The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

The emperor retreated suddenly, then performed a Tai Chi move and stood firmly in a horse stance.

"Zhou Shiyue, you are so outrageous!"

Zhou Shiyue sneered, "You keep calling me Master, but you want to break up your Master's God-given marriage? How presumptuous of you, old man!"

"Do you want to have some shame? Are you the Master's God-given match?"

"Why not? Take a closer look. Apart from me, who else's face can match her appearance?"

Zhou Shiyue held Lu Zhaoling tightly in his arms, as if he was holding a big baby, and pinched her face with one hand to lift her face up.

With this pinch, Lu Zhaoling's face was sunken on both sides, and her mouth was about to pout.

Her big eyes blinked, and her look seemed helpless and a bit amusing.

"Did you get along like this before? Won't there be a falling out in the palace?" She was pinched so hard that she couldn't speak clearly.

The emperor pointed at Zhou Shiyue and said, "Let go of your dog paw! Can the master be controlled by you like this?"

Zhou Shiyue snorted.

"You call her your master, and I call her my princess. Who's getting in the way?"

"What princess? I haven't even finished my mourning period! I haven't even gotten married yet, why are you calling me princess now?"

"You are half alive now, so why not just skip the mourning period?" Zhou Shiyue had an idea.

Seems feasible?

He looked down at Lu Zhaoling, "Do you think it's okay? He's still halfway alive, why should he observe mourning? Let's get married first."

"I will beat you to death, you unfilial son!" The emperor picked up his own tablet.

Zhou Shiyue immediately lifted Lu Zhaoling up and said, "Master's shield! Try to smash it if you dare!"

The emperor's movements were instantly stuck.

"Master, look at this monkey, what is so good about him that he deserves to be married? What virtue and ability does he have?"

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Lu Zhaoling screamed.

She pushed Zhou Shiyue back with her elbow.

Zhou Shiyue groaned, took a step back, and touched his lower abdomen.

"The girl from the Shen family that the emperor just mentioned, is she Prime Minister Shen's daughter Shen Xiangjun?" Lu Zhaoling asked.

"Well, that's her."

The retired emperor held his own tablet and became serious.

Lu Zhaoling turned around and glanced at Zhou Shiyue.

"Did Zhou Shiyue and Shen Xiangjun have a verbal engagement?"

"Where is the engagement? There is neither written nor oral one." Zhou Shiyue frowned.

The Emperor coughed and said, "This happened a long time ago, when Shen Xiangjun was having her first birthday."

"Zhuazhou?"

"Yes, at that time, I wanted to have fun together with the emperor and his subjects, or to bring the emperor and his subjects closer together. I took Ayue and his brother to the Shen Mansion, and the little girl's one-year-old ceremony was quite interesting."

Zhou Shiyue did not interrupt him at this time.

In fact, he was also confused when the emperor was dying. He wondered why the old man wanted him to marry Shen Xiangjun even though he knew that he didn't like her.

Moreover, now that half of the story has been told, not telling it in full will easily lead to misunderstandings, so it is better to be clear.

"I don't remember that."

"You should be able to remember things by then. You can remember things very early. But you had a serious illness during that time, and you had just recovered from the illness. Because of the illness, you were still a little confused. You were always in a trance and couldn't hear the people around you calling you."

When the retired emperor thought of that time and looked at his youngest son who had become so handsome now, he felt a little emotional.

"You didn't want to go in the first place, but I forced you to go. You were absent-minded when you went to the Shen Mansion, so you might not remember it."

"So, it was you, the Supreme Emperor, who verbally engaged them on the day when Shen Xiangjun was celebrating her first birthday?"

Lu Zhaoling asked this question very seriously.

She shouldn't have seen it wrong. When she got on Prince Jin's carriage, she saw him. Even though there was no marriage line between them, there was no entanglement, otherwise she would not have gone over.

Zhou Shiyue narrowed his eyes and looked at the emperor dangerously.

Don't think he doesn't dare to hit his father.

The emperor took a step back and quickly shook his head.

"It wasn't like that at first. Shen Xiangjun was doing the one-year-old ceremony, and there were a lot of things on the ground. But after the little girl was put down, she looked around for a long time without touching anything. Then she saw Zhou Shiyue standing next to her."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Shiyue, and Lu Zhaoling also looked over.

"Then she crawled towards this guy."

At that time, Zhou Shiyue was only three or four years old, still a little kid.

"Although the Shen family's little girl is so young, when she was born, many people said that they had never seen such a clean and white baby. During the one-year-old ceremony, she was dressed like a fairy. She didn't have a runny nose or spit bubbles like other babies. She was just very clean."

The emperor thought about the scene at that time, "So everyone was very fond of her. When she crawled towards Ayue, I just watched it for fun. But after the little kid crawled over, he wanted to hug Ayue's legs."

Lu Zhaoling's gaze then fell on Zhou Shiyue's calf.

The tender, clean and pretty little girl crawled over and asked for a hug.

Tsk, if they were the male and female protagonists, it would be a very heartwarming love story of childhood sweethearts.

Zhou Shiyue brushed the hem of his robe and hid his legs.

"Ms. Shen hugged Zhou Shiyue's legs?" Lu Zhaoling asked.

"Impossible." Zhou Shiyue's heart skipped a beat and he immediately said, "I hated the little kid at that time, too."

In particular, he was quite annoying when he was the same age as Zhou Ling and other kids.

"Ayue immediately took two steps back. Everyone was laughing. He was scared by the little girl." said the emperor.

Zhou Shiyue breathed a sigh of relief.

"But the little girl from the Shen family insisted on crawling towards him, and even stretched out her hands and called out."

The emperor thought of that scene and felt it was a bit strange. "Everyone started laughing and said that Ayue was the best-looking little brother. Even the little girl who had just had her first birthday liked him and said that she had chosen Ayue."

"Some people half-jokingly suggested that they should just arrange a marriage for them."

"How dare they ask you to arrange a marriage for me in front of you?" Zhou Shiyue's face turned cold. "How dare they ask you to arrange a marriage for me in front of you?"

The emperor was a little embarrassed, "At that time, the emperor and his subjects were having fun together. I drank too much and was indeed a little easy-going."

"What did you promise?" Zhou Shiyue asked.

"I didn't agree to it directly. I just said that it depends on the children themselves. When they grow up and Ayue wants to choose a prince's consort, I will see if the girl from the Shen family still likes him. If the two of them really like each other, it won't be too late to grant them marriage then."

"Drunk talk, drunk talk, just talk out of the blue in that situation..."

The emperor secretly glanced at Lu Zhaoling's expression.

Lu Zhaoling smiled.

"I heard that you fainted in the ancestral temple before, and it was Shen Xiangjun who saved you, and then you agreed to marry her to Zhou Shiyue."
