I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle

When Emperor Zhaowu heard Luo Jinyu's name suddenly, he was stunned for a moment, because he had not ordered Luo Jinyu to come back.

Naturally, he also knew that Luo Jinyu had implemented a series of policies in Huangzhou, which were very effective.

In fact, in the past month, Huangzhou has been able to pay some taxes.

You know, taxes in Huangzhou haven't been collected for ten years.

Thinking of this, Emperor Zhaowu groaned and said, "Prince Yelu, you get up first. You don't know that Luo Jinyu, the magistrate of Huangzhou, has sent me a secret report, saying that he has something important to report. So, you can bring up the matter of marriage later, okay?"

"Okay." After saying that, Yelu Wei stood up and walked out, but he only walked outside.

Judging from his attitude, he wants to wait until Luo Jinyu leaves and then come in to continue his proposal.

Soon, Luo Jinyu walked in.

Yes, yes, walked in.

In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Luo Jinyu.

Because they clearly remembered that Luo Jinyu's legs were completely disabled and he was still in a wheelchair before going to Huangzhou.

After a brief moment of shock, Emperor Zhaowu asked the question on everyone's mind: "Lord Luo, is your leg healed?"

"Thanks to your majesty, I can now walk. But, I can't walk too fast."

"I see. In that case, you don't have to bow."

"Yes." Luo Jinyu responded, and then reported some things about Huangzhou.

But Emperor Zhaowu felt that although these matters were important, they were not urgent and did not have to be discussed at this time.

But now that Yelu Wei was here, he didn't ask too much.

Seeing that Luo Jinyu had finished speaking and Yelu Wei was about to come in, Emperor Zhaowu felt a little anxious but did not show it.

He really didn't want to accept Yelu Wei's proposal, but he couldn't find a reasonable reason to refuse.

"Your Majesty, I have the audacity to make an unreasonable request."

"You speak." Emperor Zhaowu wanted to delay time, so he planned to let Luo Jinyu speak for a while.

"Your Majesty, I dare to ask Your Majesty to fulfill your promise and agree to the marriage between me and Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Hmm?" Emperor Zhaowu raised his eyebrows and stared at Luo Jinyu.

Luo Jinyu was calm and composed: "Your Majesty, before I went to Huangzhou, you promised me that if I could manage Huangzhou effectively, you would approve my engagement with the Princess. Now, I have done it, so I rushed back without stopping to ask Your Majesty to approve this matter."

Emperor Zhaowu was an emperor after all, and he reacted quickly.

However, Yelu Wei's reaction was not slow: "Your Majesty, it was the little prince who first proposed the marriage."

"Who is this?" Luo Jinyu asked Xie Xingyuan who was standing next to her.

Xie Xingyuan readily followed suit: "The Regent of Daliang, Yelu Wei."

"Oh, it's Prince Yelu. Forgive me for being frank, but I've already been engaged to the princess. But I was seriously injured at the time, and I felt ashamed of myself and unworthy of the princess, so I never set a date for the wedding. But we've been engaged for a long time."

"Oh, you are a seventh-rank county magistrate, are you now worthy of the princess?"

"Of course I am not worthy of her. However, His Majesty the Great Qi appoints people based on their merits and is not restricted by family background. That is why I have an engagement with Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"I just proposed to you, and you said you were engaged to the Princess. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"

"Prince Yelu's words are strange. My engagement with the Princess Royal Highness was finalized a long time ago, but it was only brought up today. Besides, I didn't know that Prince Yelu wanted to marry the Princess today, so how could I have predicted it?"

Yelu Wei was speechless for a moment, but then he bowed to Emperor Zhaowu and said, "Your Majesty, although we have an engagement, we haven't set a wedding date. So, it can still be changed. I dare to ask for your country's eldest princess' hand in marriage again!"

Emperor Zhaowu looked helpless and said, "Prince Yelu, I should satisfy your request. But I have already promised Lord Luo, and as the saying goes, a king's words are not to be changed."

This means that there is no room for maneuver in this matter.

In an instant, Yelu Wei's face turned ugly and he quickly stood up and said goodbye.

After the people from Daliang left, Emperor Zhaowu left immediately.

The eunuch Yang Defu beside him walked up to Luo Jinyu and Xie Xingyuan and said politely, "My Lord, Your Majesty, the Emperor has ordered you two to go to the Qinzheng Palace to see him."

As the two entered the Qinzheng Hall, they happened to see the gloomy-faced Emperor Zhaowu.

"You two, please tell me." Emperor Zhaowu leaned back in his chair and looked at the two of them quietly.

Xie Xingyuan spoke first: "This matter was my idea. My wife is on good terms with the Princess, and she doesn't want her to go to marry. So I sent a letter to Lord Luo to prepare for any eventuality."

"Oh? To prepare for what? Do you want to wait until the marriage candidate is determined, and then let Luo Jinyu come out to talk about the marriage contract, so as to prevent the eldest princess from being sent to marry?"

"Yes."

Snapped!

Emperor Zhaowu slammed the table and said angrily: "Xie Xingyuan, you are so bold!"

"It is my humble servant who has overstepped his authority."

Emperor Zhaowu snorted coldly, looked at Luo Jinyu, and asked in a deep voice: "Let me ask you, is your request to marry the eldest princess sincere from your heart, or is it just because you don't want to make your sister sad?"

"I am seeking marriage with all my heart."

"You are so good, Luo Jinyu, you are so careful with your words! But I am making this clear today. Since you asked to marry the princess in front of the people of Daliang, you must treat her well for the rest of your life. Don't think that you are the only one in the world who loves your sister. I love my own sister, too."

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will cherish Her Royal Highness the Princess for the rest of my life and will never let her suffer any injustice. If you violate this promise, Your Majesty will deal with you at your discretion."

After hearing this, Emperor Zhaowu's expression looked better.

After that, he stared at Luo Jinyu for a while and said, "Luo Jinyu, take two steps."

"His Majesty?"

"I'll let you take two steps."

Luo Jinyu took two steps obediently.

Emperor Zhaowu took a look and found that although Luo Jinyu walked a little slowly and his posture was different from before, he could at least walk.

Afterwards, Emperor Zhaowu lowered his gaze a little, rubbed his chin, and seemed to be struggling deep in his heart, but he finally asked: "When you were injured, you didn't hurt any vital parts, right?"

puff-

Xie Xingyuan couldn't help laughing out loud, and was glared at by Emperor Zhaowu.

Luo Jinyu lowered his head and replied, "Your Majesty, I am in good health and there is no problem."

"Oh, then back off."

After Emperor Zhaowu sent the two away, he finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

Afterwards, he beckoned Yang Defu to come forward and ordered, "Go and invite the princess here quickly. I can't wait to tell her the news!"

However, before Yang Defu could take two steps forward, Emperor Zhaowu called him back: "Forget it, I will go there myself!"

When Emperor Zhaowu passed by, Princess Heshuo was feeding the koi in the pond.

He stretched his head to take a look and complained, "If you keep feeding them, the fish in your pond will become as fat as pigs."

Princess Heshuo smiled and glared at him: "Brother, don't say that. Even if they are as fat as pigs, they are still the most beautiful!"

Seeing that Princess Heshuo was in a good mood, Emperor Zhaowu said with a smile: "I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
