Jiang Nian was drinking tea and almost choked on his words. She put down the cup and looked at Zhou Ci, as if unsure, and asked: "What did you say?"
Zhou Ci's handsome face was filled with a smile. He cupped his hands towards Jiang Nian and repeated his words: "I'm going to recommend myself to the pillow mat."
Jiang Nian: "..."
She found it very interesting. She didn't know where this man got the confidence to recommend himself as a pillow?
"Mr. Zhou, tell me your reasons why you recommend yourself as a pillow mat?"
Jiang Nian looked at him calmly and asked.
Zhou Ci said: "I was kicked out by my father and was homeless. I heard that Your Majesty was choosing a consort for the princess, so I shamelessly recommended myself."
Jiang Nian glanced at him. In fact, she had already seen the baggage behind him.
It turned out that he was kicked out.
Jiang Niandao: "I heard that you are well-known in the capital as a playboy and a romantic. Even if I want to choose a consort, I will not choose someone like you."
Zhou Ci frowned and said, "Who did you listen to?"
Jiang Niandao: "Chu Liancheng, to be honest, Your Majesty gave him a booklet. When I turned the page to you, I was indeed attracted by your appearance and had this plan.
However, after hearing Chu Liancheng's evaluation of you, this princess gave up her thoughts.
When I saw him on the street today, the rumors turned out to be true, Mr. Zhou is really an extraordinary man."
When Zhou Ci heard Chu Liancheng's name, he was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "How can the princess just listen to what he says?
He has a grudge against me and always dislikes me, so he will naturally say bad things about me.
As for what happened today, it was just a misunderstanding. Although I am romantic, I keep myself clean, really."
Jiang Nian heard the key point: "Chu Liancheng has a grudge against you?"
Zhou Ci snorted: "I have lived in his shadow since I was a child. He is my cousin and his mother is my aunt.
My father compares me to him all day long, and today I was kicked out of the house because of him."
Jiang Nian was extremely surprised. Zhou Ci turned out to be Chu Liancheng's cousin?
She raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhou Ci, really like a child who had been wronged.
Jiang Nian thought for a moment and pointed to the seat next to him: "Come and sit."
Zhou Ci was overjoyed and hurriedly walked over and sat down properly. He said, "Princess and Chu Liancheng are familiar with each other?"
Jiang Nian wanted to say she wasn't familiar with him, but after thinking about it, she changed her words: "When I was a child, he saved my life in southern Xinjiang."
Zhou Ci was not surprised. As his cousin grew up in southern Xinjiang, it was normal for him to know Jiang Nian.
He asked: "Given such an opportunity, why didn't the princess choose him as her consort?"
Jiang Nian's expression changed slightly and he said nothing.
Zhou Ci suddenly understood: "I understand, is he ignorant? My cousin is dull and boring. He has a good appearance, but he is very unpleasant.
Many women had expressed their love for him before, but they were all rejected ruthlessly.
So much so that no one among the ladies in the capital is willing to marry him."
Jiang Niandao: "Is he really so dull and boring?"
Zhou Ci shrugged: "Last year, at my aunt's birthday party, a noble lady wanted to get close to him, so she deliberately dropped her veil on the ground. When he saw it, instead of picking it up, he stepped on it.
At that time, many people saw it. The noble lady felt that she had lost face, so she ran away crying.
Chu Liancheng acted like a normal person, and from then on, the noble ladies in the capital wanted to take a detour when they saw him."
Jiang Nian chuckled: "So he is so unkind."
Zhou Ci asked: "Why does the princess like him? Just because of his life-saving grace as a child?"
He is dull and boring, thinks of himself as aloof, and is as proud as a peacock, which is very annoying."
