Chapter 292 Matchmaking
"So, you must not take it too seriously. There is more to life than just love."
"You and I are in high positions, so we should set our sights higher."
"The world is in turmoil, the court is unstable, and the people are uneasy. This is the time for you and me to fight."
"Men of letters bring peace and stability to the state, establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, carry on the lost knowledge of the ancient sages, and bring peace to the world for all eternity."
"A warrior pacifies troubled times, conquers the battlefield, unites the world, and achieves immortal feats."
“This is what our generation should do.”
"In the face of family and country, the trivialities of the harem and the love between men and women are just icing on the cake."
"My connection with you is more out of admiration, and this admiration will eventually turn into love."
"I allow you to reach new heights and pursue your dreams, whether in the court or on the battlefield. As long as you have the ability, you can do it."
"Don't let yourself get bogged down in trivial matters...you'll only end up hurting yourself and everyone who cares about you."
After hearing this, Gu Mingzhe remained silent for a long time.
After a long while, he held Zhong Ning in his arms with grievance, his voice low and trembling slightly: "But I really like you..."
"I've investigated... Over the past few years, there have been dozens of noble ladies who have confessed their love to you, Master Gu..."
Gu Mingzhe:........
Gu Mingzhe understood Zhong Ning's subtext.
Liking someone is your own business, and you shouldn't expect any response.
If everyone thinks this way, then wouldn't Gu Mingzhe have let down countless women?
Gu Mingzhe's face turned pale and he let go of Zhong Ning imperceptibly.
Zhong Ning sighed slightly, straightened her lost and delicate face, and said solemnly: "I cherish your love very much, and I will not let you down..."
"I will give you three years. During these three years, we are not engaged, but just ordinary lovers. During this period, if you meet a woman you like, you can tell me in time and I will help you."
"If you still want to stay with me after three years... then the engagement will remain as it is..."
"Will Your Highness say the same thing to Master Qi?" Gu Mingzhe felt a little disappointed. He always felt that His Highness seemed to like Qi Yu more.
"Well, I said I would never force anything..."
Zhong Ning lay down again. She had gone to bed too late the previous night and had not yet caught up on her sleep. She had also been entangled with two people for a long time early in the morning and was now mentally exhausted.
"Go ahead! Think carefully about what I said. If you want to quit, it's not too late... I won't force you!"
After Zhong Ning finished speaking, she wrapped herself in the quilt. She had to take care of herself quickly because she was going to the military camp soon. She needed a lot of energy to face it and could not suffer any loss.
Gu Mingzhe stood up and left silently. There were some things he couldn't figure out and needed to figure out carefully. Now, was this really what he wanted?
Gu Mingzhe looked up at the sky, not knowing what to do for a moment.
All his previous confidence collapsed at this moment. He originally thought that as long as he put his heart into it, he could win the prince's affection, but in the end, he was too self-righteous.
Never mind, there are some things he can’t figure out, and he needs time to sort them out.
After he has thought it through, he can come to the princess's mansion again.
Or maybe he was wrong from the beginning.
In Princess Zhaohua's eyes, his sincerity seemed insignificant.
There was not much difference in how he treated himself, Qi Yu, or even Fang Ping.
If this is true, then is this kind of life really what he wants?
.......
Time passed quickly and Lu Xingzhou arrived in the capital.
Zhong Ning specially invited Zhang Wanting to come to his house when he visited.
The two hit it off immediately and felt like they had met too late.
Zhang Wanting thanked Zhong Ning with a blushing face. This Lord Lu was indeed more handsome than the top stars, and he really touched her heart.
She likes it so much!
The key is that he is not often at home and he has no parents.
He is really a perfect match for her. If she wasn't still young, she would have wanted to get him married right away to establish their status.
What a pity... Zhang Wanting looked at her small body that had not yet grown up with hatred and sighed sadly.
She could only look at Lu Xingzhou's piece of meat frequently but couldn't put it in her mouth. It was really uncomfortable. Zhang Wanting's passion successfully made Lu Xingzhou blush.
Zhong Ning was in a good mood after successfully arranging a marriage. However, this good mood disappeared when Murong Huan came to find fault.
"You're the one who caused the trouble, so you're responsible for it yourself!" After saying this, Zhong Ning pulled Zhang Wanting away.
Lu Xingzhou was left to deal with Murong Huan's repeated harassment alone. Although he didn't know what the two of them said, Zhong Ning sighed silently when he heard that Murong Huan finally left the princess's mansion crying.
Zhang Wanting took the opportunity to bring forward her idea of hoarding a large amount of food to support the three cities of Xiyan.
Zhong Ning looked at her with a half-smile, "If I remember correctly, your monthly salary isn't much, is it?"
Zhang Wanting blushed and forced an explanation, "It's the produce from our farm... We have a surplus this year, and I want to do my part to help the people in the disaster area."
"Oh... Then, on behalf of the people in the disaster area, I would like to thank Miss Zhang."
Zhong Ning picked up the teapot and poured tea for her personally. Although Zhang Wanting did not say it explicitly, she probably already understood that Zhang Wanting should have a planting space and produce a lot.
"People in this era are suffering so much... How wonderful it would be if we had potatoes and sweet potatoes..."
"I have it, I have it..." Zhang Wanting blurted out, then belatedly met Zhong Ning's teasing gaze and stammered, "I saw it by chance at a Hu merchant before..."
"If we have these things, the people will be saved. Wanting, you've done a great job!" Zhong Ning didn't mention at all that she had already arranged potato planting. With just these two sentences, she roughly guessed the fact that she had a planting space.
As for Lu Xingzhou, if she guessed correctly, his space should be a military training ground.
After all, he had said before that he was preparing for the game at the training ground before coming here!
Moreover, his research and development of gunpowder cannons was too fast, so Zhong Ning speculated that it was because he already had ready-made things in his space, and even design drawings might exist.
But no matter what happens, as long as it is good for Dayong, there is no need to dig into other people's golden fingers to get to the bottom of it.
It’s okay as long as everyone has an idea of it.
"By the way, I want to ask you a question!" Zhong Ning suddenly said, "If, I mean if, if I found a way to travel back through time and space, would you still want to go back?"
Lu Xingzhou was silent for a moment. It would be great if he could go back, but not now.
Gunpowder is currently in an important research and development stage, and the firearms battalion has not yet been formally built. If we leave now, it will be a huge loss to the country.
And he is the only one who is most suitable to train this military camp at the moment.
Zhang Wanting was also silent. To be honest, apart from the fact that the Marquis's wife was a bit strict with her, it was really comfortable to have someone serving her.
She has always regarded traveling here as a game, a game she is not tired of yet. Even if she wants to go back, she hopes to leave when she is tired of it, so that she will have no regrets.
The two of them briefly explained their idea, and Zhong Ning roughly understood it. Everyone had similar ideas. Even if they wanted to leave, they had to do so after completing the mission.
"I will send Yuesheng to supervise the food you donated, and set up a porridge shop for disaster relief in your name as the eldest daughter of the Pingning Marquis Mansion." Zhong Ning said here, looking at Zhang Wanting.
