Chapter 465 Holding Hands (Part )

It was as if an electric current surged in from the fingertips and instantly spread to every part of the body.

Cui Du's mind was blank and he just stared at Jiang Shaohua blankly.

This was not the first time the two shook hands. Jiang Shaohua was particularly respectful and respectful of capable ministers, and it was not new for him to hold their arms and shake hands.

But he knew that this time was different.

At this moment, she was just an ordinary girl, gently holding the hand of the boy she liked.

Jiang Shaohua's cheeks seemed to be covered with a light layer of powder, and upon closer inspection, she seemed to be shy: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"You're so pretty, I just want to keep looking at you." Cui Du's mind was already a mess, and he spoke the truth from the bottom of his heart: "That year I fell from mid-air in front of you, and when I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was you. At that time, I was thinking, how could there be such a pretty girl in the world!"

"In the past few years, we have had many opportunities to meet, but not many times to be alone together. It's a rare opportunity to look at you like this, and I can't bear to even blink."

All love at first sight is just based on lust.

He may not be the most beautiful or handsome one, but he is the one that suits your eyes the most.

In terms of appearance, there are always two or three young men who are more handsome than Cui Du. For example, Qiao Sanlang from the Lu family of Fanyang is a real top beauty. Another example is Wang Jin and Zheng Chen, both of whom are outstanding young men. The strange thing is that she likes Cui Du the most.

"I think you're pretty, too." Jiang Shaohua chuckled.

Cui Du's face turned redder, his black eyes sparkled, and he mustered up the courage to hold her hand.

Jiang Shaohua, who was known for her immense strength, suddenly lost all her strength at this moment, and became just like an ordinary girl, with her fingertips numb and her heart trembling slightly as she was held by the hand of her lover.

Cui Du stood there for a long time, grinning foolishly for a long time.

The night wind blew gently, ruffling the hair beside Jiang Shaohua's ears. Cui Du was reluctant to let go of her hand, and he lifted her hair with his left hand, a little clumsily.

Qin Hu, who was hiding in the dark, quietly rolled his eyes and turned away. Meng Sanbao and the others had already turned around.

However, there were no overly erotic scenes that followed.

Cui Du was still an innocent boy, and Jiang Shaohua was not eager to be intimate with him in public. The two of them just held hands and walked slowly forward.

There is no need to say anything, just listen to the cicadas and frogs chirping, feel the cool evening breeze, and be by the side of the person who will accompany you for the rest of your life. This scene is the most beautiful picture in the world.

After walking around the farm, it was already midnight.

Cui Du was reluctant to leave and whispered, "It's too late. The princess should go back and rest."

Jiang Shaohua hummed, and seeing Cui Du's reluctance, he couldn't help but laugh: "I'll stay at the farm for a few more days, and then go back to the palace."

Cui Du's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth rose. He asked, "When does the princess plan to recruit a son-in-law?"

Jiang Shaohua: "..."

Facing such eager gazes and such direct questions, Jiang Shaohua was a little overwhelmed. She coughed and said, "I haven't thought about this matter yet. I will discuss it with Chen and Feng when I return home."

Recruiting a son-in-law was not just her business, but a major event for the Nanyang Palace. She didn't care what Lu Xuan thought, but she wanted to seek the opinions of Chen Changshi and Feng Changshi.

Cui Du immediately started thinking: "I will go back to the palace with the princess. Then it will be convenient for Chen Changshi and Feng Changshi to ask anything."

Jiang Shaohua couldn't resist his enthusiasm and eagerness, cleared his throat and said, "There's no need to be so anxious. You and I are still young, so it's okay to wait two or three years before getting married." Cui Du nodded in agreement, "The princess is right, it's best to get married after the age of eighteen. In our place, people are considered adults at the age of eighteen. Of course, if the princess wants to get married earlier, I can also..."

"There's no rush to get married," Jiang Shaohua's face was a little hot.

"Then let's get engaged first!" Cui Du's request for a formal status was very sincere and passionate: "With a formal status, it will be more convenient for the princess and I to be together in the future. It will also make those people with ulterior motives give up sooner."

After all, the last sentence is the key point.

Over the past few months, the Xue and Lu families and the Qinghe Cui family have not given up and have been writing letters from time to time, hinting at their intention to marry into the couple's family.

Even though Cui Du was busy at the farm all day, he could not hide these things from him. Every time he heard such news, he would be sour for a few days.

Now that I finally have the confidence to ask for a legitimate status, my attitude must of course be positive.

Jiang Shaohua thought for a moment and said, "There is no problem with the engagement. This matter needs to be discussed with Cui of Boling, so don't be in a hurry."

Cui Du was overjoyed: "No hurry, no hurry, I'll wait for the good news from the princess."

Jiang Shaohua smiled slightly.

Looking at a beauty under the moonlight is more hazy and beautiful than in the daytime.

Cui Du's heart was beating like a drum, and he wanted to get closer and kiss her. But when he thought of the many guards hiding in the dark but staring at this side, his courage disappeared immediately. He just moved his fingers and gently scratched her palm.

Jiang Shaohua's cheeks turned slightly red and she glared at him.

……

Cui Du returned to the house with light steps, as if he was drunk.

Cousin Cui Wang had been waiting in the house. Seeing Cui Du's light steps and silly smile, he was amused. "What's wrong? Is there any good news?"

Cui Du was so happy that he almost exploded. He couldn't help but grin and said, "Indeed, there is a big happy event. The princess said that she would discuss the engagement with the Cui family when she returns to the palace."

Cui Wang jumped up suddenly as if he was stung by a wasp: "Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true." Cui Du straightened his chest proudly: "This is what the princess said herself."

Cui Wang grinned with joy and hugged Cui Du tightly: "This is such a happy event! That's great!"

Nanyang County is powerful, and the Princess of Nanyang is famous. The Cui family of Boling has decided to place a bet on the Nanyang Palace. Cui Du will become the princess's son-in-law, which is the best reward for the Cui family of Boling.

"I will write a letter to my grandfather and father right away," Cui Wang said with a smile, "and ask them to prepare the betrothal gifts immediately."

Cui Du was stunned: "The princess said that a son-in-law does not need a betrothal gift. If there is a betrothal gift, it is the Nanyang Palace that will be the one to betrothal to the Cui family of Boling."

Marrying a son-in-law is just the opposite of marrying a daughter-in-law.

Cui Wang laughed: "Look at me, I was so happy that I forgot about this matter." After a pause, he laughed softly and said: "If you can't propose, you can always prepare a 'dowry'. You don't have to worry about this matter, I'll speak for you."

Cui Du became the Earl of Changning, and now he will be the princess's son-in-law, so he must be the most valued descendant of the Bo Ling Cui family. In the event of marriage, it is reasonable for the family to contribute money, manpower and effort.

If you don't contribute anything, how can you have the face to benefit from others in the future?

Cui Du has lived in Daliang for more than five years and now understands the ins and outs of this. Upon hearing this, he smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, cousin."
