Luo Zhaoyun was stunned after hearing this. Xue Zhiqing's words made him uncomfortable, and he was completely unprepared. He was stunned, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

He looked at the beauty, with her teeth as white as jade, under her long eyelashes, and her charming eyes had an irresistible charm.

At this moment, Luo Zhaoyun's heart was beating a little, because this proposal was so heart-warming.

No, you are a person with principles, so you cannot compromise like this! Luo Zhaoyun thought in his heart, and was trapped in a complex conflict.

"Do you like me?" Luo Zhaoyun asked.

"I don't hate it!" Xue Zhiqing said lightly.

Luo Zhaoyun smiled bitterly, and understood in his heart that he was thinking too much, so he calmed down. He said, "I understand, this is a transaction, I'm very sorry. Although I admit that you are a beautiful woman, both talented and beautiful, and fascinating, I admire her very much, but I cannot be irresponsible for feelings and cannot blaspheme your name as a talented woman. Such a marriage is no different from a political marriage, so I don't agree."

Xue Zhiqing was also a little stunned because with her beauty and talent, how many men in the capital were eager to marry her? The nobles and noble families and noble families were asking for marriage to the Xue family for their children.

The Great Sui Dynasty paid attention to family background and followed the aristocratic system after the Eastern Jin Dynasty. When aristocrats from all over the country were married, they paid attention to noble surnames and family genealogy studies, and they paid attention to the equal status of the family and looked down on poor families. Even officials, if they do not have a family background and have been passed down for several generations, they are still incomparable clans.

The Xue family is a big family in Nanchen, and Xue Daoheng is also a great literary master. Therefore, the Xue family is also a famous family. Too many families want to marry descendants of the Xue family, and they feel very handsome.

"Don't you marry me?"

"If you are willing to marry me and you are in love with each other, I will naturally be happy..."

"No--" At this moment, a girl's voice suddenly came, interrupting Luo Zhaoyun's words and scaring him.

Luo Zhaoyun turned around and saw a bright and beautiful girl wearing a plain gauze dress and a light pink daffodil scattered green leaf skirt. The skirt was pleated by the light, which highlighted her graceful and tender figure. It was Princess Ruyi Yang Caiyu.

There was a kind of girlish innocence in her clear eyes, and her face was a little frightened. She walked forward and said, "Zhaoyun, you can't agree because you promised that when the time is right, you should make a clear plan to marry me into the Luo family."

Luo Zhaoyun was sweating coldly, and the girl heard it. She was just joking with Xue Zhiqing just now, but it was obvious that Princess Ruyi took it seriously.

Xue Zhiqing was also a little surprised. She knew Princess Ruyi because Princess Nanyang had taken her sister to the Taixue Academy in Luoyang and heard her lecture. Because they were both women, they had intercourse and were quite familiar with her. She liked Princess Ruyi's intelligence and understanding. Unexpectedly, Ruyi and Luo Zhaoyun had already secretly settled their lifelong relationship in private.

Luo Zhaoyun said awkwardly: "You misunderstood this. Miss Xue just said a hypothesis, not really wanting to marry me..."

"What the hell is going on?" Princess Ruyi asked suspiciously.

Luo Zhaoyun then spoke selectively about the whole story, reiterated his situation, was powerless, and explained that what Xue Zhiqing was just saying was just angry and could not be taken seriously.

Princess Ruyi suddenly realized and nodded, "So that's the case, Sister Xue, since Zhao Yun is in a dilemma, then don't drag him down. It's better, I'll go back to the palace and ask my mother for help and persuade my father. Maybe there's a turnaround."

When Xue Zhiqing heard this, she said excitedly: "Princess Ruyi, it would be great if you are willing to help. If all the civil and military ministers in the court cannot persuade His Majesty, perhaps only Empress Xiao has this ability."

Princess Ruyi heard the implicit voice and sighed softly: "The father has indeed changed a lot now. He is not listening to advice, which has led to many ministers around him who dare not tell the truth. It is very dangerous to continue like this. Unfortunately, I am a princess with only a reputation and glory after all, but I have no ability to interfere in politics. I can't help much in the affairs of the royal family and the court, and I can't even control my own marriage and can't speak out loud."

Xue Zhiqing sighed and regretted for her, but she was still excited about Princess Ruyi's help, so she had a greater chance of saving her grandfather.

"Zhiqing thanked Princess Ruyi first."

Princess Ruyi said, "Don't be busy thanking me. Actually, I have requirements, and I hope Sister Zhiqing can abide by it."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"If I really persuade my father to pardon Lord Xue through my relationship with the queen, I hope that Sister Zhiqing will not mention marrying into the Luo family and snatch the position of my wife with me!" Princess Ruyi expressed her concerns, because Xue Zhiqing is both talented and beautiful, and has a beautiful country. Regardless of her appearance or talent, she is a masterpiece in the capital. No woman surpasses her, so Princess Ruyi felt threatened.

Moreover, Princess Ruyi also has her own difficulties. She cannot marry Luo Zhaoyun as a fair wife or a concubine like an ordinary woman, because she is a princess of the current dynasty and has the status and dignity of the royal family. Emperor Yang of Sui would not allow her. Her daughter, if she marrys a married husband, must be the right wife and be the prince consort with peace of mind. Even a fair wife must not be allowed. The concubine should try to avoid it and not take concubines publicly. This is a qualified prince consort, which does not humiliate the nobleness and majesty of the royal family.

Therefore, in ancient times, not everyone was willing to be a prince-consort. One was that he could not be an official position with real power, and the other was that he could not take concubines and find women. Many restrictions were made. For the ancient scholars and doctors who were very romantic, they would have less fun.

Xue Zhiqing's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said awkwardly: "I don't really want to marry him, so, princess, you don't have to worry at all."

A blue veins rose on Luo Zhaoyun's forehead and glanced at Xue Zhiqing, thinking: Are you kidding me just now? This woman is faster than turning aside from reading books. In an instant, she became a passerby. (To be continued.)
