Chapter 825: Lovesickness
Chu Xia coughed lightly, and his attitude was respectful, "Your Majesty, this palace feels that these young people are indeed very good, and it is a little difficult to choose one of them. However, there is only one person who feels that he can be worthy of the status of a princess."
The people below immediately pricked up their ears and raised their hearts.
It could be seen that everyone was very nervous, but the most nervous was someone behind them, and Chu Xia almost heard him breathe.
In the midst of thousands of calls, the honorable queen mother finally said the name, "It is our Donghua's prime minister, Lord Lu Zixiu."
When this sentence was spoken, the reaction was not strong. First of all, the person concerned, he was drinking tea leisurely, and he didn't expect this bomb to be dropped on him. Because of the late reaction, the incident happened suddenly, and a sip of tea that had just been imported suddenly squirted out, and I accidentally choked, coughing and reddening.
"Prime Minister, you don't need to be so excited, do you?" A certain prince sitting next to him opened his mouth sourly, and they naturally had nothing to say if they lost to the prime minister, but after all, their hearts were unbalanced. If the emperor and the queen mother had already made this idea, it would have been announced earlier, why bother to let them come, just to set off his prominence?
After getting this result, everyone else is wilted, the prime minister's talent is obvious to all, there is no need to show off here, and no one dares to question it, they are convinced.
"Prime Minister, are you overjoyed to be so excited?" Jing Yuan couldn't help but interject, although he didn't understand why Chu Xia chose him, since she must have her reasons for doing this, he also wanted to see someone's reaction.
At this time, someone's heart has sunk to the bottom, if he didn't pay attention to those young men and talents, then Prime Minister, what else can he say. In this Donghua Kingdom, except for the emperor, I'm afraid he is the only one who is qualified to give happiness to the princess, right? Damn it, die, huh? But why does my heart hurt so much? I couldn't breathe anymore because of the pain. Could it be that this is what the emperor once said, if you really like someone, you will understand what it means to be lovesick.
It turned out to be so uncomfortable, although there was no wound at all, it was more painful than any kind of injury.
And at this time, the sweetheart, who was standing behind the prime minister, was also entangled in her heart. She was afraid that her master would agree, and her heart would only be in vain. But I also hope that he agrees, so that the master will have someone around to take care of him in the future. And the identity of the princess is also compatible with the adult, if it is really herself, I'm afraid the world will not tolerate it, right?
The Prime Minister came back to his senses, put down the teacup, took out his handkerchief, and elegantly wiped the tea stains on the corner of his mouth, as if the person who destroyed the image just now was not him at all.
"Your Majesty, Niangniang, you are joking with your ministers again. The ministers are all old bones, and the princess is in her prime, how can the ministers climb high?"
"Is that really the Prime Minister feeling like this? Or is there another reason?" Chu Xia asked for a long time.
"This ......" Lu Zixiu hesitated for a moment, then suddenly stood up, pulled up the anxious sweetheart on the side and walked to the front of the Son of Heaven, and then knelt on both knees. The sweetheart didn't know why, so she was dragged by the master and knelt down with him, not knowing which one he was going to sing.
Everyone's attention was attracted by the prime minister, and they only heard him say loudly: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, this matter was originally prepared to report to you. Since it's a coincidence today, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day. The minister's background is not good, everyone knows this, it is not easy to have today. First of all, I would like to thank the emperor for giving his ministers a chance, and the sweet girl who has always been by my side."
Lu Zixiu looked back at his sweetheart, with a lot of tenderness in his eyes. Sweetheart felt her heart beat faster, and her eyes widened as she looked at him in a daze.
"Although we are called master and servant, we are friends who have experienced life and death together. The minister has not married a wife all these years, and there are various rumors outside. In fact, it's not that the minister doesn't marry, but that he doesn't marry. It's only because the sweetheart is young that the minister has waited all these years. Now that the sweetheart has grown up, it is also the age to talk about marriage. The minister felt that it was time to give her a name, so the minister here implored the emperor and the mother to be the master and give us a marriage." After Lu Zixiu finished speaking, he bowed his head respectfully, waiting for the saint to speak.
And the sweetheart who was kneeling next to him was frozen at this time, she couldn't believe that what she heard was true, it was from the mouth of the prime minister? Then my heart was sour, and tears rushed out of my eyes
It's like a thousand years of waiting, finally waiting for a return.
Chu Xia and Jing Yuan glanced at each other, and they both showed a smile of relief. Chu Xia is really happy for her sweetheart, her wait for so many years is really worth it. Jing Yuan was a little big, so he naturally didn't understand the friendship between their master and servant, but when she saw that Chu Xia was happy, he was happy.
Qionghua didn't care, anyway, Lu Zixiu was not her thing. But the prince of Xixia's face was a little displeased, wasn't this Donghua prime minister clearly rejecting them? It's too bad to give them face.
Helian Pengju was about to open his mouth to ask, but was stopped by his sister.
"Brother Huang, what is there to mind? The queen mother only tested the prime minister, and did not ask our opinion. If she asks me, I won't say yes."
Although Helian Pengju was still unhappy, he didn't speak again, just drank a glass of wine sullenly.
Helian Qionghua, who was sitting next to him, saw that the imperial brother was in a bad mood, and muttered to herself, so angry? I'm afraid I'll be later? She was really worried about his royal brother's health.
Hearing the Prime Minister's words, Yun Fei's heart was a little relieved. He secretly glanced at Qionghua, but found that her eyes hadn't swept over him from beginning to end, as if he was really air and didn't exist, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
At this time, the queen spoke, "Prime Minister, are you telling the truth? Do you really want to marry this girl next to you? Don't you realize that her status is low, and she insults your identity?"
The people who had just been shocked by the prime minister's words also came back to their senses at this time. It is said that people go to high places and water flows to low places, they really can't believe that the high-ranking prime minister wants to ask for a marriage to a girl? At this time, listening to the queen's question, they all looked at him intently.
I saw that Lu Zixiu was neither humble nor arrogant, raised his head and looked directly at the two people in the high position, and arched his hand: "Emperor Qi, if you talk about identity, Weichen was once just a beggar and was spurned by everyone, so where did he come from? If it weren't for the emperor's willingness to give the minister a chance, the minister might still be begging on the street now? Therefore, Weichen feels that identity is not important, what matters is character, and whether it can be agreed. If Weichen marries a young lady, although both parties have been glorified, but because the two of them grew up in different environments, they may also have a lot of differences about life, so how can there be happiness at all?"
Saying this, Lu Zixiu glanced at the sweetheart with tears in his eyes, reached out to wrap her little hand tightly, smiled with satisfaction, and continued to speak: "Chen and sweetheart have been together for many years, and they know each other's personalities, morals, and people very well. If you guys really want to know why? In fact, there is another reason, that is, the minister is too lazy, and he works hard all day for state affairs and hard enough, so he has no extra time to cultivate a relationship with a stranger, so the sweetheart is the most suitable, please ask the emperor and queen to fulfill it."
Sweetheart felt the warmth in her hands, and her nervous heart slowly calmed down, and a faint smile appeared on her tear-stained face. I really don't have any regrets about hearing him say these words in this life.
I don't know why Chu Xia's heart was sour, and he had the urge to cry. But she knew that she was happy, really happy for her sweetheart.
A hand suddenly stretched out beside him, took her into his arms, didn't care about everyone's eyes, and whispered in her ear, "This prime minister usually looks innocent, but I didn't expect there to be so many flowers."
Chu Xia snorted lightly and hit him with his arm, "Your Majesty, give an order?"
"Okay, Niangniang said to make an order, and I will make an order."
Jing Yuan was sitting precariously, his expression narrowed, and he suddenly turned into a majestic and domineering king.
"Rich and noble, mighty and unyielding, not greedy for money, not lustful, my good prime minister, it turns out that he is still an infatuated son. If I don't agree again, won't I become a faint king who doesn't know what to do? Therefore, I will pass on my will, give marriage to the prime minister and sweetheart, and make the prime minister's wife the lady of the third grade."
"Thank you, Lord Long." The prime minister pulled his sweetheart and kowtowed to the Son of Heaven. Sweetheart is still dizzy now, she hasn't fully digested what the adult said just now, and now the emperor said that she was given a fate, which ...... It's too mysterious.
There was a buzz below, and they all sighed for the prime minister's unswerving loyalty. Naturally, some people secretly rejoiced that the prime minister married someone else, and the princess was self-sufficient
Don't you have another chance?
Lu Zixiu sat back in his place with his sweetheart, but the sweetheart was standing behind him just now, and he was sitting next to him at the moment. new
Sweetheart is a little unaccustomed, and she is uncomfortable being looked at by so many pairs of eyes. She hasn't woken up from the shock of marrying the prime minister.
"Don't be nervous, this position will be yours in the future." Seeing her unnaturalness, Lu Zixiu comforted her softly.
Sweetheart's face turned crimson at the moment, looked up at the man next to her, and said in hindsight, "I haven't promised to marry you yet?"
"Am I doing it myself?" The prime minister looked annoyed, and then said indifferently: "No matter what, the emperor has already issued an order, Chrysostom Yuyan, even if you don't want to marry, it's too late." When he said this, his eyes were full of smiles.
Sweetheart was a girl after all, glared at him shyly, and then hurriedly lowered her head. But the smile on the corner of his mouth can't be hidden, and a heart is even more joyful.
They are complete, Qionghua is a little unbalanced in her heart, she can't wait. So he didn't care about any etiquette, got up from his seat and walked to the emperor and queen, "Emperor Donghua, what do you mean by this?" Do you look down on me, the princess of Western Xia? Today, it's obviously for me to recruit relatives, but now that everyone else is in pairs, how can you make me embarrassed?"
