Chapter 66 Promise

Yuan Zhe moved first.

This time, he held the wine jug and refilled Chu You's and his own glasses.

Then, he put down the white porcelain flagon, held the cup with both hands respectfully to Chu You, and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

He respected Chuyou for this glass of wine.

Yuan Zhe didn't need to say anything, Chu You immediately understood that Yuan Zhe agreed.

Chu You finally breathed a sigh of relief, held the cup in one hand, respected Yuan Zhe, and drank the wine in one gulp, with a bold and unrestrained gesture.

Yuan Zhe filled the wine glasses of the two of them again, and said, "Your Highness, leave this matter to me."

What he was talking about was not only persuading those aristocratic families in the court, but also the empress dowager yuan.

"Then I'll entrust this matter to my cousin." Chu You's eyes and brows were suddenly tinged with joy, changing from the initial violent and gloomy appearance, his whole person appeared to be in high spirits.

Meeting Chu You's scorching and bright eyes, Yuan Zhe felt a little complicated, and a strange light flashed across his eyes.

After thinking about it, Yuan Zhe still weighed his words and reminded: "Your Highness, you should think clearly, the third girl from the Gu family can't help you with anything, so..."

He paused for a moment, fixed his firm eyes on Chu You's face, and continued clearly: "If your highness wants to marry her as the main concubine, then you must accept a daughter from a family as a side concubine."

Chu You: "..."

Chu You's complexion changed instantly, and his face became tense.

Yuan Zhe said again: "Your Highness, this is the minister's condition."

Yuan Zhe rarely referred to himself as a "minister" in front of Chu You, which obviously showed his business-like attitude.

Chu You didn't say a word, his thin lips were pursed into a straight line, and his hands on his knees were tightly clenched, trying to suppress the churning dissatisfaction in his heart.

There was dead silence in the private seat, the atmosphere was stiff, the silence spread, and the air gradually stagnated, as if a storm was about to come.

Yuan Zhe met Chu You's cold gaze without evasion, his face still maintained his persistence, and persuaded: "Your Highness, you need an aristocratic family."

He is not alarmist, nor is he threatening Kang Wang, the fact is that Kang Wang really needs an aristocratic family.

Chu You drank silently, his body still stretched like a bowstring.

While observing the changes in Chu You's expression, Yuan Zhe continued in an orderly manner: "Your Highness, although my Yuan family currently has a certain influence over other aristocratic families, the reason why the aristocratic family is a noble family is because it is noble and unyielding. Ao Ran. If you want the aristocratic family to be willing to do everything for His Highness, His Highness cannot treat the aristocratic family as a servant."

"A daughter from an aristocratic family comes from a noble background, gold is honored by jade, and it is a grievance to make her a concubine. Your Highness must let the aristocratic family see your sincerity."

Yuan Zhe spoke in one breath, and at the end, he added with earnestness: "Your Highness, the world has never been governed by the Son of Heaven alone."

What he said unfinished is that the world has always been governed by the emperor and his ministers together.

King Kang must rely on these aristocratic families if he wants to win the world, and he will also need to rely on these aristocratic families to govern the world in the future. The emperor and the aristocratic families are interdependent.

Afterwards, Yuan Zhe stopped talking and just looked at Chu You fixedly.

Chu You also did not speak for a long time, and the surroundings were silent.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu You finally nodded with difficulty.

Yuan Zhe felt relieved: what he was afraid of was King Kang's stubbornness, who loved the country and not the beauties. As long as Kang Wang has the overall situation in mind, he can rest assured and have enough confidence to persuade the Queen Mother.

Chu You bowed his hands to Yuan Zhe: "Just please cousin."

"Where!" Yuan Zhe got up and solemnly bowed to Chu You.

Chu You stood up, stroked his sleeves and said, "Cousin, I still have something to do, so I'll go first."

"Your Highness, go slowly." Yuan Zhegong sent Chu You away, and he could probably guess where Chu You was going, but he didn't say much.

As Yuan Zhe expected, after Chu You left the restaurant, he rode directly to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion with a hasty look on his handsome face. There were anxiety, anticipation, joy, and a trace of uneasiness on his handsome face.

He rode his horse and galloped all the way, passed through several bustling and lively streets, and arrived at Dingyuan Hou's mansion in just a cup of tea.

The servant knocked on the corner door of the Hou Mansion, and without waiting for the porter to notify, Chu You rudely pushed the porter open and barged in aggressively.

Chu You came to the Marquis Mansion, and the concierge naturally recognized the majestic King Kang, so he didn't dare to forcefully stop him. He just asked his mother-in-law to chase after Chu You: "His Royal Highness King Kang!"

As if he hadn't heard of it, Chu You walked forward with strides, his figure was as tall and straight as a sword, with an aura of gods blocking and killing gods, and Buddhas blocking and killing Buddhas.

Along the way, some servants of the Hou Mansion came to meet him, but these servants also did not dare to stop the majestic King Kang.

Chu You came to the main hall without hindrance.

His gaze caught sight of Gu Yunxie who was dressed in red at a glance. Her small face was drooping, and she stood with her knees bent. Her porcelain-like skin had lost its former radiance, and her eyes were full of repressed grievances and unwillingness.

Next to Gu Yunxie was the British princess Yu Shi. At this time, Yu Shi was picking up a hairpin from the tray held by the maid, and slowly inserting it into Gu Yunxie's bun...

Chu You seemed to have been slapped by someone, his face turned ashen in an instant, and a sinister coercion was released from his whole body.

He rushed into the hall like a gust of wind, and the low cries of maidservants and women rang out one after another, but Chu You didn't care, and rushed to Gu Yunxie with a clear purpose.

"Snapped!"

Chu You raised his arm and swung his palm, knocking over the red lacquered wooden tray in the maid's hand heavily.

A corner of the tray hit the back of the British Duchess's hand, and the hairpin and the tray fell to the ground with a bang.

The pearls on the hairpin scattered, and pearls the size of rice grains rolled all over the ground.

"Xiao'er!" Chu You stretched out his other hand with lightning speed, and grabbed Gu Yunxie's wrist with his thick palm, pulling her to his side.

The moment Gu Yunxie's dim eyes saw Chu You, they bloomed like a morning star, and her cherry lips moved slightly: "Your Highness."

The two words were hoarse and restrained, and her slightly moist pupils seemed to contain a thousand words.

It was as if an invisible knife had stabbed deeply into Chu You's heart, pulled it out, and stabbed it in again.

He couldn't believe that if he was one step late, would the marriage between Gu Yunxie and Fang Mingfeng be settled... He might lose her!

Just thinking about this possibility made Chu You feel so painful.

Fortunately, he arrived in time! Fortunately, he didn't lose his wife!

In the hall, Mrs. Gu, Mrs. British and the matchmaker watched this scene with different expressions, and the atmosphere was awkward and stiff. Kang Wang's move is tantamount to slapping the British government in the face in public.

Outside the hall, pairs of curious eyes watched the movement inside, and one pair of eyes belonged to Juanbi.

When Juanbi knew, it meant that Gu Yanfei also knew.

"Girl, it's a pity, you didn't see it with your own eyes. At that time, Kang Wang rushed in like a rampaging mad cow, and broke the good hairpin. That's Jin Yuji's hairpin!"

"Kang Kang took the third girl's hand and promised Mrs. Tai that she would give him another three days. Within three days, he would be able to come back to propose marriage again."

"The servant girl watched, and the third girl was so moved that her eyes turned red."

Juanbi was talking incessantly, and while talking, he was gesticulating and clapping happily when he talked about something interesting.

Gu Yanfei sat by the window in a relaxed posture, leaning against the back of the chair, listening absent-mindedly, playing with the phoenix-patterned jade pendant in his hand.

The touch of the jade pendant was delicate and moist, cold and smooth.

Gu Yanfei gently stroked the jade pendant with the pulp of her right thumb, concentrating on mobilizing the spiritual power in her body, and slowly guiding the bit of spiritual energy in the jade pendant to penetrate into the body along the pores of the finger pulp.

The warm spiritual energy is slowly flowing in the veins of the body...

From the dynasty to the present, there are three generations in total.

The first generation was Emperor Taizu, who conquered the world. After ascending the throne, he suppressed the family and implemented the imperial examination system.

The second generation is the first emperor, and the first wife is a girl from a poor family, chosen by the emperor Taizu. After the first emperor succeeded to the throne, he married a daughter from an aristocratic family as his successor and gave birth to King Kang. King Kang was the most beloved youngest son of the first emperor, so he wanted to change the crown prince, but in the end he was constrained by the court and failed. Therefore, the first emperor began to support the aristocratic family and create assistance for the youngest son.

The third generation is the current emperor.
