Princess Jin is as happy as the East China Sea

Chapter 78 Qi Yue Proposes
It has been several days since Chu Yichen and Qi Yue came back, and they both had a good rest. Today is also the day when they go to the palace to return to their duties. Murong Yinli, Chu Mu and all the civil and military officials went with them.

But Emperor Li did not reward them in front of civil and military officials, but left them to discuss the matter in the Shang study after he retired from the imperial court, with only Murong Yinli and Chu Mu together.

Murong Yueze was very reluctant. Immediately, he walked out of the hall and looked up at the sky. Did the emperor completely abandon him?Did even the Taifu, whom he trusted with all his heart, abandon him?He thought to himself, gritted his teeth tightly, clenched his hands hidden under his sleeves tightly, and could faintly hear the sound of bones rubbing against each other.

Murong Nanyuan followed behind Murong Yueze, smiled lightly, he knew that his father's favorite would always be Murong Yinli, and the others were just his foils, he was glad that he didn't have such big ambitions.

In Shangshu's room:

"Yichen, have you thought about whether you want to be promoted this time or do you want money?" Emperor Li asked straightforwardly, with the amiability of elders towards juniors on his face.

Chu Yichen raised his robe and knelt down, looked at Emperor Li, and said every word seriously, "Back to the emperor, I don't want anything. If I really want to choose, I just want to stay in Li." Jing, be filial to your parents and stay with them all the time, I really can't bear to leave them anymore, please allow your majesty." He kowtowed heavily to Emperor Li.

Chu Mu was very pleased. His son obviously could have a better development, but he gave up his great future for the sake of the two of them. If it wasn't for his father-in-law and son-in-law, he might have been moved to tears .

Emperor Li raised his eyes to look at Chu Yichen, and said half-jokingly after a while: "In my opinion, there must be more than that!"

Chu Yichen looked back at Emperor Li with some embarrassment, covered his mouth and kowtowed, "Actually, I was afraid that King Jin would bully my sister, and no one would help her get justice, so I stayed to protect my sister."

Murong Yinli had a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat, he glanced at Chu Yichen, and turned his eyes away in frustration, alas, my brother-in-law doesn't want to see him as a brother-in-law!what should I do?

Chu Mu secretly praised Chu Yichen in his heart, this son is good, let him do it, but he still tried his best to maintain a serious face, he said that he was about to suffer from internal injuries.

Qi Yue felt that it was none of his business, so he hung it up high, turned his head to one side, and stopped looking at them, but his ears were still trying his best to eavesdrop, and his eyes secretly turned away when they were not paying attention. That's it.

But Emperor Li paused when he heard this sentence, and then looked at Murong Yinli with a look of hatred, which seemed to say: What did you do to make Xi'er feel wronged? To make your brother-in-law hate you so much, because of this, you don't even want your future, just to protect his sister from harm?

Murong Yinli helped Chu Yichen up, and said flatteringly, "Brother, don't worry, I don't dare to bully Xi'er." He was the first one not to spare him. Now his father, mother and concubine are all on Chu Lanxi's side, so he wouldn't dare to lend him a hundred courage!
Besides, he couldn't bear to bully her.

Chu Yichen glanced at Murong Yinli, and said with a hint of threat in his tone, "You'd better remember what you said, or you will be at your own risk." Even if he is a prince, as long as he dares to bully his sister, he will not let her go his.

After speaking, he looked at Emperor Li, and continued: "Actually, there is another reason."

Emperor Li asked: "Is there any other reason, you should tell me."

Chu Yichen nodded, a little embarrassed, with a little blush on his face, "Actually, my parents said that my sisters are already married, but I'm still a bachelor, and my father had me when I was my age." But I don't even have a partner for their grandson. So they asked me to quickly find a good girl to carry on the Chu family's lineage."

Emperor Li laughed loudly, and even Qi Yue who was beside him covered his mouth and laughed, but Murong Yinli and Chu Mu didn't laugh, but it's unknown if they had any internal injuries.

Chu Yichen didn't dare to say that Emperor Li was wrong, so he caught Qi Yue and joked: "You have the nerve to laugh at me, aren't you older than me and haven't married yet?"

Qi Yue stopped laughing, and looked at Chu Yichen sadly, and turned his head away from him arrogantly, leaving him with the back of his head.

Emperor Li pursed his lips and smiled, looked at Chu Mu again, and asked, "Chu Aiqing, are you really in a hurry to hug your grandson?"

Chu Mu cupped his hands, and said with a very serious expression: "Your Majesty, the youngest daughter of this minister is already married, but this eldest son doesn't even have a man he likes now. The minister and his wife are really anxious!"

Emperor Li laughed loudly, and then waved his hands, "Well, if that's the case, then I'll do as you please, stay in Lijing, even if you didn't tell me, I would have kept you here, and the imperial concubine is always in my house recently. I whispered in my ear that I want to keep Yichen. In this way, you will be in command of the secret guards and the imperial guards. From the official to the second rank, you will be rewarded with 1000 taels of gold. However, I still have one condition, you must agree to it .”

Chu Yichen said solemnly: "I'm determined to follow your majesty's lead in everything."

Emperor Li nodded in satisfaction, with a very serious expression, "Well, all of you standing here are my confidantes, I don't think I need to say more, you should all know who you should be loyal to?"

Except for Murong Yinli, the other three knelt down and said in unison: "I will swear to the emperor and King Jin to the death, and I will never go back on my word."

Emperor Li rejoiced, and said loudly: "Okay, I believe in you, all lovers, get up quickly." After speaking, he looked at Qi Yue, "Qi Aiqing, is there anything you want?"

Qi Yue knelt down and said very seriously: "Your Majesty, I have an unfeeling request. I wonder if the emperor can grant it?"

"Speak directly if you have anything to say, I will definitely promise you." Emperor Li promised generously.

Qi Yue thought of Su Yihuan, and the expression on his face softened a little, "Your Majesty, I have always loved a girl, but her family despises my worthless minister, so she married someone else, but now that man is dead, so I would like to ask the emperor for permission to marry her."

About Qi Yue and Su Yihuan, Murong Yinli heard from Chu Lanxi that Su Yihuan was Zhao Ruilin's official wife, and Zhao Ruilin had just died not long ago. It stands to reason that Su Yihuan, who is the official wife, will take care of Zhao Ruilin for three years. Allowed to remarry.

"I wonder if Commander Qi is talking about Su Yihuan, Admiral Zhao's daughter-in-law?" Murong Yinli asked in a deep voice.

Qi Yue replied in a low voice: "It's her."

Murong Yinli continued to ask: "Her husband died not long ago, and you are anxious to marry someone?"

Qi Yue's voice was getting lower and lower, but Emperor Li could still hear every word clearly, "Yes, I have been waiting for her for ten years, and I don't mind waiting for another three years."

He really didn't care how long he waited for her, what he cared about was that no matter how long he waited, there was no result.Waiting without results is the most painful.

Emperor Li looked at Qi Yue, his eyes were sharp, and Qi Yue couldn't help but shrink back, "In this case, you still want me to give you a marriage, you are not young, you should get up quickly, Zhen I will find a suitable, gentle and virtuous woman for you to betroth to you."

Qi Yue kowtowed three times heavily, "Your Majesty, I really don't mind. In this lifetime, I have only identified Su Yihuan, and please allow your majesty." After speaking, he was afraid that Emperor Li would reject him, so he kowtowed his head again.
