C70 (1/2)
Lei Mo clasped his fists and whispered, ”There is one in reply to Esteemed Empress Dowager.”
This sword dance was like a ripple in the hearts of all the ladies. Who wouldn't want to marry such a heroic and magnificent man?
”Oh?” The empress dowager pursed her lips and smiled amiably. ”Which family is it from? If you say it out loud, This Dowager will take charge on your behalf.”
Qian Qian started to panic. Big brother Lei has a woman he likes in his heart, who could it be?
Remo didn't speak for a long time, his head bowed.
”What is it? Is the country's general shy? ” The empress dowager teased him casually. ”This Dowager has a look. You and Zhaoxue are very compatible. You two are a perfect couple. A man of letters and a woman of martial arts will definitely be harmonious with each other in the future.”
The moment he said that, all three of their faces turned pale.
In the eyes of those who didn't know the truth, these two were extremely compatible.
Although Lei Mo was outstanding, in Mu Zhaoxue's eyes, he was still an official. He was far from being as attractive as the high and mighty Empress.
Qian Qian stared blankly as she was about to stand up but she was pulled down by Chu Yunge.
Lei Mo raised his head with a resolute expression and knelt on the ground. ”May Esteemed Empress Dowager retract her order. Princess Zhaoxue is as beautiful as a fairy, so this general really isn't worthy.
Not only did he save Mu Zhaoxue's face, he also expressed his own intentions.
When these words came out, even Chu Yunge felt warm in her heart.
It was just that the spectators were clear, and the ones who entered were not aware of what was happening in Qian Qian's heart.
The empress dowager covered her mouth and laughed twice. ”This one was just teasing. Look at how anxious the both of you are. If the general doesn't like Zhaoxue, then …”
When it came to her life, she knew what this person was thinking just from his expression. Both of them were terrified when she said what she said just now. They really weren't suitable for each other.
Seeing that the empress was still going to point him out, Lei Mo braced himself. ”Esteemed empress, what I'm concerned about is …” It's Princess Qian Qian, you must marry her in this life! If the princess is unwilling, I am willing to guard by her side and not marry for the rest of my life. ”
Never marry... What a promise!
Besides, he was in front of all the civil and military officials!
Chu Yunge laughed brilliantly, as she was finally willing to speak of this wooden fish.
”General, why don't you understand what This Dowager is trying to say? This Dowager also thinks that you and Qian Qian are suitable, but you should know Qian Qian's character.
”Who said I won't marry!?”
A clear and melodious sound echoed throughout the Ten Thousand Blessings Garden. Everyone could hear it very clearly.
This time Chu Yunge did not stop him.
The empress dowager spoke in a slow and unhurried manner. ”Didn't you say you'd never return to the palace in order to escape from marriage? Why are you marrying again?”
Qian Qian blinked her eyes, ”I, in the past, it was I who didn't want to marry, now I want to marry.”
She had her hands on her waist and still had the appearance of an unruly princess, but her mind was in a mess. ”You, you said just now that you could marry me for life?”
Anyone else would have been moved.
Remo hadn't expected that the surprise would come so suddenly.
Although they had been together for a long time, neither of them had ever formally expressed their feelings to each other.
The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile, his eyes filled with love. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, no one would have believed that even the country's general who was so decisive on the battlefield would have such a gentle side.
He said, ”Yes, never.”
Qian Qian continued to ask, ”Then you, then after you marry me, will you still marry someone else?”
”I, Remo, will only have the princess as my only wife in this life.”
Many girls cried at the banquet, how many men in the world could make such a promise?
Qian Qian bit her lips, her face showing a look of unwillingness: ”What if you treat me badly in the future?”
”Then let me die on the battlefield. I won't be able to return.”
The crowd seemed to have exploded.
As a martial general, these two words were the most taboo words to martial artists. It was even more shocking than words of love.
Qian Qian's tears were already flowing out of her eyes.
Chu Yunge's mouth did not move, she clenched her teeth and spat out a few words, ”Endure, don't embarrass yourself!”
Qian Qian turned around as if she didn't hear anything, and faced the Empress Dowager who was in the great hall. ”Royal Grandmother, you can decide for yourself what to do.
Chu Yunge facepalmed slightly, and a few black lines appeared on her forehead. Qian Qian was truly different from others!
Lei Mo's eyes never left Qian Qian's body and was filled with love.
”Hurry up and thank me!”
The two looked at each other before running to His Highness. ”Esteemed Empress Dowager Xie, thank the empress dowager!”
The Empress Dowager nodded with satisfaction, her eyes benevolent, as if everything should have been as it was.
Chu Yunge opened her mouth slightly, as if she vaguely understood something!
She said that she wanted to marry Mu Zhaoxue just to agitate Lei Mo for a while. Maybe she already knew that the two of them had the same thoughts, or perhaps she had already foresaw everything that would happen today when she was betrothed?
Including two people escaping and wandering around, everything was under her control?
