Zhao Xu is already in his late twenties and has reached the age of marriage.The emperor hinted once or twice, but he politely rejected them on the grounds that he did not consider the personal relationship of his children for the time being, but it seems that it is not the way to procrastinate.

Mu Lianyi is the eldest daughter of Mu Yang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. She has a reputation in Beijing for being both talented and beautiful. According to her father, she admires His Royal Highness Jin Wang's demeanor very much.

Zhao Xu had a headache. He didn't want to marry a wife, and he just delayed his good girl.

Mu Yang is an idiot, he has been hesitating between himself and the prince, but the power of Chaozhong Qingliu behind him cannot be underestimated.These ministers of Qingliu have always been very noble, and even Zhao Xu would not easily quarrel with them on weekdays. After all, they are an extremely important force in public opinion among the people.

Xu Lin and Qin Zhennan have been secretly persuading him for the past few days to consider marrying Mu Lianyi as his concubine, and taking this opportunity to take these clean ministers under his command.

Maybe... because of this, they went to Jiang Yunya.

Zhao Xu's heart felt a little sour when he thought about it. He actually regretted it, but he just said it like that, like poured water, which can never be taken back.

Brother is always like this, he doesn't tell himself anything.It was the same when he first learned light kung fu when he was a child, he was too lazy to move, but he was greedy, so he begged Jiang Yunya to pick the fruits from the ancient trees in front of the mountain.When Jiang Yunya came back, he brought a backpack full of red fruits, and he didn't say anything, just smiled and watched him spit out cores while eating by the bed.In the end, it was Zhao Xu who happened to see him applying medicine in the room and realized that Jiang Yunya was injured.At that time, Zhao Xu tiptoed back to the room, looked at the remaining fruit, but couldn't eat any more.

Later, Zhao Xu's lightness kung fu practiced better than Jiang Yunya's, and he had never been lazy. Both masters were surprised how the ghost spirit who hadn't been lazy all day became so diligent.

Zhao Xu thought in his heart at the time, when the senior brother falls down in the future, I will be able to catch him too.

When I was young, my thoughts were always very simple, and I practiced light kung fu hard for one person, and the shallowness of the purpose seemed to make people laugh.

After so many years, Zhao Xu has changed, but he found that Jiang Yunya is still the same as when he first met, silently doing as many things for him behind his back, never saying anything.

What about this time?Are you planning to withdraw and come to "fulfill" me?

He didn't know what Xu Lin and the others had said to Jiang Yunya, but Zhao Xu knew that he would never be with other people in his life, even if it was just a formality.One day, he will be strong enough to be able to be with the people he likes openly, and no one, no one will stop them, even if it is just words against his will under the power.

Zhao Xu was in a trance, since that night after the hot spring farewell, he seemed to have suddenly lost his strength and was tired. He couldn't tell if it was because he was confused about his future fate, or because he was more worried about Jiang Yunya's eye injury.

In the early morning of spring, the housekeeper came to report, and Lord Xu Xiaohou came.

Xu Jingyan was enfeoffed as a Marquis since he was born, because at the time of his birth, it happened that his sister, the current Concubine Xian, gave birth to a prince for the Holy One.The Holy Majesty said that this was double happiness, and for the sake of the illustrious military exploits made by the previous brothers of the Xu family, Xu Jingyan, who had not yet opened his eyes, was granted the title of Marquis of Qingtian in an unprecedented way, and the territory is in Qingtian County next to the capital.

Now that Xu Jingyan has made great contributions in quelling the Turkic Rebellion, he has also conferred the title of three thousand fiefs, and is also the governor of the three counties in Guannei.

"Your Highness! Haha...hahahaha..." He heard his voice before seeing him.

Xu Jingyan hindered the servants standing around, and restrained his smile, but the more he smiled, the happier he walked in.

"What's wrong? What kind of fun makes you laugh so much?"

When Zhao Xu saw Xu Jingyan, he temporarily put aside the depression in his heart, and his mood brightened like his smiling face.He pushed back the surrounding guards, making Xu Jingyan very relaxed.

"Brother Xu, haha, don't be annoyed, I'm just kidding that they can make it up, but they actually said you, you, hahahahaha..."

Xu Jingyan saw that the maids had all retreated, and stopped calling for His Highness. He sat on the chair happily and poured tea for himself, but his hands shook from laughing.

"What did they arrange for me?" Zhao Xu was helpless.

"Brother Xu, don't be angry when you hear it. I didn't say it. I, when I met Zhou Cangran, asked him a few words, and he told me a joke." Xu Jingyan said a lot of foreshadowing, To get to the point.After Zhao Xu nodded in agreement, he started talking again with great interest: "Oh, I don't know where the prince invited that group of people, who seem to be writing story books in Beijing, saying that you haven't married yet. It's because, hahahaha, there's a hidden disease..."

"..."

Zhao Xu's face froze.

"Zhou Cangran had a lot of fun learning from me today, and that group of literati is really good, even you and a girl from the Red Sleeve Pavilion entered the room, but... ha ha ha, you have no power... It's wonderful, this idiot will Listening to gossip, I told him today and he also said that he heard it when passing by his cousin's study occasionally."

Xu Jingyan looked at the rare Zhao Xu who couldn't keep smiling, and laughed so hard that he hiccupped.

"Stop!" Zhao Xu felt that if he didn't stop him now, he could talk about it till night.

Zhao Xu started another topic: "Where is Zhao'er?"

"Watching Jun Shu playing guns in the front yard." When Xu Jingyan talked about his precious son, his eyes lit up a lot, and he immediately started talking non-stop: "Brother Xu, you don't know, Zhao'er was in the Imperial College a few days ago. He got the first name in the unified examination! Li Jijiu told the emperor that this son will become a great talent in the future. Our Xu family has finally produced a young student who is studying. The emperor gave him a pen holder and said that he will often come to Kao Zhao in the future. Son."

"Respectfully, I will make a long story short in the future." Zhao Xu has become accustomed to finding the key points in his pile of words. "Your father, did you ask me to persuade me?"

"Huh?" Xu Jingyan said with some guilt, "Yes..."

He looked up and saw that Zhao Xu was fiddling with the jade beads in his hand, but he didn't speak.

Xu Jingyan had stayed with him for so many years, so he naturally knew that Zhao Xu would play with those little things when he was in a bad mood.

"Brother Xu, you don't have to worry about this. If you don't want to marry, no one can force you! Aren't you and Jiang Changshi doing well now?"

Xu Jingyan said this call to comfort him, but the people in the first seat seemed to be in a worse mood when they heard Jiang Yunya, and even felt a little sad.

He was careless by nature, and didn't know how to speak, so he asked directly: "Brother Xu, are you and Jiang Changshi having trouble?"

"One point." Zhao Xu put the beads in his hand on the table, looked up at the sky but could only see the beams of the house, so he looked at Xu Jingyan, wanting to explain to him.

The butler outside the door knocked on the door lightly, saying, "The Turkic people are here."

"No!" Zhao Xu said firmly.

"This time, Fuli Khan came in person."

"..."

"Let him in, it's time to make it clear."
