The people watching could not help but point their fingers.
"Tsk, tsk, you are actually a heartless man, and you still have the nerve to let your former fiancée be your concubine, ah!"
"Miss He just has high vision, not blindness. Look, Miss He can't even look down on such a good-looking young man."
"This couple looks so shabby, they must take themselves too seriously!"
“……”
Amid all the discussions, Han Dong's face turned even redder.
He only had knowledge but no color, so he was naturally not as good as that handsome young man. He felt that he had lost all face.
His wife, Mrs. Kong, said coldly: "That boy must be the young man from Fengyuechang, otherwise He Jingru would definitely get married right away!"
Han Dong nodded: "Yes, it must be like this!"
It seemed that only thinking like this could make him feel better.
The people on the street gradually dispersed.
He Jingru's sister looked at Chu Hongyu curiously: "Who are you? Are you really my eldest sister's suitor?"
Chu Hongyu closed the paper fan and said seriously: "Of course it is."
He Jingru's face turned crimson instantly.
Sister He held her chin and said suspiciously: "With such good looks, he must be a man from that kind of place..."
"No nonsense!" He Jingru scolded coldly, "You go to the teahouse in front and wait for me. I will come back later."
As soon as Sister He left, He Jingru knelt down and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. My sister is not sensible and her words just now were offensive. Please..."
"It's okay. It's true that I didn't identify myself." Chu Hongyu used a folding fan to hold up He Jingru's saluting hand, "You don't need to salute when you see me outside."
He Jingru nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty."
"You don't have to call me emperor." Chu Hongyu coughed, "Have you heard about the emperor's expedition?"
He Jingru lowered her head: "I heard from my father that the emperor... going on an expedition can boost morale and conquer Beidi. I think it is a good thing."
"Oh?" Chu Hongyu was a little depressed, "Isn't Miss He worried that something will happen to me?"
He Jingru didn't know how to address the person in front of her, so she could only say vaguely: "Master Huang sat in that position when he was young. He was only eight years old and made great achievements, which really impressed the girls of the people. During these years in office, he worked hard to govern and serve the country. People, he can be regarded as a wise king... In the eyes of my daughter, Mr. Huang can strategize thousands of miles away. Before making this decision, he must have been fully sure that he will definitely win a great victory when he goes to northern Xinjiang!"
When Chu Hongyu was so praised by his sweetheart, the corners of Chu Hongyu's lips immediately curled up.
He Jingru laughed a little.
Why is the emperor's temperament similar to that of a child? He will be happy when he praises her. However, she did not exaggerate the facts. The emperor is like this in her heart.
"You are right. I am absolutely sure that within three months, I will be victorious and return to the court!" Chu Hongyu raised his hand and made a gesture, and a man in black suddenly appeared behind him.
He Jingru was startled.
She thought it was a sneak attack assassin and was already ready to rush over to protect Chu Hongyu.
She is just an insignificant little girl, and the person opposite is the emperor. If anything happens to the emperor, the world will be in chaos...
But the man in black handed the box in his hand to Chu Hongyu and disappeared.
Chu Hongyu handed the box to He Jingru's hand: "It's for you."
He Jingru was a little confused and took it instinctively, then threw it back like a hot potato: "No reward for no merit, a civilian girl..."
"Just what you said just now, believe that I can win a big victory, and you are worthy of these things." Chu Hongyu opened the box, "Take a look, do you like it?"
He Jingru looked at it.
I saw that the box was full of women's jewelry, including hairpins, hairpins, earrings, bracelets, rings... The whole box was dazzling in the sun.
Chu Hongyu said seriously: "I meant it when I said I wanted you to be the queen."
He Jingru suddenly burst into tears.
After her mother died and her fiancé broke off the engagement, she heard countless rumors, but she never cried.
She took care of the household chores for her father, raised her younger siblings, and managed the He family's business with great care so that the He family would not be in dire straits...
When the three-year filial piety period was over and she was getting older, her father found someone in the West to arrange marriage for her.
But many people refused to get married as soon as they heard that she had been annulled and that she was old. Some of the people who agreed to see her either had wives who were dead, or whose family status was extremely poor, or that person had problems that were not humane to outsiders... …
She never thought that someone would hold a box of jewelry and give it to her sincerely.
She didn't know what the future would be like, but she was sure that the person in front of her did have her in his heart at this moment.
She does not have an enviable family background.
There is no beauty beyond ordinary people.
He doesn't even have any talents.
He chose her because he really wanted her to be by his side.
How can one not be moved by such a heart.
How could such a person not make people's hearts move?
He Jingru sniffed: "I accepted these things."
"Ah, why are you crying?" Chu Hongyu was a little confused, "Did I scare you? I'm sorry..."
He Jingru said one word at a time: "I am willing to be your queen."
"You..." Chu Hongyu hesitated, "Are you doing it to anger your former fiancé?"
"How could it be?" He Jingru suddenly laughed, "I don't care about that person for a long time, and any of my decisions have nothing to do with him."
Chu Hongyu still couldn't believe it: "Then why did you suddenly agree? Are you happy with me?"
"I have no reason not to please the Emperor." He Jingru paused and said, "I admire, respect, and admire the Emperor. It is too easy for these feelings to turn into happiness..."
Chu Hongyu was overjoyed.
He didn't dare to express his feelings in the previous song because he was worried that He Jingru had not forgotten his fiancé.
It turned out that she no longer cared about that person.
If I had known this, why wasted so long...
He wanted to pick up He Jingru.
But I was afraid of being abrupt.
He was spinning in circles happily.
Then the first pass ran away.
He Jingru was left alone.
"It's rare for the emperor to still have the heart of a child!"
He Jingru laughed a little.
How can a person be both a wise king and a child? Why are you so majestic and childish?
"Elder sister, what are you laughing at?" Sister He waited for a long time and found no one, so she came over again. When she saw the box in He Jingru's arms, she was stunned, "My God, this is the best emerald. Earrings, these are red gold Bu Yao... This, these were given to the eldest sister by the young master just now?"
He Jingru closed the lid of the box and hummed softly.
"Eldest sister, who is he? Why is he so generous? When will he come to our house to propose marriage?"
He Jingru shook her head.
Probably three months later, when he returned victorious.
If after three months, he still has her in his heart, it means that this is a marriage worth looking forward to.
If there is no news from Yao after three months... that's okay. This is not the first time she has been injured.
However, that evening, the edict came down.
