Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

The prince took over his words, looked at the emperor, and said in a loud voice: "Father, my sixth brother first came to your house to refuse marriage and humiliate the eldest daughter of the Yu family, and then concealed his identity and entered the military camp to cause trouble. Second Uncle Yu was the general of the Northern Expedition appointed by you personally, so why can't you beat up a rude and arrogant monkey who bullies others by taking advantage of his power?"

The emperor was silent, and the whole world was silent.

After a long moment, the emperor sighed, turned his head and looked at Jin Liu, holding back his heartache, and asked through gritted teeth, "Yu Er has been with me since childhood, and I have been going up mountains and down seas together. Don't I know what kind of person he is? His daughter, Yu Da, has been well-read and talented since childhood. You are a stubborn boy who has no ambition to make progress. It was only after I begged Yu Er and persuaded him, and even gave him two jars of good wine, that he agreed to this marriage. I ask you, do you want to marry him or not?"

Jin Liu was already angry when he saw that his elder brother did not stand on his side. Then he heard that his father had also changed sides and his stubborn temper flared up. He tilted his head and gritted his teeth and said, "I won't marry! Whoever wants to marry me can marry me. Anyway, I won't marry her!"

"You..." The emperor was furious. He suddenly took off his cotton shoes and slapped Jin Liu's buttocks hard. While beating her, he asked, "Will you marry me?"

Jin Liu was already injured, and the emperor, in his rage, did not hold back, and he tossed and turned on the couch, but he was stunned and just answered every question the emperor asked.

The emperor took his cotton shoes, stepped on the ground barefoot, pressed his son onto the couch and gave him a good beating, but in the end he was unable to pull the stubborn boy back and was breathing heavily in anger. The prince was busy pulling his father aside and trying to wink at Jin Liu. Jin Liu was getting angrier and angrier the more he thought about it, but he pretended not to see it, snorted coldly, wiped his tears, and replied with gritted teeth.

"Don't marry!"

Hongze and Anan knelt by the side the whole time, wanting to laugh but not having the courage to do so, and unable to stand up or walk, so they could only kneel with red faces. Anan had never seen the emperor before, and originally thought that he would be a man who was decisive and high-handed, but he turned out to be a good father with a bad temper and full of love. He looked at him curiously, and saw that he was in his early fifties, with a tall stature and a clear face. He was domineering and a bit ruffian, but he did not feel scared, but rather approachable.

In the end, the emperor couldn't bear it anymore, so he threw his shoes to the ground, snorted coldly, and walked out with big strides.

The prince bent down to pick up his father's shoes and followed behind. When he passed by Hongze and Anan, he stopped and stared at Anan for a while, then smiled and sighed to Hongze, "You are grown up now and have a wife."

Hongze nodded: "Yes."

"It's my own fault that you've returned home without a place to stay. How about this, I'll add another house to the reward list this time. Tomorrow I'll have the Ministry of Internal Affairs accompany you, and you can take your wife with you to choose your own place!"

Hongze thanked him, and Anan took the opportunity to look up at the prince. He saw that he was about thirty years old. He was not as handsome as Jin Liu, and not even as handsome as his father, the emperor. He was half a head shorter than the emperor. It was obvious that he acted fairly, was meticulous in what he said and did, mature and generous, and his values ​​were more upright than his facial features. He was truly admirable.

For some reason, the Crown Prince's steps were a little up and down. Anan was not aware of the situation and was afraid that people would think he was laughing at the Crown Prince, so he forced himself to see him off even though his feet were aching. Every step he took was excruciatingly painful.

Hongze had been walking beside her. Seeing that she was staring at the prince, he simply picked her up and carried her sideways, following behind the prince.

The prince looked back and saw this scene. He was both angry and amused, so he said, "Come on, go back! The emperor is worried that his precious son doesn't want to get married. If you let him see your loving couple, won't you be beaten?"

Hongze accepted his favor and without any extra formalities, he carried Anan back.
