Hua Zhi was very optimistic about Wu Yong's feelings. After all, he had not seen Shaoyao, whose face had basically recovered. He said those words based on Shaoyao's ruined face. A man can completely ignore the appearance and fall in love with this person. Such love is much more sincere than ordinary love.
Even though Gu Yanxi was reluctant to let Shaoyao marry far away, he had to admit that no one would care about Shaoyao more than Wu Yong. He did not express any opinion, but just said: "Don't worry about any external factors, just worry about whether you are willing or not."
Peony rubbed Huahua without saying anything.
Wu Yong had a limited time to stay in the capital, and after not receiving any news for several days, he became a little anxious. It was not convenient for him to go to the Hua family again, so he went to the former Prince's Mansion, now the Regent's Mansion, to block Gu Yanxi. Although he had coveted his sister, they had some friendship after all. Wouldn't it be more reassuring to leave it to him
But Gu Yanxi refused to see him. How could someone he didn't want to see block him? Seeing that he was about to leave Beijing, Wu Yong was so anxious that he couldn't even sleep. He wandered around the yard in the middle of the night, thinking that if it really didn't work, he would go to the emperor tomorrow to ask for help. There would definitely be no major wars in the future. He would spend half of the year in Beijing and half in Yinshan Pass, so that Shaoyao could live in her parents' home for half a year. This would definitely impress her. This was the last bargaining chip he could come up with...
"Who!" Wu Yong looked towards the courtyard wall with vigilance. Someone had stood there at some point, and judging by his figure...
Wu Yong's heart moved, and he immediately took a few steps forward to take a closer look. He was disappointed to find that it was not the person he thought, and the peony was not that beautiful.
"Did the girl come to the wrong place?"
Thinking that it was not Shaoyao, Shaoyao jumped down and circled around Wu Yong several times without saying a word.
Wu Yong frowned and was about to go back to his room, but suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. Could it be... this was a honey trap set by the Regent? Was he trying to test him
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. Wu Yong was shocked and walked even faster. He entered the house and slammed the door.
"Please go back, young lady. Don't give people anything to talk about in the middle of the night."
Peony "… "
She was not in a hurry and just sat casually in the yard, thinking about her own things.
In fact, the decision had already been made, and she didn't have to wait for Wu Yong to express his feelings in any way before she nodded. It was just that she always felt unwilling and even a little angry in her heart, thinking that if Wu Yong hadn't brought up this matter, she could still stay with Huahua and Brother Yan and pretend that the marriage had nothing to do with her.
Yinshan Pass, it takes ten days to get there even if you ride a horse at full speed, it’s not as convenient as being in the capital.
But not to mention that all the military generals in the capital are cowards, it is impossible for her to marry down with her status. Brother Yan has already reached the highest position in the government, and he has a maternal family like the Duke of Anguo. After marrying Huahua, he will become related to the Hua family. It would not be appropriate for her to marry into any other family. Xiao Liu'er will not think too much about it now, but he may not think too much about it in the future.
Wu Yong is the most suitable one.
"come out."
Wu Yong, who was peeking through the crack in the door, was startled when he heard the voice. This is not, this is not...
He opened the door with a snap, stepped over the threshold but hesitated and didn't dare to go any closer. He was afraid that there was a huge pit waiting for him ahead.
"How stupid." Shaoyao rolled her eyes, pulled out the long whip from her waist and attacked Wu Yong.
Familiar moves, familiar style. Wu Yong dodged in a panic but with a smile on his face. He is really like a peony!
"Is your face okay?"
Shaoyao put away the whip and looked at him sideways.
Wu Yong came over with a silly smile, "I'm a little uncomfortable."
"Two more cuts?"
"No, no, no, this is beautiful, this is beautiful."
Shaoyao snorted, "It's only been a short time since the war ended. Why are you coming to the capital instead of staying in your Yinshan Pass?"
"Propose marriage." Wu Yong said loudly and without hesitation, "Peony, I like you, just accept my offer."
Even though Shaoyao didn't have that kind of string, she was forced to blush by these shameless words. She turned her back and fiddled with the whip, "If you like me, I have to agree to you?"
"I know Yinshan Pass is a bit far, but there aren't so many rules there. My parents are gone, so you can be the head of the family there, and no one will bother you. When the weather is good, we can go riding on the grassland outside the pass, and you can do whatever you want there. If you miss home, we can go back to the capital. I will ask the emperor for permission tomorrow to live in the capital for half a year and guard the pass for half a year. Anyway, all the people in Yinshan Pass are promoted by my Wu family, so I don't have to worry about them doing something bad while I'm away."
Shaoyao pursed her lips and said that Wu Yong was the most suitable one. At least he was stupid enough and couldn't beat her.
Wu Yong saw hope and walked around to her front to persuade her again with reason and evidence, "You know, there is no one in my backyard, and I promised you that there will be no one else in the future. Shaoyao, I will definitely treat you well."
Shaoyao looked up at the man who expressed his true feelings to her and said, "Can I come back anytime I want?"
"Of course, I'll come back with you."
Shaoyao looked at him for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll marry you."
“!!!” Wu Yong was a little confused when he got such a huge surprise just when he saw hope. Shaoyao’s unconventional approach was truly reflected in every aspect!
"I'll propose to you right away!" Wu Yong was afraid that Shaoyao would change her mind, so he went to change his clothes.
Shaoyao was amused by him, "You can try to propose marriage at this time."
Wu Yong paused, came to his senses, and was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do.
How stupid! Shaoyao snorted, swung her whip and used the force to climb up the courtyard wall. Just as she was about to jump down, she heard the person behind her calling her, so she turned around.
Wu Yong ran over and looked up at her, "You won't change your mind, will you?"
"No." Shaoyao answered bluntly and left without looking back. She didn't know how to feel, but she could see that this man had feelings for her, and that was good.
Wu Yong jumped for joy. What should he prepare for the marriage proposal? Yes, he needs to find a matchmaker. This is easy to find. With his friendship with Old Master Hua, he should be willing to help... Wait, it seems that this is not possible. Shaoyao and the Hua family are considered one. He can't find a matchmaker by going to the woman's side. What else? Yes, he needs to ask the emperor to grant the marriage, and there is also a betrothal gift...
Wu Yong didn't sleep all night and went to the palace the next day full of energy. When the emperor saw him like this, he knew that Shaoyao might have given in. He had expected Shaoyao to give in. That girl was indeed very carefree, but she was a person who knew what was going on. He would naturally protect such a family member.
But before he could finish his words, he heard Wu Yong say that he would stay in Beijing for half a year every year. He swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue with difficulty and said, "Will there be any problems at Yinshan Pass if I am away for half a year?"
"I can come to Beijing in two batches, three months each time, there will be no problem." After a pause, Wu Yong said, "You can also send a deputy general to guard the place."
The emperor shook his head. "The great ancestor left a will that Yinshan Pass should be guarded by the Wu family for generations. I will not intervene there. If you are sure that there will be no problem doing so, I agree."
"I thank the emperor for his grace."
