Zhou Zimo watched Zhao Muyao leave. He felt that the Fifth Princess must be dealt with, otherwise, if she stayed, she would only ruin his plans.
?
But Zhou Zimo soon thought of a perfect idea.
?
"Hasn't Qishan already negotiated with the Xiongnu to select a princess to marry? I think the fifth princess is of the right age! As for whether she wants to make the two countries friendly or hostile, that's her own business."
?
That night, Zhou Zimo hurried out of the house and visited the homes of several ministers.
?
The next morning at the court session, someone proposed to confirm the candidate for the bride.
?
Among them, the fifth princess has the highest voice!
?
"Your Majesty has only three princesses. The eldest and third princesses are not of the right age. I think only the fifth princess is suitable for marriage!"
?
"I second the proposal!"
?
But there was a dissenting voice at night, from the family of the Fifth Princess's biological mother, the Imperial Concubine. "I think it's inappropriate! The Fifth Princess has an arrogant personality, and it's really not suitable for her to go to the Xiongnu to marry!"
?
Fortunately, His Majesty did not make a decision immediately.
?
But after the court session, the Fifth Princess heard the news, and she immediately came to the door of the imperial study and burst into tears, "Father, I don't want to marry! I want to be with you, Father, and I won't go anywhere!"
?
But at this moment, Marquis Pingxi was invited to the imperial study, so he naturally heard the wailing of the fifth princess, and of course Zhou Zimo was also present.
?
When the door of the imperial study opened, the fifth princess saw the Marquis of Pingxi and his son coming out.
?
But she couldn't care about Zhou Zimo at the moment. Zhao Muyao ran in quickly and knelt upright in front of the emperor.
?
"Father, Mu Yao does not want to marry! Mu Yao wants to stay by your side for the rest of her life, please allow me!"
?
But His Majesty said nothing and just stared at her.
?
Zhao Muyao's heart sank. She thought she knew her father's temper very well. Whenever her father was silent, it meant he was unhappy.
?
In fact, Zhao Muyao should have left now. At least her father would reward her with a lot of dowry because she sacrificed for the country!
?
But Zhao Muyao was reluctant to leave the capital and marry into the Xiongnu clan. She never thought that this would happen to her!
?
Ever since she overheard the conversation between her mother and her second brother, Zhao Muyao has been panicking, especially since her mother has already accepted the fact and agreed to let her marry!
?
Zhao Muyao naturally knew that compared to her second brother, she, a princess, was dispensable, but she was scared when she thought about going to the Huns and marrying a man who ate raw meat and drank blood!
?
So Zhao Muyao bribed the guards in the imperial study and came to the imperial study to cry.
?
"Mu Yao, as a princess, you have enjoyed wealth and glory that ordinary people cannot enjoy. Now that the country needs you to stand up, you back down? You only care about your own enjoyment and don't care about the lives of the people. I don't have a daughter as selfish as you."
?
Soon His Majesty spoke.
?
Then Zhao Muyao was carried out by the guards.
?
Her father's voice was still ringing in her ears, "If you don't want to marry, I will deprive you of your title of princess and demote you to a commoner!"
?
Zhao Muyao never thought that her father would be so heartless. If she still wanted to keep the title of princess, she had to marry!
?
But soon after that, the imperial concubine sent someone to take Zhao Muyao back.
?
As soon as they met, Zhao Muyao was slapped by the imperial concubine.
?
"Asshole! How dare you go to your father and refuse the marriage proposal without permission! Do you have any brains at all? I really don't know how I gave birth to a brainless daughter like you."
?
Facing the Imperial Concubine's accusations, Zhao Muyao also threw herself into a desperate struggle, "Is there any place for a daughter like me in your heart, Imperial Concubine? I heard the result of your discussion with the Second Imperial Brother. You want to abandon me and fulfill the Second Imperial Brother's reputation! But you, your mother, are also my mother. Why are you so cruel to abandon me?"
?
But the imperial concubine didn't want to say more. She asked someone to keep a close eye on Zhao Muyao and not allow her to make any mistakes.
?
So ten days later, when the Hun envoys came, they took the fifth princess away for marriage. Of course, His Majesty also gave her a lot of dowry, which was enough for Zhao Muyao to squander for a lifetime.
?
Now that everything has been settled, Zhou Zimo feels relieved.
?
God knows he was worried every day these days, fearing that the fifth princess would suddenly appear and ask to marry him.
?
As for Xie Liuzheng, Zhou Zimo wrote a letter to explain, but there was no response yet.
?
It was a day off, and Zhou Zimo came to the garden early to wait for Xie Liuzheng.
?
But I never expected that Marquis Pingxi would bring Elder Feng here.
?
"Master Feng, please!"
?
Looking at Zhou Zimo who went to the study room one after another, he couldn't help but look tense. You know, this Elder Feng is a veteran of three dynasties and is also the mentor of His Majesty.
?
He holds great influence in the court, but Zhou Zimo cannot understand why Elder Feng came to the Marquis' Mansion?
?
But soon Xie Liuzheng came out, and Zhou Zimo could no longer care about Elder Feng, and hurried to greet him, "Morning, Miss Xie!"
?
Xie Liuzheng didn't expect to meet Zhou Zimo as soon as she walked out of the yard. She nodded politely and distantly at Zhou Zimo, then walked towards the door with Chunyue.
?
Seeing this, Zhou Zimo immediately followed.
?
But before Xie Liuzheng could leave, she saw the soldiers around Pingxi Hou coming to her, "Miss Xie, the Marquis wants to see you!"
?
"What does the Marquis want to talk to me about? Is it about my mother?" Xie Liuzheng was confused, but she still walked towards the front yard.
?
When Zhou Zimo saw Xie Liuzheng heading towards the front hall, he couldn't help but guess that it must be related to Elder Feng.
?
But he didn't know why Elder Feng came to see Marquis Pingxi? And it seemed to involve Xie Liuzheng, which made him even more confused.
?
"What's the matter?"
?
For some reason, Zhou Zimo had a bad feeling in his heart.
?
He just couldn't understand why Elder Feng came to the Marquis' Mansion specifically to find Zhou Zheng. What did this have to do with Xie Liuzheng?
?
"No, I want to go see what's going on."
?
After saying that, he ran towards the front yard.
?
Xie Liuzheng was also confused. She was brought before Elder Feng. Xie Liuzheng bowed in a daze and received a gift.
?
A noble scholar like Elder Feng is admired by scholars all over the world, but today Elder Feng condescended to meet her, and Xie Liuzheng was a little flattered.
?
But Elder Feng only sat for a while before getting up and leaving.
?
"I am sorry to bother you by coming here today, but I hope you will think carefully about what I said."
?
After saying this, Elder Feng smiled meaningfully at Xie Liuzheng before slowly leaving.
?
As soon as Lord Feng left, Xie Liuzheng looked at Marquis Pingxi in confusion, waiting for him to answer her questions.
?
"My Lord, I wonder why Elder Feng came here?"
?
Zhou Zheng looked at her, "Master Feng came here especially for you."
?
"For me? But you don't know him?"
