At this time, it has entered the cold winter of the lunar month, and there are more than 20 days before the new year.

The weather was cold and windy.

Zhou Quan's black face was stunned by the slightest hint of spring in this cold wind.

The twenty-eight-year-old old bachelor was thoughtful, like a hairy boy who had never seen a woman, and Ai Ai said uncontrollably: "Congratulations to General Lian! ”

General Lian, who was already thirty-one years old and was about to be thirty-two years old, looked at Zhou Quan with a somewhat complicated gaze. A scene from a few days ago comes to mind.

On that day, Empress Xie was summoned.

Although Xie Mingxi did not formally apprentice, he also practiced martial arts with Lian Shuyuan for several years. On weekdays, he respects Lian Shuyuan very much. Since returning to Beijing, Xie Mingxi often summoned Lian Shuyuan into the palace to speak. Lian Shuyuan didn't think much about it, and entered the palace.

Xie Mingxi quite euphemistically mentioned Lian Shuyuan's lifelong event: "...... The master has always been celibate and never married, all because he does not want to be confined to the inner house and does not want to become a man's vassal. ”

"The master is brave and has the talent to lead and train the troops, which is unparalleled in the world. Ordinary men are not worthy of the master. Therefore, although Sheng Hong and I have been concerned about the master's lifelong affairs over the years, we have never said much. ”

"Today, I would like to ask the Master what he wants. If there is a man who has always been in love with his master, he does not mind that his master lives in the barracks, he does not mind that his master will be a better general than his husband in the future, and he does not ask his master to teach his son. I only want to join hands with the Master and the Master, and I have no doubts. ”

"Is the master willing to marry such a man?"

Lian Shuyuan was stunned when she heard this, and blurted out: "How can there be such a man in the world!" ”

If she had, she would have been married a long time ago!

She has always been single and unmarried, not because she hates marriage. It's because she has never met a man worthy of her marriage!

Xie Mingxi smiled meaningfully: "Since I opened my mouth with my master, of course I have." Moreover, he is also a familiar person to the Master. The master was usually immersed in the barracks, and never paid attention to the people around him. Now think about it, who is this person? ”

After speaking, Xie Mingxi elegantly picked up the tea and sipped it.

Lian Shuyuan looked at Xie Mingxi suspiciously: "It can't be Sheng Hong!" ”

Burst!

Xie Mingxi squirted the tea in his mouth rather indecently, and then coughed a few times.

A mischievous smile flashed in Lian Shuyuan's eyes, and she made a serious accusation: "I laugh casually, don't take the queen to heart." Xie Mingxi deliberately sold Guanzi, of course she had to pay one or two in return.

Xie Mingxi couldn't cry or laugh: "That's it, I won't go around the bend anymore." The person I just mentioned is the emperor's personal bodyguard and the commander. ”

Zhou Quan has secretly admired his master for many years, and he has never dared to express his intentions. Now that he is also a big man, the emperor and I are anxious for him. ”

"I have come here today to ask the Master what he wants, and if the Master is willing to marry well, it will be regarded as a good thing. If the Master is unwilling, I will immediately dispel any disrespect for the Master. ”

Lian Shuyuan has been different from ordinary girls since she was a child, with a decisive temperament, crisp and neat, and never hesitates.

But this time, Lian Shuyuan couldn't make a decision on the spot, thought for a moment, and said, "The queen mother allows me to think about it for a few days." ”

Xie Mingxi said with a smile: "Master think about it slowly, you don't have to make a decision in a hurry." ”

……

In the past few days, Lian Shuyuan has one more thought.

She didn't think about it clearly for a while, but at this time, she saw the thoughtfulness of the shyness, and she felt a little uncomfortable. He cleared his throat and said, "Thank you, Commander Zhou." ”

In the past, after saying this, Zhou Quan will give way with interest.

Today, Zhou Quan didn't know where he got the courage and courage, but he had been stopped in front of Lian Shuyuan, and he couldn't say a word when he was full of words. just looked at Lian Shuyuan with a blank eye.

"Zhou Quan, the queen has revealed your heart to Master Lian. Whether you can marry a daughter-in-law or not depends on yourself. The emperor's joking reminder a few days ago echoed in his ears, and Zhou Quan's palms were in cold sweat.

The emperor is right.

If you want to marry a daughter-in-law, you have to be cheeky.

Otherwise, when will you be able to hold the beauty?

The emperor disguised himself as a woman back then, and cheekily ate and slept with the young Queen Xie, which led to the marriage of the phoenix. Now he is cheeky enough to stop his sweetheart and look at her a few more times...... Nothing more!

She wouldn't turn her face and beat him in public!

Zhou Quan silently emboldened himself, and his black face was already red. I didn't learn Sheng Hong's shameless demeanor at all, and that young and pitiful appearance made even Lian Shuyuan a little unbearable.

"Commander Zhou stopped me, do you have anything to say?"

Lian Shuyuan slowed down her tone slightly: "If there is nothing important, I will go first." Ten days later, I will lead the Shu soldiers to fight against the elite of the Royal Forest. I have to go to the barracks now. ”

Zhou Quan's heart was secretly excited.

She didn't say cold words to his face, nor did she show him his face. Does this mean that she also has a slight affection for him in her heart?

Zhou Quan plucked up his courage and looked directly at his sweetheart: "I'll send you to the barracks." ”

Lian Shuyuan's brows moved, and her expression was a little complicated: "As the commander of the emperor's guards, how can you easily leave the emperor's side?" ”

Zhou Quan plucked up his courage again: "I have taken a day off with the emperor. I'll take you to the barracks and I'll be back. ”

Lian Shuyuan: "......"

Facing the upright face that was as red as a monkey's buttocks, Lian Shuyuan suddenly found that she couldn't bear to refuse. The body reacted one step ahead of the mind and nodded.

Zhou Quan's eyes lit up, three points brighter than the scorching sun in the sky.

……

"Zhou Quan, that fool, has been giggling for a few days."

A few days later, in the Fulin Palace, the young and loving emperor and queen were gossiping and whispering in the warm bedroom with a charcoal basin. Sheng Hongren has to hold the Son of Heaven in front of him, but in private, he looks lazy. Half sitting, half lying on the bed.

Speaking of thoughtfulness, Sheng Hong's tone was full of disgust: "As soon as I saw his bright smirk, I wanted to kick him." ”

Dangling under his nose every day, smiling so mentally retarded, don't mention it!

Xie Mingxi chuckled: "He has been in love with his master for several years, and he has never dared to express his intentions. Now that I finally have hope, there is no reason to dislike it in my heart. ”

Sheng Hong rolled his eyes: "It's still you and me who sympathize with him, an old bachelor, and take the initiative to open his mouth to be a matchmaker for him." If he is left to himself, he doesn't know that it will be the year of the monkey. ”

Xie Mingxi laughed in a low voice: "The master is busy training, and in a few days, the two armies will be fighting each other." Don't be distracted at this time. After the martial arts performance, I will ask the master again. If the master nods, let Zhou Quan go to the Lian family to propose marriage! ”

The thoughtful committee is really not small, and Lian Shuyuan will be thirty and two after the New Year. At this age, it is enough to be a grandmother.

Sheng Hong smiled and nodded.

The topic of the two naturally turned to martial arts.

"What are the chances of winning against the Shu soldiers against the Royal Forest Army?" Xie Mingxi asked with a smile.
