C18 Matrimonial Marriage
It was still hot in October, but not as hot as it had been in August or September. Feng Gu was resting against a pillar in the royal palace of the Mystical Kingdom. The hot weather irritated him, making him frown slightly, as if countless thoughts were haunting him in his dreams.
Manhan passed through the long corridor, but just as he reached the main square, he was stopped by two eunuchs. "Lord Man, His Majesty is resting. Lord should stand outside the door for a while."
Looking at Feng Gu who was sleeping, he asked, "Has Your Majesty not had a good rest recently? How did he fall asleep just like that? "
The eunuch outside the door sighed, "No! Xiao Yue Kingdom has sent a princess to reconcile with our family, so His Majesty has been busy with this matter for quite some time.
"Princess of Xiao Yue?" "It's that princess?" Man Han was shocked.
"Then this servant is not worth it. As for the matter of His Majesty, as long as this servant knows about it, it would not be good." Another eunuch answered from the side.
"This is a serious matter, we can't wait any longer. May I trouble Your Highness to call you?" Man Han said.
When the gatekeeping eunuch saw this, he didn't say anything and quietly walked in to wake Feng Gu up.
Feng Gu raised his eyes to look at Man Han outside the door. He rubbed his temple, signaling Man Han to come over. He waved away the eunuch at the side, and looked at Man Han with a slight smile.
"You've waited so long!" Feng Gu smiled helplessly.
"I heard that Xiao Yue Guo wants to be married off? Marry you or give it to another prince? " Manhan asked.
"It's for me." Feng Gu stood up and stretched. "It was the good-natured princess of Xiao Yue Country, the third daughter of the Emperor of Xiao Yue, born of the deceased Imperial Concubine Jin."
"The third princess of Xiao Yue? And it's an imperial concubine? " Man Han said in disbelief.
"That's right!" Feng Gu walked to Man Han's side and sat down. "Sit!"
"Rumor has it that the Imperial Concubine of Xiao Yue is a devastatingly beautiful woman, especially her Water-Sleeve Dance. She has been doting on me for many years, but unfortunately, she died too early!" Man Han's tone was tinged with regret. "Being so favoured by the mother of the princess, even if she were to die, the good-natured princess wouldn't have fallen to the marriage alliance!"
"She was the one who volunteered to come. The country leader didn't agree at first, but he couldn't force her." Feng Gu said with a little deeper meaning.
"Come voluntarily?" Manhan frowned. "There is a princess who would willingly come to the marriage alliance! I'm afraid this is not a simple person! "
"Since she is willing, it is our fault if we don't accept her. No matter what her goal is, as long as she dares to come, we dare to accept her." Feng Gu's eyes flashed with a trace of viciousness.
Man Han nodded thoughtfully.
"Oh right, you said that the person who gave you the map was called Guang Guang, but I've already sent many people to investigate. There's no such person as Guang Guang." Feng Gu frowned as he looked at Man Han, "I'm afraid the person who saved Zi Chen is also this person called Guang Guang.
"I think so too." Man Han nodded in agreement to Feng Gu's words, "This person is a strong martial artist, so he entered the Black Cloud Stronghold alone. Not only did he save people, he even killed so many people. He came out of the stronghold in broad daylight. No one dares to stop him."
"If this person can be used for his own use, he would definitely be a good chess piece." A crafty look flashed in Feng Gu's eyes, "However, if we can't use it for ourselves, it will become a huge threat. The earlier we remove it, the better."
"He saved Zi Chen, so logically, he shouldn't be our enemy." Man Han shook his head in disapproval.
"Man Han!" Feng Gu shook his head as if he couldn't control his laughter, "You have been in the government for so many years, but you still don't understand. There are no eternal enemies, nor are there eternal friends. All relationships are built on benefits."
Seeing Feng Gu say this, Man Han's heart became slightly bitter: "Then what about our relationship? Is our relationship also based on benefits? "
Feng Gu looked at Man Han in shock, and reacted instantly. "You're different! You are the most important person to me! "It's impossible to compare with those arrogant villains."
Looking at Feng Gu's nervousness, Manhan laughed bitterly, "Your Majesty, so many years have passed, but you still can't let go? Not giving anyone a chance? "
A trace of coldness flashed through Feng Gu's eyes. "There's only one chance. Losing it means forever. A thousand gold won't buy the medicine for regret. The decision they made that day can't be blamed on me!"
Man Han looked at Feng Gu, speechless for a long time.
"What are the arrangements for the Holy Tongue position?" Feng Gu changed the topic and broke the silent atmosphere.
"Assistant Minister of Revenue." Manhan also withdrew his thoughts from the previous conversation. "From her answers, this position is very suitable for her."
"Up to you." Feng Gu said with a smile, "As long as you can arrange it."
Man Han nodded worriedly. When he saw the sadness in his eyes, he felt helpless.
The ruler of a country? It really wasn't suitable for Feng Gu! The happy and carefree youth from before had become helpless after his mother's death. He had suffered all sorts of bullying and even ordinary palace maids and eunuchs bullying him. If it weren't for the fact that he had been saved in the pool, the current emperor would most likely have changed hands!
After saving him, she would continue to look after him and help him to get out of here. She wanted to turn him into a formidable figure in this world. Was she right?
He was a general of a country, and was also the person that Feng Gu trusted the most. No one in the imperial court dared to offend him. For his country, he was loyal and devoted to Emperor Xuan Shuang; for his people, he helped them to the point of not being full or wearing warm clothes; for his feelings, he was the main force of Feng Gu's spirit.
Manhan thought deeply as he returned to the general's manor. Just as he was about to go to his room to rest, the steward suddenly called out to him.
"My lord, the Ninth Prince has sent someone and has been waiting in the living room for several hours!" the butler said.
Man Han raised his eyebrows. "What is it? "Is it that urgent?"
"He's here to propose marriage." The butler said with a face full of joy.
"Propose marriage?" Man Han knitted his brows in suspicion. Why did everyone like getting married recently?!
"That's right!" I'm here to propose to Miss. " the butler said.
Man Han thought for a moment, then smirked. "To the living room."
A cool breeze blew across, blowing him into a drowsy state. He lay on the table, narrowed his eyes and looked at the Prince who was in a miserable state. The corner of his mouth hooked into a playful smile.
"I said that other people would be happy to marry their wives, but why do you look like you just have a bitter face!" Ye Zichen spoke with a playful tone.
Seeing her playful expression, Zi Chen coldly snorted, "If you were to marry her, you would definitely laugh very happily! "Alright, I'll have the Emperor bestow you with two palace maids as concubines. Let's see if you can smile or not!"
"Hehe, brother Zi Chen, you know it as well. Why are you making things difficult for me?" She smiled and begged for mercy.
"Humph, then why don't you take pleasure in my misfortune!" Zi Chen rolled his eyes.
She looked at Zi Chen who had a worried expression and suggested, "Why don't you just tell your father that you can't be humane? "Why — let go, cough cough!"
Zi Chen heard her words and grabbed her neck, shaking her, "Sacred language? If you have the guts, say it again!"
"S-young master Xuan, have mercy, we're going to die!" The way she spoke made Zi Chen even angrier.
He loosened his grip and threatened, "If I really marry Man Han's sister, I'll tell the world that you and I have a broken arm. I want to see if Man Han will cut you into three pieces!"
Seeing Zi Chen threaten her, she couldn't help giving him a thumbs up, "You're ruthless!"
