Chapter 649: Marriage for Ye Xiaohu
Ye Xiaohu nodded subconsciously and suddenly felt a huge pressure.
Wei Zheng did not treat Ye Xiaohu well at all and continued to put pressure on him, saying, "I only have this precious granddaughter. I don't know how many nobles and royal relatives in the capital have lined up to ask for my granddaughter's hand in marriage, but I didn't agree."
"Today, I am here to tell you clearly that if you want to marry my granddaughter, you must have a strong background, otherwise there is no point in talking!"
Wei Ziyuan looked at Ye Xiaohu expectantly and tugged at his sleeve, hinting at something.
Faced with Wei Zheng's coercion, the mother's expectant eyes and the little self-esteem in her heart for the sake of her beloved were slowly torn apart.
After a brief hesitation, Ye Xiaohu completely let go of his shame, kowtowed, and whispered: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I, Ye Xiaohu, am willing to worship you as my foster father! And please help me propose to Miss Wei!"
Wei Zheng and others all smiled knowingly when they saw this.
I didn't expect Ye Xiaohu to be so obedient. It's true that beauty is a disaster!
Qin Hao sat on the chair and said with a teasing tone, "You kid, you didn't even call me foster father, and you still want me to propose marriage to you?"
"Ask your mother to tell you, does this make sense?"
Ye suddenly felt anxious. She frowned and said with a hint of regret: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and pay your respects to His Majesty and call him foster father!"
Ye Xiaohu felt a little embarrassed, his face flushed red, and he hesitated again and again: "Godfather... Godfather!"
After he finished shouting, he comforted himself in his heart that he did not feel at a disadvantage or embarrassed to acknowledge the emperor as his godfather!
"Yes, Not Bad!"
Qin Hao laughed out loud. It was a good thing that he adopted such a brave young man as his adopted son today!
"Old Wei, Ye Xiaohu is now my adopted son, and his status is no longer a problem. Do you think we can finalize the engagement?"
For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to Wei Zheng.
Especially Ye Xiaohu and Wei Ziyuan, their eyes almost popped out of their heads and they looked expectant.
Wei Zheng was a shrewd man. He looked around and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, since you have said this, I will not embarrass him any more."
"However, if you want to marry off your granddaughter, I have one condition!"
Qin Hao nodded and pretended to be puzzled: "Tell me what I mean. I am not an unreasonable person, so I will not force you to buy or sell anything. Just speak boldly."
Wei Zheng glanced at Ye Xiaohu and said, "Your Majesty, although Ye Xiaohu is your adopted son, and I just agreed to this marriage, but I have no official position, and I will inevitably be laughed at by other colleagues in the court."
"So, I have no other request, as long as he can gain military merit through his own efforts."
"If he is just your adopted son and is lazy, arrogant and conceited, then I will not trust him with my granddaughter."
"In short, if you want to be the grandson-in-law of my Wei family, you must show some achievements and do something like a human being! This condition is not too much, right?"
Qin Hao smiled slightly, pretending to think, "Lord Wei, what you said makes sense!"
"But Ye Xiaohu has not made any achievements yet. What should I do? How about I wait until he has made military achievements and then come to propose marriage. What do you think?"
Ye Xiaohu's face turned green when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "No, godfather!"
"I...I will definitely work hard and will never let you and Lord Wei down. Can we get engaged first and get married after I have made some achievements in the army?"
As he said this, he looked at Mu and humbly said, "Mother, please help me, I can't live without Yuan'er!"
When Ye heard this, her pretty face instantly turned red, and she thought to herself, how can you let me help you?
She couldn't help but look up at Qin Hao, as if he was the backbone of her and her mother.
At this time, Wei Ziyuan also knelt down and begged, "Your Majesty, Grandpa, Ye Xiaohu and I are truly in love, please give him a chance to be happy."
"I believe he will not let you down."
Madam Wei quickly pulled Wei Ziyuan aside and whispered, "Say less! Your grandfather is doing this for your own good. Your father and I both mean this. Otherwise, Ye Xiaohu should just give up! I don't want you to suffer with him!"
When Ye Xiaohu heard what Mrs. Wei said, he became even more anxious.
"Godfather, you have to make the decision for me! As long as you arrange this marriage for me, I promise to listen to you in everything from now on." He begged in a low voice, without any pride or stubbornness left in his eyes.
Qin Hao seemed to be almost frightened. He glanced at Ye Xiaohu and said calmly, "Xiaohu, do you really mean what you said? You must obey me in everything from now on. What if you regret it?"
"No, godfather!"
Ye Xiaohu raised his hand and swore: "If I, Ye Xiaohu, dare not listen to my foster father, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"
Seeing this, Qin Hao thought that if he didn't make this marriage happen, God would probably blame him.
He looked at Wei Zheng and said slowly, "Old Wei, my adopted son marrying your granddaughter is not a disgrace to your Wei family, right?"
"Your Majesty, what are you saying? How can such a good thing be humiliated?" Wei Zheng immediately bowed and said with a smile.
Qin Hao nodded and said, "If that's the case, then why not do this? They already love each other, so let's not break them up."
"In two days, your two families can arrange a marriage for the two of them, so that Ye Xiaohu will not have to worry about the future. When he has made achievements in the army, we can choose a date for the wedding. What do you think?"
Ye Xiaohu and Wei Ziyuan looked at Wei Zheng, hoping that he would agree.
Wei Zheng thought for a moment before agreeing and saying, "Your Majesty has the final say on this matter."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaohu and Wei Ziyuan burst into tears of joy and almost lost control of their emotions.
"Thank you, godfather! Thank you, godfather!"
Ye Xiaohu kowtowed continuously, his eyes full of gratitude.
The matter was resolved perfectly, and Qin Hao did not forget to criticize him.
He pulled Ye Xiaohu up from the ground and said playfully, "Ye Xiaohu, although you are my adopted son, I have a clear distinction between public and private. This time you escaped from the military camp, which is a serious case. I must deal with it impartially. Do you have any objection?"
Ye Xiaohu scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Yes, godfather, I am willing to be punished!"
Qin Hao smiled and said, "Well, after you recover from your injuries, hurry back to Qilin Guard to receive your punishment."
"Yes!"
"…'
See this harmonious scene.
Ye was extremely excited and filled with emotion.
She found a chance when no one was around, came in front of Qin Hao, knelt down with a plop, her beautiful eyes filled with tears.
"What are you doing?" Qin Hao reached out to help her.
Unexpectedly, she was unwilling to get up, and kowtowed in gratitude, saying: "I want to thank your majesty for your kindness. If it weren't for you, this marriage would not have been possible, and even Xiaohu would not have been able to leave the Wei Mansion safely."
"When drinking water, one should remember the kindness of digging the spring. Our Ye family will never forget it!"
"If Ye Xiaohu can achieve something in the future, I will definitely do my best to repay your majesty's kindness!"
She insisted on kowtowing, otherwise she would feel guilty.
