I don't know if Yan Junuo will take Xie Suxian's words to heart, but now, Xu Qingmo is jealous on the court.
In the final game, Xu Qingmo and Xu Yanquan teamed up, and Meng Hetong and Xie Suyu teamed up. The score was closely pursued, and the cheers from the audience became increasingly enthusiastic.
"Meng Hetong, why are you working so hard today as if you were given a shot of chicken blood?" The Queen was a little surprised.
You must know that the Meng Hetong he usually sees looks lazy most of the time. Even when he is practicing, he is only lightly guided. It is rare to see him working so hard like today.
"Maybe you really want the prize prepared by the Queen!" The palace man said with a smile, "If the Dongzhu worn by the Queen during her coronation is used as a betrothal gift, any girl from any family will be extremely excited!"
The Queen thought about it carefully: "That makes sense! But so is Xu Qingmo. A girl's family is on par with a boy like Meng Hetong. She really deserves to be the daughter of Marquis Ningyuan!"
Xu Qingmo on the court couldn't hear what the Queen said. She only had Meng Hetong in front of her right now, and no matter what she said, it was impossible for his ball to pass in front of her eyes.
But after playing for several hours, Xu Qingmo's physical strength was a little weak. Compared with boys, daughters' families are inevitably poorer in terms of endurance.
Xu Qingmo's breathing was already a little unsteady. He looked at Meng Hetong who was rushing towards him. He wanted to intercept it, but he was a little unable. The club he hit broke with a flick of the force, and she also suffered from the damage caused by the breakage of the club. The inertia was thrown out directly.
"Xu Qingmo!"
"Momo!"
Almost at the same time, Meng Hetong and Xu Yanquan ran towards Xu Qingmo.
Meng Hetong and Xu Yanquan caught Xu Qingmo at the same time. Each of them held one side and let Xu Qingmo land firmly on the ground.
At this moment, Xie Suyu slowly scored the ball into Xu Qingmo's goal, and the timing hourglass also stopped at this time.
"The red side wins!"
Meng Hetong and Xie Suyu narrowly won by one point.
The two people who won the lottery walked up to the queen. The queen looked at the two people with some helplessness: "There is only one Dongzhu. You two have agreed on who should get it?"
"My son is just keeping me company. This bonus is for Meng Hetong!" Xie Suyu said with a smile.
The queen immediately understood that Meng Hetong was here for the Dongzhu. Most likely, he already had a sweetheart and wanted the Dongzhu as a betrothal gift!
The palace man came with the Dongzhu and walked to Meng Hetong: "Hou Yongchang!"
Meng Hetong looked at the brocade box and opened it carefully, revealing an Dongzhu the size of a child's fist placed in it.
"This is the dongzhu I wore when I was crowned Queen. Your Majesty personally selected it for me when I was young. I don't know whose girl it is that makes you play polo so hard, just for this. An Eastern Pearl." The Queen looked at Meng Hetong with a half-smile, "Could it be that our Yongchang Marquis has given up?"
Meng Hetong's face was slightly red. He looked at the Queen for a long time, then knelt down on one knee: "I, I want to ask the Queen for a favor!"
The queen was a little surprised: "Oh? Do you want to hear it?"
"I would like to ask the queen to draft a marriage document for me!" Meng Hetong looked at the queen and said word by word.
The queen raised her eyebrows slightly, with surprise on her face: "Marriage certificate?"
Meng Hetong turned around and glanced at Xu Qingmo, who was fighting towards him not far away, and said quickly: "I beg the Queen to grant me a marriage to Xu Qingmo, the legitimate daughter of Ningyuan Hou Mansion!"
When Xu Qingmo reached the edge, Meng Hetong's words had already been spoken.
As soon as Meng Hetong finished speaking, the prince Xie Suxian who was sitting next to him suddenly stood up, and the tea cup in front of him broke to the ground.
Yan Junuo suddenly grabbed Xie Suxian's hand: "Your Highness!"
Xie Suxian came back to her senses and sat down slowly, holding her hands tightly by her side.
The queen glanced at Xie Suxian, then turned her gaze to Xu Qingmo aside, and couldn't help but smile: "Tell me, do I promise you, or do I not promise you?"
Meng Hetong looked at the queen, facing the danger of a knife flying behind her at any time, and said word by word: "I have admired the legitimate daughter of the Marquis Ningyuan for a long time, and I would like to marry the legitimate daughter of the Xu family as the head wife of the Marquis of Yongchang. I sincerely ask the Queen to be a great matchmaker for my subjects!"
Standing outside the crowd, Xu Qingmo's ears instantly turned red. He never thought that since Meng Hetong dared to propose marriage directly in front of the queen, he caught her off guard.
Xie Suyu glanced at the queen and understood that the queen had no way to directly agree to the marriage right now. After all, marriages in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion would often involve government affairs: "You don't even ask the girl if she is willing. You just went to my mother to ask for your hand in marriage?"
"It's impossible for me to agree to you so rashly. I still have to ask the Xu family what they want. If they nod, I will naturally be the matchmaker for you." The queen hurriedly walked down the steps.
What Meng Hetong wanted was for him to make the matter of proposing marriage to the Xu family obvious. He knew about this matter in the first place and would not let the queen agree so easily. Now this result is what she wants. The best result yet.
Meng Hetong thanked the queen and ran away with Dongzhu. Others didn't know why, but Xie Suyu was already smiling and bending down. After all, he saw from a distance that Xu Yanquan took out his long sword. He was sharpening his knife, ready to kill Meng Hetong, this ungrateful old man.
After Meng Hetong left, Xie Suxian sat there, his face becoming a little ugly. He looked down at the bowl of freshly brewed tea in front of him, his eyes a little dull.
Yan Junuo bit her lower lip and comforted her: "Your Highness, Marquis Yongchang has been romantically involved for many years, Marquis Ningyuan will not agree to this marriage..."
"So what if Marquis Ning Yuan disagrees? After all, she is not that little girl who has not yet reached the age of marriage! There are many girls in the family, and I missed it after all!" Xie Suxian smiled bitterly.
Yan Junuo looked at Xie Suxian's devastated look, but she felt more disgust in her heart. Xie Suxian's persistence towards Xu Qingmo was so clearly displayed in front of her, and it was clear that he was putting his face and self-esteem on the line. Step on the ground.
But even so, Yan Junuo still had to constantly comfort Xie Suxian, comforting his heart that was about to lose his love. How sad?
As for Xu Qingmo, it was rare that he did not pursue Meng Hetong, but returned directly to the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion without making a sound, and rode back directly without even waiting for Zhengyang.
After returning to the house, he didn't say anything and went straight into the yard, refusing to see anyone.
