Chapter 120 This Princess Doesn’t Like Seeing You Kneeling
"Your Majesty, I already have a lover, and I am afraid I cannot marry the Prime Minister's daughter. Please forgive me."
The emperor was also confused when he saw the two people kneeling in the hall.
Originally, the matter of arranging a marriage was not a big deal.
If the Prime Minister brought it up privately, even if Lu Mingfeng disagreed, there would still be room for maneuver.
But the Prime Minister happened to ask for marriage in front of all the civil and military officials today.
If he didn't agree, he would be offending the Prime Minister.
If you agree...
He had heard about Lu Mingfeng and the imperial sister from the Xuanyi Guards a long time ago.
The emperor looked at Su Yunyao as if asking for help.
result……
She acted like nothing happened.
With a smile on her face, she ate the orange that Pearl had just peeled, and raised her eyebrows at him with an expression that seemed to enjoy the fun.
emperor:……
He put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly. "The Prime Minister, have you discussed the marriage with Lord Lu? If Lord Lu and your daughter are truly interested, I will definitely make this auspicious marriage come true."
At this moment, Imperial Concubine Shu stood up and walked to the Prime Minister's side. She bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is all my fault. My sister came to the palace to visit me and ran into Lord Lu on the road. She fell in love with him at first sight. After returning home, she cried and made a fuss, insisting on marrying no one but Lord Lu. That's why I asked my father to ask Your Majesty for a marriage, but I didn't expect..."
Speaking of this.
Concubine Shu turned sideways and glanced at Lu Mingfeng.
"I didn't expect that Lord Lu already has a sweetheart. I wonder which official lady is that sweetheart? I am indeed in love with Lord Lu. If Lord Lu doesn't mind, how about letting my sister enter the mansion as a concubine? I'm afraid that this would be unfair to Lord Lu's sweetheart."
When the ministers heard this, there was an uproar.
"The daughter of the Prime Minister, the younger sister of the imperial concubine, is becoming a concubine to a second-rank official in the imperial court?"
"Master Lu has been silent the whole time. Could it be that he doesn't want to agree? Who is the person Master Lu loves? Why does Master Lu protect her so much?"
"Since it's just a sweetheart, there's really no need to ruin your career for someone you haven't even married yet."
"Isn't it? Not to mention the Prime Minister, even if the Imperial Concubine were to whisper in the Emperor's ear in the future, Lord Lu's life would be difficult."
"What sweetheart? In the end, men still have three wives and four concubines. There's no such thing as love. They just pamper the prettiest and the most obedient ones."
"The Imperial Concubine and the Prime Minister have already said this. If Lord Lu still disagrees..."
The emperor frowned slightly, and the pleasant look on his face that he had just shown when he was rewarding Huo Xiao for his merits was gone.
"Lord Lu, since the Prime Minister is willing to accept my daughter as his concubine, what do you think?"
Lu Mingfeng bowed deeply, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I beg your Excellency, Prime Minister, to understand that I will only have one woman I love in my life and will never take a concubine. If the woman I love cannot marry me, I will never marry anyone else in my life."
The emperor asked knowingly, "I can't believe that Lord Lu is so deeply in love with this girl. I wonder who she is from?"
Lu Mingfeng fell silent again.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to say it, but that’s the eldest princess. Once he says it now, it’s equivalent to telling everyone that he is the eldest princess’s man.
He didn't want to use the eldest princess as a shield when the prime minister wanted to marry his daughter to him.
He really loves the princess.
Seeing that he didn't speak.
The Prime Minister's face darkened and he snorted coldly, "I guess the sweetheart Lord Lu is talking about doesn't exist at all. Lord Lu said this on purpose. Could it be that he looks down on the daughter of my family and thinks that my daughter is not worthy of you, Lord Lu?"
Lu Mingfeng's eyebrows trembled. "Prime Minister, I have absolutely no such intention. It's just that there is a woman whom I like. It's just that I like her, not that she likes me. Please forgive me for not being able to tell you who the woman is at this time."
Upon hearing this, Huo Xiao raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Mingfeng, his eyes dark and unclear.
Right at this moment.
Su Yunyao slowly walked down from the hall.
She looked down at Lu Mingfeng and extended a hand towards him, "This is not Lord Lu's fault. Lord Lu does not need to kneel before His Highness."
Lu Mingfeng slowly raised his eyes, looked at Su Yunyao's hand with red eyes, then raised his eyes and looked at her again, not daring to move.
He didn't expect the princess to come over at this time, and he couldn't figure out why the princess stretched out her hand towards him.
"The eldest princess."
The Prime Minister's voice was not particularly respectful.
In his eyes, the eldest princess was just a complete fool.
If the emperor didn't favor her, how could she be so arrogant?
Especially last time.
For that little thing that happened in Jinjing Tower, the imperial concubine had to apologize in person.
The Prime Minister was very upset about this matter, but he could not find any excuse.
I originally wanted to marry the daughter of the Shangshu Shilang family to the owner of Jinjinglou to win him over.
But I didn't expect that the owner of a jewel shop would be so unmoved by such an olive branch.
But he would never let this matter go.
Su Yunyao smiled in relief, "Prime Minister, please speak."
"This matter has nothing to do with the eldest princess. Let me and Lord Lu resolve it privately." The Prime Minister bowed in response.
"Who said this matter has nothing to do with this princess?" Su Yunyao's eyes showed a coldness, but she smiled: "The sweetheart that Lord Lu mentioned is this princess."
The Prime Minister was completely stunned.
Shu Feigui opened her eyes wide in disbelief.
The whole room was in uproar, and suddenly the silence in the hall was deafening.
Su Yunyao lowered her eyes, "This princess doesn't like to see you kneeling, stand up."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and moved it slightly towards Lu Mingfeng.
Lu Mingfeng was stunned for three seconds. He raised his hand, grabbed Su Yunyao's hand, and stood up from the ground.
emperor:……
He thought that the imperial sister would just sit here and watch the fun and would not care about this matter.
But I didn't expect that he would take such a big action and directly give Lu Mingfeng a formal status?
After Lu Mingfeng stood up, he stood beside Su Yunyao. He wanted to pull his hand back.
After all, such an action was too intimate in front of civil and military officials.
It does have a bad influence on the eldest princess.
But Su Yunyao seemed to see through his little thoughts, and he hadn't even started to move his hands yet.
Her fingers slid in through his fingers and interlocked theirs tightly.
At this moment, Huo Xiao, who was sitting next to him, suddenly stopped breathing.
The tightly clenched hands were like a sharp knife that pierced his heart, causing a heart-wrenching pain in his internal organs. The pain made his whole body tremble and he started coughing violently.
At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on Lu Mingfeng and the eldest princess. No one paid any attention to the protagonist of today's celebration banquet, who was sitting under His Highness...
