Chapter 136 Gods and Demons [2]
"Your Majesty wants us to participate in the draft? No, it's a competition to select a son-in-law?" Zhang Cen was a little confused when he received the order, "Brother Fan, is this compulsory?"
"Your Majesty said that all men of the right age in the capital, as long as they are not married, must go to participate." Fan Ziming's sources of information are wider than Zhang Cen's, "Brother Zhang, you and I are both people who need to participate. For the princess, it is the glory of the body."
"What is the specific competition for this competition?" Zhang Cen asked, a dangerous idea appeared in his head.For her, the selection of the son-in-law was dangerous, but there were also many opportunities in it.
After all, the people who held the competition this time were His Majesty and the eldest princess. If he performed well in it, the possibility of being reused would be even higher.Of course, she can't do things like winning the championship. It's enough to hide her strength and be second or third.
Zhang Cen's plan was very good. At the beginning of the game, everything went as she expected.
As the number one scholar in Jinke, Zhang Cen's knowledge is the best among her peers. In Wendou, she almost crushed everyone.When it came to the riding and archery competition, because this was not something she was good at, all Zhang Cen did his best, and finally got a middle level.
The preparation took a month, but the competition time was very short. After three days, the final ten winners came out.Both Fan Ziming and Zhang Cen managed to squeeze into the top ten, one ranked ninth and the other eighth.
The topic of the last level was posed by Luo Xu himself. Looking at the ten talented and beautiful people in front of him, Luo Xu's mood improved a lot.No wonder the father has so many concubines. Seeing more of those beautiful people will indeed make you feel happy physically and mentally.
After seeing the appearance of the eldest princess at close range, Zhang Cen was also in a daze for a while. The eldest princess is so beautiful, more beautiful than any woman she has ever seen.
When the other nine people bowed their hands and saluted, Zhang Cen realized that he bowed his head immediately.
"Are you all willing to participate in the competition?" Luo Xu asked.
"Of course, we all admire the eldest princess, that's why we have the cheek to ask for her." Fan Ziming was clever this time, and immediately expressed his favor, "I don't know if I will be lucky enough to be favored by Your Highness."
Luo Xu listened with a smile on her face, her eyes glanced over the nine people present, and finally her eyes fell on Zhang Cen.
Just this morning, the life experiences of these ten people were sent to her table in their original form.These people are already teenagers who have reached the crown. Although most of them are not married, there are quite a few who have been to brothels and have intercourse.
The only one among them who is relatively clean is Zhang Cen, who was born in a poor family and was admitted to the number one scholar by his own ability.
Luo Xu thought for a while, and then asked another question, "If I want something from you, what will you give me?"
Is this a test of my sincerity?The ten people present thought for a while, and soon answered.
"Your Highness, I am willing to give you my heart."
"The minister is willing to give all the money on his body to His Majesty."
"This official has nothing to show for it, but this official is willing to follow His Highness' lead."
Luo Xu smiled and said nothing, and waited until all nine people had spoken before looking at Zhang Cen, "Zhang Zhuangyuan, what will you do?"
Zhang Cen thought for a while, "I am willing to paint for Your Highness."
"Painting?" Luo Xu raised her eyebrows, "A painting is what you want to give Ben Gong the most?"
"Your Highness, what I mean is that I am willing to spend my whole life painting for you." It was the last moment, so Zhang Cen naturally had to restrain himself.After all, she is a daughter, a princess or something, she cannot be provoked.
So I deliberately chose a flashy thing, painting or something, according to the identity of the eldest princess, I am afraid that all painters in the world are willing to serve the eldest princess.
"Zhang Cen, are you telling the truth?" Luo Xu had read Zhang Cen's information, and after discovering something wrong in it, she asked Luo You specifically.
Luo You smiled and answered her at the time, Sister Huang, Zhang Cen meets all your requirements for a son-in-law. As long as you like it, why can't she be your son-in-law.
"Everything I said is true." After hearing Luo Xu's question, Zhang Cen had a bad feeling in his heart.Is it possible that the princess likes the way she shows herself, if she is pragmatic, she can only write poems and draw pictures?
"Then I ask you, are you willing to be my concubine?" After being seduced by Luo You, Luo Xu's belated rebellious period has arrived.
Luo Xu has always kept in mind what Luo You said, she is the only elder sister of the emperor in this world, as the second only to the emperor, why can't she live as long as she wants.
"Chen..." I was really worried about something, Zhang Cen's heart tightened, if she dared to say something she didn't want at this time, she would probably be rejected by His Majesty.
But if she said she was willing, until her identity was exposed, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor, and she would still have her head beheaded.
It was still a miscalculation. I didn't expect that the eldest princess would really fall in love with her.Obviously, among these people, some are more beautiful than her, and some are better at riding and shooting than her.
"My lord, thank you for your appreciation." Zhang Cen saluted Luo Xu.
Logically speaking, the lesser of two evils, I should choose to refuse.But Zhang Cen didn't know whether he was dazzled by the eldest princess's beauty, or he was too anxious to climb up, so he agreed immediately.
Seeing that Zhang Cen agreed, the smile on Luo Xu's face deepened. Maybe this different Zhang Cen will bring her many surprises in the future.
"Sister Huang, have you taken a fancy to Zhang Cen?" Luo You was a little surprised by this result. Luo Xu was born and bred in the local area, so why did she accept such a thing so easily.
"Sister Huang, you should know Zhang Cen's identity. You asked me this morning." Luo You said, finishing the last stroke of the painting with a brush.
"Didn't your majesty say that Zhang Cen meets the expectations of a son-in-law?" Luo Xu was very calm, "And I don't like my son-in-law being used by others. Among the ten people, the only one who is clean is Zhang. Cen?"
"That's true." Luo You put down the brush on his hand, washed his hand in the basin, and let Manager Li dry it with a handkerchief.
"Sister Huang, if you are sure that you don't regret it, I will immediately ask Qin Tianjian to match her horoscope and issue a marriage decree." Luo You said.
Luo Xu hesitated for a moment, and once again compared Zhang Cen with the son-in-law in her mind. Except for gender, Zhang Cen met every point of her requirements for a son-in-law.
"I don't regret it, His Majesty bestowed the marriage on me." Luo Xu confirmed her choice.
Three days later, Luo You personally wrote the imperial decree, raising Zhang Cen's official position to the fifth rank, and married the eldest princess three months later.
"Isn't this the same as Zhang Cen cheating the eldest princess?" After listening to Luo You's retelling, Shi Buyu had doubts on his brows.
"Because it's not cheating, after all, sister Huang knows that Zhang Cen is a woman." Luo You stretched out her hand, stroked her ever-changing eyebrows, and smoothed the small creases between her eyebrows, "Think about it from another angle, Zhang Cen Cen will probably have trouble sleeping and eating in the next three months, which is punishment in disguise."
"What about you, have you ever lied to me?" Shi Buyi looked at Luo You.
Luo You blinked, and said with a serious face, "Of course I wouldn't lie to you, on the contrary, you have lied to me many times before."
"Did I deceive you before? Am I a liar?" Shi Buyi asked doubtfully.
"Of course, you have been lying to me for a long time. If it weren't for my cleverness, you might have been lying to me for the rest of your life." There was a trace of seriousness in Luo You's words.
After hearing that he had lied to others, Shi Buyu felt a little embarrassed, "Then, I apologize to you instead of mine before, I'm sorry."
"It's okay, you've been punished anyway." Just like now, it's very easy to deceive someone who is ignorant of some things.The only thing that makes Luo You dissatisfied is that Shi Buyi seems to have forgotten all the things about intimacy, which makes Luo You a little difficult to deal with.
Shi Buyu was a little curious, "Can you tell me what the punishment is?"
"Do you really want to know? That punishment is a lifetime thing. If you know it, it means you will accept the punishment." Luoyou said with a smile, thinking of a good way.
Shi Buyu hesitated for a while, "Let's say, I used to be me, even if I don't remember now, those responsibilities are all mine."
"Sure?"
"Sure!" Shi Buyi nodded.
"Okay, it's actually not a big deal, you just promised to listen to me every night." Luo You opened her eyes and said nonsense more and more.If it were the invariance of the past, perhaps it could be seen through at a glance.
But it's different now, although Shi Buyu felt that she would not agree to such a thing, but since the request was made by Luo You, she had no intention of objecting.
"Time does not change, this is what you asked me to say~" Luo You licked the corner of his mouth as he spoke, it really didn't feel good to be able to see or not to eat.If I took the initiative to be persistent, I would feel a little bit helpless against her innocent face, but it is different now, if I was proactive, then there would be no sense of guilt.
"Yes, I will listen to it tonight." Shi Buyi agreed, and her intuition told her that something different would happen tonight.It might be dangerous, but it's definitely not life-threatening.
"Okay, then it depends on your performance at night." Luo You couldn't help touching Shi Buchang's face, and whispered in her ear, "Shi Buchang, you must listen to me when the time comes. "
"Naturally, I'm not someone who breaks promises." Shi Buyi gave a very firm answer, as if he had great confidence in himself.
