Chapter 113 - Meeting
"Your majesty, Zhe Keqiu is ambitious, you can't agree to this!" said again after he stopped.
"Let me think!" Zhao Chen said.
"What else does Your Majesty want to say?" Kang An said.
Zhao Chen shook his head and did not say another word!
He went to the window and thought about this matter!
Firstly, in order to better control him, Zhe Keqiu could obtain the status of the Secretary of State. Secondly, Zhe Keqiu could henceforth replace the young emperor in the name of relatives to manage the affairs of the nation.
Logically speaking, he should not have agreed to this matter!
However, in Zhao Chen's opinion, it was impossible for him to reject them now!
This time, Zhe Keqiu had paid a huge "price" and made a huge "sacrifice". If Zhe Keqiu was really determined to marry his daughter to Zhao Chen, then Zhao Chen would not be able to change Zhe Keqiu's mind at all!
After a while, a trace of a cold smile appeared on Zhao Chen's face.
"What is His Majesty laughing about?" Kang An asked curiously.
"I am laughing at the Master Fold for paying such a great price this time! According to what you have said, his daughter is a well-known genius in the Northwest, and I am the one who would be smirked at by the common people. He is really willing to marry his daughter to me! " Zhao Chen said.
In the past few days, he had become more and more trusting towards Kang An, and he had actually unwittingly spoken the words in his heart!
"Your Majesty, for the sake of his own power, what does a daughter like Zhe Keqiu count as? His heart is vicious, so His Majesty must not agree to this matter! " Kang An said.
"Got it!" Zhao Chen nodded.
Kang An had thought that Zhao Chen had promised to not marry Zhe Keqiu's daughter, but he was immediately overjoyed.
"Zhe Keqiu, oh Zhe Keqiu, it's not enough to just give me a Lin Bao by my side, now you even want to push your daughter to my side! Hmph, if you want to give it to me, then I'll take it! All I can do right now is endure! When the time comes, I will return everything to you! " Zhao Chen secretly thought.
It was already deep into the night, and Zhao Chen was reading a Dao book, when Lin Bao walked in carrying the soup!
"Your Majesty, it is already deep in the night, this servant will bring you a bowl of ginseng soup! "You can go to sleep early after you drink it!" Lin Bao Dao.
Zhao Chen nodded his head. As he drank the ginseng soup, his gaze was focused on the dao book, as if he was extremely interested in it!
"Your Majesty, what is the meaning of this book? This humble subject will tell you some stories? " After a while, Lin Bao smiled and said.
"Good!" "When I'm tired, I'll lie on my bed and listen to your story!" Zhao Chen said.
Zhao Chen laid on the bed while Lin Bao slowly explained everything to him! Lin Bao was a scholar that came from a eunuch, and in his heart, he had actually recorded many legends!
Tonight, Lin Bao was actually telling the story of Zhang Sheng and Cui Ying Ying, which was also the most famous story in the future generations.
His eloquence was excellent, and he lectured very nicely. On the bed, Zhao Chen listened with relish!
If he did not hear Kang An's report in the morning, Zhao Chen would definitely not be able to guess Lin Bao's intentions! But now, compared to Kang An's morning speech, Zhao Chen immediately understood the purpose of Lin Bao's visit! A faint smile appeared on his face!
Lin Bao spoke of Zhang Sheng's and Cui Ying Ying's clandestine love affairs, where they made a private marriage. This part of the plot was the most exciting, Zhao Chen could not help but to say "Okay".
"Your Majesty, the scriptures of poetry say that a fair and graceful lady is to be bribed by a gentleman! A man would find it hard to resist a woman's beauty! " Lin Bao Dao.
"That's right!" Zhao Chen said.
"Has His Majesty ever had such thoughts?" Lin Bao Dao.
"What are you thinking?" Zhao Chen said.
"Did Your Majesty have any feelings for any woman?" Lin Bao said with a charming smile.
"Not really!" Zhao Chen shook his head.
As he lay in bed, he thought back to all those years of experience! In the modern world, he had secretly fallen in love with a few girls. However, at that time, he was in high school and his family discipline was extremely strict. He was not allowed to fall in love as a high school student! As for after he came to the Song Dynasty, he would either be escaping or on his way, or he would be patiently enduring in the palace, making all kinds of absurd moves to numb Zhe Keqiu, and he would not have time to interact with girls … The only exception would probably be A Yao! Thinking of A Yao, Zhao Chen's gaze suddenly became dejected!
"Actually, His Majesty can learn from Zhang Sheng and try to come into contact with some women!" Lin Bao said with a charming smile.
"I have never had the chance to come into contact with a woman in the palace!" Zhao Chen said.
"Your Majesty, this servant knows a woman who is exceptionally outstanding. Countless men outside are pursuing her! However, in this servant's opinion, how could those men outside be worthy of that woman? Only Your Majesty is worthy of her! " Lin Bao Dao.
"Oh? What woman? "He's that outstanding?" Zhao Chen said in shock.
He sneered inwardly, but his face still revealed a shocked expression!
"Your Majesty, this is the beloved daughter of Master Fold Zhe Keqiu! Master Fold's beloved daughter was extremely intelligent, and exceptionally beautiful. It was said that last year, when Miss Pinkie went to visit Hua Shan, she came to the foot of Hua Shan, and came out of the palanquin. There were a few men farming at the side of the road, and when they saw Miss Pinkie, they immediately stayed there. Your Majesty, why do you ask? " Lin Bao Dao.
"Why?" Zhao Chen said in shock.
"That's because the Miss Pinkie is too beautiful, so their minds were shocked by it. They stood there stunned for a long time without being able to wake up!" Lin Bao Dao.
"How could there be such a thing?" Zhao Chen laughed out loud!
"Your majesty, the scarier part is yet to come!" Lin Bao Dao.
"Terrifying?" Zhao Chen asked curiously.
"Yes, it's scary!" Miss Pinkie was too beautiful, she was originally going to the Hua Shan Emerald Cloud Palace to burn incense, all the way, all the men who saw her were stunned! Mount Hua was so steep that many men fell into the ravine! It is said that every time there is an incense stick in the Miss Pinkie, over a hundred men would fall into the ravine and die! " Lin Bao Dao.
"This …" Zhao Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry!
If he was an eleven-year-old man, he would have definitely been shocked to the extreme. Then, he would be extremely curious. He must meet this Miss Zhoujia who was as beautiful as a fairy! Then, Zhe Keqiu would slowly arrange the marriage between the two of them! Unfortunately, he wasn't an ordinary youth. He knew that Lin Bao was definitely speaking nonsense. How could there be a girl with such a beautiful appearance? However, even though he knew that Lin Bao was making it up, Zhao Chen had to admit that Lin Bao's making it up was too good! At this moment, regardless of whether Zhao Chen felt that the matter was real or fake, he still wanted to see Zhe Keqiu's daughter!
"Your Majesty, the Miss Pinkie's beauty is peerless, so countless men pursue her!" Lin Bao Dao.
"I would like to meet Miss Zhuo now!" Zhao Chen said.
From Zhao Chen's point of view, he simply could not reject Zhe Keqiu! If Zhe Keqiu really intended to arrange for his daughter to marry him, he wouldn't be able to resist at all! Since that was the case, they would agree to this matter! He wanted to see how beautiful this daughter of his was. Lin Bao was actually making up such a joke to deceive him! If everything went as expected, Zhe Keqiu's daughter should be extremely beautiful!
"Your Majesty, rest assured. This humble subject will arrange this matter for Your Majesty!" Lin Bao said with a charming smile.
"Good!" I'll leave this matter to you! " Zhao Chen laughed.
That night, within the House of Collapse, Zhe Keqiu's daughter, Zheyue Ru, was in a state of sleeplessness!
It was snowing heavily outside, and it was very warm inside the room, but Zheyue Ru felt cold all over, and her heart was also cold!
She didn't believe that her father was going to marry her off to an idiot! But since her father had already said so, she had no choice but to believe it!
"Father actually wants to marry me to a flunky monarch! The Dizzy Sovereign was only eleven years old now, but he would only be twelve next year! What is Father trying to do? "
"Father is the best person in the world, he must have his own considerations for what he does! He must be doing it for the future of our family! "
"If you are not married to a father, if you are married to a husband … Am I really going to marry that foppish monarch from now on? "
Her tears flowed for a long time before she finally fell asleep!
However, in the middle of the night, she woke up from her nightmare! In her dreams, she really did marry the Dumb Monarch. That Dumb Monarch was abnormally ugly. All he knew was how to be a carpenter, and he was both stupid and stupid! The fainted monarch was abnormally violent. He often beat and scolded her, but she could only endure! In the dream, the unconscious monarch had grabbed her by the neck. She kept struggling and screaming until she woke up from the dream!
After waking up, Zheyue Ru gasped for breath. Only then did she realise that her neck was a little tight, so she encountered a nightmare!
Her face was pale, and her eyes were dripping with tears!
She wanted to escape, but she knew she could not!
Ever since she was young, her father had invited many teachers to teach her countless things, the most important of which were her looks and virtue! Although she was only sixteen years old, she would never do anything that did not conform to her status. She would never do anything that a girl should not do! Marriage, the orders of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, these were all matters of the world! Since father has decided, daughter's family should accept fate! Married a chicken to a dog, and married a chicken to a dog. If she really did marry a unconscious monarch, then even if he strangled her to death, she would still resign herself to her fate! She had a heart full of talent and was proficient in all kinds of arts and calligraphy, but if she was unlucky, no matter how much talent she had, it would all be useless!
She could not help but kneel to the ground and silently close her eyes, praying to the heavens. Her gentle voice resounded within the room, "Bodhisattva bless you, father is well and healthy, the two elder brothers' lives are smooth sailing … Bodhisattva bless the moon as safe and sound, do not suffer disaster! Bodhisattva bless the future husband and will love and pamper Yue Ru! "
Just thinking of the "bleak" future, her tears fell again!
She choked on her sobs for a while before she finally went back to sleep! Unfortunately, he was still unable to sleep. When the sky lit up, Zheyue Ru put on his clothes and went to the window.
She stood by the window for a long time. After washing up, she brought the maidservants to the garden once again!
After arriving at the flower garden, Zheyue Ru started to draw again!
Someone placed the table on the snowy ground, someone took the ink and paper over! Someone will shield Zheyue Ru from the snow!
Zheyue Ru spread open the paper, thought for a long time, and then slowly began to write!
A patch of snow appeared in the painting. A few dried branches appeared in the painting. Then, a few red flowers appeared in the painting!
This was a Winter Plum Blazing Snow Diagram. Zheyue Ru wanted to use this painting to clarify her aspirations and show that she would be like a winter plum. Even if her future was extremely difficult, she would still stand proudly!
"What a beautiful scene!" Suddenly, a cheer sounded from the side!
