The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

Gu Qinghuai smiled and continued, "My Lord, thank you for the position of concubine. Even if you give me the position of queen, I think I am worthy of it, but I am not interested."

After saying that, Gu Qinghuai glanced towards the main hall door, and seeing that Qi Yuanshuo, Qi Leyang and others had not come out yet, he patiently continued his verbal battle with Prince Yi.

Prince Yi was choked and his face turned red. He raised his hand and scratched the back of his head: "I...I didn't say you are unworthy, it's just the rules of the royal family."

Gu Qinghuai nodded and said mercilessly: "Your Highness, I have said so much just to tell you that Zhao Xiaoshi is the man I want. I will not consider anyone else. If Zhao Xiaoshi does not change his mind and treats me well as always, I will accompany him to the end, have children with him, and grow old together."

Prince Yi was stunned for a moment and sighed, "I am still a step too late."

Gu Qinghuai sneered, "Even if you came earlier, this county lady would not choose you. We have different values ​​and cannot work together."

"Three views? What is that?" Prince Yi didn't understand.

Gu Qinghuai deliberately delayed time and patiently explained: "The so-called three views are world view, value view, and life view, which are a person's cognition, judgment, and views on the world, things, and life."

"Oh," Prince Yi nodded.

He was still very confused.

He was a prince of noble status, and marrying a widow with a child as his concubine was already a huge sacrifice, and he had already risked the world's condemnation and disregarded the royal family's rules. But this woman actually said in a roundabout way that he looked down on her and despised her? !

Prince Yi did not think that he and Gu Qinghuai had different values. He said, "I have seen many women, but you are the only one that suits my taste. Our values ​​are the same."

Outside the main hall, Qi Leyang walked out holding Shaorun and Shaoze.

Gu Qinghuai rolled his eyes immediately, not wanting to continue this topic with him, "Alright, Your Majesty, don't say anything. I already have a man, and it's impossible for me to be with you!"

This woman! She changes her attitude faster than turning the pages of a book!

Prince Yi glared at Gu Qinghuai hatefully, but he couldn't say a single harsh word to her.

The next day, Qi Yuanshuo put on the court dress of a fourth-rank military general early and went to the court to meet the emperor.

"Sister Xiaohuai, look at my face, will anyone recognize me?" Qi Yuanshuo looked at Gu Qinghuai and shook his face left and right.

Gu Qinghuai stood on tiptoe, straightened his collar, pinched his handsome face, and whispered, "Don't worry, even your own mother wouldn't recognize you if she saw you. I bought the most expensive human skin mask, no one would be able to tell the difference."

Qi Yuanshuo's gaze slid from Gu Qinghuai's clear and lively almond eyes to her lips. His Adam's apple couldn't help but slide, and he bent down and kissed her.

Gu Qinghuai pushed him away and whispered angrily, "We're almost going to court, and you're here again?"

Qi Yuanshuo grinned, his smile dazzling, "Wait for me to come back and kiss you again!"

Gu Qinghuai did not comment, but only gently reminded: "You should be careful about your words and actions in the court, and don't let others bully you. If someone bullies you, come back and tell me, and I will help you deal with him!"

Qi Yuanshuo kissed her forehead lovingly, "Okay, listen to my wife."

"We haven't gotten married yet!" Gu Qinghuai smiled and punched him.

Qi Yuanshuo hugged her and said softly: "In my heart, you have long been my wife, forever and only." Jinluan Palace.

Civil and military officials were lined up on both sides, and Emperor Dingde sat on the dragon throne. Everyone arrived a moment earlier today because they were all curious about the man who had just captured three cities and was bestowed the title of brave young general by the emperor.

However, this young general is really arrogant. All the old ministers and the emperor have arrived at the court early, but he hasn't come yet and is even making the emperor wait for him!

The ministers raised their eyes and secretly glanced at the emperor, and found that the emperor had a gentle expression and did not show any signs of anger.

It seems that regaining territory and taking back cities are the achievements that the emperor values ​​most, and he can even tolerate that little general's pretense.

The Third Prince and Duke Liang exchanged glances, exhaled slightly, and waited silently.

The Third Prince, Duke Liang and Concubine Shu all advocated winning over this brave young general.

After all, the young general is guarding the northern border and should be of the same mind as General Chang.

If he cannot be won over, then there is no point in keeping him.

A few breaths before the clock struck dawn, the emperor and his ministers heard regular footsteps coming from the gate.

The sound of his steps was resounding, firm and powerful, and one could tell at once that he was a swift and decisive military commander.

The emperor looked up, and all the ministers turned their heads to look.

I saw a young man dressed in military uniform walking towards me.

He has a tall and straight figure and an extraordinarily handsome appearance. He exudes the youthful vigor and vitality of a young man as well as the calmness and solemnity of a soldier on the battlefield.

He is only in his teens, but he already has the spirit of a great general.

The ministers were shocked. It was obvious at first glance that this young man was no ordinary person!

The third prince stood at the front. He turned and looked at the young general, a calculating light flashing in his gentle and innocent eyes.

The emperor smiled and nodded continuously.

"Your Majesty, I, Zhao Xiaoshi, am here to pay my respects to you. Long live the emperor! Long, long live the emperor!" Qi Yuanshuo lifted up his clothes, knelt on one knee, and saluted the emperor.

The moment he lowered his head, the respectful look in his phoenix eyes faded and emitted a cold and fierce light.

Finally, he returned to the imperial capital and entered the court!

Finally, he saw again these enemies who framed his brother, forced his mother to death, and massacred his maternal grandfather's nine clans!

The emperor raised his hand and said with a kind smile: "Well, brave young general, please stand up."

Qi Yuanshuo glanced at the Third Prince and Duke Liang as if unintentionally, and continued to speak to the Emperor: "I did not dare to slack off for a moment during the war. In order to see Your Majesty as soon as possible, I traveled for half a month. I was too sleepy last night and got up late this morning. In addition, this is my first time in the palace, and I am curious about everything. I can't help but be attracted by the scenery along the way, so I am a little late. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"

Hearing this, all the ministers sighed in their hearts that this young general was truly extraordinary.

This explanation not only showed his own merits and hard work, but also revealed that he was from the countryside and had no background or knowledge, hoping to win the emperor's trust.

As expected, the emperor laughed and said, "Lord Zhao, you have worked so hard. You arrived at the court before the clock rang, and you were not late. Lord Xiao, you have captured three cities in a row and helped Daxia recover lost territory. You have made great contributions. I grant you the title of fourth-rank brave general and the goldfish bag. Eunuch Tian, ​​grant you the official seal!"

"Yes, Your Majesty," Eunuch Tian responded respectfully.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Qi Yuanshuo bowed again and took the official seal and goldfish bag brought by Eunuch Tian.

The emperor looked at the young general holding the official seal and said with a smile, "Lord Zhao, I heard that you and the Princess of Qinghe County are engaged?"

Qi Yuanshuo's alarm bells instantly went off, and he immediately bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, I and Princess Qinghe are in love with each other, and have decided to get married. I also promise Princess Qinghe that I will never take a concubine, and we will be together for the rest of our lives."
