Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 1696 Are we suitable?

A burst of laughter broke the awkwardness.

Princess Jinhuai lost her initial restraint and looked at Chen Qinyu with a somewhat probing look.

She spoke bluntly: "If I guess correctly, the number one scholar is the person on the other end of the red line brought to me by the emperor's aunt."

Chen Qinyu smiled: "Your Highness the Princess, are you disappointed?"

Princess Jinhuai shook her head: "I'm not disappointed, it's just a bit embarrassing."

Yes, she was embarrassed.

After all, her correspondence with Chen Shaoyou is definitely not a secret in the Chen family.

Now that she is being lumped together with Chen Shaoyou's brother, she will naturally feel embarrassed.

But the burst of laughter just now broke this restless feeling.

Chen Qinyu was very knowledgeable, but in front of the honest Princess Jinhuai, he could not find any words to respond.

He was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Princess, there is no need to feel embarrassed or ashamed. She should be a minister."

Princess Jin Huai glanced at Chen Qinyu with some surprise, and then said: "You don't have to force me, the number one scholar. If you have any difficulties, I can just make it clear to my uncle and aunt."

Chen Qinyu didn't squint his eyes, but his attitude was extremely respectful: "The princess misunderstood, I am not embarrassed."

Princess Jin Huai was even more surprised. She turned her attention to Chen Qinyu again and carefully looked at the man in front of her.

He has a handsome figure and an extraordinary conversation.

Every move, every word and every action is full of elegance and self-cultivation.

This is a real person.

And Chen Shaoyou, who she corresponded with, had she only met a few times?

Is it the person in her imagination or the real Chen Shaoyou that makes her heart beat?
If she didn't admire Chen Shaoyou's talent, would she be sincere?

Princess Jinhuai was confused for a moment.

Chen Qinyu seemed to notice that Princess Jin Huai's eyes were falling on him.

He was a bit reserved and not as upright as usual.

He moved, trying to break the awkward atmosphere of the moment.

Unexpectedly, when his eyes shifted, he met the eyes of Princess Jinhuai.

Their eyes met and they remained silent for a long time.The atmosphere suddenly became subtle again.

Chen Qinyu lost the ability to speak again, and it was Princess Jinhuai who broke the silence first.

She asked: "No. [-] Scholar, what do you think of me?"

Chen Qinyu did not expect Princess Jinhuai to be so direct, and could not find the words to respond.

But she didn't speak for a long time, and she was afraid that Princess Jin Huai would think too much.

So he quickly replied: "The princess's golden branches and jade leaves are of course very good."

Princess Jin Huai looked at him quietly and spoke sincerely: "I don't want to hear perfunctory lies. I want you to answer honestly. How about me?"

"As your wife, as the wife of the No. [-] scholar, will everything meet your requirements?"

"I am sincerely honest, and all I ask for is the truth. If you feel it is inappropriate, you and I will give up."

"If you think it's okay, don't be polite and considerate to me in the future. As long as you are willing to treat me with respect and as a guest, then this marriage with many reasons is not completely impossible."

"But if I'm not a qualified candidate in your mind, if you force me, I'm afraid it will only cause more trouble for you and me."

Speaking of this, Princess Jinhuai asked seriously: "Do you understand what I said?"

Hearing this, Chen Qinyu raised his head and looked at Princess Jinhuai.

This time, he truly looked at the beautiful woman in front of him with a man's eyes.

Instead of choosing a wife here as the future heir of the Chen family.

But precisely because of this, he was so helpless.

The eloquence that allowed him to speak eloquently among the scholars seemed to have disappeared at this time.

He was like a mute, silent for a long time without even uttering a word.

During the long wait, Princess Jin Huai slowly withdrew her gaze.

She showed a smile: "I know the answer to the number one scholar."

After saying that, Princess Jinhuai was about to leave.

"Princess!"

Chen Qinyu blurted out and stopped her by some mistake.
