Chapter 85 Chunzhi, I want to marry you
Chunzhi was stunned. "What did you say?"
"Three letters and six ceremonies, a formal marriage. I will give you nothing less." Huo Zheng said solemnly, "Chunzhi, I want to marry you."
Chunzhi didn't look surprised when she heard this. She stretched out her hand and pushed Huo Zheng away. "Huo Zheng, don't make promises that you can't keep. Do I need to tell you this?"
Huo Zheng said seriously, "I always keep my word."
Before Chunzhi jumped into the river, he had not yet figured out his own heart and only wanted to take her back to be a cook.
But Chunzhi's jump in the storm was something he would never forget, and it also made him completely understand his own thoughts from that moment on.
He likes Chunzhi and wants to be with her day and night and stay with her for the rest of his life.
Chunzhi does not covet power or seek wealth. She truly "would rather be a wife from a poor family than a concubine from a rich family."
Huo Zheng even felt that Chunzhi chose to have a fake marriage with him because he was an ordinary citizen, Huo Qi.
If Chunzhi had known that he was the Prince of Chang'an earlier, she would definitely not have gotten close to him.
Huo Zheng can't afford to gamble.
Chunzhi was unwilling to be Lu Jingyun's concubine and resolutely left the Lu family, not because Lu Jingyun's official position was not high enough.
But she would not be anyone's concubine.
Huo Zheng knew this very well.
That's why I made a solemn promise to Haruji.
Chunzhi looked at Huo Zheng and said, "You are the dignified Prince of Chang'an. There are so many noble ladies in the capital for you to choose from. Your father, the emperor, the queen, and even your subordinates will not let you marry me."
Huo Zheng's biological mother died early, and he was raised by Queen Wang.
Queen Wang has no biological son, so whether she can become a powerful queen mother in the future depends on whether Huo Zheng is capable enough.
Chunzhi didn't know what was going on in the court and the harem, but she knew that ordinary people still had to consider the importance of matching their families' social status when getting married.
What’s more, he is the King of Chang’an, who is respected and valued.
She said: "Huo Zheng, you can't marry me, and you can't marry me."
Huo Zheng said, "I've thought about making you a concubine or a side concubine. I don't have a wife yet, and you're the only one in the palace. No one can bully you, but I know... you don't want to."
So he didn't even mention it.
What Song Anlan said was actually very true. The Prince of Chang'an, who had many ambitions, could never give Chunzhi the formal marriage she wanted.
But he chose to take a risky move and try to find a new way out of all the difficulties.
He wants both the country and the beautiful women.
Huo Zheng said to Chunzhi, "Don't worry about anything else. Just tell me if you are willing to marry me."
Chunzhi was silent for a long time, then said to Huo Zheng, "I don't want to."
She didn't know how many difficulties and obstacles Huo Zheng would face if he married her.
She didn't want Huo Zheng to give up anything for her. Most couples in the world were deeply in love when they were young, but as time went by, their love faded and only mutual hatred remained.
It would have been better if she and Huo Zheng had stayed in Linshui Town.
After Prince Chang'an finished dealing with the affairs of Nanzhou, he returned to the capital. Chunzhi continued to live in Taohua Lane, gave birth to a child alone, and raised the child by selling tofu. It was a good life for her.
But as fate would have it, Chunzhi happened to find out Huo Zheng's identity.
She was about to leave, but Huo Zheng chased her relentlessly.
We have come to the situation we are in today.
When Huo Zheng heard Chunzhi say she was unwilling, he did not get angry. He said calmly, "Then I will wait a little longer. One day, you will be willing."
Chunzhi was speechless for a moment: "..."
As the two were talking, Song Wan'er came back with her maids holding trays.
Emerald white jade shrimp, goat milk and yam soup, crispy honey porridge... these are all Chunzhi's favorite foods. Song Wan'er asked the maids to put the food on the table, ready to eat with Chunzhi, but she saw Huo Zheng skillfully put the porridge into a bowl, scooped a spoonful with a spoon, blew it cool, and then fed it to Chunzhi's mouth.
Song Wan'er thought to herself: This Prince Chang'an... is quite good at taking care of people.
Chunzhi had been having everything done for her in the South City Villa a few days ago, but today at the Song residence, with Song Wan'er watching her, she felt embarrassed.
"I'll do it myself." Chunzhi said as she reached out to take the bowl.
Huo Zheng refused to give it to her and insisted on feeding her.
Chunzhi blushed a little and insisted, "I can eat it by myself."
Huo Zheng said, "Take this bite first."
Chunzhi had no choice but to drink the honey porridge from Huo Zheng's hand.
After finishing her drink, she took the bowl and spoon from Huo Zheng and said to him, "You go and do your thing. I'll have dinner with Wan'er."
Huo Zheng glanced at Song Wan'er and said to Chunzhi, "Then eat slowly."
Then he turned and left.
As soon as he left, Song Wan'er immediately became lively. While picking up some food for Chunzhi, she said, "This Prince Chang'an seems cold and heartless, but I didn't expect him to feed people porridge."
Chunzhi, who was drinking porridge, almost choked.
She quickly served Song Wan'er a bowl of sweet porridge and blocked her mouth with food, "Eat quickly."
While drinking porridge, Song Wan'er thought that her brother was gentle enough, but even he couldn't serve others like this.
How could the noble King of Chang'an do such a thing so naturally?
It's really strange.
Song Wan'er wanted to say something to Chunzhi, but Chunzhi kept picking up food for her and asked her to eat more, leaving her no time to talk.
After the meal, Song Wan'er was full.
Chunzhi took Song Wan'er for a walk in the garden and met Doctor Zhao who lived in the Song residence.
Doctor Zhao took Chunzhi's pulse and said that she was about to give birth, so she must not worry too much and must stay in a happy mood.
Chunzhi was with Huo Zheng every day, and now that she had returned to the Song residence, he followed her back.
Today he even said that he wanted to marry her, so it was hard for her not to worry.
Why is it so difficult to live a simple life?
Doctor Zhao could only advise Chunzhi to be more open-minded and take things in stride.
Chunzhi felt tired after walking for a while. Song Wan'er reached out to support her. When they passed through the archway, they happened to meet Song Anlan head-on.
"Brother!"
"Mr. Song..."
Song Wan'er and Chunzhi spoke at the same time.
"Wan'er, Chunzhi." Song Anlan was covered in a thick fox fur coat, his face still pale. He smiled faintly at the two of them, "It's getting late, and the wind is strong in the garden. You can walk around and then go back to the house."
"Okay." Song Wan'er responded and asked Song Anlan, "Where are you going, brother?"
Song Anlan said, "I have to go out for something."
Song Wan'er didn't ask any further questions.
Song Anlan gave his sister a few instructions and continued walking forward.
"Mr. Song," Chunzhi called out to him, "I've let you down in our marriage and caused you to be criticized. I feel truly guilty."
"Chunzhi, you haven't let me down." Song Anlan said, "I was the one who suggested marrying you, but on the wedding day, I couldn't protect you..."
Mr. Song's voice was gentle, even apologetic, "I'm glad you don't blame me."
Chunzhi said: "Of course I won't blame you."
It was she who caused the trouble in the first place, so how could she blame Song Anlan?
Song Anlan looked at Chunzhi, his eyes serious as he said, "Chunzhi, I've actually considered you one of my own family for a long time. You and Wan'er are like sisters, so how about you treat me as your own brother from now on?"
