Chapter 397 Situ Wei Confesses to the Princess
On that day, Han Dewang led his whole family to Princess Qingyang's Mansion happily carrying a heavy gift.
The family's faces were filled with gratitude, and their hearts were filled with respect and gratitude for Luo Ranran.
Luo Ranran: ( ˙˙ )
Hehehe, to be honest, her hands are almost cramped from receiving so many gifts. Oh my, being too popular is also a sweet burden~~~
Time flies by like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, Luo Ranran is already two years old!
Today is her second birthday.
Hehe, the crazy gift receiving mode has started again~~~
Looking at the mountain of gifts, it was simply dazzling. Among them, there were not only gifts from the Queen Mother and others, but also gifts from civil and military officials.
Of course, anyone who gives a gift will receive a gift in return.
The return gifts were the fragrant, crystal clear spiritual fruits and the fresh, juicy, green spiritual vegetables in the space.
However, these fruits and vegetables are the most desired and highly praised things for civil and military officials.
Another thing is that ever since the last grand and romantic wedding banquet for fifteen couples, the banquets at Princess Qingyang's Mansion have become famous and have been touted as a legend in the capital's culinary world. No matter whether they are dignitaries or ordinary people, they all long to taste the extremely delicious dishes in person.
The princess did not invite any outsiders to today's birthday banquet, only her own people were present.
Uh... Situ Wei is considered half an outsider!
He sat on the stool stiffly and nervously, drinking glass after glass of wine. Luo Ranran felt quite disappointed with him.
[Uncle Situ, stop drinking. I just want you to pretend to be drunk so that you can tell the truth after drinking. I don’t want you to get really drunk! 】
Situ Wei paused for a moment, slowly put down the wine glass in his hand, and exchanged glances with Luo Ranran.
Little princess, I am just too nervous. That’s why I feel uncomfortable when I am nervous, and when I feel uncomfortable, I want to drink and get drunk.
Luo Ranran looked at the helpless Situ Wei helplessly, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly.
[Uncle Situ, could you please show me the bravery you had when you fought bravely on the battlefield? Look at how indecisive and cowardly you are now! 】
If she didn't want her aunt, the eldest princess, to be happy, she wouldn't bother to be a matchmaker.
The main thing is that Situ Wei is a man without guts. If it were any other man, he would have married the beauty long ago.
Situ Wei: (╥﹏╥)
He didn't want to do that. He was always prepared to confess his feelings and even rehearsed the words for a long time. But as soon as he saw the eldest princess's face, he would sweat nervously and stammer for a long time without being able to utter a word.
Luo Ranran sighed: [Uncle Situ, if I had known you were so useless, I would not have invited you to my birthday party today. 】
Situ Wei's body suddenly stiffened.
He hurriedly winked at Luo Ranran and said: My dear, please don't give up on me, I can still be saved.
Luo Ranran followed suit and winked, [Then you go ahead, it just so happens that my aunt is secretly watching you~]
"What?" Situ exclaimed in surprise.
Everyone's chopsticks trembled in unison, and they all raised their heads to look at him.
Nangong Yu pretended not to understand and asked, "Brother Situ, what's wrong with you?"
"I, I... am... fine." Under everyone's gaze, Situ Wei felt as if he was being roasted on a fire. He was uncomfortable all over, and his face turned red with embarrassment, as if blood could drip out.
And beneath his feet, he had quietly dug out a grand and majestic general's mansion!
At this moment, he just wanted to get in.
Emperor Luo pursed his lips in disdain and muttered to himself: This Situ Wei is such a coward! But on the surface, he still raised his glass and toasted Situ Wei.
"Come on, General Situ. As the saying goes, wine makes cowards brave. Today, let's put aside the etiquette between the emperor and his subjects and drink to our heart's content! I toast you a glass!"
After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing this, Situ Wei couldn't help but feel flattered.
He quickly raised his glass with both hands and responded carefully: "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise! I am overwhelmed with fear. Thank you for your kindness. I am willing to swear my loyalty to you until death!"
After saying this, he drank the wine in the glass.
After drinking this glass of wine, his face became redder and redder. Seeing this, the princess frowned and said with a smile: "Royal brother, General Situ, don't just drink, eat more vegetables."
Emperor Luo smiled meaningfully, "Well, the eldest princess is still considerate. General Situ, do you listen to the eldest princess' words or not?"
"Listen!" Situ Wei responded without thinking. When he said it, he realized that the emperor was setting a trap for him.
No, this is not called setting a trap, it's called pulling a red line in disguise.
With a "boom", Situ Wei's head was buzzing. If he didn't dare to express his feelings at this time, he would be a coward.
Luo Ranran clenched her fists and urged him in her heart.
[Now that we’ve come to this, Uncle Situ, what are you still waiting for? Confess your feelings now, or you’ll spend the rest of your life alone! 】
Situ Wei: “…”
No, he doesn't want to be alone all his life.
Under the long-expected gazes of everyone, Situ Wei's face flushed. He suddenly stood up and walked in front of the eldest princess, and took out the plum blossom jade hairpin he had made by himself from his arms.
"Princess, the heavens and the earth are witnesses, the sun and the moon are witnesses! Ever since we first met, your charm has been deeply engraved in my heart. As time goes by, this love becomes stronger, like a burning flame that can never be extinguished."
"Today, I muster up the courage to present this gift to you - this carefully carved plum blossom hairpin represents my endless admiration for you. I wonder if you are willing to spend the rest of your life with me?"
Situ Wei's voice was full of sincerity and his eyes revealed unwavering love.
He picked up the exquisite plum blossom hairpin in his hand and handed it to the eldest princess. She saw that each petal was carved so vividly that she could almost smell the faint fragrance emanating from it.
The eldest princess' cheeks flushed with shame. She looked up at the tall and mighty Situ Wei, her heart beating wildly.
She knew that Situ Wei had been protecting her silently, but she never thought that he would express it so bravely.
At this moment, she felt his deep affection.
However, faced with such a sudden confession, the eldest princess was a little hesitant, mainly because she had been married and was the mother of three children.
The eldest princess lowered her eyes and suppressed the throbbing in her heart.
"Situ Wei, I feel your feelings... It's just that marriage is a serious matter and requires careful consideration. However, this plum blossom hairpin is really beautiful..."
"If it's beautiful, just accept it~" Luo Ranran ran over happily and stuffed the plum blossom hairpin into the eldest princess's hand.
"Aunt, you don't have to hesitate. Ranran understands your worries and concerns, but in fact, these are unnecessary! Your brothers and sisters fully support your marriage to Uncle Situ! They even said that they are looking forward to feeling the father's love as deep and heavy as the mountains~~~"
Qian Zhanyi and his two siblings nodded without hesitation, as quickly and efficiently as pounding garlic.
Although they were silent, their eyes were shining with endless expectations, like the bright stars in the night sky, shining brightly.
And every look is filled with longing and desire for the future.
