Chapter 743: If I lose, I won’t have a wife
In addition to the osmanthus forest, there is also a vegetable garden and wild chrysanthemums everywhere in the back mountain...
"Fifth brother, the scenery here is quite nice, almost catching up with our Phoenix Mountain." Tang Bao looked around with a smile on his face.
"We don't have an osmanthus forest on Fenghuang Mountain," Su Laowu said thoughtfully, "but we can clear a piece of land south of the academy and plant a field specifically for it..."
"Fifth brother is really smart!" Tang Bao's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "So, before every exam, let each student take a branch and use it as chicken soup!"
"Make chicken soup?" Su Laowu was confused.
"Haha... I just drink some chicken soup before the exam to replenish some nutrition and feel energetic." Tang Bao laughed.
Tang Bao didn't say that her so-called chicken soup was actually spiritual food.
After listening to Tang Bao's explanation, Su Laowu nodded.
"Yeah, that's right, that makes sense!"
Although I knew that what my sister said was not entirely true, I did not ask any further questions.
Tang Bao fooled his fifth brother and looked up at the osmanthus tree above his head.
I finally understand why this osmanthus tree has not been broken off.
——It’s too high!
Judging from the visual, the shortest one is at least 15 meters tall.
It’s a wonder those students can reach it!
"Fifth brother, you haven't lost your tree-climbing skills, have you?" Tang Bao urged excitedly, "Hurry up and climb up. I'll keep watch for you."
Su Laowu naturally doesn't know how to climb trees.
"Tell me, what's the matter with calling Fifth Brother out?" asked Su Laowu.
Tang Bao: “…”
Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from the fifth brother.
"Fifth brother, Sister Ning is a princess. What... do you think?" Tang Bao asked tentatively.
"Why do you ask?" The expression on Su Laowu's face was very calm.
Tang Bao said helplessly: "How can I not ask? You have been expressionless the whole time, and you didn't even look at Sister Ning. Sister Ning thought you blamed her for hiding her identity, and she was so worried that she couldn't eat. She didn't even eat a few bites of the vegetarian meal today..."
Su Laowu frowned and said, "How can we not eat? Go get a bowl of vegetarian noodles later..."
"Fifth Brother, will Sister Ning be able to eat it if I ask her for it?" Tang Bao interrupted Su Laowu and said with a hint of meaning, "If that were the case, she wouldn't have stopped eating even though she was facing a table full of vegetarian food."
Su Laowu: "...You can tell her that I asked for it for her."
"Fifth brother, I think it would be better if you told her yourself."
When Tang Bao said this, a serious expression appeared on her little face.
"Fifth brother, there's no need to test me now. You were a hero saving the damsel in distress today, and Sister Ning threw aside her reserve and revealed her feelings directly." Tang Bao said, "If you change your mind, Sister Ning will probably shave off all her worries and become a monk..."
"...Fifth brother, tell me honestly, is it because Sister Ning has become a princess that you feel unworthy of her, so you backed out? Or is it... because you're just a scholar, afraid of being criticized for currying favor with the powerful..."
Although it is said that the emperor's daughter has no trouble finding a husband, not everyone is willing to marry her.
After all, if you marry the emperor's daughter, don't think about having three wives and four concubines.
What's more, after the princess gets married, she will have her own princess palace.
Although the prince consort and the princess are husband and wife, they are also monarch and subject.
If you want to be intimate with your wife, you have to wait for the princess to call you.
Fortunately, there is no rule in this dynasty that prohibits the son-in-law from entering officialdom.
However, if the prince consort achieves success, it is hard not to be considered that he is relying on the princess's help.
As a result, some scholars who were arrogant because of their talent were naturally unwilling to marry a princess.
After hearing what Tang Bao said, Su Laowu said with some amusement: "What nonsense are you talking about? I was just thinking about how to propose marriage to her family."
Tang Bao: “…”
So, fifth brother, you were frowning because you were worried about how to propose marriage to the royal family?
You should have said it earlier!
Leave it to me!
"I originally thought that after the Autumn Examination, I would ask my parents to ask someone to propose marriage." Su Laowu didn't know what Tang Bao was thinking, and continued, "Now it seems that it won't work. We have to wait until after the Spring Examination. If I can make it into the top three, I can boldly ask the emperor for help. If not..."
He himself was too embarrassed to speak.
How could an ordinary Jinshi have the nerve to ask to marry a royal princess?
Although, in order to get a wife, one can sacrifice face.
However, even if you are shameless, you may not be able to marry her!
Su Laowu, who originally had a calm mind and was not under much pressure, now feels like a mountain is pressing on his back.
After all, he can't afford to lose!
If you lose, you won’t have a wife!
"If you don't win, I won't marry anyone else!" Princess Huaning walked over slowly, looked directly at Su Laowu and said, "If you don't ask for marriage, I will ask the Empress Dowager for a marriage myself!"
When Tang Bao saw the real boss coming, he immediately retreated.
"Fifth brother, go forward boldly and strike when the time comes!"
Tang Bao waved her little fist at Su Laowu.
Then, he said to Princess Huaning, "Sister Ning, I leave my fifth brother to you."
After saying that, he left the space to the two lovers and walked away briskly.
As soon as Tang Bao left, Princess Huaning became shy.
Not only Princess Huaning was shy, but Su Laowu's ears also turned a little red.
After all, this is also first love, right?
For a moment, the air seemed to be filled with an ambiguous factor, making people blush and their hearts beat fast.
"I, I didn't mean to hide my identity. Can you forgive me?" Princess Huaning bit her lip and said in a low voice.
"Not good." Su Laowu said.
Princess Huaning: “…”
My eyes suddenly turned red.
"I don't blame you at all, so how can I forgive you?" Su Laowu said again.
Princess Huaning: “…”
It felt like my heart fell from the clouds into the mud, and then flew back up to the clouds from the mud.
"Then why did you ignore me?" Princess Huaning suddenly felt a surge of grievance in her heart, and she couldn't help but shed tears.
She herself doesn't know what's wrong with her, and now she loves to cry.
Even through the veil, Su Laowu could tell that Princess Huaning was crying.
“Don’t cry…”
Su Laowu took a few steps forward and reached out to take off Princess Huaning's veil.
Princess Huaning was so frightened that she immediately took a step back and held her veil tightly.
"Don't look at it!" Princess Huaning sniffed and said, "It's too ugly!"
"It's not like I haven't seen it before." Su Laowu was a little helpless, and the embarrassment in his heart disappeared.
"That won't work!" Princess Huaning said, "I'll let you see it after I recover..."
At the end of the speech, his face was full of shyness and his voice was as low as a mosquito.
"Okay, I won't watch it." Su Laowu said good-temperedly, "You are not allowed to cry either."
The voice is gentle, like a spring breeze.
After saying this, he reached out his hand through the veil to wipe Princess Huaning's tears.
Princess Huaning suppressed her shyness and panicked heartbeat, stood still, and waited quietly.
Then, Su Laowu's finger touched her nose...
