71. Chapter 71
"Fire Phoenix...... Princess!" "In the Imperial Garden, Du Long, who originally had a stomach full of words to ask, suddenly didn't know where to start, and looked a little hesitant.
Princess Huofeng said shyly: "In the future, we will be a family! You can call someone Feng'er, or Xiaofeng Ducheng! If you call Princess Huofeng again, it will be too outward!"
Seeing her say this, Du Long couldn't help but laugh and teased: "Hehe, I didn't know who it was before, so I insisted that I call her Sister Huofeng!"
"Hate!" Princess Fire Phoenix stomped her foot in shame in protest.
Looking at the shy beautiful girl in front of him, Du Long secretly sighed in his heart, just a word from the emperor, from then on she became his wife who will be with him for the rest of his life, the world is really unpredictable!
"By the way, what's going on today?!I'm still a little unreal in the clouds!" Du Long couldn't help but take Huo Feng's jade hand and asked softly.
"Well...... this" When Du Long asked this, Princess Huofeng didn't know how to answer, "If you say that you proposed marriage to your father and was rejected, and then found the emperor's grandfather to succeed, isn't it too faceless?"
"Forget it! I can guess it without saying it, I finally understand why Sister Lu Yin congratulated me inexplicably before the emperor arrived in the main hall just now!
"This Sister Green, people just told her an intention, it's her mouthy!" Huo Feng muttered cutely with a cherry mouth.
"You can't blame Sister Luyin for talking too much, she didn't say anything after all, she just said congratulations!" Du Long hurriedly excused Xu Luyin, and then his mind turned, and he said with some embarrassment: "Xiaofeng......"
"Huh?" Princess Huofeng blinked her big beautiful eyes and looked at Du Long with an embarrassed face suspiciously, waiting for her next step.
After Du Long hesitated for a long time, he gritted his teeth and continued: "Today's incident happened suddenly, and you also know the relationship between me and Qinglian......
"Oh, I thought it was a big deal!" Princess Huofeng smiled with relief: "Hehe, I live in the same dormitory as Qinglian, I am like sisters, and I still know her character very well, so I can naturally accept the relationship between her and you!"
Sigh!
Du Long secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the reasonable princess in front of him with a grateful face and smiled: "Hehe, Qinglian really didn't see the wrong person! She had a connection for the two of us before, but unfortunately I felt that I couldn't climb high, after all, you are a daughter, I am just a second ancestor brother, what virtue can I do!"
Huo Feng didn't wait for him to finish speaking before he interrupted: "Because of this, I have to clear the invisible obstacle between you and me as soon as possible, and take the initiative to ask the Emperor Taishang for marriage! I don't want to feel uncomfortable watching you and Qinglian soak together all day long! Hehe, that's right! Remember to go back to the house at night to appease and appease Sister Qinglian!"
"Well, this is natural!" Du Long replied in embarrassment.
So, the two of them continued to chat in the imperial garden, the relationship was originally close, plus the reason for today's marriage, the two chatted very closely, unconsciously, the New Year's fireworks in all corners of the palace rose into the sky, reflecting the colorful smoke in the sky of the entire capital, so far, the New Year's celebration in the palace has finally come to an end!
Sitting in the carriage with the Du badge hung, Du Zhentian and his wife, and Old Man Du were all red-faced, obviously they had all drunk a lot of wine tonight.
"Baby son, you are so admirable to your mother! You actually seduced Princess Huofeng into our daughter-in-law so quickly!" Zhou Ruoxue hugged Du Long's arm with excitement and kept praising him: "My mother personally saw this little princess for the first time, and I thought in my heart how good it would be for such a beautiful and lovely girl to become my daughter-in-law, I didn't expect that son, you would achieve your mother's dream so quickly!
A little speechless looking at the mother who kept squirting out the smell of wine in his mouth, Du Long could only scratch his head and be embarrassed, his mother is really strong sometimes, seeing that this even the seduction came out, he was really wronged!
"It's obviously a princess who seduces people...... is it," Du Long could only muttered to himself in his heart.
"Haha! Thinking about the news that the Emperor Taishang suddenly announced the marriage just now, those old men looked so shocked and funny, it's so cool!" Old Man Du remembered the scene at the party just now, and couldn't help but say: "Especially the old man of the Fan family, his face changed at that time, it seems that the old emperor is already dissatisfied with him!"
"Is the Emperor Taishang starting to distrust the Fan family?!" Du Zhentian obviously grasped the hidden meaning of the old man's words and asked.
"Hmph! What the surname Fan has done in recent years, anyone who is blind can see what ambitions they have! It's just that there is no evidence! This time the old emperor gave the marriage, in addition to winning over our loyal military army, it also has the meaning of beating the Fan family, it depends on whether the old man Fan understands whether he understands things, if he is sensible, he should know how to converge!"
"That's right! In recent years, Fan's hand has stretched out beyond the boundary, and it is not enough for them to hold a hundred civilian officials, so they actually stretched out their hand to the side of the military official, and the one surnamed Li has already been won over by them!" Du Zhentian nodded in response.
"Hehe, it just so happens that Long Er has shown amazing talent in recent years, and the girl of Huofeng begged hard, so the old emperor came to push the boat, which happened to be cheaper for our Du family!" Old Man Du smiled proudly.
The conversation between the father and the grandfather made Du Long's heart move, "It seems that with his rebirth, history is changing, first of all, today's marriage has faintly changed the balance of power at the top of the Haotian Empire!"
Du Fu!
Several young people soon gathered together, and even Du Caini, who had returned from the New Year's celebration, followed, and after Mr. Du and Du Zhentian and his wife hurriedly gave them the New Year's money, they rushed to the family meeting hall.
Today, the emperor gave the marriage, this is a big deal, the entire Du core of the first and second generations of the clan gathered together, ready to discuss the engagement between Du Long and the princess in the first month!
This princess's engagement can't be sloppy, starting tomorrow, the Du family will have to raise the strength of the whole clan and start planning for the engagement banquet, and the whole process must not be the slightest mistake, otherwise it will not only lose the face of the Du family, but also make the imperial family embarrassed, then it will be a crime to die!
In this regard, although Du Long was the person concerned, he did not need to worry about this kind of thing, and several young people gathered in the courtyard where they lived, and continued to drink and celebrate the New Year.
After learning that Du Long was married by the emperor today, Princess Huofeng was married to Du Mansion, and an engagement banquet was about to be held in the near future, Su Jinbao and Yuan Yu were naturally happy for him, and they had known each other for more than two months, and they had already seen Princess Huofeng's heart for him, but it was really unexpected to get engaged so soon!
Although Xia Qinglian tried her best to be very happy, and toasted Du Long from time to time to congratulate, everyone could still see the faint loss in her eyes, but no one would open their mouths to comfort her at this time.
In this somewhat strange atmosphere, seeing that the night was quieter, Du Caini glanced at Su Yuan and the others, and the three of them willingly found an excuse to leave the table and go to sleep together.
Xia Qinglian was about to get up and leave the table, but was stopped by Du Long: "Qinglian, you come with me, I have something to talk to you about alone!"
So, the two entered the wing room where Du Long lived, and after sitting down separately, Du Long looked at the soft and weak beauty beside him with pity, Xia Qinglian gritted her teeth, squeezed out a smile and raised her head to meet his gaze: "Childe, is there something wrong with looking for Qinglian so late?!"
Looking at the poor woman in front of him who was smiling and burying infinite grievances in his heart, Du Long felt a pain in his heart for no reason, and involuntarily reached out to pull her into his arms, and sighed softly: "Alas, you stupid girl!"
With a simple sentence, Xia Qinglian couldn't control her emotions anymore, and the tears gushed out uncontrollably, wetting the placket on Du Long's chest on the spot.
His right hand gently patted the girl who was constantly twitching in his arms, Du Long didn't speak, let her cry happily, and after a long time, he felt that the person in his arms finally calmed down, and then he spoke: "Silly girl!
Shamefully buried her head in Du Long's arms, Xia Qinglian was embarrassed to raise her head, and Du Long continued to smile: "Actually, tonight I deliberately went to the Imperial Garden with Princess Huofeng to chat for a long time, and I also specifically mentioned you during the period!"
Feeling the tightness of the body in his arms, Du Long knew that this Nizi obviously cared about this sentence, and did not sell it, and continued: "Huofeng, she also understands the relationship between the two of us, and she is very happy to have a good sister like you!"
"Is it true?!Childe didn't lie to others?!" Xia Qinglian raised her head and showed a beautiful face full of tears: "With Qinglian's unbearable identity, if the princess dislikes it, I am willing to be your slave, as long as Qinglian can always follow Childe, Qinglian will not have much extravagance!"
"Alas, Qinglian, why are you ashamed of yourself?!" Du Long looked at her tear-stained face a little distressed and said, "Don't take it to heart no matter what others think!" In short, in my Du Long's heart, you will always be the flawless jade, the most beautiful! You must have confidence, with your talent, you will shine in this world one day as soon as possible!"
"Qinglian can shine or not, it is all given by the son, Qinglian is afraid that she will not be able to repay the son's great kindness in this life, but she is willing to be a slave and a maid for the rest of her life, in order to repay the son's great kindness!"
