第146章 请求赐婚
清越本以为，公主就是那种在高高在上，不谙世事的存在。如今近距离接触了，她还是有小女儿家一般的姿态。
She suddenly thought of what the virtuous king had said to her in the side hall. Although he was a prince, he was also a man, and someone who liked him was here.
He will also have some concerns, suspicions, and feel inferior in front of himself!
So, when he heard that his father was arranging a marriage for him, he felt sad and had no time to think about whether the news was true or false... He just thought that I had changed my mind.
But the moment their eyes met in the hall, he realized that whether he was married or not, his love for her had not diminished, but had increased.
When he realized that he was not married at all and was suffering from illness, and heard about the pain he had suffered because of him, he felt even more upset.
The love that had been buried in his heart suddenly came out and was completely out of the control of the wise king.
Thinking of this, Qingyue just smiled, then looked at the virtuous king, who had already squeezed to the front of the stall, took out money, bought the most complicated lantern, and handed it to him, "Write it! Write something nice. For example, you want three or four children in the future. I like that better... Then, let's go to the fiefdom together."
"You have such a beautiful thought."
Although Qingyue said this, she still took the river lantern and wrote the same wish as the princess. Her wish was also very simple... After writing it, she handed the river lantern to the wise king and said, "I'll write and you go to release the lantern. That should be fine."
The wise king didn’t react at first. What was going on?
He was stunned for a moment, then looked at Qingyue's smile. It seemed as if the voices and lanterns around him, the hawking in the shops, and the crying of children in his ears had nothing to do with him. All he could see was her smile, and the love revealed somewhere.
He slowly took the lantern from Qingyue's hand and put it into the river. Before he stood up, Qingyue took the initiative to walk to his side and pushed the river lantern into the depths of the river with him. At this moment, the wise king held Qingyue's hand.
Both of them blushed.
The princess got goosebumps all over her body, but she still gave the two some time. When the market was about to close, the three of them took a carriage to take the princess back home.
Qingyue and King Xian were sitting in the carriage, and there was no one else in the carriage. His hands began to move restlessly again.
Qingyue did not stop this hooligan behavior and waited for him to do so.
When getting off the carriage, Qingyue stood beside it, looked at the tall man, and said, "Do you mean what you said in the side hall today? You want to marry me."
"Really! It's true...I dream of marrying you."
"Okay then."
"Come and wait here tomorrow morning. We will go to the palace together to ask your mother, and then go to the emperor. Ask him to fulfill our wish..." Qingyue said directly.
He completely forgot about his own pain at that time, and also forgot about spending a large sum of money to kill the virtuous king.
The wise king was stunned again. Is it really possible?
He saw the determination in her eyes and felt that what she said was absolutely true. If he missed this opportunity, he might never be with her again in his life!
The virtuous king grabbed her hand and said, "Okay, let's go together."
…
The next day.
Outside the palace gate, the ministers saw the carriage of the virtuous king, and Qingyue stepped out from it. The two walked hand in hand into the palace of the imperial concubine. Everyone talked about it, thinking that this was against the rules.
Holding hands in public is not allowed between men and women.
The imperial concubine heard the palace servants' discussion and was sitting in the main hall waiting for them. Seeing that the two were really holding hands, she walked in from the main gate and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Mother."
"Golden peace, Concubine."
"I'm asking you a question. What are you doing?" The imperial concubine's voice was majestic and dignified. Looking at Qingyue, she thought she was very beautiful. She heard that she was very talented and that she was favored by the princess!
The virtuous prince said directly: "Mother, I want to marry Qingyue, please help me!"
"Marry Miss Lu?"
"Yes. She is the only one I will need in this life, until death! Please grant my wish, mother. Qingyue and I love each other." The virtuous king spoke firmly, and after that, he kowtowed to the imperial concubine again, very pious.
The mother was very surprised to see such an expression on her son's face for the first time.
She recalled the time three years ago when the virtuous prince returned from Ruzhou. He had been listless all day, and when she asked him what was wrong, he wouldn't tell her. He just kept asking her, "How could she get married? Why didn't he wait for her..." and other nonsense.
Could it be the woman in front of me?
The imperial concubine looked at Qingyue and said, "You are Lord Lu's beloved daughter. You just came to the capital. Where did you live before?"
"In Ruzhou City. It was also in Ruzhou that I met the virtuous prince, and we secretly pledged our lives together. But he left so abruptly... and it caused me so much pain. Now, the misunderstanding between us has been resolved."
Qingyue didn't explain that she was already pregnant and had the child aborted! If she told the imperial concubine, it would be disrespectful to the royal family and could even lead to her death.
Good king, understand this! They can only conceal some of these things.
The fact of her pregnancy was currently known only to Chang Xixi, Lord Lu, and Qingyue herself. When the virtuous king thought of her long illness and Lord Lu's hasty search for another husband to prevent her from losing her chastity, he understood.
They had already had physical contact, and if you counted it, if the child was still alive, he could already call him father.
So... he knows it without having to tell him explicitly.
"Since you two are in love, I can't stop you. Your father treats you well and doesn't ask you to contribute to the court, so I think this marriage will be possible. He chatted with me last night and said he wanted you to marry Miss Lu. Mr. Lu is also very diligent... Since you are willing, then let's do it... Later, after your father finishes his morning court, I will go to talk to him, tell him."
"Thank you, Mother, for your help."
The virtuous king pulled Qingyue up, wrote a letter to thank the imperial concubine, and was about to walk out.
The imperial concubine said, "Miss Lu, please stay. I have something to say. Your Majesty, please wait outside the door. You are not allowed to come in without my permission."
"Mother, this?"
The virtuous prince looked worriedly at Qingyue, then at his mother, who was sitting in the main seat. He was a little worried. Like everyone else, he was worried that the two of them wouldn't get along.
The imperial concubine knew his inner worries and said, "You go! I'll talk to her. It won't delay things and won't make you sad. I won't bully you. My son is grown up and I can't control him anymore."
The virtuous king left, and at the same time gave Qingyue a reassuring look, and whispered: "I'm outside, if you are wronged, call me."
