The atmosphere in the banquet hall suddenly became a little frozen. Even the ritual musicians who were playing the music subconsciously stopped the music they were playing and looked towards Chu Mo.
Chu Mo is ugly, his smile looks even uglier, but his eyes are very bright and pure. It's just that this purity is completely covered by his ugly appearance, and no one will notice except his parents and very few relatives.
He took a step forward, and first saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty loves you, and this junior is terrified."
The boy's voice was very clean and crisp. There is no such timidity as people imagine, let alone promises. He raised his head and boldly looked at the drunken emperor: "But this junior dare not accept it."
call!
At that moment, Chu Tianji and Ji Qingyu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. At the same time, a feeling of desolation, sadness and distress came out again.
The child is wronged!
In front of so many people, and considering the face of the emperor, he didn't say no, but said he didn't dare to accept it. It is conceivable that the child's heart must be full of grievances at this moment.
Why dare not accept it? Because it is unacceptable! Because even if you accept it, you will only humiliate yourself!
As an iron-blooded general who has won every battle, Chu Tianji has an ugly expression at this moment. He lowered his head slightly, and there was a faint sparkle in those tiger eyes. In the hand holding the chair, the veins popped.
The armrest of that hard top-quality wooden chair has been scratched by him!
It turned into powder and scattered on the ground.
Almost no one saw this scene, but the few who saw it all felt a little bit in their hearts. They all knew that the general still felt uncomfortable in his heart!
Ji Qingyu's eyes were slightly red, but she looked at her son with a smile. She was both sad and proud of her son's sensibleness. All you see is my son's not-so-good face and his frail body, but you can't see his proud heart!
At this moment, the emperor couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, but he casually glanced at Chu Tianji, but his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He knew that his old friend felt uncomfortable. However, this matter is not without remedy.
If any princess stood up at this time and offered to marry Chu Mo, in fact, today's matter would have passed satisfactorily.
Although the emperor had drunk too much and proposed this marriage on a whim, in fact, he was not fooling around. Leaving aside the political marriage, it can bring the two parties closer together and make Chu Tianji even more determined. It's not like the emperor doesn't know anything about Chu Mo, a child.
Although the kid seemed withdrawn and didn't even have a friend. But in fact, this ugly boy who is weak and unable to cultivate is actually a child with inner beauty!
He is familiar with classics and historical classics, and is proficient in all kinds of miscellaneous studies. Regardless of his young age, he is a truly learned person.
In fact, if it wasn't for his ugly appearance, even if he is weak and unable to practice, he would definitely be a very sought-after marriage partner.
The emperor's eyes swept towards his young daughters.
Those ten-year-old little princesses all lowered their heads, and no one spoke!
There were even some who had been hiding before, but they had already started to sneak out at this time!
"This is really..." The emperor felt really helpless in his heart, he couldn't force marriage. Although he can do this, but in this way, he will lose his original intention.
At this moment, a young girl stood up among the royal relatives over there. The girl looked sixteen or seventeen years old, with long hair like a waterfall and a shawl, wearing a white dress, with a slender waist, her black eyebrows like mountains, and her eyes like water. , the skin is better than snow. Definitely a true beauty embryo. Now every frown and smile makes people fascinated. If she grows up, she will definitely be a youthful and peerless beauty.
Her name is Xia Zhenzhen, and she is the ninth princess of the current emperor. In the whole Great Xia, she has a huge reputation, and there are countless people who want to marry her!
Whether it is princes, ministers, or secular people, they are not generally fond of the nine princesses. It is no exaggeration to say that the princess's reputation among the people is no less than that of the present prince!
What's outstanding about such a youthful beauty... is not just her appearance, she is excellent in talent, proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, gentle temperament, virtuous and virtuous. Then, she has a little-known identity. She is the closed disciple of the most powerful Water Lily Fairy in the world today!
The water lily fairy is said to be a figure who has lived for hundreds of years. Her face is not old, and her strength is the best in the world. It's always been Shenlong who sees the beginning but never ends, and being able to accept Xia Zhenzhen as a disciple has exceeded the expectations of many top existences.
However, Xia Zhenzhen's identity was known to very few people. But even if this identity is removed, her other aspects are enough to make all men fall in love with him.
Over the years, there have been countless people who wanted to propose marriage to the emperor, like crucian carp crossing the river. But none of them ever worked out. Even the princes of neighboring countries came to ask for marriage in person. However, still no success.
Many people said that Princess Xia Zhenzhen was like a real fairy, she did not eat the fireworks of the world, and there was no young handsome man in this world who could match her.
Therefore, although Princess Xia Zhenzhen is now sixteen years old, she has never been married. You know, under normal circumstances, the royal princess, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, already has a designated marriage partner.
Their marriage is actually involuntary.
When the emperor saw Princess Jiu standing up, he was so shocked that he completely woke up from the wine, and his mind went blank. He didn't understand, what was Jiu'er doing at a time like this? Could it be...
Thinking of this, the emperor didn't even dare to think about it anymore. If so, then today's excitement would be too great!
The majestic nine princesses, the most beautiful flower in the entire Great Xia, the amazingly talented and talented daughter of heaven. Having a crush on Chu Mo, an ugly young man from the Chu family... This kind of thing is unbelievable when you think about it. If it happens, the emperor doesn't even dare to think about what will happen to Chu Mo's future.
I'm afraid he won't live until the day he gets married at the age of twenty!
Because it is simply too enviable!
The other people in the banquet hall were also stunned when they saw Xia Zhenzhen stand up.
Many young children from princely and noble families stayed there with wide-eyed eyes. Several young heroes who thought they were qualified to marry the princess stood up immediately.
A young man who looked eighteen or nineteen years old, tall and straight, handsome, with a masculine air. He is the youngest son of Liu Zhiyuan, a first-rank official in the dynasty, named Liu He. In the entire imperial capital, he was known as the head of the Five Young Masters.
The so-called five young men are the young children of five top honorable families. Each one has amazing talents. These five young men are not five shitty playboys, but five truly top talents.
Some people even predicted that the five of them would definitely have a place in the court of Great Xia in the future, and it would definitely not be a bad position!
Liu He likes Princess Nine, and has been chasing her crazily. Many people know about it, and it's not a day or two. The entire imperial capital, almost from the princes and nobles to the common people, all know about this matter.
But Princess Nine never gave Liu He the slightest chance. In Liu He's view, this is because he is not good enough, as long as he is good enough, one day, he will definitely impress the heart of the nine princesses.
So all along, Liu He has not been too anxious, nor has he been too attached to this matter. He knew very well that any good woman would not like that kind of self-righteous and stalking man. He is a real genius, so he would not do that kind of thing.
But at this moment, he couldn't help it anymore, because anyone who is smarter can see what the ninth princess wants to do at this moment.
"She wants to save the field!"
But the problem is, anyone can come to rescue this kind of situation, but you are the only one who can't, Ninth Princess!
If you nod your head today and agree to this marriage, then this matter will really be confirmed.
Who is General Chu Tianji? Is that a harmless businessman? Is he a commoner that everyone can bully
All no!
He is the most astonishingly talented general in the Great Xia Empire!
He is unparalleled in domineering and aggressive. He has laid down a large area of land for Daxia, and his military achievements are powerful enough to make anyone look up to him!
To marry into such a family, as long as you nod your head, even if you are the best princess in the dynasty, it will become an established fact!
Who dares to go back on his word? The emperor dare not!
Therefore, this matter must be stopped before Xia Zhenzhen opens her mouth!
Liu He has always been quick-witted, and his mind is also very clever. When Xia Zhenzhen stood up, before he could speak, he had already stood up and said at the same time: "Brother Chu Mo."
Chu Mo turned his head and looked towards Liu He. There was no emotion in his pure eyes, as calm as the well water in the depths of an ancient well.
This look made Liu He's heart skip a beat. He had heard of the general's ugly son in the past, but he had never met him, let alone understood him. Seeing Chu Mo's eyes now, the equally intelligent Liu He suddenly felt that things might be a little difficult.
But at this time, the arrow is on the string, and he has no choice but to speak out. He has already stood up. If he doesn't say a word, or if he doesn't say it beautifully, it will affect his own reputation.
Therefore, Liu He first showed a smile on his face, making his expression look extremely sincere, and he said very sincerely: "Brother Chu Mo, Brother Yu, how old are you? Say?"
Chu Mo didn't speak, but still looked at him calmly.
This made Liu He, who was also extremely proud, somewhat annoyed, and thought: What do you mean? underestimate me
However, there was no hint of impatience on his face.
