Shu'er is being unreasonable; as her parents, they can't let her do as she pleases.
Upon hearing this, He Lin, disregarding his status as Emperor, first bowed deeply to Li Zheng and his wife.
"General Li, Madam Li, I have long admired Shu'er and wish to be with her for all eternity, never to be separated from her. I beg you to grant my wish."
“Your Majesty, I am no longer General Li. Shu’er’s status as a commoner is not worthy of you.” Li Zheng still did not want his daughter to marry into the royal family.
Ye Qiuyun also did not want to,
"Your Majesty, you are the Emperor. Surely you have countless concubines and concubines. Why be so fixated on Shuer alone?"
They had known about He Lin's affection for their daughter for some time.
After all, this He Lin always liked to sneak into their daughter's bedroom.
Seeing that Li Zheng and his wife remained unmoved, He Lin quickly said with sincere eyes:
"General Li, Madam Li, my decision to marry Shu'er is absolutely not a spur-of-the-moment thing. You can rest assured that Shu'er is in my care."
Li Wenshu stood outside the courtyard wall. She actually wanted to go inside to tell He Lin that she was leaving with her parents.
"Your Majesty, let it go. Shu'er is inexperienced in the ways of the world, and I'm afraid she won't be able to adapt to the palace environment," Li Zheng still refused.
Ye Qiuyun was also standing nearby, echoing her sentiments.
"Shu'er has never been able to stand being restrained since she was little."
"The problems you are worried about will not occur. If Shu'er feels stifled in the palace, she can go back to her parents' home to visit at any time. She can stay as long as she wants."
Li Zheng and Ye Qiuyun still refused to budge.
Seeing that sincerity couldn't sway Li Zheng and his wife, He Lin brought up Gu Qian.
“Isn’t Gu Qian Shu’er’s senior brother? With him protecting her, no one will dare to bully Shu’er.”
Li Zheng glanced at his daughter outside the door, still unwilling to agree.
Ye Qiuyun already harbored resentment towards Gu Qian and was unwilling to agree.
She shook her head. "Your Majesty, please don't force us. We only have this one daughter."
"Father, Mother." At this moment, Li Wenshu entered the courtyard and approached.
As soon as she approached, she knelt before her parents and kowtowed, saying:
"Please, parents, grant my request."
Upon seeing Li Wenshu arrive, He Lin also set aside his imperial dignity.
He condescended to kneel down alongside Li Wenshu and said:
"We beg General Li and Lady Li to grant our request."
Li Zheng: "..."
Ye Qiuyun: "..."
If it weren't for his daughter's reputation, Li Zheng would have liked to take her and leave.
And Ye Qiuyun,
The one kneeling before me is none other than His Majesty the Emperor.
She rushed forward and pulled them both up from the ground, one in each arm.
How could Your Majesty kneel before them?
"Shu'er, as long as you're doing well, what else is there for your mother to say?" Ye Qiuyun said, then turned away and quietly wiped away her tears.
"But I'm sorry, your mother can't attend your wedding. Your father and I will be leaving tomorrow."
Li Zheng remained silent.
He knew that Qiu Yun wanted to use this indifferent attitude to force her daughter to give up He Lin and return to Baiyang with her and her husband.
However, apart from seeing his daughter's tears, he did not hear a single word of regret.
He sighed helplessly, his heart filled with endless worries.
He thought that if Qian'er, who was far away at the border, knew about this, she would definitely rush over to stop him.
Qian'er was initially even less optimistic about the marriage than he was.
In fact, Li Zheng had always wanted his daughter to marry Gu Qian.
This apprentice was someone he had watched grow up.
Unfortunately, neither of them was interested.
The following day, Li Zheng and Ye Qiuyun quietly left.
They didn't say goodbye to their daughter at all.
It's because they didn't want to say goodbye.
