After crossing, I was miserable.

Chapter 326 Talking All Night

"Ahem..." Chu Yan really didn't expect it to be so late.

In fact, the old emperor was a bad person. He had obviously released him from confinement a long time ago, but he did it on purpose. He asked him to accompany him for meals, and then kept him to play chess under the pretext of cultivating the father-son relationship, as if he wanted to see him make a fool of himself so that he would not be fooled.

Of course, after completing this series of processes, he knew it would be late, so he asked Bai Ningchuan to pass on the message.

I came here right after I finished, but I overlooked how late it was.

"Okay, Miss Chu, sorry to bother you, let's talk about it tomorrow." After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave.

"Hey, wait, since you came to see me so late, it means you must have something important to tell me. Anyway, I'm awake, so let's talk about it today.

But where are you going to take me to talk?"

Chu Yan didn't react to what she meant for a moment.

"You don't want to talk to me in my room late at night, do you?

Although I believe you, there are differences between men and women after all!

Besides, it’s not realistic to go to the study now. When my two brothers wake up and see you here, you’ll be in trouble.

They all love me very much and will definitely not let me suffer any injustice. So..." She frowned slightly and looked at him with some concern.

"What do you think, young lady?"

"Let's go to the bell tower. I haven't been there yet. It's nice to take in the scenery there, and no one will disturb me."

"Okay, let's do as the girl says."

So Qian Duoduo successfully reached the bell tower under the protection of Chu Yan's female secret guard.

"Wow~ so beautiful!"

The so-called bell tower is the iconic building of the capital of the Chu State. It is the tallest building outside the imperial city and was a wall used for observation in the previous dynasty.

However, with the passage of time and wars, the area of ​​the capital city continued to expand, and it gradually collapsed and disintegrated. Later, in order to warn future generations, the royal family rebuilt it as a landmark construction.

If it were in modern times, it would be a standard check-in spot.

Standing here, you feel like you are above the clouds, overlooking the magnificent scenery of the entire Kyoto city. This prosperous city is full of vitality and vigor, and every corner exudes unique charm.

Especially during festivals, the whole city is decorated to be particularly lively and festive.

The streets and alleys are decorated with bright lights, people are immersed in the joyful atmosphere, and laughter and joy are heard one after another.

The tall buildings in the distance and the flashing lights create a dazzling night scene.

The streets are crowded with people and cars, showing the busyness and bustle of the city.

Qian Duoduo has always wanted to experience it, but unfortunately it is usually heavily guarded and only open during festivals.

But there were so many people at the festival that she couldn't squeeze in, so she never had the chance.

Now that I have a ready-made boss with connections, I can naturally go up to him whenever I want, especially at night.

“How beautiful!”

Chu Yan frowned slightly, looking at the darkness below, with only a few lanterns hanging in front of the inns.

Of course, there are also lively areas.

Is that where she is looking?

Chu Yan didn't have the courage to ask.

Qian Duoduo was actually a little embarrassed. She had imagined that she could see the bustling and prosperous scene, but she ignored the current time. It was already curfew and it was not a holiday.

It’s not like modern times, where ordinary nights are brightly lit.

But the air here is actually really good.

So, after Qian Duoduo took several deep breaths of air, he uttered this sigh.

No matter how embarrassed you are inside, you appear to be the same on the surface.

Anyway, I'm the only one who's not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.

"Mr. Chu, what do you think of the marriage?"

Qian Duoduo was not sure whether Chu Yan had already known about their sudden engagement.

But since she knew everything, she felt that Chu Yan must know it too.

I guess this time he just wanted to test the waters.

Qian Duoduo didn't give any prefix at all and asked directly.

"Marriage?" Chu Yan was stunned and repeated the word unconsciously, with a hint of doubt and surprise in his eyes.

I wondered if she also knew that they were engaged, but I was surprised that she asked me this question directly.

He never thought he would be involved in something like this.

Marriage has always been a distant and unfamiliar topic to him, and he has never seriously considered it.

However, now, these two words appeared in front of him so suddenly that he was a little at a loss.

In fact, the marriage of children from noble families is often regarded as an important political and social strategy.

Through marriage, one can strengthen family ties, consolidate spheres of influence, and gain more resources and support.

This kind of marriage is not limited to royal aristocrats, but also includes people from all walks of life.

For the royal family, marriage is an even more crucial means.

These marriages not only involve personal happiness, but also concern the interests and stability of the country.

The marriages of the princes were also full of political colors and exchanges of interests.

The princes’ marriage partners are usually princesses from other countries or daughters of noble families.

However, for the princes, such a marriage might mean the loss of freedom and love.

Of course, for ambitious princes, if maximizing benefits is what they care about, love does not exist at all.

The reason why Chu Yan didn't care was because he had other things he wanted to do more.

He didn't want to be trapped, and likewise, he didn't want his chosen wife to be trapped.

But faced with Qian Duoduo's questioning, he suddenly didn't want to tell the truth anymore.

In other words, he began to look forward to marriage.

“Marriage is a union between two sexes and a contractual relationship based on mutual respect, understanding and support.

It is not just a matter between two people, but a union of two families.

Therefore, when choosing a partner, we need to consider carefully to ensure that the other person can support each other and walk through the journey of life together."

"You don't reject it?"

"What do you mean?"

"Oh, I see you are not interested in women. You are still unmarried at such an old age. I thought you were against marriage. Or are you just waiting for an arranged marriage? In other words, it doesn't matter whether you marry or not, and it doesn't matter who you marry?"

Although it is early summer, the evening breeze is still a little cool, gently blowing across the face, making people feel comfortable and relaxed, but at the same time there is also a hint of cool breeze.

Qian Duoduo did not hear Chu Yan's answer. She was not in a hurry. She just kept rubbing her arms. She greedily enjoyed the refreshing feeling brought by the summer breeze, but her body felt a little unbearable.

Tsk tsk tsk, I suddenly felt that I was a little spoiled, thinking about Qian Duoduo inappropriately.
