Chapter 118 I grew up listening to the stories of the general
The weather-beaten general in the hall could not hide his unyielding pride even when he was deliberately forced to bow and salute.
After patting the back of his hand on his wrist, Lu Xinran suddenly became energetic.
If the emperor insisted on playing like this, then she wouldn't be sleepy anymore.
Before everyone could react, she suddenly stood up, walked to Lu Jinchuan and bowed.
“Your Majesty, my sister and I grew up listening to General Qi’s military achievements. My adoptive mother once admired General Qi the most.
"If she were still alive, she would be very happy to know that my sister and I could become General Qi's family."
When Lu Xinlan saw her standing out, her heart instantly tightened. But when she heard her classic words, she lowered her head and adjusted her expression.
I have heard and seen this since I was a child, and it sounds like something from an elder.
If the emperor still has the nerve to grant them marriage, in front of his ministers and their families, he will lose all his face.
[Please grant the marriage quickly, General Qi is so kind. 】
[My sister’s family background must be not good enough. After all, the emperor openly disliked her for not being the legitimate daughter of the Lu family.]
[When arranging a marriage for his own son, he despised the woman's family background, but when arranging a marriage for General Qi, he thought she was qualified. With such double standards and arbitrary behavior, how can the court officials be convinced? ]
[General Qi fought bravely outside the Great Wall, fought for his country and his people, and risked his life. He went to the battlefield with his head on his shoulders, but the emperor was afraid of him and humiliated him by marrying him off to a younger generation whom he despised.]
[How many soldiers will be disheartened by this? Who will dare to charge into the battlefield without hesitation when a powerful enemy attacks in the future? ]
[As a military commander, you either die under the swords and guns of the enemy, or die under the suspicion and fear of the superiors. If this continues, who will dare to stand out and who will dare to ignore it? ]
[The emperor should be grateful to me. If I hadn't taken the initiative to stand up, he would have become a suspicious and intolerant tyrant today. ]
The more Lu Xinran thought about it, the more she felt that she had achieved many goals with this move. She was such a thoughtful and lovely person.
The emperor glared at him gloomily. Emperors have always been suspicious, so what was wrong with him having such thoughts?
In particular, the last thing Qi Yu should do is to think about the queen.
Who was he trying to show his love to for the queen, he never remarried for the sake of the queen!
The more the emperor thought about it, the uglier his expression became. His eyes swept across the blue bricks in the hall, and his attention was instantly drawn to another matter.
The distance between him and Lu Xinran is more than ten steps!
How can he hear it from such a distance?
He was surprised and suspicious, but Lu Xinran secretly glanced at the queen. Seeing that she kept her head down, as if whatever happened in the palace had nothing to do with her, she coughed lightly again.
"Your Majesty, I grew up listening to the general's battles and have admired him for a long time. I..."
"Today is a celebration banquet for General Qi and all the soldiers at the border. We can talk about other things later."
The emperor interrupted her without waiting for her to finish.
That thought made him seem suspicious no matter which youngster he pointed to Qi Yu today!
Intolerant!
Even if he had this idea, he could only wait a few days.
Moreover, he was now even more curious about why he could still hear her inner voice.
Seeing that he didn't mention it anymore, Lu Xinran felt a little disappointed. In her opinion, marrying Qi Yu was no worse than getting married for the sake of getting rich or being a widow.
Especially in the northwestern border cities, where people are open-minded, life there is definitely more comfortable and relaxed than in the capital.
When they returned to their seats, Qi Yu finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and glanced at her calmly.
This little girl... is so interesting.
Although she repeatedly said that she grew up listening to his stories, he was not narrow-minded and thought that she was looking down on him for being old.
The little girl said this probably to help him out. If the rescue failed, she seemed very satisfied with herself...
He just didn't understand why marrying him was like getting married for the sake of getting married or being a widow.
Her tone seemed full of anticipation and joy.
Qi Yu frowned slightly and sat back in his seat. For the first time, he truly realized that he was old and could not understand the thoughts of the younger people in Beijing.
With his back soaked, Lu Jinchuan carried Lu Xinran back to his seat.
For the first time, he discovered that although his granddaughter's actions were still a little unconventional, she was also quite quick-witted.
If it weren't for her "nagging", this matter today would definitely not have been resolved peacefully.
As a second-rank minister and a cabinet elder, he naturally saw and thought about more things than Lu Xinran.
Qi Yu was a general who had been stationed at the border for many years and his achievements were so great that they frightened the emperor.
No matter which girl he marries in the future, if something happens to him, the family he is related to will suffer.
He didn't want the Lu family to be involved in these disputes.
He now felt that it was a great thing that Lu Xinlan was not of the Lu family's bloodline.
The change happened quickly and ended quickly.
Those who were concerned saw what had just happened and had already made up their minds.
Tang Quyan glanced at his daughter who looked confused and had no idea what was going on, and worry welled up in his heart.
If the emperor had the intention of arranging a marriage for Qi Yu, he would probably bring up the matter again within a few days.
He and the worried Liu looked at each other, and both of them wanted to find a husband for their daughter immediately.
There are many families who have this idea.
Zhao, who had just come to her senses and realized what had just happened, felt the gazes of many ladies.
She shook herself and decided to take this opportunity to choose a good girl for her son.
She looked in the direction of Liu and Tang Wanrou and snorted in her heart.
If she remembered correctly, the girl would be out of mourning in a few days.
Lu Xinlan squeezed her arm tightly, "You just..."
She wanted to say that she was too impulsive. The emperor was suspicious and intolerant. What if she rushed out like that and incurred the emperor's wrath?
But when she met Lu Xinran's bright eyes that were seeking praise, the words that came to her lips changed to: "How smart!"
"That's right. I just need to call General Qi uncle. If the emperor can still grant me marriage, since he is so shameless, I will marry him."
With Qi Yu's thoughts, she might be able to discuss with the other party to become a nominal couple.
The two of them spoke in a very low voice, and people around them could only hear half of what they said if they listened carefully for a while.
Song Junyan watched her from afar as she proudly sought praise, but he had the same doubts in his heart as the emperor.
Can you hear your inner voice even if you are ten steps away?
The singing and dancing began, and the wine and food were served one after another. Lu Xinran ate while watching the singing and dancing, but he always felt a little unsatisfied.
[Big melons are still suitable for making electronic mustard. ]
Her consciousness swept over the lives of the people and finally landed on the emperor's booklet.
[Let's see if there are any secrets in the palace. The emperor has so many princes. If there is one... hehehe, that would be interesting.]
Everyone: "?!!"
If you watch this, we will also be inspired.
The emperor at the top frowned and looked at her. If she was looking at someone else, he would definitely find a way to interrupt her, but this time he was very conflicted.
