Chapter 186 Lovers finally get married
Xiao Mo didn't dare to speculate and didn't know what he was thinking at the moment, so she didn't dare to continue talking before he gave his attitude.
After a long time, when Qi Minxiu wanted to say something to ease this extremely cold atmosphere, the emperor finally spoke.
"You are right, but my consort cannot be a fool."
Hearing what he said, Xiao Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty underestimated this man. When he fought with me, he had already competed with dozens of contestants.
But he was still able to withstand many of my moves, which shows that if he is trained, he will definitely be a powerful general."
The emperor was not present at the scene and only heard descriptions of him from the people who reported back.
Now that Xiao Mo said this, he had a different opinion of him: "If someone is even affirmed by you, then his basic skills must not be very bad."
"This is the conclusion I came to after fighting him once. I feel that as long as he treats the princess sincerely, his abilities, whether good or bad, can be cultivated."
The emperor raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and looked at her with a little more appreciation in his eyes.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that if Xiao Mo was a few years older, she would definitely be the most favored concubine in the harem.
Because her ability to solve his problems is so strong.
And every time she could use words to convince him of things he originally didn't think was right.
Just like what happened with Qi Suyuan before, she pulled him back from the pain with just a few words.
There is also Xu Renchuan. He was not very optimistic about this person when she recommended him, but it turned out that she had good vision.
Another thing is this time. I don’t know if she is too eloquent or he is too obsessed with his status.
In short, after listening to her analysis, he actually felt that feelings were indeed more important than status.
After all, Qi Minxiu's mother was just a woman from an ordinary family.
Didn't he love her so much at that time that he forgot everything and tried his best to marry her into the Eastern Palace?
As the emperor was thinking about it, he turned his gaze to Qi Minxiu.
Xiao Mo is very similar to Qi Minxiu's mother in one respect, that is, they both believe in true love.
Moreover, their personalities are very similar. If they like someone, they will like him even if he is a beggar, and if they don’t like someone, they will still dislike him even if he is the emperor.
Xiao Mo was frightened by his puzzled look and couldn't help but turn her head to look at Qi Minxiu beside her.
Qi Minxiu coughed lightly and said loudly, "I think what General Xiao said makes sense."
The emperor was brought back to his senses by his voice. He took a deep breath, sat back on the dragon throne, and raised his hand to signal them to stand up.
"Sit down. Since you all are optimistic about this relationship, then summon them to the palace so I can take a look at them myself."
Xiao Mo and Qi Minxiu smiled at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, Princess Zhaoning and the poor disciple were brought in.
They walked to the center of the hall, looked at each other cautiously, and then knelt down to salute the emperor.
The emperor stared at the man next to Princess Zhaoning with a dark look in his eyes and said, "Stand up and give the princess a seat."
Princess Zhaoning looked back at the man every time she walked, and only felt a little relieved when she didn't hear the emperor's voice after she sat down.
The man lowered his head nervously, not daring to breathe.
The emperor chuckled, easing the tense atmosphere a bit. "Am I that scary? Raise your head."
The man slowly raised his chin and revealed his face.
The emperor looked him over carefully and asked, "What's your name? Where are you from? What do you do for a living?"
The man was a little surprised that he would ask him these questions and was stunned for a moment.
"Your Majesty, my name is Yang Zerui. My residence is located in the eastern part of the Imperial City. My family runs a martial arts school."
"Martial arts school?" The emperor pursed his lips slightly, his sword-like eyebrows slightly raised.
No wonder he's so good at fighting...
Xiao Mo and Qi Minxiu looked at each other, and their thoughts were surprisingly consistent.
Yang Zerui couldn't understand the emperor's expression, so he could only lower his eyes, hook his chin and respond in a low voice.
The princess sitting next to them watched their conversation and was so anxious that she clenched her handkerchief tightly and didn't even notice that her lip was bitten.
The emperor moved his body, stood up and took two steps.
"I just heard someone say that the relationship between two people is more important than their identities. Yang Zerui, what do you think?"
When his identity was mentioned, Yang Zerui's already uncomfortable expression became even uglier.
He couldn't tell whether the emperor was really asking him or just reminding him subtly.
Seeing that he didn't answer, the emperor stared at him with an unhappy expression and narrowed his eyes.
Princess Zhaoning saw that the emperor was about to get angry, and quickly reminded Yang Zerui in a low voice: "Arui, father is asking you a question!"
Yang Zerui came back to his senses and kowtowed respectfully to the person on the dragon throne.
"If the relationship between two people that the emperor is referring to is one of mutual love, then I think this relationship is indeed more important than status."
He spoke sincerely, his tone was confident and there was no fear at all.
The emperor curled his lips and glanced at the princess, then turned his gaze back to him: "Then do you think that the relationship between you and the princess can overcome the gap in your status?"
This fatal question stumped everyone present.
Even Xiao Mo, whose mind was pounding with lust, couldn't think of any satisfactory answer for a moment.
Princess Zhaoning was afraid that Yang Zerui's words would offend the emperor, and was about to stand up and kneel beside him to speak for him when he spoke.
"In my eyes, the relationship between me and the princess is more important than anything else.
Because the princess is the love of my heart, I would rather die than live without her, and I would not be able to eat without her.
We love each other and are willing to give our lives for each other. No one can separate us except the supreme imperial power.
I, the humble servant, would like to ask Your Majesty that if you cannot marry the princess, you should allow me to stay by her side as an attendant or guard to protect her."
After saying this, Yang Zerui kowtowed to the emperor again.
The emperor looked at him in a daze, then suddenly relaxed his brows and laughed.
"With your current status, you are indeed unworthy of my princess. So, are you willing to improve yourself?"
Did he mean to agree? Princess Zhaoning and Yang Zerui looked at each other in disbelief.
Yang Zerui smiled happily, his eyebrows curved, and he kowtowed three times: "I am willing."
Princess Zhaoning excitedly walked over to him and knelt down, tears welling in her eyes. She also kowtowed, "Thank you, father!"
The emperor smiled and sighed, as if he had relieved a huge worry.
"You should also thank General Xiao. She risked her own life to speak well of you and praised your relationship to the skies."
When Princess Zhaoning heard this, she turned around and looked at her with tears of gratitude.
"Ning'er thanks General Xiao very much. In the future, if General Xiao needs Ning'er's help with anything, please feel free to ask. Ning'er will definitely do her best to help."
"I, Yang Zerui, would like to thank General Xiao for his kind words."
Xiao Mo felt a little embarrassed by the two of them. She wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.
