Chapter 66 Promise

Yuan Zhe took the lead.

This time, he held the jug and filled Chu You and his own glasses with wine.

Then, he put down the white porcelain jug, held the cup with both hands respectfully towards Chu You, and drank the wine in the cup.

This glass of wine is for Chu You to respect.

Yuan Zhe didn't have to say anything, Chu You immediately understood that Yuan Zhe agreed.

Chu You finally breathed a sigh of relief, held the cup in one hand, and bowed to Yuan Zhe, and drank the wine in one go, showing his gestures, bold and wild.

Yuan Zhe filled the wine glasses of the two again and said, "Your Highness, leave this matter to me."

What he said was not only persuading those noble families in the DPRK, but also persuading the Empress Dowager Yuan.

"Then I will entrust this matter to my cousin." Chu You's eyes and brows were instantly dyed with joy, and the initial rage and gloom changed, and the whole person seemed to be in high spirits.

Greeting Chu You's hot and bright eyes, Yuan Zhe's heart was a little complicated, and a strange light flashed across his eyes.

After thinking about it, Yuan Zhe reminded him carefully: "Your Highness, you can think clearly, the three girls from the Gu family can't help you with anything, so..."

He paused, his firm gaze fixed on Chu You's face, and he continued with clear words: "If Your Highness wants to marry her as the main concubine, then you must accept the daughter of the first family as the side concubine."

Chu You: "..."

Chu You's complexion changed instantly, his face tightened.

Yuan Zhe said again: "Your Highness, this is the condition of the minister."

Yuan Zhe rarely called himself "Chen" in front of Chu You, which obviously showed his business attitude.

Chu You didn't say a word, his thin lips pursed into a straight line, and he squeezed his hands on his knees tightly, trying to suppress the churning dissatisfaction in his heart.

There was a dead silence in the elegant seat, the atmosphere was rigid, the silence spread, and the air gradually stagnant, as if the storm was about to come.

Yuan Zhe met Chu You's cold gaze without evasion, his face still maintained his insistence, and persuaded: "Your Highness, you need an aristocratic family."

He is not alarmist, nor is he threatening King Kang, the truth is that King Kang really needs the family.

Chu You drank silently, his body still like a taut bowstring.

Yuan Zhe observed the change in Chu You's expression, and continued: "His Royal Highness, although my Yuan family has a certain influence on other aristocratic families, the reason why the aristocratic family is an aristocratic family is because of its lofty and unyielding style. Proudly. If you want to make the family willing to go to the ground for His Highness, His Highness cannot treat the family as a servant."

"The daughter of an aristocratic family is of noble birth, and she is a concubine. It is a grievance to make her a concubine. Your Highness must let the family see your sincerity."

Yuan Zhe said it all in one breath, and at the end, he added with sincerity: "Your Highness, this world has never been ruled by the Son of Heaven alone."

His unfinished words are that this world has always been governed by the emperor and his ministers together.

Kang Kang had to rely on these aristocratic families if he wanted to gain the world. In the future, he would also need to rely on aristocratic families to govern the world. The emperor and the aristocratic family were interdependent.

After   , Yuan Zhe stopped talking, just looked at Chu You fixedly.

Chu You also did not speak for a long time, and the surroundings were silent.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu You finally nodded with difficulty.

Yuan Zhe was relieved: what he was afraid of was that King Kang would give up and love the country but not the beauty. As long as King Kang has the big picture in mind, then he can rest assured, and he has enough confidence to convince the queen mother.

Chu You shook his hand at Yuan Zhe: "I'll ask my cousin."

"Where!" Yuan Zhe got up and solemnly gave Chu You a long bow.

Chu You got up, stroked his sleeves and said, "Cousin, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"His Royal Highness walk slowly." Yuan Zhegong sent Chu You away, and he could probably guess where Chu You was going, but he didn't say much.

As Yuan Zhe expected, after Chu You left the restaurant, he rode directly to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, looking in a hurry, Jun Yi's face was anxious, hopeful, happy, and also a little bit uneasy.

He rode his horse and galloped all the way through several bustling and lively streets, but he arrived at the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion with just a cup of tea.

The inner servant knocked on the door of the corner of the mansion, and without waiting for the concierge to report, Chu You rudely pushed the door open and rushed in aggressively.

Chu You came to the Hou Mansion, and the concierge naturally recognized King Kang, and he didn't dare to block him strongly. He only ordered his wife to chase after Chu You: "His Royal Highness King Kang!"

Chu You, as if he had never heard of it, walked forward with big strides, as tall and straight as a sword, with the aura of a **** blocking and killing a god, and a Buddha blocking and killing a Buddha.

Along the way, some servants of the Hou Mansion approached, but these servants also did not dare to stop King Kang.

Chu You came to the main hall without hindrance.

His eyes saw Gu Yunqiang in red at a glance, her face was lowered, her knees were bent, her white porcelain-like skin had lost her former look, and her eyes were full of repressed grievances and unwillingness.

Gu Yuncong's side is Mrs. Yu, the British lady-in-law. At this time, Mrs. Yu was picking up a hairpin from the tray held by the maid and slowly inserted it into Gu Yuncong's bun...

Chu You seemed to be slapped in the face, his face turned ashen, and he released a kind of sinister coercion all over his body.

He rushed into the hall like a gust of wind, and the low voices of maids and wives rang out one after another, but Chu You didn't care, and rushed to Gu Yuncong's side with a clear purpose.

"Snapped!"

Chu You raised his arm and waved his palm, and slapped over the red lacquered wooden tray in the hand of the maid.

The corner of the tray hit the back of the British lady's hand, and the hairpin fell to the ground together with the tray, making a banging sound.

The pearls on the hairpin were scattered, and pearls the size of grains of rice rolled to the ground.

"嫆'er!" Chu You stretched out his other hand in a lightning-fast manner, grabbing Gu Yun's wrist with his big palm and pulling her to his side.

Gu Yunchang's originally dull eyes burst into a splendid brilliance like a morning star when he saw Chu You, and his cherry lips moved slightly: "Your Highness."

The words    were hoarse and restrained, and there seemed to be a thousand words in her slightly moist pupils.

It was as if an invisible knife pierced deeply into Chu You's heart, pulled it out, and poked it in again.

He couldn't believe that if he was one step later, the marriage between Gu Yunchang and Fang Mingfeng would have been decided... He might lose her!

Just thinking about this possibility, Chu You felt unbearable pain.

Fortunately, he arrived in time! Fortunately, he did not lose his son!

In the hall, Mrs. Gu Tai, the British lady-in-law and the matchmaker looked at this scene with different expressions, and the atmosphere was awkward and stiff. King Kang's move was tantamount to beating the British government in the face in public.

Outside the hall, a pair of curious eyes watched the movement inside, and one pair of eyes belonged to Juan Bi.

Juanbi knew, it was like Gu Yanfei knew too.

"Miss, it's a pity, you didn't see it with your own eyes. At that time, King Kang rushed in like a mad cow, and broke the fine hairpin. That's the hairpin of Jin Yuji!"

"Kang Kang took the third girl's hand, and promised Mrs. Tai that she would give him another three days. Within three days, he will be able to come again to propose marriage."

"The slave maid looked at it, the three girls were so moved that their eyes were red."

Jubilee spoke incessantly, and while talking, he gestured with his hands and clapped his hands happily.

Gu Yanfei sat leisurely by the window, leaning against the back of the chair, listening absentmindedly, playing with the phoenix pattern jade pendant in his hand.

The touch of the jade pendant is delicate and moisturizing, cool and smooth.

Gu Yanfei gently rubbed the jade pendant with the finger pulp of his right thumb, mobilized the spiritual power in his body with all his attention, and slowly guided the little spiritual energy of the jade pendant into the body through the pores of the finger pulp.

The warm aura slowly flows through the veins of the body...

Dynasty to the present, a total of three.

The first generation was Emperor Taizu, who conquered the world. After ascending the throne, he suppressed the family and implemented the imperial examination system.

The second generation was the late emperor, and the Yuan Pei was a woman from a poor family, chosen by Emperor Taizu. After the emperor ascended the throne, he married a daughter of an aristocratic family and gave birth to King Kang. King Kang was the most beloved young son of the late emperor, so he wanted to change the crown prince, but in the end he was constrained by the court and failed. Therefore, the late emperor began to support the family and help his younger son.

The third generation is the current emperor.
