"Miss Miaojin, would you like a drink?"
Xu Miaojin naturally didn't dare not refuse to drink after hearing that, but her smile when she raised the glass was a little forced.
Li Xiuzhu just smiled and ignored the two of them, and sat in front of the window with Li Biyao.
Here you can see below.
At this time, the sound of stringed instruments was already lingering below.
"How old is Miss Miaojin? Has she been engaged?"
Xu Miaojin's expression changed. She looked miserable at first, then she looked in the direction of Li Xiuzhu and the others.
Suddenly Xu Miaojin gritted her teeth.
"Your Highness, Miao Jin has already been promised to someone else."
"Hmm? Whose family did you promise? Don't lie to me."
Upon hearing this, Xu Miaojin gave the answer she had prepared.
"My father has promised me to the Duke of Anyang, Li Xiuzhu."
Xu Miaojin admitted that there was a gambling element in her decision, but she did not want to marry the prince, she only wanted to marry Li Xiuzhu.
The emotions originated from those poems and are loyal to this time of being a hero saving a beauty.
God knows how desperate she was just now, and God knows how happy she was to see Li Xiuzhu appear just now.
Li Xiuzhu and Li Biyao both paused at the same time, and then looked at each other.
Xu Miaojin's voice was quite loud, and Li Biyao was also a second-rate expert, so what she heard was real.
"Xiuzhu, Miss Xu just said she promised it to you, is that true?"
Li Xiuzhu turned back helplessly, looked at Xu Miaojin's hopeful eyes, and said, "You guys chat about your own things, why are you involving me?"
Li Xiuzhu's words were equivalent to denying Xu Miaojin, which immediately made Xu Miaojin's eyes darken and her heart become dead.
"Miss Xu, it seems that you were not obedient just now. Although deceiving the prince is not a capital crime, it is almost the same."
Xu Miaojin did not make any distinction, but simply said indifferently: "The prince can punish me however he wants, as long as it does not implicate my father."
Li Chengze smiled when he heard this. Xu Miaojin, who accepted her fate like this, was not so fun to watch.
Therefore, Li Chengze got straight to the point and asked, "Do you like bamboo cultivation?"
Xu Miaojin didn't understand what he meant and looked at Li Chengze without saying anything.
"If it's Xiuzhu you like, I can give you to him and not compete with him."
"You also know our relationship."
Xu Miaojin's eyes lit up, but just as she was about to speak, they darkened.
After taking another look at Li Xiuzhu who had his back to this side, Xu Miaojin finally said, "What's the point of me liking the Duke? It seems that the Duke doesn't like me."
Li Chengze smiled meaningfully and said, "That may not be the case."
"Besides, does it really matter whether you like it or not?"
"Parents' orders and matchmakers' words, many marriages start with strangers."
"That's Li Xiuzhu you mentioned. How much did he know about his wives and concubines before he married them?"
"If you want, I can make the decision for you."
This time Xu Miaojin's eyes really lit up, sparkling with spirit.
"Is what the prince said true?"
Li Chengze smiled and said, "I am the crown prince, which means I am half a king. A king should not joke."
"But you haven't told me yet, do you like Xiuzhu?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Miaojin nodded affirmatively.
"Yes, I like the Duke of Anyang, and I ask the prince to help me."
As Xu Miaojin said this, she glanced at Li Xiuzhu again. Seeing that Li Xiuzhu had no objection, she breathed a sigh of relief and put her mind at ease.
Li Chengze smiled when he heard this and poured another glass of wine for Xu Miaojin.
"If you marry Xiuzhu, then the difficulty will be to convince your father and go to Xiuzhu to be a talented woman."
"Honestly speaking, this position is too low. Xiuzhu is not even a prince yet. Your father may not agree."
"The second is to marry me and become my talent. I am the crown prince, and your father will definitely agree."
Xu Miaojin blinked, not understanding.
But when she heard the end, she suddenly remembered a terrible thing.
The relationship between the two is so good, it's unbelievable.
Think about the concubines in officials’ families.
Could it be that the two of them were of the same trade? If so, wouldn't I have to serve both of them?
Suddenly, Xu Miaojin's face turned pale.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
But this is the fate of women in this era. Unless they become wives, they have no autonomy at all.
Even if you become a wife, if there is someone you cannot afford to offend, you still have to sleep with him or her.
After thinking about it, Xu Miaojin thought he understood.
Since there is no choice, it doesn't matter. I might as well keep it simple so that my father can agree.
I never thought that I, a distinguished female student like Xu Miaojin, would have to serve two husbands. It's so sad and tearful.
But if it weren't for Li Xiuzhu, she would rather not marry.
Xu Miaojin smiled with mixed feelings and said calmly, "I agree to marry the prince."
"Um?"
Li Chengze thought he had to explain the interests involved, but he never expected Xu Miaojin to agree so easily.
But then he thought, the other party is a female student, she must have figured out what he was going to say.
As expected of a female student, the two people who misunderstood didn’t even think about explaining further.
At this moment, Li Biyao was stunned.
The prince is looking for a woman for his husband? And he arranges one for her in his own name?
Wait, if that's the case, then what about the two new wives that my eldest brother married? ? ? She didn't dare to think about the Crown Princess, and the Crown Princess had been in the mansion for several years, so there was no way she was married for her husband.
"Then the prince can marry Miao Jin as soon as possible, but Miao Jin has one condition."
Li Chengze nodded when he heard this. A condition was not too much, as long as it was not excessive.
"You said, I will do my best to satisfy you."
Xu Miaojin nodded slightly and said seriously: "I would like to ask the prince to agree that Miaojin's first time will be given to the county lord."
Li Chengze was stunned when he heard this. What do you mean? It seems that you didn't understand just now? Li Chengze laughed and said, "It seems that our female students have misunderstood something."
Xu Miaojin frowned slightly. Was she saying that she was not qualified to negotiate terms? But before he could think about it, Li Chengze explained, "When I said I would help you and Xiuzhu be together, I really meant it."
"As for me, I am just a face to the outside world. From now on, you only need to serve Xiuzhu."
"Really?" Li Xiuzhu was immediately overwhelmed by the huge surprise.
Li Xiuzhu also laughed. Xu Miaojin was really good at imagining things.
But he was very confused. He had never flirted with this girl before, so why did she look so deeply in love with her?
Suddenly, Li Xiuzhu thought of what happened today.
Is it a hero saving a beautiful girl? Although it is an old-fashioned trick, it is still a very practical trick even in later times.
Of course, this also depends on the person. If the hero is too ugly, I'm afraid Xu Miaojin will only feel that she will never forget the great kindness and will work like a slave to repay the benefactor in her next life.
Fortunately, he is very handsome, so handsome that except for married women, most of them will say that they have nothing to repay him with but their bodies.
At this time, Xu Miaojin said shyly: "Please come to my house as soon as possible, Prince, to take me home. Miaojin will take her leave first."
