At this moment, Zhang Shou really felt a little bit of pain in his teeth. The emperor actually gave his subjects advice on how to fall in love. Is this reliable? Moreover, what does it mean to use him as an example? However, he thought that the emperor was just giving some advice, but who knew that the emperor would become even more excited when he saw Zhang Chen's dumbfounded look.
"Yingying once told me that Jiuzhang avoided her at first, as if he was afraid of trouble. But she was persistent and kept pestering him. She also moved Jiuzhang's adoptive mother, who was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law who came to her doorstep. Over time, Jiuzhang saw her good points and changed his attitude unconsciously."
"If you work hard enough, you can grind an iron rod into a needle!"
This is not the right thing to say, Emperor! Zhang Shou really couldn't stand it this time. Seeing Zhang Chen actually looking at him, he could only cough heavily. Then, under the extremely strange gazes of the Third and Fourth Princes, he said seriously, "Your Majesty, Miss Ye is not Yingying, and Zhang Chen and I are not the same."
"Do we have to ask Zhang Chen to go directly to Miss Ye's house to impress her elders and then ask for marriage?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor laughed and said, "Why not? For those women who participated in the selection and passed the re-selection, although Yingying is now on my behalf to consult with each family, up to now, among these twelve people, only one has been married, and her marriage was not very good. The rest have almost all been invited by Yingying to be female teachers in the women's school."
"I am not against the girls' school recruiting people to be female tutors. After all, these girls can pass the second level, so their character and talent are naturally first-class. Even if they get married, they can also go to the girls' school to be female tutors. What's the matter with the men in the capital not daring to marry them? No matter how good they are, I can't leave them to Sanlang and Silang! As for the ordinary royal family sons marrying them, I think it's a pity for them!"
"If it weren't for you, Zhang Chen, being ambitious and willing to work hard, and having a different temper from your usual arrogant and domineering self, I wouldn't have said this! Zhang Chen, you wouldn't tell me that you still miss Yingying in your heart, right? According to the status, she is already your junior master's wife!"
Zhang Chen felt that he shouldn't have come to Ciqing Palace today. He never thought that one day he would be forced to marry, and by the emperor! He did stand up today, but it was not a hero saving a beautiful woman, but simply because he couldn't stand the character of the widow Gu. The two swords Ye stabbed before leaving were indeed very satisfying. He couldn't propose marriage just because someone's behavior suited his taste!
He was tired of those ladies who cried or pretended to be nice when something happened, so he liked Zhu Ying's pride and cheerfulness before. But he didn't go to that extent with Ye, and he had only met her a few times... Of course, the most important thing was that she didn't seem to have a good impression of him, so why should he give in? However, it seemed that Zhu Ying treated him the same as others, and he still responded to her call.
In this way, although he had said to Zhang Shou that he wanted a beautiful woman to be his wife, and even his father had asked Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying to help him make a match, he did not seem to be motivated enough. Back then, he was not the kind of person who would give up after a setback. He would ask about Zhu Ying's whereabouts every day and chase her. Zhu Ying even scolded him for being wishful thinking!
