After hearing this, Bai Han felt silent in his heart.
The emperor was right. The Tang Dynasty had one queen and three concubines. With Feng Xiaoyue's intelligence, even if she couldn't become the queen, the concubines would have no difficulty.
What's more, Fang Jun didn't get any fame, he was just a commoner. Relying on the merits of his ancestor Fang Zheng, he might be able to survive for a while, but he couldn't last a lifetime.
But Bai Han really couldn't open his mouth.
But using people's money to eliminate disasters, since you can't do this job, you have to find a way to do it.
At this time, Feng Pengju's family had already started dinner. Strictly speaking, they started drinking. With a sumptuous banquet and a pot of old wine, Feng Pengju's uneasy heart could finally calm down.
Feng Xiaoyue raised her wine glass and said with a smile, "Daddy is back safely. Xiaoyue will propose a toast to you first."
Fang Jun next to him quickly raised his wine glass, clinked the three wine glasses together and drank them all in one gulp.
After drinking this glass, Feng Pengju raised his glass with a smile and looked at the two of them.
"Once you settle down, it will be my wish to hold a wedding for you two as soon as possible."
Fang Jun hurriedly stood up, raised his wine glass, and said to Feng Pengju, "Thank you, uncle."
Feng Pengju was not in a hurry to drink, but sighed slightly, "Well, I had already agreed on the marriage with your father. Who would have thought that he would die young, which makes me feel uncomfortable every time I think about it."
When this topic was brought up, the atmosphere on the table became somewhat silent.
At this moment, a servant suddenly ran in hurriedly, "Master Qi, a group of people came outside, saying they were sent by the emperor."
Feng Pengju quickly put down his chopsticks and led Feng Xiaoyue and Fang Jun out to greet him.
When I got to the gate, I saw Bai Han dismounting his horse.
Bai Han jumped off his horse, laughed and came forward to Feng Peng, raising his hands and saying, "Master Feng, you are back. We are talking about you every day."
Feng Peng came forward, held Bai Han's arms, and said affectionately, "White Tiger Guard, thank you for your concern. Fortunately, my old bones can withstand the wind and snow at the border."
After saying that, the two looked at each other and laughed.
After laughing, Bai Han pointed to a few carriages behind him, "Your Majesty heard that you were back and was very happy. I sent you some food and clothing. If you think there is anything missing in the house, just send someone to follow. I'll tell you."
Feng Pengju was quite moved and took Bai Han's arm, "Guard Bai is interested, please come in and invite us."
After saying that, he pulled Bai Han and walked inside.
Returning to the living room, Feng Xiaoyue served tea and stood behind her father as usual, while Bai Han looked around and talked about other things.
Feng Pengju was also an understanding person. He understood and waved his hand towards Feng Xiaoyue.
"Go and prepare two more dishes, and I'll have a drink with Guard Bai."
Of course, Feng Xiaoyue understood what was going on. She winked at Fang Jun, and the two of them got up and left, taking the maid next to them with them.
After everyone had left, Bai Han raised his fist towards Feng Peng and said, "I have been ordered by the emperor to give you a message in advance. You should think about it in advance."
Feng Pengju hurried back and saluted, "Brother Bai, just say whatever you want."
Bai Han sighed, "The emperor wants to grant a marriage to Miss Xiaoyue. He wants her to marry His Highness the Crown Prince. He also said that after the Crown Prince ascends the throne, he will at least be a noble concubine, and he might even be able to become a queen."
After hearing this, Feng Pengju was stunned. "Guard Bai, you should know that my daughter and Fang Jun have been engaged for a long time. At that time, everyone in the capital knew about it."
Bai Han nodded, "Yes, the daughter of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance and the grandson of the former prime minister have been married for hundreds of years. Naturally, everyone knows about it, but now the emperor..."
Speaking of this, Bai Han also sighed slightly. Feng Pengju also understood that Bai Han was here to give him a message and also to test his tone.
Thinking of this, he spread his hands and pretended to be helpless, "You saw it just now, the two children have already..."
As he spoke, he shook his head slightly, "Even if I want to stop it, it's too late..."
Bai Han didn't say anything. He picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp. Then he stood up and said, "Master Feng, I'll take my leave then."
After sending Bai Han away, Feng Pengju was a little unhappy. He knew the emperor's character well. He asked himself to be the prime minister, and then came to propose marriage.
This is a bit impatient.
But as the saying goes, an arm cannot twist a thigh. Even if he wants to refuse, in the end if the emperor makes a strong decree, he may have to do it.
Seeing her father walking into the restaurant worriedly, Feng Xiaoyue knew that the topic just now must be a bit heavy, but in front of Fang Jun, she couldn't ask it.
Fang Jun obviously noticed that Feng Pengju was in a bad mood. He ate a few mouthfuls of food and stood up to leave.
After seeing Fang Jun leave, Feng Peng raised his chopsticks and let out a long sigh.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? But what bad news did Guard Bai bring?"
Feng Pengju looked at his daughter and sighed heavily again.
"That's all, I'd better tell you this. You can make up your own mind about where to go."
After hearing what her father said, Feng Xiaoyue was stunned. She looked at her father in surprise and asked in confusion, "Does dad have anything to do with me?"
Feng Pengju nodded, "It has something to do with you, and it has a lot to do with it."
Seeing Feng Xiaoyue's surprised look, he continued, "Guard Bai came to me just now and told me that the emperor wants to grant a marriage to you and His Highness the Crown Prince."
After hearing this, Feng Xiaoyue was shocked, "How is this possible? The whole city knows what happened between me and Brother Jun. Besides, the prince has at least married two concubines."
Feng Pengju also sighed helplessly, "Yes, what you said is right, but the emperor just asked Bai Han to deliver the message, alas..."
After sighing, he looked at Feng Xiaoyue and his expression became firm.
"How about you and Fang Jun go away, find a place where no one knows you, and live the rest of your life in peace."
Feng Xiaoyue shook her head, "If I don't leave, I won't marry the prince. Why should my marriage be decided by others?" After hearing Feng Xiaoyue's words, Feng Pengju's eyes were full of approval and he nodded slightly.
"He is a good son of my Feng family who has backbone."
"But my son, you have to know that there is a saying that an arm cannot twist a thigh."
"If the emperor wants to force a marriage and we don't comply, that would be disobedience, which is another serious crime."
"Dad is an old man. At worst, he will have to work at the border for a few more years, but you are still young..."
After saying that, did Feng Pengju stop here? He had already said everything he needed to say. Feng Xiaoyue would naturally decide what to do. Of course, no matter what choice his daughter made to be a father, she would fully support her.
