Chapter 20 Courtship
Seeing the emperor's dragon face and great joy, Feng Xiang relieved his heart, and knelt on the ground with his robe, "The minister has nothing else to ask for, but the minister has a heart, and I hope that the emperor will fulfill it." ”
Yan Ming saw Feng Xiang kneeling on the ground with his robe, his laughing face condensed slightly, and he glanced at Feng Xiang's straight kneeling posture without a trace, and sneered in his heart, thinking that this Feng Xiang had been in the border for so long, and it really hadn't changed at all, it seemed that he still couldn't believe him too much.
"Father, it's better to make General Feng the general of the country." Prince Yan Zekai suddenly stood up and said, and nodded at Feng Xiang and Liu Haoran after speaking, with a warm look.
"Hey, prince, don't interject, let Feng Aiqing say it herself, Feng Aiqing, it's okay for you to say it." Yan Ming waved his hand at Yan Zekai, signaling him not to say more, then looked at Feng Xiang and said gently.
Feng Xiang didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to suddenly stand up and ask for a reward for himself, although he has been at the border in the past few years, the changes in the situation in the court have always been secretly reported to him.
This Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not as gentle and easy to get along with as he seems on the surface, but he has done a lot of bad things in secret.
"The last general thanks His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his kindness, but the minister doesn't want to reward him, the minister wants to ask for a good family affair for my second daughter Feng Muqiu." Feng Xiang knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said respectfully.
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the court, and even Liu Haoran looked at Feng Xiang kneeling beside him in disbelief.
Now such a good opportunity, this fool actually wants to use it to ask for a good family for the wild seed he picked up from the battlefield, how good it would be if this opportunity was used to ask for a lady for his daughter.
Yan Ming originally thought that Feng Xiang would follow the olive branch stretched out by the prince, he was ready to let Li Yu go to issue the holy decree, but he didn't expect Feng Xiang to refuse, he was a little surprised and said, "Oh...... What the? Aiqing, you say it again. ”
When Feng Xiang heard this, the whole person was very calm, raised his head and glanced at the emperor quickly, then lowered his head and said, "The last general implores the emperor to point out a good family matter for Feng Muqiu, the second daughter of the last general." ”
Only then did the other ministers believe that they had heard correctly, this General Feng actually used such a good opportunity to ask for his daughter, this is really, saying that this person is stupid, and people can guard the border, saying that this person is not stupid, and actually wasting this opportunity in vain.
Yan Ming was sure that he had heard correctly, this Feng Xiang was really courting for his daughter, and it was not for his own daughter-in-law, but a child who didn't know where to pick it up.
When Yan Zhenyu heard that Feng Xiang was going to ask for a good family affair for Feng Muqiu, his pupils shrank, he never expected that Feng Xiang would have this plan.
But this request can be both beneficial and harmful to him, and now that the opportunity has been presented to him, how can he let it slip away.
Thinking of this, the corners of Yan Zhenyu's mouth quietly hooked, and his eyes showed a longing color.
And Yan Zekai heard Feng Xiang say this, and quickly dialed the abacus in his heart and calculated, if he married Feng Mubai, he would definitely be able to get the support of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so that it would be much easier for him to ascend the throne at that time, but whether he could get the support of this general is probably still unknown.
And if you marry Feng Muqiu, you will definitely get the support of the General's Mansion, most of the military power of the Wu State is in the hands of Feng Xiang, if you get the support of Feng Xiang by then, then this Wu State is not in your own pocket.
But Feng Muqiu is a concubine, if she wants to marry her as the crown princess, she will definitely not work, and Feng Mubai is the concubine of the general's mansion, and the position of the crown princess must be sat by the concubine.
Thinking of this, Yan Zekai had already made a decision in his heart, but he really couldn't do it, so he would go and discuss with the general's wife when the time came, marry Feng Mubai, and let Feng Muqiu be the side concubine.
Yan Zekai's abacus crackled, but would things really develop the way he thought.
Yan Ming looked at Feng Xiang steadily, and saw that he knelt straight, his expression was clear, and his eyes did not contain any abnormalities, so he believed that he was really willing to give up the reward and only ask for a good family affair for his second daughter.
"Haha, it seems that this general of mine really didn't choose the wrong one, Feng Aiqing, this matter is accurate, you can rest assured." Yan Ming waved his hand and responded boldly.
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." Seeing that Yan Ming agreed, Feng Xiang kowtowed and said.
Yan Ming looked at Feng Xiang happily, stretched out his hand and helped him, "Get up, do other Aiqing have something to do?" If nothing happens, then retreat. ”
Li Yu waited for a while, and when he saw that the ministers did not come out to report the matter, he stepped forward and announced loudly, "Retreat from the dynasty." ”
"Congratulations to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." Seeing that Yan Ming got up and left, all the ministers knelt down and saluted.
"General Feng, General Feng, wait for our family, General, the emperor invites you to go to the imperial study." As soon as Feng Xiang stepped out of the main hall, Li Yu behind him trotted after him and stopped him.
"Father-in-law Li," Feng Xiang saw Li Yu stop in front of him, stopped, and looked at him with some doubts, he didn't understand why the emperor was looking for him, he was now in a hurry to go home and told Feng Muqiu that the emperor had promised to find a good family for her.
Qiuqiu would be happy if she knew the news, Feng Xiang thought to himself.
"General, General?" Seeing that Feng Xiang was distracted, Li Yu stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, seeing that Feng Xiang came back to his senses, Li Yu hurriedly smiled and said, "General, don't delay, go to the imperial study with our family." ”
"Uh...... Okay, please ask Father-in-law Li to lead the way. Feng Xiang came back to his senses and looked at Li Yu with a somewhat embarrassed smile.
"General, please." Li Yu bent over slightly and said sideways.
At the door of the imperial study, Li Yu stopped, turned to Feng Xiang and said, "Please wait a while, general, let's go in and pass it on."
Feng Xiang nodded, and imperceptibly stuffed a money bag for Li Yu, "There is Lao Grandpa Li, be careful, invite Grandpa Li to have a cup of tea, and hope that Grandpa Li will not dislike it." ”
"Hehe, don't dislike it, don't dislike it, then our family will go in first." Touching the money bag in the cuffs, Li Yu's mouth was almost behind his ears, he put the bag back in the cuffs and stuffed it, and went in happily.
I didn't expect that this General Feng would understand these things when he looked at a person like wood, it didn't seem so stupid, and looking at the emperor's meaning, I am afraid that this General Feng will be favored.
Thinking of this, Li Yu walked into the imperial study quickly, bowed and saluted, "The emperor is auspicious, the emperor, General Feng is outside the door now, do you want to announce him in immediately?"
