The room was very quiet, and the maids around him didn't even dare to show off their anger. Zhang Zong was sitting upright on the chair, staring at Princess Chengyang in front of him without blinking, waiting for her to make a decision.

In fact, Xue Shao's approach was very risky, because he pushed himself and Princess Chengyang to a point where he could not retreat. If Princess Chengyang gave in and agreed to Xue Shao's marriage with Changsun Yuanyi, of course everyone would be happy, but if she made up her mind to disagree, there would be no room for negotiation.

After thinking for a long time, Princess Chengyang suddenly raised her head, stared at Zhang Zong with a sharp look and asked, "Zhang Zong, tell me honestly, how long can a person live if he doesn't eat?"

Zhang Zong was so scared that he was sweating coldly when he heard this. Princess Chengyang even asked such questions. Could it be that she really wanted to starve Xue Shao to death?

"The eldest princess is calm. Although it can last for a few days if you don't eat, it will cause great harm to the body. Especially when Sanlang is growing, it will cause even more harm to him if he doesn't eat. When I saw him today, I found that he was already very haggard. If he had hungry for a few more days, there would be a problem!" Zhang Zong hurriedly advised.

However, the eldest princess did not seem to listen to Zhang Zong's words, but instead said to herself: "I heard from others that if you don't drink water, you may die of thirst in three to five days. But if you don't eat and drink water, you can live for a month. When a monk from India came to Chang'an, he locked himself in an empty box for a month. When he opened it, he still lived. It seems that it should be true."

"Princess, don't believe these lies. Everyone's physical condition is different. Some fat people can indeed live a few more days when they are hungry, but some people will have problems when they are hungry for a few days. In addition, Sanlang is a greedy person and has a greater appetite than ordinary people. In this case, he is even less hungry than ordinary people. Don't take risks!" Zhang Zong was frightened when he heard this and immediately advised him again.

Seeing Zhang Zong's panicked look, Princess Chengyang gave him a blank look and said, "Look, you scared. He is my son. Do you think I will really watch him starve to death?"

"Uh? Princess, what are you planning?" Zhang Zong was also confused when he heard this. Since Princess Chengyang couldn't bear to starve Xue Shao to death, why did he ask such a terrible question?

"I just ask casually, why, can't it be?" Princess Chengyang gave Zhang Zong a blank look again. But when she said this, she couldn't help but sigh, and a look of loneliness appeared on her face.

The woman's heart is a needle under the sea. Zhang Zong finally realized the meaning of this sentence. Not to mention that women in love are not easy to guess, even women who are mothers are not easy to guess. However, Zhang Zong was still very excited because he felt that Princess Chengyang's attitude had loosened.

"Zhang Zong, you are also a young man. Will one day you will be like Shaoer, seeking death for a woman?" Princess Chengyang suddenly asked Zhang Zong again after being silent for a long time.

"This..." Zhang Zong didn't know how to answer after hearing this. Although he was a teenager on the surface, he was the soul of a middle-aged man. He had long lost the impulse of love when he was young. Of course, no one can tell the matter of love. Maybe one day, a woman who made him obsessed with him may not necessarily appear in front of him?

"What is love in the world? It's just that people can agree with each other. Princess, you are a veteran, so you should be more considerate of Saburo, right?" Zhang Zong did not answer directly, but copied a famous saying from later generations and kicked the ball back.

"Me?" Princess Chengyang was stunned at this time, with a look of memories on her face. After a moment, she sighed with a dim expression, "I don't understand, because I have no similar experience."

"Uh? Why can't it be..." Zhang Zong was stunned again when he heard Princess Chengyang's words. Then he wanted to ask in surprise, but he felt it was not appropriate, so he stopped halfway.

However, Princess Chengyang seemed to be touched by Zhang Zong's words. She sighed again and said: "When I was young, I did have some fantasies about my future husband. Unfortunately, I am a princess and my marriage cannot be decided by myself, so I eventually married Du He. Unfortunately, Du He is devoted to his career. Our couple has not had much communication for several years. In the end, he was killed because he encouraged his elder brother to rebel."

When Princess Chengyang said this, a sad look appeared on her face: "Although Du He is my husband, I have no feelings for him. Even because he encouraged his elder brother to rebel, I hated him because of this. However, after so many years, I have already let it go."

"Later, under the arrangement of my father, I married Shaoer's father. After marriage, we had a very good relationship. I also felt the beauty of the marriage for the first time. However, we had no contact before marriage, and all the feelings were cultivated after marriage, so I can't understand Shaoer's feelings for Yuanyi." Princess Chengyang said quietly at the end.

Zhang Zong had known that Princess Chengyang had two husbands, but for the first time he heard her mention these two marriages, so he was a little surprised at this time. However, he immediately felt a little sympathetic to Princess Chengyang. Even as a princess, he had no say in marriage and could only obey his father's arrangements. Thanks to Xue Shao's father Xue Guan, who is a talented man, is handsome, and has no ambitions, and is very caring for Princess Chengyang. From this point of view, Princess Chengyang is quite lucky.

"The eldest princess has no such experience, which is a great regret in life. But since Sanlang now has someone he likes, the eldest princess might as well help them, so as not to leave a lifetime of regrets!" Zhang Zong was silent for a moment and advised again.

"Yes, there is no need to let the children eat the hardships that their parents have suffered again. The marriage of the imperial family is mixed with too many benefits, which also leads to the misfortune of many people in their marriages." Princess Chengyang whispered again, with a little sadness in her expression. Although she is lucky, most of her sisters have various problems in their marriages.

"The eldest princess is wise!" Zhang Zong also flattered the other party again when he heard this. Princess Chengyang's attitude began to change significantly. Although this change was forced, as long as Xue Shao could marry his sweetheart, nothing else mattered.
