My best friend is wearing a double body! Marry the emperor! Help me win the throne
Chapter 140 Is General Xue willing to marry the Princess of Nanzhao?
The next day, the autumn hunt ended successfully, and Murong Che prepared to lead a group of princes and ministers down the mountain.
The man was about to sit on the dragon chariot when Lan Luo suddenly walked up to Murong Che and bowed gracefully, "Your Majesty, Luo'er has something to ask of you!"
Murong Che's eyes fell on her and he raised an eyebrow, "What's the matter?"
Lan Luo had clearly dressed up carefully today, with delicate makeup on, and her eyes were full of charm. "Your Majesty, I witnessed General Xue Wuji's bravery while hunting at the hunting grounds these past few days and I was very impressed. I would like to ask Your Majesty to grant a marriage between Luoer and General Xue!"
Her voice was clear and pleasant, and everyone present's eyes lit up after hearing her bold declaration of love to Xue Wuji.
It is said that the people of Nanzhao are open-minded, and this reputation is indeed well-deserved. The princess actually took the initiative to tell the emperor that she wanted to marry Xue Wuzhi.
I just don’t know if the emperor will fulfill her wish?
The moment Xue Wuzhi heard his name from Lan Luo, the expression on his handsome face froze.
During the autumn hunt, he didn't say a word to Princess Nanzhao. Why did Princess Nanzhao ask the emperor to grant them a marriage?
Could it be because when he was in southern Xinjiang, he won all nine battles against Nanzhao?
So, this woman asked for permission to marry him just to disgust him and take revenge on him?
I think this is the only possibility.
Yu Minyan, who was standing next to Xue Wuji, felt a tightness in his heart and subconsciously turned his head to look at Xue Wuji, wanting to know firsthand what his attitude was towards Lan Luo's request for marriage.
"Ali, this woman is too shameless, isn't she? She actually wants to marry our eldest brother? What is she daydreaming about?"
On the other side of the dragon chariot, Chu Xinyue couldn't help but complain to Xue Youli, who was standing next to her. "I heard that when our eldest brother was conquering Nanzhao, he defeated the larger force with a smaller one many times. The Nanzhao army both respected and feared him. Every time when our eldest brother was around, they were defeated! Our eldest brother is the God of War, the light of the Nine Continents. How can Lan Luo be worthy of him?"
"That's right, how could she possibly dream of my brother?"
Xue Youli nodded, also scoffing at Lan Luo's request, "Where does she think she is? Now that she has come to Jiuzhou, it is not her turn to decide who she marries."
"I believe your man shouldn't spoil her!" Chu Xinyue said, then raised her eyes and looked at the man standing in front of the dragon chariot.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Murong Che looked at Lan Luo with disdain and slowly raised his thin lips. "Seventh Princess, in our Jiuzhou, marriage requires not only the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, but also the consent of both parties. Therefore, before I answer you, I must first ask General Xue's opinion."
When he said this, he cast a questioning look at Xue Wuji, "General Xue, I want to ask you, are you willing to marry the Princess of Nanzhao?"
Xue Wuji stepped out of the group, knelt on one knee before Murong Che, and refused forcefully, "Your Majesty, I do not wish to accept your invitation! The Princess of Nanzhao is a daughter of a royal family, of unparalleled nobility. I, a mere wretch, cannot possibly reach her height!"
Lan Luo also expected that Xue Wuji would not easily agree to his request, so he simply walked over to him and knelt down. "Your Majesty, Luo'er doesn't mind that General Xue is a rough man. Luo'er admires General Xue from the bottom of his heart. I hope Your Majesty can fulfill Luo'er's infatuation!"
Seeing that Lan Luo was determined to marry him, Xue Wuji tightened and loosened his hands at his side.
Finally, he took a deep breath before making up his mind. He said in a tone of fearlessness, "Your Majesty, I cannot deceive Princess Nanzhao, and I don't want to disappoint her feelings! In fact, I already have someone I like!"
Lan Luo narrowed her eyes and said, "General Xue, Luo'er admires you and respects you. Even if you want to marry your beloved one in the future, Luo'er will do her duty as a good wife, just like the women of Jiuzhou. I will allow you to marry your beloved one into the Xue Mansion so that you can enjoy the happiness of having two wives."
She thought she was being magnanimous, but Xue Wuji wasn't buying it. "Your Majesty, I only wish to be with the one I love forever, and I will never take a concubine. As for the Nanzhao Princess's claim of being infatuated, I cannot accept it. Over the years, I have shed the blood of too many Nanzhao soldiers on my hands in defense of the land of Jiuzhou. If I were to marry another Nanzhao princess, I'm worried that not only would we end up sleeping in different beds, but we might even end up estranged."
As he spoke, his eyes swept over the ministers gathered in a circle to watch the excitement, "Princess Nanzhao, there are many good men in Jiuzhou. Please choose a good match!"
Yu Minyan was very happy when she saw Xue Wuzhi reject Lan Luo without hesitation.
However, when Xue Wuzhi mentioned that he already had a girl he liked, Yu Minyan's eyes dimmed again.
Senior brother has a girl he likes and will not marry the princess of Nanzhao. She should be happy.
But why couldn't she be happy at all?
Lan Luo didn't expect that Xue Wuji would completely disregard her dignity and reject her so thoroughly in front of so many people.
She clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves, her nails digging deep into her palms. "Your Majesty, there's a saying in Jiuzhou that 'love can be cultivated.' Luo'er will marry no one but General Xue! Luo'er also believes that one day she will be able to soften General Xue's hardened heart!"
Chu Xinyue was furious when she saw Lan Luo actually trying to force a marriage. "Ali, how about I teach this green tea bitch a lesson? My brother has made it so clear, how dare she still shamelessly want to marry my brother? Is she worthy?"
Xue Youli patted the back of her hand soothingly, and had great confidence in Murong Che. "Don't worry, the emperor won't let her get her wish."
Lan Luo didn't realize she was the princess of a defeated nation, and she actually tried to control Murong Che. She was asking for trouble!
As expected, the next moment, Murong Che raised his thin lips and spoke softly, "Seventh Princess has lived in Nanzhao since childhood, and has only a vague understanding of Jiuzhou culture. In fact, we in Jiuzhou have a saying, 'Never put your warm face on someone else's cold butt.' Even if I force General Xue to marry you today, you will not be happy. Seventh Princess, why not look at others? As General Xue said, our Jiuzhou Kingdom is full of good men!"
As soon as the man finished his last sentence, Chu Xinyue raised her voice and shouted to the crowd of onlookers behind Xue Wuji, "The emperor said that our Jiuzhou is full of good men. Good men, where are you?"
"here!"
"here!"
"And here!"
Immediately, all the unmarried young men present gave the loudest response.
Murong Che raised his lips and said gently, "Seventh Princess, our Jiuzhou is vast and rich in resources, and what we lack most is young talents. If you want to get married, you can take your time to choose. After all, marriage is a big deal, and it only happens once in a lifetime. Don't choose the wrong person and regret it for the rest of your life."
