Chapter 264: Marriage
"What's going on with his eyes?" Hearing Zhuang Mingyue's anxious voice, Sanqing slowly turned his head.
"It's okay, it's fine. It's just that when I was fighting with the gangsters, I was hit by some ** scattered, which hurt my eyes a little. I was able to recover after a few days of rest. ”
Knowing that Long Yuanxiu was fine, Zhuang Mingyue relieved herself. During the time that Long Yuanxiu was in a coma, she was also in her true mood.
"Then I'll stay and take care of him." Zhuang Mingyue didn't know why she blurted out such a sentence, but it was difficult to collect it, and she couldn't take back what she said.
Long Yuanxiu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled softly, "Wow." I'm still worried that Dr. Sanqing, a big man, doesn't take care of him carefully enough. ”
Knowing that this person had seen through her thoughts, Zhuang Mingyue blushed. But I don't know what to say.
Caixia glanced at the inexplicable atmosphere between the two, and also felt a little embarrassed, "Since that's the case, then I'll step back first." So saying, she withdrew from the house.
Sanqing originally planned to stay in the house and continue to observe Long Yuanxiu's condition, but when he turned his head, he found that Caixia's girl was constantly squeezing her eyebrows at him. I knew her intentions.
"I still have some herbs that haven't been cooked." With that, he got up and walked out of the house with Caixia.
The two people in the room didn't say anything. It was Zhuang Mingyue who broke the deadlock first, "Are you thirsty?" Why don't I pour you a glass of water first? ”
Seeing that Long Yuanxiu didn't react, she got up and walked to the table and poured a glass of water. Then I heard a faint sentence from behind me, "Did you cry for me last night?" ”
Zhuang Mingyue's hand paused for a moment, and finally resolutely denied what he said, "No, you are wrong." ”
Seeing Zhuang Mingyue, who was still holding on even so, Long Yuanxiu was very happy in his heart. He felt that this was Zhuang Mingyue's performance that he cared about him.
"Maybe I misheard it last night."
Such an awkward relationship between the two lasted for more than ten days. Although Zhuang Mingyue didn't admit it, she gradually understood what she thought in her heart.
She knew that she was moved by Long Yuanxiu this time. But seeing Long Yuanxiu's appearance that he already knew her intentions and had to tease her, Zhuang Mingyue didn't want to admit his intentions.
Until one day, Long Yuanxiu suddenly asked, "If I can't see with this eye for the rest of my life, will you always take care of me?" ”
This sentence suddenly touched Zhuang Mingyue's heart. For so many days, he was willing to take care of Long Yuanxiu, not because he wanted to get anything in return.
Although she didn't know when this relationship began, she was very sure that she was now in Xinyue Long Yuanxiu.
"Don't think about it, your eyes will be fine." She walked over to Long Yuanxiu's bed and said softly.
"But you know that my injuries are very serious, and they can't recover in a day or two." Zhuang Mingyue nodded, and looked at Long Yuanxiu's eyes and said very firmly, "As long as your injuries can recover, I will consider the marriage of the two of us." ”
Seeing Zhuang Mingyue face the two of them like this for the first time shocked Long Yuanxiu. At the same time, he also understood that Zhuang Mingyue was serious this time.
"Well, don't forget what you said today."
About ten days later,
Long Yuanxiu's injuries had recovered a lot, and his eyes were able to open.
In the days since their departure, many changes have taken place in the DPRK and China. If we continue to stay, I am afraid that there will be more dangers.
In desperation, Long Yuanxiu and Zhuang Mingyue left Sanqing's residence and returned to the palace.
As soon as they returned to the palace, the little man at the door hurried in. Long Yuanxiu saw him like this and scolded him in a low voice, "Why are you in such a hurry." ”
"Second Highness, the queen sent someone to urgently edict you to enter the palace."
The news spread quickly, and as soon as they arrived at the palace emperor, they sent someone. It seems that someone is really watching them in the dark.
"You tell the father-in-law outside, saying that I will clean up and go to see the queen."
Seeing the little guy nodding and walking out of Wu Zhong, Zhuang Mingyue turned around and asked with concern: "It seems that the other party is not good, you must be more careful when you go." ”
He nodded, knowing what the people beside him were worried about, "Don't worry, with the emperor here, they don't dare to be presumptuous." ”
Long Yuanxiu originally thought that he was summoned to the palace this time because the emperor wanted to ask him what he had been doing these days. But when he arrived at the palace, he realized that his idea was very wrong.
The palace was very lively, and many ministers and young ladies from the family came to the palace. Seeing this scene, Long Yuanxiu had an ominous premonition in his heart.
When he came to the court, he found that there were not only the emperor and the empress, but also many princes waiting in the hall.
Moreover, many famous families are also waiting in their seats. As soon as Long Yuanxiu entered the door, everyone cast a shocked expression.
In the days since his disappearance, there have been rumors among the people that His Second Highness was assassinated by the Assassins. Everyone present also thought that Long Yuanxiu had encountered something wrong, but now that this person appeared in the court hall in a dignified manner, they all cast scrutinizing eyes.
"Xiu'er is here. I've done a good job of the tasks I've given you these days. ”
Long Yuanxiu knew that this was the emperor who was giving him the steps, "Back to my father, the southern insect plague has been controlled." It's just that the absence of the ministers these days has given some vicious people an opportunity. ”
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Long Zhengning. However, Long Zhengning's concentration is very strong, and he does not show anything wrong at all.
I saw that the emperor smiled, and he didn't want them to provoke disputes between the princes. "Come on, Xiu'er, there is an important matter to announce by allowing you princes to gather here today."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at the queen with a smile in his eyes. The queen nodded and stood up from her seat, "The prince who will be re-elected is gathered here today in order to select someone who is suitable to become the princess. ”
Long Yuanxiu was shocked, she thought of many possibilities, but she didn't expect that the queen would blow this kind of wind in her ears to destroy the relationship between him and Zhuang Mingyue.
Long Zhengning also frowned, what he liked now was Zhuang Mingyue, so he didn't want to seal other princesses yet.
The ministers present also applauded, and they wanted to find a champion for themselves as soon as possible.
The ladies of each family also blushed, after all, whether it was Long Yuanxiu or Long Zhengning, they were both famous handsome young men in the capital.
"All the princes are of age, especially His Royal Highness and Second Highness, which is really anxious, so I discussed it with the emperor
Next, it was decided to select concubines for the princes today. ”
Long Yuanxiu clenched his fists. I didn't expect the queen to deal with him in this way, and I was extremely angry in my heart, but I couldn't do anything about it.
What he didn't expect was that at this time, Long Zhengning stood up, "Father, the son thinks this matter is inappropriate." The princes and I have not yet completed the mission of the country, and we don't want to dwell too much on the relationship between children and daughters. ”
"Your Highness, ordinary children will hinder Your Highness's ambitions, but this princess is different from ordinary women. It will definitely be of great help to His Highness. ”
Hearing the queen's words, the surrounding ministers also nodded, the title of crown princess was extremely attractive to them, and they couldn't wait to marry their daughter quickly.
In fact, the queen knew that if she provoked these two princes at the same time, there would be no good fruit to eat.
"Since His Royal Highness has such ambitions, it is better to choose a concubine for His Royal Highness who does not have much official business on weekdays."
Hearing this, Long Zhengning breathed a sigh of relief, but Long Yuanxiu was even more reluctant in his heart.
"Empress, this..." Before he could say anything, he was stopped by the emperor, "Xiu'er, there are so many daughters here, don't let them down." ”
At this time, the emperor didn't know Long Yuanxiu's sincerity. I just wanted to help him choose a suitable assistant.
The emperor opened his mouth, and he had no other way to say anything.
The queen looked around with satisfaction, and then fixed her eyes on Vice Envoy Chen and his daughter who were sitting in the corner.
"I have long heard that Deputy Envoy Chen's daughter is in love with the country and the city, and she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Deputy Envoy Chen's official rank is not high, and now when he heard the queen's loss, he was flattered and stood up from his chair, "The queen praises falsely, the little girl is still far from the daughters here." ”
As he spoke, he pulled his daughter up from the seat next to him. And Zhuang Mingyue, who had been sitting next to Long Yuanxiu and did not speak, also noticed the daughter of Deputy Envoy Chen at this time.
Although this girl does have a bit of beauty, it is not considered to be a country and a city. Zhuang Mingyue thought to herself, this is the queen deliberately looking for them.
That Deputy Chen's daughter didn't care about anything else, just looked shy, and her eyes kept glancing at Long Yuanxiu. It seems that she is indeed attracted to Long Yuanxiu as well.
"This queen deliberately didn't let us live in peace. She wants to embarrass you by finding someone with such a low official rank to marry. ”
Of course, Long Yuanxiu understood the queen's intentions, but he had no reason to refuse, after all, he and Zhuang Mingyue had not really established a relationship, and in the eyes of outsiders, Long Yuanxiu really needed an imperial concubine.
Seeing this, the surrounding ministers also laughed. Although this second highness is loved by the emperor, he is idle on weekdays and is not favored by the ministers.
Now it is very obvious that the queen is targeting this second highness. With this kind of appearance in the world, they naturally know who they should stand behind them.
"Queen, this is not good to you. A while ago, you made a lot of contributions, and many ministers in the court respected you. I'm afraid the queen is taking this opportunity to discourage you. ”
Her sullen appearance made Long Yuanxiu very unhappy when he saw it.
Immediately afterwards, Zhuang Mingyue suddenly thought of an idea.
