Chapter 238: Marriage Proposal
"I hope Lord Yang can keep his word."
His reaction made Tuoba Truss very satisfied, he knew what method to use to punish him, and if anyone wanted to harm people's hearts in the future, he would treat them in the same way.
Lord Yang lowered his head and sneered, "Definitely." ”
………
With full of anger, General Li returned to the house, and not long after he sat down, before he could take a sip of tea, he saw the maid hurriedly come to announce, "General, the third prince of southern Xinjiang is here again." ”
Hearing Mu Yunli's name, General Li couldn't help but have a big head for a while, I don't know what he was going to do, it was not enough to pester Li Changge three times before, this kind of thing happened recently, how could he be embarrassed to come over again, did he think that it was not enough to harm Li Changge?
"Go and tell him that Miss hasn't come back yet, I'm not feeling well, I won't see the guest for the time being, let him go back."
Now on the cusp of the storm, it is indeed not suitable for Mu Yunli to enter the General's Mansion, so many pairs of eyes in the court have been staring at them, there are risks anytime and anywhere, how can they do it if they are not cautious, plus the emperor finally suppressed the matter of letting Li Changge and his relatives, he didn't want to give up his efforts because of Mu Yunli.
"But he said he had something important to discuss, and asked you to see him anyway."
This was said very mysteriously, which aroused General Li's curiosity, and made him also want to know what kind of medicine was sold in Mu Yunli's gourd, so let's see him and let him die.
"Invite him in."
Mu Yunli carried the gift box in both hands, swaggered, and walked in with great spirits, "General Li, this is a gift I specially brought for you, be careful, please smile." ”
The appearance of the gift box is exquisite and gorgeous, and at a glance, you can see that the gift is expensive, General Li is not related to him, so naturally there is no way to laugh at it, "The old man has received it, but the third prince is still asked to take back this gift, and the old man can't afford it." ”
He never accepts gifts from others easily, not to mention that it is still given by Mu Yun, so he has to be more cautious, otherwise who knows what price he will have to pay for receiving this gift, it is better to be cautious in everything.
"This is a little bit of my heart, why does General Li refuse to accept it, is it because he looks down on me?"
His refusal made Mu Yunli have a lot of opinions, no one has ever dared to refuse his gift, General Li is still the first, but he doesn't want anyone to set a precedent, if anyone dares to ignore the promotion, he will use practical actions to prove what the price of not giving him face will be.
"The third prince laughed, your status is noble, how dare the old man look down on you?" For some reason, General Li always felt that his eyes were very murderous, and he seemed to have complaints, in order to avoid things from getting worse and causing extraneous branches, he had to let go first, "I like this gift very much, thank you for the kindness of the third prince." ”
Accepting such a big favor from him, for a while, General Li couldn't help it, so he had to wait for a return gift to him, everyone didn't owe each other, and his heart might be steady.
"General Li is polite."
handed over the gift box to the maid, Mu Yunli's demeanor was obviously much better, he liked General Li's appearance as a handsome man who knew the times, fortunately he had eyesight, otherwise he really didn't know how to punish him.
Changing to a more comfortable position, General Li looked him up and down and asked, "I don't know what the third prince is doing when he comes today?" ”
Every time he came over before, he was gossiping and having nothing to do, but now that the situation is special, it is time for him to avoid suspicion, he doesn't believe that he will be so bored.
Mu Yunli didn't answer immediately, just craned his neck and kept looking, "Is Miss Li at home?" ”
In the past, if he knew that he was coming, whether he wanted to or not, Li Changge would greet him, but after sitting for a long time today, he never saw her, could it be that he was not at home?
"She's out and hasn't come back yet." General Li's doubts were even worse, but he didn't say anything, "You have something to do with the little girl?" ”
"Nope." Mu Yunli retorted, "I'm here to find you, General. ”
Usually he is indeed here for Li Changge, but today's matter, she may not be able to make the decision herself, so she still has to discuss with General Li, if he agrees, naturally he does not need to ask Li Changge, but if he disagrees, I am afraid it will be the same.
"Looking for me?" This is a new statement, "The third prince is looking for me?" ”
General Li thought that he had nothing to say to Mu Yunli, and he had always been like this, and today he suddenly became so enthusiastic, presumably there must be something, and as for the good thing or the bad thing, it was up to fate.
"The general doesn't have to be nervous." Seeing that his body was stiff and his forehead was sweating, he knew how nervous he was, and didn't want him to mess up, Mu Yunli hurriedly said, "What I want to say is a great thing. ”
Whether he is happy or not, it doesn't matter at all, the important thing is that if he hears this news, General Li will definitely be extremely excited, after all, this is a great time for a carp to jump into the dragon gate, I believe he will not miss it.
"What is the good thing, please let the third prince say it clearly." General Li hopes that he will have something to say quickly, don't make a fool of himself, let him wait here in a hurry, and having said that, he may not be able to have any good news, so as not to harm him, he will be Amitabha.
"I want to propose to General Lee." Mu Yunli stood up and said solemnly, "I hope you can marry Miss Li to me." ”
This news came suddenly, which frightened General Li a lot, as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt, he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and all he thought about was what Mu Yunli had just said.
Is this what he calls a good thing? For him, this is not a good thing, but a disaster, he must not push his daughter into the bottomless abyss, just now in the court he can refuse Lord Yang, now of course he can also refuse Mu Yunli.
"The third prince can love the little girl like this, the old man will thank you for her first, but the old man once promised her that her marriage is in her sole discretion, although I say that as her father, I will never be untrustworthy and interfere in this matter, so please forgive me for not being able to promise you."
After all, Mu Yunli is a prince, his status is noble, ordinary people can't compare, and General Li can't afford to offend, of course he won't refuse him stiffly, he needs to be tactful, find a suitable excuse to prevaricate, so as not to hurt the face of the two.
"Since ancient times, marriage has always been the order of parents, how come the words of the matchmaker come to Miss Li, but it doesn't work?"
Mu Yunli couldn't agree with his answer, to tell the truth, he thought that General Li was perfunctory to him, after all, Li Changge has always been filial, if he agreed with an iron heart, she wouldn't say anything, in the final analysis, it was nothing more than General Li was unwilling to find a reason to prevaricate him.
"That's the rule of other people, but not the rule of mine." Knowing that he was doubting himself, General Li was not polite to him, "In my place, the marriage is all up to the children themselves, and now that Changge is not at home, I categorically can't agree to this matter without her consent, otherwise how can I be worthy of her?" ”
The person he doesn't like is impossible for Li Changge to marry, so Mu Yunli will die of this heart, even if he says it today, he can't let go, he doesn't care what Li Changge thinks, anyway, as long as he is there, his daughter will never marry far away from Nanjiang and marry someone like Mu Yunli.
He said it too surely, his eyes were sharp, his words were chiseled, and he knew at a glance that he was iron-hearted, he must not be able to get any benefits here, and Mu Yunli didn't want to waste time with him.
"That being the case, then I will take my leave first, and when I see Miss Li another day, I will discuss this matter with her personally, and if she agrees, please General Li not to prevaricate me."
With that, he turned around and left, leaving behind a dashing back, so that General Li didn't have time to reply.
Exhaled through his nostrils, General Li thought in his heart, he knew his daughter very well, if Mu Yunli really had that ability, let Li Changge marry him willingly, he would have no opinion at that time, but I was afraid that he didn't have that ability, so he could only speak fast here for a while.
………
The rumors are very complicated, and they may not be clear for a while, but fortunately, there is Lu Changwei staring at her, Li Changge is not too anxious, thinking that the matter cannot be ended for the time being, she decided to go to the palace first, and explain it clearly to Tuoba Huan, only when she confirms her innocence with him, can she deal with her own affairs without worries.
All the way to the gate of the palace, the soldiers guarding the city knew her, so they quickly let her go, so that she could find Tuoba truss all the way unimpeded.
"Long song?"
It was so unexpected to see her in the palace, and with a light in his eyes, he greeted her with joy.
"It's me." Looking at him running towards him, Li Changge's eyebrows and eyes were also crooked with a smile, but there was a little more worry in his smile.
"Why did you come here all of a sudden?"
Tuoba Truss originally thought that she was in a hurry to solve the matter now, and she didn't have time to meet him, but now the unexpected arrival surprised and delighted him.
"I just miss you and want to come and see you."
In the past two days, she has been very busy, because she has no clue about things and is at a loss, which makes her psychologically stressed, and she is anxious every day, like a stone pressing on her heart, almost out of breath.
Seeing him now, hearing his voice, it was like having a serious illness, suddenly cured, and she was full of infinite vitality and strength again.
"I miss you too." Tuoba Truss hugged her tightly, even just listening to her heartbeat, he was inexplicably relieved, "But these two days of state affairs are busy, so I can't take time out to look at you, will you be angry with me?" ”
When she needed herself the most, he didn't stay by her side in time, but found someone to replace him, and said a sincere word, he was ashamed in his heart, but between the state and her, there needs to be a trade-off, and he is also helpless.
