Chapter 499: The Temptation of the Future Father-in-law
Jiang Yuetang resumed his speech function the next morning, when Jiang Chuanxiong and Xiao Diyuan were sitting in the carriage rushing to the scene of Jiang Yuetang's poisoning needle.
The two sat opposite each other and didn't speak at first, but the atmosphere was not awkward.
After pondering for a long time, Jiang Chuanxiong finally asked the sentence he wanted to ask a long time ago: "Second Highness, why are you so good to the Moon Court? It stands to reason that as the prince of a country, there is no need for you to take such a big risk to establish friendship with 'him'. ”
Is it really for the sake of appreciation and liking, or is it for another purpose?
Xiao Diyuan also looked at Jiang Chuanxiong and said respectfully: "There are a few words I planned to wait for 'him' to be a few years older before telling you, but now that you ask, I will answer you honestly - I like 'him'." ”
Jiang Chuanxiong looked at Xiao Diyuan with a stunned expression.
Xiao Diyuan pressed his hand lightly on Jiang Chuanxiong's hand, looked at him honestly and said: "The first time I saw 'him', I knew that there would be a story between me and 'him', at that time I didn't know that 'he' was actually a woman, but that didn't prevent me from liking 'him' in my own way, and later, I learned the true identity of 'him', I was ecstatic, we met for less than a year and had a private engagement for life." ”
Jiang Chuanxiong's expression suddenly changed from stunned to annoyed, but he still tried his best to restrain his emotions and said: "Second Highness, you should know that intermarriage is not allowed between the two countries, why .......?"
"I will work with her to overturn this system. Xiao Diyuan said.
Jiang Chuanxiong looked at him and said very seriously: "Although the system of prohibiting intermarriage between the two countries also has its shortcomings, it is still good from the general direction, at least it controls the turmoil between countries to the greatest extent. The kings of both countries had carefully calculated the pros and cons of this policy, which had been in place for nearly 50 years, and which had long been approved by both countries, and would not be easy to overturn. ”
Xiao Diyuan was still inconvenient to explain some things to Jiang Chuanxiong too clearly, so he replied with a smile: "If the situation between the two countries changes, it is not impossible for this system to be overthrown. Then he solemnly said: "Everyone in the world is brothers and sisters, and loving a person is not limited by national borders, and the prohibition of transnational marriage is obviously not in line with human nature, and it will be overturned sooner or later." ”
Jiang Chuanxiong deliberately embarrassed him, so he continued to analyze calmly: "If a matter rises to the point of national security, it should be prohibited or restricted by law, even if it has some minor drawbacks, I think most people can understand, and since there are only a few people who oppose it, then the kings of the two countries will definitely not be willing to make adjustments to this matter." ”
"Moreover," Jiang Chuanxiong continued, "whose parents would want to watch their daughter marry into a strange country with no relatives?"
Xiao Diyuan smiled and said, "Lord Jiang has neglected one thing-what if the woman is willing and the man is willing to be good to her for the rest of his life?"
Jiang Chuanxiong smiled and said, "If the policy doesn't allow it, no matter how willing you are, you can't do it, right?"
Xiao Diyuan looked at Jiang Chuanxiong and said, "What if the woman is Yuetang?"
Jiang Chuanxiong said: "I will not allow her to do anything that violates national policy." ”
"What if one day we overturn this policy?" Mr. Hsiao asked.
"Then let's wait until that day. ”
Xiao Diyuan looked at him and said, "Then Master Jiang just wait and see, I won't let you down." ”
Jiang Chuanxiong suddenly didn't know what to say, and after thinking about it again, he stared at Xiao Diyuan and asked, "Do you really like Yuetang?"
Xiao Diyuan nodded without hesitation.
Jiang Chuanxiong smiled slightly and said, "She is now alive as her brother, and it will be very difficult to recover her identity in the future, and it is basically impossible for you to be together in the name of righteousness." ”
"You promised to help her recover as a daughter when she grows up. Xiao Diyuan said.
It seems that Jiang Yuetang had told Xiao Diyuan about this, and Jiang Chuanxiong was suddenly a little embarrassed.
"Indeed, I said so, but it's hard to say whether I can get my wish now, what if it won't be easy to recover in the first session?" Jiang Chuanxiong deliberately embarrassed him again.
Xiao Diyuan heard his intentions and replied calmly: "Then I will help her at that time." ”
Jiang Chuanxiong stared at Xiao Diyuan for a long time, and said, "Even if I can understand your sincerity, have you ever thought about the reactions of your father and queen mother and the restrictions of Shuguo's policies?"
In the depths of Jiang Chuanxiong's heart, he actually hoped that Jiang Yuetang could be with Xiao Diyuan, but he knew the cruelty of reality better and knew that it was not easy for them to really be together, so he decided to tell Xiao Diyuan about the resistance between these countries, and by the way, he tried to test how deep Xiao Diyuan's affection for Jiang Yuetang was.
"As long as the new system comes out, none of this is a problem. Xiao Diyuan replied calmly.
Jiang Chuanxiong vaguely heard the meaning of the words, and hurriedly asked: "Are you going to ......?"
Xiao Diyuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Jiang, I know how to measure, everything will be reasonable and proper." ”
Jiang Chuanxiong nodded and said, "Second Highness, I don't hide it, I once guessed that you may be the third highness of our Zhao Kingdom." ”
Xiao Diyuan was stunned and said, "Really?"
Jiang Chuanxiong said: "This speculation is not completely unfounded. ”
After that, Jiang Chuanxiong told him about Li Yun, the third prince of Zhaoguo, when he was a child, including the part where Li Yun was eaten by a wild wolf.
What Jiang Chuanxiong said was similar to what the Empress Dowager and Emperor Zhaoguo said, but Xiao Diyuan still listened extremely seriously.
After listening, Xiao Diyuan was silent for a moment, and then said, "Thank you for telling me this." ”
Jiang Chuanxiong took advantage of the situation and asked, "Have you ever doubted your own background?"
Xiao Diyuan asked rhetorically: "Could it be that Lord Jiang thinks that I am the third prince of Zhaoguo?"
Jiang Chuanxiong hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, I'm just guessing." ”
"Please don't speculate too much on this kind of unfounded thing, so as not to cause you trouble. ”
Jiang Chuanxiong hesitated for a moment before nodding.
Then Jiang Chuanxiong changed the topic and asked, "You and Yuetang ...... When is it privately decided for life?"
There was some displeasure in his tone, but he was happy in his heart.
Xiao Diyuan told him roughly, and after finishing speaking, he arched his hand to Jiang Chuanxiong and said: "This matter should have been with you first, but we made our own decisions, I'm sorry!"
His and Jiang Yuetang's identities are so sensitive, of course he can't explicitly propose marriage to Jiang Chuanxiong from the beginning, otherwise Jiang Chuanxiong will categorically reject nine times out of ten, in that case, there will be no way to continue at all.
But now that he has said it, it seems to be very difficult for Jiang Chuanxiong to do.
Xiao Diyuan waited for Jiang Chuanxiong's response with a respectful attitude.
Jiang Chuanxiong was silent for a long time before looking at Xiao Diyuan and said quietly: "Second Highness, do you want to hear my true words?"
Xiao Diyuan hurriedly said: "Of course." ”

Dear friends, a watch is coming.
