Du He was so ashamed of being accused that he became angry and said: "You keep talking about making great achievements, but the humble minister never thought that your highness is also such a common man! Yes, Zhou Daowu is in the Liaodong admiral army, Wang Jingzhi is brilliant in literature, shrewd and capable, and Cheng Huailiang is brave and good at fighting. , Xiao Rui is in charge of the military and political frontiers of the North, and Fang Jun is even more impressive and talented. Among the princes in the dynasty, I am the only one who has accomplished nothing! But is it because I, Du He, have no ability? It’s because I don’t have that. Opportunity! Your Majesty is increasingly wary of Guanlong, how can I reuse my Du family in Fangling? Even the marriage with Your Highness was decided when my father was alive. If it were changed today, how could I be able to reach the position of Your Highness? A high branch?"
Princess Chengyang raised her head and looked at Du He with clear eyes. Her red lips opened slightly, and she was a little surprised by Du He's excessive reaction today.
But Du He became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, as if all the oppression he had suffered since getting married would be lifted today. He frowned and blushed: "Wei Chen knows that His Highness despises him from the bottom of his heart. Compared with those outstanding children of aristocratic families, It is true that Wei Chen can't do anything without military skills, but is that what Wei Chen wants? If Wei Chen has the opportunity to lead troops, who dares to say that he can't show his power in foreign lands and conquer the northern border with his troops? But Wei Chen has no chance! Now, not only are those villains outside mocking me for relying on my father and ancestors’ shadow and waiting to die, but even His Highness looks down on me as a husband!”
The grievances that had been accumulated for a long time were poured out today with the help of wine, which made Du He feel deeply relieved!
He never thought that his talents were insufficient. Instead, it was his family background that seemed glorious and prominent in the eyes of others, which caused the current emperor not to reuse him.
If it weren't for the fear of the relationship between the Du family in Fengling and the Guanlong nobles, why were so many princes-in-law reused, but he was the only one who couldn't stretch his ambitions?
In particular, Princess Chengyang's calm and indifferent temperament all day long made him feel frustrated.
As a husband, it’s okay if you don’t get the admiration and affirmation of your wife. Even if you hope that your husband will become a dragon, hate that iron can’t be made of steel, scold yourself a few times when you have nothing to do, and encourage yourself to make achievements, it can still make him feel that his wife cares about him. of attention.
However, Princess Chengyang will never dislike or complain. It is like facing an insignificant person. It has nothing to do with her whether he is soaring to the sky with success or is wasting years without accomplishing anything.
It's okay if he doesn't get recognition. Now he can't even feel his presence. This is an unparalleled blow to a man.
Ignorance is the most fatal injury...
Princess Chengyang's face was like a flat lake. She looked at the furious Du He without any ripples, at least it was not visible on her face, just like a pool of well water without any ripples.
After a long while, she said indifferently in a cold voice: "So, if you want to heal the relationship with Fang Jun, you want to dedicate your wife to him, even if you suffer endless humiliation, just to pave the way for your future. ,Soar?"
Du He was shocked and said angrily: "What did you say?"
Princess Chengyang's beautiful face was as frozen as ice, her eyes flashed with luster, and she didn't know whether it was anger or indifference: "Pat your chest, you dare to say that you have never thought about letting me go south with Fang Jun, taking the opportunity to make friends, thinking Will you help me in the future?"
Du He's face turned blood red, his eyes wandered for a moment, and then he became furious and shouted: "Fart! Although I can't compare to Fang Jun's meritorious service, how can I be a rat who sells his wife for glory? Yes, I think so. I beg you to go south, not with Fang Jun, but with Gao Yang, Changle and the others. As long as we can have a good relationship with them, the Fang and Du families will naturally relax. No matter how dirty I, Du He, am, how can I do it myself? Putting your wife on someone else’s bed?”
Princess Chengyang glanced at him lightly, lowered her head slightly, and did not respond.
Apparently he dismissed Du He's explanation and confirmed his own guess...
Seeing his wife's slender figure, beautiful face, and such an uncaring, cold and indifferent expression, Du He's anger suddenly drained away.
Strange bedfellows, maybe that’s it?
Although they have been married for some time, Du He has never felt the love between a man and a concubine, and the love between honey and oil is more like perfunctory, even if he exerts all his strength Jieshu tried his best to please, but never received a fierce response.
This is another man's deeply frustrated feeling.
He was even willing to believe that if he had any shortcomings, His Majesty Li Er would immediately choose a good son-in-law for Princess Chengyang, and Princess Chengyang would happily remarry without any reluctance towards his "ex-husband" Nostalgic...
Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite, but why is it so difficult to recite this sutra in my own family?
Du He sat back in his chair slumped, staring at the beams, speechless for a moment.
To put it bluntly, he felt at this moment that even if Princess Chengyang stole someone and felt guilty towards him, it would be better than this indifferent and extremely cold attitude...
A man who cannot even surrender to his own woman is simply the greatest failure.
No matter what fame and wealth, what great achievements, Du He suddenly felt a void in his heart. All the things he had pursued tirelessly before seemed to be nothing. If he didn't even have a woman to live with him sincerely in his life, , how is it different from The Walking Dead?
Even if I give you this beautiful country, I'm afraid you won't feel the slightest sense of accomplishment.
He stood up and said in a low voice: "Whatever your Highness thinks, from now on, although we are called husband and wife, we will not interfere with each other, and I will definitely not harass Your Highness."
He lifted his robe and walked out quickly.
Princess Chengyang was sitting in the hall, without even turning her eyes. She just pointed at the tea cup on the coffee table with her slender fingers. The maid beside her quickly stepped forward, poured a cup of tea for her and handed it to her hand.
Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea, Princess Chengyang turned to look at the maid and asked softly: "Do you think... Is this palace going too far?"
The maid lowered her head and looked at her toes, thought for a while, and then said cautiously: "Your Highness is a noble person, so why should you condescend to anyone or flatter anyone? As long as you think it is appropriate, no one will dare to accuse you. .”
Princess Chengyang was silent.
She really looked down on Du He from the bottom of her heart. She thought that this dandy boy had no backbone and no talent except relying on the legacy of his ancestors to live a luxurious life. He was a seven-foot tall man with no ambition to make progress. He only wanted to indulge in pleasure and eat until he died. .
But if you don't care, that's not necessarily the case.
After all, according to the orders of her parents and the words of the matchmaker, if she marries Du He, she will be the daughter-in-law of the Du family. Unless something terrible happens, she will never remarry.
The royal family has already given birth to a Princess Changle. If there is another peaceful Princess Chengyang, the father's face will be completely wiped out...
So all the indifference she showed was more to stimulate Du He.
If a dignified man of seven feet is looked down upon by his wife, shouldn't he be brave and cheer up after realizing his shame? As long as Du He is determined to forge ahead, relying on his status as consort, the energy of Fangling Du family, and the connections left by Du Ruhui in the past, even if he may not be able to become his wife and son after becoming famous, it is not difficult to achieve something.
As a result, I seemed to have overestimated Du He's strength and character. Instead of cheering him up, he seemed to have collapsed and lost his confidence completely...
Princess Chengyang rubbed her forehead irritably. She couldn't figure out why Fang Jun, who was such a great person at the time, could suddenly change his face after having an epiphany. Originally, a playboy bully could dazzle with dazzling achievements, but this guy of hers who seemed smart enough , but you get into the corner of the bull's horn and live like a dog, without seeking to make progress?
With a faint sigh, Princess Chengyang sat upright and whispered: "Tell the servants to harness the carriage. I want to go out."
The maid responded: "Here."
Then he asked, "Where do you want to go, Your Highness?"
Princess Chengyang said quietly: "Where else can we go? Of course it is the Fang family. I am going to visit Sister Gao Yang and travel to the south of the Yangtze River with her."
The maid hurriedly said: "Here!"
He didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he quickly ran out and ordered someone to set up the car.
Princess Chengyang sat there, took another sip of tea, lightly licked her temple hair, and sighed softly, with a look of resentment on her face.
After all, when a couple is together, no matter how dissatisfied they are, they can't really stand by and look on coldly. They always have to help. After all, a wife is honored by her husband, and he can't change the fact that the Du family's wife is the daughter-in-law, so he can only accept her fate.
