"Actually..." Xue Shao showed some embarrassment at this time, and then continued, "Actually, I asked for this handkerchief from her on his own initiative."

"You took the initiative to ask her?" Zhang Zong was speechless when he heard this. Xue Shao's behavior was really unexpected. He didn't expect that he was quite bold in terms of feelings.

"Yes, Yuan Yi is a girl with a thin skin, so she is embarrassed to give it to me, so I can only take the initiative. And she is willing to hand over the handkerchief to me, which means she is still very satisfied with me!" Xue Shao said in the end and looked narcissistic.

However, Zhang Zong was a little silent at this time. After a moment, he said, "Sanlang, you have thought about this. If you really decide to marry Changsun Yuanyi, then you will be able to draw the bow without turning back, and you will never regret it again?"

The reason why Zhang Zong advised Xue Shao to be cautious was not because of Princess Chengyang, but because he also saw this during this period that Xue Shao really liked Changsun Yuanyi, but Changsun Yuanyi's attitude towards Xue Shao was a bit incomprehensible. Zhang Zong could even be sure that Changsun Yuanyi's feelings towards Xue Shao were definitely not as intense as Xue Shao's feelings towards her.

These are the results obtained by Zhang Zong's usual observations. Although Changsun Yuanyi is not very old, she is a woman who is more rational than emotional, especially her family affairs. Therefore, the reason why she agreed to date Xue Shao may be because she valued Xue Shao's family background more. You must know that Xue Shao is not only the emperor's nephew, but also the Xue family itself is also a famous aristocratic family and has a great influence in the court. If the Changsun family can marry the Xue family, it will greatly enhance the status of the family.

Of course, Changsun Yuanyi was not completely unfeeling towards Xue Shao, but she was more rational, and Zhang Zong didn't know whether this situation was good or bad. After all, he was a bachelor for both lives and was not familiar with his marriage life, so he could only advise Xue Shao to be more cautious.

Xue Shao is not a fool, and he has known Zhang Zong for so long, and he can hear what he meant. He was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Brother Shi, I know what you mean, but a manly man, since I chose her, I will not give up easily!"

Xue Shao suddenly paused when he said this, then smiled at Zhang Zong and said, "Don't you think Yuan Yi is really suitable for me?"

Xue Shao's last words also stunned Zhang Zong. He didn't expect Xue Shao to have such a plan. However, if you think about it seriously, Changsun Yuanyi has his own opinions on the family. Although Xue Shao has a good character, he actually has no other advantages except to taste delicious food. It can be said that he is not good at literature or martial arts. He really needs a virtuous wife to help him take charge of the family business. In comparison, Changsun Yuanyi is indeed much more suitable than Taiping.

"Okay, since you have thought it through, I won't advise you anymore, but I've given you all my handkerchiefs. When are you going to come to propose marriage?" Zhang Zong immediately patted Xue Shao's shoulder and smiled. In just one year, Xue Shao has matured a lot, which made him quite relieved.

"I'm just worried about this matter!" Xue Shao smiled bitterly when he heard this question. He and Changsun Yuanyi had no problem, but the key to the problem was his mother, Princess Chengyang. If she didn't agree, then the marriage would be troublesome.

"Brother Shi, can you help me..."

Xue Shao's eyes rolled at this time, and he was about to speak to Zhang Zong, but he immediately interrupted: "Don't think about it. Your mother wants me to persuade you to stay away from the Changsun family. Now you ask me to persuade your mother again, where did I get such great skills?"

"Brother Shi, then you have to help me think of a solution. How can I get my mother to agree to my marriage with Yuanyi? If I can't marry Yuanyi in this life, what's the point of living?" Xue Shao begged again. He knew that Zhang Zong had many ideas, and compared to his son, Princess Chengyang could listen to Zhang Zong's words more, so he asked Zhang Zong for help.

"Difficult! It's too difficult!" Zhang Zong shook his head and smiled bitterly. On the day before yesterday, he made Princess Chengyang's attitude relax a little, but this did not mean that the other party agreed to Xue Shao marry Changsun Yuanyi. It was just that the princess was unwilling to force Xue Shao to force Xue Shao to be too nervous. If Xue Shao really went to her to mention the marriage of Changsun Yuanyi, she would probably be scolded by her.

"Is there really no way?" Xue Shao said with a depressed expression when he heard Zhang Zong's words. Even Zhang Zong, who is usually resourceful, was helpless. He suddenly felt a little desperate. If it really didn't work, he could only fight head-on with his mother.

"Let's do this. Anyway, you and Changsun Yuanyi are not old. Don't be in a hurry. During this period, we have thought about ways and maybe we can find an opportunity to persuade the eldest princess to change her mind." Zhang Zong thought for a moment before speaking again.

"It's all that's the case now!" Xue Shao smiled bitterly when he heard this. Even Zhang Zong had no choice but to wait patiently.

"Actually..." Zhang Zong suddenly had an idea at this time, "Actually, the eldest princess mainly wanted you to marry Taiping, but if the palace disagrees, the eldest princess's plan will be dashed. Is there any way for His Majesty to disagree to marry Taiping to you?"

"How is this possible? My uncle is so kind to my mother now. On the contrary, the queen of divine is more likely to oppose my marriage with Taiping. However, the queen of divine still has to listen to my uncle in the end, so brother Shi's idea is impossible!" Xue Shao immediately shook his head, and even felt that Zhang Zong was a little whimsical.

"In addition to Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven, as the eldest brother, can the prince also affect Taiping's marriage to some extent?" Zhang Zong suddenly smiled.

"Yes, my cousin is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and the eldest brother of Taiping. As the saying goes, the elder brother is like a father, and it can indeed affect Taiping's marriage, but..." Xue Shao's eyes lit up first, but at the end, his tone became low again, because he didn't know how to convince Li Hong to help him?

"The prince's side is a good breakthrough, but this is all your family affairs, so you'd better go find him yourself. I can't help you in this regard!" Zhang Zong smiled and patted Xue Shao on the shoulder and said, although Li Hong may not be able to influence Li Zhi's opinions, it is at least a solution. As for whether it can be successful, it depends on Xue Shao himself.

"Okay, then I'll try it out!" Xue Shao finally gritted his teeth and said, "It's better to have a solution than to no one." Although there is little hope for this method, it's at least worth a try.
