Cai Yan, who is sixteen years old this year, has not fully grown up. Although it lacks a bit of mature woman's charm, it is better than being pure and lovely and having a dignified and virtuous bookish atmosphere.

And today she is wearing a specially made red wedding robe, which also appropriately sets off the unique calligraphy and noble taste of Cai Yan. Especially her well-designed hairstyle, which coiled up her long hair, which was originally silky. The curve of the long neck is exposed. In this way, it is a little more feminine, just like a beautiful girl. It's not the same underage girl anymore.

However, when Cai Yan suddenly took off his wedding robe, Ma Chao realized: No matter what kind of robe, what kind of hairstyle, what kind of temperament a woman is, she is the most beautiful only when she is not wearing clothes.

The wide wedding robe and the usual Confucian robe have always made Ma Chao think that Cai Yan is an airport. But now, he admits that his vision still needs to be cultivated - Cai Yan is sixteen years old this year after all, and he was born in a big family, although his body development is not yet complete, but his nutrition has already kept up - looking at the bulging arc of his belly, Ma Chao estimated that Cai Yan should be about the same size as Han Ying's little girl, just the perfect shape that one hand can cover.

And now she has a hibiscus-like face with light makeup. The lips, which were originally a little lacking in blood, were a little more red. And on the cheeks, a touch of blush caused by anger and shame made the girl's shy beauty undoubted.

"Husband....... Is Cai Yan good-looking? Cai Yan has been sincere to Ma Chao for a long time, although the etiquette and religion have made her a little unable to let go. But being stimulated by Ma Chao just now, it was a bit of a ruin.

"Good-looking ......." At this time, apart from answering like this, what else could Ma Chao say?

"But ......" Cai Yan seemed to hesitate for a while, but said something that made Ma Chao feel a headache!

"But...... I know, I'm not as good as Sister Cicada. Even, not even that 10,000-year-old princess. ”

This sentence was said with great urgency, and it was obviously a long, long thought that had been held in Cai Yan's heart for a long, long time! Especially Cai Yan added a sentence later: "Even, among these people, I am still the most useless one." Sister Han allows you to stop worrying about Han Sui in Liangzhou, and can also help you train nurses; And Sister Cicada is your eye, her intelligence and resourcefulness are almost no less than the strategists under you. ”

To be honest, after hearing these words, the desire in Ma Chao's heart has disappeared cleanly: Women are like this, they care about places that usually your man can't think of, and when you don't want to answer the most, you suddenly ask.

As a result, Ma Chao sighed leisurely and wrapped Cai Yan in joy. I must have it in my heart, and then I decided to simply tell all my thoughts today, so as not to worry about this Cai Yan, who is regarded as an eldest woman by herself, in the future.

"Yan'er, tonight, I'll tell you the truth." Ma Chao hugged the arm wrapped in Cai Yan's big red quilt tightly, and then smiled: "I admit that Liu Yue is indeed very beautiful...... Moreover, it is also very exciting. But you have to understand that this kind of 'heart' is completely different from my feelings for you. ”

Ma Chao carefully considered the tone and words, and deliberately avoided the topic of Diao Chan's beauty. Looking at Cai Yan's still somewhat dazed eyes, Ma Chao continued to smile gently: "You have to understand a man's mind, and it is every man's nature to be tempted by beauty. However, I have never expressed any favor to Liu Yue, do you know why? ”

"Because she was sent by His Majesty to entrap the Ma family?" Although Cai Yan doesn't understand politics, she hasn't followed Ma Chao for a day or two, and from Ma Chao's words, she has long guessed this conclusion.

"Yes, that's a major reason, but not a root cause." Speaking of this, Ma Chao suddenly sighed and said in a low voice: "Yun'er can be said to be the most useless person to me, and the things she does are something that every girl can do." However, in my heart, she has always been my wife. Because she truly loves me and I love her, just like you. Our relationship has long since turned into an invisible but strongest bond, so that that day in the dock, Yun'er still wanted to block the knife for me. And I also believe that if it were you, Diao Chan and Han Ying that day, you would all do that. ”

"Yes, I will." Hearing Ma Chao say that Yun'er revealed the sadness hidden in his heart, Cai Yan suddenly felt as if he had done something particularly wrong. But I didn't know how to save it, so I could only hug Ma Chao tightly and warm him with my body.

"Yes, you will. At the moment of life and death, I will do my best to protect you regardless of Yongzhou and family. Ma Chao seemed to have just woken up from Yun'er's thoughts, touched Cai Yan's face and said: "However, Liu Yue, she won't, and even, maybe, she will stab me in the back." Because, I have no relationship with her at all. ”

"Yun'er gave me everything, just want me to live well; Han Ying is too, although she stabilized Liangzhou for me, she wanted to fight with me on the battlefield and rely on each other; Diao Chan ...... Originally, she could be said to be a strong woman, but because of that blood roar, hehe, women are women......." Speaking of this, Ma Chao smiled again, but his face darkened after that, and he said in a deep voice:

"Now that the world is in turmoil, everyone thinks that I am beautiful, powerful, and a state. However, there is not a day that I don't feel stressed! I spend my days with the old fox and the little fox, and every day I discuss and bother with calculating and calculating. Calculate the princes of the Han family today, and calculate how to develop yourself tomorrow. Every day of hard work, there is no moment when the brain can rest and relax. ”

Ma Chao looked at Cai Yan's eyes, and his eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of pleading: "So, I need a home, a place where I can throw away all the troubles in my heart." At home, I can think about nothing and worry about nothing. Diao Chan understands this very well, she never talks to me about the shadows at home, except when it is very necessary. And you, on the other hand, can do better than her. Your intelligence, your elegance and tolerance, and your bookish atmosphere can make this home warmer, more harmonious, and more harmonious. ”

Saying this, Ma Chao actually needs some cheekiness. Fortunately, now that he was in the late Han Dynasty, he could impose these requirements on Cai Yan so openly, making her feel her existence and importance. Otherwise, in modern society, if you ask for this and that with your wife, you can only sleep on the sofa in exchange.......

"Liu Yue, she doesn't belong to this family, she has no relationship with me, and she can't give me any sense of peace of mind. Even though she may bring some help to the Ma family, it is only a political need. I need her status so that the Ma family can be recognized by the people of the Han Dynasty. And she married me just to maximize the interests of the royal family, and even wanted to bury the entire Ma family with her Han family. No matter how beautiful she is, I won't like her. Because I can't imagine what it would be like to live outside in the agony of calculating others and then calculating my own wife when I come back. ”

"So, marry me. It's not that you don't deserve me, it's that I treat you badly and won't be able to get it back for the rest of my life. Ma Chao ended with such a warm sentence. But later, he realized that it didn't seem to be enough.

Cai Yan listened to Ma Chao's story quietly, and seemed to have an understanding, so he was only slightly relieved, and then couldn't help but whisper: "But...... But you are very attractive to girls, I am afraid that you will marry a new person in the future, and forget about me, the old man. ”

Ma Chao was completely dumbfounded, because he found that he was completely defeated: no matter how clever he was, he couldn't fool a smart woman. Therefore, he changed his strategy, gently pinched Cai Yan's nose, and said with a smile: "Yan'er, whether you love or not is not clear, you still have to do it to understand." As long as you have Xiao Chao'er tonight, then who can shake your position in my heart? Saying that, Ma Chao laughed treacherously, and a bully threw Cai Yan down under him.

"Woo...... Ma Chao, you scoundrel! ”
