In the southeastern suburbs of Bianjing, on the lower reaches of the Cai River, there is a relatively deserted and spacious river channel.
In the summer evening, the willows on both sides of the bank are thick and green, the cool breeze is blowing, and a painting boat is parked on the shore.
The silk and bamboo in the ship building were leisurely, and the beautiful figures were swaying. Cao Bin, who was sitting on the couch, looked at the dance in front of him with great interest and smiled faintly.
Princess Zhaoyang is just that. Although her movements are a bit unfamiliar, they are reasonable. However, Zhao Fujin seems clumsy. Three out of ten movements are wrong. She is particularly awkward among a group of dancers who specialize in this dance, but she has a unique and cute attitude. .
However, Cao Bin was not surprised. The princess of the Song family was good at poetry and calligraphy. In terms of skills, she also played music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she was not good at singing and dancing.
Two royal ladies have condescended to come and dance, so why ask for too much?
Seeing Cao Bin's smile getting stronger, Princess Zhaoyang stopped her movements angrily, took down the dance music, sat down next to Cao Bin, and naturally took the cold handkerchief he handed her, wiping the thin hair on her pretty face. Khan complained:
"We have good intentions and you make fun of us."
Cao Bin waved his hand and smiled:
"No, no, the princess misunderstood. I was flattered and a little confused..."
As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Fujin, who was standing behind Princess Zhaoyang, looking a little embarrassed and said:
"Princess, which episode is this?"
"How dare you trouble Princess Yanqing to perform a dance?"
When Princess Zhaoyang heard this, her eyes were full of tenderness and sweetness and she said:
"Although you say no, you are thinking about your sister in your heart. This time you offended that woman from the Pan family. It's really hard for you."
Although she had conflicts with Zhao Ji, they were brothers and sisters after all, and she did not want to see him executed.
After Cao Bin rejected his request for Zhao Fujin last time, I thought he wouldn't take action. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be clear now, so I was very surprised.
What made her even more happy was that this also showed her importance in Cao Bin's heart.
Hearing this, Cao Bin felt guilty. He supported Empress Dowager Liu and Zhao Ji just to retaliate and warn Empress Dowager Pan. He really didn't think of Princess Zhaoyang.
And these two things are not difficult to do.
Empress Dowager Liu was looking for foreign aid to break through the palace's restrictions. When Cao Bin sent a message, she couldn't wait to cooperate. Zhao Ji's case was similar.
Cao Bin originally thought that enough was enough and he would act based on Queen Mother Pan's reaction. If her reaction satisfied him, he would step aside and let go.
But looking at the current posture of Princess Zhaoyang and Zhao Fujin, he couldn't help but say:
"It's a small matter, the princess's matter, no matter how difficult it is, I will take it to heart."
Seeing Princess Zhaoyang hugging him with a smile on her face, Cao Bin didn't pay too much attention. The worst he could do was hide outside for two days and let his subordinates and Wang Yanling make Zhao Ji's matter true. Empress Dowager Pan had no choice but to negotiate with him...
In fact, Cao Bin didn't care about Zhao Ji's life or death. Even if he could save his life, he would not be able to escape being demoted to a commoner.
This had little impact on Cao Bin, but could actually stimulate Queen Mother Pan.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Princess Zhaoyang was already as charming as silk. She leaned on Cao Bin and exhaled softly:
"Cao Lang, I'm a little tired..."
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhao Fujin.
Cao Bin chuckled and said:
"Shall I help you take a rest?"
After saying that, he picked her up, gave her a real "princess hug", and walked upstairs.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Zhao Fujin shyly following behind him. Cao Bin was filled with anticipation. Could this be a thank you gift? It was too exciting.
Seeing that Cao Bin was distracted and did not object, Princess Zhaoyang looked confused and said with a smile:
"Cao Lang, as the saying goes, a life-saving favor should be given with one's own body."
"Now that you have saved Fu Jin's father, how about marrying her as a mother-in-law?"
She had never thought of such a ridiculous idea, but a few days ago, Zhao Fujin listened to the female officer's idea and wanted to devote himself to saving his father, so she thought about it.
Even if Zhao Ji saves his life, he may be plotted by Pan and his daughter at any time. It is necessary to find a backer for her family. Relatively speaking, Cao Bin is the most reliable.
That's why she had this gorgeous thank you banquet. She planned to take this opportunity to win a good reputation for her niece.
When Cao Bin heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then put Princess Zhaoyang down and said angrily:
"I rescued people because of the princess's deep love and kindness. How can I repay her in return?"
"Besides, this is ridiculous and unfair to Madam Fujin. Please forgive me for not being able to agree to it... then, leave!"
He originally thought it was a game of indulgence, but he didn't expect it to be a game of forced marriage. He couldn't agree to this.
Cao Bin spent a lot of thought to arrange the eighth sister Yang properly, but he didn't want to cause a fire in the backyard because of Zhao Fujin. Although he was lustful, he clearly distinguished between love and desire, and he didn't want to let Pang Yanyan fall into a dilemma.
Furthermore, there are restrictions on the gift of mother-in-law and marriage. How can you marry just by saying you marry?
When Zhao Fujin heard this, he was disappointed and relieved at the same time, and said happily:
"Auntie, look, I have known for a long time that Mr. Cao Hou is a very good person. He is upright and does not expect repayment for his kindness. You have misunderstood Mr. Cao..."
From the moment she saw Cao Bin's calligraphy and paintings, she admired him very much.
Even if her own father was plotted by Cao Bin, she secretly found countless reasons for him.
Although she didn't mind committing herself to him, she didn't want Cao Bin's image in her heart to collapse.
Princess Zhaoyang looked at the silly niece very speechlessly, and she didn't want to say anything. How could this bastard show kindness without expecting repayment? It's obvious that he doesn't want to be responsible.
As soon as he heard that he had to take responsibility, he immediately changed his tune, and all the good people let him do it.
Although Princess Zhaoyang complained secretly, she didn't expose it, and she didn't want to let Cao Bin leave. She finally asked him out. Who knows when she would have such good free time again.
Seeing that the female officer who was accompanying her had already stepped forward to stop her, she felt relieved...
In the palace, after Empress Dowager Pan passed the marriage ceremony, she originally wanted to negotiate peace with Cao Bin immediately and try to prevent Empress Dowager Liu and Zhao Ji from getting out of trouble.
Unexpectedly, Cao Bin disappeared for two days in the name of claiming illness and recuperating, and no one could be found.
In this case, although she was very angry, she could only suffer the loss of being dumb.
She just couldn't understand how brave this guy was to run out to "recuperate" when the storm was raging in the court...
[Congratulations to the host, for having the courage to leave behind fame, wealth, and worldly affairs, and being natural and independent, in line with the evaluation of a playboy, and awarded 11,000 points for a playboy]
Cao Bin had just returned to the capital on the princess's carriage when he heard the prompt from the Space-Time Mall. Seeing a total of more than 13,000 points, Cao Bin felt happy.
It is now possible to purchase a batch of military souls for the trapped camp. Now a total of more than 330 people can be gathered, which is one step closer to completing the trapped camp.
From this point of view, although the two days were a bit time-consuming, they were well worth it.
In the next few days, the ceremony of combining mother-in-law and marriage was officially included in the national rites, and Cao and Yang's second house also began to prepare for the wedding.
On this day, Cao Bin was "taking some time off from his busy schedule", leaning on the railing to listen to music, when his disciples suddenly came to report: Zhao Ji, a common man, brought his daughter to see him...
