Upon hearing this, Xu Da frowned, and his expression darkened.
As a general, he hated cowards the most.
But now, this cowardly person would be his son-in-law in the future.
Xu Da couldn't take it anymore and flew into a rage on the spot.
He stood up and glared at Zhu Zhen, shouting,
"Your Highness Chu, a good man's ambition is to travel far and wide. A real man should be loyal to the country and die.”
"Still young? Is that a reason?"
"His Highness King Chu is taller and stronger than most soldiers when he stands up.”
"You said you were still young?"
"Other soldiers go to the battlefield at the age of fifteen, sacrificing their lives for the country and their families. As a prince, you're actually like a woman and child, hiding at home and coveting comfort. Don't you feel ashamed?”
Xu Da's voice was like a great bell, like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, shaking people's ears until they hurt.
His anger carried the killing intent of a general who had been through many battles. It was like a hurricane in the desert, sweeping up the sand and wanting to mercilessly swallow Zhu Zhen.
His subordinates had once controlled the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. They carried a terrifying aura. Ordinary people would probably be scared out of their wits if they faced this kind of pressure.
Even Crown Prince Zhu Biao was shocked. He wondered why Uncle Xu was so angry.
Sixth Brother is a bookworm. Don't be scared into a fool by you!
In the backyard of the Xu Manor.
Xu Miaoyun's boudoir.
Xu Miaoyun, who was wearing a light green dress, was pacing around the room anxiously.
Today was the big day to decide her marriage, so she couldn't help but be nervous.
With her intelligence, she knew that marriage with the Emperor's family was a foregone conclusion.
The only variable was which prince he would marry. Was it the fourth prince Zhu Di or the sixth prince Zhu Zhen?
If she had to choose, she would naturally choose the sixth prince, Zhu Zhen. She had already told her father about this idea.
However, before everything was decided, there would be changes.
At this moment, a childish voice sounded.
"Big sister, it's bad. The sixth prince is here.”Xu Miaojin rushed in.
Xu Doudou followed closely behind.
Xu Miaoyun grabbed her little sister and said gently,""Little sister, speak slowly."
Xu Miaojin blinked her big eyes." Eldest Sister, the Sixth Prince and the Crown Prince came to our house. Father personally went to the door to welcome them in.”
"Prince Six is still staring at me, as if he still remembers that I took two pieces of soap from him.”
"Big sister, do you think the sixth prince will ask me to go back?”
Xu Miaojin felt a little guilty.
Xu Miaoyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This girl was always thinking about unnecessary things.
"You mean there are only the Sixth Prince and the Crown Prince? What about the Fourth Prince? He didn't come?"
"I haven't seen the Fourth Prince."”
Xu Miaoyun was a little surprised, but she was immediately delighted. It was best that Fourth Prince Zhu Di did not come.
If that was the case, no one would be able to compete with the sixth prince, Zhu Zhen.
After a while, his younger brother, Xu Yungong, walked in angrily.
"Eldest Sister, the Fourth Prince Zhu Di slipped out of the palace and escaped from the wedding.”
"He actually doesn't like you. He's really blind.”
"With his mischievous reputation, I don't think I'll take a fancy to him!”
Xu Yungong felt embarrassed and felt indignant for his elder sister.
However, Xu Miaoyun was even happier when she heard this news.
The Fourth Prince took the initiative to run away from the marriage. Father can't possibly let me marry him again, right?
He should be able to rest assured now.
"Yungong, continue to keep an eye on the situation and report back to me at any time.”
Not long after Xu Yungong left, his second brother, Xu Zengshou, ran in quickly.
"Big sister, bad news. Father has decided to betroth you to the bookworm sixth prince Zhu Zhen.”
"Big brother said that the sixth prince is a fool and is not even as good as the fourth prince Zhu Di!”
Clearly, the Xu brothers had known Zhu Zhen as a bookworm for a long time.
He didn't think highly of him.
Xu Miaoyun's worried heart finally relaxed.
Alright, the dust had finally settled. When he turned back, he could rightfully pull Zhu Zhen's ears!
Thinking of this, Xu Miaoyun's pretty face unconsciously blushed.
"What do you know?”
Xu Zengshou didn't expect his eldest sister to speak up for the Sixth Prince so quickly. He was very unhappy. He curled his lips and argued,"Big sister, he's really dumb. Just now, father said that he wanted to bring him to the north, but he actually said that he's too young and doesn't dare to go.”
"It made Father angry."
"You see, you don't dare to go to the battlefield and can't even find a decent reason. If you're not a fool, then what are you?”
"In my opinion, he is not only a bookworm, but also a coward.”
Xu Miaojin raised her small hand." Second Brother is right. The Sixth Prince is indeed a coward, hehe!”
In the little girl's eyes, the Sixth Prince Zhu Zhen was so scared by her words that he obediently took out two pieces of soap. If he wasn't a coward, then what was he?
"However, Prince Six is not a bookworm. He is very good at fooling people.”
Thinking of how Zhu Zhen fooled those merchants, the little girl tilted her head and said.
Xu Doudou, who had been silent all this while, tugged at the corner of Xu Miaojin's clothes." Benefactor is not a coward.”
Xu Doudou was Little Beansprout.
Zhu Zhen had helped her beat up the boss of the bun shop who bullied her last time and had also treated her to two buns.
Therefore, in Little Beansprout's heart, Zhu Zhen was her benefactor and definitely not a coward.
Even though she was now called Xu Doudou by the Eldest Miss and was a servant girl of the Xu family.
She also stood firmly on Zhu Zhen's side.
Seeing Xu Doudou refute her, Xu Miaojin was unwilling.
" The Sixth Prince is a coward."
"Benefactor is not a coward!" Xu Doudou said.”
"Yes, he is."
"Benefactor is not a coward!"”
The two little children were still very close a minute ago, but in the blink of an eye, they were arguing over whether Zhu Zhen was a coward or not.
Xu Miaoyun held her forehead and said loudly,""Alright, stop talking. Whether it's true or not, the Sixth Prince is now your eldest brother-in-law.”
"So, no one is allowed to speak ill of your eldest brother-in-law.”
"Right, I can't let father bully him. I have to go and take a look.”
Xu Miaoyun got up and rushed to the main hall.
Xu Zengshou, Xu Miaojin, and Xu Doudou quickly followed behind her.
Xu Miaoyun didn't enter the main hall directly. Instead, she stood outside the door and eavesdropped.
After all, he was not married yet, so he had to be reserved. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he could not barge in rashly.
In the main hall.
Zhu Zhen's expression was calm, and he did not waver because of Xu Da's words.
He was as steady as a rock in the torrent, and his expression would not change even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.
Xu Da was shocked again.
Putting everything else aside, Prince Six's self-restraint was probably even better than Crown Prince Zhu Biao.
Since Xu Da had put it this way, Zhu Zhen could only speak his true thoughts."I lost this battle, so I won't fight.”
A battle without confidence was impossible to fight for someone as steady as Zhu Zhen.
