066 promise
Yuan Zhe took the lead.
This time, he held the wine bottle and refilled Chu You's and his own glasses.
Then, he put down the white porcelain wine bottle, held the cup with both hands respectfully towards Chu You, and drank the wine in one gulp.
This glass of wine will be served to you by him.
Yuan Zhe didn't need to say anything else, Chu You immediately understood that Yuan Zhe agreed.
Chu You finally breathed a sigh of relief, held the glass in one hand, saluted Yuan Zhe, drank the drink in one gulp, and acted boldly and wildly.
Yuan Zhe filled their wine glasses again and then said: "Your Highness, leave this matter to me."
He was talking about not only persuading the noble families in the court, but also persuading the Empress Dowager Yuan.
"Then I'll leave this matter to my cousin." The corners of Chu You's eyes and brows suddenly became filled with joy, and he changed from the initial violent and gloomy look, and his whole person appeared to be in high spirits.
Facing Chu You's burning and bright eyes, Yuan Zhe felt a little complicated, and a strange light flashed across his eyes.
After thinking for a while, Yuan Zhe still considered his words and reminded: "Your Highness, please think clearly. This third girl of the Gu family can't help you with anything, so..."
He paused for a moment, fixed his firm gaze on Chu You's face, and continued clearly: "If Your Highness insists on marrying her as your main concubine, then you must accept a daughter from a famous family as your concubine."
Chu You: "..."
Chu You's expression suddenly changed, and his face became tense.
Yuan Zhe said again: "Your Highness, this is my condition."
Yuan Zhe rarely called himself "Chen" in front of Chu You, which obviously showed his official attitude.
Chu You said nothing, his thin lips pursed into a straight line, and he squeezed his hands tightly on his knees, trying hard to suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart.
There was a dead silence in the lounge, the atmosphere was stiff, the silence spread, and the air gradually became stagnant, as if a storm was coming.
Yuan Zhe looked at Chu You's cold eyes without evasion, his face still maintained his persistence, and he persuaded him nicely: "Your Highness, you need aristocratic family."
He was not alarmist, nor was he threatening King Kang. The fact was that King Kang really needed a noble family.
Chu You drank in silence, his body still as tight as 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 on other aristocratic families, the reason why the aristocratic family is a noble family is because of its unyielding character and integrity. Aoran. If you want the family to be willing to do everything for His Highness, Your Highness cannot treat the family as a servant."
"A daughter from an aristocratic family is of noble birth and has a high level of wealth and wealth. It is already unfair for her to be your concubine. Your Highness must let the aristocratic family see your sincerity."
Yuan Zhe spoke in one breath, and at the end, he added seriously: "Your Highness, this world has never been governed by the emperor alone."
What he left unfinished was 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 conquer the world. In the future, he will also need to rely on aristocratic families to govern the world. The emperor and the aristocratic families are interdependent.
After that, Yuan Zhe stopped talking and just looked at Chu You steadily.
Chu You also didn't speak for a long time, and the surroundings were silent.
I don’t know how long it took, but Chu You finally nodded with difficulty.
Yuan Zhe felt relieved: what he was afraid of was that King Kang was stubborn and loved the country more than beauty. As long as King Kang had the overall situation in mind, he could rest assured and have enough confidence to convince the Queen Mother.
Chu You bowed his hands to Yuan Zhe: "I'll leave it to my cousin."
"Where!" Yuan Zhe stood up and bowed to Chu You solemnly.
Chu You stood up, stroked his sleeves and said, "Cousin, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"Your Highness, go slowly." Yuan Zhe sent Chu You off respectfully. He probably could 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 Hou Mansion. His expression was hurried, and his handsome face showed anxiety, expectation, joy, and a trace of uneasiness.
He galloped all the way, passing through several bustling streets, and arrived at the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion in just one cup of tea.
The chamberlain knocked on the corner door of the Hou Mansion, and before the concierge could inform him, Chu You rudely pushed open the concierge and barged in aggressively.
Chu You had been to the Hou Mansion, and the concierge naturally recognized the dignified Prince Kang, and did not dare to stop him forcefully. He only ordered his mother-in-law to chase Chu You from behind: "Your Highness, Prince Kang!"
Chu You seemed as if he hadn't heard anything, and strode forward with rapid strides. His posture was as straight as a sword, and he carried an aura of a god blocking a god, and a Buddha blocking a Buddha.
Along the way, some servants from the Hou Mansion came towards him, but these servants also did not dare to stop the dignified King Kang.
Chu You came to the main hall without any hindrance.
His eyes immediately caught sight of Gu Yunkuang, who was dressed in red. Her face was lowered and she was standing with her knees bent. Her white porcelain skin had lost its former luster, and her eyes revealed suppressed grievance and unwillingness.
Next to Gu Yunchun is the British princess Yu. At this time, Mrs. Yu is picking up a hairpin from the tray held by the maid and slowly inserting it into Gu Yunchun's bun...
Chu You seemed to have been slapped in the face, his face suddenly turned pale, and his whole body released a sinister coercion.
He rushed into the hall like a gust of wind, and the low voices of maids and women could be heard all around him, but Chu Youhun didn't care and rushed to Gu Yunchuang's side with a clear purpose.
"Snapped!"
Chu You raised his arm and waved his hand, slamming over the red lacquered wood tray in the maid's hand.
A corner of the tray hit the British lady-in-law on the back of her hand, and the hairpin fell to the ground with the tray, making a clanging sound.
The pearls on the hairpin spread out, and pearls as big as rice grains rolled all over the floor.
"Kui'er!" Chu You stretched out his other hand with lightning speed, grabbed Gu Yunchun's wrist with his thick palm, and pulled her to his side.
The moment Gu Yunzhuang saw Chu You, his dim eyes bloomed as brightly as a morning star, and his 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 pierced Chu You's heart deeply, pulled it out, and pierced it again.
He couldn't believe that if he had been a step too late, Gu Yunchun and Fang Mingfeng's marriage would have been decided... He might have lost her!
Just thinking about this possibility made Chu You feel miserable.
Fortunately, he arrived in time! Fortunately, he did not lose his daughter!
In the hall, Mrs. Gu, the British duchess and the matchmaker looked at this scene with different expressions, and the atmosphere was awkward and stiff. Prince Kang's move was tantamount to slapping the British duchess in the face in public.
Outside the hall, pairs of curious eyes were watching what was going on inside, and one of them belonged to Juan Bi.
If Juan Bi knows it, it means Gu Yanfei also knows it.
"Girl, it's a pity that you didn't see it with your own eyes. At that time, King Kang rushed in like a rampaging mad cow and broke all the good hairpins. That was Jinyuji's hairpin!"
"Kang Wang took the third girl's hand and vowed to his wife that she would give him three more days. Within three days, he would be able to propose marriage again in a glorious manner."
"My slave is watching. The third girl is so moved that her eyes are red."
Juan Bi talked non-stop, gesticulating as he spoke, and gave a high-five happily when he got to the point he was interested in.
Gu Yanfei sat leisurely by the window, leaning against the back of the chair, listening absentmindedly, playing with the phoenix pattern jade pendant in his hand.
The jade pendant feels delicate and moist, cool and smooth.
Gu Yanfei gently rubbed the jade pendant with the fingertips of her right thumb, concentrating on mobilizing the spiritual power in her body, and slowly guided the little bit of jade pendant's spiritual energy to penetrate into her body along the pores of her fingertips.
The warm spiritual energy slowly flows through the veins of the body...
------Digression-----
The dynasty has lasted for three generations till now.
The first generation was Emperor Taizu, who conquered the world. After he ascended the throne, he suppressed aristocratic families and implemented the imperial examination system.
The second generation was the late emperor, and his first wife was a girl from a poor family, chosen by Emperor Taizu. After the late emperor succeeded to the throne, he married a daughter from a noble family as his successor, and gave birth to King Kang. King Kang was the late emperor's most beloved son, so he wanted to change his life.
He wanted to establish a prince, but in the end he was hampered by the constraints of the court and failed. Therefore, the late emperor began to support the family and create support for his younger son.
