Chapter 140 Is General Xue willing to marry the Princess of Nanzhao?

The next day, the autumn hunt ended successfully, and Murong Che prepared to lead a group of princes and ministers down the mountain.

The man was about to sit on the dragon chariot, at this moment, Lan Luo suddenly walked in front of Murong Che, bowed gracefully, "Your Majesty, Luo'er has a favor to ask!"

Murong Che's eyes fell on her and he raised his eyebrows. "What's the matter?"

Lan Luo had obviously dressed up carefully today, with delicate makeup on, and her eyes were full of charm, "Your Majesty, I have witnessed General Xue Wuji's bravery in the hunting field these days, and I like him very much. I would like to ask Your Majesty to arrange a marriage between Luo'er and General Xue!"

Her voice was clear and pleasant, and everyone's eyes lit up after hearing her boldly express her love to Xue Wuji.

It is said that the people of Nanzhao are open-minded, and this reputation is indeed true. The princess actually took the initiative to tell the emperor that she wanted to marry Xue Wuji.

I just don’t know if the emperor will fulfill her wish?

The moment Xue Wuzhi heard his name from Lan Luo's mouth, the expression on his handsome face froze.

During the autumn hunting, he did not speak a word to Princess Nanzhao. Why did Princess Nanzhao ask the emperor to arrange a marriage for them?

Is it because he won all nine battles against Nanzhao in Southern Xinjiang?

So, this woman asked for the marriage because she wanted to hate him and take revenge on him?

I think this is the only possibility.

Yu Minyan, who was standing next to Xue Wuji, felt her heart tighten and she subconsciously turned her head to look at Xue Wuji, wanting to know firsthand what his attitude was towards Lan Luo's request for marriage.

"Ali, this woman is too shameless, isn't she? She actually wants to marry our eldest brother? What is she daydreaming about here?"

On the other side of the dragon chariot, Chu Xinyue couldn't help but complain to Xue Youli who was standing next to her, "I heard that when our eldest brother was conquering Nanzhao, he defeated the larger army with a smaller one many times. The Nanzhao army respected and feared him. Every time when our eldest brother was there, they would be defeated! Our eldest brother is the god of war, the light of the Nine Continents. How can Lan Luo be worthy of him?"

"That's right, how can she be expected to be like my brother?"

Xue Youli nodded and scoffed at Lan Luo's request. "Where does she think this is? Now that she has come to Jiuzhou, it is not up to her to decide who she marries."

"I believe your man should not get used to her!" Chu Xinyue said, raising her eyes and looking at the man standing in front of the dragon chariot.

Under the gaze of everyone, Murong Che looked at Lan Luo with disdain and raised his thin lips slowly, "Seventh Princess, in our Jiuzhou, marriage matters require not only the orders of parents and matchmakers, but also the consent of both parties. So, before I answer you, I have to ask General Xue's opinion first."

When he said this, he cast a questioning look at Xue Wuji, "General Xue, I want to ask you, are you willing to marry the Princess of Nanzhao?"

Xue Wuji stepped out of the line, knelt on one knee in front of Murong Che, and refused in a sonorous and powerful voice, "Your Majesty, I don't want to do this! The Princess of Nanzhao is a royal daughter, of noble status, and I am a humble man, I cannot afford to marry her!"

Lan Luo also expected that Xue Wuji would not easily agree to her request, so she simply walked up to him and knelt down, "Your Majesty, I don't mind that General Xue is a rough man. I admire General Xue from the bottom of my heart. I hope Your Majesty can fulfill my wish!"

Seeing that Lan Luo was determined to marry him, Xue Wuji tightened and unclenched his hands at his sides.

Finally, he took a deep breath and made up his mind, and said in a tone of fearlessness, "Your Majesty, I cannot deceive Princess Nanzhao, and I don't want to disappoint her! In fact, I already have someone I like!"

Lan Luo narrowed her eyes and said, "General Xue, Luo'er admires you and respects you. Even if you want to marry your beloved one in the future, Luo'er will do her duty as a good wife like you Jiuzhou women and allow you to marry your beloved one into the Xue Mansion so that you can enjoy the happiness of having two wives."

She thought she was being generous by saying this, but Xue Wuji didn't buy it. "Your Majesty, I only wish to be with the person I love until old age, and I will never take a concubine in this life. As for the Nanzhao princess's claim of being infatuated, I am ashamed to accept it. Over the years, I have shed the blood of too many Nanzhao soldiers in order to protect the territory of Jiuzhou. If I marry another Nanzhao princess, I am worried that I will not only have different dreams with her, but we may even turn against each other."

As he spoke, he glanced at the ministers who were gathered in a circle to watch the excitement, "Princess Nanzhao, there are many good men in Jiuzhou, please choose a good match!"

Yu Minyan was very happy when she saw Xue Wuji reject Lan Luo without hesitation.

However, when Xue Wuzhi mentioned that he already had a girl he liked, Yu Minyan's eyes dimmed a little again.

Senior brother has a girl he likes and will not marry the princess of Nanzhao. She should be happy.

But why couldn't she be happy at all?

Lan Luo didn't expect Xue Wuji to completely disregard her dignity and reject her so thoroughly in front of so many people.

She clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves, her nails digging deep into her palms. "Your Majesty, there is a saying in Jiuzhou that 'feelings can be cultivated'. Luo'er will not marry anyone but General Xue! Luo'er also believes that one day she will be able to warm General Xue's iron heart!"

Chu Xinyue was furious when she saw Lan Luo actually wanted to force a marriage. "Ali, how about I teach this green tea bitch a lesson? My brother has made it so clear, how shameless is she to still want to marry my brother? Is she worthy?"

Xue Youli patted the back of her hand soothingly, and had great confidence in Murong Che, "Don't worry, the emperor won't let her have her wish."

[Lan Luo did not realize that she was the princess of a defeated country, and actually tried to control Murong Che. She is asking for trouble! ]

As expected, the next moment, Murong Che raised his lips and spoke softly, "Seventh Princess has lived in Nanzhao since she was a child, and has only a vague understanding of Jiuzhou culture. In fact, we in Jiuzhou have a saying, 'Never put your warm face on someone else's cold butt'. Even if I force General Xue to marry you today, you will not be happy. Seventh Princess, you might as well look at others. As General Xue said, our Jiuzhou country is full of good men!"

As soon as the man finished his last sentence, Chu Xinyue raised her voice and shouted to the crowd of people watching the excitement behind Xue Wuji, "The emperor said that there are good men everywhere in Jiuzhou. Good men, where are you?"

"Here!"

"Here!"

"And here too!"

Immediately, all the unmarried young men present gave the loudest response.

Murong Che raised his lips and said gently, "Seventh Princess, our Jiuzhou is vast and rich in resources, and what we lack most is young talents. If you want to get married, you can take your time to choose. After all, marriage is a big deal, and it only happens once in a lifetime. Don't choose the wrong person or you will regret it for the rest of your life."
