Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1820

Zhuo Qiran respectfully took the wooden box, bowed and left, and suddenly heard Shi Anxia calling him, "Master Zhuo, please stay."

He turned around and saw Shi Anxia standing up and bowing to him properly.

Her eyes were clear, but her voice was deep, "Master Zhuo, I should have thanked you in person a long time ago. But after thinking about it, I always feel that any words seem pale. You saved my life and the lives of my children. You are the benefactor of my whole family."

After saying this, he bowed solemnly again.

Zhuo Qiran hurriedly turned aside, not daring to accept the princess's gift. "This is my duty. I am honored to receive your kindness."

Shi Anxia invited Zhuo Qiran to sit down again, "Master Zhuo, I have something important to discuss with you."

Zhuo Qiran had no choice but to sit down straight.

Bei Hui poured him some tea and then stepped aside.

Shi Anxia considered her words carefully and said slowly, "I want my two daughters to recognize Lord Zhuo as their foster father. What do you think, Lord Zhuo?"

Zhuo Qiran never expected that the princess would have such an idea, but after thinking about it, he understood. How could this be to acknowledge him as a foster father? It was clearly that the two little princesses, who were nurtured and saved by the Zi Gu, were acknowledging their own life Gu.

Then, a trace of melancholy rose in his mind. He was not stupid, and his mind was even more sophisticated than that of ordinary men.

He knew that the princess was binding him as a "relative" because she was afraid that one day he would use his natal Gu to force him to do something that would harm the interests of the princess or the county lord.

He smiled bitterly and was about to speak.

The princess's cold voice rang out, "Master Zhuo, there's no need to guess that I'm using 'family affection' to bind you. If I say otherwise, I'm sure Master Zhuo won't believe it. I'm just grateful to Master Zhuo for saving my life, and I'm also grateful to Master Zhuo..."

She didn't finish the rest of her words, but just looked at him with complicated eyes.

He also looked into her clear eyes, and after just a moment, he gave in and said, "I am marrying above my station."

Shi Anxia poured the tea in front of Zhuo Qiran into the tea tray and poured him a cup of hot tea. "I'll use tea instead of wine to toast Master Zhuo on behalf of my daughters."

Zhuo Qiran held the cup with both hands and drank it all in one gulp. "Don't worry, Princess. I guarantee with my life that I will protect you and... your husband... ahem, the young marquis and the young princess."

Shi Anxia shook his head, his eyes sincere, "To me, after you drink this cup of tea, you will be my daughter's adoptive father and my relative. I only have one request of you, and that is to take care of yourself."

She then ordered Bei Hui, "Go and get that snow fox fur."

Not long after, Bei Hui brought in a rosewood and gold-painted clothing box.

The moment the box was opened, a snow-white fox fur coat was quietly lying inside. The fur color was like fresh snow, and it had a pearl-like luster. The most precious thing was that the whole fur coat had no other colors, and the collar was embroidered with fine cloud patterns with silver thread. It was obviously a rare treasure.

Shi Anxia said in a gentle voice, "This snow coat can protect you from the extreme cold, maybe it can be used by Lord Zhuo."

When Zhuo Qiran took the clothes box, his fingertips accidentally touched the fur, and he felt a warmth running down his arm straight to his heart, which actually soothed the restless natal Gu in his body.

He bowed deeply, "Thank you, Princess, for the reward."
