Chapter 281 His Girl Is a Treasure
Princess Jing's face was stiff, and she could hardly believe what she heard.
"I just met my second brother." Fu Chen said in a light tone, "Although my second brother is a concubine of Prince Jing's mansion, he is also my father's son. Over the years, the concubine has taught him well. My second brother is studious and motivated, humble and reserved, and his knowledge and character are both excellent. Even the tutor praised him highly. If mother really thinks that the girl from the Fang family is good, she can discuss with the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo to see if this marriage can be arranged for my second brother."
After a pause, "Of course, if it is possible, it would be fine for me to give up the position of the crown prince to my second brother. It would not be considered a grievance. The Fang family girl. However, it is not in accordance with the rules for a concubine's son to ascend the throne. I think my father needs to talk to the emperor's grandfather and see if he can make an exception. "
After saying this, he bowed slightly: "If you have nothing else to do, mother, go and rest. I will take my leave."
Princess Jing was so angry that she couldn't say a word. Her face was pale and blue. She watched him turn around and leave. The slender figure in the moon-white robe was indeed gorgeous and charming, but also revealed indifference from the bones.
The superficial humility could not hide her dissatisfaction with her mother. This fact made Princess Jing feel extremely angry and disappointed.
Fu Chen was in a bad mood after leaving Hongchen Garden and went directly to the Chu family.
Chu Hongyi had just finished bathing and was about to rest when she heard the servants report that Prince Qi wanted to see her. She paused for a moment and quickly said, "Let Prince Qi come directly."
"Yes."
Chu Hongyi held military power, and usually came into contact with men when entering and leaving the military camp. Therefore, the Chu family did not teach her strictly about the difference between men and women. Moreover, with Chu Hongyi's current status in the family, she no longer had to look at anyone's face to act.
Chu Hongyi's boudoir was not as elegant as the boudoirs of ordinary girls, but more elegant than the rooms of ordinary men. The overall style was simple and grand but not without softness.
When Fu Chen came in, the maids beside Chu Hongyi happened to make tea. Seeing Prince Qi coming, the maids saluted respectfully and then left tactfully.
"Why don't you rest in the mansion?" Chu Hongyi was wearing a bathing nightgown, and a warm thick cloak casually covered on the outside, and she looked like she was about to rest.
"I miss you." Fu Chen walked over and hugged her in his arms, kissing her face, "One day without seeing you feels like three years, and half a day without seeing you makes me miss you like crazy."
Chu Hongyi was silent for a moment: "We have been apart for less than an hour."
"Really?" Fu Chen calculated the time, "Almost an hour."
So what?
Chu Hongyi was too lazy to bother with these details with him. She sat at the table, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and raised her head slightly to look at Fu Chen: "You don't look very happy."
This is a statement.
Fu Chen looked at her, nodded slightly and said, looking very aggrieved: "I'm in a bad mood."
"Who made you angry?" Chu Hongyi asked, "Princess Jing?"
"Little ancestor, I want to discuss something with you."
Chu Hongyi put down the teacup, her eyebrows deepened: "What is it?"
"About our marriage..."
Chu Hongyi's voice was light: "Do you want to cancel the engagement?" The dangerous meaning in her tone was not concealed at all.
"No." Fu Chen smiled slightly, his eyebrows and eyes sparkling, and then he suddenly reached out and picked her up and walked to the inner room.
After entering the inner room and pressing her down on the bed, Fu Chen sighed: "I want to ask, can you take me in?"
Take me in?
Chu Hongyi looked at his beautiful face calmly, "Does your mother want to break off relations with you?"
"Probably." Fu Chen said indifferently.
Chu Hongyi frowned slightly and pondered for a moment: "How about I also hand over the military power, and we elope?"
Fu Chen was stunned: "Elope?"
Chu Hongyi nodded: "We can go out to venture into the world, we can be escorts or martial artists, anyway, as long as we are alive, we will never starve to death."
Fu Chen couldn't help laughing, staring at this little ancestor, and the more he looked, the happier he became.
This sixteen-year-old girl, who had led the army to suppress rebellions, was majestic on the battlefield, and had been praised by the emperor in the court, had just begun a bright future. When the empress ascended the throne, she would definitely need a trustworthy female official in front of the palace. Chu Hongyi was the most suitable candidate. Based on Fu Chen's understanding of Nan Xi and Rong Yu, as long as Chu Hongyi was willing, she would be able to become a high-ranking official in the future.
How could such a smart girl not think of this?
However, at this time, she said the idea of "elopement" so lightly, and wanted to throw away the glory brought to her by the imperial family without any attachment, and give up the wealth and power that was within her reach, just to wander around the world with him?
Fu Chen was really happy and touched. He couldn't help but lower his head and pecked her lips: "Being a bodyguard or a martial artist doesn't make much money. Why don't we choose a more famous brothel? I will perform and you will get paid?"
Chu Hongyi frowned: "Are you looking for death?"
"What's wrong?" Fu Chen looked at her innocently, "I am doing this to support my family. A real man should stand tall and upright."
Chu Hongyi stared at him for a moment, and suddenly turned over. The two of them changed directions in an instant. She pressed Fu Chen under her: "If you dare to go out and flirt with women and show your face, I will break your legs."
Fu Chen was silent for a moment: "Are you willing to do it?"
"Why not?" Chu Hongyi's tone was light, and no emotion could be heard.
"If my legs are broken, I won't be able to walk. Who will support me in the future?"
Chu Hongyi said: "I will support you."
Fu Chen laughed in a low voice, and his pupils were full of stars: "Little ancestor..."
"Marry me." Chu Hongyi said calmly, "In the future, I will fight hard and achieve a few more military exploits, and then I can leave the Chu family and set up my own business. After you marry me, everything in the General's Mansion will be yours. "
Fuchen almost couldn't stop laughing. He really didn't know how this girl could be so cute, such a treasure. If she really lost it, where would he find another one that was exactly the same?
"Hongyi." He hugged her slender body tightly and sighed softly, "I was joking with you just now. I have not severed ties with my mother. Although she doesn't want to agree to our marriage, she can't make the decision in this matter."
Chu Hongyi looked at him and frowned slightly.
"I am the only legitimate son in Prince Jing's palace, unless she wants to give up the throne to Xuanyuan Hua to inherit." Fuchen said calmly, "But even if she is really willing to give up, I don't care, the throne is not as cute as my wife."
Chu Hongyi looked at him expressionlessly, and after a moment, she said calmly: "If you really lose your position as the crown prince, I will take you in. You don't have to worry about being homeless."
Fuchen couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Okay, I will rely on my little ancestor to support me for the rest of my life."
