Under Zhou Jinyan's sincere gaze, Jian Yu lowered her gaze and her eyelashes trembled slightly, her cheeks flushed slightly. Such a shy look made a certain prince's heart beat wildly.
Zhou Jinyan, who has always had a very good look in her eyes, knew for sure that she would not reject her words!
He began to imagine the image of Jian Yujiao leaning on his arms and acting coquettishly.
Can they be husband and wife?
However, Jian Yu was so easy for him to see through. There was no scene as Zhou Jinyan expected, and Jian Yu's shyness only appeared for a moment. She sat up straight and said slowly: "Let's make a three-part agreement."
"First of all, you can't take concubines to raise children in the future. If you have a woman, that's fine, but if you let me out of the house, we will live separately and never see each other again."
The emperor's gift of marriage is not a child's play. There is no legitimate reason for the two of them, because it is definitely not possible to divorce because of the incident in the back house. Even if there is a reason, there is no precedent for granting marriage and divorce.
So what Jian Yu asked for was separation, out of sight, out of mind, just like getting divorced without leaving home. She was leaving home without getting divorced.
"Second, I have my own things to do. You can't confine me to the backyard. I can manage the back house, but I will never be trapped in the back house."
Although Zhou Jinyan has become her backer, Jian Yu will still follow her own plan. She has the idea of taking a shortcut to rely on Prince Jing, but she will continue to control the real situation that can truly fall into her hands.
If one day the man changes his mind, she can stand upright.
"Third, we are husband and wife and have an equal relationship. We must respect each other."
These three principles are the principles that Jian Yu will not retreat from. As for other aspects, the two of them can discuss it. What she is saying now must not be compromised.
Jian Yu also kept an eye on it, where is the degree of mutual respect? How is the relationship of equality manifested? These are all "loopholes" that she can exploit. She is addicted to Zhou Jinyan's beauty, but she also remains sober.
After thinking about it for a while, Jian Yu added, "One more thing. There is something I haven't told you yet. When I tell you, don't be angry with me or be impulsive. Promise me not to leave the house that day."
Although the last request was a bit puzzling, Zhou Jinyan still felt that there was nothing he couldn't agree to. From what Jian Yu said, it seemed that he was afraid that he would find someone to settle the score with?
It's okay. I can't leave the house that day, and the same goes for the next day. Thinking about it this way, there's no problem.
The first three requirements may be difficult for other men, but Zhou Jinyan thinks they are too simple!
He himself has no intention of finding another woman, otherwise the backyard would have been full over the years, and the second article said that being trapped in the back house would be even more impossible. He likes everything about Jian Yu, including the lively, free and spontaneous woman she is now.
As for the third article, Zhou Jinyan even thought that this was protecting his rights! When it comes to an equal relationship, to be honest, from the moment he fell in love with Jian Yu, Zhou Jinyan has already placed himself in a lower position than her.
The inferiority here is not in terms of class, but in all aspects!
Are there any steps he can't make? Zhou Jinyan never talks about personal affairs when doing business. When he was in Bianbei, no matter whether he was the young prince or his capable subordinate, they would never affect his decision-making on official matters.
Never show favoritism.
But when facing Jian Yu, Zhou Jinyan almost moved the back door to the front door to let her go. Take the nearest Qingzhou City as an example. Jian Yu was present during the interrogation. When the plan was carried out, Jian Yu took priority...
These are things he wouldn't do before.
As soon as Jian Yu spoke, he seemed to have lost the right to refuse these two words. Zhou Jinyan knew that this was not good, but he couldn't refuse. What could he do?
"Okay, I promise you everything." Zhou Jinyan looked solemn.
Jian Yu didn't expect that the other party didn't hesitate at all. She was about to say whether you should carefully consider the conditions I mentioned. Each of these are requirements dancing on your head!
Before she could say this, she heard Zhou Jinyan happily say: "Princess, no, Yu'er, can we be real husband and wife?"
Jian Yu:......
Seeing how excited Zhou Jinyan was, Jian Yu raised her hand and touched his face and said, "Yes, a real couple will have a wedding night, right?"
Zhou Jinyan nodded quickly, agreeing so much that he couldn't agree more, Yu'er understands him!
After sleeping on the same bed as Jian Yu, it was difficult for anyone to bear it with her sweetheart beside her. Zhou Jinyan had to use up all his self-control in his life.
If he endures it for a while longer, he will have a problem!
Many nights, he wanted to leave regardless, but in the end he stopped.
He was afraid that Jian Yu was capable of destroying her.
It didn't matter how he was dealt with, he was afraid that Jian Yu would hurt herself.
Now that Jian Yu was relieved, Zhou Jinyan admitted that all he could think about was this kind of thing.
Jian Yu mentioned it like this, which was exactly what he wanted!
Life is always ups and downs. One second he was excited that his dream was about to come true, and the next second Zhou Jinyan couldn't laugh anymore.
"Are you going to the wedding hall? Just the bridal chamber?"
Jian Yu snorted coldly and stopped talking to Zhou Jinyan. The memory of the funeral was still fresh in her mind!
This bitch was in the house at that time! Seeing everyone praying and chanting sutras for him, seeing her practicing vegetarianism and observing filial piety, she might still be snickering secretly.
Thinking of this, Jian Yu thought to herself, she didn't want him to succeed so quickly!

Regarding the relationship between the third prince and the golden slave, Zhou Jinyan discovered clues through his investigation.
The third prince and the crown queen moved from the palace to their own prince's residence. Life outside the palace was not very good. The prince's salary provided for the food, drink and clothing in the palace, which was far less comfortable than he was in the palace.
Even though he was the only serious master in the house, he still couldn't make ends meet, so Concubine Liu often gave her some money.
In this regard, the third prince is obviously not as good as the other two princes and is in a tight situation.
But a few months later, the third prince suddenly became more generous.
Although Concubine Liu took care of her son, she did not dote on her son in order to pretend to be harmless and caring in front of the emperor.
Excessive subsidies will make the emperor feel that the third prince is ignorant and a loving mother with many failed children, so what she can give is limited.
Without Concubine Liu from her mother's family, naturally no one would sincerely help the third prince. The third prince was careful to guard against those who were seeking profit, and had no financial dealings.
As the investigation deepened, it was basically confirmed that the source of the third prince's money was unknown. After the crown, the third prince, who was assigned to the Ministry of Etiquette, often invited him to dinner and had good friendship with the ministers.
Then Zhou Jinyan discovered the problem, and he found the source of Jin Nu's detailed work.
Why can so many Jin slaves be so unknowingly and deeply embedded in Shengjing? Because there is an internal response!
While the third prince was on duty at the Ministry of Etiquette, two golden slaves planned to sneak into the academy!
The Ministry of Rites can operate this matter.
When the third prince took his turn at the Ministry of War, another gold slave was used as a shop for soldiers to purchase goods!
…
From this point of view, every detail placed in Shengjing can be linked to the third prince at that time!
How should I tell my brother the emperor? Zhou Jinyan was in trouble.
"Why are you dazed?"
In the royal study, the emperor on the dragon throne was increasingly rosy. He looked the same as before. He was in great spirits and no longer looked like a patient.
Seeing Zhou Jinyan come to his senses, the emperor continued to tease: "I heard that you recently ordered the palace to prepare a lot of things needed for the wedding. Why, do you want to have a concubine?"
Zhou Jinyan was agitated when he heard the words "na concubine", he didn't dare!
