Chapter 487: Asking for marriage, only marrying one person in a lifetime!
Baili Moqing held Shu He's hand, with a look of determination on his face.
"Father, after Ah He regained consciousness, she desperately took Yi'er away from Yuan City and found me. I cannot let her down!"
"I will marry her! And, in this life, I will only marry her!"
"Please, Father, grant me permission to marry Ah He!"
Emperor Qiwen and Shu He were both shocked.
Shu He didn't expect Baili Moqing to be so straightforward. Without any preparation or any means, he directly asked for permission to propose marriage.
Where did he get such confidence that he would allow a woman with such a bad reputation to enter the royal family?!
"Marry only one person in your life"?
What shocked Emperor Qiwen was that he would actually make such a solemn oath for Shu He!
"Seventh Brother, the Shu family's traditions, I don't need to tell you, you should be very clear about it, right?"
He glanced at Yi'er, then at Shu He, concealing his disgust, and said to Baili Moqing unhappily, "Come with me!"
Seeing that he wanted to talk to Baili Moqing alone, Shu He knew what he would say without having to guess.
Unexpectedly, Baili Moqing refused to chat alone and had no intention of going with him.
"Father, I have already investigated everything that happened. Ah He and I were both framed. This matter has nothing to do with her!"
"As for the Shu family's reputation, it's indeed not very good in the eyes of outsiders, but this has nothing to do with Ah He!"
He wants to marry Shu He, not the Shu family!
Moreover, he will soon deal with those people from the Shu family.
"you!"
Emperor Qiwen pointed at him, his eyes filled with mixed emotions, and finally asked coldly, "Have you made up your mind?"
Baili Moqing replied calmly, "Yes!"
Yi'er seemed to feel the tense atmosphere. She walked to Emperor Qiwen, pulled his sleeve, and looked up at him.
"Grandpa, but shouldn't Dad and Mom get married?"
Baili Moqing's body trembled, and his face showed uncontrollable surprise and joy, as well as a bit of sadness.
Did she just call him "Daddy"?
Yi'er shook Emperor Qiwen's hand, "If the marriage doesn't happen, what will happen to Yi'er? People will call her a bastard!"
"Yier..." Baili Moqing's face showed pain, "You can't say that about yourself!"
Yi'er glanced at him, a hint of indifference in her eyes. Then she looked at Emperor Qiwen, her face full of grievance, "But Grandpa, people say this to Yi'er every day! Just now, an aunt also scolded Yi'er like this..."
"Yaoyao said that only if Daddy and Mommy get married, their children won't be scolded like this."
"Grandpa, Yi'er doesn't want to be scolded like this anymore..."
Emperor Qiwen was stunned, with a look of pity and anger in his eyes.
He touched Yi'er's hair and asked softly, "Does anyone dare to scold you like that? Who is it? Tell grandpa, and grandpa will teach them a lesson for you!"
Yi'er shook her head, a little pride showing on her face, "No need, Grandpa, Yi'er has already taught them a lesson!"
"Mother said, if anyone dares to say that to Yi'er, I will knock out their teeth and make them lose the courage to speak again!"
She raised her little fist and waved it in front of Emperor Qiwen, with a serious look on her face, "Yier is so powerful now, they can't beat me!"
Emperor Qiwen was touched by her serious look and smiled again, "Well, well, well, you are worthy of being my granddaughter! You should be so domineering!"
"From now on, if anyone dares to scold you again, you will knock out all his teeth and make him unable to open his mouth again!"
Yi'er's eyes rolled around and she asked, "Grandpa, can anyone be beaten?"
Emperor Qiwen saw that she had put down the cake in her hand at some point, so he took two cakes and put them back into her hand, saying with a smile, "Anyone can do it! Grandpa said so!"
Yier's round eyes suddenly bent down with laughter, "Well! From now on, if Yier is bullied, just look for grandpa to support you!"
Baili Moqing looked at the grandfather and grandson getting along harmoniously, and he couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.
It would be a lie to say I'm not happy, but if I say I'm happy, I don't seem that happy...
At this time, a palace maid came in trotting and said something to the eunuch beside Emperor Qiwen. His face changed slightly and he walked over quickly.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Ming requests an audience."
Emperor Qiwen didn't want to see him at first, but what the eunuch Liu Qin said in his ear made him look cold.
He stood up in a flash, and the coldness on his face seemed to have turned into ice, making people afraid to look up.
Liu Qin took two steps back, with a hint of panic in his lowered eyes.
Seeing that he was angry again, Yi'er's smile froze for a moment, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"
Emperor Qiwen looked at those innocent eyes, and the anger in his heart was immediately suppressed. He said in a slightly stiff tone, "Be good, Yi'er. Grandpa has to go take care of something. You can have fun here and go back after you're done."
Yi'er nodded obediently, then added, "Grandpa, you should be less angry! Mother said that people who are often angry will damage their livers! In short, it's not good for your health!"
Emperor Qiwen was stunned for a moment, then looked at Shu He.
Her expression remained calm throughout. She was not afraid of his identity, nor did she lose her composure at all because of his anger.
This calm and composed look is really similar to Lao Qi.
No wonder she caught the eye of Old Seven!
He didn't seem to be so repulsive to her anymore.
After leaving the inner study, Emperor Qiwen looked at Liu Qin beside him and asked, "Did you know before that the woman that the seventh brother brought was the daughter of the Shu family?"
Liu Qin was shocked and said quickly, "Your Majesty, when the news came from outside yesterday, I sent people to investigate. I was about to report to you this morning, but you said you had to attend court first. Plus, the matter of Yunlai Kingdom..."
"I haven't had time to say this yet..."
Emperor Qiwen glared at him and indeed remembered that Liu Qin was going to talk about this matter this morning.
But he felt that no matter who the woman the Seventh Prince brought was, as long as she was not from the families of those ministers in the court, he didn't care, so he didn't let him say anything.
He never imagined that the woman would be the same one who attended the flower banquet at the Prime Minister's Mansion five years ago!
This is such a coincidence!
On the terrace of the inner study, Shu He glanced at Baili Moqing and guessed that news of what happened in the Small Imperial Garden had been reported.
Baili Moqing asked the eunuch to pack up the remaining cakes and sent them to Prince Li's mansion. He then took Shu He and Yi'er back to Xingqing Palace.
"Will Concubine Qing be able to wake up today?"
When he talked about what happened five years ago, Emperor Qiwen's reaction made the mystery in his heart even more serious.
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be possible." Shu He saw his anxiety and said, "If you are very anxious, even if she is not awake, I can use silver needles to make her wake up."
