Gu Yichen clenched his fists, thinking of the instructions given to him at home before entering the palace, he couldn't bear to say a word.
Princess Yanling looked anxious. Just now she was embarrassed to take care of her family because she was about to get married, but now she no longer had time to take care of her. She glanced at Gu Yichen and Lin Jinyan worriedly.
Both Pingnan and Yeliang were watching the show with great joy.
The Gu and Lin families remained silent, and for a moment the sound of a needle dropping could be heard in the hall.
The emperor smiled and said: "General Gu, what do you think of Xiao Zhengzhi's words?"
Gu Hongzhang stood up holding the table, cupped his fists and saluted:
"Old minister... Your Majesty alone makes the decision."
Just as Gu Yichen was about to get up, he was held down by Gu Ruizhou beside him and whispered:
"Sit still, Your Majesty will not agree."
The emperor looked at Gu Hongzhang, a trace of satisfaction flashed between his brows, and then looked at Lin Yanqing:
"Master, what do you think?"
Lin Yanqing was thinking about it, and just then Lin Jinan came forward to whisper, then stood up and said:
"Leave it to Your Majesty to decide."
"Father! I have something to say!"
Before the emperor could speak, Chu Chengyao stood up quickly to interrupt, lifted up his clothes and knelt in the middle:
"Father, the Mobei and Dingbei armies have been fighting for many years and have deep grievances. Miss Lin is a prostitute and is weak. She will definitely suffer when she marries to Mobei. She may even lose her life. Please think twice."
Xiao Chen stood up again: "Don't worry, Your Highness, Prince Jin. The fact that Mobei can offer such a sincere betrothal gift shows that he is sincerely seeking marriage, and he will definitely not let Miss Lin suffer at all."
Chu Chengyao hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said loudly:
"Actually...actually...Miss Lin is actually a woman I have admired for many years! Many years ago, I picked up a handkerchief and kept it as a fate. It was not until a few days ago that I learned that the handkerchief belonged to Miss Lin. I didn't want to As soon as I learned that I was about to see her marry far away, I really couldn't bear it, so I would like to use my position as Princess Jin to marry Miss Lin, and ask my father for permission."
After speaking, Chu Chengyao folded his hands, touched the back of his hands with his head, and made a big salute.
Hearing this, Yue Mingzhu quickly raised her eyes to look at Lin Jinyan, then lowered her eyes to cover her thoughts.
Under the signal from Qin Zongliang's eyes, the prince stood up and knelt beside Chu Chengyao:
"Father, although the second brother's veil does not belong to Miss Lin, he lied out of good intentions. I hope Father will not blame you. The Gu family has worked hard to defend Tianchu, and we can no longer send the descendants of the Gu family to Mobei to get married. I would like to use my position as the Crown Princess to marry Miss Lin, and I hope that my father will grant me permission."
The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes slightly and glanced at the Queen from the corner of her eye.
Chu Chengye also stood up and knelt on the other side of Chu Chengyao:
"Father, the Gu family has been protecting the family and the country for generations, so we cannot let such loyal ministers feel cold. I, as the concubine of King Qin, want to marry Miss Lin, and I ask for permission from my father."
After the prince got up, Chu Chengping roughly knew what Lin Jinyan wanted him to do, but he liked her sister!
When Chu Chengye stood up, Chu Chengyi motioned for Chu Chengping to go too. Seeing Chu Chengping shaking his head like a drum, Chu Chengyi whispered:
"She asked you to save her, not marry her, go!"
Chu Chengping stood up with his scalp numb, and knelt in a row with his three brothers:
"My son, as Princess Qi, is asking to marry... Taifu Lin's granddaughter. I beg my father's permission."
Storms gathered in the emperor's eyes, but the smile on his face remained unchanged:
"Hahaha, there are indeed hundreds of girls in the family asking for marriage. Xiaozhengshi, look, all my sons are attracted to her. I'm afraid the girl from the Lin family won't be able to marry in Mobei."
The queen smiled and said: "My wife originally wanted a princess. Princesses in the royal family are outstanding in everything. Xiao Zhengshi might as well see more of them."
