Zixi smiled lightly: "Don't say it so seriously." ”

"I'm telling the truth." Chu Chen muttered in a low voice, "Dealing with the government and balancing the power interests among the courtiers is enough to spend most of the emperor's thoughts and energy, and I don't want you to bear more pressure." ”

After speaking, Chu Chen squatted down in front of Zixi and took her slender hand: "Zixi, what I love is you as a person, not the power behind you, nor the glory you want to bring me." ”

Zixi opened her eyes, her gaze calm and soft: "I know." ”

Otherwise, he would not have given birth to a marriage proposal when she was still a princess, but after she ascended the throne, he retreated.

"As a man, I am already destined to be inferior to you." Chu Chen lowered his eyes, "But protecting you and relieving pressure for you is my unshirkable responsibility." ”

Zixi stretched out his hand, rubbed his head lightly, and picked his lips and smiled: "Didn't you say that I should protect you?" ”

Chu Chen was stunned and scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Isn't that a joke." ”

He is a big man, how can he really let her, a little woman, protect him?

"I see what you mean." Zixi said softly, "But I'm still thinking about it now, don't worry." ”

"Zixi, you don't have to think about it." Chu Chen raised his eyes slightly and shook his head at Zixi, "Love itself is pure, and I have always longed for clean and pure love, but ......"

Sighing softly, Chu Chen said softly: "However, all external forms are secondary - the most beautiful result of love is that two people can stay together until they grow old." ”

Zixi frowned: "Chu Chen......"

"You don't have to think about anything you shouldn't think about." Chu Chen interrupted her, "I understand your intentions. But if this relationship makes you a little embarrassed and a little stressed, that's my sin. ”

What he wants to see most is her smoothness and happiness.

Even if there is a little bit of something that will make her frown during this relationship, he will feel that he should not have done it and that he has not done a good job.

He was a man who was taller than her, had more strength than her, and had more endurance than her.

So he should have carried more and borne more, if he let this little woman carry all the pressure, what is the use of asking him to be a man?

"Chu Chen." Zixi sighed, "I may not have thought it through. There is no room for haste or compromise in the matter of feelings—"

"Zixi!" Chu Chen's expression changed slightly, and uneasiness appeared in his eyes, "Do you regret it?" ”

Zixi was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "It's not that I regret it, I'm worried that it won't be fair to you." ”

Chu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and there was still a little panic in his eyes: "How can it be unfair?" Chu Huan is only in his thirties this year, but his harem already has a queen, a few famous concubines, dozens of unnamed beauties, talents, and Jieyu......"

After a pause, "As long as his emperor remains in power for one day, he will continue to draft women into the palace every year in the future, who of those women has ever shouted that it is unfair?" Don't everyone want to enter the palace on tiptoe? ”

Zixi frowned: "You are different from them, you can't be compared together." ”

"I'm just making an analogy." Chu Chen took her hand, put it on her lips and kissed it, "Zixi, what I want to say is that this is a system, a rule that the royal family cannot break. If I like you, I will accept this system and rules. ”
