered even with a veil.

"Miss Sun, why are you here?"

Xu Chengling recognized the other person at a glance. This person was none other than Sun Yuyi, the military advisor of Prince Jing's Mansion.

"Long time no see, Mr. Xu."

Sun Yuyi bowed slightly and greeted him.

"Why didn't you get out of the way just now? It was too dangerous. If I hadn't saved you just now, you might have been in trouble."

Xu Chengling asked her in some confusion, why didn't she dodge just now, was she scared silly?

But Sun Yuyi's answer was a little beyond his expectations.

"Because I know that Master Xu will definitely save me."

Sun Yuyi said with a slight smile, and there didn't seem to be a trace of panic on her face.

"You knew I was nearby?"

Xu Chengling asked in surprise.

Sun Yuyi shook his head and said calmly:

"No, I just had a feeling that you would help, and in fact, you did save me."

Seeing Sun Yuyi's confident look, Xu Chengling suddenly felt a little unhappy.

After all, he was her savior, but her attitude was a bit arrogant, as if the one who saved her was not someone else but herself.

But in fact, if he had not taken action just now, Sun Yuyi would have been trampled to death by the horse's hooves.

"No matter what, I am your savior. Don't you even want to say thank you?"

Xu Chengling couldn't help but frown and looked at the woman in white in front of him.

"Thank you, Master Xu. If you hadn't helped me just now, I would have been in danger."

Sun Yuyi thanked him immediately, but there was no sincerity in her words, as if she was just saying it for the sake of saying it.

Therefore, Xu Chengling usually keeps his distance from such self-righteous women.

Since he had already saved her, there was no need for Xu Chengling to stay here any longer. He said goodbye to her and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, Sun Yuyi stopped him, hesitated for a while, and said:

"Mr. Xu, would you like to come to my house?"

Xu Chengling thought about it and couldn't help but smiled and replied to her:
