Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 297 Why don’t you marry me?

Hu Yanjin looked at Zhao Mu's expression that wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh out loud. She said angrily: "Father, you are here again! The child has said before that the child's sweetheart must be chosen by himself. Besides, the emperor has an edict that you will not be allowed to interfere in the child's marriage anymore. You don't want to resist the edict. Resist. The decree calls for decapitation." After saying that, Hu Yanjin made a killing gesture with his hand on his delicate neck, then rolled his eyes, stuck out his tongue, and made a face.

King Zhongxiao smiled and said: "Haha, as a father, naturally I don't dare to resist the decree, but my father is also thinking about your marriage."

Hu Yanjin complained at this time: "Then you used to prevent me from being with the King of Zhongshan? If you didn't want so many betrothal gifts, why would the King of Zhongshan marry someone else? Now the one who becomes the Princess of Zhongshan is probably the child. The child can't get married even if he can't get married. I blame you!"

Hearing Hu Yanjin's words, Zhao Mu on the side was a little speechless. Zhao Mu thought to himself: "Don't be ridiculous. Without Mu Wanqing, the princess would have to be A'Zhu."

Hearing his daughter's complaints, King Zhongxiao was a little at a loss. The dignified princes of the town were as helpless as a child.

Hu Yanjin folded her arms, tilted her head, and stepped on her feet, like an angry little girl. King Zhongxiao kept walking around his daughter trying to comfort her.

Zhao Mu was a little afraid to recognize King Zhongxiao. He met King Zhongxiao quite often. Every time he met the old prince, he always showed the majesty of a prince and general. But I didn't expect him to be like this in front of his daughter.

King Zhongxiao knocked on Hu Yanjin's shoulder and said with a hint of flattery: "You can't blame your father, can you? Who made that boy behave like a playboy in the capital. I'm afraid that my Jin'er didn't marry a good man, and it would be delayed. Who would have known that your father and I were mistaken this time. He actually regarded gold and jade as cotton wool. But there is nothing we can do about it at this point. There are many good men in the world. Didn’t I like old brother Dongping when I was a child? Such a hero? Gang Leader Qiao has a reputation as a chivalrous man. If my son likes it, and Gang Leader Qiao is also willing, then my father will personally go to the emperor to ask for his help."

Hu Yanjin said: "Oh! I know my child's marriage well. Father, please don't mess with the rules anymore. Father, you seem to have something important to do. It's better to deal with official matters quickly. The child has grown up now. That's it." After saying that, Hu Yanjin quickly pushed her father away.

Hu Yanjin smiled bitterly and said: "How else can we spend it? I asked them to go to Dongping Palace to propose marriage, but they said it was inappropriate during the mourning period. Well, it was indeed inappropriate. After the mourning period, my father still disliked you for being a Dandy, he still didn’t agree with me marrying you. So he started to introduce me to other noble sons."

King Zhongxiao was helpless. He then got on his horse and sighed at his daughter. Then he regained his former majesty and rode away with his entourage.

Hu Yanjin said: "Well, you really don't condone me. I've basically seen all the children of powerful people in Beijing. When I got bored, I told my father, 'My daughter wants to marry a hero like her father.' So my father asked me Don’t force me anymore.”

Zhao Mu said: "But even if the prince favors you again, he will not allow you to reach such an old age."

Zhao Mu looked at King Zhongxiao's leaving figure, folded his arms and said, "I didn't expect that the majestic Iron Whip King to have such a kind side. But the prince does seem to care about your marriage."

Zhao Mu looked at Hu Yanjin and said: "By the way, the official girls in the capital, even the clan girls, basically get engaged at the age of fifteen or sixteen and get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen. Before, Princess Huyan, you, because of my father, That’s why you didn’t propose marriage to Prince Dongping before the mourning period passed. But after the mourning period, and before you negotiated with me as a matchmaker, how did you survive the old prince’s urge to marry you?”

Hu Yanjin also sighed and said: "Hey! Of course I know my father's painstaking efforts. He wants me to be happy after marriage. But sometimes my father's troubles are indeed a bit embarrassing."

Zhao Mu asked: "If that's the case, then why did the prince force you again?"

Hu Yanjin sighed and replied: "It was indeed no problem before. But later when I used this excuse to prevaricate my father, my father simply barked like a dog."

"Ah? Why is this?" Zhao Mu asked strangely. Hu Yanjin tapped her head lightly with a fan, then spread her hands and said, "Don't you understand? My father means 'just treat me like a dog'. He is a man who is better than me." Strong. So he quickly found someone to marry. It was also because I was getting older that he agreed with his sister-in-law and asked Princess Shoukang to be a matchmaker and betrothed me to you. "

"Maybe he was so angry that he asked you for such a large betrothal gift. After all, he was interested in Yang Huaixin instead of you at that time. He wanted to take this opportunity to make you give up and then forcibly marry me to Yang Huaixin. Now that he sees Hero Qiao's majestic appearance and extraordinary weapons, this bad habit of messing up the mandarin duck spectrum is back again."

Zhao Mu patted Hu Yanjin on the shoulder and said, "In this case, it will be difficult for my sister Hu Yan."

Hu Yanjin just sighed helplessly.

Zhao Mu looked at her and said, "Since my sister is so troubled, why don't you marry me too."

"Stop joking. I" Hu Yanjin reacted at this time. She picked up Zhao Mu's collar and said, "What did you say?!"

Their actions instantly attracted the attention of many people. Zhao Mu looked around and said: "Hey! We have attracted people to watch. If you have anything to say, please put me down first."

Hu Yanjin looked at the strange looks from the people around him, and then put Zhao Mu down. Although Zhao Mu shrank his bones and became smaller, his weight did not change.

Hu Yanjin could lift herself up so easily, and Zhao Mu felt that her skills had improved a lot during this time.

Hu Yanjin then covered her cheeks with a fan, then took Zhao Mu's hand and walked away.

The two of them returned all the way to the palace of Zhongshan Prince. When no one was around, Hu Yanjin asked coyly: "Is what you said true?"

Zhao Mu raised his head and looked at Hu Yanjin and said, "Do you think I'm joking?"

Hu Yanjin looked at the face of the little girl that Zhao Mu had transformed into, and Hu Yanjin said, "If you say this with this face, I always feel like you are teasing me."

Zhao Mu waved his hand and said, "Okay! I was joking, Princess Huyan has worked hard today." After saying that, Zhao Mu walked towards the Zhongshan Palace.

Hu Yanjin pulled him and said, "Hey! Don't worry. Is it okay if I was wrong?" Then Hu Yanjin bowed down, pressed Zhao Mu's shoulder, and said seriously, "Okay! Let's not make trouble now. Now, tell me what you said before!"

Zhao Mu regained his voice at this time, and he said seriously: "Since Sister Huyan is so troubled, why don't you marry me too. I can't give you the title of head wife now. But how many officials does a prince have?" As a concubine who was born as a young lady, I think this shouldn’t be a strange thing. Nor is it a shameful thing.”

Hu Yanjin said excitedly: "It's not a strange thing! It's not a shameful thing!"
