The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

Zenmu lowered his head and uttered "hmm" after a long time.

"Have you really... never been attracted to her?" Xia Younan stared at Zenmu's face, trying to find any signs of his being attracted to her.

It was a pity that Chanmu still had that same icy face that hadn't changed for thousands of years, with no emotion on his face. "Junior sister, I am a monk, and my six senses are pure."

Xia Younan had nothing more to say. He shook his head regretfully and left.

After she left, Chanmu stood in front of Qu Xiaoyou's door, raised his hand several times to knock on the door, but put it down several times.

He wanted to persuade her not to get married, but then he thought of what she had said...

Yes, what qualifications and reasons did he have to persuade her?

That night, Qu Xiaoyou couldn't sleep all night, and Chanmu didn't leave either. He stood outside the door all night, feeling confused and lonely.

The moon was bright and clear, and two people were separated by a door, each with their own thoughts, in silence...

The next day, as the morning light began to rise, Chanmu was about to leave quietly when Qu Xiaoyou's door creaked open.

"Why are you here?" Qu Xiaoyou saw Zenmu and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"Uh... I came to call you for dinner." Zenmu lied, forgetting for a moment that he was a monk and the rules that "monks must not tell lies."

"Oh," Qu Xiaoyou nodded, with no expression on her face, "Thank you."

After saying that, he was about to leave.

"Xiaoyou!" Zenmu still called her.

Qu Xiaoyou stopped and did not look back, waiting quietly for his next words.

"Don't marry him." Zenmu stared at her back, his tone seeming to beg.

Qu Xiaoyou remained silent. Obviously, his words could not change her mind.

Zenmu went on to say: "None of us wants you to sacrifice for the so-called 'greater interest'. No one is willing to accept it."

Qu Xiaoyou turned around and stared at him with a serious expression, and said word by word: "Younan told me what you said last night, I don't care whether you accept it or not.

"I am doing this for the common people. Soldiers from all walks of life have sacrificed their lives on the battlefield, and I am just marrying someone. What's wrong with that?"

"Love between young men and women seems so insignificant in the face of the greater good of the country, so don't tell me about likes and dislikes, sacrifices and not sacrifices, it's too childish!"

Her words undoubtedly blocked Zenmu's next words. He didn't know what to say next. He just stared at her silently for a long time.

Qu Xiaoyou sighed softly and said in a somewhat sad tone: "I have been with you for three years, and the best period of my life has been spent by your side. I am content.

"Now, it's time for me to get married. From now on, we will be separated from each other, the green mountains will be like ink, and the grass will be like smoke."

After saying this, she didn't stay any longer and started to leave.

"Xiao You!" Without waiting for her to leave, Jun Ziyao came trotting over with a smile on his face.

He was wearing a purple gold and jade crown on his head, a purple robe embroidered with a dragon, black cloud-patterned boots, a jade pendant on his waist, and gold bracelets on his hands. He was very suave and elegant.

People feel refreshed when they encounter happy events. The joy of seeing his sweetheart made the young man smile like a spring breeze. His white teeth gleamed slightly under the sunlight, and he looked high-spirited and full of energy.

"Young City Lord." Qu Xiaoyou greeted him and walked towards him.

Jun Ziyao ran to her side and stopped, then took out a small box mysteriously and said, "I'll show you something."

"What is it?" Qu Xiaoyou pretended to look at the exquisite brocade box with curiosity.

Jun Ziyao smiled and slowly opened the box...

Lying in the box was a red jade bracelet.

The bracelet is blood red all over, with fine and transparent texture, bright and pure color, simple shape, thick material, and without a trace of crack. You can tell at first glance that it is a priceless treasure.

"This...what is this?" Qu Xiaoyou was amazed at the quality of the bracelet and looked up at Jun Ziyao in confusion.

Jun Ziyao took the bracelet out of the box, looked at her lovingly and said, “This is my mother’s dowry, not only is it priceless, but it can also nourish a woman’s body.

"She said she wanted to give this bracelet to her future daughter-in-law. When she heard that I was getting married yesterday, she gave it to me and asked me to put it on you. She also asked me to take you to meet her and my father as soon as possible."

"Uh...so that's how it is." Qu Xiaoyou nodded without saying anything.

"Then... can I put it on you? My fiancée." Jun Ziyao stared at Qu Xiaoyou's flawless white jade face, and the affection in his starry eyes was about to overflow.

Qu Xiaoyou hesitated for a moment, glanced at Zen Mu who was still standing behind her, and slowly raised her white and slender hand.

Zenmu looked at this scene, his brows furrowed deeply, forming a hard little lump.

Seeing Qu Xiaoyou raising her hand, Jun Ziyao's eyes lit up. He quickly suppressed the excitement in his heart, held Qu Xiaoyou's wrist with one hand, and slowly put the blood-red jade bracelet on her hand with the other hand.

"Well, you have fair skin, and wearing this blood jade really complements it, it's so beautiful." Jun Ziyao happily praised Qu Xiaoyou.

Qu Xiaoyou smiled lightly and put down her hand, "Thank you."

If she really marries such an affectionate young man, then no matter whether she falls in love with him or not in the future, she will never hurt him or let him down!

"Let's go." Jun Ziyao said to Qu Xiaoyou with a smile. He looked at her delicate hand and wanted to hold it, but was afraid of disturbing the beauty.

"Okay." Qu Xiaoyou agreed and walked out of the mansion with him.

"Where are you going?" Zenmu, who had been standing nearby, finally couldn't help but speak. His face was gloomy, with an unknown feeling in his chest.

The two turned back together. Jun Ziyao put his hands together and politely bowed to Zen Mu. He replied, "We agreed to go shopping together today and buy some things for the wedding."

Chanmu said nothing more. He just felt that the Buddhist ritual performed by Junzi Yao was so dazzling, like a bolt of thunder in a clear sky, reminding him of a fact that he should not forget.

The breeze was not dry and the sun was shining brightly. The people of Tang City put their worries to rest and started their daily work.

The streets were as bustling as ever, with shops on both sides bustling with people coming and going; customers gathered in groups of three or four on the roadside stalls; and mobile vendors were shaking rattles to attract people while hawking their wares.

Jun Ziyao and Qu Xiaoyou were walking side by side on a busy avenue, one was in high spirits and full of joy, while the other had a calm expression and was in a bad mood.

"Xiaoyou, try this glutinous rice and red date cake. It's sweet, soft and has a pleasant aroma. It's delicious." Jun Ziyao bought some exquisite desserts from the roadside and handed them to Qu Xiaoyou.

"Thank you." Qu Xiaoyou did not refuse. She thanked him politely and took the pastry and tasted it in small bites.

"After you finish eating, we will go to the largest restaurant for dinner. In the afternoon, we will go to the top tailor shop to tailor your wedding dress. Then I will take you to choose the phoenix crown, bridal bridal bridal jewellery. In short, we must buy the best of everything!"

Jun Ziyao talked about his arrangements with a beaming excitement on his face, like a child who had received candy.

Qu Xiaoyou just nodded in agreement and silently accepted his arrangement.

Jun Ziyao noticed her absent-mindedness and chuckled, as if he was comforting her, or as if he was comforting himself.

"I really like you so much. It's my blessing that you are willing to marry me. I will treat you wholeheartedly in the future. You will like me, for sure!"

Qu Xiaoyou couldn't bear to ignore the boy's enthusiasm, so she smiled at him, suppressed the disappointment in her heart and replied: "I hope so."

Her charming smile was like the first bloom of a flower, which made Jun Ziyao's eyes wide open and he nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice.

Little did they know that their actions were seen by two people behind the wall not far away...
