Jiang Chuan himself didn't realize that his current thinking was more and more inclined to the perspective of a politician thinking about problems.

When faced with a matter, it is not about whether you want to do it or not, but about the possible advantages and disadvantages of this thing for you.

Especially in the matter of a woman, Jiang Chuan's idea a year ago was: If you want to marry a woman, you must first have feelings before you can talk about marriage. If he was a woman who had no feelings, he would never go to combine with her to form a family.

But now, with the earth-shaking change in his status, his thinking has begun to slowly shift from personal intentions to practical interests.

From a man's heart, three wives and four concubines are the ambitions of every normal man.

Especially being able to marry a charming golden branch and jade leaf is a great sense of achievement and conquest for men.

Although with Jiang Chuan's current status and power, the sense of conquest and accomplishment brought by this kind of thing is not too great, but it is undeniable that he also has this idea in his heart. After all, in essence, he is still a layman, not a saint, and even less a perfect man.

Jiang Chuan stood in front of him, trembling and waiting for his response, Wei Zhongxian, and said, "Father-in-law Wei, this king wants to see Princess Ruoling. You arrange it. ”

Wei Zhongxian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that Jiang Chuan did not directly refuse, so his face showed joy, and he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the slave maid will go and inform Her Royal Highness the princess." ”

Egawa is the princess of Ruoling in the water pavilion in the imperial garden.

This water pavilion is also the place where Jiang Chuan exposed the rebellion of Liu Lin, the Duke of Wei, and angrily reprimanded the ministers, forcing the emperor to issue an order to lock himself in the deep palace.

Standing against the railing, looking at the lotus leaf in the lake in front of him, and a frog jumping around on the lotus leaf, Jiang Chuan closed his eyes. Feel the cool breeze blowing from the lake.

There was a slight sound of footsteps behind him, and Jiang Chuan heard the hesitation of the person from this footstep, and knew that it was the princess Ruoling who came.

Jiang Chuan turned his head and looked at the petite figure in a white dress standing ten steps away from him and smiled slightly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, let's meet again." ”

Princess Ruoling looked a lot haggard compared to the way she saw Jiang Chuan a month ago.

A pair of beautiful big eyes, staring at Jiang Chuan. The eyes are very complicated, there is anger, there is sadness, there is more struggle and entanglement, the lip bites and is silent and does not speak.

Obviously, the loss of supreme royal power has also cast a heavy haze on the heart of this once innocent and carefree princess.

Jiang Chuan came to the stone table in the water pavilion and sat down, beckoned to the girl who was standing in the distance and hesitated, and said with a slight smile: "Your Royal Highness Princess, please come and talk." I'm not a man-eating tiger, so I don't have to stand that far. ”

Ruo Ling hesitated for a moment but walked over and sat down opposite Jiang Chuan.

On the stone table was a plate of fresh fruit, as well as a jug of wine and two jade cups.

Jiang Chuan picked up the wine jug on the table, filled the two jade cups with wine, and then placed one of the cups in front of Princess Ruoling.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, there is a fire in your heart, just drink a glass of cold wine to go to the fire."

After Jiang Chuan finished speaking, he picked up the wine in front of him, signaled to the princess, and then drank it all. The cold and refreshing wine entered his throat, and Jiang Chuan instantly felt a lot more refreshed.

Jiang Chuan's gentle attitude and clear eyes calmed Princess Ruoling's heart, who was originally hesitant and afraid.

She originally thought that the regent who was covering the sky now would have a very unbearable attitude towards her, but now it seems that it is completely different from what she imagined.

Jiang Chuan saw that she didn't drink the glass of wine, smiled indifferently, reached out and took the glass of wine and drank it himself.

He knew that Her Royal Highness the princess was definitely not in the mood to drink now, so he said straight to the point:

"Your Royal Highness Princess, I think you also know why I entered the palace today."

Hearing Jiang Chuan talk about business, Princess Ruoling's pupils contracted.

She was reluctant to bring it up, but she had to face it. A look of struggle flashed across his face, but in the end he didn't say anything.

When the emperor's brother brought this matter up to him, she was really angry, and even shouted that she was going to kill the damn rebel Jiang Chuan.

But after the queen mother and grandmother persuaded her bitterly, she slowly calmed down.

She had thought countless times about what kind of colt she would marry, but she didn't expect that she would eventually become the pawn who would save the fate of her family.

And to marry a rebellious minister and thief who stole the power of the royal family, which made her originally simple heart extremely painful and unwilling.

But she was a weak woman, but there was no way to resist.

She didn't eat for three days and three nights, and cried for three days and three nights, so she hated Jiang Chuan deeply.

In the end, she had no choice but to accept it, because she knew she didn't have any choice.

Originally born in the emperor's family, it is not only lucky, but also a misfortune.

Although he enjoys the glory and wealth that the people envy, many times he can only be a chess piece that can be sacrificed at any time for the interests of the royal family and the court.

Looking at the girl with a complicated expression in front of him, Jiang Chuan probably understood what she was thinking.

He smiled slightly, poured himself another glass of wine, drank it all, and said, "I know that you are in pain, and you hate me in your heart. I think so. usurp the royal power of your Ji family, let you, the princess, not compromise and marry me, a chaotic minister and thief, to protect the safety of your royal family. ”

Jiang Chuan's straightforward words made the eyes of the girl who originally looked resentful widen.

She didn't expect the man in front of her who made him hate so straightforward and frank.

Jiang Chuan keenly captured the change in the expression of the girl in front of him, smiled, and continued: "To be honest, I understand your feelings very well for trying to protect yourself. It's just that it's a stupid idea, and it's a stupid way of wishful thinking on your part. ”

Hearing Jiang Chuan being so ruthless, Princess Ruoling blurted out in a hurry"

"Do you think that this princess is not worthy of you?"

Jiang Chuan laughed, as if he had heard a very funny joke, and the girl in front of him who laughed at the end had a pretty face, even including her fair neck, and glared at Jiang Chuan with some annoyance.

Jiang Chuan finally suppressed his smile, picked up a big sweet pear from the fruit bowl, and took a bite before saying slowly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, do you think I am a womanizer?" Or do you think there will be a shortage of women around me? Or does Her Royal Highness think that her long-standing allure can turn all beings upside down? ”
