Chapter 474: Marriage
Prince Bashak was already very angry at this time, and wanted to continue to beat Gu Fengmian, but the envoy of the Baiyi Kingdom before hurriedly stopped: "Prince, I am willing to lose the bet, don't be too unreasonable!"
Gu Fengmian handed the gold token to the consul's eunuch, he took the token to Shen Zeyuan and showed it, Shen Zeyuan praised: "Okay! Gu Fengmian, you are worthy of being the person I fancied, you didn't disappoint me, were you injured in the competition just now?"
Only then did everyone recall that what Shen Zeyuan said was that Gu Fengmian was slammed to the ground by Prince Bashak, Gu Fengmian said: "Your Majesty Xie cares, it is inevitable that there will be times when you miss in the competition, and it is not a big problem." ”
Seeing that Gu Fengmian was so generous, everyone also praised his extraordinary bearing. Only Ouyang Xue was very anxious, Prince Bashak's fall was not light, and she could see that Gu Fengmian was still a little slow. Gu Fengmian also thought that he might be worried, and smiled at her, and Ouyang Xue was relieved.
Prince Bashak lost all three rounds of the competition, but he was arrogant and not particularly convinced. Shen Zeyuan said: "In this way, Bashak, can you admit defeat?"
Bashak glanced at Gu Fengmian angrily, Gu Fengmian didn't look at him, Bashak said: "I, Bashak, am willing to gamble and lose." ”
Gu Fengmian nodded slightly and said calmly, "I agreed." ”
Shen Zeyuan nodded with satisfaction and asked Gu Fengmian: "You won a big victory in this competition, do you have any reward you want, you can tell me, I will reward you." ”
Gu Fengmian knelt down and said to Shen Zeyuan very sincerely: "Your Majesty, the minister does not have any treasures he wants, the minister wants to ask Your Majesty for one thing, I don't know if Your Majesty can fulfill the minister's wishes." ”
Shen Zeyuan waved his hand and said, "Aiqing doesn't have to be restrained, please speak." ”
Gu Fengmian still lowered his head very sincerely and said, "The minister fell in love with Miss Ouyang Xue at first sight and wanted to pray for your marriage, Your Majesty. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present whispered. Zuo Xiang's face darkened in an instant, and he knew that this stinky boy was uneasy and kind to his daughter, and sure enough, he was waiting here.
Shen Zeyuan glanced at Song Shuyan, who nodded at him with a smile, and then he said, "I already know about this matter, but I don't know if Miss Ouyang is willing to marry Gu Fengmian?" Everyone knew that this sentence was said to Ouyang Xue.
Ouyang Xue was also surprised when she heard that Gu Fengmian suddenly asked His Majesty for marriage, and lowered her head shyly, and when she saw Shen Zeyuan asking herself, she stepped forward and said, "The courtier is willing." ”
Gu Fengmian looked at her with a smile, while Ouyang Xue was flushed and smiled shyly.
Only then did Shen Zeyuan agree: "Since you both like each other, then I will also agree." Gu Fengmian heard Shen Zeyuan's permission and wanted to thank him, but at this time, Zuo Xiang stepped forward to stop him.
"I hope Your Majesty will think twice!" said Zuo Xiang.
"Father!" Ouyang Xue shouted in a low voice beside him.
"Shut up!" said Zuo Xiang.
"Prime Minister Zuo, why is this?" Shen Zeyuan asked Zuo Xiang.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is such a daughter, I don't want her to marry so early, besides, my wife left early, she told the old minister to take care of her daughter, find a stable home for her, I hope Your Majesty will think twice about my Zuo family's loyalty to my Great Dynasty for generations, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice." Zuo Xiang said bitterly.
Prime Minister Zuo's wife left early, and before she died, she instructed Zuo Xiang to take good care of her children and find a stable family for Ouyang Xue. Zuo Xiang: For so many years, how many sons of families, famous families came to him to propose marriage, and wanted to marry Ouyang Xue, but he didn't agree.
Ouyang Xue also became sad when she saw her father move out of her late mother and say this.
Song Shuyan also knew something about Prime Minister Zuo's wife, and said to Prime Minister Zuo: "Xue'er has a relationship with Mr. Gu, and Mr. Gu will definitely not live up to Xue'er's point, so Zuo Xiangda doesn't have to worry." Moreover, Mr. Gu is very intelligent and has superb martial arts, and he will definitely be able to give Xue'er happiness in the future, so the prime minister does not have to worry about this. ”
Shen Zeyuan also said: "Yes, I gave marriage to the two of them, if Gu Fengmian fails Miss Ouyang in the future, I and the queen will definitely be the first to spare him." ”
When Gu Fengmian saw Shen Zeyuan say this, he said more sincerely: "I, Gu Fengmian, swear to the sky that I will never disappoint Ouyang Xue in this life and this life, and if I break my oath, I will not die a good death." ”
"Please rest assured, I, Gu, will never disappoint Xue'er in my life. As he spoke, he saluted Prime Minister Zuo again.
Shen Zeyuan asked again: "What is Prime Minister Zuo's opinion?"
Ouyang Xue said to Zuo Xiang next to him: "Dad, I really like Fengmian, please do it." ”
Zuo Xiang had no choice but to give up and sighed.
Seeing that he had already agreed, Shen Zeyuan continued: "Then I will give a decree to marry Gu Fengmian and Ouyang Xue, Gu Fengmian, you must treat Miss Ouyang well in the future, and don't let down her and Zuo Cheng's trust in you." ”
"The minister will definitely not let down Miss Ouyang, and will not live up to the trust of His Majesty and Prime Minister Zuo. Gu Fengmian said.
"Well, can Prime Minister Zuo rest assured?" Shen Zeyuan asked Prime Minister Zuo.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, with Your Majesty's words, the old minister can rest assured. Zuo Xiang bowed deeply to Shen Zeyuan and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Gu Fengmian and Ouyang Xue also saluted Shen Zeyuan.
Shen Zeyuan waved his hand to get them up, Ouyang Xue and Zuo Xiang returned to their seats, and Liu Xi, who was sitting next to Ouyang Xue, said with a smile: "It seems that you, Gu Lang, are really sincere to you, and the days of your marriage and happiness in the future are still ahead." ”
Ouyang Xue blushed and said angrily: "Look at what you said, what nonsense. ”
Liu Xi smiled even brighter and said to Ouyang Xue: "Look at you, this is not to be said." ”
Ouyang Xue glanced at Gu Fengmian again, Gu Fengmian looked at her with a smile and the eyes of the two happened to meet, Ouyang Xue thought of what Liu Xi had just said, and lowered her head shyly with a red face.
Everyone raised their glasses to the left phase and drank Gu Fengmian and said goodbye, the left minister didn't look particularly happy, and everyone also raised their wine glasses. Gu Fengmian was happy, and raised his glass to everyone to return the wine.
Prince Bashak watched the scene just now, although he didn't know much about the situation, but in general, the emperor gave Gu Fengmian a marriage, so he also raised his wine glass, stood up and said to Gu Fengmian: "I was too reckless in the competition just now, and it was a matter of proportion for a while, don't mind, I salute you for this glass of wine, you are a hero, I want you to make amends." ”
