I have traveled through time, who am I afraid of?

Xiao Jingyu had already said this, so it was not appropriate for everyone to continue to pay their respects, otherwise it would really be as Xiao Jingyu said -

It’s because the Anguo Mansion “disdains and refuses guests”!

Duke Anguo Fu Peng invited Xiao Jingyu to take the seat of honor, but Xiao Jingyu refused. He only sat in the guest seat and gave the seat of honor to Duke Anguo Fu Peng.

Xiao Jingyu's attitude was exactly like a junior meeting an elder.

Everyone saw this and couldn't help but feel suspicious, wondering what Xiao Jingyu's purpose was in coming here.

Following Xiao Jingyu were Suifeng and Tinglei.

Both of them held several gift boxes in their hands.

Xiao Jingyu motioned for the two to come forward and present the gifts.

Duke Anguo Fu Peng hurriedly stood up and refused, "Your Highness, you can't do that!

As the saying goes, no reward without merit.

How can an old minister accept such a generous gift from the prince for no reason? "

Xiao Jingyu stood up with a smile and said respectfully: "My Lord, you are wrong!

Xiao Wang seldom greets me in normal times, so today is my first visit and it is only natural that I should bring a small gift.

I hope Your Majesty will accept it!

Otherwise, Xiao Wang would be embarrassed!"

"Your Majesty, what you said is going to embarrass this old minister!

This... this..." Duke Anguo Fu Peng looked embarrassed, not knowing whether to push or take it back.

Xiao Jingyu signaled Suifeng and Tinglei to put down the gifts, "You two put down the gifts and wait for me outside."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Suifeng and Tinglei gently placed the gifts in their hands on the table beside them, then bowed and turned to retreat out of the hall.

Servants from the Duke's Mansion brought tea.

Duke Anguo Fu Peng personally picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Xiao Jingyu, "Your Highness, please have some tea!"

"Thank you, Duke!" Xiao Jingyu thanked him and quickly reached out to take it.

Open the cup lid and a faint tea fragrance will waft out.

Xiao Jingyu took a sip and couldn't help but praise: "Good tea! It's really good tea!"

Then, Xiao Jingyu took two more sips before putting the teacup on the table next to him.

Xiao Jingyu raised his head and looked at everyone present.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Jingyu at this moment.

Xiao Jingyu knew in his heart that everyone must be wondering what the purpose of his visit today was.

Duke Anguo Fu Peng also drank two sips of tea.

Putting down the teacup, Duke Anguo Fu Peng looked at Xiao Jingyu and said, "May I ask Your Majesty, since Your Majesty has come to my humble abode, what advice do you have for me?"

Xiao Jingyu, who was already under the gaze of everyone, heard Duke Anguo Fu Peng ask, and for a moment his expression became a little unnatural, as if he was a little embarrassed and shy.

Everyone saw it and had some guesses in their minds.

However, without hearing Xiao Jingyu say it himself, they did not dare to make any conclusions.

So everyone still looked at Xiao Jingyu, waiting for him to answer.

Xiao Jingyu looked at Anguogong Fu Peng, then at the people present, calmed himself down, and said solemnly and seriously: "Duke, ladies and gentlemen, Madam, I am here... to ask for something!"

When they heard Xiao Jingyu say that he had something to ask for, their hearts skipped a beat.

Have something to ask for?

Apart from the arranged marriage, what else could Prince Yu ask of the Duke Anguo's Mansion?

The current emperor and empress only have two sons.

The eldest son, the current Crown Prince Xiao Jingye;

The second son was Prince Yu, Xiao Jingyu.

Prince Yu has been gifted and intelligent since birth.

When the late emperor was alive, he loved it like a treasure.

Because of his excellent physique, he was noticed by Lingxu Zhenren, who took him as his personal disciple and brought him to Ruoxu Peak to teach him personally.

Therefore, Prince Yu was away from the capital for many years.

To this day, he has not participated in government affairs.

Because of this, Prince Yu had little contact with important officials in the court and aristocratic families in the capital.

If he could ask anything of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion...

Then there is only one option, which is the marriage granted by the Emperor.

Since he came here for the Emperor's marriage, Prince Yu could only have two purposes for coming here -

First, Prince Yu was dissatisfied with the emperor's arbitrary decision to arrange a marriage for him, and he wanted to cancel the engagement;

two is……

Everyone continued to look at Prince Yu Xiao Jingyu, waiting for him to continue speaking.

Xiao Jingyu encouraged himself in his heart: In order to marry Xiaoyue'er, for his little princess, he would fight for it!

Xiao Jingyu bowed to Anguogong Fu Peng and the people present and said, "I came here today because of my father's imperial decree granting marriage.

really!

These two words appeared in everyone's mind at the same time, "Sure enough!"

Xiao Jingyu really came here to arrange a marriage. Then let's listen to what he has to say.

When Duke Anguo Fu Peng heard that Xiao Jingyu really came for the marriage, his expression became very indifferent.

After all, they had never been ecstatic about this arranged marriage.

On the contrary, their Yue'er didn't care about this arranged marriage at all, nor did she want to accept the imperial decree. If she could cancel this marriage, it would be exactly what she wanted!

However, since the emperor has issued an imperial decree to grant the marriage, the marriage has become a fact.

Even if they want to cancel the engagement, even if Prince Yu comes in person today to cancel the engagement, they have to say the words of cancellation first.

Yue'er is Fu Peng's most precious granddaughter and the pride of the Anguo Mansion!

For Yue'er's sake, they must be the first to speak up about canceling the engagement!
