Chapter 112 - Duo Family Daughters 2

On the morning of the second day, before the sky brightened, Zhe Keqiu had already arrived at the palace to participate in the morning assembly!

As the highest-ranking official of the Privy Envoys, he was the one who had the final say in everything! Right now, he was not tired of the morning assembly! The feeling of being able to command the world made him extremely excited!

When the morning assembly ended, Zhe Keqiu hurried back to his own home!

Xiao Xue was still falling from the sky, the servants at the door had swept the snow off Zhe Keqiu's clothes, Zhe Keqiu asked: Where is Miss now?

"She's still painting even in such cold weather! I'll go and see her! " Zhe Keqiu said.

Immediately, Zhe Keqiu brought a few guards with him and headed towards the garden in the Residence of Zhuo. When they arrived inside the garden, Zhe Keqiu ordered the guards to stop as he strode into the garden.

The garden was white with snow, on the ground, on the walls, on the branches!

In this pure white snow, a woman was standing in front of a table! There was Xuan paper on the table, with ink and paper on top. Beside him were a few maids holding umbrellas as they waited upon him!

The woman was wearing the White House uniform of the Moon. At this moment, she was painting with her head lowered!

Zhe Keqiu walked over to the lady's side with light footsteps. He did not disturb the lady and waited for her to finish painting!

After a quarter-hour passed, the girl finally stopped. She raised her head and asked with some surprise, "Father, when did you arrive?"

Zhe Keqiu's voice was gentle as he said, "I just entered the garden and saw you drawing. I was just watching from the side!"

The woman smiled and said, "Father, do you like my painting?"

The picture was of a vast, white world, with occasional weeds in the snow. It looked exceptionally desolate! There was a man in his fifties wearing a set of armor and riding a horse. He had his hands on his bow and was shooting arrows with a cold gaze, looking extremely mighty, who else could he be other than Zhe Keqiu?

This painting was so lifelike that it could be considered a good painting! Beside the painting, there was even a poem that read "If you want to ride a light horse, the snow will cover your bow and blade"!

Zhe Keqiu's face revealed a pleased smile, and said: This drawing is too good, I want to keep it, and keep it well!

The woman laughed sweetly and said, "This is just something that my daughter casually drew, it's not worth collecting! If father wants to collect all his treasures, then I will spend half a month's time painstakingly painting for father. That is the only way! "

Zhe Keqiu let out a soft sigh, and said: "It's already very good already! Very good! "

Unknowingly, Zhe Keqiu suddenly felt very guilty! His daughter, who was in her forties, was extremely fond of her! It could be said that the amount of love he had for his two sons was not even equal to that of his two daughters! He had never thought of using his daughter as a 'tool' before! But ever since he had come to the Middle Han Area and harbored the thought of taking the son of heaven for the duke, he had wanted to use his daughter as a tool twice already! Last time, he wanted to marry his daughter to Curved End's son, but Curved End didn't agree! Now, he wanted to marry his daughter to a trash Emperor! Everything he did was for his own power, but could he use his daughter as a tool for power?

"What's wrong, Daddy?" The woman asked curiously.

"Nothing... "It's nothing..." Zhe Keqiu suddenly felt that his eyes were moist!

No matter what, he was still a person, and he still had some normal feelings! Before, when he was together with Zhe Yanwen, he could talk about his daughter without restraint, and could use his daughter as a tool without any shame! But at this moment, when he was truly facing his daughter, the weakest part of his heart was moved. At this moment, he actually couldn't help it!

He wiped his eyes with his hand and laughed, "Snow is falling into my eyes, my eyes are blurring!"

The woman laughed and said: "I'm afraid that father is busy with national affairs, so his eyes are sore! Father, ever since we came to the Middle Han Area, the number of times we have met has been decreasing! You can't just worry about national affairs and not care about your daughter, right? "

Zhe Keqiu forced out a smile, "How is that possible? You are father's flesh and blood. In father's heart, nothing is more important than you! "

The woman laughed and said, "That's for the best! Daddy, the snow is getting heavier. Let's go back! "

Zhe Keqiu nodded, and said: "Alright!"

He had wanted to talk about marriage with his daughter, but it was difficult for him to say it now!

The father and daughter pair then walked out of the garden, and the maidservants stayed behind to clear the tables!

Zhe Keqiu did not say anything along the way. After walking for a while, the woman asked in a strange tone, "Daddy, what's wrong with you today?"

Zhe Keqiu pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said: "Yue Ru, I have something important to tell you!"

So the name of this woman's room was Zheyue Ru! Immediately, Zheyue Ru nodded, looked at Zhe Keqiu with his glittering eyes, and said: "If Daddy wants to say something, just say it!"

Zhe Keqiu stopped and said, "Yue Ru, you aren't young anymore! You're already sixteen this year, you're already a big girl! The daughter of another family, when she was your age, she was already married! "

Zheyue Ru asked: "Does father want to discuss marriage matters with my daughter?"

Zhe Keqiu said: "That's right!"

Zheyue Ru was silent for a moment, and then said softly, "Father, marriage has always been the order of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker.

Zheyue Ru's white face flushed red. She turned her face to the side, and only after a long time did she finally speak in an extremely low voice: "Your daughter likes tall and big, handsome and mighty, like father, a young man who can control horses and horses! Your daughter does not want those weak scholars! "

Zhe Keqiu's heart was in great pain. He sighed once again and said: "Your father has found you a marriage set, and in the future, he will definitely be your good wife!"

Zheyue Ru was extremely embarrassed, and said: "Daddy, don't say anymore! "From ancient times until now, it has always been Father and Mother's order. Since Father has decided on it, I shall obey!"

Zhe Keqiu clenched his teeth, he still decided to tell his daughter everything, and said: "That person is the current emperor!"

"What?" Zheyue Ru was stunned!

Although she had been staying in the Residence of Zhuo all year round and rarely left, being the standard daughter of this era's great family, she had never thought that person would be the emperor!

She had once heard people discussing the Emperor! When the dynasty's emperor was only 11 years old, it was fine for him to be young, but after hearing that the emperor liked to hunt, he would often stay outside all day. Besides hunting, the only other thing the emperor liked was to become a carpenter! The emperor was the only carpenter emperor in both ancient and modern times. The commoners outside were all laughing at the emperor! Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined that the 'good match' her father mentioned would actually be the current emperor! She wasn't willing to marry such a despicable Emperor! This emperor was definitely not some 'good match'!

Her marriage was decided by her father like this, and her future husband was actually a humorless emperor who only knew how to eat, drink, and play. For a moment, Zheyue Ru felt as if her heart was about to break, and her body trembled slightly!

"Yue Ru, I was forced to do this as well!" Seeing her daughter's face turn pale, Zhe Keqiu explained with a pained heart.

"Daddy, don't say anymore. Your son will obey!" Zheyue Ru remained silent for a long time before she suddenly spoke.

"Child, if you're really dissatisfied with me, then just say it. Daddy won't force you!" Zhe Keqiu sighed.

"Since father wants me to marry the Emperor, it must be for the future of my family! Father raised me, and my grace is higher than the heavens. How can a daughter go against Father's wishes! "My daughter started to study when she was young. The book said that she had gone from three to four virtues and had never married her father. This is a woman's virtue and my daughter understands this principle!" Zheyue Ru said.

"Sigh!" Don't worry, Daddy will definitely marry you out in all the glory! The Emperor was only young, but he was exceptionally intelligent! I heard from the guards that the Emperor is very kind to people! Furthermore, with me outside, he won't bully you! " Zhe Keqiu said.

"Yes, daughter understands!" "If there's nothing else, your daughter will be leaving first!" Zheyue Ru said.

As she spoke, she could not help but walk forward. At this moment, her tears were already pouring down! She was afraid that her father would see her losing her composure, so she decided to leave! However, as she was walking, her body swayed and she almost fell to the ground!

"Quickly go and look at the young mistress!" Zhe Keqiu did not bother to chase after him, and spoke to the few servants behind him, who immediately followed after him, not mentioning anything else.

Zhe Keqiu stood in the snow for a long time with his expression still struggling! However, after a while, he seemed to have come to a decision. He clenched his fists tightly and his eyes became firm once more!

"Sacrificing a daughter for the sake of my future is nothing! If my Zhuo Family can occupy the Central Plains in the future, I want to make sure that everyone remembers Yue Ru's sacrifice for my Zhuo Family! The little emperor is indeed unable to bear it, but I will let him live a peaceful life! Forget it, let's go! There are a lot of national affairs these days, I have to deal with them properly! Once Middle Han Area and the Chuan Shu are stable, I will have to think about Guan Shan's matters! " Zhe Keqiu talked to himself for a while before he walked off into the distance.

Zhao Chen was working as a carpenter in the palace, and after seeing that there was no one around, he sneaked in!

"Quickly sit down and bring me the saw!" Zhao Chen said.

Kang An immediately took the saw and looked around, then said softly: "Your Majesty, didn't you say that you would listen to my suggestion and focus on handling the nation's affairs? Why are you still doing this? "

Zhao Chen hesitated for a moment, then said: "Even if I want to take care of national affairs, that is impossible!"

"Impossible?" Kang An was startled, and said: "Your Majesty said that Zhe Keqiu does not allow you to take care of national affairs? That's right! "That's the principle!"

"I didn't say anything!" Zhao Chen laughed.

"Your Majesty, I understand!" Kang An said.

"What do you understand?" Zhao Chen said.

"His Majesty was forced to become a carpenter!" Kang An said.

"Actually, I really like being a carpenter!" Zhao Chen laughed again.

Kang An was at a loss for what to do, and did not know Zhao Chen's true intentions! However, he faintly felt that his majesty had been forced by Zhe Keqiu to such a state! When he thought of how the emperor was neither willing to handle the affairs of the kingdom nor be an enlightened ruler, but had no other choice, he suddenly felt much more at ease! He was not afraid of the difficult path ahead. Since he had chosen to go against Zhe Keqiu, he had decided to walk the same path until he was out of luck. Now he had no path to turn back to. Now, he finally understood that the emperor wasn't an idiot. His face was filled with smiles!

"Your majesty, the news has spread, Zhe Keqiu wants to betroth his daughter to your majesty, and have his daughter become the Queen!" Kang An said again.

"What?" This time, Zhao Chen was truly shocked!

Inside the palace, other than Kang An, there was no one else who would tell him the news from the outside. As a result, he did not know about this matter at all!

"Your Majesty, Zhe Keqiu wants to become the nation's head! Your Majesty, you are still young. If he were to become the country leader, then he would be able to administer the affairs of the nation with even more justice! " Kang An said.

Zhao Chen secretly thought about Zhe Keqiu's thoughts as he pondered about Kang An's thoughts! In his view, for Kang An to analyze such a secretive matter for him, and say that he was a spy sent by Zhe Keqiu, that was impossible!

"What kind of person is Zhe Keqiu's daughter?" Zhao Chen thought for a moment, and said.

"Zhe Keqiu's daughter is very famous in the Northwest. He used to be a famous talented girl in the Northwest, proficient in all kinds of zither, chess, calligraphy and painting! Before the female true spirit had invaded, countless families in the Northwest had proposed to Zhe Keqiu, but after hearing that Zhe Keqiu cherished his daughter, he had never allowed his daughter to marry anyone! Right now, Zhe Keqiu's daughter was already sixteen years old, and was going to be seventeen next year. This humble official originally thought that he would marry his daughter off to a suitable family, but who would have thought that he would instead use his daughter as a tool to marry into His Majesty's family! " Kang An said.

"Understood!" Zhao Chen nodded.

"Your majesty must reject Zhe Keqiu, and cannot let Zhe Keqiu bring your daughter to the Imperial Palace!" Kang An said.

"Why should I refuse?" Zhao Chen said indifferently!

Zhao Chen said as he continued to work as a carpenter. He was carving a small wooden attic, the attic was extremely exquisite. Seeing that he was wholeheartedly working as a carpenter, Kang An was anxious and uneasy at the same time!
