How could my childhood sweetheart be the current empress?

Xu Xiqian pressed her little face tightly into his arms and spoke to him from the bottom of her heart.

Huang Qiumei, who was standing by, was touched by their feelings and turned around to secretly wipe the little pearls from the corners of her eyes.

Xu Cheng was really annoyed. He had just appeased one person, and now another one came.

But she is Qian'er after all. She never hides her feelings and shows her true love to him. How can he not cherish such a simple girl?

He patted Xu Xiqian's back gently and comforted her in a gentle voice:

"Qian'er, I promise you that I will come to see you more often in the future."

With Xu Chengling's comfort, Xu Xiqian's emotions gradually stabilized.

Xu Xiqian raised her head, her bright eyes were swollen from crying. She stared at Xu Chengling's face and said to him in a choked voice:

"Brother Xu, just focus on your own things and don't worry about Qian'er. Qian'er will study hard here and will be able to help you in the future."

Xu Chengling couldn't help but feel touched that she cared so much about him.

"Just don't forget our agreement, Brother Xu."

Xu Xiqian spoke to him again.

"Well, I won't forget that promise."

Xu Chengling nodded. He already understood Qian'er's feelings for him, so he would not choose to escape.

Their agreement was that after Xu Xiqian finished her studies at the Imperial College, she would stay with him forever.

In other words, it actually means that you are engaged.

With Xu Chengling's kiss on New Year's Eve, the two crossed the line between siblings and became lovers.

The two hadn't seen each other for nearly a year, and Xu Xiqian's feelings for Xu Chengling had already brewed to the extreme, and now she needed an opening to release them.

Then she suddenly raised her head, gently grasped Xu Chengling's face with her two slender hands, and kissed his lips.

"Ah! Kiss... kiss!"

Huang Qiumei, who was standing by, blushed when she saw this scene and jumped up on the spot.

He... Aren't they brother and sister? But I didn't expect that they would have this kind of relationship!!!

For some reason, Huang Qiumei couldn't help feeling a little lost when she saw the two people kissing each other.

Xu Chengling and Xu Xiqian hugged each other. He didn't expect that this girl would suddenly kiss him. He was hooked by her enthusiasm. He kissed her, intertwined their tongues, and made his heart known to her.

It was not until a long time later that the two reluctantly let go of each other.

Xu Chengling lowered his head and saw a faint drooling look at the corner of Xu Xiqian's mouth. Her little face was flushed, which made her look a little sexy.

So he reached out and wiped the corner of her mouth.

Xu Xiqian's pretty face flushed red, and she stretched out her little hand to help him wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth. The two looked at each other and then laughed again.

Only Huang Qiumei was standing aside, and she felt as if she was completely redundant.

At this moment, she couldn't help but shout in her heart:

"Woo woo, you can't kill a dog like this!"

Chapter 289 I Want Her to Try It On

Xu Xiqian held Xu Chengling's hand, and the two walked along the lakeside of the Imperial College.

Behind the two men, a short-haired girl was following them stealthily, hiding here and there, thinking that she had not been discovered.

In fact, they had already discovered Huang Qiumei, but they were just too lazy to care about her.

Originally, Xu Chengling came to the Imperial College to teach for a day, but he was really not suitable for teaching and was afraid of misleading the students, so he wandered around the Imperial College and spent more time with Xu Xiqian.

As he was walking, Xu Chengling suddenly stopped and turned around.

Seeing him behind her, the girl following behind hurriedly looked for a place to hide, but there was no place to hide where she was.

So she simply covered her eyes with her hands and muttered:

"You can't see me. You can't see me."

But her spell did not work. Xu Chengling walked up to her and said to her:

"You are Qian'er's friend, right? I'm sorry for what happened just now. Let me introduce myself to you again. My name is Xu Chengling, and I'm Qian'er's brother."

When Xu Chengling suddenly spoke to her, the girl named Huang Qiumei blushed and said shyly:

"Hello, Mr. Xu... Mr. Xu. What happened just now is all my fault. I misunderstood you because I didn't ask clearly."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but muster up her courage, staring at the man in front of her and said:

"Well, my name is Huang Qiumei, and I'm Xiaoqian's good friend."

"Hello, Miss Huang, thank you for protecting Qian'er and keeping her from being bullied here."

Xu Chengling smiled slightly and greeted Xu Xiqian's best friend.

"No, Xiaoqian is a very nice person, and she took good care of me."

Huang Qiumei said shyly, placing one hand on the arm of the other.

The misunderstanding between the two was resolved, and Xu Chengling invited her to sit in a pavilion together.

After the two girls sat down, their eyes were fixed on Xu Chengling, staring at him.

After a long time, Huang Qiumei looked towards Xu Chengling and said shyly:

"Well, Master Xu, I often heard Xiaoqian mention you. She said you were a very powerful person. Now I see with my own eyes that you are indeed very powerful."

This was the first time Huang Qiumei was defeated in her life. She didn't like those skinny scholars. She liked men who were stronger than herself.

Xu Chengling perfectly matched her preferences in terms of both appearance and ability, and she was even thinking of asking her father to go to the Xiangguo Mansion to propose marriage.

"Brother Xu is of course very powerful."

Xu Xiqian couldn't help but put her hand on Xu Chengling's arm and said.

Seeing this, Huang Qiumei, who was standing by, also put her arm around Xu Chengling's other arm and hugged him from both sides.

"By the way, Brother Xu, how is Sister Yan now?"

At this time, Xu Xiqian asked about some things at home.

"She's doing fine now, but she's usually quite busy. The Xiangguo Mansion is well managed by her."

Xu Chengling replied calmly.

"Sister Yan, is she Xiaoqian your sister?"

Huang Qiumei couldn't help but ask curiously. She had never heard Xiaoqian mention that she had a sister.

"Haha, Xiaomei, Sister Yan is not my sister, she is Brother Xu's wife."

Xu Xiqian couldn't help but smile and answered her.

"What! Wife!"

Hearing this answer, Huang Qiumei couldn't help but stand there in a daze, her heart instantly sank.

She didn't expect that Xu Chengling was already married and had a wife, so she had no chance.

At this time, Xu Xiqian continued to say to her best friend:

"Sister Yan is amazing. She is proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is also very good at managing things. The entire Xiangguo Mansion is managed in an orderly manner by Sister Yan."

"Take care of the entire Xiangguo Mansion...isn't that the responsibility of the head of the family?"

"Yes, Brother Xu is the head of the family, and Sister Yan is the head of the head of the family, so there is no problem for her to manage the Xiangguo Mansion."

"Wait, wait a minute, Xiangguo Mansion, the head of the family, could it be that your brother Xu is..."

Huang Qiumei couldn't help but widen her pupils, looking at the young man in front of her in disbelief. She had heard from her father that the current prime minister of Dayan was very young.

Could it be that the young man in front of me is... the Prime Minister? ! ! !

Xu Xiqian smiled slightly, nodded and replied:

"Yes, Brother Xu is now the Prime Minister of Dayan, so I said he is usually very busy. Isn't it amazing?"

"It's more than amazing, it's simply too amazing!"

Huang Qiumei couldn't help but open her mouth wide and almost lost her teeth in shock.

Her father was the Minister of War, a third-rank official, but the man in front of her was even more powerful. He was the prime minister of a country, an official of the first rank second only to the emperor.

Then his wife must be the current empress’s biological sister!

Thinking of this, Huang Qiumei suddenly deflated like a deflated balloon. It was absolutely impossible to compete with the empress's own sister for a man.

Huang Qiumei looked at the man in front of her with an easy-going smile again, and only then did she realize that he was the man she could never get.

So, her love affair ended before it even began.

……

After spending a day with Xu Xiqian, it was getting dark and it was time for Xu Chengling to leave.

"Brother Xu, goodbye."

Xu Xiqian waved to him and watched him leave.

Only after Xu Chengling left did Xu Xiqian turn around, throw herself into Huang Qiumei's arms and cry.

"Xiao Qian, don't cry. At least you can still be with him. This is good enough."

Huang Qiumei patted her on the back and kept comforting her.

She knew why Xu Xiqian loved this man so deeply. Which girl would not like a man who had status and power, was very young and handsome?

But Huang Qiumei understood one thing: she was totally unworthy of such an outstanding man.

However, she is not someone who will give up easily. Since she is not worthy of him now, she will work hard to become better until she is worthy of him.

Xu Chengling would never know what she was thinking.

After leaving the Imperial College, Tongxin came personally to pick him up and take him back.

"Master, you've worked hard today, let's go home."

Before, she came to take her master back to his home, but from now on, it would be their home.

On the way back, Xu Chengling suddenly said:

"Tong'er, come with me to Liuyunfang."

After saying that, he took Tongxin's hand and came to the nearby Liuyunfang, where they happened to pass by.

The female shopkeeper of Liuyunfang quickly recognized Xu Chengling's identity and greeted him with a smile.

"Shopkeeper, is the wedding dress ready?"

Xu Chengling asked the female shopkeeper that he had asked Liuyunfang to make a red wedding dress, and it had been almost half a month.

"Sir, the wedding dress is almost done. It still needs some decorations, so it may take a few more days."

The female shopkeeper and Xu Chengling explained that the wedding dress was already ready, and now all that was missing was the jewelry decoration on it.

Xu Chengling required the best fabrics and the highest quality. Several craftsmen from Liuyunfang worked overtime every day and spent half a month on the project. There were still ten days left before the delivery date, which was plenty of time.

"Okay, you guys continue to work on it. Don't skimp on the ingredients, but I have a request now."

Xu Chengling couldn't help but speak, and then he looked at Tong Xin beside him and said to the female shopkeeper in front of him:

"I want her to try it on first."

Chapter 290: Her Beauty Exists Only for You (Part 5)

The female shopkeeper looked at the woman next to Xu Chengling. She had a keen eye and could tell at a glance that the woman's size was an exact match for the wedding dress.

It seems that the bride the other party is going to marry is the woman in tight clothes next to him.

I have to say that the bride has a very beautiful appearance, fair skin and a slender figure. One can imagine how beautiful she will be when she puts on her wedding dress.
