Chapter 755 Wishing to Win the Heart
Heavy rain continued in Youjing.

A small car covered with green cloth slowly drove into Youjing City.

Zhou Zhou opened the curtain of the car, and saw the towering city walls of Linshuo Palace.Zhou Zhou glanced back, seeing Pingping in the car with a look of uneasiness on her face.He smiled and reached out to pat Pingping's hand and said, "Believe me, since you and I have formed a marriage alliance, no one in heaven and earth can separate us."

Hearing what Zhou Zhou said, Ping Ping showed a happy expression on his face, but he still gently pulled Zhou Zhou's sleeve.Zhou Zhou smiled and said: "I know that the queen and the noble concubine are your relatives, and I will not be rude to them. In the worst case, I will resign from office, and I am happy to have nothing to do."

Covered by an umbrella, a court lady walked up to the car and said, "Master Zhou, the Empress is waiting for you at Cuiwei Palace, go quickly."

"Please lead the way." Zhou Zhou said, and immediately walked into Linshuo Palace.

Raindrops dripped from the eaves, and a sudden gust of wind drenched Zhou Zhou's clothes.Seeing this scene, Zhou Zhou remembered that when he was young, he went to school. At that time, the private school was two or three miles away from his home. At that time, it was raining heavily. Because his family was poor, there was only one broken umbrella at home.Zhou Zhou walked all the way with this broken umbrella, and when he arrived at the private school, the rain soaked his pen and ink.Zhou Zhou's whole body was dyed black and he was laughed at by his classmates.

I cried a lot at the time, and my teacher in the private school, who was also my first teacher, told me that it doesn't matter if others look up to me or look down on me, the most important thing is that I always have to look down on myself.

Zhou Zhou had always used this sentence as motivation, thinking of this to propose to the queen.Now Zhou Zhou straightened his back even more, and strode forward.

Not long after Zhou Zhou came to Cuiwei Palace, there was a curtain erected in the palace, and two people could be seen sitting behind the curtain.

Zhou Zhou immediately bowed to the two of them and said loudly: "Zhou Zhou sees the queen, noble concubine!"

"Flat body."

Zhou Zhou didn't get up, and went straight to the point: "Empress Empress, Zhou Zhou came to Shuo Palace today to ask for a marriage proposal, and begged Empress Empress to betroth the princess to this humble minister."

The queen said: "Zhou Zhou, the dignified princess of Zhao, you can marry as soon as you say you want to marry. Your Majesty has already arranged for this matter, but you deliberately injured the envoy sent by the palace to pick up the princess, and imprisoned the princess for more than ten years. Day, just for this one crime, I can kill you!"

Zhou Zhou said proudly: "Queen Qi, why is there a theory of confinement? The minister and Pingping are in love with each other. Pingping stayed here voluntarily. There is no such thing as coercion."

"What about injuring the envoy?" Shi Deyun asked beside him.

Zhou Zhou said: "This is a misunderstanding of my minister's lack of consideration."

"A misunderstanding?" the queen asked, "You are kidnapping the princess by doing this, why are you still planning to elope? As an official of the imperial court, it is also a serious crime to leave the place of trust!"

"However, I did not intend to hold the princess hostage, nor did I plan to elope. Instead, I brought the princess back to Youjing from Liaodong thousands of miles away, just to ask the queen for permission. I am submitting my resignation letter, and I am willing to resign from the governor of Liaodong County. As for the affairs of the county, I will also hand it over to Sima, the chief history."

"You are really eloquent, so do you think that I will agree to your marriage when you bring Pingping to Youjing?" The Queen asked Zhou Zhou in a slightly cold voice.

Zhou Zhoudao: "I don't have this confidence, but I just ask the queen to give me a chance. Pingping has been lonely since childhood. Although he has the favor of His Majesty, Queen, and Concubine, in fact, there are not many days when he is really happy. Weichen and Pingping The two are in love with each other, and it has long been a private decision for life. Zhou Zhou promised to the queen that he will have an equal heart in this life, and from now on, he will never be burdened by each other."

Zhou Zhou could see behind the curtain, the empress and concubine looked at each other.

Yang Ehuang said: "I would like to win everyone's hearts, but I ask you if I don't allow Pingping to marry you, what should you do?"

Zhou Zhoudao: "I have no power to change anything, I hope that I will show the queen that I will never lose my heart in this life."

Before Yang Ehuang could speak, Shi Deyun hurriedly asked, "Zhou Zhou, are you serious?"

Zhou Zhou said proudly: "If you go back to the imperial concubine, a man of seven feet tall is not easy to say."

Behind the curtain, Yang Ehuang stretched out his hand to stop and signaled Shi Deyun not to speak in a hurry, and immediately asked: "Zhou Zhou, Pingping is just a dumb girl, why do you want to marry her? Maybe you are just impulsive, and I am afraid that you will be married later." Dislike is."
Zhou Zhou thought for a while and said, "She is plain and dumb, but she has a simple mind. Besides, a virtuous woman is not beautiful when she speaks little."

Yang Ehuang shook his head and said, "That's not a reason."

Zhou Zhou said anxiously at the moment: "Queen, this is what I think from the bottom of my heart. I also ask the queen to complete this marriage between Weichen and the princess."
Zhou Zhou saw behind the curtain, Yang Ehuang and Shi Deyun had already got up, Zhou Zhou saw him and said, "Empress, what are you going to do to let the princess marry the humble minister?"

Yang Ehuang didn't speak, but left together with Shi Deyun, and then the palace servants invited Zhou Zhou outside the palace to guard him.After walking out of Cuiwei Palace, Shi Deyun hurriedly caught up with Yang Ehuang and asked, "Queen, since Zhou Zhou has already agreed, why didn't you agree?"

Yang Ehuang smiled and said to Shi Deyun: "It's not that I want to put on airs, it's just that this is the first time Zhou Zhou begged, and I agreed. Where are you going to save my face?"

When Shi Deyun heard this, she was very angry, and said with a smile: "My queen, you Han people have so many rules, we grassland people don't care about them, if you like it, you like it, if you don't like it, you don't like it, and you will never beat around the bush. "

Yang Ehuang nodded and said, "That's true."
That night Zhou Zhou lived in a corner of the palace, and the palace guards outside were guarding him.

Zhou Zhou lived indoors, but his heart was filled with longing for mediocrity.Zhou Zhou immediately asked the guard for pen and ink.

The guards were very polite to Zhou Zhou, he had everything he wanted.Zhou Zhou prepared his pen and ink to write a letter to Pingping immediately, expressing his lovesickness, but he didn't care if he could send it out.

In the middle of the night, when the storm broke out, the door curtain was lifted suddenly, Zhou Zhou raised his head, and saw that Ping Ping's clothes were all wet, and he looked at him with red eyes.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Zhou yelled out, and immediately stepped forward to hug Pingping.

Seeing Pingping snuggling in his arms, Zhou Zhou laughed and cried, Zhou Zhou asked in surprise and joy: "Could it be that the queen has agreed, and we are married?"

Pingping raised his head to look at Zhou Zhou, and nodded affirmatively.Zhou Zhou was overjoyed when he heard the words, he couldn't speak when he hugged Pingping.

That night, there was a strong wind and rain, blowing against the wall tiles of Linshuo Palace, but the two inside the wall house felt very warm to each other.
