With a "bang!", Cong Chongqiu fell heavily to the ground with an intoxicated smile on his face.
The moment his butt hit the ground, the smile on Cong Chongqiu's face disappeared.
Just now----was it Miss Shanglu who pushed him?
Cong Chongqiu looked in disbelief at where he and Shang Lu were standing, and then looked at the place where he had fallen.
Miss Shanglu pushed him more than ten meters away! !?
How is this possible!!!
Cong Chongqiu covered his chest in disbelief, "Uh...hiss~"
The dull pain in his chest told him that all this was real.
Cong Chongqiu was panicked. Miss Shanglu actually had natural strength just like the people of the Lin family.
“Huh~~~”
Cong Chongqiu stood up while enduring the pain in his tailbone and chest, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Tsk!
He almost forgot that Miss Shanglu was also from the Lin family, but was given the name Shanglu by Emperor Shengzhao.
He heard from Lin Changshou that there was Smilax china in the Lin family genealogy.
Cong Chongqiu rubbed his sore buttocks, and suddenly thought of Shang Lu's soft little hand covering his mouth, and couldn't help but laugh again.
Hehehe~~Hehe~~
It’s better for my wife to be stronger so that she won’t be bullied.
Just now, Miss Shanglu said that she wanted to get married after chatting with him, which should mean that she is willing to marry him.
He had to ask Emperor Shengzhao to grant him the marriage, so that he wouldn't be snatched away by someone else.
.......
"Why is your face so red?"
Lin Yiran looked at Shang Lu's flushed face and glanced at the courtyard. "Is the sun so strong?"
Shang Lu paused and hurriedly put the gold and jade hairpin wrapped in silk cloth behind his back.
"Well... I left too... too hastily, so..."
"Really?" Lin Yiran smiled and glanced at Shang Lu's hands hidden behind his back.
Shang Lu bit his lower lip, and under Lin Yiran's gaze, he hesitated for a moment before walking in front of Lin Yiran and placing the silk cloth hidden behind him on the table in front of her.
"Huh!?" Lin Yiran looked at Shang Lu in confusion.
Shanglu pursed his lips, and his face became visibly redder.
"This was given to me by Cong Chongqiu, the Great Protector of the Nation."
Lin Yiran raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at the silk cloth on the table, and smiled.
"Cong Chongqiu gave it to you, just take it."
Everyone knows that guy likes Chinese rhubarb.
Wherever there was Smilax china, Cong Chongqiu's eyes seemed to have taken root there, staring at the Smilax china, and his red face never cooled down.
Shang Lu lowered his eyes and twirled his fingers awkwardly.
"This is the gold and jade hairpin given to him by our ancestors."
"Oh!" Lin Yiran smiled and looked at Shang Lu curiously.
"Cong Chongqiu confessed his love to you?"
It was no wonder that she kept telling Cong Chongqiu that someone had taken a fancy to Shang Lu and wanted to propose marriage to her.
Cong Chongqiu doesn't know how to act unless he adds fuel to the fire. Every time he sees Shanglu, his face turns red and he can't fart for a long time.
She was anxious watching it.
If Shang Lu didn't also like Cong Chongqiu, she would have pointed Shang Lu to someone else.
Someone had a crush on Shang Lu and came to her to inquire about the news. She didn't make this up.
The most useful female official around her is not something that anyone can covet.
Many legitimate sons of noble families in the imperial city came to propose marriage, but she rejected them all.
The new law requires monogamy, but the illegitimate children of those aristocratic families have already been born, so they can't just throw them away.
Even if the concubines separated and moved out to live separately, the child was still related to his biological father by blood, so he would always visit him.
She didn't want Shang Lu to suffer if she married into such a complicated family.
"...Hmm~" Shang Lu nodded embarrassedly, "He said he wanted to be buried with me."
"......" Lin Yiran was stunned for a moment, "Hahaha..."
"Joint burial....ha...haha..."
Lin Yiran couldn't help laughing, raised her hand and patted Shang Lu's arm.
"It's great that you lived another day...but the joint burial will have to wait."
Shang Lu blushed and laughed, "He is just a simpleton..."
.......
"Your Majesty, I wish to marry Miss Shanglu. I beg Your Majesty to grant us this marriage!"
Cong Chongqiu lifted his robe, knelt down firmly, and looked at Lin Yiran with a pleading look.
Lin Yiran looked at the two big dark circles under Cong Chongqiu's eyes, and the corners of her mouth twitched twice.
These days, she deliberately took Shang Lu to play in the suburbs of the imperial city for a few days.
I just want to make Cong Chongqiu anxious.
It’s not that easy to get married.
Looking at Cong Chongqiu's appearance, he probably hasn't slept well in the past few days.
Lin Yiran glanced at Shang Lu behind the screen, then looked at Cong Chongqiu calmly.
"Have you thought it through?"
"Yes, I have thought it through very clearly. I will not marry anyone other than Shang Lu in this lifetime. I beg Your Majesty to grant my wish."
As he said this, Cong Chongqiu kowtowed heavily.
Lin Yiran looked at Cong Chongqiu and said seriously,
"Shang Lu is my right-hand man. I always treat her like my own sister."
"You married Shang Lu. If you dare to let Shang Lu down in the future, you will have to leave the house."
"Send him to the frontier, and never enter the imperial city again."
When Shang Lu behind the screen heard Lin Yiran's words, his eyes instantly turned red and tears of emotion fell down.
She raised her hand to cover her mouth and secretly swore in her heart that if Cong Chongqiu dared to betray her ancestors in this life, she would be the first to kill him.
Cong Chongqiu looked up at Lin Yiran,
"I am willing to do so. If I dare to betray Miss Shanglu, I will die a miserable death and be driven out of the house."
