When asked about this matter, Zhao Jiang looked a little hesitant, but after hesitation, he still told the truth.
Zhao Jiang said: "Mr. Chaixian County, Zhao Jiang is not afraid of your jokes. In the past, I had a crush on a brothel girl. I originally thought she really liked me, so I was never stingy with spending money on her. I would give her whatever she wanted.
What did she buy? Later I realized that I was too stupid, too stupid... Sigh..."
Having said this, Zhao Jiang punched himself on the knee and sighed heavily.
Chai Yan understood what was going on as soon as he saw Zhao Jiang's expression, and he immediately regretted that he should not pursue the matter.
But Zhao Jiang's chatterbox could no longer be turned on and off. He sighed and continued: "On the surface, that woman has a good relationship with me, but secretly she has a pretty boy who looks like a scholar, but is actually a fool.
One, after taking the exam for three or four years, he is not even a child. Such a waste, that woman actually treats him as a treasure, I get angry when I think about it..."
Chai Yan couldn't interrupt, so he had to listen to what Zhao Jiang said.
Zhao Jiang said helplessly: "Later I saw the pretty boy, and then I realized that the woman was greedy for the pretty boy's good looks... Mr. Chaixian County, tell me, if she thinks I'm ugly.
Man, why does she want to have a good relationship with me?"
Chai Yan finally understood that Zhao Jiang was deliberately trying to get in trouble with him because he had a grudge against him in the past, so he especially hated the pretty-faced scholar.
Thinking of this, Chai Yan asked: "Zhao Jiang, in your eyes, do I look like a pretty boy?"
Zhao Jiang didn't answer for a while, he just looked at Chai Yan and smiled awkwardly, and then scratched the back of his head.
Chai Yan immediately rolled his eyes and said with disdain: "Superficial!"
-------------------
Prince's Mansion.
After appreciating the plum blossoms, Chai Yan and the others had already left, but Princess Funing was the only one who was not in a hurry to return to the palace.
After Zhao Li sent Liu Lang back to his bedroom to rest, he went to the garden to look for Princess Funing.
Zhao Li walked along the verandah for a while and saw a small figure standing in a daze under a plum tree.
I don't know what Princess Funing was thinking about. She was so absorbed in thinking that she didn't even notice Zhao Li coming to her side.
Zhao Li touched Funing's shoulder lightly and said with a smile: "Funing..."
"ah!"
Although Zhao Li's movement was very light, it still startled Funing, causing her to turn around and jump sideways. Then she covered her heart and gasped: "It's sister-in-law... you scared me to death."
..."
Zhao Li felt strange and asked: "What are you thinking about? You are so fascinated..."
When Funing heard this, his face suddenly turned red, and his eyes did not dare to meet Zhao Li's, and he ducked away with a flicker of his eye.
"No...I didn't think about it..." Funing shook his head in denial with a guilty conscience.
Zhao Li then put away her smile and said seriously: "Fu Ning, if anything happens, tell your sister-in-law. She will definitely be on your side and help you!"
Funing has always respected this sister-in-law, and Zhao Li has never lied to her, so after thinking about it for a while, he felt a little shaken.
"Sister-in-law, will you really help Funing?" Funing asked.
Zhao Li nodded seriously: "Of course! If my sister-in-law doesn't help you, who else can I help? Tell me, are you interested in your prince brother's things again..."
Funing pursed her lips and said unhappily: "Sister-in-law, Funing is not young anymore. Why do you always think of Funing like that?"
Zhao Li couldn't help but smile lightly and coaxed: "Okay, okay, Funing has grown up. Sister-in-law won't say that in the future, okay?"
Only then was Funing satisfied, and then he took Zhao Li's hand and asked weakly: "Sister-in-law, Funing wants to ask you something..."
"What's the matter?" Zhao Li's voice was very soft.
Funing blushed, lowered his head and said: "Sister-in-law, Funing...Fu Ning has...a candidate for his consort in his heart..."
Zhao Li was stunned for a moment, then showed a surprised look: "Fu Ning, what did you just say, sister-in-law... did you hear it correctly?"
"Sister-in-law, you heard me right..." Funing let go and turned away shyly.
Zhao Li immediately walked around to the front of Funing, bent down slightly and asked in a low voice: "Fu Ning, please tell my sister-in-law quickly, who is that person? Which official's son is he?"
Funing raised his eyes to look at Zhao Li, then quickly lowered his eyes and said shyly: "Sister-in-law, that person is... that's... he was here just now...
..”
"I was here just now..."
Zhao Li thought about the words and was instantly horrified: "Fu Ning, what you are talking about...could it be Chai Yan?"
As soon as Funing heard his sister-in-law say the word Chai Yan, his face turned even redder. He was so red that he didn't even dare to look up at Zhao Li, nor did he notice the change in Zhao Li's expression.
After a long while, Funing nodded shyly and admitted.
Zhao Li laughed dumbly and was very puzzled. Why did Funing suddenly fall in love with Chai Yan?
Zhao Li did not rush to express his opinion, but asked patiently: "Fu Ning, can you tell my sister-in-law why it is Chai Yan?"
Funing immediately opened her mouth to speak, but when she opened her mouth, she found that she didn't know what to say. She originally thought she could give many reasons.
After opening and closing his mouth several times, Funing said hesitantly: "He...he can do tricks, and he is...also interesting. The most important thing is...is...
Very smart and capable..."
Zhao Li fell silent after hearing this, and then spoke after a moment: "Fu Ning, you are still young...it is not too late to bring up the matter of choosing a prince-in-law in a few years..."
Fu Ning became anxious immediately. She could understand clearly that he didn't agree with what he said!
"Sister-in-law, didn't you say you would help Funing?" Funing shouted.
Zhao Li didn't want to explain at first, but when he saw Funing like this, he decided to make it clear.
So he said: "Fu Ning, the minister's children and sisters-in-law you choose are all willing to help, but... Chai Yan can't!"
"Why?" Funing looked at her sister-in-law in confusion and asked, "Is it because his status is too low?"
"No!" Zhao Li shook his head decisively and said: "Fu Ning, you have seen it yourself. Chai Yan and Jimo You are talented and beautiful, they are in love with each other. They are in love and will get married sooner or later!"
Funing said anxiously: "But... but my father will not agree. She is the lucky star of Shengguo. My father has long told his mother that he will never let Jimo You marry in his lifetime."
People, otherwise it will harm the destiny of the country!"
Zhao Li was shocked. This was the first time she heard this.
"Fu Ning, where did you hear this? Don't talk nonsense!" Zhao Li's face immediately darkened.
Fu Ning said in a positive tone: "Fu Ning didn't say anything nonsense. It was when his father and mother spoke, Fu Ning heard it with his own ears. It's true!"
Zhao Lixin said that this matter was probably true, so she said: "Fu Ning, don't be anxious about this matter. My sister-in-law will discuss it with your brother the prince later..."
Funing stamped his feet and said angrily: "What are we still discussing? Even sister-in-law, you don't agree, let alone the prince brother!"
After saying that, Funing ran away without looking back.
