Zhou Jin didn't even turn his head. "I'm not stupid. Stop it. You really want to beat me up! You do something like this and everyone will despise you."

"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be achieved at the same time. Today, I, Zhou Jin, want to be loyal and have no time for filial piety. I hope that my father will turn back from his wrong path and not help the tyrant to commit atrocities and leave a bad reputation for eternity!"

When Changning Marquis Zhou Ze heard his son's words, he almost fainted.

He works so hard outside to deal with people with ulterior motives, and he cannot tell outsiders about these actions!

He knew that marriage was not a good idea, but in order to "fish", he did it anyway.

In the court, he was scolded by some arrogant courtiers.

In fact, being scolded by court officials didn’t matter, Marquis Changning didn’t care at all.

Your Majesty, just know that he is loyal!

But how could this evil son, who was scolding him, be able to perform beyond his normal level and compose such a good poem?

At first, he was indeed acting, pretending to teach Zhou Jin a lesson.

But after hearing these poems, Marquis Changning really wanted to beat his own son to death!

Seeing Gu Xiling hiding at the Moon Gate, Xiulan asked quietly, "Madam, aren't we going in to stop the fight?"

"You are stupid! The old lady and the madam haven't arrived yet. If I, a daughter-in-law, rush over, what if the Marquis can't catch up with the Prince and beats me?" Gu Xiling said while staring at Zhou Jin who was dodging and running.

It is said that the prince is both an excellent poet and a talented poet, and it is indeed true.

These poems are much better than the previous sour poems!

When you get back, write this down for Zhou Jin!

Xiulan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and shook her head, but the Crown Prince's wife was right, the Marquis was so angry, they should better protect themselves.

The old lady and Mrs. Song received the message and hurried over.

Seeing this, Gu Xiling quickly waved her hand and said, "Sir, here, grandma and mother are here!"

When Zhou Jin heard Gu Xiling's voice, he turned quickly and ran towards Gu Xiling.

As soon as he ran out of the Moon Gate, the Old Lady and Mrs. Song stood in front of him and stopped the angry Marquis Changning.

"Evil son, why don't you put down the sword? Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, why do you want to kill your own son?" The cane in the old lady's hand was about to hit the nose of Marquis Changning.

Changning Marquis Zhou Ze gnashed his teeth in anger, "Mother, you protected this stinky boy without knowing right from wrong. He wrote a poem to curse me. But I am his father!"

The old lady was suspicious and turned to look at Zhou Jin, "Jin'er, that's your father, why are you doing this?"

"My father went to court today and actually reported to His Majesty that he agreed to a marriage alliance with the Kingdom of Yue. When the news reached the Department of Agriculture, his colleagues denounced the marriage alliance as cowardly and shameless."

"We are born as Han Chinese. If we need to marry into a foreign country to maintain security and stability, wouldn't that be incompetent? Just wait. Maybe tomorrow someone will throw filth into our Changning Marquis's mansion."

Just as he finished speaking, the doorman came to report.

"Madam, this is bad! Someone threw a lot of dog shit at the door of our mansion!"

The old lady almost choked out of breath, raised her cane and stabbed the Marquis of Changning, "You evil child, don't move, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of my ancestors!"

Seeing that the old lady was about to beat the Marquis of Changning again, Gu Xiling quickly pulled Zhou Jin back and said, "Mother, please persuade grandmother. The prince is not feeling well. Your daughter-in-law will take him back first."

When Song saw Marquis Changning dodging his mother-in-law's stick, she suppressed the upturned corners of her mouth and pretended to be anxious and worried.

"Go back!"

"Mother, calm down!"

……

What happens in the garden next is no longer something Gu Xiling can control.

Her small hand held Zhou Jin's big hand, and she walked briskly, "Prince, hurry up, I just heard your poem, it's thought-provoking, it's really a century-old masterpiece!"

Zhou Jin, who was originally snorting angrily, was shocked when he heard that Gu Xiling did not complain about him for writing sour poems, but praised him for his good verses.

"Madam, do you really think that the poems I wrote are good?" Zhou Jin asked excitedly, his eyes bright.

Gu Xiling nodded, speaking sincerely, "The poem that the prince just wrote is full of satires that marriage is a sign of weakness and cowardice, and a shame. People in the world should take this as a warning, be self-reliant, and not use Han women to buy temporary peace."

"My wife, you are Jin's confidant!" Zhou Jin's eyes became brighter. At this moment, he knew that Gu Xiling understood him.

He once read his grandfather's notes on the border, which recorded that the foreign people on the border burned, killed and looted, and that Han women became the targets of their bullying and captivity. It was extremely cruel.

Although he did not experience it personally, he could tell from his grandfather's anger at the time from the handwriting that was so powerful that it could be seen through the paper.

Unexpectedly, his father actually advocated marriage.

The Han woman was not robbed, but was offered to him voluntarily.

Is there any reason for this?

If my father really made this happen, my grandfather’s coffin would never be able to close!

No matter whether his father is real or fake, Zhou Jin will oppose it anyway!

With Gu Xiling's comfort, Zhou Jin gradually calmed down.

After returning to Zizhuyuan, Zhou Jin re-copied the poem he had just written.

Gu Xiling pouted her lips, blew on the ink that had not yet dried, with a serious look in her eyes.

After the ink dried, she carefully folded the poems and said, "Thank you, Prince, for giving me these beautiful poems!"

"My wife likes it. I will write more poems in the future." Zhou Jin felt proud inside. My wife recognized my talent!

Gu Xiling paused, thinking of those "poems" Zhou Jin had written, and smiled awkwardly, "You don't have to do it often! As the saying goes, writing is a natural thing, and it is achieved by a master's hand. If you try too hard, it won't be beautiful!"

"Madam, that's right." Zhou Jin agreed with what he said. "Madam, don't you think I was reckless just now? It's embarrassing to be chased and beaten by my father."

When Gu Xiling heard this, she smiled secretly, but she couldn't let Zhou Jin think that she was laughing at him.

"Your Highness, this is wrong. You are acting in a just manner, and you are not deliberately disobeying your father!"

"Your Highness is sincere and everyone in the Marquis' Mansion can feel it. However, our Kang State is now strong. Since Yue State wants to marry, then we should follow the rules of our Kang State."

Hearing this, Zhou Jin looked puzzled, "Madam, don't you disagree with the marriage? Even if Yue agrees to all our conditions, it is still a shame to marry a Han woman to them."

Gu Xiling had bright eyes and white teeth, and smiled slyly, "Prince, since the Kingdom of Yue is crying and shouting for a marriage with our Kang Dynasty, then we should satisfy their wishes and let their princess marry into our Kang Dynasty, or send their prince to our side to marry into our family."

Zhou Jin was stunned, savoring it carefully, tapping his palm with the folding fan in his hand, "Great! Xiling, your idea is great! Xiling, go back and rest first, I have to write a memorial tonight!"

Gu Xiling nodded, "Then I won't bother you, Prince! When you write a memorial, you must raise the dignity and prestige of our Kang Kingdom to the highest level!"

Zhou Jin smiled proudly, "My lady, wait for the good news!"

After Gu Xiling left, Zhou Jin spent two hours meticulously and skillfully writing a "New Marriage" memorial that was both eloquent and impressive!

Tomorrow's court will surely be extremely lively!
