Zong Zhigan paused, and obviously saw Princess Corning on the palace road.

This was probably the first time the two met since the Zong Zhigan’s marriage proposal.

Zong Zhigan turned around and said a few words to the people around him, then walked towards Jin Qiaoyan with such big strides. Jin Qiaoyan looked at the tall man who was walking towards him, step by step so firm and calm.

"Me, see Princess Corning." It was an extremely ordinary holiday, but Jin Qiaoyan blushed on the spot.

"Get up..." Jin Qiaoyan suppressed the tremor in her heart and walked down from the sedan chair.

"I have something to do with you." Jin Qiaoyan stood beside the sedan chair, looked up at Zong Zhigan and said, "I wonder if Lord Zong is free?"

"Yes." Zong Zhigan nodded calmly and calmly, and did not show any discomfort at Jin Qiaoyan.

Jin Qiaoyan nodded, turned around and walked to the imperial tower with Zong Zhigan.

Jin Qiaoyan walked in front, while Zong Zhigan maintained the etiquette of the monarch and his subjects.

Standing on the imperial city tower, Jin Qiaoyan stopped and turned around to look at Zong Zhigan. After looking at him for a while, he asked, "Master Zong asked the emperor to marry me?"

Zong Zhigan nodded calmly: "Yes."

"Do you like me?" Jin Qiaoyan asked bluntly and seriously, without any sense of a woman's shyness.

"The princess means..." Zong Zhigan did not answer directly, but looked down at Jin Qiaoyan.

"Did you ask the emperor to marry me because you like it?" Jin Qiaoyan continued to ask.

"No." Zong Zhigan shook his head very honestly: "I have no deep love for the princess, but it is my sincere intention to ask the emperor for marriage."

Jin Qiaoyan smiled helplessly. She had long guessed that this would be the answer. She pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Does that Lord Zong beg for marriage? Do you feel pity for me?"

Zong Zhigan frowned immediately: "Princess Corning misunderstood." Zong Zhigan looked at Jin Qiaoyan very seriously and said, "The promise I made in front of the emperor is not a joke. Although I have no love for the princess, I admire it very much."

"It's not a poor princess, Princess Corning doesn't need the pity of ministers."

"My name..." Zong Zhigan stuttered for a moment, not knowing what to answer.

"I really want to marry a princess. If the princess must marry, the princess might as well... consider me."

“…”

Zong Zhigan said too solemnly and dignified.

This really doesn't seem to be saying love words, but rather it seems to be reporting some task.

Jin Qiaoyan stared at Zong Zhigan so straightforwardly. After listening to his words for a while, she asked: "Master Zong, you marry me... a decision that you made after careful consideration?"

"Um."

"If I get married to me, I will be the only one who will not take a concubine?"

"yes."

"What can't be done?"

"The head on the neck is allowed to be taken by the princess."

Jin Qiaoyan bent a little bit of the corner of her mouth, and she always felt that the man's sweet words were the most trustworthy.

But at this moment, looking at Zong Zhigan and listening to the words he said, he actually believed it.

Jin Qiaoyan raised her hand and put the broken hair in her ears together, nodded calmly and said, "Well, this princess will think about it carefully."

After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving Zong Zhigan alone standing there, stunned, looking at Princess Corning's back as she left, I don't know what she was thinking.

It was indeed not a whim that he would make such a decision. Corning saved his life and regarded it as repaying his kindness. He always wanted to marry a wife. He was also serious about Princess Corning's promise, which could be considered compensation.
