Chapter 119 The General’s Physical Strength is Really Great
Su Yunyao took a shower, changed her clothes, and dressed up.
Facing the bronze mirror, she ran her slender fingertips across the strawberry mark on her neck.
Thinking about the lovemaking with Huo Xiao last night.
He is indeed the man she likes. It’s so exciting and so cool!
The general's physical strength is really great!
So satisfying!!!
Pearl, who was combing her hair, looked at her strange expression with surprise, "Princess, what are you thinking about?"
"Hmm?" Su Yunyao suddenly came back to her senses and pretended to be serious. "What? What's wrong with me?"
Pearl thought about it carefully and found a more appropriate word to describe it.
"Princess, you looked as happy as if you had found money."
Su Yunyao: ...
"That's a good point, don't say it next time."
pearl:……
"I know I was wrong."
Su Yunyao thought for a moment and asked from the bottom of her heart, "Silly Pearl, do you, Princess, need money? Would I be so happy if I picked up some money?"
Pearl was stunned and shook her head repeatedly, "Of course the princess is not short of money. His Majesty loves her the most, and the palace has never stopped giving her rewards. How could the princess be short of money?"
"So..." Su Yunyao patted her shoulder righteously, "Maybe one day my royal brother will reward me with a few handsome men, and I'll be happy."
pearl:……
Could it be that General Huo was not satisfied with the princess he served last night?
General Huo has just gained favor.
The princess started thinking about other men.
She was now beginning to worry about General Huo in her heart.
When Su Yunyao's carriage stopped at Baohe Hall, the emperor had already arrived. The queen was sitting next to him, and the seat on the other side was reserved for her.
One foot has just stepped into the Baohe Hall.
All the ministers stood up and saluted.
"Greetings to the Princess, may the Princess live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
Su Yunyao paused. This was the first time she had seen such a grand ceremony since she came to this world.
It’s really grand.
The emperor spoke in various official languages as usual.
Huo Xiao was promoted from the first-rank General of Cavalry to the first-rank General.
The remaining rare treasures, gold, silver and jewelry were all sent to the general's mansion.
The two deputy generals also received different rewards.
Looking at Huo Xiao who was kneeling on one knee in front of His Highness with a serious face.
Su Yunyao really found it hard to associate him with the man who called her "Princess" in a coquettish voice last night.
After the awarding ceremony, there was singing, dancing and music.
At this moment, Prime Minister Feng Wenguan, who was sitting at the head of all officials, suddenly stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty."
The emperor raised his eyes and looked towards him. "What is the matter, Prime Minister?"
"In reply to the emperor's words," Feng Wenguan saluted. "This old minister would like to take advantage of General Huo's triumphant return to add another happy event."
"Oh?" the emperor asked with great interest. "What happy event is the Prime Minister talking about?"
There was an uproar in the Baohe Hall, and the musicians' voices became noticeably quieter.
The Prime Minister continued to bow and said, "In reply to the emperor's words, your daughter is seventeen years old and has reached the age of marriage. Although she is the daughter of the third concubine in the palace, she is also the younger sister of the imperial concubine."
The Prime Minister said this, walked to the center of the palace, lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, "This old minister dares to ask the emperor to grant my daughter a marriage."
Although this girl was born to the third concubine, she was just a concubine's daughter.
But this concubine's daughter's father is the prime minister, the head of all officials, and her elder sister is the imperial concubine of the current dynasty.
What a noble identity this is.
"What do you mean by that, Prime Minister? Today is General Huo's celebration banquet, and the Prime Minister is mentioning the matter of an arranged marriage. Could it be that the person the Prime Minister wants to request for his daughter's marriage is General Huo?"
"The Prime Minister is the head of all officials. General Huo commands a large army and has now destroyed Xijing. Will the Emperor agree to a marriage between the Prime Minister's Mansion and General Huo?"
"If the two of them are really interested, I'm afraid the Emperor wouldn't be able to refuse the Prime Minister in front of all the civil and military officials, right?"
"The Prime Minister's legitimate daughter is the current emperor's concubine. She is the most favored concubine in the six palaces and has a very noble status. She is more than qualified to marry General Huo."
"But General Huo is also a first-rank general. There is no woman he is not worthy of, unless it is the eldest princess..."
Huo Xiao listened to everyone talking, he slowly raised his eyes and looked towards Su Yunyao who was sitting in the main hall.
Third concubine?
Su Yunyao thought about it seriously.
I seem to have some impression.
Wasn’t that arrogant and domineering noble lady who went to Jinjing Tower to cause trouble the relative of the third concubine of the Prime Minister’s Mansion?
It seems that the third concubine is very favored in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Su Yunyao ate the grapes that Zhenzhu peeled for her, looking as if it had nothing to do with her and eating the melon seriously.
The emperor took a sip of tea and spoke slowly, "I wonder who the Prime Minister wants me to grant him marriage with?"
The Prime Minister then smiled awkwardly, "In reply to the Emperor, my daughter is seventeen years old, and is about the same age as the Supreme Court Justice, Lord Lu Mingfeng. I beg Your Majesty to grant my daughter and Lord Lu a marriage, so that they may become a happy couple."
Lu Mingfeng?
Hearing this name, the emperor couldn't help but look at Su Yunyao.
Su Yunyao sneered, and instantly felt that the grapes in her hand no longer tasted fragrant.
Huo Xiao's eyes relaxed for a moment, and he took out the hidden weapon that Lu Mingfeng gave to the princess from his waist, and fiddled with it on his fingertips.
It's really interesting that you end up eating the melon on your own head.
Dali Temple Minister Lu Mingfeng?
Upon hearing this name, all the ministers sighed.
"When did the Prime Minister become so familiar with the Supreme Court Justice? If they weren't interested, the Prime Minister wouldn't have asked the Emperor for permission to marry him in front of so many people, right?"
"A few days ago, the Dali Temple Minister was still the Dali Temple Junior Minister. Suddenly, he changed his rank from Fourth Rank to Second Rank. I thought it was Lord Lu's integrity, but I didn't expect that the Prime Minister must be behind this."
"You can't judge a person by his appearance. I never thought that Lord Lu would be so resourceful."
"But the Emperor has granted marriage, and it means a lifelong couple. Lord Lu is still so young, can he really guarantee that he will never take a concubine in the future?"
"Take a concubine? Can a woman have her own official career? If Lord Lu can be appreciated by the Prime Minister, he will rise to prominence..."
Huo Xiao paused as he swung the hidden weapon with his fingertips.
He sneered.
The official sitting next to him and discussing the matter fell silent instantly.
"The emperor hasn't made a final decision yet, yet you gentlemen are here belittling yourselves and talking about a second-rank official of the court. What crime should you be punished for?" Huo Xiao's tone was cold, with a chilling hostility.
Those who had just been talking behind his back all lowered their heads and said, "I plead guilty."
Huo Xiao didn't say anything else, just raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Yunyao again.
The less he spoke, the more frightening he became.
Maybe it was because he killed too many enemies on the battlefield, but there was always a murderous aura emanating from his body.
Now he holds a high position and is a general of the first rank appointed by the emperor himself. His status is equal to that of the prime minister of the current dynasty.
How could the officials sitting here not be afraid?
Lu Mingfeng, who had not slept all night, finally realized what was happening and walked behind the prime minister, lifted his robe and knelt on the ground.
