Zhou Ruian wanted to get married, but he frowned in an instant, "You said it easily, you also saw Qingyue's appearance today, does she mean to get married?" ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Ruian felt that his life was hard, think about it, he was fully prepared for the two drafts, and the arrangements were appropriate, but there was a mess, why couldn't he marry a wife smoothly?

In the end, Zhou Ruian felt that this was probably a good thing.

Xiaofuzi thought about it for a while, and gave Zhou Ruian a bad idea: "Your Majesty, think about it, you can even see the conspiracy of the second prince, and you can calculate him and marry a wife, isn't that a trivial matter for you?" ”

Xiaofuzi has always been full of confidence in Zhou Rui'an, in his opinion, Zhou Rui'an is wise and martial, handsome and extraordinary, he should be the wishful husband in the minds of all women, why does Jiang Qingyue look down on their emperor? What's wrong with their emperor?

Xiaofuzi can be upset for Zhou Rui'an.

Luo Bei glanced at Xiao Fuzi, felt that he was really naïve, and reminded him: "What is a wife?" That's called going into the redundancy! The emperor has already prepared a dowry and is ready to enter at any time. ”

Xiao Fuzi's eyes couldn't help but widen in shock, and he looked at Zhou Rui'an with a stunned expression, hoping that Zhou Rui'an would be able to refute Luobei.

Zhou Rui'an looked annoyed: "Don't say it, even if she is rich now, she may not be willing!" ”

Even the money is disgusted! Xiaofuzi is grief-stricken and indignant, have their emperors already made a compromise to this point?!

How cruel is this?

Luo Bei reminded Zhou Rui'an: "Your Majesty, you have made a decree before to establish Prince Jiang...... Ah no, Miss Jiang is the last, the holy decree has been issued, you have no jokes, how can she not agree? When the time comes, you will marry someone into the palace, and what will happen when the time comes, isn't it up to you? ”

Luo Bei called Jiang Qingyue's son Shunkou, which reminded him of when he saw Zhou Ruian and Jiang Qingyue together before, he always thought that their master had broken his sleeves, and he was sad and worried for a while.

Zhou Ruian hesitated: "This, can this work?" You don't know the temperament of our family Qingyue, it is better to break the jade than to complete it, I am worried that I will be forced to be ruthless, so that she will have the opposite effect, and it will be difficult to do it at that time. ”

Luo Bei thought for a while, and then said: "No, the emperor, according to the subordinates, the girl is not without feelings for you, and she must be reluctant to you, now, it's just the girl's family having a temper, you apologize to her, and even if she is still angry, you have to take care of your face as the emperor!" The girl is not the kind of person who doesn't know the general situation, and when the time comes, she will definitely agree to it in order to save your face! ”

Zhou Ruian hesitated for a moment, always feeling that this was persecuting and threatening Jiang Qingyue, but the idea of marrying Jiang Qingyue was too attractive to him, so he couldn't control such thoughts at all, and all his worries were put behind him.

"Good!" Zhou Rui'an immediately said: "You go and tell the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the main hall immediately!" It's time for me to stand up! ”

Luo Bei shook his head heavily, and secretly said in his heart, their master has finally been hardened, and I hope they can keep it!

However, when Luo Bei went to inform the Ministry of Rites that Zhou Ruian wanted to establish Jiang Qingyue as the queen and let him prepare for the ceremony, he was resolutely opposed by the Ministry of Rites.

Not only the Ministry of Rites, but also the ministers who were frightened and poisoned at the wedding, as soon as they heard about it, they couldn't take care of their illness, and they dragged their sick bodies and began to write a book, asking Zhou Ruian to take back his life, Jiang Qingyue's identity is really not suitable for the future.

Jiang Qingyue was the daughter of Emperor Xuande first, and Emperor Xuande was the murderer of King Jin. And the second prince has just tried to misbehave, although it is an attempt, but he is Jiang Qingyue's elder brother.

Jiang Qingyue has a lot of relationship with such two people, how can such a woman be worthy of the queen's responsibility? !

And looking at the current situation, Zhou Rui'an is also very affectionate to Jiang Qingyue, in case Zhou Rui'an is infatuated with Jiang Qingyue, if Jiang Qingyue is confused by Zhou Rui'an and becomes a generation of faint monarchs, what should he do?

Too dangerous! It's so dangerous! Nothing like this can be allowed to happen! In order to force Zhou Ruian to take back his fate, the ministers can be said to be united, and they even began to kneel outside the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Zhou Ruian didn't expect that one day, the biggest obstacle for him to marry Jiang Qingyue was not Jiang Qingyue, but his own ministers, and these ministers were spared by him!

Zhou Ruian sat in the study with a pale face, and Xiao Fuzi hurriedly walked in.

Zhou Ruian asked coldly, "Are they still kneeling?" ”

Xiao Fuzi nodded timidly, and then said, "I heard that there were already three elders who fainted in the morning. ”

When Zhou Ruian heard this, he just wanted to sneer and say that he deserved it, but Xiao Fuzi continued: "But there will be a minister to make up for it soon," after a pause, he couldn't help but say: "Kneel neatly, outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, the real appearance is unconventional!" ”

Zhou Ruian glanced at him coldly, and Xiao Fuzi immediately didn't dare to speak.

Zhou Ruian snorted coldly and said, "I see that these people are just too full!" It's too little! That's why they are so idle, and they all take care of my private affairs! ”

Xiao Fuzi shrunk his neck to the side, glanced at Zhou Rui'an with some words to say, thought about it, but still didn't dare to speak.

Zhou Ruian glanced at him: "What about Luo Bei and Liu Min?" ”

"Oh, Commander Liu is dealing with Lord Liu's funeral, and Brother Luo has gone to arrange for Chen Baobao." Xiao Fuzi hurriedly said.

Zhou Ruian frowned, and said angrily: "They are not there when they are employed at the critical moment!" What do I want them for?! ”

Xiao Fuzi sneered, with a tangled look, he finally couldn't help it: "Your Majesty, you are in a hurry here for marriage, but the slave heard that Miss Jiang has been guarding outside the second prince these days!" ”

Zhou Ruian was stunned for a moment, and a complicated color flashed in his eyes.

This time the second prince plotted against him, Jiang Qingyue's performance has explained everything, she did not help the second prince, at the critical moment, she still chose him.

Jiang Qingyue first asked Liu Min to publicize the second prince's collusion with the Tatar army, which made the second prince lose popularity, and then it was she who was keenly aware of the abnormal situation and transferred Liu Min's Jinyi guard back, which avoided an unusually hard battle.

It can be said that Jiang Qingyue's heart is still towards him, even if the second prince is her brother, she did not help the second prince rebel together.

But this does not mean that Jiang Qingyue doesn't care about the second prince in his heart, this time the second prince actually dares to force the palace, Zhou Ruian can no longer keep him, and it is only a matter of time before he disposes of the second prince, but he is too anxious to get married, and because of the uproar, he didn't have time to deal with the second prince.

However, everyone knows that the fate of the second prince is just a matter of time.

It is precisely because of this that Zhou Ruian sealed all the tunnels of the Second Prince's Mansion, and then sent him back to the Second Prince's Mansion, which can be regarded as Zhou Rui'an's last dignity for Jiang Qingyue's face.

Jiang Qingyue also knew, so she chose to stay outside the Second Prince's Mansion instead of entering the palace to plead with Zhou Rui'an.

is also because of Jiang Qingyue's behavior, she did not hide it, which also led to the reason why the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces opposed Jiang Qingyue so much, looking at this situation, you know that Jiang Qingyue still cares about her brother, how can such a person become a queen? If she has a grudge in her heart, what if she kills the emperor to take revenge?

Zhou Rui'an sat down with a complicated look in his eyes.

Xiao Fuzi carefully looked at Zhou Rui'an's expression, and thought in his heart, with Zhou Rui'an's feelings for Jiang Qingyue, I am afraid that this time it will be due to Jiang Qingyue's temperament, right?

Xiaofuzi understands that Zhou Ruian can be resolute with anyone, but when he met Jiang Qingyue, it was like a different person, all principles and bottom lines had to be let go again and again, Jiang Qingyue could be so crutched, a large part of the reason was Zhou Rui'an's habit.

But Xiao Fuzi didn't dare to say this, just lowered his head and looked well-behaved.

Who knows, Zhou Ruian suddenly stood up, with an awe-inspiring expression: "I used to be too obedient to her!" Everything depends on her! It made her more and more lawless! This time, I won't let her temperament come again! ”

He can't let her anymore, he is racking his brains for their marriage, she just doesn't care, but is still pulling back, Zhou Ruian feels that it is time for him to shake the husband who may not exist, what if it can exist? Right? What if?

Zhou Rui'an said, turned around and strode out, when passing by the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, the ministers were still united and kneeling outside diligently, seeing Zhou Rui'an coming, they thought that the emperor was here to persuade them, and the ministers' spirits were shocked, and even their backs were straightened.

Who would have thought that Zhou Rui'an didn't even look at them, and passed directly in front of them, as if they didn't exist at all, and he didn't mean to persuade them at all, let alone say anything to let them go back.

Come on, keep kneeling.

Zhou Rui'an went directly to the Second Prince's Mansion, and Jiang Qingyue was really there, holding a spear, standing outside the door, like a guard.

As soon as Zhou Rui'an saw this, his face became gloomy, and he strode towards Jiang Qingyue.

"I don't know that the future queen of the dignified Dajing actually came here to be a janitor?" Zhou Ruian couldn't help but say mockingly.

Jiang Qingyue glanced at him and said lightly: "You can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, this Manchu Dynasty civil and military tried their best to oppose it, did the emperor convince them?" Called the queen? ”

Zhou Ruian was choked and couldn't help but be a little annoyed, he always had no way to treat her, but she always had a way to him.

Zhou Ruian glanced at her, and said indifferently: "I am the queen, I don't need to convince anyone!" My queen can only be you! ”

Jiang Qingyue stared into his eyes, although his tone was indifferent, his eyes were very serious.

Zhou Ruian held her hand: "I know, there are still many misunderstandings between us, you are still angry, but it doesn't matter, I have a lot of time, I am willing to wait for you, I believe that you will always have a willing day." After a pause, he continued: "But I hope that the reason you don't reject me is not because of him. ”

The two of them knew well and knew who this 'he' was, Jiang Qingyue pursed his lips and didn't speak.

Zhou Ruian said: "It's not early, I'll let someone send you back, I heard that Chen Xiu'er is a month old, her health is not good, don't you go back to see her?" ”

Chen Xiuer's pregnancy is really difficult, the child is very tossed, which makes Chen Xiuer suffer a lot, and now that she is older, it is even more difficult, and Chen Xiuer's drowsiness is also more serious.

When Zhou Ruian mentioned Chen Xiu'er, Jiang Qingyue was worried and nodded: "I'll go back by myself." ”

Zhou Ruian smiled: "I know that you are strong in martial arts and have always been independent, but Qingyue, the last time you were kidnapped by Tuoba Gang, your whereabouts are unknown, do you know my mood at that time?" You should take pity on me, and let people accompany you back in order to make me feel at ease, right? ”

Jiang Qingyue was a little uncomfortable, she has always eaten soft rather than hard, if Zhou Ruian forced her to take someone back today, she might quarrel with him, but when he spoke to her in such a consultative tone, she couldn't help it, she nodded helplessly, and had to agree.

Zhou Rui'an immediately smiled, and the pear vortex at the corner of his lips loomed.

The Ouchi guards escorted Jiang Qingyue away, Zhou Ruian looked at her back, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually faded, he turned his head and glanced at the Second Prince's Mansion, his eyes flashed, and then he strode in.

The second prince is in the study, and now he does not have the previous calm and leisure, nor the pretense of depression, only endless loneliness, which is a kind of cold silence after losing all hope and fighting spirit.

Zhou Rui'an walked in, the second prince raised his head and glanced at him, and said in a calm tone: "What? Are you here to admire my downfall? I don't know what I look like now, has it satisfied you? ”

Zhou Rui'an walked to his table and stood still, and said lightly: "You have always misunderstood one thing, you are not that important, at least you don't need me to be here in person." ”

A flash of anger flashed in the eyes of the second prince, but in an instant, he was indifferent again, and he said mockingly: "This is the truth. After a pause, he said lazily: "I'm not worth it, then it must be for Qingyue." ”

Zhou Rui'an said lightly: "I am going to make Qingyue the last." ”

The second prince's expression was stunned for a moment, and immediately, he lowered his gaze and said indifferently: "Do you want it?" I'm afraid it's not that easy, right? The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will not agree, and the people will not agree, and it is not easy to convince the sister who killed your father's enemies and rebellious ministers and thieves as the queen. After a pause, he glanced at Zhou Rui'an: "Or, are you ready to be a faint king?" ”

In the end, his tone was mocking and sarcastic, but Zhou Ruian didn't bother with him.

Zhou Rui'an's gaze fell on his face, his eyes were sharp and focused: "Qingyue, is it really the daughter of Emperor Xuande?" ”

The second prince's expression suddenly froze, but in an instant, he returned to his original state, he picked up the teacup and poured a cup of tea, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking smile: "It seems that you really have no choice, you are starting to rush to the doctor!" Actually suspect Qingyue's life experience? ”

The second prince said, raising his eyebrows, and his tone was firm: "Do you still need to ask this?" Isn't this something that the whole of Beijing knows? Chen Baobao has already recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, Qingyue is not a princess, so who is? ”

The second prince said, and continued: "I have a simple place here, only a cup of tea, if the emperor does not dislike it, sit down and drink a cup of tea." ”

Zhou Rui'an narrowed his eyes, stared at him for a while, and suddenly said, "Qingyue is really not your sister!" ”

The second prince frowned, and his tone was impatient: "I have already said, if she is not, then who is the real Princess Ningyang?" ”

"You're avoiding the important and changing the subject!" Zhou Rui'an said: "You mentioned Chen Baobao and asked me to sit down and drink tea, all to distract me and make me not pursue Qingyue's life experience. ”

"That's it?" The second prince asked with a smile.

Zhou Ruian was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "Of course this is not the main reason, the real reason is that I don't believe that you will fall in love with your own sister!" ”

The second prince raised his head suddenly, and his eyes shot sharply at Zhou Rui'an: "Zhou Rui'an! Don't talk nonsense! ”

"I've thought about it, what you did for Qingyue, if you were just a brother and sister, you wouldn't be able to do this, you saved Qingyue again and again, and even gave up your plan for her, just for a sister who agreed with her parents, is it possible? No way! Zhou Ruian said categorically: "What you do is not like a sister, but a man's love for a woman!" ”

Because of this kind of relationship, Zhou Ruian is very familiar with it, and he is like this to Jiang Qingyue.

The second prince stared at him with a gloomy face and said, "Zhou Rui'an, do you know what you're talking about?!" You are not only defiling me, but also slandering Qingyue! ”

Zhou Rui'an didn't pay attention to his words, and said to himself: "At first, I felt strange, even if you know that Qingyue is your sister, but she is just a half-sister, not growing up in one place, and how many brothers and sisters have deep affection, so that you don't hesitate to contradict your mother for her!" ”

Zhou Ruian said, glancing at the second prince: "It wasn't until later that I changed my mind, if I treat you as a man, and she is just a beautiful and straightforward woman, then everything makes sense." ”

"Nonsense! Sling the bull! The second prince said angrily: "Do you think that making up such a lie to say that Qingyue is not the daughter of her father, and she has no ties of this identity, you can make her the queen?" You're too whimsical! ”

Zhou Ruian was not angry, but looked at him silently, and suddenly said, "Isn't it sad? In the face of the woman you love, you can't admit your feelings for her, you have done so many things for her, and even gave up a good country for her, in the end, you can't even admit that you love her, you can only use brother and sister love to deceive yourself, are you really willing? ”

The second prince was struck by lightning, he lowered his head with complicated eyes, and was silent for a while, before he said mockingly: "You said so much, just to let me say that she is not my sister, not the daughter of Emperor Xuande, so that you can marry her justifiably, Zhou Rui'an, you have made too much of a bend." ”

"But isn't that true?" Zhou Rui'an said rhetorically, paused, and his tone was firm: "No matter whose daughter she is, I will marry her, and she will definitely be my queen!" ”

The second prince said: "In that case, why did you come to me? ”

As soon as Zhou Ruian was about to speak, the second prince said: "That's because Qingyue cares about me, and you are worried that after you kill me, Qingyue will have a grudge in his heart." After a pause, he curled the corners of his lips: "Do you think that I have done so many things for her, all of them are useless?" No, she remembers it all in her heart, she will take care of me, and that's enough. ”

No one's efforts will be paid in vain, and the things he did for her seemed to be unrewarded, but they all remained in her heart.

Zhou Ruian also understands this.

"So you're going to take advantage of this and keep her at peace for the rest of her life?" Zhou Ruian looked at him and asked calmly.

This time, it was the second prince's turn to freeze his expression.

"Have you done so many things for her, just to make her feel uneasy and guilty about you, and let her carry these things, and then she will not be able to live in peace for the rest of her life?" Zhou Rui'an continued: "You know my character, I will never let go, she will definitely marry me, so you hope that even if she marries me, she will also carry guilt towards you, and then she will never be able to accept me and live an awkward life?" ”

The second prince glared at Zhou Rui'an angrily and said, "What does this have to do with me?!" Could it be that I still want to help you live with Hemeimei?! Zhou Rui'an, you are too deceitful! ”

"Is it because I'm deceiving people too much, or are you thinking too much of yourself?!" Zhou Ruian also suddenly raised his voice: "You saved her again and again, and you ended up in today's field, do you think you love very much?" What you did to her, did you move yourself again and again? But did all this you do make her feel happy?! ”

"Nope! Nothing! You thought you saved her, and you did so many things for her, just to embarrass her! Let her be torn between you and me! Let her fall into the guilt of you! It even forced her to give up her feelings! Zhou Ruian scolded angrily: "You know her so well, you don't know that her feelings for me, but because of you, she has to suppress her feelings, and even hate me!" ”

"Is this what you think you are giving? Let her live in guilt and self-blame for you, let her be pointed at by the courtiers, and bear the identity of being the sister of the anti-thief, do you know that the intention is to rebel, but it is necessary to connect the nine clans! Zhou Ruian said angrily!

Since ancient times, rebellion has been to connect the nine clans, of course, the second prince has a special identity, and these nine clans are all involved in the royal family, but Jiang Qingyue, as his closest sister by blood, must not be able to escape, which is also the reason why the ministers oppose Zhou Rui'an and make her the queen.

Not killing Jiang Qingyue is already extrajudicial, and you still want to be a queen?

The second prince stiffened, as if he had lost all his strength.

Zhou Rui'an stared at the second prince at this time, and slowly spoke: "Now tell me, who is Qingyue?!" ”
