The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

Jiang Nansheng held Gu Jinchu's face, lowered his head and pecked her slightly swollen lips. After kissing her, he raised his hand to straighten her crooked shoulders...

The two of them were still in the green-curtained carriage, and he had lost his composure.

Gu Jinchu sat on his lap and looked up at him. For some reason, Jiang Nansheng suddenly became a little out of control when talking about the eldest princess.

Jiang Nansheng sighed softly, pulled her into his arms again, and gently rested his chin on the top of her head: "Jinchu, don't look at me like that..."

Everyone knows that the fifth master of the Jiang family is a young genius. After hearing what Jin Chu just said, Jiang Nansheng felt that his past self was extremely stupid.

"Once you miss it, you lose it forever..."

For some reason, when he heard her words, he felt so heartbroken that he just wanted to hug her, kiss her, and even rub her into his bones and blood.

Jiang Nansheng could understand why the princess was hesitating between the two choices, not knowing how to choose...

It was just like before, because of the previous experience with the Shen family, in order to prevent Gu Jinchu from being hurt because of his love, he never responded to her love.

He thought he was protecting her, but he didn't realize that he was the one who made her sad and upset.

It is better to face it together than to protect in the dark.

This is what Jin Chu said about the need for honesty between two people, and Jiang Nansheng experienced it.

When Jiang Nansheng thought of this, his eyes were deep and full of undercurrents.

The arms around her tightened unconsciously, then he lowered his head and kissed the top of her head.

Gu Jinchu patted his back, thinking that he was worried about the eldest princess. "Third cousin has been traveling abroad for so many years, so he certainly doesn't care about power..."

After saying that, she couldn't be sure anymore. In her previous life, her third cousin did not serve as an official in the court.

Looking back at this life, the Zheng family has undergone great changes. Not only is it highly valued by Emperor Jianyuan, it has also become very popular among the aristocratic families.

Zhao Xuan was surprised when she saw Zheng Kaicheng suddenly appear at the door. She didn't even notice that Gu Jinchu had hidden outside.

Zheng Kaicheng came to his cousin's teahouse today and heard their conversation in the next room. Only then did he understand the real intention of his cousin asking him to come here.

He walked in slowly from the door and stood quietly in front of the eldest princess.

The eldest princess was wearing men's clothing today, looking like a suave yet somewhat overwhelmed young master from a noble family.

Zheng Kaicheng took out a hairpin from his bosom. This was the hairpin he took from the eldest princess' hair that day after they were poisoned by the Hehuan Powder and used it to stab himself in the face to keep himself clear-headed.

After sending her to her aunt in the Peony Garden, the hairpin was left with him, and he has kept it until today.

Zheng Kaicheng's voice was calm and steady: "The late emperor once issued an order and recorded it in the law."

"After the prince consort marries the princess, although the emperor will grant him a higher official position, he will be transferred away from the center of power to prevent him from holding too much power in the previous dynasty."

"Therefore, the prince consort will not be promoted easily. It can be said that the prince consort can only be a leisurely and wealthy person for the rest of his life..."

The warmth in his eyes was like the sunshine in the spring breeze, warming people's hearts just right, but not so hot that it made people feel unbearable.

Zheng Kaicheng asked softly, "So Princess, you always avoid me. Is it because you hate me, or is there another reason?"

Zhao Xuan slowly raised her head and her eyes fell on the tall and handsome young man in front of her.

The image before my eyes was of him being the top scorer in the imperial examination, full of vigor and vitality, and his eloquent speech when he recounted his travel experiences in Wenyuan Pavilion...

As a Langzhong in the Ministry of Personnel at the time, Zhao Xuan heard his father praising him more than once.

With the support of General Zheng and the marriage with the Jiang family, it can be expected that Zheng Kaicheng will have a bright future.

If he marries a woman from the Yue family who can help him develop his career, then his official career will be smooth and he will rise to the top.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xuan's face turned extremely pale.

Zheng Kaicheng didn't get her response, so he gently took her hand and walked to the window together.

Outside the window, a wide city canal stretches into the distance, as if there is no end.

"I have traveled to many places and seen many landscapes... I know the customs and practices of each place. I wonder if the eldest princess is interested in accompanying me to measure every piece of land under my feet?"

Zhao Xuan's mind seemed to explode, everything went blank, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

Zheng Kaicheng meant to give up everything he had? She even suspected that she had heard it wrong.

She stared at Zheng Kaicheng and asked uncertainly, "Master Zheng, do you know what you are talking about?"

Zheng Kaicheng chuckled, and he stretched out his fingers to gently close her open mouth.

The warmth in his eyes seemed to melt people. He whispered, "Originally, after leaving Jinan Prefecture, I was planning to go to Mobei..."

Because he had wasted some time helping his cousin solve her problem, he decided to return to his home in Baodi temporarily and continue his journey after the beginning of the new year.

However, plans always fail to keep up with changes. By chance, he became the top scorer in the imperial examination, but he was bogged down by trivial matters and could not go to Mobei as originally planned.

Now he has someone he wants to spend his life with.

Zheng Kaicheng stretched out his arms, put his arm around Zhao Xuan's shoulders, and spoke in a deep and rich voice:

"Although the weather in Mobei is cold, if we are lucky, we may be able to see the vision of five-colored light. I wonder if the princess is willing to go with me?"

Zhao Xuan has lived in the center of power since she was a child. She has never thought that someone would be willing to easily give up the power that is within their reach.

She was deeply conflicted and took a step to the side, not wanting to be swayed by his warmth.

"Lord Zheng, this joke is not funny at all." She clenched her hands into fists in her sleeves.

Zheng Kaicheng hugged his chest and leaned against the wall in front of the window. He looked at her with raised eyebrows and asked, "The princess has always been bold in love and hate, and has a clear distinction between love and hate. Why are you afraid?"

"You are the king and I am the subject. No matter what time it is, I am your subject who can be dismissed with just one word."

Even though he married the princess, they were still the emperor and his subject. From what he said, Zhao Xuan understood the supremacy of imperial power better than he did.

She had something else in mind that she cared about the most. She was afraid that they would end up becoming a pair of resentful lovers.

Zhao Xuan's eyes flickered, and she asked him nonchalantly, "What if I have difficulty in having children and cannot give birth to a child for you in the future, and I don't allow you to take concubines or maids?"
