Chapter 91: I, your servant, also want to marry you!
The hall fell silent instantly.
All eyes were on Qi Mubai.
Yu Shengsheng also looked up suddenly, her eyes widening.
Why did he mention this... right in the hall, in front of the emperor?
This is too bold!
Yu Shengsheng's heart was beating wildly in her chest and she pursed her lips tightly, afraid that her heart would jump out if she was not careful.
However, she changed her mind and felt that what Qi Mubai did was also beneficial. At least once the emperor agreed, no one would dare to talk about letting her marry Kong Dezhao.
After returning to the Su family, she didn't have to waste any more time explaining, and she didn't have to worry about the Su family taking their anger out on her and Grandma Wu.
Yu Shengsheng quickly made up her mind that if Qi Mubai dared to say it, she would dare to agree.
Even if the queen and the prince are there.
As long as I stand with Qi Mubai, there is nothing I dare not and cannot do.
The emperor said with a smile: "Oh? This is a happy event. Since you are a disciple of the emperor, I should also worry about your marriage for you."
The Queen also laughed and said, "I wonder which family's daughter is so lucky? To have the number one scholar propose to her in the palace, in front of the Emperor?"
The Queen's words were also a question in everyone's mind, especially those young ladies who had a crush on Qi Mubai.
Qi Mubai kowtowed three times in a dignified manner, "The one I want to marry is the daughter of the Su family, the general's mansion."
There was a burst of exclamations.
Yu Shengsheng clenched the hem of her clothes with her fingers, and her blood gradually became hot and rushed through her body.
Kong Dezhao held the wine glass, paused, and then broke it into pieces with a "crack".
At this time, Qi Mubai's voice was clear, cutting through the sighs and discussions of the crowd.
Every word.
"Princess Rongyang, Su Zhiyi."
Yu Shengsheng opened her eyes wide and her eyelashes stopped trembling. There was noise all around her, but in her ears, the sound of the wind outside the hall had stopped.
The Qi Mubai in front of her was still wearing the top scholar robe. She had been looking forward to it for a long time. She regarded him as her spiritual pillar, the one who allowed her to grit her teeth and persevere in the endless grievances and pain.
But he opened and closed his mouth, but she couldn't understand what he was saying.
She seemed to hear the emperor say "OK", and then laughter and applause broke out in the hall, like a surging tide, engulfing her.
Like a sudden hurricane, it swept through the friends in the countryside, the promises they made to each other, and all the good things that had once been there, passed through Yu Shengsheng's body and mind, which were torn into pieces, and whistled away.
Yu Shengsheng was not the only one who was shocked beyond belief.
There is also Su Zhiyi herself, who was proposed to and granted marriage.
Su Zhiyi was watching the show happily when she saw Qi Mubai proposing to her in public. She thought that he was proposing to Yu Shengsheng, and she felt a little sour and jealous.
Although Qi Mubai was not good enough in her eyes, he was the top scholar after all and the focus of everyone's attention today. She didn't want Yu Shengsheng to take the limelight.
But she never expected that Qi Mubai would actually ask to marry her.
Su Zhiyi didn't have time to retract the smile on her face, thinking she had misheard. When she saw the looks from everyone, she realized it was true.
Su Zhiyi was stunned, angry, shocked, and felt disgusted.
She was going to be the Crown Princess and the future Queen Mother. Yet, a mere top scholar, a poor scholar from the countryside, who didn't know how many years he would have to struggle to make a name for himself, actually dreamed of marrying her?
She didn't even care about Shen Zhiyuan and took back the letter of withdrawal of engagement herself. She even looked down on Kong Dezhao, so who the hell is Qi Mubai!
Su Zhiyi ignored the joy of the crowd, her whole body was burning with anger, and she couldn't help but shouted: "Your Majesty, I don't want to!"
A shout interrupted all the joy.
The emperor just said "approved". In the emperor's opinion, although Su Zhiyi has a good family background and the title of princess, she cannot walk now and has just broken off the engagement with the Shen family, so her reputation is also damaged.
What's wrong with marrying the top scholar?
Unexpectedly, Su Zhiyi openly said that she was unwilling.
The emperor's smile faded. "Oh? Why?"
Su Zhiyi clenched the wheelchair armrests and said, "Your Majesty, I have never met the number one scholar and have never gotten to know him. How can I marry him?"
The emperor's tense face relaxed: "So it's because of this, you worry too much, not to mention that you have met now, how many people in the court are blindly married?"
The emperor glanced at the queen and said, "It is the same for me and the queen. We were only able to meet on the day of our wedding."
The queen forced an unnatural smile on her face and clenched her hands in her sleeves.
"Your Majesty, the situation of young people nowadays is different from our time."
"I heard," the Queen turned her eyes to Qi Mubai, "the number one scholar once said that he already had a lover. You and the princess are meeting for the first time, so how come..."
The emperor tilted his head to look at her: "Where did the queen hear that?"
The Queen was startled when she met the Emperor's calm gaze.
In her haste, she actually forgot that Qi Mubai was just an ordinary student before he entered high school. As the mother of a country, how could she, the mother of a country, want to know whether an ordinary student had a lover?
Unless it is of special concern.
"Father," the prince said, "you don't know this. This is what I talked about when I was chatting with my mother."
"A few days ago, it was the 25th anniversary of my mother's entry into the palace. I went to congratulate her and mentioned the deep love between my father and her. She said that she had no regrets about being able to be married to my father in this life."
"I will tell you that someone once proposed to the number one scholar, but he declined."
The emperor smiled and patted the queen's hand: "The queen and I are naturally a loving couple, with deep affection as deep as the sea."
"Mother only knows one side of the story, but not the other. This is not the first time that the number one scholar and the princess have met."
The prince said this and looked at Qi Mubai.
Qi Mubai nodded: "Your Majesty, I was bullied when I first came to Beijing, but the princess spoke up for me. I fell in love with her at first sight and was determined to do well in the exam. When I have a good reputation, I will express my feelings to her. Your Majesty asked me about it just now. I have no other request but this one thing."
He kowtowed heavily: "Your Majesty, please grant me your blessing."
Every word was like a knife, piercing Yu Shengsheng's heart sharply and lightly.
Every blow cuts a hole.
Yu Shengsheng closed her eyes slightly and slowly loosened her hands that were tightly gripping the hem of her clothes.
She didn't know why, and didn't want to guess, she just knew that the result was like this.
In this case, it is useless to ask or think further.
At this time, a laugh was heard. Kong Dezhao stood up, walked to the middle again, lifted his robe and knelt down.
This was the first time Kong Dezhao knelt since he came to Beijing.
"Your Majesty, I also want to marry someone."
Everyone looked at him again.
He raised his head and chin, ignoring everyone, and turned his gaze to Yu Shengsheng, proud and enthusiastic.
"I wish to marry Yu Shengsheng!"
What cousin of the Su family, what Su family, to him, they mean nothing, she is just Yu Shengsheng.
Yu Shengsheng raised her eyelids slightly and looked at Kong Dezhao.
Kong Dezhao's smile was so wild that it burned her eyes like sunlight.
"Shengsheng, are you willing?"
Before Yu Shengsheng could reply, someone said urgently, “No!”
