"Why are you talking nonsense?" The general raised his voice unconsciously. After speaking, everyone around him looked over and realized that his voice was too loud, so he lowered his voice and repeated it. "Why are you talking nonsense? You are not married and the princess is not married. You can definitely ask to marry the princess."

Guan Chen glanced at Princess Wushuang, quickly lowered his eyelids, and whispered, "I don't have such thoughts."

Although he is now the commander of the Imperial Guard, he only started from a small Imperial Guard Hundred Households.

As the royal guards, they don't have to patrol the inner palace. When they encounter palace banquets, they can be more vigilant and can see the ladies in the palace. The number of times they see the ladies is still more than that of ordinary officials.

Seven years ago, he was just a small Qianhu. While patrolling during the New Year's Eve palace banquet, he picked up the handkerchief accidentally dropped by Princess Wushuang, who was the concubine at the time.

When she found it, he returned the veil to her, and she smiled and said to him, "Thank you."

Seeing that his hands were red and swollen from the cold, he gave him a hand warmer and said, "Even if you can't warm your hands, you can keep it warm by holding it in your arms."

Back then Princess Wushuang would give him the stove just because she was kind-hearted, but because of her smile and the act of giving the stove, he had feelings for her that he shouldn't have.

Over the years, wherever he could see her, his eyes would follow her involuntarily.

Every time his engagement was annulled, he didn't feel too uncomfortable. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief.

But at the moment, it is absolutely impossible for him to ask to marry Princess Wushuang.

Because of their previous identities, they had the opportunity to come into contact. If he asked to marry the princess now, it would inevitably make people suspicious that he had long coveted the women in the emperor's harem, or that the two of them had already hooked up. .

He doesn't want the person he likes to be maliciously speculated or criticized.

Therefore, even if he has intentions at the moment, he still has to pretend that he has no intentions.

"If you don't have this idea, why do you still look down on the princess?" the general asked with a frown, and then said earnestly, "I say Commander Chen, please stop picking. You are already thirty-three now. Would that young and beautiful fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who is the right match for you want to marry you?"

"You can be someone's father. Who would be willing to marry their precious daughter to an old man like you?"

Guan Chen: "..." The corners of his eyes twitched crazily.

Old man, he's not that old, okay?
"The daughter of a concubine from the right family can marry you, but marrying a legitimate wife from a concubine is not worthy of your status as a commander-in-chief."

"If you ask me, this princess is just right. She is of noble birth and her age is suitable for you." The more he talked, the more he felt that it would be quite suitable for Commander Chen to marry one of these three princesses.

"Didn't you just say that it was a blessing to marry the princess? Why can't you do it when it's your turn? Really, don't choose anymore, it's almost done."

Guan Chen: "..."

Can he say that he did not choose the princess?

He likes Princess Wushuang very much. If he can marry her as his wife, it will be the greatest blessing in his life.

But it's not possible now, he has to wait a little longer. When he asks to marry the princess, no one will think twice.

Bai Liuli lifted up her skirt slightly and crossed the threshold. After standing still, she looked for Lu Wushuang and Qu Wanhua in the hall.

Soon, she saw them, her plump and moist pink lips raised into a smile, she folded her hands and placed them in front of her lower abdomen, and walked towards the two of them.

As soon as she entered the palace, many people noticed her.

"Hey, whose sister is that? She's so beautiful, why haven't I seen her before?"

"She looks familiar, but I don't know whose sister she is."

"The color of her lips is so beautiful. I don't know what she applied on them, but they look so moist." It makes people want to take a bite.

"Yes, her eyes are so big. From such a distance, I can see her thick and thick eyelashes. They are so beautiful." "Yeah, her whole person has an indescribable smell. I, a woman, looked at it. I can’t bear to look away.”

Of course, it wasn't just women who were attracted to Bai Liuli, there were also many men.

"Brother Wu, do you know whose daughter she is?" the son of the Minister of War asked Wu Yan, who was sitting next to him, pointing at the woman who was walking forward with her back straight, dignified and not looking away.

Wu Yan was thinking about the second couplet of the first couplet that Hanlin Academy University had just mentioned. As soon as he had some idea, he was interrupted by the son of the Minister of War, whom he knew well.

He raised his head and looked in the direction of the other person's finger. His eyes suddenly froze, he held his breath involuntarily, and his heart skipped a beat.

What a beautiful girl!
Like hibiscus in clear water, yet as beautiful as peaches and plums.

Like the bright moon, but also like flowers in the water.

He swallowed dryly and looked down at his heart. Could this be what his heart felt like?

In his 20s, this was the first time he experienced this feeling.

"Brother Wu..." Seeing that he was silent, the son of the Minister of War called him again.

Wu Yan came to his senses, shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"Brother Wu, you don't even know. Is she the legitimate daughter of someone who raised her in her hometown and then returned to Kyoto?" The son of the Minister of War frowned and guessed.

As long as they can come to the palace banquet, there should be no one they don't know.

"She's really pretty. Brother Wu, what do you think I should go to her house to propose marriage?"

Wu Yan was startled, then frowned and said, "Not so good? Hasn't your mother already chosen your uncle's cousin for you? Do you still want to regret the marriage?"

"You don't care about regretting the marriage, right? We haven't decided to write the marriage document yet!" We haven't written the marriage document yet, so can it be called regretting the marriage?
Wu Yan: "Why doesn't it count? A verbal agreement counts as an engagement."

The son of the Minister of War slumped his shoulders, "It's so annoying. If I had known, when I asked how my cousin was doing, I would have said I didn't like her."

Bai Liuli's sister-in-law, Mrs. Yan, sat at the same table with her husband Bai Baocheng, sitting behind her parents-in-law, listening to her mother-in-law complaining to her father-in-law about her sister-in-law in a low voice.

"...She also said that she would marry someone else, and if we felt embarrassed, we would sever ties with her. She really said it."

"This rebellious girl, I will go find her after the palace banquet is over."

Hearing these words, Mrs. Yan sighed in her heart. As a woman, she sympathized with her sister-in-law very much and did not want to be a lobbyist. However, her parents-in-law had no choice but to go with her husband.

Fortunately, my sister-in-law didn't let them in, and she didn't say those words against her will.

She felt that the emperor agreed and even prepared a dowry for her sister-in-law to remarry. If others dared to make irresponsible remarks, they could use the emperor to suppress them.

There is no need to let your sister-in-law live like a sister-in-law in a temple for the rest of her life just because of what others think or say.

She had no one to rely on, no one who loved her, no one who knew both coldness and warmth, and no one who had a son and a half daughters to be filial to her.

But as a daughter-in-law, she could not say these words.

At this time, in addition to the voices of her parents-in-law, she heard someone say: "Whose girl is this? She is so beautiful."

She wanted to see who she was talking about, so she raised her head and looked for it with her eyes, and soon her eyes were fixed on him. (End of chapter)
