The emperor raised a toast to celebrate the army. The soldiers were very excited, and the emperor and his ministers were all happy for a while.
It was the first time for Xiao Qi to participate in such a banquet, so he was a little nervous. However, after half a year of training on the border, he had become more mature and steady, and his emotions and anger were invisible. Outsiders could not see anything unusual.
The emperor's peripheral vision kept falling on him. After looking at him for a few times, he didn't know whether it was similar to the mentality of "mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law". The more he looked at him, the more he felt that Xiao Qi was not bad.
Thinking of this, he was about to ask about Xiao Qi's situation when he saw his precious princess looking towards Xiao Qi and smiling at Xiao Qi.
emperor:"……"
Haha, what the hell, why is this Xiao Qi?
None of his princesses have ever smiled like this at him!
Jealousy made him look beyond recognition, he didn't want to say anything anymore and just shut himself up.
He drank one cup after another, occasionally gouging Xiao Qi with his knife-like eyes.
How could Xiao Qi not notice it, but that was his future father-in-law and the emperor. What could he say, he could only endure it for the time being and wait until the reception banquet was over before finding a chance to have a good chat with the emperor.
Thinking about this, he began to worry about what the emperor would do if he drank too much and became drunk.
Thinking of this, he suddenly raised his glass and said: "Although fine wine is good, Your Majesty should put your health first and drink less to please yourself. Drunkness will harm your health. I drank this glass of wine for Your Majesty."
The emperor twitched his lips and looked at him coldly, wondering in what capacity do you drink for him? It’s so beautiful that you’re bubbling over.
Xiao Qi drank it all in one gulp, then sat down without saying anything else. Others looked at him teasingly and were about to persuade him to drink. The noble and beautiful eldest princess suddenly spoke, "What General Xiao said is absolutely true, everyone." It's better to drink less, so as not to feel uncomfortable when you get up tomorrow. Send an order from me to the imperial kitchen to prepare sobering soup, and everyone will drink a bowl in a while."
She looked at the emperor and smiled slightly, her face more dazzling than the jewelry on her head, "Father, you should also drink some, so that you can sleep well at night."
emperor:"……"
"Okay, okay, I listen to you."
He couldn't help but laugh.
[Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at your worthless look. 】
[This emperor, I don’t even know what to say about him. He is really a scumbag, but he is kind to his daughter. Hey, people are really complicated. 】
[Who says it’s not the case? He still has a bit of a funny temperament at the moment. It’s been a boring night and all the laughter is on him. 】
When the soldiers saw that the eldest princess was so talkative, they looked at Xiao Qi with a bit of jealousy. What kind of bad luck did this boy have that he was attracted by the eldest princess?
Fortunately, Xiao Qi is really capable. In the past six months, everyone on the border has been convinced of him, and the general has also praised him. His future is limitless, and jealousy is temporary. When they come to their senses, they will rush to fight with Xiao Qi. It’s too late to have a relationship, but that’s a story for another day.
The atmosphere in the second half of the reception banquet was lively and everyone was very happy. At the end, there were still some unfinished things to say.
The emperor stood up to leave, but Xiao Qi suddenly stopped in front of him, knelt down and said, "I have something to say to your majesty. I beg your majesty to give me this opportunity."
The emperor's heart tightened, it's coming, it's coming.
He subconsciously looked at Lou Jinhuan, who nodded, "It just so happens that I also have something to say to my father."
The emperor pursed his lips and said, "Follow me to the imperial study."
"yes."
Lou Jinhuan helped Xiao Qi up, and they followed the emperor to the imperial study.
The lights in the imperial study were brightly lit. As soon as the emperor entered, he dismissed the people waiting on the left and right. There were only three of them inside. The emperor sat on the main seat and pressed his eyebrows, "What do you want to say?"
Although he already knew, he still asked.
Xiao Qi lifted up the hem of his robe and knelt down. With a solemn expression, he said in a sonorous voice: "I want to marry Princess Rong'an. I beg your majesty to grant it!"
As he spoke, he kowtowed directly to the ground and made a muffled sound.
The emperor did not answer immediately, but turned to look at Lou Jinhuan.
Lou Jinhuan also knelt down, with his back straight: "Father, I have said before that my sweetheart is Xiao Qi. I must have him in this life. Because of his identity, we were not together before. Now that he has made a triumphant return, do you still think he is unworthy?"
The emperor was speechless when he asked this question. He really felt that Xiao Qi was unworthy before, but later he had a cold war with his daughter for so long, and her attitude did not soften at all, so he stopped insisting. Today, Xiao Qi came to propose marriage in person, and he also He expected it.
He sighed and said, "Can I still stop you now?"
Lou Jinhuan and Xiao Qi looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.
The emperor took out an imperial edict from one side and rushed to the building and said happily: "Take a look."
Lou Jinhuan stood up and took the imperial edict. When he unfolded it, it was no surprise that it was a marriage edict and even granted the title of Xiao Qi.
Lou Jinhuan showed Xiao Qi the imperial edict, and Xiao Qi said excitedly: "I would like to thank your Majesty for your kindness. I have won your pearl, and I will never dare to lose it!"
"Remember what you said today. If you make Huan'er unhappy or betray Huan'er in the future, I will let you die with no body intact!"
The emperor's eyes were cold and murderous, and he knew at a glance that he was not joking.
Xiao Qi said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I only want to stay with the princess for the rest of my life."
The emperor snorted and turned to look at Lou Jinhuan. Lou Jinhuan rarely gave him a gentle smile without any other emotions, "Father, don't worry, I know what to do, and I won't let you." Even if I am wronged, I will not wrong my consort."
As soon as she leaned over, the emperor immediately stood up and helped her up, holding her hand, with tears glistening in his eyes, "As long as you are happy, I have nothing else to ask for. I will let Qintian Prison choose a good life." , the wedding of my beloved daughter must be grand and grand!"
"Thank you, Father." Lou Jinhuan smiled slightly.
The emperor saw it in his eyes and was finally completely relieved.
…
The wedding date of Princess Rong'an and Marquis Zhongyong is scheduled for August 16th, just one day after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
On that day, the streets of Kyoto were empty, and the whole city was celebrating. Ten miles of red makeup lined up from the palace to the eldest princess' mansion, making others envious.
The emperor himself sat in the hall, and the princes stood on both sides to watch the ceremony. The grandeur of the ceremony was unparalleled.
It can be seen that Princess Rong'an is favored.
Xiao Ning stood next to the princess, watching Xiao Qi and Lou Jinhuan coming with red silk, her eyes instantly turned red, her brother and sister-in-law had finally achieved enlightenment.
With tears in her eyes, she watched the two of them pay homage and receive congratulations from everyone, and then returned to the new house. She was too smart to follow them and went to greet the guests for drinks.
The new house is filled with red, the dragon and phoenix wedding candles are lit high, and the house is brightly lit.
Xiao Qi took off Lou Jinhuan's hijab and took a breath, unable to look away again.
"A moment of spring is worth a thousand pieces of gold, sir, how much longer do you want to watch?" Lou Jinhuan smiled, and Xiao Qi's blood seemed to be ignited instantly, and his whole body became hot.
With his Adam's apple rolling, he said with difficulty: "I won't read anymore. Let's have a drink."
