When Meng Guxue heard this, her hands trembled and her heart almost jumped out!
The next moment, Baili Chengyou's clear voice rang out.
"His Majesty Yong Huang, I would like to marry your country and work together to build the good of our two countries. What do you think?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the venue had different expressions.
The second princess felt nervous and quickly covered her pale face while drinking tea.
She didn't want to get married, but as a princess, this was also her unshirkable responsibility.
If her father really wanted her to marry him later, she would not dare to complain at all, but... there was too much reluctance...
The third prince clenched his hands, turned to look at the second princess, and then looked at the seat next to him.
He also heard the rumors outside the palace yesterday.
Prince Baili...should already have a favorite candidate for marriage.
Emperor Yong's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, and he nodded directly the next moment.
"Since your country has such good intentions, I am naturally happy to see it come to fruition."
Seeing that Emperor Yong agreed, Qiao Jiaojiao hurriedly looked at Shen Yuanbai's face.
Before he could sit down, his steps suddenly stopped, his eyebrows lowered, as if he was thinking about something.
At this moment, Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help feeling nervous.
[Will the second prince take action? I have to say that the current situation is really unfavorable to him. 】
[It is reasonable and reasonable for Baili Chengyou to propose marriage on this occasion. If the second prince wants to compete with Meng Guxue, he can only ask Emperor Yong for a marriage. 】
[But today is the Longevity Festival, and there are envoys from the two countries present. It would be too abrupt and inappropriate for the second prince to propose marriage rashly. 】
[However, if he didn't fight for it, Emperor Yong would definitely allow Meng Guxue to follow Baili Chengyou to Nanli Kingdom. 】
[Now, let’s see how valuable Meng Guxue is in the second prince’s mind, and whether it’s worth taking the risk! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao's thoughts had just reached this point when she suddenly heard Shen Yuanbai's cold voice.
"Father, since there is such a good thing ahead of us, can I also ask for a favor from my father and make a couple of good things come true?"
Qiao Jiaojiao: "..."
[This reason is really blunt. The male protagonist probably said it bravely...]
[It seems that Meng Guxue’s trump card is not only poetry, otherwise the male protagonist may not be willing to take this risk! 】
As soon as Shen Yuanbai said this, everyone's eyes suddenly fell on him.
The prince raised his eyes slightly, he did not expect this.
Asking for grace at such an inappropriate time is not at all like the second brother's style.
In such a hurry to say it before Prince Baili, what does the second brother want to ask for?
Shouldn't...
The prince's eyes turned slightly and suddenly fell on Meng Guxue who was sitting next to him.
At the same moment, 10,000 minds were flying in the hall, and the next moment, almost all the spirits in the room reacted.
This... this is really unexpected!
Emperor Yong raised his eyebrows and looked down at his second son.
Shen Yuanbai looked calm and allowed Emperor Yong to look at him without flinching.
Now that you have spoken, this move must be made. Not only that, it must be done beautifully and perfectly!
Thinking of this, Shen Yuanbai bowed slightly and said seriously and sincerely:
"Father, my son is naughty, young and ignorant, and has unintentionally offended the Sacred Heart. He has been deeply reflecting and regretting his mistakes for the past year."
"The clan house is lonely and cold, but I have survived the Mid-Autumn Festival and the New Year's Eve. I know that I have made mistakes and deserve punishment, and I have no complaints."
"Only when my long life is approaching, I am terrified. I am afraid that I will not be able to congratulate my father in person. I am afraid that the world will think that I am unfaithful and unfilial."
"My father's ability to allow my son to leave the clan's residence temporarily shows my loyalty and filial piety. I cannot express my admiration and gratitude in my heart."
"Father, at this moment, I will never change my behavior."
Having said this, the second prince raised his head and stared at Emperor Yong, as if the words were deep in his words, and his eyes were red when his love became so strong.
"However, there was no news in the Zongren Mansion this year. It was not until just now that I heard that Prince Baili praised Miss Meng's family at the poetry meeting yesterday."
"Father, I dare not hide this from you. During last year's Dragon Boat Festival, I was impressed by Miss Meng's talents and admired her so much. I was afraid that the person Prince Baili wanted today would also be Miss Meng, so I spoke rashly."
"My son is a dull man. He has a virtuous and talented elder brother, and a heroic and enterprising younger brother. What's more, my identity... Identity..."
Shen Yuanbai glanced at the Northern Mission in a panic, his face full of forbearance and cowardice. He closed his eyes for a moment, and then spoke with relief after a long while:
"My son knows that it is difficult for him to ascend to the royal palace, so he only hopes that Cheng Huan will be at the knees of his father, and he will be loyal and filial. Once he has a close friend, he can live a stable life, and then he will be satisfied."
"I am here to ask my father to please allow me to marry Miss Meng as my wife and grant me the title of second prince's concubine!"
After Shen Yuanbai finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Emperor Yong.
There was suddenly no sound in the hall.
The second prince's words were sincere and seemed to come from the heart. Even the people in the room couldn't tell how true or false they were.
Everyone subconsciously looked at Meng Guxue, but unfortunately she kept her head lowered and couldn't see her expression clearly.
But beside Meng Guxue, the completely different reactions of Meng's father and Meng's mother made everyone deeply interested.
Father Meng's face was glowing red, he was flattered, and he seemed eager to agree immediately.
Meng's mother looked frightened, her face turned pale, and she was obviously very worried.
Emperor Yong looked at his second son who was bowing his head on the ground, his eyes were deep and the meaning was difficult to understand.
These words were so beautiful that he could almost imagine the scene of the second child being alone in the clan mansion when the family was reunited.
Does my son, who considers himself dull but extremely intelligent, really realize his mistake?
Baili Chengyou who was on the side listened to Shen Yuanbai's words quietly, and it was only then that he slowly raised the corners of his mouth.
He carefully inquired about Shen Yuanbai's every move, and he was certain that Shen Yuanbai had never had a precognitive dream.
But now that he cares so much about Meng Guxue, it can be seen that he must have discovered Meng Guxue's extraordinaryness from some clues.
Very good, it would be interesting to argue like this...
Thinking of this, Baili Chengyou took a step forward and said with a smile accompanied by the pleasant sound of bells:
"Your Majesty Yong Huang, by coincidence, the person I want to marry is none other than Miss Meng from your country."
"But there is only one Miss Meng. Now... what should we do?"
Everyone: "..."
What is supposed to come has come!
Qiao Jiaojiao looked at Meng Guxue who lowered her head all of a sudden. Even she didn't know what the next step would be.
[Meng Guxue, Meng Guxue, you have always wanted to be rich and powerful, and you want to be a master among people. Now you can be regarded as benevolent and benevolent. 】
[But now, there are two "jackals" standing in front of you. What will you choose? 】
