Chapter 114 - Meeting 2
Zheyue Ru turned her head and saw a youth standing in front of a table!
This young man was only 11 or 12 years old, but he was extremely handsome! Different from ordinary youths, his face was devoid of immaturity! His eyes were gentle yet firm, giving off a unique charm! Even though he was still young, he already had the conditions to make a girl's heart move for him!
At this moment, the teenager was concentrating on looking at the "Winter Plum Blossom Snow Diagram"!
"Who are you?" Zheyue Ru said in surprise.
She raised her head and looked at the surrounding maidservants with rebuking eyes! In the past, unless it was her father or brother who entered the garden when she was painting, the maidservants would always remind them! But today, when this youth entered the garden, none of the maidservants reminded her of anything!
"I am a good friend of Master Fold Zhe Keqiu!" This youth was naturally Zhao Chen, and he was smiling at the moment.
Zhao Chen stood at the side and praised Zheyue Ru's beauty in his heart. As expected, her reputation was well-deserved! What Lin Bao said yesterday was partially correct. This Zheyue Ru truly had a magic that could stun all the men in the world!
The moment Zhao Chen entered the garden, he saw Zheyue Ru. At that time, he felt that Zheyue Ru was a painting! She was like a woman from a painting! However, even the most outstanding painter in the world would find it hard to create such a beautiful painting in his lifetime! Now that Zheyue Ru was laughing, Zhao Chen felt that her entire body was filled with Spirit Qi, it was as if all the Spirit Qi in the world was in her body!
At this moment, everything around her seemed to have become lifeless. Only she was still alive! Everything around her had lost its color, and only her body was covered in colourful colors!
Zhao Chen's determination was firm, but at this moment in time, standing here, he surprisingly felt a tinge of inferiority! This was the first time he had felt this way ever since he had come to this era to become the crown prince and the emperor! Of course, this feeling disappeared in an instant! Although he was just a puppet, as an emperor, he naturally had the arrogance of an emperor! In front of an Emperor, any woman, no matter how beautiful they were, or how beautiful they were, was nothing more than a woman, a subject under their rule! As an emperor, he didn't need to feel inferior in front of any girls! No woman had the qualifications to cause the Emperor to feel inferior!
Seeing that Zhao Chen was calm while facing her, Zheyue Ru once again revealed a surprised expression!
She had been beautiful since she was young, and when she was fourteen years old, she was as beautiful as a hibiscus! Although she had always stayed in her room, she had occasionally seen other men. Those men that saw her were all godly. There was never an exception to this! It was her first time seeing someone like Zhao Chen! For a moment, Zheyue Ru's heart once again praised Zhao Chen! This little youth was truly different from the others. His bearing was not bad!
"Miss Pinkie's drawing is excellent! You drew the purity of the snow and the pride of Plum! " Zhao Chen looked at the painting and spoke with confidence.
"Oh? Do you even know painting? " Zheyue Ru said in shock.
"Of course I understand!" Zhao Chen said.
Zhao Chen immediately brought up his own insights, he thought that this painting was superb enough, but it seemed to still be lacking in terms of painting!
Back when he was in the Kaifeng Palace, he had read many books, and this included the knowledge of the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting! Afterwards, when they were on their way to escape from Kaifeng, Li Gang taught him a lot of knowledge. Most of it was about governing a country, but there was also a portion of knowledge related to zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. In Li Gang's opinion, as an emperor, naturally, Zhao Chen was extraordinary, far surpassing ordinary people in every aspect. Thus, he naturally had to teach Zhao Chen in every aspect! Zhao Chen also knew that his country was ruined and he couldn't slack off in everything he did.
At that moment, Zhao Chen had explained all of Li Gang's insights, causing Zheyue Ru to be extremely shocked! The young man in front of him was only eleven or twelve years old, yet he actually knew so much about these things. He was just too young!
"Since ancient times, literati have loved to write poems and paintings related to Meixue! Meixian three white snow, but the snow lost a piece of plum incense! Meixue was the most beautiful thing in the world! If everything in the world can be like Mei Xue, then that would be great! " Zhao Chen said.
"Meixian three white snow, the snow lost a piece of plum incense! Well said! " Zheyue Ru said softly.
"He's really talented!" Zheyue Ru secretly thought.
After a while, Zheyue Ru raised the brush and actually touched the painting with the poem!
Zheyue Ru bowed her head as she wrote. Zhao Chen, on the other hand, was secretly sizing up Zheyue Ru!
At this moment, Zhao Chen's heart only had one word — delicate and pretty, refined and refined!
Exquisite, beautiful beyond compare!
Zhao Chen would never have thought that Zheyue Ru was actually such a woman! One had to know, she was Zhe Keqiu's daughter, so she should have inherited Zhe Keqiu's "outstanding" qualities, such as her hobby of power, vicious thoughts, and more! But at this moment, Zhao Chen could not see any signs of "hatred for power" or "malice in her heart" at all. Instead, he felt that this woman was abnormally pure, just like the snow on the ground!
This was a kind of purity that he had never seen before. No woman had ever given him this kind of feeling! Of course, it was not only the girls, the men and women that he had met before added together could not compare to Zhe Keqiu's daughter in terms of purity!
"Zhe Keqiu is incomparably vicious, his daughter is actually such a person! How strange! Yesterday, I thought that Zhe Keqiu sent his daughter to the Imperial Palace, on one hand, to become the Secretary of State, and on the other hand, to send his daughter to watch over me! But from the looks of it now, the later thoughts were wrong! For a girl like her to spy on me, wouldn't that be like having a meat bun beating a dog? " Thinking about it, a smile appeared on Zhao Chen's face.
Zheyue Ru finished her inscription, but just as she was about to say something, footsteps came from outside!
The two of them looked outside and saw a man walking into the garden. He was tall and big, with a beard that was a bit gray, who else could he be other than Zhe Keqiu?
"We pay our respects to Your Majesty!" Zhe Keqiu walked with large strides to the front of Zhao Chen, and knelt on the ground, as he said.
"Let my beloved one rise!" Zhao Chen said.
"What?" Your Majesty? " Zheyue Ru was stunned!
Only after a long while did Zheyue Ru once again turn her gaze to Zhao Chen, and her eyes revealed a trace of disbelief!
This humble one Zheyue Ru greets Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! " Zheyue Ru immediately knelt down in the snow and said softly.
Her voice was abnormally soft, as if she was gently taking care of something. This kind of voice was extremely moving!
"Hurry and rise! Actually I was rude, I heard that Miss Pinkie is good at painting, and was drawing in the garden today, so I quietly walked over to watch elder sister painting! " Zhao Chen laughed.
Hearing the word "sister", Zheyue Ru's face suddenly turned red! Originally, her skin was exceptionally white, but at this moment, two red clouds appeared on her face, making her look especially beautiful. Zhao Chen's expression could not help but freeze!
But very quickly, Zhao Chen recovered! He had experienced too many storms and waves in the past few years. He had seen countless people! Even though he had lost his composure, it only lasted for a short while!
Seeing that Zhao Chen had lost his composure, Zhe Keqiu's eyes revealed a look of joy. It seems it is good that the emperor has set his sights on his daughter!
"Why didn't Your Majesty tell this humble subject when he came to the Residence of Zhexiu? Your Majesty, it's snowing outside, let's go take a seat in the room! " Zhe Keqiu said.
"Alright!" Zhao Chen smiled and nodded.
Immediately, Zhe Keqiu took the lead and walked forward, Zhao Chen followed along, Zheyue Ru clenched her teeth, and followed along!
The three of them sat down in the room and someone immediately served them tea!
Zhao Chen sat there and looked at the things in the room! The room was decorated in an exceptionally luxurious manner. However, this luxurious atmosphere was not explosively luxurious, but elegantly luxurious! Just by looking at the arrangement here, one could tell that the deceitful Zhe Keqiu had a taste that surpassed ordinary people! Since he could become a traitor, he naturally could not be a completely ordinary person! A completely mediocre person was not qualified to be a traitor!
Seeing Zhao Chen looking around, Zhe Keqiu did not mind. The emperor was young and curious, it was certain that he would look around!
"Next time Your Majesty comes, I must have someone inform this humble subject. This humble subject must prepare well and receive Your Majesty well!" Zhe Keqiu said.
"I just suddenly wanted to take a look. It's nothing much, there's no need to treat me specially!" Zhao Chen laughed.
"Your majesty must have yet to have his meal, this humble servant will get someone to prepare it for you!" Zhe Keqiu said.
"No need! I'll go back to the palace later! My dear sir, I have been thinking about the affairs of the nation for the past few days. I feel that Nvzhen is the most threatening one! Tell me, is it possible for Nvzhen to head south this year? " Zhao Chen said.
"It's impossible for the Nvzhen to head south! They just left this spring, so they'll have to rest for a while! Furthermore, they had taken over Hebei, Hedong and other lands. The citizens of various places all resisted, so the Nvzhen was in no condition to go south. This humble official sent someone to the north to investigate, but did not hear any news of the female army being mobilized! " Zhe Keqiu said.
If Zhao Chen were to talk about other national affairs, Zhe Keqiu would definitely become cautious! But since Zhao Chen was talking about the Nvzhen at the moment, Zhe Keqiu was not surprised about it! Earlier on in the Tongguan, Zhe Keqiu had discovered that Zhao Chen was "as timid as a mouse", and he was exceptionally terrifying to the Nvzhen! Later on the road of escape, Zhao Chen fled for his life. In the Dazhang Pass, when Zhao Chen heard the news about the Nvzhen, his entire body trembled and he was unable to say anything! As a result, news of Zhao Chen being concerned about the Nvzhen was extremely normal!
Sure enough, Zhao Chen's face revealed a "relaxed" expression! Seeing this expression, Zhe Keqiu also relaxed!
The two of them discussed the national affairs for a while, it was basically all related to the Nvzhen!
Zheyue Ru sat at the side. She did not dare to raise her head to look at Zhao Chen, nor did she dare to carefully ponder over the national affairs the two had discussed! Although she was only 16 years old, but just as Lin Bao had said yesterday, her "virtuous and virtuous virtue" was the most standard of beauties in this era! In her opinion, the only reason why a girl could live in this world was because she wanted to teach her husband and wife a lesson! No matter how talented or intelligent a woman was, she absolutely could not participate in national affairs! As such, she used her left ear to eavesdrop on their conversation! She didn't even dare to keep these details in her heart! Forced himself to forget!
After the two of them discussed for a while, Zhao Chen got up. Zhe Keqiu and Zheyue Ru escorted Zhao Chen to the entrance of the folding estate, and Zhao Chen left with a group of guards protecting him!
"Yueru, what do you think of His Majesty?" Zhe Keqiu turned his head to look at Zheyue Ru, and laughed.
"His Majesty is young and handsome, mature and mature. His actions are gentle, and his knowledge is profound!" While talking, Zheyue Ru's face suddenly flushed red!
"Then, this marriage is decided! Father will definitely facilitate this marriage and allow you to marry the Emperor! " Zhe Keqiu laughed loudly.
From Zhe Keqiu's perspective, even though Zhao Chen was a trash, he was after all, from the Imperial Family! As the first grandson of Song Huizong, as well as the first son of Song Chin Zong, Zhao Chen received a very good education from the imperial family since he was young. Of course, the little Emperor was like a piece of gold, a piece of jade that had been trashed inside. There was no need to explain further!
At this moment, Zheyue Ru was both shy and happy. Yesterday, she was still sad and in pain, especially that dream last night where the little emperor in the dream was ugly to the extreme, violent to the extreme, and rough to the extreme. What she saw today, the little emperor wasn't like that at all! Comparing the two of them had a huge mental impact on her! She originally didn't agree to this marriage, but now she actually sincerely agreed to it!
