Chapter 257 Wei Zheng Proposes Marriage

ah?

What does that have to do with me?

Wei Shuyu pursed his lips.

"Shuyu, you must do your best from now on, understand?" Li Yuan was unusually serious.

"promise."

Wei Shuyu bowed.

Then he asked, "So, I am still the Crown Prince's tutor, and my official rank hasn't been demoted?"

"No surrender!" Li Yuan nodded.

Li Shimin's eye twitched.

I am the Emperor!

This is another slap in my face, isn't it?

Wei Zheng stood to the side, stroking his beard with a smile.

Not bad, not bad...

To assist Your Majesty as your father.

The son assists the crown prince.

The son follows in his father's footsteps, ensuring the continuation of the family business!

"Alright... let's leave it at that for now."

"Father, I take my leave!"

Li Shimin turned and left...

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

Everyone bowed in unison.

Sudden……

Li Shimin paused in his steps.

"Xuancheng, what are you giving away? Aren't you leaving?"

Seeing Wei Zheng also bowing to see him off, Li Shimin couldn't help but ask a question.

"Cough cough..."

Wei Zheng coughed awkwardly, "Your Majesty, I have some personal matters to attend to."

Private matters?

Li Shimin seemed to remember something, and his eyes widened suddenly.

Son of a bitch!

What could Wei Zheng do if he stayed at Da'an Palace?

It must be to propose marriage to Wei Shuyu!

Samurai Go is currently hiding inside the Daian Palace.

"You are not allowed to linger in the imperial palace!"

Li Shimin scolded, "Xuancheng, you said that yourself!"

"I won't stay long, I'll be gone soon." Wei Zheng smiled and bowed.

Screw you, you're fast.

My princesses haven't even gotten married yet, and you still want to propose marriage?

"The matter of the Crown Prince involves many people."

Li Shimin said sternly, "Court officials will soon come to the palace to plead for mercy. I still need you!"

"Your Majesty is not in a hurry."

Wei Zheng glanced at the sky and said, "It's almost time for a meal. I'll just have a quick bite."

Even having a meal isn't allowed.

Li Shimin racked his brains.

But Lao Wei went to stand on the opposite side again, and there was no one to speak up for him.

If you won't leave, then I won't leave either!

"Then I'll wait too."

Li Shimin walked back to Da'an Palace and said, "I'll have lunch at Da'an Palace."

Li Yuan was initially overjoyed.

Wei Zheng stayed behind; he could learn from Wei Zheng's experience and ask him how to scold such a vile creature.

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin also decided to stay.

His face immediately fell.

"Why should we keep it? Da'an Palace is too small to fit everyone!" Li Yuan snorted in dissatisfaction.

"Father, I will stand for a while."

"It's almost mealtime, and we don't have any extra bowls or chopsticks."

"Your Majesty, I will have the Court of Imperial Sacrifices add an extra set of bowls and chopsticks."

"Da'an Palace is too hot."

"Your subject is not afraid."

Li Yuan was shocked...

Aren't you the one who cares most about your reputation?

When did you become so shameless?

Li Shimin was, after all, the emperor, so Li Yuan grumbled a few times but didn't say anything more.

Da'an Palace hasn't been this lively in a long time.

The presence of this scoundrel ensures popularity!

"The Retired Emperor!"

Wei Zheng bowed to Li Yuan and asked, "I wonder if the Duke of Ying is here?"

"Oh, you want to see him..."

Li Yuan said to a eunuch, "Go and invite Wu Shihuo here."

"promise."

Not long after the eunuch left, he returned with the samurai.

His Majesty was arguing with the Emperor Emeritus, and Samurai Go watched from a corner.

If the retired emperor is in a vulnerable position, he might have to step in and help him!

"This old minister pays his respects to the Emperor Emeritus and Your Majesty!" Wu Shihuo bowed.

"Um."

Li Shimin nodded: "How have you been at Da'an Palace?"

"Your Majesty, the Emperor Emeritus has treated me very well."

"Do you harbor any resentment towards me?"

"I wouldn't dare."

"That……"

Seeing that Li Shimin was going on and on without stopping.

Li Yuan immediately became anxious.

"Shut up!"

Li Yuan glared at him: "Why are you asking so many questions? Would I ever mistreat my old brother?"

"..."

Li Shimin was speechless.

I almost forgot this is Da'an Palace, and my father is here.

“Father is right.”

Li Shimin continued to endure.

"Um."

Looking at the others, Li Yuan's face immediately broke into a smile: "Wu Xin, it's Wei Zheng who needs to see you." (Wu Shihuo, courtesy name Xin)

"I reckon it's a good thing!"

As he spoke, Li Yuan laughed even more heartily.

Qiqi is the daughter of Wu Shihuo, who is also his old brother, so he is also his daughter.

When Qiqi married Wei Shuyu, it was as if they had become in-laws.

If I, as his father-in-law, want to curse this beast, shouldn't the Wei brothers chime in?

So what if this wicked beast rules the world?

I have both the Greater and Lesser Wei!

Learn how to be a filial son anytime, anywhere...

"Xuan Cheng is very polite."

Wei Zheng bowed to Wu Shihuo.

"Wuxin."

Samurai simply clasped his hands in a fist salute.

He hadn't forgotten that when he went to the capital, Wei Zheng was one of the key figures who had executed him.

Wei Zheng was not angry.

For the sake of the children, it's okay to suffer a little grievance.

He's not good at socializing either.

After chatting for a while, we got straight to the point.

"What does Brother Wuxin think of Shuyu?"

"good."

Samurai nodded.

He was able to survive, but Wei Shuyu managed to save him by defeating the court officials in court.

"Well, you see, they're the right age and get along well..."

Wei Zheng smiled and said, "Could our two families form a marriage alliance?"

"Cough cough..."

Li Shimin suddenly coughed twice and interjected, "Xuancheng, this is inappropriate."

"Shuyu offended Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin."

"This marriage won't be so easy to arrange!"

Samurai Go heard this.

His brow furrowed involuntarily.

He had heard about it too.

Wei Shuyu prevented Changsun Chong and Cheng Huailiang from marrying the princess.

If I agree, I will most likely offend these two civil and military officials!

"His Majesty."

Wei Zheng smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's nothing serious."

"Why is it alright?"

Li Shimin reminded him, "One is a Minister of Works, and the other is a General; both of them are quite fierce."

"What does that have to do with Shuyu's engagement?" Wei Zheng asked rhetorically.

"Shuyu ruined Chong'er and Huailiang's marriage."

Li Shimin added, "They will also come to cause trouble..."

"His Majesty."

Wei Zheng bowed solemnly: "Shuyu's reason for the duel was your decree."

"Shuyu can simply ignore them."

Damn it.

I almost forgot that I was the one who initiated and agreed to the duel!

what to do?

We can't just set up a competition for Wei Shuyu without any reason.

Just as I was struggling with this, I glanced towards the door...

Good heavens, I've caught you red-handed.

"What happened to Shuyu?"

Everyone looked over and saw Wei Shuyu slapping Cui Shenji on the head again.

"..."

Wei Zheng's eye twitched.

You are such a good son to me.

Your father is working hard here to find you a marriage partner, while you're working hard over there to woo Choi Sin-ki.

"Shuyu is a talented and capable man, but he has a bit of a violent tendency," Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Oh, right."

Suddenly, he slapped his forehead: "I heard from Chang Le that Shu Yu has a bad habit of hitting his wife when he's in a bad mood."

Li Shimin relentlessly slandered Wei Shuyu.

"His Majesty!"

Wei Zheng suddenly let out a sharp shout.

Li Shimin was startled.

You're going to suffer.

This feels like... Lao Wei is about to unleash his full potential.

Wei Zheng stepped forward and asked, "May I ask Your Majesty, Shuyu is not yet married and does not even have a wife, so why does he like to beat his wife?"

"Your Majesty is the ruler of a nation; how can you believe baseless rumors?"

"Does Your Majesty know that this is a foolish and irrational act!"

"Moreover, Shuyu is your subject."

"Your slander against him will chill the hearts of your subjects..."

Li Shimin felt wronged.

This was said by Empress Dowager Chang, not by me.

Just then, Wu Shihuo bowed to Li Shimin...

"Your Majesty, I agree to this marriage."

ah?

So you agree?

You want a violent maniac like Wei Shuyu?

"Have you thought it through, my dear minister?" Li Shimin asked again.

well.

Samurai sighed and looked towards the doorway.

So what if Wei Shuyu had violent tendencies?

His own daughter wasn't much better off...

Following Wu Shihuo's gaze, the group saw Wu Qiqi pulling on Cui Shenji's ear, nagging him incessantly...

"..."

A violent man paired with a tomboyish woman.

Neither of them are good people.

"Okay, okay..."

Just then, Li Yuan's hearty laughter rang out: "I also agree to this marriage."

Swish.

Wei Zheng seized the opportunity and bowed to Li Shimin...

"Your Majesty, since we have already agreed, may I request that you grant us a marriage?"

I'll give you a big head.

Just then, Wei Zheng straightened up again...

"If Your Majesty insists, it's actually fine not to grant the marriage."

"Anyway, Qiqi just likes our Uncle Yu..."
