Killer Pretty Queen

Chapter 117 The Fate of Parents

I just drank the tea in my mouth and almost spit it out.

Xiao Li knew that there was nothing wrong with Huangfu Haotian being a man of action, but what he didn't expect was that he acted so fast.

Just like the shock that suddenly appeared on the faces of the general and his wife at this time, they must have never expected all this in their hearts anyway.

Fortunately, the general is a general after all, he is a man who has been in the battlefield and officialdom for decades.So even if he was shocked at this moment, he would not lose face in front of Huangfu Haotian.

At this time, I saw that he had already got up from his seat, and helped Huangfu Haotian to his feet: "My lord, please get up! How is this, my lord, and how can this old minister receive such a great gift from my lord."

Huangfu Haotian suddenly laughed when he heard the words: "The general's words are wrong. Didn't Haotian already say it? Haotian's gift is a gift from juniors. What's more, Haotian has something to think about during this trip." It requires the consent of the general. It is what Haotian mentioned just now, about Haotian's desire to propose marriage to Ali."

"This..." For a while, the general couldn't help hesitating: "This matter is too sudden for the old minister. So the old minister..." When he said this, he suddenly raised his head Looking at Mrs. Xiao, he said, "But I don't know how you, Madam, think about this matter?"

In fact, there is no need to ask, this matter is also very sudden to Madam.However, the person standing in front of them at this time was King Mingcheng after all, so even though the madam was as flustered as she was, she seemed calm and composed on the surface: "The general is right, and to tell you the truth, this matter is very important to us. Said, it was indeed too sudden. However, since the lord came prepared today, the slave family would like to hear the reason from the lord."

"Mother..." Seeing that her mother became a little serious for a moment, Xiao Li couldn't help but sweat for Huangfu Haotian, wondering how he would explain all this to his parents.

But at this time, Huangfu Haotian smiled at Xiao Li, signaling her not to talk too much.Then he smiled and told Mrs. Xiao the reason of the matter.

Of course, Huangfu Haotian would not be so stupid as to tell the truth about everything, especially the part where he and Xiao Li met in Liufang Pavilion, he took the initiative to conceal everything.He didn't even mention the scene where he rescued Xiao Li on Phoenix Mountain.

Regarding the reason why the two met, he still started talking about the night of Mid-Autumn Festival.Huangfu Haotian talked about how Xiaoli helped him to do his best to help His Highness the Crown Prince's illness.Since that time, Huangfu Haotian has fallen in love with her beauty and kindness in his heart.

Afterwards, after the two of them got together in the palace for a few days, they became even more fond of each other.It wasn't until Xiao Li led the army northward that Huangfu Haotian realized in his heart that he was actually very worried about Xiao Li.And that worry was also the main reason why he insisted on leading troops to the border to reinforce Xiao Li.During this period of time in the army, Huangfu Haotian finally discovered that in his heart, he had really fallen in love with Xiaoli.

"Li'er, what the lord said is the truth?" Madam Xiao didn't say anything to Huangfu Haotian after hearing the words, but directly turned the topic to Xiao Li: "Li'er, you also have this kind of feeling in your heart." Thoughts?"

Xiao Li blushed when asked by her mother.But at this time, what else can she say?So, she just nodded directly at her mother.

It was Qin Jian standing behind her, seeing that she hadn't spoken to her, suddenly said: "Ma'am, what the lord said is true. Especially when in the army, slaves can see everything clearly." It's clear. No matter what decision the prince and the young lady make, they really have a tacit understanding. In fact, not only the slaves, but even many soldiers in the army feel that the young lady and the prince are really suitable. Everyone looks forward to the young lady I can become Princess Mingcheng sooner rather than later."

Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but nodded when she heard the words: "From what you said, it seems that all of this is true."

After hearing this, Qin Jian nodded quickly: "What the lady said is true, and what the servant girl said is of course true."

"It's just..." Mrs. Xiao suddenly pondered again, and then she suddenly said to Huangfu Haotian: "There is one thing, but I don't know if King Mingcheng has heard of it—since the general returned to Beijing, You, the prince, are not the only ones who came to propose marriage."

"Huangfu Haotian nodded when he heard the words: "Of course Haotian believes Madam's words.With a woman like A Li who is unparalleled in talent and appearance, there must be no one in Beijing who admires her more than this king. "

After hearing this, Xiao Lifu nodded and smiled at him: "What the lord said is correct. But I don't know if the lord has heard of it. Among the group of people who came to ask for marriage, there is one person that I have to mention."

Huangfu Haotian smiled and said: "In that case, Ma'am, please tell me!" In fact, Huangfu Haotian already knew it in his heart, what Mrs. Xiao was referring to was nothing more than Prince Wu Huangfu Haobo.However, he still wanted to hear his wife raise this question in person, because, only in this way, it would be able to show after a while that he and Xiao Li were originally in love with each other.

Sure enough, Mrs. Xiao said: "What I want to tell the lord is that among the people who have come to propose marriage these days, one is the elder brother of the lord, who is the current lord Wu."

As soon as Xiao Li heard this, she really became anxious: "Mother, haven't I already said that I don't want to marry Prince Wu!" Thinking about what that person did to her, Xiao Li's heart was already irritated.

Huangfu Haotian looked at Xiao Li's appearance at this time, but he had a calm smile on his face.After a while, he only heard him say: "I think Madam has already understood it? There are only two men in this world who are truly in love with each other. Mother, what I want to see the most is such an ending, right?"

Mrs. Xiao was speechless for a moment.

But the general said at this time: "The prince's words are not bad, but the prince must also know in his heart that the old minister only has a daughter like A Li by his side. The old minister does not want her to be rich and powerful in this life. I hope that she can find someone who truly loves her and live an ordinary life. And the prince..."

The general hesitated for a long time, and finally said again: "Oh, let me tell you the truth. Presumably the prince also knows that although the old minister is a person who leads troops and fights, the last thing I want to be involved in this life is this court. What's more, for A Li, the old minister doesn't want some people to involve her in the struggle between the court and the party one day."

Huangfu Haotian couldn't help but slightly frowned after hearing the general's words.Because he knew in his heart that only these words were probably the words from the heart of the general.

General, as the Anjiang King of the Ling Kingdom, although on the surface, he has always maintained a neutral attitude and never got too close to anyone.But in fact, his heart was always on the side of the prince.

However, it was precisely because of this that the general knew in his heart that the stakes of this struggle between the ruling party and the party were at stake.

So he didn't want the people around him, especially Xiao Li, to be involved in this dispute one day.Because if that is the case, then one day, the military power of millions in the hands of the general will inevitably be involved.And these are probably the facts that the general wants to see the most.

However, Huangfu Haotian at this time could not categorically deny what the general said.

Although it is true that he loves Xiao Li very much, but in his heart he cannot rule out that he is still suspected of using her to achieve a certain purpose.

However, even so, so what?

In Huangfu Haotian's heart, these two things are not contradictory.Because his love for Xiao Li comes from the heart.In his heart, apart from Xiao Li, he could no longer accommodate any other women.

As for the military power in the hands of the general, Huangfu Haotian believed in himself, one day he would definitely make the general look at him with admiration.

Thinking of this, Huangfu Haotian couldn't help smiling at the general, and said: "Haotian naturally knows the meaning of the general's words. However, even because of these, he must not be able to become a general to hinder the relationship between the king and Ah. Is there a reason why Ri falls in love?"

The general couldn't help but smile wryly when he heard the words, because in his heart, how could he not understand his daughter's temperament?

Just like Shuyi and herself back then, their daughter also has a strong and unyielding heart.

Otherwise, she would not have won the emperor's approval in the end despite everyone's opposition, and as a daughter, she would have led the army to confront the mirror army in Shatang.

What's more, the relationship this time is for her own lifelong happiness.But the Mingcheng Wang Huangfu Haotian in front of her is the person she has already chosen as her favorite.

If it is said that the general and his wife had experienced the pain of not being blessed by others, at this moment, how could he be willing to let his beloved daughter go through such cruelty again?

Of course he would not agree.

Raising his head, the general exchanged glances with his wife again.However, he saw the same kind of helpless wry smile in Madam's eyes as he did.

Forget it, if that's the case, then he, Xiao Chaogui, will go all out for this adventure, as long as it's for Ah Li's lifelong happiness, no matter how big the storm is for him, he's determined to fight it out!

Looking at Madam and smiling, the General finally spoke to Huangfu Haotian and said: "Since all of this was chosen by A Li, then there is nothing wrong with the old minister and Madam."

When Xiao Li heard the general's words, she couldn't help showing a smile on her face: "So, Dad, did you agree?"

The general turned his head away, and when he saw Xiao Li's happy smile, he couldn't help but secretly sighed, but since the matter was over, he didn't want to say anything more.

So he smiled kindly at Xiao Li: "This matter is the happiness of A Li's life. Although being your father and wife are your parents, they can't completely make decisions for you. What's more, since this matter is A Li's If you decide it yourself, then as a father and your mother, there is nothing to say. But, Li'er, there is one thing that Daddy hopes you can agree to - when the day comes, you and King Mingcheng After getting married, you must happily join hands with the prince for a hundred years."

Xiao Li only knows that in many stories, parents like to arrange the marriages of their children.But he didn't expect that the general and his wife turned out to be such a reasonable pair of fathers.For a moment, I couldn't help being filled with gratitude: "Thank you, father, and mother! My daughter will definitely live up to her parents' expectations and live a good life with the prince."

Seeing this scene, Huangfu Haotian showed a sincere smile on his face, and said: "Please, the general and madam, can safely hand A Li into Haotian's hands. Haotian is here. I have to promise to the two elders of Mount Tai that in this life, I will definitely hold A Li in the palm of my hand like the two elders, and love her as a treasure."

"The old minister believes in the prince, and he will definitely be able to do what he says." The general smiled and nodded at Huangfu Haotian, and said: "However, as far as the old minister knows, the marriage of King Mingcheng was not caused by the prince alone. It can be decided. Therefore, this matter, the old minister still hopes that King Mingcheng can report to the emperor earlier, and don't wait until the coming day to make troubles."

Of course Huangfu Haotian knew what the General meant by his words, but he was confident that he would not fall behind Lord Wu.

Of course, since he has already spoken today, he might as well explain everything to the general and his wife: "If you want to come to the general, you know that in a few days, it will be the 60th birthday of the father. So this king decided , When the day of father's life and humiliation comes, this king will personally report to the emperor, and ask the emperor to marry A Li and me."

The general couldn't help but nodded when he heard the words: "In this case, I will wait for the good news from His Highness."
