124 Marshal's request

Ivan met with the ministers of civil and military affairs early this morning and held talks on some major state affairs. After all the negotiations were completed, Ivan hurried back to the study to deal with the backlog of government affairs. Sometimes Ivan is also thinking about what he did to snatch this position from among his many brothers in the first place. When I was young, I felt very admired and admired when I saw my father's commanding appearance, but now I want to let go when I sit in this position. Thinking about it, I have been in power for almost 20 years, and I have been busy going back and forth between state affairs every day in the past 20 years, and I don't even have much free time. Is this really what you want?

Just when Ivan was upset, the guards outside suddenly walked in. The guard knelt down on one knee and said respectfully, "Your Honor, the old marshal has come to ask to see you, do you want to see it or not?" However, Marshal Jun has a lofty position in the Silver Moon Empire, and he does not dare to slack off when he comes. Immediately got up and said, "Why don't you hurry up and invite the old marshal in, go quickly!" Looking at Ivan's appearance, he seemed to be really anxious to see the old marshal. The emperor of twenty years has not been in vain, at least in terms of acting skills. The guard immediately bowed and replied, "Yes!" and got up and walked out.

After a while, the old marshal walked in through the door. Ivan was about to go to meet him immediately, and the old marshal seemed to be about to kneel down in fear. "The old minister, the will of heaven, how can he dare to let His Excellency get up to greet him. Ivan grabbed Marshal Jun's arm and helped him up, but didn't really let Marshal Jun kneel. "Marshal Jun charged for my Silver Moon Empire, he has made great contributions, and he is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, how can Ivan be worthy of the old Marshal Jun's knees. Someone, bring a chair. As soon as Ivan finished speaking, a guard brought a chair. Ivan stretched out his hand, "Old Marshal, please sit down, if there is something to sit down and say." "Then Your Majesty will thank Your Excellency for giving me a seat. The old marshal bowed slightly. Then he unceremoniously sat down in his chair, and Ivan walked back to his place and sat down again.

Ivan looked at the old marshal and asked sincerely, "I don't know if the old marshal came in person, what do you want to discuss with the emperor?" Ivan's words were very humble, as if he really respected the old marshal Jun. The old marshal was a little resentful of Ivan's false attitude, but he did not show it. Hearing Ivan's question, the old marshal immediately replied, "Your Excellency must know that the old minister has only four sons in his life, and the eldest Wuxin and the old ruthless have already died on the battlefield for the country. Now only the uninjured and unintentional remain. The old marshal said with a sad look on his face. Ivan was a little confused by the old marshal, what the hell does this old guy want to say. Although he scolded in his heart, Ivan's face also showed a sad and nostalgic sentimental look.

"Thinking about how happy it was to be Emperor Ben and a few unintentional and ruthless people wantonly on Silver Moon City back then. It's just that now that the person is gone, there is no time for melancholy. The contributions made by the two brothers Heartless and Ruthless to the Silver Moon Empire will be remembered by every citizen of the Silver Moon Empire, and the old marshal also asks for condolences and changes. Ivan pretended to be sad and sad on his face, and picked up some nice words to comfort the old marshal. The old marshal didn't come to complain today, but when he heard the words, he quickly put away his sad look. Standing up and bowing slightly to Ivan, the old marshal continued, "Today, the old minister has the courage to come here because he has a reluctant request to ask his honor to be fulfilled. Ivan also put on a correct posture at this time, he was willing to spend so much effort and marshal Jun to rap and spare for so long just to find out what Jun Tianyi was going to do.

Although Ivan doesn't like Jun Tianyi, he still can't afford not to give the face that should be given. "Old marshal, please sit down, if there is anything to say, as long as everything is within the scope of the emperor's ability, everything is easy to discuss. Marshal Jun sat back at this time, looked at Ivan and continued, "Since the founding of the Silver Moon Empire of my Jun family, it has been a loyal heirloom, and it has dedicated blood and life to the Silver Moon Empire for generations. But God made my Jun family thin all the time. Lao Chen has always hoped that my grandchildren can spread the branches and leaves for my family, but none of them have a woman in the picture. The old marshal said with some hatred, and slapped his thigh fiercely. The corners of Ivan's mouth twitched slightly, this old guy wouldn't be looking for Bendi to complain. "The old marshal, please let go of the gods in the sky who will protect the Jun family, and the nephews will definitely be able to find the person they like. As long as the nephews have someone to look at, they will come to Bendi and tell him, and Bendi can give them marriage in person. As soon as Ivan finished speaking, the old marshal clapped his hands and stood up excitedly and said, "That's right! God bless! My grandson Aotian has finally found the person he likes." Therefore, the old minister came today to implore His Excellency to marry my grandson and that girl. Ivan was taken aback by the old marshal, but he finally understood. It turns out that this old guy is here for such a little thing, don't you really know that Bendi is busy with government affairs?

"Old marshal, let's hear it, whose young lady has a crush on Aotianxian's nephew. As long as the girl has no marriage contract, the emperor can give the virtuous nephew a marriage, which can be regarded as the beauty of sincerity and benevolence. Ivan said casually. The Silver Moon Empire is all his, and it is not easy to give a marriage. The old marshal immediately said happily, "That's really good, the old minister thanked him first." The kind words of the old marshal still made Ivan very useful, and Ivan waved his hand and said, "It's okay, the old marshal should tell Bendi who the girl is." Ben Di had already made arrangements for this family affair. "The other party is your daughter Xuexi Aihuat. Marshal Jun slowly said Xue Xi's name. Ivan was stunned for a moment, he couldn't remember who Xue Xi was for a while. It took a while for Ivan to think that more than ten years ago, there was a waste daughter who could not practice magic and martial arts with Alina.

"It's her. Ivan's tone became a little cold, thinking that Alina had made his mood worse, "Bendi does have such a daughter, but she was beaten into the cold palace by Bendi along with her mother more than ten years ago. I don't know how Ao Tianxian's nephew could fall in love with her?" said the old marshal with a smile, "Your Excellency summoned the grandson of the old minister to the palace yesterday, and Princess Xin and my grandson inadvertently broke into the cold palace when they were wandering around. My grandson fell in love with Princess Xuexi at first sight. When I went home yesterday, I begged the old minister to come and intercede, and wanted the respected general Princess Xuexi to marry him. Your Excellency doesn't know if Princess Xuexi has a marriage contract?" the old marshal looked at Ivan with a smile on his face. Ivan scolded the old fox secretly, it turned out that he had said so much before that he was waiting for Bendi here. A hint of gloom flashed in Ivan's eyes.

"Hehe, that's easy to say. The little girl naturally has no marriage contract, and the virtuous nephew is also a civil and military all-rounder, and the two are very compatible. Well, this family affair Ben Di agreed. In a few days, it will be Xuexi's sixteenth birthday, and then Emperor Bendi will hold a ceremony for her. Xue Xi and the marriage of the virtuous nephew was announced in public at the Chengren ceremony. Is this the old marshal satisfied?" Ivan looked at the old marshal with a smile. The old marshal nodded slightly, and replied with a smile on his face, "Satisfied, satisfied, as at the beginning, the old minister will thank you." The old marshal got up from his chair as he spoke, "The old minister knows that His Excellency is busy with government affairs, so he will take his leave first." The Venerable doesn't have to send each other, the old minister can leave by himself. After speaking, the old marshal bowed slightly, and then without looking at Ivan, he retreated straight from the palace gate.

After the old marshal left, Ivan didn't have the heart to deal with government affairs for the time being, Ivan held his hands on his head, and secretly thought in his heart, this old guy inexplicably asked for his grandson's marriage, which is already incredible enough, and what is even more unexpected is that the other party is still that waste. The old guy said that Jun Aotian went to the cold palace with Xin, and it seems that he has to find a time to ask Xin. But then again, I haven't seen Alina in ten years, so I don't know how she's doing now. She's made a big mistake, and that's the only way I'm going to save her life, I just hope she doesn't blame me. Ivan suddenly felt a little upset, and simply put aside the government affairs now.

Ivan, who came to the door, took a deep breath, the weather in March was already a little hot. Looking up at the fiery sun in the sky, Ivan walked slowly along the path through the garden. In the past ten years, he has deliberately not thought about Alina's mother and daughter, and even the title of the ninth princess has been specially replaced by an orphan girl. He did all this just to seal Elina and Xue Xichen in the depths of his memory. It can be said that Ivan has been very successful over the years, and even when he first heard Xue Xi, it took a long time to remember who this person was. But today's words from Marshal Jun reminded Ivan of everything related to Alina and Xuexi. Ivan doesn't have a deep memory of Xuexi, and the only thing he remembers is probably the scene of the talent test. But feelings for Alina Ivan are complicated. These feelings are so complicated that Ivan feels a headache just thinking about it.

However, Ivan soon let go of the complicated thoughts in his heart, and also had his own considerations for the old marshal's courtship of Ivan. Ivan doesn't like the Jun family, in fact, this is also related to Alina. When Ivan sat on the throne, he ordered an attack on the Duchy of Tianlin, intending to forcibly marry Alina. The Jun family is the only family that dares to stand up against it at this time. At that time, Ivan had just ascended to the throne, and it was when the limelight was in full swing, but the Jun family repeatedly disgraced him. Ivan naturally had a grudge against the Jun family in his heart. However, the Jun family's status in the Silver Moon Empire is almost on par with the royal family, and even among the commoners, the prestige of the Jun family faintly surpasses that of the royal family. Even Ivan didn't dare to provoke the Jun family easily, and Ivan also seriously considered the gains and losses of this marriage. He felt that it was necessary for him to have a good chat with Xue Xi in a few days. Ivan also hopes to rely on this marriage to bind the Jun family and the royal family more closely.

Xue Xi sat in the yard with nothing to do and fiddled with the Xuan Qin, but for some reason Xiao Xue Xi always felt that the Xuan Qin was not simple. Taking advantage of the fact that there is nothing to do now, Xue Xi simply studied this Xuanqi qin. It's just that after studying for a long time, Xue Xi hasn't been able to come up with any clues. Eh, if only my consciousness could still work. Xue Xi suddenly sighed. Xue Xi's sea of knowledge has inexplicably closed itself since refining the Heavenly Punishment, Xue Xi once checked it, but gave up because she had no clue. Fortunately, until now, Xue Xi didn't feel anything wrong or uncomfortable about herself, and Xue Xi put this matter aside for the time being. At this moment, the door of the small courtyard was knocked on. Xue Xi looked up in the direction of the courtyard gate suspiciously, the sound continued, and there was a posture that the people inside kept filming without opening the door. Xue Xi frowned slightly, stood up from the stone table and walked towards the courtyard gate. Xue Xi opened the courtyard door and saw a bunch of guards standing outside, which was a standard patrol team. Xue Xi slammed open the courtyard door, and the guard who knocked on the door outside didn't stop for a while, and continued to knock down stupidly. Xue Xi raised her hand a little displeased to line up the man's arm, but the force was a little bigger, and the guard was slapped by Xue Xi and held his arm and grinned there in pain, his face was full of cold sweat.
