Chapter 5: True Love

"Propose?"

"Lord Wang?"

Manhe's words made the two mothers-in-law confused, and they just said that the young lady would not even be able to recruit a lowly husband in the future. Who knew that before these words were cooled, the king of Yingchuan rushed to propose marriage.

Isn't this a "snap" twice, opening the bow left and right, and slapping the mouths of the two nurturing grandmothers?

Not to mention the two mothers-in-law, Chu Yunxi was also a little confused, and he couldn't say what King Yingchuan was thinking about in his heart for a while.

According to the book, Yingchuan Wang Li Mu is a single-minded person, which is in stark contrast to the character of the third son of the Shen family. Li Mu fell in love with the heroine Dou Ruya all her life, and in the end she didn't fall in love with any other woman.

But now......

Chu Yunxi was a little puzzled, how could Li Mu suddenly come to the Chu family to propose marriage now?

If it is said that there is no special friendship between the original Chu Yunxi and the king of Yingchuan, they have never met separately before, and the first time they met was at the gate of the Shen Mansion yesterday.

If it is said that King Yingchuan fell in love with him at first sight, Chu Yunxi would never believe it.

I don't know what went wrong?

Although Chu Yunxi is indeed peerless, it is rumored that the daughter of the Chu family is the first beauty in the capital, and she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which can be described as a fairy. But Li Mu is a prince, and he is the uncle of His Majesty today, what kind of beauty has not been seen? Moreover, King Yingchuan is not a person who wants to see color and pays attention to color.

Chu Yunxi thought about it again, maybe King Yingchuan had taken a fancy to the power of the Chu family.

The king of Yingchuan has a heavy army in his hands, and he is the elder of the emperor, although he is young, but he occupies a lot of weight in the court.

It has long been rumored that the king of Yingchuan has the intention of replacing his nephew and ascending to the throne. It's not that the emperor has never been afraid of him, in fact, he has long secretly sent people to monitor him.

However, King Yingchuan was a smart man, and naturally saw the emperor's jealousy, so he took the initiative to return the fief and military power to the emperor, and asked to return to Beijing to be an idle prince.

The emperor thought that the king of Yingchuan was sincere, and blamed himself for a period of time, feeling that he was a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and did not intend to take back the fief and military power.

However, King Yingchuan repeatedly requested, and finally the emperor recalled King Yingchuan back to Beijing, and the fief was recovered, but the military power was still in the hands of Li Mu. After all, the border pass is not stable, some barbarians and small countries around are always ready to move, it is not enough to rely on Chu Yunxi's father Chu Jiutang as a general, the emperor still has to rely on his own uncle to go to the battlefield to fight, and the military power cannot be collected no matter what.

In this way, King Yingchuan was summoned to the capital and has been living in the capital ever since.

Others felt that the fiefdom of King Yingchuan was gone, which was enough to show his loyalty to the emperor. But Chu Yunxi knew that King Yingchuan didn't look down on that small piece of fiefdom, he wanted the entire great country, not the land under his feet.

King Yingchuan is not without ambition, and he is ambitious, more ambitious than anyone else, and is approaching the throne step by step.

If the king of Yingchuan really married the daughter of the Chu family, then the Yingchuan royal mansion and the huge Chu family would become a family, both of which were in military power, and both occupied a decisive influence in the court......

Chu Yunxi suddenly wanted to laugh a little, it seems that King Yingchuan has made a good move and has a long-term plan.

Manhe was a little anxious and said, "Miss, what can I do about this?" The prince is still waiting at the door. ”

Although the descendants of the Chu family have all seen the world, they have really never seen this kind of pomp.

Miss only came back from the Shen family yesterday, who would have thought that early in the morning, the king of Yingchuan would come to give a dowry, and everyone was caught off guard.

The bride price cars at the gate attracted many people to watch, and the scene was really spectacular.

Although there were many dowries from the Shen family some time ago, compared with the dowry of King Yingchuan now, it was really not enough to see.

The little maid who passed the word said excitedly: "The bride price of the prince is more than three times more than that given by the Shen family!" This prince is the prince, that's really different. ”

The two mothers-in-law were slapped in the face, although their faces were hot, but after thinking about it, if the young lady who couldn't marry really became a princess, it would be a good thing. When I saw the old man in the palace in the future, I could also say that I could go out and show off, which was better than being beaten off.

A mother-in-law hurriedly said: "Hey, hey, it's really Guanyin Bodhisattva's manifestation, our young lady is the best, so naturally she must be worthy of the best husband." Although the Shen family is good, it is always a little less magnificent, and the young lady is unwilling to marry, which seems to be right. No, the prince actually came to the door in person! ”

Another mother-in-law also said: "That is, except for Your Majesty, I am afraid that no one in this world can compare with the prince." Only the prince can match our young lady, that's right. ”

The two of them said that they were in a hurry, so they hoped that Chu Yunxi would not think about it, and agreed to this marriage, and they wished that they would marry in the Yingchuan Mansion tomorrow.

Chu Yunxi was not in a hurry, he didn't pay attention to the two mothers-in-law, but said, "Manhe, you go and help me talk to the prince......"

Manhe immediately nodded and said, "Miss, what do you want to say?" ”

Chu Yunxi said: "Just talk to the prince......"

Li Mu, the king of Yingchuan, personally came to the Chu family to propose marriage, and the people with many dowry gifts were dazzled. However, Li Mu arrived at the door and waited for a long time, but in the end he didn't see Chu Yunxi's face.

Miss Chu said that because her parents are not at home and have no backbone, and she is a daughter who has not left the cabinet, it is inconvenient to see the prince, and it is inconvenient to answer the prince's words, and everything has to wait for the parents to come back and then discuss it in the long run.

As soon as Chu Yunxi said this, the two mothers-in-law and the two girls were frightened, this is to give the prince a closed door?

Manhe couldn't help it, and in the end he let people pass it on according to Miss's words.

The two mothers-in-law were so frightened that they sifted through the chaff, as if their lives were short, if the prince got angry, maybe ......

Manhe called someone to pass the word, but he didn't expect that King Yingchuan was extraordinarily good at talking, and he also asked someone to deliver the message to Chu Yunxi.

Manhe hurriedly ran back, out of breath, and said intermittently: "Miss, the prince has already gone back." Also said...... said that he didn't think about it thoroughly, and he abruptly surprised Miss, and asked Miss to ask about the crime. ”

Chu Yunxi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but did not speak.

Manhe said again: "The prince also said, saying that he is sincere to Miss, and I hope that Miss will think about it and come again in the future." ”

King Yingchuan was rejected, but he was not angry, and his speech was still gentle and gentle, as if he was not a person at all with the legendary Blood Rakshasa on the battlefield.

Chu Yunxi nodded and said, "It's good if he's gone." ”

Li Mu left, and the people who were watching the excitement outside the Chu family also dispersed.

But early in the morning of the second day, Chu Yunxi opened his eyes, and the manly lotus walked in with a smile, still holding a hot snack in his hand.

Chu Yunxi smelled the aroma, and his stomach gurgled for a while, so he sat up and said, "What do you want to eat in the morning?" So fragrant? ”

Manhe smiled, his voice was very cheerful, and he pretended to be mysterious: "Miss, look, this is just delivered, and it's still hot." ”

When Chu Yunxi heard this, he asked, "Just sent it?" Who sent it? ”

Manhe seemed to be waiting for Chu Yunxi to ask, and couldn't wait to say: "It was sent by King Yingchuan himself, and he said that it was given to Miss to try it." ”

"The prince is here again?" Chu Yunxi was a little surprised.

"Not really." Manhe nodded and said, "The prince came early in the morning and sent hot snacks to the young lady. But this time has already left, saying that the old lady has not come back yet, and it must be inconvenient for the young lady to come out to meet, so I don't want to embarrass the young lady, so I left first. also said that if Miss likes to eat, she will send someone to the palace to bring a message, and send it to Miss tomorrow. ”

Chu Yunxi had a headache, and the dim sum sent by the prince himself was still hot......

Manhe looked happy and said happily: "Miss, why are you not happy?" The prince seems to really love you, Miss. ”

Chu Yunxi smiled and said, "He loves me? ”

"yes." Manhe nodded and said, "The prince is so attentive, he naturally admires you, but he is much stronger than that Shen Sanshao, why do you still think about that Shen Haobo?" ”

Chu Yunxi was a little helpless, and Manhe obviously misunderstood. Manhe thought that his young lady was thinking about Shen Haobo and had no more affection, so he refused to look at Li Mu more.

Shen Haobo is a scumbag, how could Chu Yunxi think about him, naturally he never thought about it in his heart.

What she is thinking about now is indeed Li Mu, the king of Yingchuan, but it is not a spring heart. Chu Yunxi couldn't figure out Li Mu's thoughts, and always felt that it was the weasel who didn't have a good heart to greet the chickens.

It's just that this weasel is really handsome......

"Miss."

Shui Cui, the little maid who was waiting in the courtyard, walked in and said, "Miss, there is a guest here." ”

While dressing up Chu Yunxi, Manhe asked, "What kind of guest is it?" This early in the morning. ”

Shui Cui said: "It's the girl Dou who lives in the Yingchuan Palace. ”

"Dou Ruya?" Chu Yunxi couldn't help but read softly.

Dou Ruya?

Isn't that the dream lover of the male protagonist Shen Haobo in the book, the childhood sweetheart of King Yingchuan's "infatuation"?
