Fang Xingtong's silence on the other side of the phone was what Yuan Miaoyu had expected.
Although Fang Xingtong just said that she had not captured Li Zhongwu yet, Yuan Miaoyu knew that Fang Xingtong was still in love with Li Zhongwu even though she had not captured Li Zhongwu yet.
Because if she had not been in love with Li Zhongwu, when Li Zhongwu was attacked by Feng Junbo and others yesterday, Fang Xingtong would not have been able to use Tianji Tong to help him.
Fang Xingtong's awakening of Tianjitong had been hidden from her before.
But for Li Zhongwu, she used Tianji Tong. If this wasn't emotional, she, Yuan Miaoyu, would never believe it.
On the other side of the phone, Yuan Miaoyu waited quietly.
Waiting for cousin Fang Xingtong's answer.
She was a little curious about what her cousin would say when faced with this situation. Will she choose to quit? Or would she work hard for it?
Marina City.
In the inn room, Fang Xingtong already regretted denying her relationship with Li Zhongwu.
If she didn't deny her relationship with him, how could the seventh princess ask her to quit? How could the seventh princess choose him as her consort?
At this moment, she felt quite complicated in her heart.
She never dreamed that the Seventh Princess had asked her to capture Li Zhongwu and marry him. How long had it passed? She would actually want to steal a man from her.
Still carrying something like this?
With his mind spinning, Fang Xingtong slowly took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and said softly: "Your Highness, although I have not confirmed the relationship with him yet, after my pursuit during this period, I have developed a certain relationship with him.
That’s the basics. You, why don’t you change the candidate for your consort? Otherwise, how about I recommend a few to you?”
Tianque City, Seventh Princess Mansion.
Yuan Miaoyu smiled silently.
She knew that her cousin was already in love with him.
This was all within her expectation.
"Cousin, are you sure you like him?"
Fang Xingtong: "Yes, Your Highness! Please do it, Your Highness!"
Yuan Miaoyu thought about the fact that she had been hiding the awakening of Tianji Tong, and said calmly: "Yes! Gu can help you!"
Fang Xingtong: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
Yuan Miaoyu: "However, my father asked me to get married as soon as possible. It is a fact that Gu is now missing a consort. Let's do this! How about recruiting him as your consort first, and then letting him marry you later?"
Marina City.
Hearing this, Fang Xingtong's eyes suddenly widened a bit.
She seriously doubted that she heard correctly.
"Your Highness, what did you say? Do you still want to recruit him as your consort?"
A smile appeared on Yuan Miaoyu's lips, "Yes!"
Her eyes flickered, and Yuan Miaoyu reassured her: "But don't worry, I just need a consort in name only, and I won't sleep with him. I just want to fulfill my father's wish, so I'm fulfilling my filial piety! Wait for him later."
If I marry you, you two will still live together. I don’t have any love for children in my heart, so you can rest assured!”
Fang Xingtong: "..."
The titular prince consort?
Do you want to borrow my man?
Fang Xingtong's mind was confused and she didn't know how to answer.
promise?
I feel a little uncomfortable.
Don't agree?
That might anger the Seventh Princess. Even if she didn't, it would alienate the Seventh Princess from her, which is definitely not a good thing.
"What? Isn't it possible? I just want to be a husband and wife with him in name only, cousin, aren't you willing to let me go?"
After a moment, Yuan Miaoyu asked lightly.
Fang Xingtong bit her lip, "Your Highness, does it have to be like this? Can't there be someone else?"
Yuan Miaoyu: "There is no time, and not everyone is qualified to be Gu's consort! He recently performed well in the "Wu Zhuangyuan" competition and is quite famous. Only by recruiting Gu to be Gu's consort can the Holy One agree."
.”
Fang Xingtong: "..."
After struggling for a moment, Fang Xingtong sighed, "Your Highness, can you allow me to think about it for two days?"
Yuan Miaoyu: "Yes, but only two days at most! Your Majesty is pressing hard, so I can't delay it for too long."
Fang Xingtong: "Okay, thank you Your Highness. I will definitely give you a reply within two days."
Yuan Miaoyu: "Okay."
…
After ending the call, Fang Xingtong's shoulders slumped, and he threw the phone on the bed with some weakness. He also fell back and lay on the bed with his back spread out, looking at the ceiling, lost in thought.
She had also thought before that after she married Li Zhongwu, he might marry a few more women in the future. It was not unacceptable to her that the whole society was like this.
However, she never thought that he would marry another woman first, and she would become a latecomer.
Not the real wife...
As the daughter of the Fang family, when had she ever thought about whether she would have the status of a head wife when she married in the future?
However, no matter how noble her status is, she is still completely different from the Seventh Princess.
The more I think about her, the worse I feel.
She somewhat regretted her loyalty to the Seventh Princess before.
If she had not been loyal to the Seventh Princess, how could Fang Xingtong have ended up in her current situation with her family background, appearance, talent, and abilities?
She wanted to give up Li Zhongwu, but she couldn't bear it in her heart.
She wanted to break away from the Seventh Princess, but her rationality told her that the consequences of doing so might be serious.
Lying on her back and thinking for a long time, she reached for her cell phone, hesitated, and sent a message to Li Zhongwu.
"Has my fifth brother settled down?"
Li Zhongwu had just asked the inn to change himself into a suite with two rooms and two beds. When he received Fang Xingtong's message, he was leaning against the door and watching Fang Xingyu take out pieces of clothing from his travel bag and hang them in the clothes.
cabinet.
Seeing Fang Xingtong's message, he smiled lightly and replied, "I'm settling in! I'll be fine soon."
A moment later, Fang Xingtong sent another message.
"Li Zhongwu, we are getting married soon. Can you tell me your true feelings? Do you like me?"
Li Zhongwu frowned slightly after reading this message.
From this message, he felt the hesitation in Fang Xingtong's heart.
He remembered a saying he had heard before - many women have premarital phobia.
Could it be that Miss Fang also has this problem?
He squinted his eyes and thought for a while, feeling that he didn't seem to have fallen in love with her. He found that as he got older and closer to 30, it seemed that it became harder for him to be tempted by a certain woman.
In the past, he also felt that as a man, he must find a beloved woman.
But as year after year passed, he gradually felt that love was not that important.
The status of love seems to have been continuously improved with the exchange and integration between China and other countries in the world in the 20th and 21st centuries.
Throughout the thousands of years of Chinese history, marriages between men and women are more concerned with the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers.
For ancient Chinese people, most marriages were not decided by themselves.
Even if there is love between husband and wife, it is usually cultivated slowly over time after the couple gets married.
So, is love really that important?
At his current age, he wants to find a woman who suits him more than love.
And Fang Xingtong is his best choice at the moment.
Although he can't say he loves her yet, he definitely has a crush on her.
Based on his understanding of her, he also believed that after marrying her, their life should be harmonious and not bad.
So, whether you love or not...does it matter?
With these thoughts running through his mind, he replied to her: "It's not like! It's love! I've fallen in love with you, can't you feel it?"
How you feel in your heart is one thing, but whether you can say sweet words is another.
In the original time and space, he was also someone who had watched some romance movies and TV series.
It's just one or two sweet words, he can just pick them up at his fingertips.
He doesn't think it's shabby to please a woman.
…
In another hotel room.
Fang Xingtong was still lying on her back on the bed. After reading the message Li Zhongwu replied, her originally depressed expression and the corners of her mouth turned up a little uncontrollably.
At this moment, she felt the sweetness of love.
"real?"
Like an ordinary woman in love, she asked this question to confirm with him.
A moment later, she received a reply from Li Zhongwu - "Of course it's true. I, Li Zhongwu, never lie!"
Fang Xingtong also had a smile in his eyes.
His originally pale face became a little rosy.
Her mood suddenly improved a lot.
Contrary to Li Zhongwu, she believes in love and always hopes that she can get married because of love.
"I love you too!"
She couldn't help but tell him her feelings.
Oriental Inn.
Li Zhongwu smiled slightly when he saw her reply. Although he didn't care whether there was love in his marriage, he would be happier if the woman he married loved him in her heart.
Because a woman who loves herself will be more obedient after marriage.
Life will definitely be more harmonious.
…
It was around 9pm that night.
The seventh princess Yuan Miaoyu, who was far away in Tianque City, suddenly received a message from her cousin Fang Xingtong.
"Your Highness, I have thought about it. Please ask the Holy Spirit to marry me! Let him be your consort. However, I hope that you will let him marry me one month after you get married."
Yuan Miaoyu, who was reviewing the memorial in the study, was a little surprised when she saw this message.
"Have you thought about it so quickly?"
Yuan Miaoyu smiled and said to herself.
Immediately, he replied: "Okay, thank you cousin!"
Everything was as she expected.
The only thing that was beyond her expectation was that Fang Xingtong's consideration time was much shorter than she expected.
After replying to this message, Yuan Miaoyu raised her head and shouted: "Here comes someone!"
The study door was pushed open, and a guard with a knife came in immediately, bowing his head and obeying the order.
Yuan Miaoyu: "Let's make some arrangements. Gu Ma is about to enter the palace, so go get ready!"
"Yes! Your Highness!"
After receiving the order, the guard strode out of the study and closed the study door.
Yuan Miaoyu put down the pen in her hand, stood up with a smile, walked out of the study, called some maids to change her clothes.
She knew that the emperor's time was running out. Since she promised to get married as soon as possible, she must hurry up. She was not completely sure of the throne at the moment, so she must get married as soon as possible while the emperor was still alive and sane and get the emperor's promise.
Give her the Princess of Zhenguo and the Haotian Sword.
In this way, she can be invincible.
Even if the emperor dies soon and the person who takes the throne is not her, Yuan Miaoyu, then, with her status as the princess of the country and the Haotian Sword in her hand, she will not be afraid of the new emperor.
If the new emperor has trouble with her in the future, she can follow her father's will and kill him.
