Chapter 81
Mrs. Jiang was idle and began to worry about Xiaoman's life in the palace in the future.
Intrigue is indispensable in the palace, and there are many ways to compete for favor. Even if Zhou Gongyu likes her, he will not be able to withstand the jealousy and hatred in the future.
Xiaoman was busy with the academy all day long, either helping students solve their difficulties or picking herbs with Lin Qiushuang. A few days ago, he rode a horse out for fun. Zhou Qiaoyu was even furious when he learned about this.
It seems that there is no enlightenment to become a princess, let alone worry about the marriage.
The queen's cousin named Xu Jinghao, who is a scholarly family from Jiangnan and a famous talented woman. She thought about going to their house to propose marriage for Jiang Susi, but Jiang Susi politely declined.
Compared with her, Xiaoman was not only better in appearance, but the rest were all under Xu Jing's good luck.
The queen naturally likes such a woman who is worthy of Zhou Gongyu's family background and identity, not to mention that she is still a concubine. She responded happily without asking Zhou Gongyu.
However, the emperor believed that the Crown Princess had not married yet and wanted to establish a concubine, which was a bit unworthy of Xiaoman's face and put aside the matter of establishing a concubine for the time being.
When Zhou Gongyu arrived, he discussed with the emperor and said that he would only marry Xiaoman, which made the queen very angry and pointed at him and scolded him.
The emperor was not so excited, but said with emotion: "I understand that you really like her and can't hold other women in your heart.
But since you are the prince, you must be able to bear this responsibility.
As long as you have her in your heart, since you want to be the crown princess, I believe you can understand you.
What's more, if you like today, you may not only love her in the future, and it cannot be said too early."
Zhou Gongyu knew what he meant, and said confidently: "As long as she is there, there will be no concubines next to him in the backyard."
The queen got angry, but the emperor didn't stop Zhou Gongyu much.
Now that he is talking about the promise of swearing, how many people can truly keep the vow? No matter how much he loves Concubine Hui, he must give enough face to the court officials and make it even more enjoyable.
Those ministers just talk about national affairs, but they have to take care of the emperor's bed. No matter how reluctant they are, they can't stand being talked about by them all day long.
Xu Jing learned that she was rejected, so she went to the East Palace with tears in her eyes, but was told that the prince was not there, and then she went to find the queen in tears.
When this incident reached Xiaoman's ears, she was learning to make pastries with the maids in the mansion, with flour on her face and hands.
Jiang Ruoruo was so anxious that he stood up for her: "You said what if the Queen agreed to her? Before you lived in the Eastern Palace, she wanted to go in first. How could she say this?
After all, he was from a famous family, so he was so embarrassed to act like this!"
Xiaoman responded twice, washed his hands calmly, and asked, "Your Highness the Crown Prince will not agree."
"If the Empress forced him to accept a concubine, you believe him so despicable, and you will not be sad to death when there are more women in the harem in the future."
Xiaoman seemed to think of the scene Ruoruo said, and his heart was a little sour, but he still said in a muffled voice: "He doesn't know how to do it now, he only likes me now."
She left in the future. If Zhou Qiaoyu met the woman she liked, she might be a little sad, but she still wanted him to be happy and healthy.
There was nothing we could do about it, there was no reason why she didn't want to stay with him and wouldn't let him fall in love with other women.
But at least now, there can be no one else around Zhou Gongyu.
"You just trust the prince so much?"
Jiang Ruoru said angrily.
Without waiting for Xiaoman to answer, Zhou Gongyu's voice sounded behind her.
"Of course she wants to believe me."
Xiaoman looked up and Zhou Gongyu stood at the gate of the courtyard, his eyes stopped on her, and said unquestionably: "I can't even remember her appearance, let alone let her step into the East Palace."
"I love you only in this world and marry you."
Such words would be so happy that the woman would hear them, but Xiaoman couldn't help but feel disappointed.
