Chapter 164: Request for Marriage, Eighteen

Wei Ting raised his head and looked directly at the person on the dragon throne.

He said with a firm expression: "The one I want to marry is the fifth daughter of the Ji family, Ji Qingwu."

There was a surge of fear in Emperor Wu Su's eyes, but Wei Ting did not try to dodge.

As the sunlight outside grew brighter, the whole hall suddenly erupted in noise and discussion.

Prince Yong, who was standing in the front row, turned his head stiffly and looked at Wei Ting who was kneeling in the hall.

Prince Yong has lost a lot of weight recently, and the evil in his eyes seems to have disappeared as well.

He originally wanted to be a spectator, but when he heard Wei Ting say that the person he wanted to marry was Ji Qingwu, he couldn't help but make a surprised sound.

After what happened last time, Prince Yong lost both his wife and his soldiers.

This fifth cousin's method was not very clever, but she was extremely lucky. There were thousands of people in the palace, but she couldn't pick anyone, so she chose the Princess of Yong, who he had deliberately ignored.

Only if Ji Qingwu accurately hits his weak spot will he be willing to be plotted against.

Having good luck is also a kind of skill.

Unexpectedly, Ji Qingwu’s abilities are more than that.

Even Wei Ting, who was far away in the north, wanted to marry her, and he brought up the matter in public on the first day he returned to court.

Thinking back to the last time the emperor summoned him to the Qinzheng Hall, although he did not make his intentions clear, he still went to such great lengths to do so, and Prince Yong vaguely smelled something unusual.

Emperor Wu Su had special feelings for Ji Qingwu.

Now, the pregnant Tao Wanyin is still detained in Anle Hall in the palace. This is a good time for him to show his ability.

Prince Yong thought for a while before he stepped out, walked to the center of the hall, and stood next to Wei Ting.

"Brother, the fifth daughter of the Ji family is my cousin. If Wei Ting wants to marry a girl from the Ji family, I think he should first ask the Queen Mother for her opinion."

Even if you use your toes to think, the Queen Mother would definitely not agree to let a girl from the Ji family marry into the Wei family.

There seemed to be a silent blue flame in Emperor Wu Su's eyes. He had a gloomy face and said nothing.

Not long after Prince Yong finished speaking, Li Chengxun, wearing a red robe, also walked out from among the civil officials on the left.

"Why did General Wei ask to marry Miss Ji Wu? The general has been in the northern border for a long time and may not know that Miss Ji Wu has been married and has a daughter."

Wei Ting looked at them with a smile, his eyes full of meaning.

Prince Yong and the number one scholar came out one after another, and what they said was nothing more than an attempt to stop him. It was understandable that these two were on the side of the Empress Dowager.

Wei Ting said fearlessly: "So what? I will also go to the Queen Mother to ask for help myself."

The more he was stopped, the more determined he became.

A black-clad general stepped out quickly from the right and shouted to the emperor, "Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Wei Ting turned around and saw clearly who he was.

His brows furrowed slightly. This man used to be his subordinate and they had a good personal relationship. Why did he come out to go against him?

What was even more unexpected was that the black-clad general knelt directly behind Wei Ting.

Emperor Wu Su's expression began to become unpredictable, and he said in a cold voice: "Wu Bo, what are you going to say?"

The young general shouted courageously, "I also want to marry the fifth daughter of the Ji family!"

His mother was the lady who held Ji Qingwu's arm and refused to let go on the court that day.

Hearing this, the smile on Wei Ting's face completely disappeared.

Emperor Wu Su's hair crown moved, and the jade beads made a crisp sound.

What was even more "surprising" was that, with Wei Ting at the lead, many generals came out and knelt behind him.

All she said was asking the emperor to marry Ji Qingwu.

It's no different if you ask for it alone, so everyone who had thought about it during the horse riding and archery competition should stand up.

Their mother was turned away at the Ji Mansion, so these people simply went before the Emperor and lined up.

Emperor Wu Su looked coldly at the people who appeared in the hall one after another, and soon many ministers were kneeling in the center of the hall.

This kind of scene has never happened before, except for the last time when the emperor punished corruption.

But last time, the whole hall was in turmoil, and one could hear a pin drop. Now, it is complete chaos.

Emperor Wu Su swept his cold eyes across their faces one by one.

Very good, eighteen in total.

Several generals were trying to show their strength by stiffening their necks, but suddenly they felt that their heavy official uniforms were letting in the wind. Their necks felt chilly and the hair on their backs stood up.

They quietly raised their heads and looked upwards, and found that the emperor's gaze was even more intimidating than that of General Wei.

No one expected this scene.

Even Wei Ting, a calm man, had not expected that there would be so many men coveting Ji Qingwu.

Originally, he thought that asking for the emperor's permission for the marriage would only require the emperor's approval, but now the situation has become more and more complicated.

Wei Ting's mouth could no longer smile.

This woman tried her best to seduce him in the North, but gave up halfway and suddenly disappeared.

Now, after being adopted by the Ji family and returning to Lin'an, it has only been a few months and she has already attracted so many wild men.

She is really busy all the time!

It was not until an old man in his sixties stepped forward that Wei Ting's normal expression, which he had managed to maintain, finally began to break.

The emotions churning in his eyes became much stronger, and his hanging hands were clenched into fists.

The white-haired old man smiled and said, "I haven't seen General Wei Ting for many years."

Wei Ting turned his head and took a closer look before he recognized that it was Academician Li, who looked much older.

He said in a bad tone: "I haven't heard the news that Madam Li passed away. Lord Li also wants to marry a new wife? Do you want to compete with me?"

Li Daxueshi shook his head and said slowly: "General Wei, you are ashamed of me. It's not that I am ashamed. I have a son who loves Miss Ji Wu. I am here to ask for your help for my third son, Li Shuming..."

“That’s enough!”

The emperor sitting on the throne in the palace finally spoke.

Silence returned to the court, and one could seem to hear each other's breathing in the dull environment.

Emperor Wu Su pinched his brows, as if he was annoyed, and said: "This Fifth Miss Ji, you all want to ask for it, but no matter which family you give it to, it will hurt your friendship. Don't mention this matter again."

This means that no family can ask Miss Ji to marry them.

Wei Ting's narrow eyes flashed, and he said, "Your Majesty, I am different from them."

Emperor Wu Su paused and asked: "How is it different?"

Wei Ting straightened his back and said, "The difference is that Miss Ji Wu has always been fond of me, and I should be her husband."

Emperor Wu Su said calmly, "General Zhenbei, please think carefully before answering."

Wei Ting understood the threat from the emperor, but since he had spoken, there was no turning back.

"What I said is true. Five years ago, Miss Ji, who was still wandering outside, used the name Ji Wu and worked as a military doctor in the military camp in the northern border. The soldiers in my camp all knew her."

The others who were kneeling on the ground had no idea that Ji Qingwu had such a past. They just thought that she had been wandering in the countryside.

Emperor Wu Su's pupils constricted, and the warmth in his eyes completely disappeared.

Wei Ting was like a victorious man, with a smile on his face again.

"At that time, Miss Ji Wu was obsessed with me. There are many witnesses who can confirm this."

"Oh, by the way, she once wrote me dozens of affectionate letters. I still have one of these letters with me, so I can show it to you."
