Zheng Quchi didn't know if he was joking with her or if he was really planning to lure her into marriage, but either way, she would not agree.

Marriage can be a practical guarantee for the pursuit of happiness, but it cannot be a reflection of the realization of personal values.

Marrying well is equivalent to being reincarnated. She cannot understand this theory.

She believes that working hard to invest in yourself, working hard in your career, moving to a new and higher level, and building a "kingdom" step by step is the real rebirth and restarting a new life.

As long as you learn to learn, your skills will always be yours, and marriage is not unimportant, but it can be the "icing on the cake", but it cannot be the "life-saving straw".

Zheng Quchi smiled and said with a relaxed expression on his face: "On the way, Princess Sheng'an said something, and I still remember it very clearly."

She said that first there is the general, and then there is the general's wife. Without the general, she is nothing.

"Guess how I answered her?"

Yuan Xingzhou was silent for a moment. He was so smart and sensitive. He knew the elegance of Xiange when he heard it. He knew that she was looking for a reason to reject him in a roundabout way, but he didn't have to know what she would say to reject him.

However, he wanted to understand her and what she was thinking, so he followed suit and asked, "What happened?"

Seeing that he didn't stop there and wanted to continue listening, Zheng Quchi sighed and said: "I said, I am just me, Zheng Quchi. I will not lose my name just because I become the general's wife. Given the choice between being called the general’s wife and being called Zheng Quchi, I would rather be myself than Yu Wensheng’s subordinate.”

"You mean, you are only willing to get what you want by yourself?" Yuan Xingzhou said.

Zheng Quchi feels that a more accurate statement is: "Not entirely, but I will only pay the price I am willing to pay to get what I want."

"Are you so unwilling to marry me?"

Zheng Quchi didn't want to antagonize him, especially after she understood the benefits of forming an alliance with him today, so she changed her mind to persuade him: "Your Highness, what do you think an engagement is? A marriage arranged by parents or a combination of exchange of interests?"

Yuan Xingzhou's answer to this question was obvious. He mocked: "Of course it is driven by interests. Marrying in the Yuan family must comply with this principle, that is, the other person has enough value, such as my mother, Just like the queen, there are also all the concubines in the harem."

Originally, she wanted to educate him on the principle of "marrying for love", but after hearing what he said, she felt that she was forcing things on others?

You tell a person who has never eaten sugar that sugar is sweet, very sweet, why don't you try it?

But he doesn't want to eat sweets. He only asks, what's the use of sweets?

"So, you want to marry me, a daughter of a second marriage, because you like the interests behind me?"

He learned very quickly: "Didn't you just say that you are you and not anyone's subordinate? Then I will marry you just because you are Zheng Quchi."

Zheng Quchi didn't say whether she believed it or not. She raised her head and stopped.

Baibu Palace has arrived.

The newly promoted chief eunuch said: "Your Highness, Mrs. Yuwen, please take a rest. After the dinner is properly arranged, the servants will come and notify you to attend the banquet."

Zheng Quchi thought that with King Ye's current condition, he probably wouldn't be able to go to the banquet.

"Will the king be here too?" she asked knowingly.

The chief eunuch said with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty is ill and may not be able to attend tonight, but the Queen will host the night banquet on Your Majesty's behalf."

Successor queen?
Zheng Quchi inexplicably felt that the night banquet would definitely become a Hongmen banquet. She was about to refuse with an excuse when she heard Yuan Xingzhou ask: "Besides the queen, who else has been invited to this night banquet?"

"This..." The chief eunuch glanced at Yuan Xingzhou, remembering his identity and King Ye's attitude towards him, and finally replied: "There are also envoys from the five countries, Hongsheng Kingdom, Beiyuan Kingdom and Nanyuan Kingdom." People from the Chen Kingdom have arrived, and only the envoys from the Julu Kingdom and the far-away Xize Kingdom have not arrived yet." Beiyuan Kingdom... Thinking of the reply, Zheng Quchi immediately changed his mind: "When will it start?"

"You're on time."

"By the way, is there a date for the six-nation military drill in Chunsou?"

Hearing this, the chief eunuch immediately lowered his head in fear: "Minions must not pry into what is going on in front of the palace. This matter will be decided after the queen has discussed it with the envoys from various countries and the generals who are on the field for exercises."

When Zheng Quchi heard this, he felt that something was wrong.

Why would such a major national event be decided by the queen?Where is King Ye?
Although he was so fat that it was difficult to move, she saw that he was sane and sane. He had not yet become dim and unable to distinguish things, right?

Zheng Quchi inevitably filled up many stories in her mind. She felt that the content she was participating in now was like a TV series about love, hate, and palace struggle that could last for more than [-] episodes.

She looked at Yuan Xingzhou darkly.

Yuan Xingzhou asked again: "If my father is not here, is it appropriate for me to go there?"

The chief eunuch said hurriedly: "It's appropriate. Your Majesty will make all preparations for His Highness's return. Your Highness just goes and waits and sees what happens."

-

After the chief eunuch arranged everything, he bowed and left the Baibu Palace. After Yuan Xingzhou and Zheng Quchi entered, they sent away the palace people and they talked alone.

Zheng Quchi asked: "Do you know the queen?"

Logically speaking, he was taken out of the palace just after the death of the queen, so he should not be acquainted with her. However, he is the eldest prince, and maybe the entire aristocracy in Shengjing is a circle of acquaintances to him.

The step-queen that King Ye wants to marry will definitely not be the daughter of a random family, and there is no guarantee that he actually knows her.

Sure enough, Yuan Xingzhou said: "She is my aunt."

"..." It turned out that not only were they acquainted, but they were also related to each other.

I have to say, your circle is really chaotic.

"Then do you have any grudge against her?"

hatred?There was no emotion in Yuan Xingzhou's eyes: "She should want me to die more than anyone else."

Zheng Quchi knew that the queen had a sick child and that she also gave birth to Princess Sheng'an. For the benefit of her child, she definitely did not want Yuan Xingzhou to come back and take a share of the pie.

Her understanding is so simple and crude.

But just like that, she accidentally brought him back.

So...she indirectly brought a huge wave of hatred back?
She realized that now not only Yuan Xingzhou had become a thorn in the step-queen's side, but she might also have become a thorn in her flesh!

Her expression suddenly became sad and she asked, "Why don't you tell me what you want to do next?"

Seeing that her expression was really cute, Yuan Xingzhou asked, "Why don't you tell me what you want to do next?"

Zheng Quchi was too lazy to waste words with him, so she told him directly: "Let's make a three-part agreement. We can work together, but all your actions cannot endanger the foundation of the country of Ye, waste people and money, revenge can be allowed, but cannot involve innocent people, and Don't interfere with what I want to do."
