Chapter 579 He Will Make Her Regret
Although she couldn't help but complain about someone's pretentiousness, Si Linglong still obediently went to the kitchen to learn how to make soup the next day. The kitchen couldn't believe that this person actually planned to do it himself, and after hearing that it was the emperor's request, they directly invited the chef to teach her in person.
At the beginning, the ingredients and the heat were just right. As a result, Si Linglong looked at the soup in the pot and her hands began to itch again. She followed her previous habit of adding ingredients to small animals, adding a little of this and a little of that. Then, after taking a bite, she felt that the taste was not right, so she added something else to neutralize the taste.
The chef standing by was horrified and frightened.
Your Majesty, are you planning to poison the Emperor?
…
The soup in the kitchen was still bubbling, and over there in the Xuanzheng Hall, Dai Jiangkuan was kneeling upright in front of the hall with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Your Majesty wishes to arrange a marriage between me and... Miss Cui?"
Dai Jiangkuan thought he had heard it wrong, and he didn't understand why it was Miss Cui?
The person he likes is obviously...
Thinking of that beautiful and reserved woman, Dai Jiangkuan's eyes flashed with a few obscure lights, and his hands hanging at his sides clenched even more secretly.
Helian Yue ignored the inner turmoil of his subordinates.
Although he said yesterday that he would only agree to the marriage if she drank the soup made by someone, Helian Yue did not really want to drink it before he was willing to issue the decree for the marriage.
Lest someone accuse him of being hypocritical and stingy.
So early this morning, he directly called Dai Jiangkuang to his side and told him about the arranged marriage.
Helian Yue did not mention Si Linglong, he just said that one of them was unmarried and the other was about to get married, so it was just right for them to get married.
But even if Helian Yue didn't mention it, Dai Jiangkuo would have thought of it.
Yesterday, Lang Zhaoyi came to the palace specially to deliver soup, and today the Emperor arranged a marriage between him and Miss Cui. He would never believe that Lang Zhaoyi had no hand in it.
But he didn't understand.
He knew that he was not worthy of Shu Hong, but Lang Zhaoyi refused to give him even this chance.
He truly loved her, so he was willing to lower himself to get her consent.
Otherwise...
With his contribution as a guard during the winter hunt, he could ask the emperor for a marriage.
But he didn't.
He respected her and didn't want to force her in this way. He wanted to impress her with his sincerity.
But he didn't expect that his respect would be rewarded with such a result.
Dai Jiangkuo had no idea what this marriage grant meant.
Dai Jiangkuan looked at the king in front of him and opened his mouth, seeming unwilling.
"emperor……"
He wanted to reject the emperor's arranged marriage, and even wanted the emperor to fulfill his wish and replace the marriage with Shu Hong. Even though her status was not as good as Miss Cui's, he would be happy with it.
Helian Yue raised his eyes when he heard the voice, and her phoenix eyes swept across his face lightly, as if she saw through everything, and as if she brought an irresistible pressure. Just one glance, and the courage that had just gathered in Dai Jiangkuan's heart dissipated.
At this moment, the only remaining rationality in his mind was clamoring for him not to act impulsively.
The emperor offers marriage, so why would he refuse?
If he disobeyed the order, even if the emperor did not punish him on the spot, his future career would certainly be affected.
He has come all the way to where he is today on his own, and he will never give up the opportunity to move up further.
Must accept.
I can only accept it.
Dai Jiangkuo closed his eyes, and finally bowed solemnly to Helian Yue in front of him to express his gratitude.
"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace."
Dai Jiangkuang gritted his teeth and thanked him, but when he lowered his head, his face was full of unrelieved forbearance and unwillingness.
He recalled how he could only look at that person from a distance at first, but eventually he was able to hold his head high and talk to her to please her.
But no matter in the past or now, that person was always polite but distant to him.
In fact, they try to avoid it as much as possible.
Does she feel that his position as deputy commander is still not worthy of her?
In this case, he continued to climb up until he reached a position where she could only look up at him.
One day, he would make her regret it.
I regret today, planning with Lang Zhaoyi to push him to someone else!
