Feng Qiao poured the tea into the cup: "The marriage given by His Majesty is not for me to refuse." ”

"Is it really impossible to refuse?"

Xiao Minyuan squinted at her slightly when he heard this, as if he wanted to see her in the bottom of his heart: "The cause of this matter is all in the Chen family, if it weren't for Queen Chen's first rumor in the palace that Lord Feng wanted to choose a son-in-law for you, and the people you value are all powerful people in Beijing, and those people are related to the prince of the court, your father will not suddenly assign you a marriage." ”

"If you really don't want to marry, I think you and Lord Feng should have a way to refuse, as long as you can implicate this matter with Empress Chen, and let your father think that Liao Chuxiu and the Chen family have already joined forces, and want to use you to enter the mansion to force Lord Feng to compromise, then my father will definitely take back his fate, and he will never watch Lord Feng throw his weakness into the hands of others like this, and be restrained everywhere in the future. ”

Feng Qiao listened to Xiao Minyuan's words, and his hand paused slightly, so he directly handed him the tea: "What the prince said is indeed a way, but if we do this, we will completely turn against the eldest prince and the Chen family, and we will also be enemies of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion." ”

Xiao Minyuan didn't take the tea: "I think Lord Feng is willing to be the enemy of the world for you, just like you and me at the beginning." What's more, the matter of Liu Huiru in Jiyun Temple, didn't you already tear your face with the eldest prince?"

Feng Qiao saw that he didn't accept the tea, so he directly took back the water and put it in front of him, and then sat back at the table and said lightly: "I'm afraid that the prince has misunderstood, the matter of the Liu family, I just happened to meet it, how did you tear your face and say it?"

"As for the marriage ......"

Feng Qiao took a sip of tea, and after letting the fragrance of tea with a bit of a sense of coldness go down his throat, he said lightly: "This time, my father and I can indeed find a way to refuse this matter, but what about next time?"

"With my father's status in the court, my marriage can't be controlled by myself at all, although the Marquis of Zhenyuan has some dislikes, but he can be casually pointed out to a gentleman who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, or a talented man who has no family background and is short of breath, and the Marquis of Zhenyuan is undoubtedly a very good candidate. ”

"I escaped this time, the next time may not be able to compare to him, I can't every time Your Majesty gives marriage, my father has tried his best to destroy it, then with Your Majesty's suspicion, I'm afraid that if it doesn't happen twice, I will suspect that my father is suspicious of him, and then the prince thinks, what will happen to me and my father?"

Xiao Minyuan's eyes showed a little gloom when he heard this: "You can be talented, are you really willing to succumb to the back house?"

Feng Qiao looked at Xiao Minyuan a little strangely: "The prince thinks, if I don't live in the back house, where can I go, is it possible that I can still go to the court as a woman?"

"Why not?"

Xiao Min said loudly from afar: "If I am the emperor, there will be a place for you in the court." ”

Feng Qiao was slightly stunned when she heard this, this stunned was not like she pretended to be before, but she was really stunned by Xiao Minyuan's sudden words, she didn't expect Xiao Minyuan to say such a thing, and her expression was still so serious.

Feng Qiao looked at him sideways for a moment, and chuckled: "In order to achieve his goal, the prince is really willing to pay for it." ”

Women are officials, it is not nothing, before the first dynasty was replaced by Dayan, there was the Empress Dowager Yu who listened to the government, and there were even women standing in the court.

Feng Qiao had read some miscellaneous records of the previous dynasties before, and had seen the heroic posture of those women stirring up the situation in the court, she did think that those women lived wonderfully, and she also felt that that kind of life made people's blood boil when they heard it, but for herself, she didn't yearn for that kind of life at all.

In the previous life, although she was trapped in the Sifang Building, she could be regarded as knowing the affairs of the world, and she could also use the power of the Sifang Building to stir up the situation.

If it weren't for the environment, she would rather not care about anything, ask nothing, and just live her leisurely life with peace of mind.

Xiao Minyuan's face sank when he heard this: "What I said is true, Feng Qiao, your scheming methods, intelligence and mind are not what ordinary women should have, you are also an ambitious person, I don't believe that you are really willing to live in the back house and do the things of husband and child." ”

Feng Qiao couldn't help but laugh when he heard Xiao Minyuan's words.

She didn't know how Xiao Minyuan saw that she was ambitious, but she really had no interest in being what he called "a national scholar".

Not only because she is unwilling, but also because she understands herself very well, she is too selfish, and she always cares about the people she should care about, and she can cross the line for selfishness.

If a person like her enters the court, if she is carefree in her life and does not encounter great difficulties, she will not be able to be the master of the sky for a few days, but if she meets the world and the people around her one day and has to choose, I am afraid that nine times out of ten she will become a minister with selfish intentions.

"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Minyuan said in a deep voice.

"It's nothing, I just think the prince thinks too highly of me. ”

After Feng Qiao finished speaking with a smile, seeing that Xiao Minyuan still wanted to speak, she couldn't help but smile and said: "And the prince is afraid that he has forgotten that when Emperor Taizu changed the dynasty and established Dayan, the first holy precept he set was that foreign dependents are not allowed to enter the court as officials, otherwise they will be regarded as demons and punished by the nine clans." ”

"The harem concubines are not allowed to interfere in politics, and if the emperor connives, the concubines can be abolished by the auxiliary ministers and the royal family. ”

She poured a new cup of tea and handed it to Xiao Minyuan: "Although Emperor Taizu is no longer there, the rules he has set are ironclad, and even His Majesty will not be easily offended. The prince is still just the prince now, if people know that you have such a mind, let alone the throne, just disrespecting the grandfather is enough to make the prince unable to turn over. ”

"If the prince ascends the throne, it's okay to change the rules, but before he ascends the throne, don't say this, otherwise others will listen to it and harm others and yourself. ”

Xiao Minyuan choked when he heard Feng Qiao's words, looked at Feng Qiao for a while, and directly took the tea and poured it into his mouth, but then it was hot and almost squirted out.

He squatted the teacup on the table with a stiff face, and when he was looked at by the girl opposite in surprise, he couldn't do the embarrassing thing of waiting for the water spray on the spot, so he could only swallow the tea in his mouth with the burning sensation, and then he only felt that his throat was burning and hurting.

When Feng Qiao saw Xiao Minyuan drinking tea, he was about to tell him that his mouth was hot, but it could be seen that his face did not change after he drank it all in one gulp, and he immediately felt that this King Xiang was afraid that he was different from ordinary people.

She took the teapot and added another cup for him, and Xiao Min shuddered when he saw this.

When he spoke again, his voice was a little hoarse, Xiao Minyuan coughed twice, and finally suppressed the discomfort in his throat and said: "Since you don't want to, I don't force it, everyone has their own ambitions, but since you are willing to come to see me today, you should know my purpose." ”

"I show it with sincerity, and everything in the past can be written off like that broken jade. Feng Qiao, what do you think?"
