Zhou Ying looked at Xu Hong for a while, and said slowly: "You know that I am the most troublesome, so you should know that the candidate you proposed does not meet my requirements." ”

Xu Hong was in a hurry and was waiting to explain. Zhou Ying gestured to stop, "Listen to me." ”

Rao is Xu Hong was so anxious that he could only sit back.

Zhou Ying smiled comfortingly, and said: "First of all, this person is from a family, has many rules, and the relationship is also complicated, and secondly, this person has a favored concubine as an aunt, and a popular fifth prince as a cousin. By the way, this person was also the companion of the eldest prince who is now the only one in the court. With so many chaotic relationships and a background of deep controversy over the succession, why should I jump into trouble for myself? ”

Xu Hong finally couldn't hold back anymore and shouted: "But I will be good to you, only good to you for the rest of my life!" ”

This sentence was shouted, and the room was silent for a moment.

Xu Hong finally pierced the window paper, closed his eyes, and finally said: "I know that you don't like men with three wives and four concubines, and I also know that you don't like to be confined to the back house, and you have some means and ambitions." You and I are childhood sweethearts, you should know that I have always been unapologetic to other women, and there is no confidante or concubine. As for you doing foreign affairs outside, I have never objected to it, and I even support it wholeheartedly, you should see it. As for my parents, you also know that they are the most disciplined, and they are bound by the rules of the monarch and the ministers. ”

"If ......" Xu Hongsheng was afraid that something would be wrong and cause her to be disgusted, so he carefully said word by word, "I mean if we become a parent, I promise, every qiē will be the same as before we got married." I won't make other women and children get in your way, and I won't interfere in your affairs, and even if you live in the familiar princess's mansion, you live as usual, except for me as a tenant. And I've always been the most worry-free. ”

Xu Hong's words really hit Zhou Ying's psychology.

In this place that has been separated from her for thousands of years, Zhou Ying has never expected a lover with similar views and similar hearts. In this dynasty, men had three wives and four concubines, and even the women who were victims were adherents of this system. For Zhou Ying, who defaults to monogamy, this system reminds her of her identity as an outsider, and basically cuts off the possibility of her finding a lover.

Although her status as a princess can control the cleanliness of the backyard to the greatest extent, this is only due to power, as long as he thinks that as a man, it is natural for several women to serve him, then he will never cut off the possibility of stealing. And this dynasty also provided convenience for men to cheat in the greatest way, what is the Qin Mansion Chu Pavilion, and the secret alley is a private prostitute...... Ubiquitous. Even this kind of person who occasionally socializes in Hualou and does not really take concubines and raise pets can be called a gentleman of the Gu family, a rare good man.

Thinking of the possibility of living with this kind of person for the rest of her life, Zhou Ying felt sick to her stomach, and even considered becoming a nun.

However, what Xu Hong said is also reasonable.

As long as she is not married, her family affairs are ready-made weaknesses for the enemy's opponents to attack and destroy. If she really took the idle clouds and wild cranes, she would just be unconcerned about anything, but after this peace incident, she has realized very clearly that if she does not hold power in this dynasty, she can only let people eat her. Since he vows to hold power, it is best to deal with these weaknesses as soon as possible.

Since Zhou Ying has to choose someone to marry, Xu Hong, a childhood sweetheart, who knows everything about her character and family background, is undoubtedly much better than people who don't know the roots outside.

Even Xu Hong's family background is not a problem. Now that she has decided to chase power, the complex relationship background of the Xu family, even if it is not disadvantaged, even if it is used well, it may be able to play an unexpected role.

Of course, the most important thing is Xu Hong's sincerity.

Zhou Ying looked at Xu Hong quietly for a long time, and finally smiled, and said, "Okay, I promise your proposal." ”

Xu Hong's mind went blank for a moment, as if the whole world was quiet. He blinked in disbelief, ecstatic, and couldn't wait to run around Chang'an Avenue twice, and then roar from beginning to end, so that everyone in the capital would know that he Xu Hong was going to marry Zhou Ying.

Xu Hong carefully held Zhou Ying's hands, his expression was serious and handsome, "Zhou Ying, don't worry, I will be good to you for the rest of my life." ”

Zhou Ying has always known that Xu Hong is handsome, and he is very much the dream of some little girls, but getting along day and night has already made this beautiful scenery not so amazing. But when Xu Hong looked down at her, his shining eyes and flying smile seemed to light up the unborn gentleman's grace.

Zhou Ying's heart fluttered, and she couldn't help laughing, this family affair didn't seem to be as reluctant as she imagined.

Zhou Ying agreed here, Xu Hong was afraid of another accident, so he asked to see his father when he went back that day and had a secret conversation in the study.

After the next morning, Xu Guogong asked the emperor to see him, sincerely expressed his intention to marry Princess Ruyang, and faintly mentioned in his words that Xu Hong and Zhou Ying were in love with each other.

The emperor was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't respond immediately, but only said that he would consider it, and then summoned Zhou Ying into the palace.

Zhou Ying was not surprised by this summons. The last time Zhou Ying met with the emperor, she broke up unhappily because of her relatives. The two father and daughter have not seen each other for a long time, and this time the Xu family's courtship can be regarded as a step, which solves the embarrassment of the two.

Zhou Ying was a little surprised when she saw the emperor. I haven't seen him for half a month, but the emperor is a little weaker and older.

Now that July is only halfway over, the heat has not subsided, but the doors and windows of Weiyang Palace are closed, and the hall is also burned with earth dragons. The emperor was wearing thick clothes and a big fur cloak, so his face was still pale, and there was no sweat on his forehead, not only that, his clothes were empty, his back was not so straight, and he even had a crutch on crutches, which added a bit of old age.

It has always been rumored that the emperor suffered a lot of blows and was even angry because of the evil things done by the second prince Zhou Yan and the sixth princess Zhou Huan who murdered his siblings and communicated with foreign countries...... But Zhou Ying always thought that this was a rumor, the eldest prince on the adjacent street was still in high spirits every day, although he should be happy to be the second prince's rival, but if the emperor is really sick, can he still look calm?

How do you know that this rumor is true?

Zhou Ying hurriedly stepped forward to support the emperor and helped him sit down, "Why haven't you seen him for a few days, and my father is sick like this?" What about the Imperial Doctor? Zhou Ying sniffed the air in the hall, but didn't smell any medicine, so she couldn't help frowning even more, "What about the medicine?" Didn't my father drink it in the morning? ”

The emperor didn't think that Zhou Ying was arrogant, but because of his daughter's concern, he was very useful, but in the end, he wrote lightly: "I'm fine, I caught a little wind, the imperial doctor made a fuss and prescribed a lot of medicine, I drank it twice, it was useless, and it only stopped for two days, and you found ......"

The two of them fought for a long time about drinking medicine, and the emperor finally agreed to drink the medicine. Because of this, the strangeness between the emperor and Zhou Ying faded little by little, but some of the previous closeness was restored.

Emperor Zhengse asked: "Xu Guogong courted Xu Hong for his wife, have you ever known about this?" ”

Zhou Ying nodded, "My cousin asked me, and I agreed." ”

The emperor was surprised: "I remember that the Xu family kid was interested in you, but you haven't let go, is it because of this time and ...... kiss?"

The Emperor sighed lightly, "I promise that there will never be such a thing again." You really don't have to wronged yourself and marry someone you don't like to avoid trouble. You can be like your third sister, slowly pick a person who is in love, and I will definitely call the shots for you. ”

Zhou Ying smiled calmly: "Father, I didn't wronged myself, I really want to marry my cousin." ”

The emperor shook his head in disbelief, and pointed out sharply: "But when you mentioned Xu Hong, there was clearly no trace of male and female affection. ”

Zhou Ying couldn't help laughing, other people's homes were strictly guarded, for fear that their daughter would fall in love with someone and be embarrassed by her admiration, so the emperor was distressed about his daughter and had capital, so he rushed to ask his daughter to find a sweetheart who was in love.

Then Zhou Ying was a little stunned, if it weren't for the emperor really putting her daughter in his heart, he wouldn't have guessed from her words that she had ruthless feelings for Xu Hong. If it weren't for the matter of kissing, this father would really be impeccable.

Zhou Ying smiled lightly: "At that time, my relationship with my relatives was almost a foregone conclusion, and everyone, some persuaded me to accept my fate, some avoided it, and some fell into the ground...... Only my cousin did not hesitate to throw away his future and protect me. I think it's rare for me to meet a second person like this besides my cousin. Since I have to get married sooner or later, marrying my cousin is the best choice for me. ”

The emperor's lips moved, and he wanted to apologize, but some of the damage was done, that is, it was caused, and it was far from being compensated for with a light apology. He closed his eyes and sighed for a long time, "The Xu family kid also has a heart, since you have made up your mind, then do as you wish." ”

Zhou Ying thanked him and said, "Thank you, father." ”

Soon the emperor issued an order and pointed Zhou Ying to Xu Hong.

After this will, others returned it, but Xu Guifei disagreed, and called Xu Guogong into the palace to ask: "I said a long time ago, take care of your son, don't let him mix with that demon girl all day long, and now they are all married, what did you do?" ”

Xu Guogong replied: "The courtiers are soft-spoken, if the mother has any objections, she might as well talk to His Majesty." ”

How perfunctory Xu Guifei couldn't hear this, she laughed angrily, "First let your good son be the eldest prince's companion, at that time I was not pregnant with Xiao Wu, but I just returned, now Xiao Wu has grown up, your own uncle does not help his nephew, but stands behind the son of my sworn enemy, and now I want to marry Hong'er a woman I hate deeply...... My good brother, have you made up your mind to fight me to the end? ”

Xu Guogong raised his head and looked at Xu Guifei, he was old and sophisticated, of course he knew in his heart that Xu Guifei was dissatisfied with Xu Hong marrying a woman who did not meet her wishes.

Xu Guogong replied: "Don't worry, I have a continuous blood relationship with the five princes, but with the eldest prince, Hong'er has only crossed a little side, and now Hong'er has made a clear relationship with the eldest prince, and the Xuguo Mansion will naturally concentrate on assisting the five princes." ”

The anger on Xu Guifei's face gradually subsided, and a pair of beautiful eyes looked at Xu Guogong for a long time, and finally smiled: "This is a family." I was in a hurry to say just now, brother, don't be annoyed. When the big thing is completed, the position of the first assistant will definitely be in the brother's pocket. ”
