Huangxiu

Chapter 102 Lessons
When Jianchi Hou Guo Huaishan first saw Chu Zhiyuan, he didn't think anything of it.

Chu Zhiyuan has a reserved temperament, is calm and gentle, and doesn't show any sharp edge. However, just a few words can change his impression of him drastically.

He felt that the prince in front of him not only had extraordinary talent in cultivation, but was also a person who could not tolerate any sand in his eyes. He could not treat him the same way as he treated Chu Minghou.

His casual demeanor suddenly turned serious, and he clasped his fists and said, "Let's not beat around the bush. To be honest, my Lord, I have not given up yet."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "My Lord, you will be disappointed. My little sister is still young and I am not planning to get married in the next two or three years."

"It doesn't matter if you are still young. Just get engaged first and get married a few years later." Guo Huaishan said with a smile, "Just like the prince and the daughter of the Duke of Anguo's mansion, didn't they also get engaged first?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head: "That's different."

"Oh? What's the difference?"

"We are both not young anymore." Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile, "We can't delay any longer. My younger sister is different. She is still young, so there is really no rush."

Of course he wanted to ask directly what the status of you, the son of Marquis Jianchi, was and what the status of the daughter of Duke Anguo was.

Marquis Jianchi is thick-skinned and courageous.

If it were any of the other eight dukedoms, he wouldn't even dare to go in and propose marriage.

This is taking advantage of the weakness of Prince Qing’s Palace.

He cursed in his heart but didn't say it out loud. Reason stopped him.

It was a bit strange that Marquis Jianchi went directly to propose marriage, and there was something weird about it.

In such a situation, we should not let our emotions take over, vent our emotions at will, or speak at will.

"Prince..." Guo Huaishan laughed, "Actually, you think that my son is not worthy of the princess, right?"

Chu Zhiyuan avoided answering and smiled, "Lord Guo earned his title through military merit in the North, right?"

"In fact, this Marquis also feels that it is not quite up to par, but I believe that it can be improved to a higher level, and then my son will inherit the title of Marquis."

"Is it so easy to achieve merit in the North? Is it so easy to become a marquis?"

"Now that we have formed an alliance with Dazhen, Dameng will undoubtedly be defeated. It is easiest to win a favorable battle and it is the easiest to achieve merit."

"……Too."

"In fact, I suggest that you also go to the Northern Border Army. Now is a great time to gain merit. As your merit increases, your cultivation will also increase!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord." Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile, "It is said that the Great Mongolian cavalry is also unrivaled. How strong is its combat capability?"

"The Great Meng's Stepping Cloud Cavalry is very powerful." Guo Huaishan suddenly said solemnly: "The Great Meng's Stepping Cloud Cavalry should be no less powerful than the Great Zhen's Lingshuang Cavalry!"

"Then Lord Guo has also witnessed the power of the Lingshuang Iron Cavalry?"

"No, I have always been in the North Territory and have not been able to go to the Northwest Territory."

"It's a pity that I couldn't serve under Uncle Ten." Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile.

"It's indeed a pity." Guo Huaishan nodded slowly.

The tenth prince, Prince Ying, is known as the God of War. He is the idol of all the soldiers of Dajing and the goal that all the soldiers of Dajing pursue.

Not only did he enter the army incognito since childhood and start as a soldier, he also possessed extremely high tactical talent and was a genius in warfare.

There is a unique talent on the battlefield that allows one to sense danger in advance, thereby avoiding danger, attacking the weak and achieving victory.

……

In the following half hour, Chu Zhiyuan and Guo Huaishan talked about everything on the battlefield.

Guo Huaishan was in high spirits, just like Chu Minghou when Chu Zhiyuan first came in.

It was not until Bai Ningshuang returned home that Chu Zhiyuan apologized. He had other things to do in the afternoon and could not delay the errands in the yamen, so he would not invite the marquis to dinner.

After Guo Huaishan left with the scroll, Chu Zhiyuan looked at Chu Minghou.

"Lord Guo is too smooth."

Chu Minghou is affectionate and kind, but also extremely smart and perceptive. Of course he knows that Guo Huaishan is here to propose marriage.

Of course he would not agree, but when he saw the strange painting, he could not help but want to take a look at it. As a result, he was fascinated by it at first sight and forgot the time.

Guo Huaishan didn't mention marriage at all, so he didn't want to refuse first.

I originally thought that after looking at the painting, I would directly say it and reject him again, but before I could open my mouth, Chu Zhiyuan came back first.

Bai Ningshuang's face darkened and she sneered, "This guy is really thick-skinned. He actually came here in person. If Yi Er doesn't agree, does he want to force her to marry him?!"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Forget it, mother. Don't bother with him. Let's eat first."

Bai Ningshuang was still furious: "I'm so angry!...My Lord, if he comes again next time, ignore him!"

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Zou Fang: "Which faction is he from?"

"My Lord, he is under the command of Duke Kangguo's Mansion."

"Duke Kangguo's Mansion...Song Tianhai?" "Yes."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, turned to Feng Xi and said, "Manager Feng, find someone to bring out Lord Guo's son and give him a lesson."

"Yes, Your Highness." Feng Xi nodded solemnly and looked at Chu Minghou and Bai Ningshuang.

Chu Minghou hurriedly said: "Yuan'er..."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Don't reveal your identity, and don't hit too hard, just make sure it's a flesh wound."

"Yes." Feng Xi nodded.

Bai Ningshuang hurriedly said: "Yuan'er, just kick him out of the house, why bother to teach his son a lesson?"

She felt there was no need to harm innocent people.

After all, it's just a marriage proposal, not a kidnapping.

Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "If we don't teach him a lesson, everyone will think that our Prince Qing's Mansion is easy to bully."

"Then why not just scold him or even drive him away?"

"The Marquis was awarded the title for his military merits, so he should be treated with enough respect. If he is kicked out or scolded, what will the soldiers think?... Some of them will think that he is too abrupt to ask for marriage directly, but more people will think that he is brave and has the guts to try to curry favor with others."

"...That's right." Bai Ningshuang snorted unwillingly.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "They will also think that it is not necessary. They will not care that Guo Huaishan still came up to us and took advantage of us after we refused. They will only think that we in the Qing Palace are too disrespectful to the Marquis and the people who were awarded the title for military merit!"

This is killing without being seen.

Song Tianhai didn't realize there was such a sinister trick.

Without his encouragement, how could Guo Huaishan, a newly promoted marquis, have the courage to do so?

The hereditary succession of the Duke's Mansion made them more and more daring. They were in awe of other princes but had no awe at all for the fallen prince.

Of course, Song Tianhai was also obsessed with sex and went crazy.

People in a honeypot often have an illusion that they have entered the honeypot by their own ability. They do not think it is due to luck, so they have no awe or cherishment, and their mentality becomes more and more inflated.

This is even more true for the descendants of the powerful.

"Alas..." Chu Minghou smiled bitterly.

He really couldn't imagine all these twists and turns. Seeing Chu Zhiyuan and Guo Huaishan chatting and laughing so happily, he thought they got along very well.

He couldn't help but say, "But Yuan'er, you are tired enough."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and waved his hands: "Father, I'm not tired, it's quite interesting."

Super sense makes fighting people interesting.

Being able to see through the other person's subtle expressions and emotional changes, thus getting into their hearts and resolving their falsehoods, this god-like feeling is very interesting.

"Alas..., you work so hard, and it's also our incompetence as parents." Chu Minghou sighed.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed: "Father, I can be the crown prince, which is a blessing that many people cannot achieve in eight lifetimes!"

Bai Ningshuang chuckled and nodded repeatedly.

Chu Minghou couldn't help but laugh.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Don't tell my little sister about this, lest she be upset. It's time to eat."

"Yes, let's eat!" Bai Ningshuang had an appetite again: "Butler Feng, call Yi'er to come and eat."

"Yes!"

……

During the meal, she also talked about the situation in the palace.

This morning, two more concubines were sent to the cold palace to accompany Concubine Zhen.

Then she patted her fair forehead, took out a jade token from her sleeve and handed it to Chu Zhiyuan: "Here, this is what the queen handed over on behalf of the emperor."

Chu Zhiyuan took it and took a look, and it turned out to be a fifth-grade merit medal.

"The Queen said that this is a reward for all merits."

"What merits?"

"That's not detailed."

Chu Zhiyuan played with this fifth-grade merit badge with a smile on his face.

Seeing him like this, Chu Minghou, Bai Ningshuang and Chu Yi were also happy.
