In fact, Shujie just said to Shuyao: "Shizi Ning is very interested in the dragon fruit we planted in the big flower pot. I have to go to the study to deal with some things, and Wen'er also has to go to the school. Yao'er, you will take care of me later.

Prince Ning, go take a look."

Shuyao responded softly: "Yes, big brother"

Haoning smiled happily: "Thank you, Brother Jie, thank you Yao'er." Brother Shujie is such a good person. He knows that the most urgent thing for him now is to talk to Yao'er face to face and wait for Yao'er's reply. As long as Yao'er nods, he will come in immediately.

The palace asked the imperial grandmother to grant the marriage as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams, right? Only by settling down as soon as possible would his heart be at peace.

After breakfast, Shuyao took Qi Haoning to the garden. Mother Liu, Lan Jin, and Zijin naturally followed, but they lagged behind by some distance.

Shuyao walks very lightly and has a graceful posture. Unless the oncoming wind blows, it seems that even the hem of her skirt does not make any ripples. And that breeze blows not only Shuyao's skirt and skirt, but also Shuyao's body.

The faint lotus-like fragrance of a girl came to Haoning's nose, making his heart flutter...

Haoning's voice was so soft that it dripped with tears: "Yao'er, I'm sincere. Whatever you want to ask, I will answer truthfully. I will never lie to you in this life. If you have any requests, feel free to ask me.

Whatever I can do, I promise you."

It was impossible for Shuyao not to be moved. She looked up at Haoning. Haoning's eyes were full of sincerity and expectation, which made Shuyao's heart tremble slightly.

Shuyao's experience in human relationships in her previous life made her particularly sensitive to other people's kindness, malice, and true and false feelings. In addition, the infiltration of the aura of the treasure box made the five senses of the three brothers and sisters extremely sharp, and they could quickly "see through" possible disguises.

Especially from the other person's eyes.

However, Haoning's eyes were very pure. At this moment, there was only her reflection in those bright black eyes, and his sincerity...

Shuyao said softly: "Brother Ning, why do you want to marry me? Is it because of what happened to Black Eagle last time?"

Qi Haoning looked at Shu Yao in disbelief, with a look of surprise on his face: "Yao'er, what did you just call me? Can you call me again? Yao'er, please." He reached out his hands excitedly to hold Shu Yao's hands.

He was afraid of offending the beauty, so he withdrew his hand in the middle. Shuyao always called him Ning Shizi, and the soft "Brother Ning" just now made his heart melt.

Qi Haoning's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Yao'er didn't reject him, right? Yao'er called him "Brother Ning"!

Looking at Haoning's shining eyes, Shuyao's heart softened. She couldn't bear to refuse: "Brother Ning, you haven't answered my question yet."

"Haha, it sounds so nice, Yao'er, can you always call me that from now on?" Haoning said with a cheerful smile, "I like you. So I want to marry you for no other reason. I want to repay your life-saving grace.

There are many ways. You don’t have to commit yourself to it.”

Just as Shuyao was about to speak, Haoning hurriedly said, "Yaoer, don't reject me. I can't say those nice things. I just like you. I fell in love with you the first time I saw you. Your father is the best catcher in the world."

Head, yes

A great hero of the imperial court, your eldest brother is the number one scholar in both civil and military affairs, and you are so beautiful. I am afraid that I am not good enough for you. At that time, everyone said that I was a weird and incompetent person who only had the status of Prince Yong's son.

So. I charged into battle in the South China Sea, and I only wanted to gain military honors with my own strength. I worshiped Ouyang Island Master as my teacher and practiced martial arts hard, and also hoped to be named on the gold medal list in martial arts. Yao'er, many people think that I have this status

No need for military merit or fame

.But I know that I am working hard mostly because of you. Even with my status as Prince Yong’s son, there will indeed be many people who are still willing to marry me, but Uncle Jin and Brother Jie are definitely not among them. I am more worried that you will

I treat them like those dudes who look down on me."

Haoning finished speaking in one breath and looked at Shu Yao with burning eyes: "Yao'er, I know that I can't compete with Brother Jie and Brother Yu. There are no masters as outstanding as these two in this class of martial arts, let alone

Are they also good at both civil and military skills? But Yao'er, I...I will prove that I am not bad either."

Shuyao's heart became softer: "Brother Ning, you don't need to compare with anyone. My mother said that everyone has their own strengths. It is not good to be arrogant, and it is equally bad to belittle oneself. Brother Ning has done a lot

Okay." The eldest brother Shujie started practicing martial arts with his father and master uncle at the age of three.

, has never stopped, and Qi Haoning was raised crooked by the concubine before, and his literary and military skills are mediocre. It was only after the Black Hawk assassination incident four years ago that he began to work hard to improve. In just a few years, he can achieve his current results.

Shujie, who had competed with Haoning two years ago and four years later, was also full of praise.

Haoning was so excited that his voice became hoarse: "Yaoer, is it true? Do you really think I did a good job?"

Shuyao was angry and funny, and glared at him with feigned anger: "You don't believe me?"

Haoning was stunned by that pretty and charming look, and said with a silly smile: "No, no, of course I believe Yao'er, I believe everything Yao'er says, and I will let Yao'er believe in me all her life.

"

A lifetime? Haoning has said "a lifetime" for the second time today. Shuyao sighed softly: "A lifetime is so long. Brother Ning, can you really make me trust you for the rest of my life? Brother Ning, you know my mother

There are things that my mother cannot tolerate, and I will never compromise."

Haoning nodded firmly: "Yao'er, believe me, I am not Murong Ziye." There is no point in saying more, time can prove everything. The grudge between Yao'er's mother, Zhen Zirou, and the Murong Mansion is known to everyone in the capital.

It was normal for Shuyao, who was growing up, to be scared about that incident.

However, how could he spoil his concubine and destroy his wife? His wife is his wife, he is the mistress of the house, he is the one who bears children and grows old together, and is the only one who is qualified to live with him in the same bed and die in the same cave...

And a concubine is just a plaything, a slave of the wife. If she doesn't recognize her own identity, she is not even qualified to be a slave.

Thinking of those restless "concubines" who always dream of things that don't belong to them, Haoning clenched his fists and squinted his eyes. In order to prevent his wife and children from being persecuted, maybe men shouldn't do it at all.

Concubinage. He has heard a lot about it over the years, especially when he just came back from the "Princess Zhangzhu's Mansion" in Jinwei Mansion last month. He still clearly remembers Aunt Zhangzhu's pale and haggard face.

.

Soon, another picture appeared in Haoning's mind. It was the happiness of Shujie and Nangong Miao looking at each other yesterday. At that time, he enviously thought that one day he and his little Yao'er could be like this.

.

"Yaoer, whatever Brother Jie can do, I can definitely do it." Haoning looked into Shuyao's eyes and said word by word. Shujie "Only marries one wife, and he can only have a concubine when he is thirty years old and has no children."

Who in the entire capital knows about this oath? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
