Zhu Ying was secretly annoyed because Zhang Shou called her Miss again, but when she heard the term "the most beautiful woman in the world", her annoyance disappeared and she was replaced by happiness. But when the last question came, she couldn't help but look a little gloomy.
Seeing that this question stumped Zhanjin and Liuyin, or that neither of them dared to answer easily, she slapped the armrest and said unhappily, "So what? There are many people who admire me openly or secretly! They are either pig-headed idiots or pretentious. I am too lazy to even look at them, otherwise I would want to wash my eyes!"
"There are also some hypocritical people who are sanctimonious. They are clearly staring at me secretly all day long, but they dare not admit it. They even shake their heads and sigh behind my back, saying that they are attracting bees and butterflies and bringing disaster to the country and the people. Pah, hypocrites, I have beaten two of them in public!"
Seeing that she was getting more and more angry, Zhang Shou couldn't help but laugh and said, "A gentleman is attracted to a beautiful lady, this is human nature. As for the hypocrite who likes beauty on one hand and pretends to be serious on the other, if he is caught in the act, he should be slapped in the face!"
However, Zhang Shou just realized that he had been diverted by the domineering Zhu Ying after agreeing with the young lady who dared to love and hate. Seeing that her eyes were looking at him more passionately, he quickly got back to the point and said, "I want to ask, will there be any admirers of yours who will chase you to this rural place?"
Well...
It was rare for Zhu Ying to meet a man who agreed with her extraordinary behavior - and this man was the "fiancé" her father had inexplicably arranged for her - if she was only pleased with his appearance when they first met, now she felt that he was quite to her liking in terms of both character and personality.
The only bad thing is that even those who slandered her behind her back would deliberately use their words and actions to attract her attention in front of her, but Zhang Shou was always so distant!
Therefore, although she didn't understand why Zhang Shou was suddenly interested in her admirer, she still closed the loophole directly.
"My father has been impeached, and my eldest brother is missing. These guys have always been seeking profit and avoiding harm, so they may not miss me. But it's hard to say. There are many idiots like the pig-headed Lu family. After all, they are drooling over any beautiful woman. Anyway, you don't have to care about them. If someone really comes to you, just ignore him! Even if my father is in a bad situation, I have my grandmother, so they dare not do anything!"
At this point, Zhu Ying snorted, "My grandmother and the empress dowager are full sisters. When the emperor ascended the throne, he was still young, and the empress dowager ruled the country from behind the scenes. My grandmother disciplined my two uncles and did not allow them to interfere in government affairs. When the emperor got married at the age of fourteen, the empress dowager immediately withdrew from politics and has been enjoying her old age these years. The emperor respects the empress dowager and my grandmother the most."
"My father was promoted by Emperor Ruizong. When the Empress Dowager was in charge of the army at the beginning, he immediately gave up the military power after the Emperor took power in the eighth year of Yongchen, and occasionally helped with military and national affairs."
"After a series of defeats this time, the emperor personally entrusted him with an important task, and he accepted the order to go to Datong. I believe in him, he will definitely not lose! Xuanfu also has the support of the Duke of Chu. Even if they have a grudge, they will never hold each other back at a critical moment!"
Zhang Shou originally thought that the mountain of Duke Zhao’s Mansion was a bit high, but now he felt that this mountain was simply reaching the sky!
