Eight hundred and twentieth eight chapters heartbeat
It is already the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, and it will be a new year in more than twenty days.
The weather is cold and the wind is blowing.
Zhou Quan's dark face revealed a hint of spring in the cold wind.
The twenty-eight-year-old bachelor Zhou Quan, like a young boy who has never seen a woman before, said in a nonchalant voice: "Congratulations, General Lian!"
General Lian, who was already thirty-one years old and was about to turn thirty-two, looked at Zhou Quan with somewhat complicated eyes. A scene from a few days ago appeared in his mind.
On that day, Queen Xie summoned me.
Although Xie Mingxi did not formally become a disciple, he practiced martial arts with Lian Shuyuan for several years. He respected Lian Shuyuan very much. After returning to Beijing, Xie Mingxi often called Lian Shuyuan into the palace to talk. Lian Shuyuan went in without thinking too much.
palace.
Xie Mingxi tactfully mentioned Lian Shuyuan's lifelong events: "...My wife has always been single and unmarried because she did not want to be confined to the inner house and did not want to become a vassal of a man."
"My master is very brave and has the talent to lead and train soldiers, which is unparalleled in the world. Ordinary men are really not worthy of my master. Therefore, although Sheng Hong and I have been concerned about my master's life events over the years, we have never said anything."
"Today, I want to ask the master about his thoughts. If there is a man who has always been in love with the master, he does not mind that the master lives in the military camp, does not mind that the master will become a female general in the future and is more powerful than her husband, and does not ask the master to take care of her husband and teach her children.
.I just want to work side by side with my master, without any doubt."
"Would the wife be willing to marry such a man?"
Lian Shuyuan was stunned when she heard this, and blurted out: "How can there be such a man in the world!"
If she had, she would have been married long ago!
She has always been single, not because she hates getting married, but because she has never met a man worthy of her marriage!
Xie Mingxi smiled meaningfully: "I have spoken to the Master, of course. Moreover, I am also someone familiar to the Master. The Master usually concentrates on the military camp and never pays attention to the people around him. Now you might as well think about it carefully.
Think, who is this person?"
After saying that, Xie Mingxi elegantly picked up the tea and sipped it.
Lian Shuyuan looked at Xie Mingxi doubtfully: "It can't be Sheng Hong!"
puff!
Xie Mingxi squirted the tea in her mouth rather inelegantly, and then coughed several times.
A mischievous smile flashed in Lian Shuyuan's eyes, and she apologized seriously: "I am joking casually, the Queen must not take it to heart." Xie Mingxi deliberately betrayed her, so of course she had to retaliate.
Xie Mingxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "That's all, I won't beat around the bush. The person I just mentioned is Commander Zhou Quan, the emperor's personal bodyguard."
"Zhou Quan has been secretly in love with the master for many years, but has never dared to express his feelings. Now that he is a grown man, the emperor and I see it and are anxious for him."
"I came here specifically to inquire about Master's wishes today. If Master is willing to marry Zhou Quan, it will be considered a good thing. If Master is not willing, I will immediately order Zhou Quan to give up any disrespectful thoughts towards Master."
Lian Shuyuan has been different from ordinary girls since she was a child. She is decisive, straightforward and never hesitates.
But this time, Lian Shuyuan found it difficult to make a decision on the spot. After thinking for a moment, she said: "The Queen, let me think about it for a few days."
Xie Mingxi smiled and said: "Master, think about it slowly, there is no need to make a decision in a hurry."
…
In the past few days, Lian Shuyuan had one more thing on her mind.
She didn't think it through clearly for a moment, and now she felt a little uncomfortable when she saw the shy Zhou Quan. She cleared her throat and said, "Thank you, Commander Zhou."
In the past, after saying this, Zhou Quan would have given way wisely.
Today, Zhou Quan didn't know where the courage and courage came from, but he kept standing in front of Lian Shuyuan. He was full of words, but couldn't say a word. He just looked at Lian Shuyuan eagerly.
"Zhou Quan, the queen has revealed your feelings to Mr. Lian. Whether you can find a wife or not depends on you." The emperor's joking reminder from a few days ago echoed in his ears, and Zhou Quan's palms were covered in cold sweat.
The emperor is right.
If you want to marry a wife, you have to be shameless.
Otherwise, when will we be able to embrace this beauty?
The emperor once disguised himself as a woman and shamelessly ate and slept with the young Empress Xie, and that was why he got married by Feng Zhi. Now he is just shamelessly stopping his sweetheart and looking at her more...that's all!
She would never fall out and beat him up in public!
Zhou Quan silently encouraged himself, his dark face already turning red. He had not learned Sheng Hong's shameless demeanor at all, and even Lian Shuyuan couldn't bear his youthful and pitiful appearance.
"General Zhou stopped me. Do you have anything to say?"
Lian Shuyuan softened her tone slightly: "If there is nothing important, I will take the first step. In ten days, I will lead the Shu soldiers to fight against the elite Yulin. I have to go to the military camp now."
Zhou Quan was secretly excited and excited.
She didn't say cold words to him, nor did she show her face to him. Does this mean that she also has a slight affection for him in her heart?
Zhou Quan mustered up the courage and looked directly at his sweetheart: "I'll take you to the military camp."
Lian Shuyuan's brows moved, her expression a little complicated: "As the commander of the emperor's bodyguards, how can you leave the emperor's side so easily?"
Zhou Quan mustered up his courage again: "I have asked the emperor for a day's leave. I will send you to the military camp and then return."
Lian Shuyuan: "..."
Facing that upright face as red as a monkey's buttocks, Lian Shuyuan suddenly realized that she couldn't bear to refuse. Her body reacted one step ahead of her mind and nodded.
Zhou Quan's eyes suddenly lit up, three points brighter than the scorching sun in the sky.
…
"That fool Zhou Quan has been giggling for a few days."
A few days later, in Fulin Palace, the young and affectionate emperor and empress were chatting and whispering in the warm bedroom with a charcoal burning pot. In front of Sheng Hong, he acted like an emperor, but in private, he looked lazy, half sitting and half lying down.
On the bed.
Speaking of Zhou Quan, Sheng Hong's tone was full of disgust: "As soon as I saw his bright silly smile, I wanted to kick him."
Forget about hanging around under his nose every day and smiling like a retard!
Xie Mingxi chuckled: "He has been in love with the master for several years, but has never dared to express his feelings. Now he finally has hope, and there is no reason to be unhappy in his heart."
Sheng Hong rolled his eyes: "It's because you and I sympathized with him as an old bachelor and took the initiative to act as a matchmaker for him. If we left him alone, he wouldn't know how long it would be until the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse."
Xie Mingxi laughed softly and said: "Master is busy training troops. In a few days, the two armies will have a martial arts confrontation. It is not appropriate to be distracted at this time. After the martial arts performance, I will ask Master again what you think. If Master nods, I will let you know.
Zhou Quan, go to the Lian family to propose marriage!"
Zhou Quan is really not young anymore, Lian Shuyuan will be 30-20 years old after the Chinese New Year. At this age, she is old enough to be a grandmother.
Sheng Hong smiled and nodded.
The conversation between the two naturally turned to martial arts.
"What are the chances of the Shu soldiers winning against the Royal Forest Army?" Xie Mingxi asked with a smile.
