After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

Zhao Zhenyuan was shocked by what I said and looked at me with wide eyes.

Gongsun Wen was drinking tea, and was so frightened by my words that he spit out a mouthful of tea. He looked at us awkwardly, gave a fake smile, and said, "You guys continue, I didn't hear anything."

Zhao Zhenyuan coughed twice to ease his inner embarrassment, and then said, "At my age, there is no need to remarry, lest I find another woman like Mrs. Gui, who would cause unrest in the family and harm my children."

Zhao Zhenyuan was bitten by a snake once and he is afraid of ropes the next time.

I took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "You are in your prime, why can't you get married again? Besides, Yiping is married, and she will still go back to the border with King Wu. If Jinping gets a share of the house, she might move out too. Then you will be the only one left in the Duke's Mansion. Can you imagine how lonely you will be?"

Apart from having two wives, Zhao Zhenyuan had no concubines or maids, so he was considered a good man.

Originally, it was considered disrespectful for children to discuss their parents' marriage, but Zhao Zhenyuan was a military general and was used to rough and unpretentious things, so he didn't care much about these things.

Gongsun Wen sat aside as if he was watching a good show. He took a sip of tea and secretly glanced at the two of us, but he couldn't suppress the smile on the corner of his mouth.

Zhao Zhenyuan rubbed his head and said, "I only have one son, Jin'er. He won't abandon his father and move out to start his own business, right?"

I guess Jinping wouldn't either. In his heart, Zhao Zhenyuan is the sky, and his status is as unshakable as a mountain. He would never leave him to live alone.

But in order to get Zhao Zhenyuan to marry, I decided to scare him again.

I said, "Who knows? Young people always have their own ideas. How happy would they be if they lived their own lives behind closed doors without the supervision of their parents-in-law? When that happens, you will be left alone. Just imagine how lonely it would be? You would eat alone, sleep alone, and you wouldn't even have anyone to talk to. You would just stare at the rooftops in a daze every day. Have you ever thought about living like this?"

Zhao Zhenyuan was a person who preferred activity to quietness. Although he didn't like to talk much at home, he still liked to be surrounded by hustle and bustle. When he thought that he would be the only one eating and drinking at the lively dinner table in the future, he began to feel depressed.

So he shook his head and said, "No."

I clapped my hands and said, "That's right, so you have to marry a wife to accompany you for the rest of your life."

Zhao Zhenyuan said distressedly: "It's not difficult to marry a wife, but I'm afraid of marrying someone like Mrs. Gui. My father is a rough man who only knows how to fight in the army. He really knows nothing about the affairs of the inner house."

I smiled and said, "It's okay, I have already found a good candidate for you."

"Ah?" Zhao Zhenyuan looked at me steadily, and finally understood that I was not asking for his opinion at all, but forcing his father to get married.

Zhao Zhenyuan glared at me and said, "How dare you plot against your father, Ah Man? Tell me, whose family is this girl that you need to go to such great lengths to get her."

I couldn't help but burst out laughing and said, "Father is indeed a great commander who can command troops with great skill. He understood what I was up to in just a few words."

Zhao Zhenyuan said proudly: "If I were fooled by a little girl like you, all my decades in the military camp would have been wasted."

I nodded and said, "Of course, who doesn't know how powerful the Dayu God of War is?"

After that, I changed the subject and asked, "Father, what do you think of this girl Fuyao?"

"Fuyao?" Zhao Zhenyuan couldn't remember who it was.

Gongsun Wen almost spit out another mouthful of tea, and finally he covered his mouth with his hands and swallowed the tea.

Zhao Zhenyuan looked at Gongsun Wen in confusion and asked, "Why does the King Ming have such an expression?"

Gongsun Wen waved his hands quickly and said, "Go on, my Lord. I just choked on my tea by accident."

Zhao Zhenyuan obviously didn't believe it, but he turned his head to look at me and asked, "Who is Fuyao?"

I said, "Fuyao is my personal bodyguard given to me by the late emperor. She is highly skilled in martial arts, upright, and good-looking. Most importantly, she is very loyal."

Zhao Zhenyuan thought about it, and then he remembered that there was a girl named Fuyao following me. As for what the girl looked like, he didn't look closely.

Zhao Zhenyuan frowned and said, "From what you said, the girl should be young and unmarried. Would she be interested in a middle-aged man like me?"

I patted Zhao Zhenyuan on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about this. In fact, this girl has long been attracted to you and especially admires you. It's just that she feels that there is too much difference between you and her. She is just a small secret guard, while you are a war god admired by everyone, so she dare not express her feelings to you. If you agree, I will ask His Majesty to grant you a marriage."

"Wait." Zhao Zhenyuan said helplessly, "You haven't asked the girl's opinion in person, how do you know if she really wants to marry me? I'm a middle-aged man, half her age. Even if I live a long life, I can't be with her for a few years. Don't delay her marriage."

When I heard this, I understood and said, "So father wants to ask her in person if she is willing? All right, I'll ask someone to invite her back right away."

"Ask her to come back? Isn't she your bodyguard? Where did she go when she was not with you?" Zhao Zhenyuan asked somewhat unhappily.

I told Xichun to send someone to Fengyi Palace to call Fuyao back, and then I said, "The Ninth Prince is a little naughty, and the Queen Mother asked Fuyao to discipline the Ninth Prince, so Fuyao is usually not in my palace. But don't worry, father, I have sent someone to ask her to come back. Fengyi Palace is not far away, and she will be back in a moment."

Gongsun Wen felt that he had come to the right place today, as he could actually see the big melon of the Duke of Zhao, which was so fragrant and sweet.

Sure enough, not long after, Fuyao hurried back.

When Fuyao stood in front of us, Zhao Zhenyuan finally saw what this girl looked like.

Fuyao is very tall, at least over 175cm tall. Due to years of martial arts training, her body is well-proportioned, and she looks strong and healthy. Although her facial features are not very delicate and she cannot be considered a beauty, and her eyes are even too sharp, making her look a little cold and difficult to approach, she is also the type that is pleasing to the eye and not annoying.

Fuyao was a little surprised why I asked her to rush back, but when she saw Zhao Zhenyuan and Gongsun Wen were there, she bowed to them both, suppressed her doubts, stood behind me as usual, and didn't ask me why I called her back.

I found that Zhao Zhenyuan had been looking at Fuyao, but he was not looking at her with the eyes of a lover, but as if he was looking at his soldiers. His eyes were sharp and penetrating, as if he could see through Fuyao at a glance.

Fu Yao was born as a secret guard and had a very good psychological quality. However, when Zhao Zhenyuan's inquiring gaze kept wandering over her, she felt a little flustered for no reason and did not even dare to meet his gaze.
