108. Chapter 108 Triumphant Proposal



Helian Su looked at her sideways, with a fierce look on his face: "You are so quick to admit your mistakes."

The Imperial Concubine lowered her head and slightly raised her eyelids. Her long eyelashes were as thick as a feather fan. Her hand gently rested on his strong arm: "Your Majesty, you just scare me."

On March 19th, the third prince Helian Mo returned triumphantly. The people of the capital lined the streets to welcome the army, and young boys and girls sang and scattered flowers and fruits to celebrate.

The dragon riders were in full swing, their armor as strong as a mountain, and the most eye-catching thing was the black warhorse.

The black warhorse is tall and mighty, and the young man on it is wearing silver armor and has bronze skin, showing his strength to the fullest.

He held the reins with a smile on his face, dodging the sachets and handkerchiefs thrown at him by the girls on both sides of the street.

The eunuch read out the decree in a loud voice, and behind him were all the officials who welcomed the emperor, all of whom showed that the young general was deeply indebted to the emperor.

Helian Mo dismounted, received the imperial edict to enter the palace, and walked around the people on the street with a chuckle, making the girls blush and their hearts beat faster.

"Your Highness, His Majesty has already held a banquet in the palace. All six palaces and officials are celebrating together."

Helian Mo pointed at the spear and took off the helmet on his head. He had a high nose, deep eyes, bronze skin, and a pair of eyes that seemed to contain thousands of stars, dazzling and eye-catching.

"No hurry, I will go find someone and bring her to the palace to meet my father."

The eunuch bowed and did not stop him: "Your Highness, please."

Helian Mo's eyes were fixed in one direction, like a hawk locking onto its prey. The corners of his lips gradually curled up, and he raised his long legs and walked towards the direction he was staring at.

Everyone's eyes followed his movements and fixed on a girl in green.

The girl had a pretty face, her hair tied up in a gentle bun and pinned with a peach wood hairpin. Her eyes were frightened, like a frightened deer. She dodged in a hurry and wanted to turn around and leave.

Helian Mo stepped forward quickly and raised his voice: "Ning Xiaoliu, Helian Mo wants to ask His Majesty to marry Miss Ning Liu for his military merits. Please allow Miss Ning Liu!"

Ning Shuyu turned around and was about to run, but was suddenly stunned by the clear and firm voice behind her, and a layer of warm mist covered her eyes.

Her body was trembling, and she did not dare to turn around and face the young general's ardent love, for fear that it would be as fragile as a dream or glass.

Helian Mo saw her shoulders shaking, and he didn't dare to step forward. He could only repeat over and over again: "Helian Mo wants to ask Your Majesty to marry Miss Ning Liu with his military merits. Please allow Miss Ning Liu!"

Ning Shuyu's face was covered with tears, but she still didn't dare to turn around.

The girl next to her was so upset that she squeezed in front of Ning Shuyu and asked in a low voice: "Miss Ning Liu, do you dislike the Third Prince? I think he is a bit dark, bloody and scary. How about you give him to me?"

Ning Shuyu hurriedly shook her head and interrupted the girl who was talking: "He is not scary, he is a hero."

"Hey, you haven't said whether you will give it to me or not." The girl blinked and stared at Ning Shuyu, as if she wanted her to show an attitude.

Ning Shuyu remained silent. The girl stamped her feet anxiously. Finally, after Helian Mo repeated it over and over again, Ning Shuyu turned around and said softly and firmly, "No."

The girl took a deep breath, stepped aside, and whispered to the boy next to her: "Look, he has a big mouth but doesn't say anything. He has to push me further. It makes me worried!"

The young man took a step to the side and said coldly, "Miss, don't you want to marry the Third Prince? Go ahead."

The girl silently reached out her hand and grabbed the boy's ear: "I think it would be a good idea for you to open a vinegar factory!"

Helian Mo's eyes were as sharp as torches, making Ning Shuyu's face turn red.

"Miss Ning Liu agreed?"

Ning Shuyu spoke in a whisper and nodded slightly: "Yeah."

Helian Mo laughed loudly and raised his hand: "Su Xin, please invite Miss Ning Liu to ride in the sedan chair!"

"Your Majesty, I just learned about the foolish things Mo'er did. I failed to discipline him and lost the face of the royal family. I beg you to forgive me."

Helian Suzheng was holding a pen and writing on a clean piece of paper. His movements were smooth and unaffected by anything.

After finishing his writing, he sat on the chair and then looked at Concubine Zhen who was kneeling in the hall.

"The third child is full of vigor and full of affection. How can you, as his mother, be said to be incompetent in disciplining him?"

Concubine Zhen bowed her head and said, "Since ancient times, the prince's wife has been chosen by His Majesty. Mo'er asked for her in the street, throwing His Majesty and the ancestral etiquette to the wind. This is really wrong."

Concubine Zhen complained in her heart, if it was a girl from a high-ranking family, Helian Mo would have asked to marry her, maybe it would have become a good story, but he was attracted to a concubine's daughter of a fourth-rank official! If the principal wife was a concubine's daughter of a fourth-rank official, what would the status of the concubines be! Wouldn't that be cutting off his own retreat!

"As long as the Third Prince likes it, that's fine." Helian Su had some thoughts in his mind, "If Imperial Concubine Zhen has nothing else to do, go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony and prepare a banquet for the inspection with the Imperial Concubine."

Concubine Zhen's heart sank. She knew that she could not change anything, so she kowtowed respectfully and left.

"Chang Hai, the Princess of Qi has been longing for a daughter for many years but has not been able to do so. I think Miss Ning Liu is destined to be with the Princess of Qi."

Chang Hai understood and left: "I understand. I will do it right away."

The palace banquet was lively. The families of officials of all ranks wore gorgeous clothes and jewels. They strictly observed the palace rules and did not dare to run around or look around.

Helian Mo brought Ning Shuyu into the palace, and first sent someone to take Ning Shuyu to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and then went to see Helian Su alone, both to report on his work and to seek imperial decree.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the young ladies from various families, when they saw Ning Shuyu, surrounded her like a cat seeing a mouse.

"This is Miss Ning Liu, right? She is so pretty, and she is so blessed." The lady in pink dress had contempt in her eyes, but a kind face. "Why is Miss Ning Liu's dress... a little faded? Is it a new color in the capital?"

Ning Shuyu was like a little animal, her eyes looking at the lady in pink skirt: "Your Highness said it looks good, so I have been wearing it..."

The lady in pink skirt swallowed a fly and asked, "Why don't you see Miss Ning Liu wearing two or three gold hairpins? Isn't it impolite to enter the palace to meet the emperor?"

"There was a disaster in Tianxing City. I was worried and wanted to save some money to help. I forgot the rules for a moment." Ning Shuyu did not accept the attack. She moved back delicately and softly, like a rabbit with sharp teeth that would bite.

"Miss Ning Liu is kind-hearted and eloquent."

A voice was heard from outside the crowd, and the young ladies and maids from each family looked over. After seeing who was coming, they quickly bowed to greet them.

"Your humble servant pays respect to Princess Anle. May the princess live long and healthy."

"Stand up."

Princess Anle Helian Wan was followed by several maids, all of whom were beautiful, but none of them was more beautiful than Princess Anle.

Helian Wan chuckled: "Miss Ning Liu is more beautiful than flowers, no wonder the third brother is attracted to her."

Ning Shuyu lowered her head and bowed obediently: "Your Highness, thank you for your praise."

"Just now, Princess Qi took a look at Sixth Miss Ning from a distance and felt that they were destined to be together. So, she asked me to find Sixth Miss and go to the garden to appreciate the flowers together."

Helian Wan's words were like a big stick, hitting the young ladies hard on the heads.

If it was just fate and she wanted to see him, why did the princess come to look for him in person? She could just send a maid. If the princess came to look for him in person, I'm afraid...

Miss Ning Liu, you are going to fly to the tree and become a phoenix!
