Chapter 183 The fragrance of goose pear in the tent
After hearing what his fifth brother said, Murong Xuanyu immediately knew what to do.
He brought the gifts to the Dong residence. When General Dong saw Murong Xuanyu, he frowned and said unhappily, "Your Highness the Ninth Prince, I think I have made it very clear to Your Highness before, right?
Murong Xuanyu quickly said, "General Dong, I really like Qingqing. I came here this time to express my feelings to you. I know that I was too cynical in the past, which caused you to misunderstand me. But please believe me, for Qingqing, I am willing to change and become someone she can rely on." After saying that, Murong Xuanyu bowed deeply.
Seeing this, General Dong's expression softened slightly. He said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, it's not that I am unreasonable. It's just that the disputes in the royal family are complicated, and I really don't want my daughter to be involved."
After hearing this, Murong Xuan said seriously: "General Dong, I understand your concerns, but I am willing to assure you that I will do my best to protect Qingqing and prevent her from getting hurt."
General Dong did not respond, as if he did not want to talk to him anymore.
Murong Xuanyu hastily expressed his position: "General Dong, I am willing to accept your test. No matter what you ask, I will agree. I only ask you to give me a chance. I am sincere to Qingqing."
General Dong was silent for a long time before he said, "Your Highness, I understand your intentions. But I only have this one daughter, and I just hope she is safe and healthy."
Murong Xuanyu gritted his teeth and said, "General Dong, as long as you are willing to marry Qingqing to me, I promise that I will never take a concubine in this life, and I am willing to spend my life with Qingqing. Please believe me and give me a chance to take care of her."
General Dong looked at him with surprise. Did he really like his daughter so much that he could promise her that he would never take a concubine? You have to know that except for Prince Jing, all other adult princes in the royal family had three wives and four concubines. Prince Jing had only been married for a short time. It would probably be a while before he would take a concubine.
Seeing Murong Xuanyu's determined eyes, General Dong couldn't help but feel a little moved. After a while, he seemed to be weighing something. He sighed and said, "Forget it. Since you insist so much, I will give you a chance. However, you must remember what you said today. If you violate it, I will not forgive you easily, no matter if you are a prince or not."
He knew his daughter's mind, and he didn't want to be the one who broke up the couple. Since the Ninth Prince had promised that he would never take a concubine for the sake of his daughter, he would believe him this time. If anyone dared to touch his daughter and son-in-law in the future, they would have to ask Dong Biao if he agreed.
After hearing this, Murong Xuanyu's eyes flashed with joy, and he quickly replied respectfully: "Thank you Uncle Dong for your help, Xuanyu will definitely live up to your expectations."
General Dong glanced at Murong Xuanyu and continued, "However, this matter still needs the emperor's approval. After all, marriage is a big matter and needs the permission of parents and the matchmaker. You need to obtain the emperor's imperial decree to marry Qingqing legitimately."
Murong Xuanyu couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, but when he thought of what his fifth brother had said before, he said firmly, "Uncle, you can rest assured. I have asked my fifth brother to help persuade my father, and he has already agreed to my promise to make this happen in a few months."
General Dong nodded, tacitly approving his move. After all, if a prince wanted to marry the daughter of a general, the matter would need to be carefully considered by the emperor. It would probably take a lot of careful consideration.
Afterwards, he ordered people to accept the gifts brought by Murong Xuanyu and personally escorted him to the gate of the mansion.
Looking at Murong Xuanyu's departing back, General Dong felt mixed emotions, worried about his daughter's future and doubtful about whether Murong Xuanyu could keep his promise. But no matter what, he had already taken this step, and the rest could only be left to time.
General Dong returned to the mansion and came to Dong Qingqing's room. He saw Dong Qingqing sitting in front of the dressing table, thinking about something.
He walked up to Dong Qingqing and said, "Qingqing, the Ninth Prince just came down."
Dong Qingqing's eyes lit up instantly, and she asked anxiously: "Dad, he's here? What did he say? Did he..."
General Dong sighed and told Dong Qingqing about Murong Xuanyu's promise and determination. He said, "Qingqing, His Highness the Ninth Prince promised me today that he would never take a concubine in his lifetime and would only spend his life with you."
After listening to him, Dong Qing's eyes sparkled with tears. She said with emotion: "Dad, I know that you have always forbidden me to marry into the royal family because you are worried about me. But I believe in Xuanyu and am willing to marry him. I hope you will agree to my wish."
What else could he do if he didn't get married? Sigh! He looked at Dong Qingqing and asked softly, "Qingqing, are you really determined to marry the Ninth Prince? Is it really necessary for you to marry him?"
Dong Qingqing turned her head, looked at her father, and nodded firmly, "Dad, I have made up my mind. It has to be him."
General Dong sighed, "Okay, Daddy respects your choice. But the power struggles in the palace are extremely complicated. You have to learn to protect yourself."
Dong Qingqing was stunned, totally unable to believe it. She didn't expect her father to agree so readily this time, "Dad, really? Do you really agree?"
General Dong touched Dong Qingqing's head lovingly, "Silly girl, everything Daddy did was for you. Since His Highness the Ninth Prince has promised that he will never take a concubine in his lifetime, Daddy will believe him this time."
After listening to her, Dong Qing finally felt relieved. She hugged her father tightly and said gratefully, "Thank you, Dad. I will be happy."
……
Murong Xuanyi sat quietly in the study, and no one knew what he was thinking about. He had been sitting like this since noon until it got dark. During this time, his hands kept tapping rhythmically on the table, as if he was considering a very difficult decision. After a long time, he finally stood up slowly, picked up an exquisite box containing objects on the table, and then walked straight towards the direction of the palace.
In the imperial study, Emperor Kang Ren was concentrating on reviewing memorials. After several months of recuperation, he was now fully recovered. He looked full of energy and energy, and in good spirits. He had long forgotten Hua Qiansong's previous instructions. Although Emperor Kang Ren had a lustful problem, he was still one of the most diligent emperors in handling state affairs.
Seeing Murong Xuanyi coming, he couldn't help but frowned slightly and asked, "Old Five, why are you here so late? What's the matter?"
When Murong Xuanyi was acting as the government's deputy last time, Emperor Kangren granted him a privilege, which was to enter the palace at will without his approval. But he didn't expect that after that, Lao Wu would go to the palace whenever he had something to do, and the number of times was too many, which inevitably made Emperor Kangren feel unhappy. It seemed that he had to find a time to take back the privilege granted to him.
Murong Xuanyi bowed respectfully and said, "I heard from Eunuch Fu that my father has not been sleeping well at night recently, so I specially asked someone to bring back this long-lost goose pear tent incense from the folk. This incense is more calming and sleep-inducing than ambergris. I thought it might help my father sleep well, so I hurriedly brought it to the palace to present to my father."
When Emperor Kang Ren heard this, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes. His expression eased a little, but he still said with a bit of scrutiny: "It's rare that you have such filial piety, but have you checked these folk things carefully? Don't bring anything else into the palace."
Murong Xuanyi hurriedly bowed again, saying sincerely, "Don't worry, Father. I have ordered people to check it carefully and there is absolutely nothing wrong. I just hope that you can sleep well and be healthy. This is my greatest wish."
Emperor Kang Ren nodded slightly, motioning Fu Quan to bring the exquisite box over. Fu Quan took the box lightly and opened it. A faint and elegant fragrance slowly drifted out, lingering in the imperial study. Emperor Kang Ren sniffed it gently, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Well, this fragrance is quite unique. Old Fifth, you are so thoughtful." Emperor Kang Ren said, his eyes lingering on Murong Xuanyi for a moment.
Murong Xuanyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his face remained respectful: "As long as your Majesty likes it, it's good. If this incense can really help your Majesty sleep more peacefully, then I will have done my filial duty."
"Okay, now that you've been delivered, you should go back early. It's getting late, so don't stay in the palace too long." Emperor Kang Ren waved his hand and said casually.
Murong Xuanyi understood the meaning of Emperor Kang Ren's words and quickly responded, "Yes, your son will take his leave. Your Majesty, please go to bed early." After that, he slowly left the imperial study.
