Chapter 740 Marriage should follow one's own wishes
"Thank you, Your Highness the King of Yue, for your concern. I'm fine," Tao Wenjun smiled slightly. After coming here, she knew how much importance the emperor attached to the Autumn Imperial Examination, so she put away all her bad emotions and prepared for the Autumn Imperial Examination.
Xiao Zhenzhen handed Tao Wenjun a token, "This is my token. If you want to go to the Ministry of Justice Prison, you can go anytime."
"You are the first person to get my token."
Tao Wenjun raised her eyes. She didn't expect that she would really do what she said. She was immediately excited and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Don't be so impatient, I have requests."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
Xiao Zhenzhen frowned, "You have seen my brother before. He is unromantic and has a cold personality."
Tao Wenjun was stunned. His Royal Highness Prince Chen indeed had an aura that no mortals should disturb him. "I don't understand what the prince means."
"My brother and Miss Xie Ying of Duke Xie's mansion are destined to be together. Xie Ying is also in this women's college. In half a month, I will set off to the border to fight against Yuecheng State. By then, I will not have time to say anything good for my brother or do anything..."
"Xie Ying, although I just came today, I have heard from everyone that Miss Xie has been engaged to Lord Qing. They are a perfect match, and everyone is envious of them. Isn't this ruining someone's marriage?"
Xiao Zhenzhen choked.
She looked at Tao Wenjun for a long time and tried to explain, "Do you know the former supervisor, Lord Rong? Lord Rong's divinations have never been wrong. Lord Rong said that Sister Aying and my brother are a natural match, and it is the only right fate that is destined. If this fate is missed, it will be a lifelong thing for my brother, and the same for Sister Aying. That's why I want to help my brother and Sister Aying."
Tao Wenjun pursed her lips slightly, and Xiao Zhenzhen said, "Just tell me, I will never blame you."
"Then I will speak frankly."
"Ah."
"From what His Royal Highness the Prince of Yue said, and from what I have guessed, Your Highness is thinking about His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen, and is worried that he will miss this opportunity and be alone.
So His Highness wants to make plans for it, although subjectively he does not want to harm Miss Xie's interests, but in fact, as the heroine of this relationship, has anyone ever asked the person concerned what she thinks? "
"I..." Xiao Zhenzhen shook her head.
Tao Wenjun continued, "I'm sorry I can't agree to your request, Your Highness. Miss Xie is an independent person. Her future, whether good or bad, should be decided by herself, not by people like Your Highness and me."
"I just hope that Sister Aying and my brother can have a chance to be together and live in harmony."
"What you hope for may not necessarily come true. In the future, whether Miss Xie chooses Lord Qing or His Royal Highness Prince Chen, it is her own decision. Excessive interference is like forcing something to grow too fast, or even backfires."
Xiao Zhenzhen suddenly felt that the incense that Master Ding gave her was a bit tricky.
"Of course, as the younger sister of Prince Chen, it is understandable that Your Highness the Prince of Yue is worried about her brother. The most you can do is to help Your Highness the Prince of Chen. And, does Your Highness the Prince of Yue really think that His Highness the Prince of Chen is willing for you to intervene?"
Xiao Zhenzhen frowned, "If my royal brother knew, he would definitely be unhappy." But if everything ends perfectly, my royal brother should thank her very much.
Tao Wenjun nodded.
But she also knew the famous Lord Jian Zhengrong.
All the past supervisors were highly skilled in Taoism and were god-like figures. Since Lord Rong had made such a prediction, "Your Highness the King of Yue, I understand your feelings. Although I cannot use tricks or schemes, Your Highness can speak directly to Miss Xie."
"I firmly believe that Your Highness must have considered Miss Xie, which is why he is so worried about them. But in fact, Miss Xie is already engaged. If Your Highness or Prince Chen does something, wouldn't it be like the king taking away the minister's wife? How will the world comment on this rash action?"
Xiao Zhenzhen thought for a long time, "If one day, Sister Ying made her own choice, and if she chose my brother, but was criticized by thousands of people..."
"Then even if I am alone and weak, I will still support you. If the emperor really wants equality between men and women, he should give women in the world the opportunity to have an independent personality and an independent individual. Our lives and marriages should follow our own wishes. We don't have to get married just because we are engaged. And once you get married, you are not allowed to struggle and can only drown even in the quagmire..."
After listening to what Tao Wenjun said, I realized that Tao Wenjun was looking at this fate from Sister Aying's perspective.
She looked at this relationship from the perspective of her royal brother and the royal family.
After walking out of the academy.
Xiao Zhenzhen sat in the shaking carriage without saying a word. Zhou Yiqing asked, "Zhen'er is unhappy?"
"Not really. I just feel that we really shouldn't interfere too much with Sister Ying's fate."
"Tao Wenjun is just standing from the perspective of a bystander, but you and I are not like that. We are more standing from the perspective of relatives."
Xiao Zhenzhen looked at him with a smile, then simply stood up, sat with him, took his hand, and looked at him with sparkling eyes, "Well, continue."
Zhou Yiqing looked at Zhen'er who was holding his hand and was so naturally close to him. When his heart was beating fast, her bare hand touched his chest and she put her ear close to him to listen.
"Your heart is beating so fast. Once you get used to it, it should stop beating so fast, right?" Xiao Zhenzhen said jokingly.
Zhou Yiqing frowned, "You really don't care, do you know..."
"Is it not appropriate for men and women to touch each other?"
Need to say?
"Will you do anything worse than an animal to me?"
"Of course not!" They haven't gotten married yet.
"Yes, if it won't happen, why should I be afraid, and why can't I hold my fiancé's hand?"
"The imperial decree granting the marriage has not yet come down."
“Well, you’re not here, but your father and Aunt Qingning should have received the imperial edict.”
Zhou Yiqing couldn't help but smile, "What on earth are you thinking?"
"Ok?"
"Always asking questions that catch me off guard."
"for example?"
The boy smiled and said, "I won't tell you now."
"why?"
"Because it's not the time to speak yet."
"Then when can you tell me?"
"After we get married."
Xiao Zhenzhen raised her eyes and looked at Zhou Yiqing. The boy's face had turned red, and her cheeks were also a little hot. She naturally thought of the scene in Jinzhou, where she had said many shameful words to him without restraint.
But why did she feel good seeing him blushing?
She reached out and held the boy's chin, "Zhou Yiqing, how can you be so nice?"
"It's not because I'm good, but because you're good."
"Why didn't I feel that?"
"Because you were standing high up, innocent and carefree, I was the first to see your goodness," he put his hand on the girl's wrist and looked at her gently, "Thank you for giving me a chance, thank you for liking me too."
