Chapter 697 I liked it at first sight
Princess Nishang's generosity made Chu Yan feel a little embarrassed at this moment. He felt that his previous behavior seemed a bit stingy.
Just as she was thinking about how to respond to Princess Nishang's words, she heard the other party say again: "Senior Brother Chu, have you ever thought about why I should choose you?"
"It's a little bit." Chu Yan smiled, "I wonder if junior sister is willing to explain it."
At this time, there were only two of them behind the gauze curtain, and there was no need to worry about being eavesdropped on the conversation, so Chu Yan naturally used the names the monks used to call each other.
Princess Nishang pursed her lips and smiled, looking innocent and a little playful.
"Senior brother, what I just said was our first meeting, but I didn't say that this was the first time I heard about senior brother."
"Have you heard about my performance in the state religion election?" Chu Yan blinked.
If that were the case, it would make sense.
Chu Yan also understood that his performance in this national election can definitely be described as incredible and stunning.
The princess had heard about her performance beforehand, so she had a good heart and it was normal.
But Princess Nishang smiled and shook her head, denying Chu Yan's answer.
"What is that?" Chu Yanhao said.
"To be specific, it was yesterday." Princess Nishang said with a smile, "One of my maids overheard my senior brother saying that he had his own heart, so the princess would definitely not look at him. After hearing about this, I
I had a good heart and couldn't help but remember senior brother."
After hearing this, Chu Yan suddenly understood that what he and Pu Yangyi said in the teahouse yesterday was actually heard by the princess's maid, and even reached the princess's ears.
But the next moment, Chu Yan's brows wrinkled.
"You know that I already have someone else in my heart, but you still choose me in public. Is this intentional?"
As soon as he thought of this, the good impression Chu Yan had for Palace Master Nishang disappeared in an instant, and his tone became colder.
Sensing Chu Yan's instant sense of alienation from him, Palace Master Nishang's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes showed an unexpected look of panic, as if he was a frightened deer.
The next moment, she shook her head hurriedly and explained: "Senior brother, please don't get me wrong, I definitely didn't mean that."
Chu Yan glanced at her lightly, but didn't answer.
At this time, Princess Nishang's eyes were filled with mist.
She bit her lip and clenched her long-sleeved fists tightly, as if she was making a difficult decision.
After a while, Princess Nishang took a deep breath and seemed to have made up her mind.
She raised her head and looked at Chu Yan with clear eyes: "Senior Brother, I didn't want to say these words originally, but in order to prevent Senior Brother from misunderstanding and then hating me, I am shameless and have to tell Senior Brother today."
After a pause, Princess Nishang continued: "This so-called selection of a princess's son-in-law is actually of far greater significance to my father and the entire Yun Ao Kingdom than the princess's feelings. Senior brother, do you admit this?"
.”
"That's true." Chu Yan nodded.
He knew this very well. In fact, for monks, there was no essential difference between the so-called Yun Ao Jiang Kingdom and Tang Jiang Kingdom.
As long as you, the royal family, govern the country stably and can continuously provide talents to the sect, then you are a good royal family.
In other words, as long as the sect is willing, they can find a replacement at any time to replace the royal family of Yun Ao Jiang Kingdom.
But now, a princess has the support of a real person and has a marriage relationship with a sect in the territory. The royal family's position as the king of this country is undoubtedly much more stable than that of the royal family in other territories.
Princess Nishang continued: "To be honest with you, senior brother, when I heard about this incident, I was very resistant. For this reason, I even escaped from the imperial city and hid in Tianxuan Palace. I didn't return until yesterday. When I got here, I decided to accept the arrangement of my father and mother."
When Princess Nishang said these words, she kept looking into Chu Yan's eyes.
"And the reason for all this is because of your appearance, senior brother." When she said this, Princess Nishang's cheeks turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
First it was on the cheeks, then the blush continued to spread, and after a while, even the earlobes turned light pink.
At this time, Princess Nishang was still looking at Chu Yan. It could be seen that she was a little panicked at the moment, but at the same time she was shy and had the courage to work hard.
For some reason, when he saw Princess Nishang trying to hold up her chest and unwilling to admit defeat, Chu Yan's heart overlapped with that of another figure who was stubborn and refused to admit defeat.
However, Princess Nishang didn't know what Chu Yan was thinking at this moment. She just felt her heart beating faster and faster.
"The only right I have in this political marriage is that I can choose one of the four people. If that's the case, why can't I choose the one I like the most?"
After saying these words, Princess Nishang seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and her legs felt slightly weak.
"Favorite?" Chu Yan looked at him in surprise.
He didn't expect that Yun Nishang chose him for such a reason.
A little bold, a little straightforward, but also the most sincere. Those reasons that make great sense are much more convincing.
"Yes, at first sight, I feel that Senior Brother Chu is a person worthy of trust and reliance." Although her heart is beating faster and faster now, making her head feel slightly dizzy, Yun Nishang still looks at Chu Yan. .
She said seriously: "Although I have not yet embarked on the road to immortality, I also understand that the road to immortality is long. No one can tell what changes will happen in the future. Senior Brother Chu may think that I am abrupt now, or even say nothing." It makes sense, but can Senior Brother Chu guarantee that there will be no place where I can help in the future?"
Chu Yan did not answer Yun Nishang immediately, but looked at the stubborn little girl at this moment.
At fifteen years old, she is three or four years younger. She looks like a little sister who is unwilling to bow to her fate.
"Originally, according to my father's wishes, he was not willing to let us meet immediately after appointing the candidate, but I insisted on meeting, and I needed such a separate environment to explain my thoughts to you, senior brother, because I felt There should be an explanation.”
Yun Nishang looked at Chu Yan, her expression at this moment was without seriousness: "Senior Brother Chu, I can swear that I will not have any restrictions on your words and deeds in the future. I can't do it, and I am not qualified to do it.
I chose Senior Brother Chu this time. I know it caused trouble to Senior Brother Chu, but for me, I don’t regret it. I just hope that Senior Brother can understand me. This is the first time I have feelings for a person of the opposite sex.
After tonight, I will leave Yun Ao Jiang Country and go to Baoxiang Country. I am afraid that we will not see each other again for many years to come.
But no matter what, I will definitely repay you for the trouble I have caused to Senior Brother Chu this time.
