Chapter 307: Marriage Proposal
The man smiled wryly, and he was immediately classified as a "waste" as part of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He had to bite the bullet and defend the Ministry of Internal Affairs: "There are too many people in Shenghui City, and the civilians are still panicking in order to deal with possible crises, even if the storage is released, those materials will be a drop in the bucket." ”
"Where is the House of Elders?, is Barrow making progress?", Grievous the Great asked abruptly, after a moment of silence.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, but still said softly: "Marquis Barrow Brooke has tried his best to communicate with the elders, but it's just ......", he peeked at the emperor, and still didn't dare to hide it after all: "It's just that the families don't have much grain storage due to the previous famine years. ”
This is the end of his words, but the subtext is very clear: those big nobles in the House of Elders are refusing to help the royal family for disaster relief.
Surprisingly, the Emperor was not angry, he said as if he had expected it: "That little loach of Barrow, at this time, he is still thinking about the source of both sides, is the wall grass so easy to be?"
"Okay, you go back and continue to raise for disaster relief, and report any emergencies directly to me. As if tired of it, the Emperor waved his hand tiredly and ended the summons.
"Yes. The middle-aged man saluted happily as if he had been amnesty, and when he left, he finally had the opportunity to take out his handkerchief and wipe the sweat on his head.
"These nobles really can't count on any ......," as if casually sighing, the Emperor shook a string of golden bells in his wheelchair and instructed the guards who came in, "Go to Count Rontide Reinhardt." ”
As he was leaving, as if he remembered, he pointed to the moon beauty that he had pruned before and said, "Throw that pot of moon beauty away, it's been bitten by pests." ”
The guard who received the order looked at the colorful flowers in front of him, and scratched his head a little puzzled: "Isn't this flower blooming quite well?
After a series of twists and turns, in a room near the Emperor's bedroom, the Emperor saw Long Taide, who was wearing medicine with bandages on most of his body. He leaned halfway over and hurriedly stopped Long Tide, who wanted to get up and salute.
"I've already seen it three times, so I don't have to be so formal. ”
"Where, this is as it should be, Your Majesty. Due to the previous assassination, Long Tide, who was seriously injured, said gratefully: "I was suspected of assassinating you, and it was you who endorsed me and directly pardoned me." He also ordered the medical officer to do his best to treat me at the expense of expensive medicines, such a great kindness, it is really another boy's gratitude, and it is unforgettable. ”
Grievous the Great laughed: "If the heirs of the Falcon family can't be trusted, then who else can I trust." He looked at the bandages on Long Tide's body, and said very regretfully: "It's you, this time you have suffered." ”
At this time, Emperor Grievous was full of smiles and a kind face, just like an ordinary old man who looked at his juniors, how could he have the supreme majesty when facing the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs before.
"I'm an old friend of Morrell's old stubbornness, who was badly wounded in a fight to the death to defend the northern borders of the kingdom and was diagnosed by a doctor as infertile. Don't mention his frustration at that time. ”
The Emperor squinted his eyes slightly, and muttered as if he was reminiscing, "It's the first time I've seen that a tough guy like him can be so sad." ”
Then he looked at Long Tide and said with a smile: "Later, when I found out that guy finally had an heir, I was so happy that I felt like I had a child. ”
The Emperor looked Long Tide up and down, and said with great satisfaction: "So in my heart, you are the same as Moses, Lloris, and Sophia, all my children. ”
"But this king has so many children, but none of them can compare to your bravery, and Morrell has given birth to a good heir. I am better than the old boy everywhere, but my only son is inferior to him. The Emperor nodded and sighed.
"Where, you're overly praised. Long Taide lowered his head and said respectfully, but after all, he was still young, and the excitement and pride in his words could not be hidden.
"It's not an exaggeration, the guards who survived your heroic battle have already told me. I only hate that the king fainted at that time, and I didn't see the big battle, nor did I see your heroic posture of fighting bravely to kill the enemy. ", said the Emperor approvingly.
"From this point of view, you also saved the life of this king. Say, Long Taide, whatever treasure you want in this palace, this king will offer it with both hands. ”
Long Tide looked at the Emperor in surprise, and saw that he was also looking at him with encouraging eyes. "No matter what kind of treasures are in this palace. The Emperor's words echoed in his ears, and the sound of a "thump" heartbeat in his chest like a drum, and Long Taide found that his heartbeat had never been so violent.
Whether it was in the north, when hunting those rare rare beasts, or when he was rewarded by his father for his military exploits, he had never been so excited, like a falcon, Long Tide keenly knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had come.
He didn't care about the wounds on his body, jumped straight down from the bed, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the boy's love for Princess Sophia is known to everyone in the entire Shenghui City. The boy is here to take the liberty of pleading with you to marry Princess Sophia to me. ”
"I, Rontide Reinhardt, swear that I will protect and love Princess Sophia for the rest of my life, and I will never abandon her, and I will depend on each other in life and death. He will also be loyal to the kingdom of St. Teresa and the Violet royal family for the rest of his life, and if he violates this oath, he will be destroyed and he will fall into hell forever!"
The wounds on his body had cracked open from the exertion, and the blood had stained the bandages bright red, as if to prove his oath. Dragontide knelt silently on the ground, nervously awaiting the verdict of Emperor Grievous.
He knew that if he missed this opportunity, he was destined to lose his life with Princess Sophia. He had been in Shenghui City for many years, but Long Ted could clearly feel that the distance between himself and Princess Sophia was getting farther and farther away instead of pulling in.
The princess was separated from him, like seeing flowers in the fog, and not only could she not touch it, but now she couldn't even see it clearly.
Emperor Grievous looked majestically at the kneeling Dragontide, letting his blood drip to the ground, and moistened the precious carpet with a little red. It's like all ordinary fathers, tangled and reluctant.
