Hearing Zhao Gou say this, Mao De was silent for a while. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Actually, she knows everything.

The relationship between the imperial court and Zhou Quan is, to put it bluntly, that word: high merit and high master.

If this development continues, sooner or later, the court and Zhou Quan will try to show up in poverty, if she really marries Zhou Quan, she will definitely be in a dilemma at that time.

But......

is about to fall into the abyss, but as long as there is honey in front of him, with human nature, he can't help but lick it.

Even Maude can't break through this obstacle. She nodded slowly: "I'll go with my brother......"

Zhao Gou was overjoyed in his heart, although the idea of marriage was extinguished a lot, but Zhao Gou was a sharp-eyed person, he felt that Zhou Quan still had a good impression of Maode, as long as Maode was there, Zhou Quan would give him three points of face, so for him, whether the task of this trip was completed or not, Maode was very important.

Maude packed his bags, and it wasn't long before Yu Liyan's female companion came to inform them to leave.

At this time, Ande and Maud were accustomed to lifting the curtains and looking outside the carriage - if the female official in the palace was around, they would definitely not be allowed to do so, but once Yu Liyan met it, and almost whipped the female official, so the female official was honest.

When he arrived at the dock, Maude's eyes suddenly lit up.

Because she saw Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan was talking to an old man, Mao De didn't know him, but seeing that the two of them were talking with a very speculative look, it seems that this old man should be very respected by Zhou Quan.

As if sensing that she was watching, Zhou Quan tilted his head and met Mao De's gaze, and a warm smile appeared on his face. This is Zhou Quan's reaction in the shortest possible time, so Mao De can be sure that this smile is very real, which proves that Zhou Quan's heart is very happy when he sees her.

This feeling made Maude's heart can't help but feel sweet.

Then came something that surprised her even more.

Zhou Quan actually strode towards them, and the old man who had a good conversation with him followed, but Mao De didn't pay attention to him at all, but stared at Zhou Quan who was getting closer and closer, and she was so nervous that her palms were oozing sweat.

"Are you here to talk to us, are you here to talk to us?"

With such a question in his heart, Maude realized that he had heard this voice. She thought that she had accidentally said what was in her heart, but when she looked back, she saw her sister Ander looking stupid and muttering to herself.

"Sister!" She couldn't help but pat Ander gently, if Zhou Quan found out that they were so out of shape, it would be bad.

Ander also came back to his senses, and the sisters glanced at each other, all of them were dizzy and shy.

Zhou Quan really strode in front of them, and after giving a salute to each of them, he just nodded slightly to André, and then said to Mao De: "I have been busy with general affairs these days, and I forgot to greet the two highnesses, can the two of you live in Haizhou?" ”

"The Princess...... The places where Jekook Gong is governed, are very comfortable, and we are doing well. Ander hurriedly replied.

Zhou Quan smiled: "It's good to get used to it, if there is any discomfort, I actually sent someone to tell me that no matter what my relationship with the imperial court is, the two of you are distinguished guests invited by Yu Liyan." ”

"We are looking forward to the trip to Jeju, we have long heard from the princess of Shu that the city of the five countries is also known as the city of flowers, and we can't wait to see it!" Ender said.

While they were talking, the old man who followed Zhou Quan also came over, and stood aside after saluting the two, Zhou Quan smiled and said: "This elder is Zong Ze, I don't know if you have ever heard of him?" ”

"Naturally, I have heard that Tong Guan's defeat, only the Duke of Jiguo and the Duke of Zong can foresee it!" Ander looked at the old man in amazement.

Next to her, Mao De had already silently saluted Zong Ze. Zong Ze was frightened and didn't dare to accept her salute, but Mao De was very stubborn and gave another salute: "Zong Gong is aware of everything and loyal to state affairs, if the court officials can be like Zong Gong, the country will be very fortunate, and the people will be very fortunate!" ”

Zong Ze glanced at Mao De with some surprise: "This must be Emperor Mao De who is righteous for the country, and the minister Zong Ze is polite." ”

He gave this gift for the loyal and talented people of the world.

The most feared of the world's loyal and talented people is not how strong the enemy is and how difficult it is, but that someone stabs the knife in the back.

No wonder Zhou Quan has a different attitude towards this person.

Zong Ze's heart moved slightly, the closer he was to Zhou Quan, the more he regretted one thing, that is, the matter between Zhou Quan and Yu Liyan.

Although this is a private affair, when it comes to Zhou Quan's identity and influence, where is there a private affair at all.

If Zhou Quan can marry the princess of the Great Song Dynasty, and the official family gives Zhou Quan the status of a prince or even a prince, and the two sides reach a tacit understanding, then it would be good, they could make full use of Zhou Quan's talents, and they didn't have to worry about him threatening the Great Song Dynasty.

This Maude Emperor is a very suitable candidate.

Zong Ze came to see Zhou Quan off, but he sent it all the way to Haizhou, and after sending it off, he would go back to Beijing.

Of course, Ande and Maude didn't have much interest in an old man like Zong Ze, but when they stood by Zhou Quan's side, they felt happy. Ander was bold, and asked Zhou Quan about some things at sea, and heard that the big whale on the sea can be as big as a hill, and Ander was so shocked that he shot his towering ****, which was Maode, and he also felt yearning, and he wished that he could see what Zhou Quan said immediately.

"Two, come with me on the boat, the first time I boarded the ship, I made a joke and almost fell into the sea......

Yu Liyan had already come over at this time, she said with a smile, and pulled up an emperor with one hand. Although the second daughter was a little reluctant in her heart, she could only signal to Zhou Quan and follow her towards the big boat.

This time they went to Jeju Island, they were not in a hurry, and they brought a lot of people, so they were no longer on a warship, but a big ship called a "cruise ship" by Zhou Quan.

The scale of this ship is even larger than that of the Shenzhou that sent to Goryeo, and there are three floors above the deck, although the speed is not too fast, but it is more comfortable.

For those who go to sea for the first time, life at sea is interesting, and Yu Liyan is a fun Xingzi, who can't run around on the boat, so she takes Ande and Maude to the stern of the boat to fish, go on the deck to blow the wind, or simply bask in the sun on the top of the deck.

Soon Maud fell in love with the feeling of blowing the wind on the deck, and at that time, she felt that she had been given a great deal of freedom.

Every day when the sun sets, she goes up to the top deck and looks at the snow-white waves, the flying seabirds, and the fish that disappear in the water.

The sun on the sea in early summer was a little poisonous, and even at sunset, it still made people a little uncomfortable, but she coveted this feeling of freedom, and was reluctant to leave.

"Put it on for you." In the evening, she was watching the glittering shores of the golden waves from the boat when she heard a voice in her ears, which startled her.

It's Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan held a wide-brimmed round hat in his hand, with a light scarf to cover his face. Seeing her stunned face like a frightened deer, Zhou Quan couldn't help but smile and pointed to the sun on his head: "You can protect yourself from the sun - you are so white, it would be a pity if you were tanned." ”

This was originally an ordinary sentence, but Maude's face was flushed, and even the golden light of the setting sun could not hide the shame on her face.

Zhou Quan was amazed by her beauty, but also a little annoyed, he regarded her as Yu Liyan, a teacher or Liang Hongyu, so he said such a thing in front of her.

This hat was originally given to Mao De by Yu Liyan, but Yu Liyan was lively and active, and he didn't know where he ran to the ship at this time, so Zhou Quan sent it to Mao De himself.

Maud took the hat and put it on top of his head, letting the veil hang down to cover his feverish face. Through the veil, she could see clearly when she looked at Zhou Quan, but when Zhou Quan looked at her, she seemed to be covered by a faint fog, which was a little unreal.

This Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is really like a fairy among the gods, and in terms of beauty alone, it is rare in the world.

"Thank you......" Mao Dezhu said these two words with a slight movement of his lips.

Zhou Quan smiled, thought for a while, and said, "Your Highness likes the sea? ”

"Yes, I have never seen it before, and after I arrived in Dehaizhou, I saw the sea for the first time, but watching the sea on land is different from watching the sea from a boat...... The sea and sky are wide, making people feel that there is no restraint between heaven and earth. Maud said softly.

"You're very restrained in the palace?" Zhou Quan asked in surprise.

Mao De was silent for a while, probably thinking about how to phrase it, and then said: "Although my father loves us, the palace has its own rules, every move, word and deed, all are rules. ”

There was a little loneliness in her voice, and without waiting for Zhou Quan to respond, she stared straight at Zhou Quan through the veil: "The intention of my father to order our sisters to come, we also know that in this case, we don't go back to the palace, not because my sisters are incorruptible and shameless, but because we don't want to go back to the place where we are restrained...... Whether you believe it or not, I want to say this sentence to you. ”

Zhou Quan listened attentively.

It wasn't that Maude didn't have this kind of opportunity to express her heart directly, but she never said it, probably because of her shyness. Today, she hid behind the veil, and only then did she muster up the courage to say what she was thinking, which could be regarded as arguing for her two sisters, lest Zhou Quan look down on them.

"I understand, I know what you think...... You can stay in Jeju for as long as you like, and if you don't have any expenses, just ...... Tell the teacher that is, don't worry, I won't spend my money in vain, I will keep all the accounts and ask the officials for it. ”

Zhou Quan told a cold joke, but Mao De just stared at him, even through the veil, Zhou Quan could feel her persistent gaze.

In fact, she doesn't just want to hear this, she wants to know more about Zhou Quan's views on marriage.

"Look, fish, big whale!" Zhou Quan couldn't respond to her on this question, just at this time, in the distance in the sea, a column of water rose into the sky, conjuring up rainbow neon in the sun, Zhou Quan pointed and shouted.

Maode's attention was finally attracted, which made Zhou Quan's pressure a little lighter, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a trace of guilt in his heart.

I don't know if this trace of regret is for Mao De in front of him, or for Yu Liyan. (To be continued.) )
