After leaving the Taiji Palace, Cheng Jinzhi didn't know how he walked to Guangling Palace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

All she knew was that every step she took felt like she was floating above the clouds, so light that she could barely feel the weight of her body.

Gao Xun beside him chattered a lot, even though he knew that he was out of concern and comfort, but he still didn't listen to a word, and he didn't bother to answer.

Of course, the reason why she is so depressed is not because of Emperor Zhou's pretentious reprimand for "accidentally" spilling wine on her in the main hall, nor is it because Princess Nanchu openly coveted her husband in front of people.

She was just afraid, afraid that she really couldn't do anything this time, and could only watch her husband marry another woman.

At the welcome ceremony, in front of the two Chu people, although Emperor Zhou had not yet made a decision, after the ceremony, he summoned Gao Heng to the imperial study alone, and did not call her to go with him.

How could she not know that Emperor Zhou deliberately avoided herself, precisely to persuade Gao Heng to marry Princess Nanchu as his wife.

She had never doubted Gao Heng's sincerity, especially when she heard him say that decisive and decisive affectionate words in front of everyone in the main hall, Cheng Jinzhi was indeed both relieved and moved, almost with tears in his eyes.

But because of this, she is even more reluctant to let anyone interfere and disturb her and Gao Heng's originally happy and sweet life.

Especially such a woman who tries to destroy her happiness, has a strong personality and is scheming.

But there is a saying since ancient times that the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die.

After all, Emperor Zhou is the king, Gao Heng is the minister, if Emperor Zhou insists on asking him to marry the princess of Nanchu, will he really resist the decree and disobey the order, regardless of the peace between the two countries, and become an enemy of his father?

Even if he insisted on doing so, Cheng Jinzhi was unwilling to let Gao Heng offend Emperor Zhou for his own sake.

He has endured many hardships and dangers over the years to have today's reputation and status, and he must not fall short at this time.

"Cheng Jinzhi, aren't you usually the most eccentric? It's rare to see you in this palace looking preoccupied, it seems that the Princess Nanchu incident has hit you very hard. ”

Just as Cheng Jinzhi lowered his eyes and walked through the corridor next to the Imperial Garden with Gao Heng to go to Guangling Palace, a voice suddenly sounded in her ears that made her annoying and familiar.

She also immediately realized in her heart that the owner of this voice was one of the faces she least wanted to see, that is, the crown prince Gao Chen.

"Brother Huang, you have a lot of opportunities, why don't you accompany your father and the emperor to give him advice, what are you doing in this garden?"

Gao Xun saw that the prince suddenly appeared in front of him, and he had a smile on his face, and at a glance, he knew that he had come to find fault with him, so he hurriedly pulled out in front of Cheng Jinzhi, not wanting her to be disturbed.

"As the crown prince, Bengong naturally goes wherever he wants, when will it be your turn?"

The crown prince glanced at Gao Xun coldly, and then deliberately raised his voice, and a sly smile appeared on his lips.

"Sixth brother, you don't have to marry that Nanchu princess, you're very happy, right? Speaking of which, your third brother treats you really well, even the woman you don't want, he can marry you for you, it's really a brotherhood. ”

Hearing the prince's words, Gao Xun gritted his teeth angrily, looked back at Cheng Jinzhi with a silent face very worriedly, and saw that there was nothing wrong with her face, so he met the prince's provocative gaze with a displeased expression.

"The third brother is wholeheartedly devoted to Jin Zhi, but he is no better than the royal brother, your three wives and four concubines, he has never been sincere, he will never marry Princess Nanchu!"

However, Gao Xun's words did not make the prince angry in the slightest, only to see him pull the corners of his mouth disapprovingly, and spoke unhurriedly.

"Sixth brother, it seems that Concubine Yi didn't teach you how to speak well. Don't forget, your father's harem is 3,000 beauties, and there are groups of concubines, otherwise how could there be your mother, and how can you come to this rotten tree that gives your father a headache?

"Who are you talking about! You know I don't mean that!"

Facing the scheming prince who hid a knife in his smile and was scheming, Gao Xun, who was still young and had no heart, was naturally invincible, and he was defeated in a few words.

Just wanted to have a seizure, but saw Cheng Jinzhi stretch out his hand and pull his sleeve, and he didn't pay attention to the prince, but wanted to make a detour with an indifferent expression.

As a result, of course, he was stopped by the unfulfilled and gloating prince.

"Cheng Jinzhi, don't be in a hurry to go. This palace is here to kindly remind you, so that you can be mentally prepared as soon as possible to welcome the princess of Nanchu into the gate of Yanwang's mansion. ”

The prince raised his hand to block Cheng Jinzhi's way, waved his sleeves, leaned closer, and stared at her with a meaningful look.

"Do you think that my father had concerns in the court before, and he didn't make a direct decision, is he really thinking about the third brother and you?" the prince paced back and forth slowly, "He is just thinking about what to do and what kind of title to give, so that the princess of Nanchu can marry gracefully and decently, so that the king of Chu can be satisfied." You also know that since ancient times, there has always been only one main room, just like the father's harem, even if the concubines are like clouds, there can only be one queen of the main palace, it seems that you, the princess Yan with infinite scenery, will soon become a side concubine and a concubine. ”

The prince deliberately accentuated the word "concubine" in the end, and although Cheng Jinzhi was silent on the surface, these words undoubtedly stirred up a lot of wind and waves in her heart, making her feel cold for a while.

Although the words are heart-piercing, they are reasonable, and it is indeed just as she guessed, but it is the answer she least wants to hear.

It's just that what she cares about is no longer a title, if she can, she would rather Gao Heng not be a prince, and she doesn't disdain to be this princess.

There is no need to intrigue and fight for succession, step by step, and there is no need to make painful sacrifices because of the country and politics.

She is just an ordinary woman, she does not have the awe-inspiring righteousness of "benefiting the life and death of the country to avoid it because of misfortune and fortune", she just wants to stay with her loved ones, live a peaceful and peaceful life, and protect the people around her who she cherishes.

But things are always like this in this world, and the more you want something, the more you will not be able to get what you want.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you said so much, didn't you just want to tell me that I will have a hard time in the future?"

Cheng Jinzhi looked at him indifferently, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Let me tell you, even if His Royal Highness is forced to marry Princess Nanchu out of desperation, I am afraid that her life will be even more difficult than mine. ”

"What did you say?"

"Because she can't get His Highness's sincerity. ”

Looking at the prince's surprised look, Cheng Jinzhi raised his chin and looked sharp, and the smile on his lips was even worse.

"If a woman is not loved by her husband and is just wishful thinking, that is the greatest pain. ”

It's just that as soon as the words fell, the heart in her chest twitched violently.

No matter how dismissive she was in the prince's face paint.

But there are some words that can deceive others, but after all, they still can't deceive themselves.
