Quick Wear: Sweet! Hug my gentle male partner

Chapter 39: Back to the Tyrant's Childhood

Jiang Ning originally thought that this was just the secret feelings of the two little girls.

I didn't expect that her plan was to marry into the Prince's Mansion.

The New Year's Eve banquet was originally harmonious until a minister spoke up.

"Your Majesty, now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is young and strong, it's time for him to get some concubines and maids, so that he can have more children for the royal family sooner!"

When this man said this, most of the ministers echoed him.

After all, almost every family has a daughter.

She is a concubine now, but when the prince ascends the throne, she will be an empress!

These ministers, who usually quarreled over trivial matters, rarely united their front.

"Master Wang is right."

"Yes, logically speaking, we should have kept some concubines first."

"Spreading branches and leaves is the top priority!"

……

Jiang Ning paused while picking up the food.

Okay, she asked why there were so many girls of marriageable age here today.

The county ladies and young ladies who usually never left the house are now dressed more beautifully than each other.

When she first arrived at the table today, she had whispered to Gu Zhaojin, saying that the climate and soil in the capital city were just right for nourishing people, and that each of these young ladies was so beautiful.

I didn't expect that they were all heading for the backyard of the Prince's Mansion.

Jiang Ning pretended not to hear and continued to struggle with the delicious food in front of him.

The foot covered by the long table just lightly touched Gu Zhaojin's foot.

Gu Zhaojin turned and looked at her in confusion: "What's going on?"

Jiang Ning smiled and whispered, "Aren't you going to express your opinion?"

Gu Zhaojin raised his head and looked at the ministers on the field who were talking one after another, expressing their concerns about the royal family.

Then he lowered his head, picked up a piece of braised fish, carefully picked out the bones, and put it in the ginger and lemon bowl.

He looked at Jiang Ning, who was obviously watching the fun, with a little helplessness: "Eat yours."

Naturally, their interaction could not escape the attention of those who had been secretly observing them.

There were fewer voices of advice at the table.

Gu Qinian smiled and said, "The Crown Prince and Ning'er have just been married for a short time, and they are in love with each other!"

When ordinary people hear the emperor say this, they should understand his opinion on this matter.

In short: I, the emperor, am not in a hurry, but you are concerned about the royal heirs.

However, not all the ministers present could understand the emperor's implicit meaning.

General Dingnan Zhou He was such a person.

This rough and powerful man is now nearly fifty years old, with three sons and one daughter, and this daughter is Zhou Tang.

He did not say anything when many ministers spoke just now, but seeing that the topic was about to be brought up, he could no longer sit still.

"Your Majesty, I think it is best to make plans as soon as possible."

Gu Qinian stopped laughing. Zhou He had just returned to the capital from the southwest half a year ago. Didn't he think he didn't know what this old thief was planning?

He wanted to use his daughter to help the Zhou family move to a higher level.

He didn't even think about why he was transferred back from the southwest.

I am afraid that if he had been a few years later, the entire southwest would have become the domain of his Zhou family!

Gu Zhaojin looked surprised: "What do you mean by that, General Zhou?"

There was silence during the meal, as Zhou He knew that he had probably brought up a topic that the emperor did not want to talk about.

But now that he has already opened the mouth, he is unwilling to give up this opportunity.

So he gritted his teeth and pulled up Zhou Tang who was sitting behind him.

"Your Majesty, my daughter Zhou Tang has been infatuated with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince since she returned to the capital. I only have this one daughter, so I naturally want to fulfill her wish. I hope Your Majesty will do so."

Gu Qinian glanced at Zhou Tang, who was looking at Gu Zhaojin with a thoughtful look on her face, and then looked at the young couple who were eating happily next to them, and he became interested.

"General Zhou, it's not that I don't want to help you. The prince has already started a family. I don't want to interfere with which girl he wants to take as a concubine."

When Gu Zhaojin heard this, he did not stop picking fish bones, and replied in a deep voice: "Your son does not want to."

Gu Qinian gave Zhou's father and daughter a helpless smile, meaning that if the parties involved are unwilling, there is nothing I can do.

General Zhou was stunned. He didn't expect that the emperor would listen to the prince on this matter, and he didn't expect that the prince would be so direct.

Zhou Tang's face turned pale, and tears welled up in her beautiful eyes.

At this time, a concubine who had some connections with the Zhou family said with a smile: "Oh, Your Highness, this young lady of the Zhou family is a lady from a noble family who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Her appearance and temperament are also first-class."

Gu Zhaojin put down the chopsticks in his hand with a "pop" sound.

He raised his eyes, his voice already cold: "I will not take a concubine!"

After this sound, the atmosphere at the entire banquet became even colder.

Gu Qinian glanced at the frightened and not-so-intelligent concubine beside him and shook his head.

Zhou Tang was about to cry, and looked at Gu Zhaojin tenderly.

If an ordinary man saw her adorable expression, he would probably have surrendered.

But Gu Zhaojin acted as if he didn't see anything and ignored her.

Zhou Tang took two steps forward, glanced at Jiang Ning, and asked, "Your Highness, are you afraid that the Crown Princess will not agree?"

Jiang Ning, who was eating hard at the side, heard this and sighed in his heart. He could not enjoy this meal in peace.

By the way, today's dishes are quite to her liking.

Jiang Ning put down his chopsticks, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Zhou Tang, who had a pale face.

Gu Zhaojin frowned and was about to speak when Jiang Ning pulled his sleeve to stop him.

Her aura was fully on display, and even when she was smiling, her voice was cold.

"Miss Zhou, don't say that. I've only been married to the Crown Prince for three months, and you've labeled me a jealous woman with just one casual remark. Won't I be chased and scolded by all the ministers for the rest of my life?"

Zhou Tang's face turned pale and red, and she couldn't help but think hatefully that if she had returned to the capital a few years earlier, the position of Crown Princess would definitely be hers!

She looked timid and shrank her shoulders, as if she was frightened by Jiang Ning: "Your Highness, the Crown Princess has misunderstood me. I just... just admire the Crown Prince's heroic appearance and want to ask for a chance to serve him."

She looked at Gu Zhaojin, a faint blush appeared on her face, and she tried to attract Gu Zhaojin's attention shyly.

Unfortunately, it is destined that the flowers will be loved but the water will be heartless.

A man who is being confessed to is now looking at his wife with starry eyes.

Jiang Ning looked at Zhou Tang and lost her patience. "There are so many people in the capital who admire Your Highness, but no woman has the courage like Miss Zhou to try to sow discord between Your Highness and me!"

Zhou Tang finally shed tears after hearing these words, and cried bitterly.

General Zhou finally couldn't bear it anymore and stood up: "Isn't what the Crown Princess said a bit too much?"

Gu Zhaojin raised his eyes and said coldly: "Gu Yun."
