Chapter 18
As if a stone was suddenly thrown into the calm water, the emperor's words caused the Golden Luan Palace to explode, and everyone was discussing it, some were watching the show, and some were sympathetic.

Of course, even if the emperor speaks well, there is always one person who dares to say no to the emperor.Just as King Xian withdrew back to the team with a gloomy expression, a tall and straight figure stood out.

This person had a well-defined face, with two sword eyebrows raised, showing an incomparably domineering aura.Those sharp eyes seem to be able to penetrate into people's hearts and pry out the secrets hidden in the deepest, deep and frightening.The tightly pursed thin lips combined with the expressionless face just right, it looked like a bloody slaughter, and countless people must have died at his hands.

Even so, that unusually handsome face still makes people ignore the murderous look on him, so there are countless girls who are willing to pounce on him.

I saw the man cupped his hands towards the emperor, and said in a loud voice: "Back to the emperor, I am already twenty-four this year, and I have not married a wife yet. The grandfather at home is pressing me hard. I think this Miss Shangguan is very good. If the emperor allows, I want to hire Miss Shangguan as my wife, and I hope the emperor will do it."

If someone else came out to say these words, the emperor would definitely scold that person bloody.But this person is different, he is a general who has just returned from the border, and was named Qi Muyuan, the Great General of the Great Xia just a few days ago!

The meritorious official had just returned to the capital, and the joy his achievements had brought to the capital had not yet dissipated. The emperor really couldn't lose Qi Muyuan's face easily, otherwise the people in the court would be disappointed.

Speaking of which, Qi Muyuan is also considered a legend. He went to the battlefield with his brother at the age of 15, and his brother died in a border battle at the age of 16. This Qi Muyuan seemed to be a different person, cold-blooded and ruthless.

For the next eight years, Qi Muyuan became a lone hero who was feared on the border of the Great Xia. Everywhere he passed, he would not stop until he defeated the enemy. The crazy victories made his reputation and his official position rose step by step. .

Half a month ago, the border fighting ceased, and Qi Muyuan returned with the sound of victory horns.The emperor Yuet named him the Great General of Zhenguo, and even rewarded him with countless treasures, including a gold medal for avoiding death. No such young junior in the history of Great Xia has ever received such an honor!

And he is also the youngest Zhen Guo general in the history of Great Xia!
According to the rumors, Qi Muyuan had no desires or desires, even in such a harsh environment on the border, he never thought about finding someone to sleep with.I heard that a small official over there offered countless beauties to curry favor with him, but they were all rejected by him, and those who refused to listen to his persuasion were brutally killed by him.

Since then, no one dared to put a woman beside him.

But now, Qi Muyuan stood up on his own and proposed to a woman who had just become notorious but whom he had never met before, or asked the emperor for a marriage!
Such explosive news directly made everyone forget the impact of Shangguan Zhenyu's incident on them. All eyes were on Qi Muyuan, and even the emperor was puzzled.

King Xian looked at the man who came out halfway and cut off his beard, and he couldn't tell how angry he was.Originally, he planned to use this opportunity to get close to Shangguan Zhenyu, even if the emperor didn't allow it, this person who had just returned to the court and had no foundation dared to stand up and ask for marriage, and judging by the emperor's appearance, he hadn't immediately rejected Qi Muyuan the meaning of.

In this way, although the virtuous king didn't show it on the face, he was extremely displeased in his heart.

Shangguan Zhenyu frowned, he really didn't know what this young general of Zhenguo meant.

However, Qi Muyuan, as the general of the town, has a very high reputation in the army, and he has already made great achievements.Before he came back, the emperor had specially discussed with him how to reward Qi Muyuan.

After some discussion, it was Shangguan Zhenyu who proposed to make Qi Muyuan the general of the town, but now Qi Muyuan made such a request. If the emperor didn't think too much, Shangguan Zhenyu would not believe it. of.

He has already been suppressed by the emperor, if the emperor can't figure it out and really thinks that Qi Muyuan has something to do with his Shangguan family, then it's not just as simple as going home and resting for a month.

In this way, for the sake of going to the government, Shangguan Zhenyu looked serious, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, General Qi is a talent handed down from generation to generation. The little girl is delicate and weak, and her mind is simple. In addition, what happened like that, I am afraid that she is not worthy of Qi." General!"

Shangguan Zhenyu's refusal was both expected and unexpected by everyone.Everyone expected that he would refuse, but they did not expect that he would refuse so quickly and with such a firm attitude.

In fact, if Shangguan Zhenyu agreed to this marriage and the emperor did not object, then it would be very possible for him to make fun of his confinement and shorten the time.After all, Qi Muyuan just came back, no matter how bad the emperor is, he still wants to give him face, he can't let the general's father-in-law stay at home, right?
However, there are advantages and disadvantages, and everyone understands in their hearts.

Regarding Shangguan Zhenyu's refusal, Qi Muyuan didn't show any displeasure, which was also inconsistent with the rumored tyrannical general.

The development of things is often beyond people's imagination. Liu Zhiyi originally wanted to take this matter as a stumbling block for Shangguan Zhenyu, but in the end the stumbling block was done, and he never thought about jumping out of Qi Muyuan's case again. Cheng Yaojin.If the emperor agreed to Qi Muyuan's request because of his achievements, then the punishment given to Shangguan Zhenyu just now might be controversial again.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhiyi's mind became active again, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, what happened to Shangguan Lianniang yesterday, she is already notorious! And the Great General Zhen Guo is a young talent with great military exploits." , Shangguan Lianniang is really not worthy of a great general!"

The dignified daughter of the Zuoxiang Prime Minister of Xia was slandered and insulted again and again. These words did not take Shangguan Zhenyu seriously, but at the same time, they praised Qi Muyuan to the sky and praised her meritorious deeds. The word Zhenzhu was completely displayed in front of the emperor.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the entire Jinluan Hall changed.The emperor took a deep look at Liu Zhiyi, then looked at Qi Muyuan, wondering what he was thinking.

Shangguan Zhenyu was annoyed in his heart, this Liu Zhiyi must have gone too far, his previous words could no longer be heard, and now he still spared no effort to slander Shangguan Lianniang.

It's just that, after all, he has lived most of his life. After the gaffe just now, he doesn't show the same anger just now.However, he was not angry in his heart, and wanted to say a few more words for Shangguan Lianniang, but before he could say anything, the king of Chu who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke.

"Father, Miss Shangguan is a wonderful person. She has aroused my curiosity. Since we can't stand it now, why not...give Miss Shangguan to Erchen, and I will definitely treat her well!"
