Chapter 398: He is not fighting alone
Jiang Yu was still kneeling, and they were talking about this here.
In response to the emperor's comfort, Su Wan smiled politely.
After Murong Qi sat down, he gave Murong Sheng a look that said I tried my best. Murong Sheng nodded to indicate that it was okay, as long as the public opinion effect was achieved.
Su Wan looked at Jiang Yu kneeling there, working hard for their relationship, regardless of the strange looks from so many people. She felt that she couldn't just sit there and take it for granted. If she wanted him to work hard for everything, that wouldn't be called a two-way relationship.
So she stood up, and Sun Ling'er quickly grabbed her hand and looked at her.
"Wanwan?"
Su Wan pushed her hand away, smiled at her, and walked out.
Several brothers watched her actions, wanting to speak but not knowing how.
Everyone knew what she was going to do.
She wanted to face it together with Jiang Yu. She walked to Jiang Yu firmly and knelt down slowly.
Jiang Yu sensed a red figure approaching from the corner of his eye, along with the familiar fragrance of hibiscus.
Tonight, Su Wan happened to be wearing a horse-faced skirt with red elements that suited her very well.
Jiang Yu watched her kneel beside him and then took one of his hands.
She looked at him and smiled, and that smile made him feel for a moment that he would be willing to die for her.
The corners of Jiang Yu's eyes were a little red, and his nose felt sour.
He firmly grasped her hand in his palm and held it tightly.
Su Wan looked at the emperor with a firm look in his eyes:
"Your Majesty, this subject and I are in love and have a perfect relationship. I will marry him in this life. If I cannot marry him, then I would rather go to a temple and be a Taoist nun for the rest of my life!"
Su Wan is actually very strong-willed. She doesn't want to marry Murong Huai. She only wants to marry Jiang Yu. She has said this today.
The emperor's expression was really ugly. He threw the jade ornament he was playing with to place his chopsticks on the table in annoyance.
"Princess Xuanle, do you think my Seventh Prince is not worthy of you?"
After the emperor said this, Su Jing and Su Chen hurried forward and knelt down to beg for mercy.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Xuanle has absolutely no such intention." This is what Su Jing said.
"Your Majesty, my sister is outspoken. If she makes any mistakes, I am willing to take the punishment on her behalf." This is what Su Chen said.
Among the five brothers, only two hold official positions, so they have a say.
The atmosphere was frozen and dangerous for a moment, and everyone was trembling with fear, fearing that the emperor would become furious and affect others.
As a result, the emperor laughed in anger:
"I didn't say anything, why are you panicking? Did I say I was going to punish Princess Xuanle? I was just asking her a question."
The emperor didn't want to vent his anger on anyone today, but since these two young men didn't give him face, he had to show some respect and be a little angry.
Firstly, he still wanted to continue using the brothers of the Su family, and secondly, he had to give face to Duke Jiang.
Duke Jiang remained silent. When Ning Wei and her son saw Jiang Yu's situation, they couldn't help but gloat over his misfortune.
Su Wan admitted that she was scared when the emperor asked this question. She felt very handsome when she said that, but she regretted it after she said it. She shouldn't have added the last sentence.
Can the progress bar be rewound? She wants to delete some scenes.
Taking a deep breath, Su Wan pulled his hand out of Jiang Yu's, and then kowtowed to the emperor:
"Your Majesty, I am unworthy of His Highness the Seventh Prince. He is a man of great talent and elegance, but I am vulgar, inarticulate, and illiterate. I am not good at music, chess, calligraphy, or painting, and I cannot compose poetry or songs. I am a vulgar person, and I fear that I will bring shame to His Highness the Seventh Prince in the future. I believe that I am unworthy of his position."
This girl is really cruel when she makes fun of herself, and she belittles herself to the point of being worthless.
She is quite adaptable.
Murong Huai scratched his head and thought, you are good at using words, branding iron. He didn't dare to admit these two words when used to describe him.
The emperor also needs a way out. This girl is indeed very smart. She doesn't look vulgar, nor does she seem to be unable to speak.
She said she was a vulgar person, but that's not the case.
When it comes to the art of language, this point is grasped again.
Duke Jiang sighed, thinking that it was his turn to take the stage. Even if the stalemate continued all night, there would be no result. He might as well give the emperor a way out.
"Your Majesty, I originally came out to accompany you on a hunting trip to relax. Now that we're out, let's enjoy ourselves. We can discuss everything else after we return to the capital. My son was reckless today. After the bonfire party, he will be punished with thirty lashes of the cane as a warning. He has offended Your Majesty and the other ladies. I failed to teach him well. I will drink three cups of wine as apology!"
Duke Jiang spoke while standing with a serious expression on his face. Then he took the wine jug and began to pour himself wine, drinking three cups in a row.
The emperor then pointed at him and scolded him:
"What an old fox! Okay, let's end this matter today. Let's just have fun together. Can we discuss the marriage proposal when we return to the capital?"
My dear Lord Su, General Su, you don't have to worry too much. I have no intention of offending the princess. Everyone, please stand up!"
The emperor was pleased with Duke Jiang's act of accepting the punishment, so he walked down the stairs.
"Prince, Princess, you should get up too. Is the wine bad tonight, or is the meat bad? You have to be so picky about the food. Go back and sit down!"
In short, the emperor neither mentioned granting the marriage to the two nor gave in.
Jiang Yu also knew that this matter could not be resolved in a short time, so he could only go back and talk about it later.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." He stood up and went to help Su Wan.
Su Jing also stood up. He directly pulled Su Wan's wrist and returned to his original seat. Then he looked at Jiang Yu meaningfully, as if blaming him for being reckless.
Jiang Yu's hands were empty, but Su Wan turned around and looked at him and smiled at him.
His request for marriage was rejected tonight, but the only thing that made him feel relieved and happy was that he was facing Su Wan with him.
Her attitude also showed everything, he was not fighting alone.
Sitting back in his seat, Duke Jiang gave him a look of disappointment.
"Are you feeling better now? Are you behaving yourself?"
"I will beg again!" Jiang Yu said in a furious tone.
Duke Jiang almost pinched his Ren Zhong point on the spot.
Treason, treason!
The scene of singing and dancing returned to normal. Gu Yue didn't expect that the matter could be covered so easily. She had originally hoped that the emperor's anger would curb Su Wan's arrogance and make her suffer a little.
As a result, she was able to escape, and one or two people protected her.
Zhong Li'er on the side looked at Su Wan with eyes that were about to spit fire. Prince Jiang was her new crush, and now Su Wan was having an affair with her crush, which made her very angry.
"How could Prince Jiang fall for her? A vulgar person who is not good at music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, or song is not worthy of Prince Jiang, okay?"
Gu Yue's mouth twitched when he heard this.
No, sister, it’s just a set of rhetoric, do you really believe it?
If she really knew nothing, how could she sit on the throne of a princess and make a fuss?
What a stupid teammate. If it wasn't for winning over the Shunde Marquisate, being with her would be an insult to my intelligence.
