She is beautiful and has a better figure, and she was the empress in her previous life. Although she has no chance in this life, it is still a great sense of accomplishment for a time traveler to conquer her.
On the other hand, Sun Simiao admired her character and abilities more, so Chen Jingke was naturally not willing to go against his master easily.
Yes, this is what he really thinks about Wu Zetian, and it is more of a possessive nature. It cannot be said that he has no feelings at all, but it is not that deep yet.
The same situation applies to Zhang Ping. We have only known each other for a few days, so it is too early to start a relationship.
I don't have as much affection for them as the two little maids.
What he really likes is Xiao Sizi. No matter what the reason is at first, the fact is that he is sincerely devoted to Xiao Sizi. As time goes by, the relationship will naturally develop slowly.
Naturally, these words could not be said to Zhang Ping. After thinking for a while, he said: "She appeared earlier."
Zhang Ping curled her lips and said, "Humph, I knew it was like this. If I show up first, I'll get her in one round, but I won't give up."
Chen Jingke advised: "Why bother? Although I always talk about boasting, I still know myself in my heart. I am not a unique good person. There are many people who are better than me in the world."
Zhang Ping said: "What I like is the best. What I don't like is no matter how easy it is. What does it have to do with me?"
Chen Jingke was speechless. At this time, he finally realized another side of this little girl.
Underneath the gentleness and cuteness, there is stubbornness and unwillingness to admit defeat.
If you think back to her previous experiences, you will know that this is normal. After all, she can ignore the opposition of her family and go farming with her husband, climb trees to dig bird's nests, and go down to the river to catch fish and turtles...
How could such a girl be the kind of person who follows the rules?
Moreover, this was still the Tang Dynasty, a time when the atmosphere was very open and women had more individuality.
But although he is not a dedicated good man, he doesn't want to be a scumbag. If he can marry her, he can mess with her at will, but knowing that it's impossible, it's better not to mess with her.
Seeing this, he decided to take some strong medicine: "Master is very satisfied with her and has decided to propose marriage. It is absolutely impossible for the two of us."
Zhang Ping looked up at him and said sadly: "You are so cruel."
Just when Chen Jingke thought it was working, he heard her change the topic and said: "But I'm so happy. I know you don't want to hurt me by saying this. Don't worry, I know what to do."
Chen Jingke had a question mark on his forehead, girl, what are you thinking about? He finally decided to be more straightforward.
"What do you know? She is the one I want to marry, and you can only be a concubine. Will your family agree, and are you willing to be a concubine? Have you ever thought about this?"
Zhang Ping finally couldn't hold it any longer and burst into tears, throwing herself into his arms and hugging him tightly.
"Why are you so cruel? Why are you so cruel? Can't you leave me some thoughts?"
Chen Jingke was also confused. He hugged her subconsciously and stammered: "I...I am doing it for your own good."
Zhang Ping even swallowed: "I don't want you to be good to me, and I don't want you to be good like this... I will identify with you in this life. If you can't marry me, I will wait for you all my life."
Faced with this situation, Chen Jingke didn't know what to do.
After crying for a while, Zhang Ping let him go and said decisively: "I, Zhang Ping, swear to God that I will guard my body like a jade for you for the rest of my life."
After saying that, he turned around and ran out, leaving Chen Jingke at a loss.
She didn't stop until she reached the door, leaning against the wall with her eyes full of sadness and helplessness. She didn't want to take this step if she could.
After a while, she took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, regained her composure, and then returned to the yard where she lived.
She saw Zhang Tongxuan in the pavilion in the courtyard garden. She seemed to have guessed that her father would appear here and walked straight over.
Zhang Tongxuan glanced at her, his eyes paused on her red and swollen eyes, and then said: "Sit down."
Zhang Ping said calmly: "No, I will leave after saying this. I will stay with him for the rest of my life. As for what I can get in exchange, you need to discuss it yourself."
Anger, helplessness, joy and other emotions flashed through Zhang Tongxuan's eyes, and he said: "I've suffered so much for you. If Longhu Mountain can be reborn, you will be the first to contribute."
Zhang Ping said sarcastically: "Really? I just hope you can keep your promise. From now on, I will make my own decisions."
Zhang Tongxuan frowned slightly, not liking the tone of her words, but then he sighed and said: "Go, go. By the way, don't mention this to your brother."
"I know." Zhang Ping replied, turned around and left without looking back.
Zhang Tongxuan frowned at first, but it was soon replaced by joy, Longhu Mountain was finally going to rise again in his own hands.
Zhang Ping returned to her room, lay on the bed and cried silently for a long time.
What girl doesn't have a child, and what girl doesn't have a dream of a husband. Who doesn't want to be together forever?
However, a dream is always a dream. As beautiful as the dream is, the reality is as cruel as it is.
but……
After venting her negative emotions, she stood up and her expression returned to calm, even with a hint of sarcasm.
Everyone is planning for themselves, and so is she.
Compared with being randomly married in exchange for family benefits, this result is not unacceptable. At least Chen Jingke is not bad.
The biggest gain is that she has gained relative freedom from now on. When she returns to Longhu Mountain, no one can interfere with her affairs.
Chen Jingke is far away in Chang'an, and there is nothing he can do even if he wants to do anything. If Zhang Tongxuan wants to make a fuss about her, he must consider Zixiaoguan's attitude.
Except that she cannot marry in public, she can freely arrange her own life, which is what she had dreamed of before.
There must be some reluctance. If she could, she wouldn't want to marry openly. But since this road doesn't work, then she should settle for the next best thing.
It was not Zhang Tongxuan's idea to go to Chen Jingke today, but her own request, in order to gain a certain degree of freedom.
Because she knew very well that after returning, her father would still find a way to marry her to someone else who could help Longhu Mountain.
But could the next marriage partner be as easy to talk to as Chen Jingke? She didn't dare to hold out too much hope.
So after thinking about it, she decided to go this route.
In the worst situation, try to get the best result for yourself. This is what Er Weng taught her since she was a child.
And no matter who looked at it, she was the poor one who was sacrificed, and no one thought that this was the result of her own initiative.
She is still an innocent and gentle lady of the Zhang family who sacrificed her life for her family. When mentioning her, everyone will give a thumbs up and feel pity for her.
She will also be given more understanding and tolerance for some of her outrageous actions.
For example, when farming, no one will think that she is deviant regardless of her status, but will think that it is a helpless way of self-liberation.
They are all women from powerful noble families, so who has not yet started to be careful and calculating?
