Not only Gao Wuyong was puzzled by the princess's abnormal behavior today. The emperor and the prince of Guilin were also a little confused about the princess's performance today. But before everyone present could wake up from the shock, what the princess said next made everyone present even more shocked and even a little at a loss.
"Your Majesty, I have a small request, and I ask for Your Majesty's permission. My Majesty, I have something to ask His Royal Highness. However, these words of yours involve personal relationships between children, and it is not appropriate to talk to him in front of the Emperor. I am afraid that my father’s interview will be insulting to the Holy Father. I also ask for your permission from the Emperor for my daughter to have a private conversation with His Royal Highness."
The princess's words, which could be called bold in this era, made everyone present stunned. For a moment, the hall was so quiet that you could probably hear a pin drop to the ground. You know, in this era of parents ordering matchmakers, a woman is meeting for the first time with a man who has not even finalized the relationship.
Then he suggested that the two of them should have a private chat. This was absolutely shocking. You know, although this dynasty is not like the era when Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism was popular more than a few hundred years later, it is important to pay attention to the sister-in-law who drowns the uncle before helping her, whether it is a small matter of starving to death, or a serious matter of losing integrity. But there are also certain strict requirements for the relationship between men and women. Unmarried men and women must not step beyond the bounds before getting married.
Even Prince Yong's so-called bold fiancée, the worst thing she did was send her confidant maids and wives to inspect Prince Yong's Mansion. She would not go to Prince Yong's Mansion easily. Not to mention meeting King Yong alone without anyone else present. Even so, it has aroused a lot of criticism and criticism in the capital, and is regarded by many people as unruly women.
This is because King Yong's father-in-law is a military commander and doesn't care about the opinions of those nerds. Etiquette is always more important to their family than family rules. If it were those ladies who came from civil service backgrounds, I'm afraid they wouldn't be allowed to do that even if they were beaten to death. Now, this princess, meeting the King of England for the first time, invited Huang Qiong to talk alone, which is absolutely shocking.
The Prince of Guilin, who was originally thinking about how to reject this son-in-law whom he had difficulty controlling, almost dropped his jaw in shock at his daughter's words. Looking at his daughter's beautiful face, he couldn't believe it. This was his arrogant nature. If he didn't like his daughter, let alone a princess, even a queen would look down on her daughter?
However, he remembered some of the promises the emperor had made during a private conversation with himself. Although the expression of the Prince of Guilin did not change at all, the look he looked at his daughter turned slightly cold. As for the prince next to him, the city is relatively shallow. After hearing what the princess said, her face became extremely ugly.
As for the emperor, he didn't say anything. After a brief period of astonishment, he readily agreed to the princess' request. After taking a look at Huang Qiong, who was still expressionless, the emperor smiled slightly and said: "The plum blossoms in the Imperial Garden are blooming well now, and Ajiu happened to accompany the princess to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers. If you are not here, I and the princess will also You can talk about yourself for a while.”
After hearing the emperor's order, Huang Qiong didn't care. Under the guidance of Gao Wuyong, he and Situ Huanshuang came to the Royal Garden. But after entering the imperial garden, Huang Qiong's face gradually became colder and colder when he looked at the eunuch who had deliberately left a certain space for him to speak. He said to Situ Huanshuang: "I don't know now, what should I call you?" As the princess, I should still call you Shuang'er."
At this time, Situ Huanshuang, facing Huang Qiong's cold tone, changed from his previous indifference in the hall. Although he had been pretending to be calm, his tone was somewhat urgent: "There are some things that I can't explain to you now. You just need to know that I have never lied to you. At least to you, I am just Situ." Huanshuang is never someone else."
I originally thought that Situ Huanshuang braved everyone's shocked eyes and called him out alone because he wanted to explain to him. But what he didn't expect was Huang Qiong who gave a somewhat perfunctory answer. His tone couldn't help but become even colder: "Why, Your Excellency the Princess is now unwilling to give me even a mere explanation?"
"I don't even know now how many identities you have and which one is the real one. Oh, by the way, the identity of this princess must be your real identity. As for the other identities, they are just your casual Made up to fool me. Shuang'er, I don't dare to use such a casual title now to address a princess who has a wealth of wealth behind her."
When Huang Qiong said these words, his eyes looked at him no longer as gentle as before, and became colder and colder. Situ Huanshuang's tone became more urgent: "I didn't lie to you, it's just that the matter will not be explained clearly for a while, and I have no way to explain it to you. I have never told you the truth because I really have no choice but to do it."
"I really never thought of deceiving you. It's just that there are some things that I can't explain clearly to you now. Have you really forgotten what you said to me in the King of Shu's Courtyard a few days ago? Have you? You said at that time that even if no one in the world believed in me, you would always stand by my side. Could it be that you were also deceiving me that day? "
Speaking of this, I thought of Huang Qiong's promise to him that day in King Shu's Courtyard, as well as his past tenderness. Looking at Huang Qiong's cold eyes today, Situ Huanshuang couldn't help but shed tears: "I just ask you, don't blame me, hate me, or ignore me, because I have never deceived you, I never wanted to hurt you."
Facing Situ Huanshuang, who was heartbroken because of his coldness, he remembered what she said when they met unexpectedly that day in the King of Shu's Courtyard. Huang Qiong's seemingly cold heart softened for no reason. He knew that he might never be able to harden his heart towards the woman he had always been obsessed with, even if he knew she had deceived him.
Involuntarily walking to Situ Huanshuang, Huang Qiong held her in his arms and gently kissed the tears on her face: "Shuang'er, I'm not really angry with you, I just hope you can tell the truth to me. That's all. It's impossible for me not to even know the true identity of the woman I love. What I hope more is that you can truly regard me as your man in your heart, and don't hide anything from me. "
Facing Huang Qiong, who finally softened, Situ Huanshuang shook his head firmly, and said with a somewhat miserable look: "There are some things that I haven't told you yet. Because I don't want you, and I have to suffer for you." Any harm. If you really regard me as your woman, don’t force me. When it’s time to tell you, I will naturally tell you."
Looking at Situ Huanshuang who looked miserable but still stubborn when he said these words to himself, Huang Qiong sighed feebly, but said angrily: "Shuang'er, I believe your deception was not intentional. Yes, you sincerely do it for my own good. But again, I hope that you can treat me as your man, so that I can share your burdens with you."
"Give your heart to me completely, okay? Even if there are huge difficulties, let me accompany you to face them, okay? Don't put all the pressure on yourself, even if You are reluctant, but from now on I am also your fiancé. There are some things that, as your fiancé, I should know and have the right to know."
But no matter what Huang Qiong asked, Situ Huanshuang, who was held in his arms, remained silent. He just quietly leaned his head in Huang Qiong's arms, seemingly craving for the last trace of warmth. Faced with the stubbornness of the beauty in his arms, Huang Qiong also had a headache. It was obvious that Situ Huanshuang had been hiding something from him. Huang Qiong had already known this when they parted at the Prince's Mansion.
Moreover, Huang Qiong also guessed that Situ Huanshuang had been hiding something from him, and it was definitely not a trivial matter. But Huang Qiong didn't know why she was still unwilling to mention it to him. Even though she had made it clear that she wanted to share the burden for her, she still stubbornly remained silent. What did this stubborn woman think of herself?
Thinking of this, Huang Qiong was somewhat angry and wanted to push the woman in his arms away. But after hesitating for a long time, I finally couldn't do it. For him, Situ Huanshuang's tears were too lethal. Even though I had made a decision a thousand times in my heart after seeing her this time, I still couldn't harden my heart when the time came.
Holding the beauty in his arms tightly, Huang Qiong sighed slightly: "Shuang'er, what should I do with you? I know that you are a fire, but I still act like a dog who is desperate for my own safety. Like a moth, even though I know it may be a glass of poisonous wine, I still can't bear to give up. Shuang'er, when can you truly give me your heart?"
Listening to Huang Qiong's quiet murmuring, Situ Huanshuang in his arms did not respond. He just raised his head and took the initiative to kiss Huang Qiong's mouth. It wasn't until both of them were out of breath that they both sighed: "Actually, I had already given my heart to you as early as that time at the Prince's Palace. But it was precisely because I gave my heart to you that I I can’t hurt you.”
"In this marriage with the Tian family, he originally hoped to betroth me to King Song. Because King Song has almost no ability except arrogance. Betrothal me to King Song not only poses no threat to him, but also can make King Song He has firm control in his hands. He can also use the power of Concubine De's natal family to increase his strength in the court."
"But for you, I would rather offend him than agree to marry the King of Song. Even if we are a couple in name only, I will not agree. Only you can touch my body, and I will only give it to you. Except for you , no one has this qualification. I would rather die than allow others to touch me. This is the only thing I can say now, don’t ask about the rest, okay?"
Huang Qiong was slightly startled by Situ Huanshuang's words. She actually called her father him, instead of what she should call her father. And there was no respect for his father at all in his words. How should I put it, when I mentioned him, there was even a hint of vagueness in the tone, an indescribable and unexplainable taste that was difficult to taste without tasting it carefully.
But Huang Qiong couldn't figure out what this smell was. But today, there was something in Situ Huanshuang's words. Although not much was revealed, Huang Qiong could taste a lot from it. It seems that the old man has many motives for this marriage. The Guilin County Prince agreed to this marriage, and his thoughts were probably not simple either.
Looking at the little face of the beauty in his arms, Huang Qiong hesitated for a moment, then gave up the idea of continuing to ask, and just kissed the beauty's little mouth again. Different from the previous time, Huang Qiong was deeply involved this time. Situ Huanshuang, on the other hand, also felt Huang Qiong's burning emotions, and completely threw himself into it, actively wrapping his arms around Huang Qiong's neck.
