Chapter 196: Girls Don’t Stay
"Dad only wants mom, but you have to bring many brothers home since you were little."
As Xie Zhiyi spoke, he glanced at Cao Xize. He wanted to tell him that his sister was a playboy and that he shouldn't bother with her.
"Princess, do you think I can be taken home by you?" Cao Xize stared at Shen Zhixi with burning eyes. He wanted to use a joke to test whether he had a chance.
Shen Zhixi also recalled his childhood when his mother said that she wanted to bring Uncle Mo Chen home.
"No, ever since I met the blond brother, I no longer have that idea."
Shen Zhixi looked at Carrie and smiled. Who could be prettier than him?
Although he was not from the Great Zhou, she liked his novel appearance.
Others may not appreciate Carrie's beauty, but they are lucky enough not to be afraid of him. Only Shen Zhixi chased after him and called him brother as soon as he saw him.
Cao Xize lowered his eyes slightly, he was sad.
He was about to be separated from her, and there was another man by her side, which made him feel so uncomfortable.
Xie Zhiyi patted his shoulder sympathetically.
Cao Xize shook his head. It didn’t matter. He wouldn’t be discouraged. The Queen and Emperor Yun wouldn’t marry the princess to an outsider.
The next day, they split into two groups and went their separate ways.
Carrie returned to the island, just like a fish returning to the water, familiar and intimate.
They stood on the high cliffs of the island and looked out, and the phrase "sea and sky merge into one color" became concrete.
The azure sky and the dark blue sea blend in the distance, and snow-white clouds seem to be floating on the sea.
It was so beautiful that Shen Zhixi forgot who he was and where he was at that moment, as if nothing was more important than the beauty before him.
Kerry saw that she liked it, and said with a smile: "I will take you out to sea someday, so that you can experience for yourself what a pirate is."
"Okay." Shen Zhixi's eyes sparkled. She had only heard her father and Carrie talk about robbing foreign cargo ships. Not every ship had to be robbed, otherwise they would not dare to go out to sea and would have no chance to rob.
Cong Wu arranged a place for her to live. When she returned, she wrote a letter to her mother, asking her to come and visit her when she had the chance.
In the imperial study of the palace, the two emperors were reading the letters from their children together, and smiles appeared on their faces unconsciously.
"One saw the life of the lower class people in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the other saw the vastness of the ocean."
"It's a good thing. They have all made progress."
…
Two years later, news spread from the sea that a woman who was good at using a long whip, wearing a fox mask, was capable and cruel, and had become the overlord of the sea.
If you don't want to be robbed of everything by her, you have to pay the toll.
Xie Yunzhao deeply suspected that it was his own naughty daughter, but he didn't dare to tell anyone else and only told Shen Shurong quietly.
Shen Shurong was so angry that he was speechless. How could this child be so wild?
"You are the one who indulged her."
Xie Yunzhao immediately felt guilty: "My lady, this also proves that Xixi is amazing."
"Let Cong Wu take her back to Beijing!"
"Okay, I'll do it."
Before I could write the letter, I received a letter from my daughter.
Shen Shurong opened it and saw the letter in her daughter's handwriting, saying that she loved being with Kerry and was carefree.
She liked to be close to him, liked to see him smile, and liked him holding her hand.
When she saw other women approaching him, her heart would be sad, as if Carrie belonged to her alone.
She loved Kerry, she thought.
I want to marry him, please ask my parents to agree.
When Xie Yunzhao saw to the end, he felt dizzy. How dare Kerry covet his daughter, the Princess of Da Zhou?
"I'm going to blow that damn guy up!"
All the palace maids knelt down. Emperor Yun was angry and they were very frightened.
However, Chen Shurong shook his head, waved away the palace servants, and took Xie Yunzhao's hand.
Her face was calm, without a trace of anger, and her tone was gentle: "In fact, I saw it a long time ago, but Xixi didn't understand it at that time. I think if Kerry treats her the same way you treat me, I won't object."
"Two people who love each other and have the opportunity to be together is the most beautiful thing in the world, isn't it?"
Xie Yunzhao thought about himself. Indeed, he loved Rongrong so much. If he couldn't get her, there would be no meaning in his life.
"Let them come back before the Spring Festival. I'll test Kairui's feelings. If he also likes Xixi, we won't stop him."
"good."
A few days later, Xie Zhiyi came back.
He handled several cases locally and handled them very well.
Now that he was sixteen years old, he started to attend court and discuss matters in the imperial study. Soon, he was granted the title of Crown Prince, and Cao Xize was granted the title of Crown Prince's Groom to assist the Crown Prince.
From then on, Xie Yunzhao could justifiably be lazy and leave most of the government affairs to his son.
Cao Xize confided to the prince that he had already told his mother about the proposal of marriage. His mother was preparing and would propose to the queen in a few days, asking for Princess Jingya's hand in marriage.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I am older than you and can take good care of the princess."
Xie Zhiyi choked, his sister already... has someone in her heart.
How can I tell him without hurting his feelings?
He thought about it and said: "Sorry, I'm afraid I can't."
"Why?"
"Because... my great-grandfather said before he died that he would not marry any of his children to the Cao family."
Cao Xize: "..."
At that moment, he thought of countless possibilities, but this was the only one he hadn't thought of.
Xie Zhiyi secretly thought that he was smart, because his great-grandfather did say that, because after his great-grandmother passed away, Prime Minister Cao passed away.
He was very angry. He felt that the old prime minister would rather die between him and his wife.
No one took it seriously at first, but now I can only use it to fool him.
Cao Xize returned home in despair. He had also heard the story between his great-grandfather and the eldest princess.
The emperor at that time asked the eldest princess to choose her own husband. It happened to be the spring examination, so the eldest princess said that she could just choose that year's top scholar.
As a result, my great-grandfather didn't want to be a princess consort, so the princess chose Old Tutor Shen.
I didn't expect that Old Master Shen would mind my great-grandfather to the point of not allowing the younger generation to marry into the Cao family.
His love was trampled on before it even sprouted.
At the end of the year, Kerry and Shen Zhixi returned to Beijing.
"Dad, Mom, my daughter is back." Shen Zhixi greeted her parents, then ran to her mother, took her arm, and her cheeks were red.
Kairui knelt down in front of his master and his wife and kowtowed three times: "Disciple pays respects to Master and his wife. Disciple truly loves the princess and sincerely wishes to marry her."
Xie Yunzhao glared at him. He never expected that the disciple he casually accepted would abduct his precious daughter. "Don't you think of Xixi as your sister? Why do you say you like her now?"
"My disciple also experienced an accident. That time, I was almost swept away by the waves. I was very scared at that time. I was not afraid of death, but I was afraid that I would never see the princess again."
"Dad, I was also very panicked at that time. I was afraid that I would never see him again. I wanted to follow him."
Xie Yunzhao closed his eyes, thinking that girls should not be kept when they grow up.
He hadn't even objected yet, but his daughter was already on his side.
"Your mother and I don't care. It depends on whether your grandparents, your maternal grandparents, and the civil and military officials agree."
"What does my daughter's marriage have to do with the officials?"
"You are the Princess of Da Zhou!"
"Then I won't be the princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"What? You want to be the female overlord of the sea?" Xie Yunzhao gritted his teeth.
Shen Zhixi stuck out his tongue, it turned out that his father knew.
