Chapter 19: The Old Men Meet 6

When Chu Chen left Tanglin last year, Zixi had just ascended the throne and had not yet supported Feng Weiyu as prime minister.

Chu Chen has been back in Xiling for more than a year, and just came back in poor health, at first the imperial doctors said that it may be because of the water and soil adaptation, but then it became more and more serious, and almost half of the time for more than a year was sick in bed.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for him to know about Zixi's love for the prime minister. But at this time, he seemed to know everything about the politics of the Tanglin Dynasty.

“…… Listen to people. Chu Chen was half-lying at the head of the bed, his eyes smiling, "When my health was not so bad before, I once entered the palace to participate in a palace banquet, and I heard the emperor inadvertently mention it. ”

Inadvertently mentioned?

Zixi smiled lightly and raised his eyebrows: "Why did Emperor Xiling suddenly talk about me?" ”

"There's no reason, it's just that when I was going to choose a horse for the princess at the banquet, I mentioned it casually."

Chu Chen glanced at her, and his tone seemed to be a little inexplicably depressed: "He said that Her Majesty, the newly enthroned Empress of Dongling, was in love, and he was pleased with a man, and even did not hesitate to support this man to the position of prime minister. ”

The emperor of Xiling did mention this matter, and even when he talked about it, he still had a sense of contempt, feeling that such a little girl's behavior was not in line with the demeanor of the king of a country at all.

Of course, because of this, I didn't take the little queen in my eyes at all.

However, Chu Chen's news was not learned from the emperor, and he even learned before the emperor that Zixi liked the young prime minister Feng Weiyu.

It's just that he can't let her know about these things for the time being.

Zixi nodded, as if accepting his explanation.

After a moment of silence, she said, "You just said that you are afraid that you will not be able to do so...... What are your wishes? ”

Chu Chen fell silent.

"Can't tell?"

"It's not." Chu Chen shook his head and sighed, the young man's eyebrows and eyes were handsome, and every time he smiled, it always made people feel that the elegance was boundless, "It's just that this wish is a bit petty, if you can't get your wish when you say it, you feel like it's just a joke." ”

Zixi looked at him quietly, nodded casually: "Since that's the case, then don't talk about it." ”

When Chu Chen heard this, he was slightly surprised.

After staring at her for a moment, Chu Chen said sullenly: "If I don't say it, Your Majesty won't ask?" ”

"Or else?" Zixi was a little puzzled, "You don't want to say it, can I still force you to do it?" ”

Chu Chen choked.

Pouting, he said, "If Your Majesty asks two more times, maybe I'll say it." ”

Zixi smiled lightly: "I don't like the difficulty of strong people. ”

Chu Chen choked: "But I want to say it again." ”

Zixi looked at him quietly and snorted, "Then I'll just listen to it." ”

Chu Chen suddenly had the illusion that this girl seemed to be waiting for this last sentence for a long time......

"When Your Majesty elects the imperial husband in the coming year, am I qualified to run?"

Chu Chen said, without waiting for Zixi to show surprise, he couldn't wait to add: "Chu Chen is proficient in all kinds of calligraphy and painting, and he thinks that his appearance is not bad, and His Majesty also knows it in terms of talent, I think I am up to the standard of the emperor." ”

The young man's voice seemed a little eager, a little different from his calm and calm bearing, and from these words there seemed to be some urgent and sincere anticipation.

Zixi fell silent.
