Chapter 624 The Extraordinary Marriage ([-])
Two days later.

After finishing school in the study, a palace servant waited outside the study with a smile on his face, and bowed to Yuan Rui: "The empress and concubine of the crown prince summoned the young master to talk, and asked the young master to accompany the slaves to have an audience with him."

Yuan Rui is the prince's concubine's own nephew, and it's not uncommon for the prince's concubine to favor him one or two.

All the teenagers went to have lunch by themselves, while Yuan Rui followed the palace people to the Crown Princess' place.

After Yuan Rui entered the inner hall, he quickly raised his eyes to take a look, but he was a little disappointed that he didn't see the quiet, delicate and beautiful figure in the corner.

Even though he was in the Eastern Palace, it was not easy for him to meet the girl he liked.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has two sons and two daughters. Needless to say, Zhu Dong, Zhu Tang and Zhu Liang are all descended from the direct line, and they are also very favored.Zhu Rong, the only concubine, seldom shows up in front of people on weekdays.Occasionally appearing in front of people, most of them just hang their heads and sit quietly in a corner.

The human heart is truly the strangest and most elusive thing.

Sometimes, Yuan Rui also wanted to ask himself.Why doesn't he like his generous cousin Zhu Tang?Just like that little girl with embarrassing background, introverted temperament and weak temperament?

Perhaps it was the pity born of an occasional glance.

Perhaps it was because they were attracted by those quiet black eyes when they looked at each other by chance.

Or maybe it's fate in the dark.

When he realized his intentions, he was already deeply rooted in love, unable to extricate himself.

But he is also clear about the expectations of Yuan's elders.They hoped that he could marry Zhu Tang and become the son-in-law of Daqi in the future, maintain the marriage between the Yuan family and the royal family, and continue the wealth and power of the Yuan family...

This heavy burden was on his still thin shoulders, so heavy that he couldn't bear it.

Many chaotic thoughts flashed in my heart.

Yuan Rui pressed all his concerns to the bottom of his heart, stepped forward, and bowed his hands in salute: "Yuan Rui has met the princess and concubine."

The graceful and luxurious princess concubine said with a smile: "Excuse me, there are no outsiders today, I just called you over. You can just call me aunt."

His aunt had always been wonderful to him.

While Yuan Rui was grateful, he felt unspeakable guilt.

His aunt was so kind to him, but he secretly liked the concubine who was not born of his aunt.This kind of affection not only failed the expectations of his elders, but also made him ashamed of his aunt.

Yuan Min had a panoramic view of the subtle changes in Yuan Rui's expression, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.Casually ordered the left and right, and when the sumptuous meal was delivered, the aunt and nephew had lunch together.

Yuan Rui was very careful and took the initiative to prepare vegetables for his aunt.The bowl is full of Yuan Min's favorite food.

Even the two brothers and sisters Zhu Dong and Zhu Tang are not as clear and familiar with her preferences as Yuan Rui.

Yuan Min was a little moved, and couldn't help but soften his heart: "Don't always worry about me, you should eat more."

Yuan Rui responded with a smile.However, he was full of thoughts and really didn't have much appetite.After barely eating some, I couldn't eat any more.Yuan Min didn't say much, and got up after lunch: "Brother Rui, accompany Auntie to the garden."

Yuan Rui responded and followed Yuan Min to the garden.

He already had a premonition of something, and his heart went up and down, uneasy.

Sure enough, Yuan Min suddenly stopped, turned around and looked over: "Brother Rui, you are already sixteen this year, and it's time to start a family. Do you have a girl you like?"

Yuan Rui's heart skipped a beat, he instinctively avoided Yuan Min's gaze, and replied in a low voice, "My aunt decides everything."

Yuan Min took a deep look at him, and said inexplicably, "I'm only asking you this time. If you have something on your mind, it's okay to say it. If you don't dare to say anything, you won't marry the girl you like in the future, so don't worry about it." regret."

Yuan Rui: "..."

Yuan Rui's heart was confused, but his mind was blank.

He raised his head blankly and looked at his aunt.

The aunt just looked at him quietly.

At this moment, he was blessed to the heart, suddenly understood something, and suddenly knelt down.

This is the chance his aunt gave him.It is also his only chance to marry his sweetheart.He must not miss it!Thousands of words poured into his throat, but he couldn't squeeze a single word out.

Yuan Rui kowtowed three times vigorously, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were already wet, and his expression was unprecedentedly firm: "Auntie, Cousin Tang and I are as close as brothers and sisters, and there is no relationship between men and women. My favorite is Cousin Rong. Please Aunt is perfect!"

Sure enough, it was Zhu Rong.

When Yuan Min heard this name, he didn't know what it was like for a moment.

Zhu Tang clearly noticed it a long time ago!With Zhu Tang's pride, knowing Yuan Rui's heart belongs to him, he will never marry Yuan Rui again.The same goes for Yuan Rui, it's not good to like anyone, but Zhu Rong is the one he likes...

Having said that, what's wrong with Zhu Rong?

The grievances and entanglements between adults have nothing to do with children.

Regardless of other things, just talking about temperament, Zhu Rong is quiet and introverted, cautious, as quiet as a lotus when sitting, and rarely speaks in front of others, even when he smiles, he is also delicate and elegant.

For such a quiet girl, as a aunt, she couldn't help feeling pity for her.

It is really normal for a hot-blooded young man to be attracted by such a girl.

Yuan Min said softly: "Brother Rui, why didn't you tell your aunt earlier?"

Intense guilt floated in Yuan Rui's eyes: "Aunt, my nephew can't speak."

"Stupid child," Yuan Min sighed, "Marrying a wife and getting married is a lifetime event. Marrying a girl you like is a lifetime blessing. Otherwise, you will be a lifetime of resentment."

"My aunt understands your difficulties. Don't worry! My aunt will decide for you in this matter."

Tears welled up in Yuan Rui's eyes, and he kowtowed three times, choked up, "Thank you, aunt."

Yuan Min said in a low voice: "However, I have to ask Sister Rong about this matter. She can only do it if she is willing."

Yuan Rui was speechless, only weeping and nodding.

Yuan Min looked distressed and funny, took out a handkerchief and stuffed it to his nephew: "Hurry up and wipe your tears. We are grown-ups, and weeping like this is not afraid of being laughed at."

……

Yuan Rui wiped away his tears and went back to his room full of joy.

Seeing his red eyes, Meng Ling and the others made fun of him once.

Yuan Rui was full of secret joy, but he didn't take it to heart.However, when he thought of Zhu Rong, he felt uneasy.He liked her, and did she have the same affection for him?
What if she doesn't want to marry him?
Also, even if the aunt is willing to make decisions for him.How can he not be angry with his grandparents who are full of expectations?
Yuan Rui endured for a few days, until the day of Xiumu, he didn't have the courage to go back to Yuan's residence.He cheekily said to His Royal Highness, "I won't go back this time for a rest. I want to study hard and try to get the first place in the month-end assessment."

Zhu Dong smiled and glanced at Yuan Rui: "It's just as simple as taking the first place? Isn't it just to secretly find a chance to meet the fourth sister?"

Yuan Rui: "..."
