Please, grant, marriage! ?

When the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion and Zhuang San heard these four words, they were suddenly struck by lightning.

The old lady of the Marquis Mansion: "How is this possible!?"

"The emperor is still ill and has not attended to court affairs for several days."

"We came here today to propose marriage, and we have been extremely low-key and have not dared to make it public. How could His Royal Highness Prince Su ignore His Majesty's health and come to the palace to ask for permission to marry?"

"Besides, why would Prince Su marry a woman like Li Qingluo, who has no family background, as his concubine?"

"No, she should just be a concubine. Even if she is a concubine, she is given enough respect."

"You know, Prince Su has never been interested in women and is very chaste. How could he possibly fall for a village girl like Li Qingluo?"

"Li Qingluo, what on earth are you..."

Madam Pei: "Enough! Qian Jinan!"

"You also know that His Majesty is not in good health!?"

"Then why did you come to my General Xiuli's mansion to propose marriage? What good intentions do you have?"

"Do you think that I, Pei Xiuzhen, know nothing about the court now, so you want to take advantage of the opportunity to control us, grandparents and grandchildren?"

"If you don't agree, no one will know about it anyway, and your mansion won't lose face. You can just pretend that this never happened."

"If you agree, your mansion can use this as an excuse to ask us not to announce the good news publicly. This way, you won't be embarrassed when you tell us about the marriage with our Xiuli General's mansion."

"You have a good plan in mind!"

"Qian Jinan, you are such a good person! I wanted to give you some face, but you schemed against me like this."

"You still look down on my Luo'er from the bottom of your heart."

"I, Luo'er, am the most beautiful woman in Jinling City. Whether I become a concubine or a wife to a certain family has nothing to do with your Zhongyi Marquis Mansion!"

"Now, you, Qian Jinan, and your good grandson, get out of here immediately!"

Zhuang Wei: "Old Madam, there must be a misunderstanding. This is not what Grandmother and I meant!"

"Actually, I've been attracted to Miss Li for a long time, so I'm pestering Grandmother to help me propose to her."

"I was in a hurry, so I didn't think it through."

"We all sincerely wish to marry Miss Li as my legitimate wife. We have no intention of degrading or looking down on her."

"Miss Li, you wouldn't be like Liu Qingzhu and willingly become a concubine, right?"

"I, Zhuang Wei, promise you the position of wife of the third son of the eldest son of the Zhongyi Marquis's mansion. Are you willing..."

Li Qingluo: "I don't want to."

She interrupted Zhuang Wei coldly.

Ignoring Zhuang Wei's instantly pale face, he said word by word, "Why do you think that just because you're willing, I have to be willing?"

"Mr. Zhuang San, if you still want to maintain some dignity, please leave immediately."

The old lady of the Marquis Mansion was heartbroken and said, "Sanlang, you are so confused!"

"Don't you understand yet?"

"She, Li Qingluo, looks down on us!"

"She has already climbed onto the high branch of Prince Su!"

"What's the difference between her and Liu Qingzhu?"

"I would rather be a concubine in the prince's palace than look down on the legitimate wife of our marquis's palace."

"They're so arrogant, they all want to be the high and mighty 'nobles' and look down on our family... Sanlang, it's time for you to give up!"

Zhuang Wei: "No, that's not the case. Miss Li is definitely not that kind of person."

"Miss Li, is it that His Royal Highness Prince Su is just being wishful thinking and coercing you..."

Li Qingluo hasn't spoken yet.

Madam Pei pointed at Zhuang Wei and said, "Why don't you take him away?"

"You're talking nonsense! You're trying to ruin my Luo'er's reputation by failing to get her hand in marriage!"

"Someone, get these two people, grandfather and grandson, out of here!"

"From now on, I don't want to see anyone from the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion appear again!"

A group of maids were no longer polite and rushed forward with their sleeves rolled up, grabbing Zhuang Wei and the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion rudely.

The old lady of the Marquis' Mansion said: "Pei Xiuzhen, you old thing are shameless."

"How dare you say that your granddaughter is innocent and hasn't had an affair with Prince Su for a long time—"

There was a crisp sound of ‘pop’.

Before Li Qingluo rushed out, the dust from Eunuch Wu had already hit the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion in the face.

He was furious: "Even if our family has offended your Zhongyi Marquis Mansion today, we will still slap you in the face!"

"You old fool, you're quite cruel when it comes to throwing dirty water."

"Is your mouth already full of shit? That's why it sprays so hard and stinks so bad?"

"How dare you bite our Prince Su? I think you are tired of living!"

"Do you really think you're just an old lady in a marquis's mansion and that you're insignificant?"

"I tell you, we in the Su Palace are not afraid of you!"

"Why don't you ask, which old fellow has your Highness been polite to?"

"Anyone who dares to offend our Highness will not survive even a single day!"

"Do you want to try it too?"

Seeing his grandmother being humiliated, Zhuang Wei struggled hard: "You eunuch! How dare you humiliate my grandmother? I want you dead—"

Eunuch Wu: "Come on. We are waiting for you!"

"If you have the guts, go to the Dali Temple and sue our family. We are not afraid of you."

"But please don't forget to tell the officials of the Dali Temple that you were the first to offend His Highness."

"You have offended and slandered the prince. I will punish you with a heinous crime. Exile is the least of my punishment!"

Zhuang Wei: "Prince Su is truly majestic."

"What did I say wrong to offend him?"

Eunuch Wu: "Did I say it was you? Stop trying to mess around here."

"This old woman has a dirty mouth. If I have to deal with her, I'll deal with her!"

"My prince only wants to marry a girl like Miss Li who is both talented and beautiful, and has outstanding character. But in her mouth, it seems like they have already had an affair."

"Could it not be that my prince is simply infatuated with true love?"

"Your family can ask for it? But our Su Wang Mansion can't ask for it?"

"As the saying goes, if one family has a daughter, a hundred families will seek her out. Is it that your Zhongyi Marquis's Mansion clearly despises Miss Li's family background, yet you still want to marry her? Do you think you can control her by degrading her?"

"When you can't get what you want, you become angry and humiliated, and start slandering us, even daring to criticize our Highness."

"Madam Qian, our Highness is not someone that anyone can degrade."

After Eunuch Wu finished speaking, he waved away the dust and looked at Madam Pei with a smile.

“Old Madam, I’ve been so presumptuous in your house today. It’s my fault.”

Madam Pei laughed dryly. "You're too polite, sir. You're the one who stood up for Luo'er and me and vented our anger. We won't be ungrateful."

After saying this, Madam Pei waved her hand and had people quickly drive out the pale-faced Madam of the Marquis of Zhongyi's Mansion, Zhuang Wei, and the servants of the Zhuang family.

Just before they were thrown out completely, Eunuch Wu remembered something.

He quickly reached out to stop her, "Wait!"

Eunuch Wu deliberately raised his voice: "Our prince has taken a fancy to the girl and asked to marry her, and naturally he also wants to make her his principal wife!"

"Remember, Miss Li is a noble lady that is unattainable in your Zhongyi Marquis Mansion."

"roll!"

Li Qingluo secretly winked at Eunuch Wu.

Eunuch Wu was laughing in his heart.

Now, his position in the girl's heart should be stable, right?

Tsk, it’s a good thing Zhui Yu didn’t come today, otherwise this guy would definitely steal his limelight.

Hehe...

The person is gone.

Mrs. Pei looked at the boxes piled up all over the yard with a worried look on her face.

When the people from Prince Su's Mansion opened the boxes one by one, she saw that in addition to the gold and silver treasures, there were also picture books, various Western toys, night pearls bigger than fists, and corals that could not be stuffed into the boxes...

There are actually several rare weapons.

Li Qingluo's eyes instantly lit up like stars in the sky.

Almost drooling.

She quickly wiped her mouth and thought to herself: Duan Rongshi really understands what she likes most. These things are all her favorites!

However, she still pretended to be calm and just supported Mrs. Pei and looked at Eunuch Wu.

"This...this, how dare we accept such a generous gift from His Royal Highness Prince Su?"

"And what did the eunuch just say? His Highness went to the palace to ask for permission to marry. Is this true?"

"Your Highness really did inform us, Luo'er, when... Oh, I am truly flattered. But why didn't Your Highness inform us in advance..."

"This……"

Mrs. Pei was unhappy.

Each of these people wanted to take her Luo'er away.

But no one came to tell her their true feelings first.

Mrs. Pei felt very unhappy.

Of course she wanted to keep Luo'er by her side, but she also understood that if Prince Su really got the imperial decree granting the marriage, it would be a great honor for the whole family.

I can no longer make any decisions or hesitate.

However, the imperial edict is by no means easy to obtain.

After Luo'er followed him out of the Li family, although she avoided disaster, she also lost the respected family background of a noble lady.

Now, as an old general from thirty years ago, I can't bring her any help.

With such a family background, how could the current emperor agree to let her be his fifth daughter-in-law?

Eunuch Wu shouted out like this. If Luo'er failed to become the principal wife of Prince Su, and the Marquis Zhongyi's Mansion spread the news, wouldn't Luo'er become a laughing stock?

Prince Su is still a little too conceited in his actions.

He also didn't care about Luo'er's reputation.

Although I felt relieved today for the two of them, it was still ridiculous.

Li Qingluo sensed her grandmother's loss.

She felt ashamed.

Duan Rongshi had originally agreed to come last night.

But he must have been held up by something, so he was unable to express his feelings to his grandmother in advance.

Moreover, she did not expect that Prince Su's Mansion would do this today.

But now that things had come to this, Li Qingluo could only comfort her grandmother as best she could: "Grandma, it's okay. Even if the imperial edict doesn't come down, Luo'er is not afraid of being laughed at by the world."

"Your Highness, I will definitely do my best."

Madam Pei sighed and patted Li Qingluo's hand: "Grandmother knows what's going on."

Eunuch Wu then remembered something and hurriedly and respectfully took out a letter from his bosom.

"Madam, our Highness was originally going to come and visit you in person yesterday."

"But he received an order from His Majesty and left the city overnight."

"That's why I have no choice but to come here today to deliver this birthday gift for the young lady, as well as a letter to you, old lady."

"His Highness said that he would come back on the day of the girl's birthday and personally celebrate her seventeenth birthday."
