Chapter 60: A Girl is Seeked by Hundreds of Families

Huang Xu, who was standing at the door, was overjoyed when he saw Yun Li coming out. He got off his horse and jumped into the Prime Minister's Mansion, but was stopped by the guards at the door.

Yun Li glanced at Huang Xu, confirming that she had no impression of him. Thinking that he was Huang Ying'er's brother, she wondered if he was here to cause trouble for her...

Yun Li said calmly, "Mr. Huang, we don't seem to know each other?"

Huang Xu was excited, smiling like a butterfly: "Miss Yun San, you may not know me, but I know you! After a few encounters, we already know each other! I'm here today to ask Prime Minister Yun for marriage. I want to marry you!"

Yun Li looked at him as if he were a fool and said disdainfully: "You're going to marry me? Without asking for my opinion?"

"Ask! If Miss Yun is willing, that would be even better. I'll go back and ask my father to find a good date and bring you home as quickly as possible! If you're not willing, I'll pester you and come to the Prime Minister's Mansion every day. If we go back and forth, we'll develop feelings for each other..."

Yun Li was speechless. It was true that people of the same family are alike. This shameless skill and this pig brain were exactly the same as Huang Ying'er's.

After all these words, she had no words to curse at anyone, it felt like she was just being shameless and clinging to her.

"Tell me, who ordered you to harm me? Or are you here to cause trouble for me? Huang Ying'er?"

Huang Xu was completely bewildered by Yun Li's question. "No one ordered me to do this! I'm sincere! I know what I did today was a bit abrupt and presumptuous, but my feelings for Miss Yun are evident to all!"

Yun Li frowned, watching as more people came and went on the street. Some passersby stopped and looked at them from time to time. It was almost the morning market...

Just as she was thinking about how to quickly send Huang Xu away, a sound of gongs and drums came from the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Huang Xu screamed: "It's that brat Wei Zheng! He's here to snatch my person away! Miss Yun, please don't pay any attention to him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man on the horse shouted, "Huang Xu! We agreed to compete fairly, but I didn't expect you to be so shameless as to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion and propose marriage without my knowledge!"

Yun Li's head was pounding. Who was she? Where was she? Please, God, take these two disgraceful people away...

Wei Zheng jumped off his horse and waved to the guards behind him, saying, "Bring the betrothal gifts in!"

Yun Li said angrily, "Go back to where you came from! Please don't embarrass me anymore, I really can't afford to lose face!"

"Miss Third Yun, how can this be considered shameful? Today I want to tell everyone in the capital that I, Wei Zheng, am in love with Miss Third Yun! I will not marry anyone other than Miss Third Yun!"

Huang Xu pointed at Wei Zheng and said viciously, "Bah! Miss Yun San, don't listen to him. He's a hypocrite! His family has arranged another marriage for him, and while he's flirting with Miss Qi, he's trying to provoke you! Don't bother with him!"

Wei Zheng hurriedly defended himself: "Miss Third, don't listen to Huang Xu's nonsense! My family has found a marriage for me, but I haven't even seen Miss Qi. I don't know what she looks like, and I'm not interested! I don't like her. You are the only one in my heart..."

Yun Li frowned and said impatiently: "Stop... stop it! Shut up!"

Then he looked at the two of them and asked, "Let me ask you a question. Why did you choose to come here at the same time today? What's your plan?"

Unexpectedly, Huang Xuge and Wei Zheng were both stunned, and then they looked at each other.

Yun Li saw this expression and knew there must be something fishy going on! She was right!

Huang Xu changed his nonchalant expression and said, "Miss Third, no matter what the reason, I really like you! And I'm sure I like you very much! Ever since I first saw you at the Spring Banquet, I've had you in my heart and I've never forgotten you!"

Yun Li got goosebumps after hearing this. These two must have read too many picture books...

"Well, gentlemen, let's discuss this first. Can we have the guards carry the things back first? I'd like to invite you to a teahouse so we can sit down and talk slowly. It's really inappropriate to block the entrance to the Prime Minister's residence like this!"

After a moment, the two nodded, but they refused to take the betrothal gifts back first. Yun Li had no choice but to ask Butler Li to find a place to put them first. Otherwise, if these two teams carrying betrothal gifts were to stand at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, how much she would be upset and how much she wanted to get married...

Each betrothal gift box had a big red wedding character pasted on it and a big red flower tied to it, which really gave her a headache...

…

In the private room of Yayun Pavilion

The three of them sat around the round table. Yunli asked Yingtao and Baizhi to guard outside the door.

"Speak now! Gentlemen, there are no outsiders here! Tell us your purpose today."

Huang Xu was the first to speak. He scratched his head and then said, "Third Miss, it's true that I adore you! But I chose to come here today to propose marriage because I want to save you!"

Yun Li pointed at herself in surprise: "Save me?"

Huang Xu and Wei Zheng nodded at the same time

Huang Xu then continued, "Originally, I was thinking of finding an opportunity to slowly get to know the Third Miss. Unexpectedly, at the Emperor's birthday banquet yesterday, I noticed that the Emperor was somewhat interested in the Third Miss. I realized that this was not right. If I confronted the Emperor face to face and tried to snatch her away, I wouldn't be a match for him. Once the imperial decree was issued allowing the Third Miss to enter the palace, I wouldn't be able to keep her! So I wanted to strike first and catch the Emperor off guard. By then, even if the Emperor was dissatisfied with me, he wouldn't be able to snatch the official's son's fiancée..."

Yun Li was shocked. She never thought that someone who was not related to her at all would help her, even though his motives were not pure.

He asked, "Does your father know that you came to the Prime Minister's residence today to propose marriage?"

Huang Xu shook his head and sighed: "Of course my father doesn't know. If he knew, how could I come? Today, after he went to the morning court, I stole the key to my mother's storehouse, looted some of the family's belongings, and came here..."

Yun Li twitched the corner of her mouth, then looked at Wei Zheng and asked, "Are you the same as him?"

Wei Zheng nodded and then shook his head: "I didn't expect this guy to be one step faster than me!"

"Aren't you afraid that if the Emperor finds out about this, he'll secretly try to trip up your father?"

Huang Xu looked bewildered and said indifferently: "As long as they don't kill my father, you can use them to trip me up. It's nothing more than a little trouble! But if I know the emperor's intentions and haven't made any efforts yet, and the third lady enters the palace and becomes one of the emperor's concubines, I'm afraid I will have a guilty conscience for the rest of my life.

On the contrary, I came here today, also considering that the Third Miss might not agree to me. No matter what the result is, I respect the Third Miss's choice... So, does the Third Miss want to enter the palace?"

Why does this sound so deceptive...

But these words made Yun Li feel warm in her heart. She withdrew her initial impression of Huang Xu. He was very pure and different from Huang Ying'er.

Yun Li shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Of course I don't want to enter the palace! But I still want to thank you two! Don't worry, I can't enter the palace! And I won't enter! I appreciate your kindness! I will definitely repay you in the future!"

Wei Zheng waved his hands hurriedly: "I'm not doing this to expect Third Miss to repay me! I really like Third Miss! Third Miss may not know that there are probably more than just the two of us. As far as we know, there are many young men who like Third Miss... We just got there a little earlier than others."

Yun Li laughed: "You like my face? Because I look good?"
