Chapter 209: They all came to ask for marriage
I don't know if it was because of the words that good things are more grinding, but before Shang Yi started his plan, General Huwei, the brother of the princess of Qianjun, begged the emperor in the Jinluan Palace to promise to marry his son and Su Xiaoluo, and took out the marriage letter that his family and sister had set up for the two children.
"The county lord of Minyue has left the Qianjun Mansion since birth, and the marriage letter made by the two of you in this situation is invalid at all!"
"Shang Xiang, since ancient times, children should listen to their parents' orders and concubines in marriage, what is wrong with us doing this. The minister's cheekiness to ask the emperor for marriage is also to give Xiyun's child a decent look, although it is selfish, but it is also for the good of their young couple. β
is still a young couple, Su Xiaoluo is his, and no one wants to beat her.
"General Huwei, although you can take out the marriage certificate, but the situation of the county lord of Minyue is a bit special, and I can't agree to this matter on her behalf." The emperor also rejected General Huwei's proposal, but he clearly remembered that General Huwei's son was a tiger-backed bear-waisted person with an extremely fierce face, and he was not worthy of Su Xiaoluo in the eyes of the emperor.
"The Qianjun Wang couple did not raise the county lord of Minyue, why should they point fingers at her marriage, it is the Su family who has the right to speak in this matter.
You can take out the marriage certificate, and the prime minister also said that he wants to marry the lord of Minyue, and the elders of both sides have already agreed!
That's right! Why didn't I think of such a good idea! The emperor stood up and agreed: "Yes, the family affairs of Shang Xiang and the county lord of Minyue are my nods, and the old lady of the Shang family and the old lady of the Su family personally agreed to it before you take out the marriage book, so I'm sorry!" Shang Xiang and my sister are a match made in heaven! β
Ji Yunyou wanted to help Su Xiaoluo get rid of the Chi family, but he didn't think about the consequences of bringing Su Xiaoluo and Shang Yi together.
The little emperor accepted the fact that he and Su Xiaoluo were together so easily! Ji Yunyou's attitude was a bit unexpected by Shang Yi, so he was a little distracted.
Those ministers interpreted it in their eyes that Shang Yi originally just wanted to help Su Xiaoluo break the siege, but he didn't expect the emperor to take the opportunity to force Su Xiaoluo to Shang Yi, and it was a little difficult to ride a tiger now.
"Shang Xiang is young and promising, from the kings and grandsons in the capital to the nobles of the kings and grandsons, and down to the Shangjia family, who doesn't want to send his daughter to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the matter of the lord of Minyue and the Shang Xiang should be treated with caution, not so hasty, the emperor, you say yes!" A minister who is good at figuring out people's hearts said after looking at Shang Yi's face.
What's wrong with my sister, isn't she worthy of Shang Xiang? In Ji Yunyou's eyes, Su Xiaoluo can be worthy of anyone, including Shang Yi.
"Your Majesty, Prince Xiyu Tuolei asks to see you!" There was a eunuch outside the main hall to report.
Why did he come suddenly, didn't he say that he would arrive in two days? Ji Yunyou passed on the Tuo Lei to meet him.
"This prince vaguely heard someone mention a county lord outside the palace, it just so happens that I came to Qifeng to make peace, so it's better to choose this county lord of Minyue!"
Shang Yi squinted and looked at the past, what kind of madness did this Tuo Lei smoke, he didn't know Su Xiaoluo, how could he come to join in the fun.
Tuo Lei looked at the expressionless Shang Yi and sneered in his heart, if that Minyue County Lord is not your sweetheart, this king doesn't want it!
When he set off from Xiyu, he had originally discussed and asked to marry the county lord of Xiyue, but since he met Shang Yi and Su Xiaoluo, he changed his mind after watching the interaction between the two. Although Su Xiaoluo's reputation is not obvious, she has a relationship with Qifengguo, the two most capable men, and marrying such a woman is more cost-effective than marrying the county lord of Xiyue.
As for Su Xiaoluo's appearance, he is no longer within the scope of Tuolei's consideration, he believes that the person Shang Yi has a crush on, even if he is not a stunning beauty, must be a rare beauty.
"Prince Tuolei is late, the prime minister has already proposed marriage to the Su family and got their consent, and the emperor has also agreed." Shang Yicai doesn't care who the other party is, what is the purpose of marrying Su Xiaoluo!
Su Xiaoluo can only be his wife, and others don't even think about it.
"This prince believes that the emperor will weigh the pros and cons, a county lord plays a greater role in making peace than marrying his own courtiers, the emperor and Shang Xiang should understand this truth!" Torre believed that the emperor would finally agree to his request.
"Prince Tuolei thinks I'm a child, and it doesn't matter if I go back on my word, right? The people of Qifeng Kingdom have kept their promises, and since I promised to Shang Xiang, I will not regret it! "How could Ji Yunyou let Su Xiaoluo go and kiss!
"Your Majesty, aren't you thinking about it anymore?" Ji Yunyou's answer was different from what Tuo Lei thought, isn't it just a woman? It's understandable that Shang Yi is reluctant, the emperor is a child who can't give up, does this Su Xiaoluo have any skills that he doesn't understand, if that's the case......
"This prince is willing to send Qifeng a cart of cotton seeds and send someone to teach you how to weave a finer cloth, what does the emperor think of such conditions?" Even if you want to marry the lord of the Shame Moon, it is impossible to offer more preferential conditions.
"Your Majesty, Prince Tolei's request is worth considering!" Someone in the civil service queue stepped forward.
"Aiqing thinks I should think about it, then Aiqing will send all the girls who have reached the age of eight to the post station after she goes back, and in the future, Qifeng and Xiyu will marry, and your daughters and granddaughters will also contribute to Qifeng, I will remember you well!"
The civil official, who was still impassioned just now, shut his mouth and asked him to give up one or two concubines, but it was not okay to send his concubines to Xiyu.
"If anyone else is in favor of sending the girl to the post house, rest assured that whoever is selected by me will be rewarded."
Shang Yi lifted his robe and bowed down: "Thank you for the emperor's compassion, the minister wants to ask the emperor for a holy decree, and the best time for me and Xiaoluo to become relatives is when the spring flowers are blooming." β
Shang Xiang, you really ask for the Holy Decree! The emperor didn't dare to agree to this behind Su Xiaoluo's back: "I promised Shang Xiang, but the marriage decree should be delayed, and I will write it after the distinguished guests leave, what does Shang Xiang think?" β
"The minister obeys the emperor's arrangement, but there is something that the minister wants to announce in public, from now on Su Xiaoluo is the fiancΓ©e of the real minister, if anyone beats her mind again, don't blame me for being polite."
Shang Xiang is so good to match, if it weren't for praising him on this occasion, Ji Yunyou really wanted to praise "Well done!" β
"Your Majesty, Shang Xiang and the Lord of Minyue County have not married, and the other has not been married, in this case, this prince officially submitted his credentials to Qifeng Kingdom today, and asked the emperor to give this prince as a concubine from the Lord of Minyue County!"
"Impossible!" Ji Yunyou and Shang Yi opposed at the same time.
"Shang Xiang has done his best for Qifeng Kingdom, and he has never asked me for anything, and since I have promised Shang Xiang about this matter today, I will definitely not regret it. Prince Tuolei can choose another person to be the princess, as long as you choose the other party, and she has no marriage match, I will fulfill you! β
"But this prince only loves Lord Minyue!"
Shang Yi sneered: "You haven't even seen the face of the allergic Moon County Lord, why do you like it!" β
"How does Shang Xiang know that this prince has not seen the allergic moon lord."
"Then you draw a portrait of the county lord of Minyue on the spot, if you can draw it, you are willing to fulfill you, if you can't draw it, you are not allowed to mention the matter of letting the county lord of Minyue and his relatives again."
