Because of Sun Hao's warning again, Zhong Shao's defense against the prince had unknowingly reached its peak. Even the guards came down the mountain to summon him so soon before, which seemed a little unusual to her.

However, until everyone returned home, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not show anything out of the ordinary.

He really seemed to intend to win over Zhong Shao, with an amiable attitude, he would strike up conversations with her from time to time, and he also expressed some kindness overtly and secretly, but that was all.If it is said that His Royal Highness is condescending to please others, there is absolutely no such thing—his actions are what a prince who wants to seize power should do, and Zhong Shao can't see anything wrong.

A group of people were eating, drinking, talking and laughing, and in the middle of the afternoon, this inexplicable party broke up.Although the prince wanted to win people over, he had an unreliable father on his head, most of the government affairs fell on him, and he didn't have so much free time to stay outside the city for a long time.

The crown prince led the crown prince guard and left first, and the others started to descend the mountain one after another.From the beginning to the end, Zhong Shao couldn't say a word to Su Mo, because she was always surrounded by other aristocratic women, and they were not that familiar yet.

This time the hunting out of the city ended in an anticlimax after all because of this accident.However, during the visit to Chaoyang Mountain, apart from the Prince's question, Zhong Shao didn't take other things too seriously, but the day after returning to the city, she received a special invitation.

The post was sent by Su Han, asking Zhong Shao to meet at Zuimoxuan, the time is still on the same day.

When Zhong Shao received the invitation, she felt baffled, but because of Su Han's identity and the princess's face, she had to go this time.So after asking the two gentlemen for leave, she took Xiao Shan out to the appointment.

Zuimoxuan is a restaurant in the east of the city. Anyang used to be the capital of the former dynasty, and Liang Guo has not moved the capital to other places since the founding of the country. Therefore, the division of labor in this city is very clear and perfect.The east of the city is the gathering place for dignitaries, and the Zuimoxuan located in the east of the city is naturally not an ordinary restaurant. The layout of the building is not only exquisite and rich, but also full of elegance.

Su Han reserved a box, and when Zhong Shao arrived, he had already arrived first.

Xiao Shan and other attendants were left outside the door, and only Su Han and Zhong Shao were in the box.Since it wasn't meal time, Su Han didn't order any food or drink, he just wanted a pot of good tea, and before Zhong Shao came, he was already enjoying the scenery by the window with a cup of tea.

When Zhong Shao arrived, the sound of the door opening and closing startled Su Han, he turned his head to see that he was still a gentleman, nodded slightly and said: "Ah Shao is here."

Regarding Su Han, Zhong Shao felt that he did not have a deep friendship with him, let alone why he suddenly found him today.However, he doesn't have any bad feelings towards Su Han himself, Zhong Shao. Unlike Su Yan, Su Han's elegance is really engraved in his bones, and his every move is the character of the family. He doesn't have the calculations like Su Yan in his eyes.

Zhong Shao stood at the door and raised his hand to salute, and said, "Zhong Shao is late, please forgive me."

Su Han shook his head, pulled up his sleeves and raised his hands, motioning for her to take a seat opposite him: "I'll be there when someone delivers the post. Besides, the appointed time has not yet arrived, so how can you say you are late?" He said for a while , and said: "But I suddenly sent a post to invite you, which is a bit abrupt."

Zhong Shao hurriedly said that he didn't dare, and then he walked over, lifted his robe and sat down.

The two drank a cup of tea, during which Su Han never left Zhong Shao's eyes, observing her appearance, figure, demeanor and demeanor.That scrutinizing gaze made Zhong Shao's back feel cold, and he couldn't help but secretly lowered his head to examine himself a few times, thinking that there was something wrong with his clothes and accessories when he went out today, or that he had inadvertently revealed some flaws .

After drinking a cup of tea, Zhong Shao finally couldn't stand being watched, and couldn't help but stretched out his hand and tugged at the corner of his clothes and asked, "My lord suddenly invited me here today, what's the matter?"

Su Han also saw Zhong Shao's nervousness, he smiled and looked away, then lowered his eyes and sipped his tea, Fang said: "Ah Shao, don't be nervous, I have something to tell you."

In fact, Zhong Shao seldom feels nervous when facing someone, and she can't explain why, and it is always difficult for her to feel any disturbance in her heart when she sees those big people.However, there are exceptions. When facing Princess Yingyang and Su Mo, she always feels uneasy. Now that Su Han is looking at her like this, she also feels nervous... Could it be that she owed it in her previous life? This family? !

Thoughts let go for a moment, and Zhong Shao quickly restrained her back. She restrained all the nervous expressions on her face, and maintained her calm: "My lord, please speak."

Su Han thought for a moment, and then asked: "Does Ah Shao have a marriage contract?"

This topic was caught off guard, and Zhong Shao was stunned by the question, subconsciously replied: "No."

After the words were finished, Su Han's serious expression suddenly relaxed a lot. With a smile on his face, he asked again: "You have been with Mo'er a few times, so what do you think of her?"

"Bang Dang", the tea cup in Zhong Shao's hand fell on the table, and the whole person was frozen in place by this question—she was indeed young, and her human experience was still lacking, but such an obvious Lalang partner It's impossible for her not to hear the dialogue!

So, what exactly did Su Han want to ask her out today? !

************************************************** **

Until returning to his own mansion, Zhong Shao's expression was a little dazed, and he even tripped over the threshold when entering the door, and almost fell to the ground on the spot.Fortunately, Xiao Shan, who was beside him, responded in a timely manner and hurriedly helped him, but he asked worriedly, "My lord, are you alright?"

Zhong Shao didn't say a word, waved his hand with a heavy heart, and went back to his small courtyard on his own.

Su Han invited her out today, in fact, for the purpose of marriage.

The crown prince had made his statement yesterday, so the time for the emperor's draft is not far away.Su Mo has turned sixteen this year. She is the eldest princess' daughter and the emperor's niece, but whether her surname is Su or not, she cannot avoid the draft.But in her capacity, not to mention being filled into the emperor's harem, it is perfectly normal to point out to a prince or prince, the so-called kissing and kissing is like this.

It's a pity that among those princes and princes, there are very few who can catch Su Han's eyes, and the aristocratic family's attitude towards this kind of thing is roughly the same - look down on those in the royal family, and quickly find a suitable marriage partner in the aristocratic family to digest it internally!

Su Han didn't have a crush on any boy, but he had a crush on Zhong Shao before.Although Zhong Shao is a little younger, but his vision is vicious, he can see that she will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future, and with the eldest princess and Yu Guifei as the backing, it is difficult to think about the future in the future—as the eldest The princess's former bedside person, he naturally knew the means of Her Highness, those two women were not easy-going lamps, and simple grace was not enough for them to have the power and status they have today.

Ever since he saw Zhong Shao at the Princess Mansion, Su Han has been thinking about this matter, and when Su Yan knew about it, he secretly fanned the flames beside him, bent on making this matter happen.Regardless of whether or not doing so would pave the way for Su Yan's marriage as the eldest princess said earlier, in Su Han's view, it is naturally better to have the best of both worlds.

But out of consideration for Su Mo, Su Han still asked Zhong Shao out in advance to ask a few words.In case Zhong Shao was unwilling and self-defeating made her feel resentful, and ended up harming her own daughter for the rest of her life.

"So, how did you reply, my lord?" Lianqiu asked Xiao Shan and after learning the details from Zhong Shao, she asked.

Zhong Shao glanced blankly at Lianqiu, who had become more and more fresh, and said innocently: "I don't know, I never thought about it. When Mr. Su asked, I said I didn't know, I have to ask Auntie."

This is the standard answer, but from another point of view, it means that she herself has no objection!

Lianqiu couldn't help raising her hand to her forehead, and murmured: "How can you agree to this matter?! With your status... If it really happens, the princess and the noble concubine will not be able to quarrel in the future and part ways..."

Xiao Shan on the side heard it, and was a little confused, so: "What's wrong with the identity of the young master? Why can't this matter be done?"

Lianqiu and the two gentlemen were the only ones in the mansion who knew Zhong Shao's true identity. Even Zhao Guanshi, who was in charge of foreign affairs, didn't know, let alone Xiao Shan.He thinks this marriage is a good thing. It not only strengthens the alliance between Concubine Yu Gui and the eldest princess, but also completely binds Jing Guogong's mansion into it. deficit.

Lian Qiu didn't bother to explain to him, so he waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, I don't have time to talk to you, let's go play."

After saying this, Lianqiu left in a hurry, thinking about it, she must have gone to send news to Concubine Yu Gui in the palace.

Zhong Shao was already preoccupied, seeing Lianqiu's reaction, he couldn't sit still.She didn't have any elders in this mansion, and the only person who could ask advice was Xu Wenjin, so after returning to her room and sitting for a few minutes, she got up and hurried to Zhaowen Hall again.

Xu Wenjin is actually a lazy character, after coming to this mansion to sit as a teacher, he seldom goes out.Today Zhong Shao asked for leave and didn't go to class, so he was cooking tea and reading in his small courtyard, occasionally looking up at Wu Changjun, who was recovering from boxing, and he was enjoying himself.

When Zhong Shao came, he was in a hurry, and the expression on his face was heavy or tangled.

Xu Wenjin rolled his eyes and thought about it, but he didn’t realize that there was any major event in the book at this point in time—in fact, the time when Zhong Shao was 12 years old was all mentioned in the book, since she was taken away by Concubine Yu when she was nine years old. Time spans to sixteen, and he never wrote about what happened to her when she was 12 years old—so he asked Zhong Shao without paying attention, "Why did you come here suddenly?"

After asking, Xu Wenjin took a sip of the tea he had just brewed, and then listened to Zhong Shao's tangled words: "Sir, the student wants to ask for advice." Without waiting for Xu Wenjin to agree, he took a deep breath and continued. : "Master Su intends to marry me, this matter... how can I refuse this matter."

With a "poof", Xu Wenjin spewed out a mouthful of tea.

The author has something to say:

Xu Wenjin (shocked): What what?The person surnamed Su knows your identity, has a crush on you, and wants to marry you? !This beast! ! !

Zhong Shao (with a delicate expression): ...he sees me as his son-in-law

Xu Wenjin (calmly): Oh, let’s do it, what’s the big deal, it’s supposed to be anyway
