Chapter 520 I want to get married

The prince was startled and said, "Yes, it was your birthday a few days ago. You were not at home, so I forgot about it."

"Your eldest brother's wedding will be held in two days, and I will give you a replacement ceremony and a crown gift."

Xiao Yu waved his hand and said, "Father, there's no need to do anything. It's time for our family to keep a low profile."

The prince nodded slightly and sighed, "That's right. It's better not to do anything."

“As for the marriage, I’ll leave it to your mother and concubine. I heard that your grandmother wrote a letter and mentioned a few good ladies in the capital.”

Xiao Yu said in a deep voice: "Father, my son feels that it is not suitable to marry a powerful person in the capital right now. The more powerful the Qi Palace becomes, the more the Emperor will become restless."

The prince's face was gloomy. What Xiao Yu said was not unreasonable.

Xiao Yu lowered his head, "My son thought, it would be better to marry a girl from an ordinary family. My son is the heir after all. Marrying a girl from an ordinary family might dispel some of the emperor's suspicions."

The prince thought for a long time and said, "That's possible, but wouldn't it be wronging you?"

Xiao Yu cupped his hands and said, "Don't be wronged. My son and the palace are both prosperous and destructive."

“Besides, my son has always disliked noble girls from high-ranking families. They are all arrogant and domineering and annoying.”

The prince looked at Xiao Yu intently for a few seconds, "It seems that you have someone in mind?"

Xiao Yu lowered his eyes and said, "Father is wise, and my son does have a choice in mind."

“Oh, who is it?”

Xiao Yu paused and said, "It's Miss Gu who saved her son's life last time."

The prince narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Yu.

He already understood in his heart that what Xiao Yu said before was just an excuse to dispel the emperor's suspicion, just to make himself agree to marry Miss Gu.

Thinking of Miss Gu, the prince thought of her fairy-like appearance and the elixir that saved Xiao Yu's life.

He knocked on the table lightly, "Miss Gu—"

"I heard that Miss Gu's family is just a farmer. Although she wants to marry low, her background is too low."

Xiao Yu lowered his eyes. It seemed that after Xiao Fei rescued him last time, his father checked Xiao Fei.

Now that he mentioned Miss Gu, his father did not scold him harshly, which showed that there was still hope.

Next, it depends on whether he can impress his father.

He suddenly lifted up his robe and knelt down, "Father, my son begs my father to agree to marry Miss Gu."

“My son wants to marry Miss Gu, firstly because he is grateful for her life-saving grace, and secondly because he is a son. Actually,” he showed a somewhat embarrassed look, “my son really likes Miss Gu.”

"Also, what my son said just now is not nonsense. If the emperor's doubts cannot be dispelled as soon as possible, I don't know what other actions the emperor will take."

“The son is worried that his father will be summoned to Beijing!”

Conspiracy is often inferior to conspiracy. Xiao Yu knew that his father would not be led by him in such a big matter, so it would be better to deliberately expose his little thoughts and win his trust.

The prince looked at his son who was kneeling on the ground. He knew that Xiao Yu had always been straightforward and impulsive. He would say whatever he wanted and his personality was arrogant and awkward.

It is not easy for me to say these words.

He looked at her for a while and then laughed, "Then Miss Gu is so beautiful that it's no wonder you like her."

“I thought you would accept Miss Gu into your house in the future, but I didn’t expect—”

 He ​​tapped his fingers on the table lightly, thinking in his heart that it was really not appropriate to marry a powerful person now. If he married a girl from a sixth- or seventh-rank official family, she would look better on the surface, but in fact it would not bring any help to the palace.
