Although Fu Junlan didn't know much about war, she had heard of the war where millions of soldiers faced off against each other. What kind of scene was that?
Millions of soldiers couldn't save a weak woman, but only one person was willing to go. Fu Junlan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. "He's really a great man!" She then asked, "He's willing to die for Junzhu. Does that mean he's also in love with Junzhu?"
Shang Shuqing was a little embarrassed when he insisted on talking about love but he was honest with him and did not hide anything from him, "If we really love each other, how would Qing-er dare to say the word 'innocent' in front of Young Master Fu? Daoye saved me because of his character. It has nothing to do with love! Does Young Master Fu know why I left the words' Peach Blossom Immortal 'on the tombstone? "
Fu Junlan was puzzled. "It's not Daoye?"
"The Peach Blossom Temple in the Peach Blossom Cove, and the Peach Blossom Immortal in the Peach Blossom Temple. The Peach Blossom Immortal planted peach trees, and plucked peach blossoms in exchange for wine money … "Shang Shuqing suddenly recited a poem, and then she laughed and said," This is the poem I heard the Taoist master recited when I first met him on the mountain. He called himself the Peach Blossom Immortal. "
"Oh!" Fu Junlan suddenly understood. "So that's how the title of Peach Blossom Immortal came about. No wonder the inscription on the tombstone."
"The Fu Family was implicated and King Ning's Mansion suffered a disaster in the capital city. Young Master, you should know about this. After I escaped from the capital city, I passed by the Shangqing Sect. Because the Shanghai Sect has a good relationship with my father, I went to the Shanghai Sect to ask for help. However, due to the fickleness of the world, he was unable to invite anyone but Daoye to come down the mountain. Daoye did not have any relationship with my family and did not want to get involved. He wanted to leave but I managed to persuade him to stay … "Shang Shuqing narrated his experiences of more than ten years.
What could be said was said and what could not be said was left out. Even if he left out a lot of things, it was enough to shock a person like Fu Junlan. She knew that it was not easy for Shang Chaozong to rise to power. It was not something that could be built by just being good at war. She did not know how many things were involved.
Even if he left out some things, in fact, there were some things that Fu Junlan did not need to know. However, Shang Shuqing did not want to lie to her.
When the experiences of more than ten years were condensed into a long talk, Fu Junlan finally knew what Niu Youdao meant to Shang Chaozong and to Shang Shuqing.
She sighed with emotion, "A young man who is not even twenty years old and has shown great strategies and tricks. He has the guts of a hero and has a high cultivation base. He dares to fight against strong enemies and is proficient in the four instruments, chess, calligraphy and painting as well as poetry. He is talented and handsome. He can roam the world while talking and laughing. There is actually such an extraordinary person in the world. He is truly a gifted genius! I thought he was just a powerful sorcerer to scare the enemy. Now I know that I am older than him … Hehe. Compared to such a person, I have lived in vain for so many years. "
"Such an extraordinary man. No wonder the princess fell in love with him. Previously I still had some thoughts that since the person had passed away, perhaps I could replace him in the princess's heart. But now I know that this Daoye is a person that Fu Junlan would never be able to catch up to. What capabilities do I have to have such wishful thinking? "
Shang Shuqing quickly said, "Young Master Fu, Qing 'er is only telling the truth …"
Fu Junlan raised his hand to interrupt, "Princess need not be anxious. This one only thinks that it is indeed a pity for such a person to die!" He turned back and smiled, "Princess might not know about it. A few days ago, Mister Lan looked for me and asked me to propose marriage as soon as possible. But now …" He shook his head.
Shang Shuqing said awkwardly, "Young Master Fu, Qing 'er has no other intention."
Fu Junlan said, "Even though I am not talented, I can see that if it was not because of family's coercion, princess would not have the intention to marry outside. I just want to ask princess, if there was no family's coercion, would princess be willing to marry me sincerely? "
Shang Shuqing kept silent as she could not say anything that was against her heart.
Fu Junlan smiled and it was a brilliant smile. Her whole person seemed to be free and easy, "Actually, I am suddenly relaxed now. Princess might not know about it but every time I enter the Prince's residence, I would see a forest of guards and be stared at by a pair of eyes. It really makes my heart tremble with fear as I am afraid of doing something wrong. The questions and answers are very tight. There are too many rules and every trip is very tiring. The gap between the Fu family and the Prince's residence is really too big. "
"After the disaster, the Fu family was unable to recover. Later I heard that the Prince raised his army in the Southern State and was invincible. He occupied the Southern State and his momentum was like the sun in the sky. Thus the entire Fu family moved here and the hardships along the way are not enough to tell outsiders. When they arrived in the Southern State, the whole family was perturbed. Fortunately, the Prince still remembered the old affection and gave a business to the Fu family. Only then did the Fu family gradually recover. The reason why he ordered me to discuss marriage with princess is because the Fu family had suffered a lot. The Fu family knew very well what would happen without the protection of power in this chaotic world. "
"When I return this time, I really do not know how to explain to my family. It might be easy to handle with my family but outsiders do not know. "
"Outsiders all think that the marriage between princess and I will definitely be successful. Now there are even many local officials who have started to take the initiative to visit the Fu family. Once I reject the marriage, outsiders will naturally think that I have offended the Prince. At that time, I do not know how many people will find trouble with the Fu family. If princess rejects the marriage, why would she reject the marriage for no reason? Outsiders will also think that the Fu family has made the Prince's residence unhappy and there will also be trouble. Ai, it is really a headache. "
Speaking to this point, Shang Shuqing understood his meaning. Through this matter, she also understood herself. The other's attitude also made her feel enlightened. She did not say anything else and bluntly said, "Qing 'er understands Young Master Fu's difficulties. Young Master Fu can rest assured that I will explain this matter clearly to the family. It is not related to Young Master and I will ask Mister Lan to take care of it. No one in the Southern State will make things difficult for the Fu family. In the future if the Fu family has any difficulties, feel free to look for me. As long as I can help, Qing 'er will do my best. "
Fu Junlan said seriously, "Jun Lan's complaint is not because I do not want to propose but I hope that princess will understand that Jun Lan has no choice but to propose."
"…" Shang Shuqing choked and was speechless.
Fu Junlan suddenly smiled, "What a joke! Jun Lan only wants to know if Jun Lan retreats in the face of difficulties, will princess still marry someone else? If yes, Jun Lan will stand firm and not retreat. If not, Jun Lan will not dare to blaspheme! "
Shang Shuqing smiled and said firmly, "It is like a dream. Not marrying!"
"Ai!" Fu Junlan covered her face with both hands, "My family is looking forward to it. When I go back, I am afraid that I will be scolded to death!"
Shang Shuqing smiled, "That day in the garden, there were so many men. Qing 'er was able to pick Young Master with one glance. A gentleman is like an orchid. Qing' er did not make a wrong judgment. If I break my promise to remarry, I will choose Young Master!"
"Princess really smiled. It seems that I have finally completed the task that Princess gave me." Fu Junlan sighed.
Shang Shuqing was puzzled, "Task?"
Fu Junlan looked around and whispered, "Fearing that you will take things too hard, Princess asked me to enlighten you. Getting the painting for Young Master Wang is just an excuse!" She pointed at the painting on the table and went forward to pick it up, "Princess, it is not appropriate to give this painting to Young Master Wang. How about giving it to Jun Lan as a souvenir?"
Shang Shuqing said, "If Young Master Fu does not mind, Qing 'er is willing to give it to you."
Fu Junlan waved her hand, "Ai, I don't mind, I don't mind. How can I mind? Because of this painting, my marriage was ruined. If I take this painting, it is not too much for Princess to owe me a favor, right? In the future, if the Fu Family needs help, I will bring this painting to ask for Princess to return the favor. What do you think? "
Shang Shuqing nodded with a smile, "Alright! It is a deal! "
"Then I will take my leave." Fu Junlan bowed and folded the painting in his hand as he walked. When Shang Shuqing saw him off, he waved his hand and said, "No need, no need, no need to send me off. I am familiar with the road."
However, Shang Shuqing still personally sent him to the door of the small courtyard and watched him leave.
Unfortunately, before Fu Junlan left the Prince's Mansion, he met Lan Ruoting.
"Young Master Fu." Lan Ruoting hurriedly waved his hand and asked his attendants to leave. He asked in a low voice, "About the marriage proposal, how is the preparation of your mansion?"
"You will know later, Mr. Lan!" Fu Junlan said and bowed with a calm smile. He ignored the tight security of the Prince's Mansion and swaggered away.
"Eh …" Lan Ruoting turned around and watched her leave. He stroked his beard and pondered. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he found that Fu Junlan suddenly became much more free and easy. He didn't know why she changed so quickly.
After leaving the gate of the Prince's Mansion, Fu Junlan looked back and then at the folded painting in his hand. He smiled bitterly and said to himself, "I will be scolded to death when I go back. I hope this deal is worth it!"
The servant who drove the carriage suddenly came forward and asked, "Young Master, what kind of deal?"
"A big deal!" Fu Junlan knocked his head and waved her hand, shouting, "Go back!"
In the Prince's Mansion, Shang Chaozong and others were shocked to see Shang Shuqing standing calmly in front of them.
Shang Shuqing had gathered all of them and directly stated that she was not going to marry!
Meng Shanming, who was sitting in the wheelchair, raised his hand and smiled while stroking his beard. In his opinion, this was the best result. No matter whether the truth behind Niu Youdao's death would be revealed in the future, this girl would not have any regrets.
Shang Chaozong was sad and indignant. What did he say? Sure enough, the news of Daoye's death caused a change …
Shang Shuqing's attitude was very firm. This time, it was useless to say anything. After going through this incident, his heart was happy and calm. He would not be forced into a dilemma again.
Indeed, because of this incident, since his sister had made up her mind, Shang Chaozong did not force her. After all, Meng Shanming's words had touched him.
But such a young lady, why did she not marry?
Shang Shuqing indeed wanted to find something to do. He didn't want to stay idle in the Prince's Mansion anymore. He wanted to open a school next to the Prince's Mansion and teach the poor children for free. He wanted to put his knowledge to use.
In this regard, no one in the Prince's Mansion objected. After all, it would help the Prince's Mansion gain some good reputation.
From then on, besides teaching the children, when Shang Shuqing was in a good mood, he would go out of the city and meditate for a while beside the tombstone with the words "Peach Blossom Immortal" engraved on it …
"Not marrying?" In the pavilion, Niu Youdao was stunned and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Yun Ji, who was leaning against the window, looked at Niu Youdao's awkward expression with a hint of playfulness.
"Yes! Shang Shuqing rejected the marriage. He is determined not to marry again! " Guan Fangyi was very sure. She sneered and said, "Look at what you have done. You can't control your own mouth. Once you open your mouth, you ruined a person's life. Can you bear this responsibility? Aren't you ashamed? "
Niu Youdao was not convinced. "This is something that everyone knows. If they want to hide it, can they hide it? How can you blame me for this? "
