Chapter 80: Marriage Proposal and Dismissal Investigation
() "Your father and mother have gone back?" Xie Ning looked at the empty Su family and asked doubtfully.
"Well... they called my cell phone and said it was urgent. They went back last night." Su Su nodded.
Immediately, her face turned red again: "Tonight, tonight you can sleep here, just sleep in my room... The quilt and everything are ready... I, I will go back to school to sleep."
"You don't have to... wouldn't it be better to just sleep at home?" the young man said with a smile.
"Xie Ning, you are annoying!" The girl's face turned redder and redder.
"Knowing that those guys said that, I really won't go back. They still don't know how to laugh at me... Moreover, my parents also said that we are not allowed to... behave like that... before we get married..."
The girl murmured, her head lowered, her delicate face already turning bright red.
"Then you have to cook lunch for me before leaving?" Xie Ning said with a smile.
…
Looking at the slim girl in a pink dress wearing an apron, busy in the kitchen, a warm smile flashed in the eyes of the young man leaning at the kitchen door.
This is home...
This is my future wife...
He sighed contentedly and laughed softly.
~~~~~~~~~
"Su Yuewen, you are so brave!" At this time, in the governor's office of a certain province in the empire, a middle-aged and elderly man was sitting in the office, slapping the table and losing his temper.
Standing in front of his desk, Su's father smiled bitterly and explained: "Governor Jiang, something did happen to be unexpected at that time. Moreover, I also came back to ask for leave and have properly arranged the work of our city.
"
"I don't care what accidents you have. As the dignified mayor of a city and the administrative head of a big city, you have given yourself extra leave without permission and left your post for several days without permission. Is it enough to just give a magic word and come back to inform the city?"
How could the council elect an irresponsible person like you as mayor? What a disgrace to our province!"
"In short, you don't need to make excuses, and there is no need to come to me again. You go back first, and I will immediately submit the removal proposal to your city council for review. I think you are no longer suitable for the position of mayor of Wujiang City——
"
Governor Jiang waved his hand like he was shooing away flies and was scolding angrily when he saw the door suddenly opened gently without even knocking.
He was immediately furious: "What's going on outside? Didn't I tell no one to disturb me? What bastard is so bold that he dares to do this-"
…
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?" He suddenly said in shock.
Su's father followed his gaze and looked back, only to see several straight royal guards standing at the door. The emperor strode in with his face as heavy as water.
"Your Majesty, why did you suddenly arrive...this...you see, I was completely unprepared for this." Governor Jiang rushed up to greet you, bowed deeply, and stretched out his hands.
His heart was full of confusion. Although it is now common for the emperor of the empire to go out for a run, why did your majesty suddenly come to our province without any notice or greeting?
It’s over! Just now... I seemed to have scolded His Majesty?
He was suddenly sweating profusely.
But when he saw the emperor looked at him, but still stretched out his hand to shake his hand, his heart suddenly relaxed.
…
"Jiang Yong, as a high-ranking official of the province, you should be more careful when speaking. What does it look like to be full of vulgar words?" the emperor scolded him with a frown.
"Yes, yes." Governor Jiang responded repeatedly, wiping the cold sweat from his head.
"I have some private matters and I would like to interrupt you. Is it convenient?" the emperor asked calmly.
"Convenient, convenient. Your Majesty, please take a seat." Governor Jiang nodded immediately and moved his hands to his seat with a respectful smile on his face.
Then, he turned to Su's father, who was standing quietly aside: "Okay, Su Yuewen, I will talk to you about your matters tomorrow. Your Majesty and I have something to discuss now, so you go out first."
"Wait a minute, I'm looking for Mayor Su." Just as he was saying this, he saw the emperor who was already sitting in his seat and spoke calmly again.
Governor Jiang's face froze, and he suddenly looked embarrassed: "Then... Your Majesty, are you talking here?"
Seeing the emperor nod slightly, he asked tentatively: "Then, the minister will go out first?"
"No, it just so happens that your identity is enough. Just be a witness here and you'll be fine soon."
The emperor said again.
…
Then, he stood up and walked out, standing in front of Su's father: "Mayor of Wujiang City, Su Yuewen?"
"It's me, Your Majesty." Su's father also bowed and stretched out his hands, but saw that the emperor, who was sinking like water in front of him, had already smiled slightly, and actually held his hands back.
Governor Jiang looked a little straight-eyed.
How can this Su Yuewen... a small mayor deserve such respect from His Majesty? Even today, he seems to have come to see him personally?
He thought in confusion.
…
"You have a daughter named Su Su. She graduated from Emperor No. 1 Middle School and is currently studying at the Magic Equipment Branch of the Imperial Magic Energy Research Institute?" Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the emperor speaking again.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Father Su had vaguely guessed the intention of the Emperor's sudden arrival, and a slight smile appeared on his face.
"That's right. Mayor Su, I am here today as the eldest son of King Yong of the Empire and the first-class Yongwu Marquis Xie Ning to propose marriage to my concubine Su Su. I hope her permission will be granted." The Emperor said.
Said with a smile.
…
Governor Jiang was stunned.
What? Did I hear that right?
Today, as the eldest son of King Yong of the Empire and the first-class Yongwu Marquis Xie Ning, I propose to marry my concubine Su Su. I hope your permission will be granted?
Could it be...
His face suddenly turned a little pale.
…
But he saw that Su's father had already laughed. He bowed slightly and said: "Your Majesty is so kind, and the two young children have already been in love for life. How dare I refuse."
"That's good." The emperor also said with a smile. He waved and an attendant came in respectfully and handed a luxurious box to the emperor.
"This is an engagement ceremony. I hope my relatives will accept it for Su Su." The emperor smiled slightly.
"How dare you, a humble minister, claim to be your majesty's in-laws?" Su's father smiled and took the box with both hands.
"I am also the elder in Marquis Yongwu's family, so you deserve it." The emperor smiled.
…
Immediately, he asked again: "I will choose a good and auspicious day soon to prepare the engagement ceremony for my two children. I wonder if my in-laws will be free then?"
"Your Majesty has chosen an auspicious occasion and told Wei Chen to do it. Wei Chen is just waiting to come and participate." Su's father responded with a smile.
"That's enough." The emperor clapped his hands and said with a smile.
"This is my first time to propose marriage to a junior in my family, and I don't know if it's in compliance with the rules. I just dealt with it carelessly. On the day of the engagement, I will definitely have a good drink with my in-laws. I have a busy schedule today, so I won't disturb my in-laws and their family.
...Jiang Yong, you are handling government affairs."
The emperor glanced at Governor Jiang, who was already covered in cold sweat, and after paying a slight greeting to Su's father, he turned and left.
…
The atmosphere became somewhat silent after the emperor left.
Father Su looked at the box in front of him curiously, and when he opened it, his eyes were immediately dazzled by the jewels.
"Is this...Aqua Heart?" Governor Jiang, who was standing aside blankly, looked over and said in shock.
He looked at Su's father with a smile on his face: "Old Su, it seems that your wife is deeply loved by His Royal Highness, Prince Yong, and also highly valued by His Majesty. Did you know? This necklace is a royal heirloom.
One of the four-heart jewelery of the Elements. The whole body is made of four flawless four-color gemstones that took several years to be carefully carved. It is a masterpiece of the famous jewelery master Mr. Qi Quan a hundred years ago. There are only four of them in the world.
There is no other fifth place!”
He said full of envy and excitement.
…
"Governor, I'm afraid I'll have to ask for leave again in a few days." Father Su closed the box and said with a slight wry smile.
"That's natural, that's natural. Reports and approvals follow. Brother Su, His Majesty just asked me to bear witness for you. When the time comes, you must call me?" Governor Jiang nodded repeatedly and said with a smile.
"It's an honor for me and my daughter that you are willing to honor me. However, Governor, I was already punished by you for taking too long a vacation. Look at this..."
"What punishment?" Governor Jiang said in surprise.
Immediately, he seemed to have remembered something, his face changed, and he said seriously: "Brother Su, you are slapping me in the face. I just hated iron for not being able to become steel. The words were a bit harsh, but they are also
For your own good. After all, although we all belong to different parties, we all serve the empire and the people, right?"
"It doesn't matter if I find out that you are not here all the time. You can get angry at most, and it will be over after the anger is over. We are still good colleagues. I have always fully trusted your abilities and qualities. But I am afraid that there will be
The villain should complain to the higher authorities."
"Well, let's not go back tonight. Let's bring our families and get together with the whole family. How many drinks can we have? Firstly, I was angry just now, so I may have spoken a bit harshly and apologized to you. Secondly, I have to treat you well.
Celebrating the marriage between my wife and His Royal Highness Prince Yong."
Governor Jiang looked at Su's father expectantly and asked tentatively.
"The governor is so kind, it would be disrespectful to refuse." Su's father said with a smile.
"If there's nothing else, then I'll leave first? I still have to inform my wife. She probably doesn't know about it yet." He raised the box in his hand and said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, don't eat first tonight, or wait for my brother's magic words." Governor Jiang sent Su's father out of the door with a smile on his face.
~~~~~~~~~
At the banquet, the two men chatted and laughed, drinking and drinking. One of the two women was full of jealousy but flattering. The other played with the Blue Heart all night. Basically, there was no bite of rice.
eat.
"Old Su, look, she's so beautiful." When everyone had finished drinking and eating, the banquet was finally over. On the way home in the car, Su's mother still couldn't put it down, playing with the necklace in her hand and putting it on her neck.
He put it on again and said happily.
"Of course, this is one of the most perfect pieces of jewelry in the empire and even the continent. Moreover, it belongs to my daughter. Don't play with it or break it, or your daughter will cry for you." Father Su couldn't stand it.
Yes, he reminded me helplessly.
"Oh, before my son-in-law puts it on my daughter, let me play for a while. You see how good our son-in-law is to our daughter. He is even willing to give away the Blue Heart. His Majesty personally gave it to him after all these years.
Now, I’ve never seen you buy me anything like this. Hmm, it’s not good for me at all.”
Su's mother rolled her eyes at Su's father, showing her rare tenderness as a child.
Su's father suddenly smiled bitterly when he heard this. He didn't know who had a huge quarrel with his daughter at that time. It's better now. My son-in-law is so good to his daughter, but I am not good to you. Isn't he a good husband?
Moreover, can I afford this Aqua Heart? You might as well sell it to me to see if you can get some scraps from it?
He cursed secretly in his heart, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
