Chapter 252 Asking the Emperor for a Marriage
The next morning, Gu Changfeng petitioned the emperor in the court. He said that he had been at the frontier for five years and felt deeply lonely. He hoped that the emperor would agree to a marriage for him, and that the Minister of Rites would be a good choice.
For a moment, the court was as quiet as a chicken.
The emperor was also shocked. His mind was full of questions. Didn't they say that his brother was having an affair with the second son of the Shen family? Why did they change the person now? He glanced at Minister Wen. He had a handsome face. Even when it was a big deal, he was not surprised. He was a calm person.
Could it be that I guessed wrong? My brother has always liked Wen Heng instead of Shen Mingjue?
"Who did you say you wanted?" the emperor asked again.
Gu Changfeng was very clear that if he wanted to have the best of both worlds, he could only marry Wen Heng as originally planned, and then return to the real world. Otherwise, the mission would fail, and Shen Mingjue and everyone here would cease to exist.
"Minister Wen of the Ministry of Rites." He said firmly.
Today Shen Mingyuan was sick, and Lou Xu was still in the court. He looked very bad. Even though he knew that the prince might not be with his brother for his career, who else could he choose? Wen Heng had been ambiguous with the prince before, and they even had sex before going to school at Suixia Academy... How could Shen Mingjue accept this?
He no longer dared to think about how he would tell Shen Mingyuan what happened today when he got home.
The emperor took a few deep breaths, still unable to accept this fact, and said: "In this case, I will grant you two a marriage, which can be regarded as a reward for your fighting for the country. Minister Wen, what do you think?"
Wen Heng took a step to the right and said, "I have no objection." He had guessed it a long time ago. Anyway, the prince and Shen Mingjue had fallen out when they were at the Suixia Academy, and he had tried to bring them together before, so this would not be considered unfair to Shen Mingjue.
Wen Heng thought so, but the truth was that the prince and Shen Mingjue got married on the grassland and lived in love for five years. Gu Changfeng never told this to anyone he met after returning to Beijing.
"Okay, in that case, Li Xue, please check the lunar calendar to see which day is better."
The eunuch beside him was already shocked. He had been on guard against this old prince who was more powerful than the emperor and intended to murder the emperor. Now he wanted to marry the minister of rites in front of the emperor. How could this be allowed? But what could he, a eunuch, do?
"In reply to the Emperor, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are both auspicious days."
The emperor thought for a moment and said, "It was a little hasty..."
Gu Changfeng was also shocked. How could it be so fast? But it would take him ten days or half a month to get married with Wen Heng, which was very torturous. If Shen Mingjue knew about it, he might be very sad... It is better to start early and go back early.
"Your Majesty, although our dynasty does not taboo marriage between men, I do not want to make a big fuss about it. This is also for the sake of Minister Wen's reputation."
Yes, it would be a bit too much to announce their affair to the world. The emperor nodded and said, "Then I order you two to get married the day after tomorrow."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xiao Wo was still dozing off, but he woke up when he heard these words. He opened the control panel and saw that the progress of the task had reached 99%. Now as long as the host and the wrong protagonist got married, his task would be completed.
Their "bad-ending article rescue system" is to severely punish the authors of those bad endings, especially those fools like Gu Changfeng who can't even remember anything. After losing the halo of the protagonist, they will definitely be miserable.
