Chapter 108: Picking the day is worse than hitting the sun
"Prince Hao, Princess Hao, I, as a mother, can make the final decision regarding your child's marriage. My general is also a man who understands justice. I can guarantee that he will not have any objections. Please rest assured."
Chu Yunxi looked at his mother with admiration. Although her mother was always gentle and gentle, she was unambiguous in important matters. Whenever her mother made up her mind, her father never objected.
Princess Hao was also stunned. She had never seen such an independent lady, and she never thought that she could be King Hao's master. For a moment, she respected Mrs. Chu a little more.
Seeing King Hao's hesitation, Chu Yunxi had no choice but to remind him that time waits for no one.
"Prince Hao, if you wait until Duke Xiao goes to court with the imperial edict, are you really going to let Princess Guo marry someone like Xiao Zhang?"
King Hao felt nervous. Xiao Guogong said that he was going to ask for a decree. It should not be as simple as just saying. What if the emperor really ignored the brotherly feelings and agreed to the marriage, what would his daughter do?
"Why don't we ask Princess Guo what she wants. If she is not willing, let this matter go. We will make other plans. If she is willing..."
Before Chu Yunxi finished speaking, Princess Guo's voice came: "I don't want to."
Chu Wenzhong turned to look at this determined woman, feeling very disappointed. Princess Guo really didn't like him.
Chu Wenzhong blushed slightly and lowered his head, then heard Princess Guo say:
"I don't want Mr. Chu to marry me because he sympathizes with me and to save me. Mr. Chu should marry the woman he likes and stay with her for the rest of his life."
Chu Wenzhong is a good person, and she doesn't want to implicate him. The Xiao family has targeted her. Now, she is like a fish on the chopping board, but she will not let others slaughter her. At worst, both jade and stone will be destroyed.
"Who said I don't like you? I, I like you, I like you very much."
Chu Wenzhong didn't know where he got the courage to confess his love directly to Princess Guo.
Princess Guo, who was holding her breath, suddenly lost her guard. What did he say? He likes her. They, including this time, have only met three times.
"Princess Guo, have you ever heard of love at first sight? My eldest brother fell in love with you at first sight. As long as you nod, our Chu family will overcome all difficulties and marry you back. From now on, you will be my sister-in-law."
Chu Yunxi grabbed Princess Guo and promised with a smile.
Princess Guo could hear her own heartbeat. Chu Wenzhong's appearance was as outstanding as other children in the Chu family. Moreover, Princess Guo liked people with true temperaments. Chu Wenzhong was highly skilled in martial arts and kind-hearted.
It seemed good to marry him as his wife, and to have a transparent woman like Chu Yunxi as my sister-in-law.
Mrs. Chu also seems to be easy to get along with. In the Chu family, she should be able to live for herself as Chu Yunxi said, without having to look at her mother-in-law and aunt's face every day.
Chu Yunxi looked at Princess Guo's expression and knew that Princess Guo had passed this test.
"If you don't speak, I'll take it as your acquiescence." Chu Yunxi joked.
Princess Guo really didn't say anything anymore, but turned her head away shyly.
Chu Wenzhong was so happy that he immediately knelt down towards King Hao and Princess Hao.
"Prince Hao, Princess Hao, I, Chu Wenzhong, swear that if I can marry Princess Guo, I will treat her well for the rest of my life and not let her suffer any injustice. I beg you to do it."
Princess Hao was moved and turned to look at King Hao expectantly.
"Father." Jun Zifeng took a step forward at this time.
"Even if my father has always been wise to protect himself, if Xiao Guogong and his gang are in power, will he let him go? It's better to make his position clear and give it a try."
King Hao looked at the grown-up Jun Zifeng and sighed in his heart. He had been shrinking for so many years for the safety of his child, and he had almost forgotten that he was also a bloody descendant of the Jun family. Now, his son can take charge of his own affairs.
"Okay, I, Prince Hao, are willing to marry General Chu's family and share the honor and disgrace."
Chu Wenzhong showed his white teeth and turned to look at Princess Guo. Princess Guo lowered her head in shame and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.
One moment, she was thinking about dying with Xiao Zhang, and the next moment, she became Chu Wenzhong's fiancée.
At this time, the servants came to report that the third son of the Chu family came with the matchmaker and betrothal gift.
"Open the door and welcome guests!"
The suffocation that King Hao had been holding in for many years seemed to have been swept away, and now his face was radiant and full of vitality.
Jun Zifeng went to the door to receive him in person. When Chu Wenjin saw this situation, he knew that his eldest brother's marriage was finally settled. With a happy face, he directed his servants to carry boxes one by one into Prince Hao's Mansion.
Prince Hao's Mansion has become the center of public opinion today. The onlookers who followed Chu Wenjin all the way are now blocked outside the gate of Prince Hao's Mansion.
Prince Hao's Mansion rejected the betrothal gift brought by Duke Xiao, but accepted the betrothal gift from the Third Young Master of Chu.
"Prince Hao is going to marry his daughter into the Chu family."
"This is a slap in Duke Xiao's face."
The betrothal gifts prepared by Chu Wenjin were actually ten boxes more than those brought by Duke Xiao, which greatly satisfied the onlookers, who all stretched their necks.
"See, if the daughter of this family can marry into the Chu family, she will be blessed."
The matchmaker invited by Chu Wenjin was all smiles. It was so easy to earn money. Both families had already agreed. She only had to say some auspicious words to please her and she would get the money.
"Congratulations, the eldest son of Chu and the princess of Guo, they are such a talented and beautiful couple. They are destined to be destined to be together for three lifetimes, playing the piano and the harp in harmony."
"Reward!" Princess Hao listened to these auspicious words, thinking that her daughter finally had a good home, and she couldn't help but feel sad.
"Thank you, Princess, thank you, Princess." The matchmaker bowed repeatedly.
"Prince Hao, Princess Hao, I have a bold idea. Please listen to it. If there is anything wrong in what I say, just think that I am young and ignorant."
Chu Yunxi suddenly spoke, but when she said this, several people didn't know what she wanted to say, and the lively scene became quiet for a while.
"But it doesn't matter." King Hao agreed.
"In my opinion, it's better to choose a different date than to coincide with it. Why not, let's have the wedding together today to avoid a long night with too many dreams."
Several people present stood stunned on the spot. For Chu Yunxi, this was truly shocking.
"Although I am in a hurry, I will never wrong my sister-in-law. My third brother can make the arrangements. Third brother, don't you think so?"
Chu Yunxi now has an inexplicable trust in Chu Wenjin. Look at how well she managed the betrothal gift and even brought a matchmaker. It was more thoughtful than she thought.
"Ah? Oh, oh, yes."
He must be able to do it, but he must be able to do it even if he can't. Without looking at his sister's trusting and adoring eyes, even if he was asked to go up mountains of swords and seas of fire, he would go.
Princess Guo was also moved. If she could marry into the general's mansion today and put an end to Xiao Guogong's conspiracy, she would be willing.
"Father, mother, and daughter are willing to marry."
Although Princess Guo blushed, she expressed her stance firmly. Chu Wenzhong felt as sweet as honey.
King Hao and Princess Hao looked at each other. Nothing is more important than their daughter's lifelong happiness. Compared with this, what are etiquette and rules?
"Matchmaker, let's do nothing for the two of us. Please marry our daughter."
Princess Hao turned to the matchmaker, who had her mouth wide open.
However, this way she could get two pieces of silver: "Yes, yes, a civilian woman will definitely do her best."
"Then let's go back and make some preparations."
Mrs. Chu was also excited, and it was a pleasure to fight quickly.
