III Jiangshan

While the officials were all guessing and feeling uneasy, another person stood up.

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, I have something to say!" Gu Shuyan got up and left the table, walking to the hall and standing on the other side of the ink pond just like Qi Honglie, Duke of the previous chapter.

Gu Shuyan's figure is not as tall and strong as Qi Honglie's, but he is more handsome and resolute, with an air of arrogance that does not overpower evil.

For a moment, the two Dukes of the Great Wei Dynasty, the patriarchs of the two great families, and the representatives of civil servants and military officials stood beside Mochi, one left and one right.

Such a posture surprised everyone present, and everyone couldn't help but wonder what kind of existence this new top scholar is.

How could Mochi fail to understand Qi Honglie and Gu Shuyan's protective attitude?

These two people were once close relatives of her two lifetimes.Although, they may not be completely clear about her origin, but the heart that cared for her wholeheartedly has not changed since many, many years ago, until now.

Her eyes were still slightly drooping, and the soreness in her eyes was even more intense.

Gu Shuyan's words fell into Yuan Youqi's ears, but she did not express her position in a hurry, but turned her head slightly to look at Queen Mother Wei's reaction——

Yuan Youqi is not a submissive person, she just cares about the current situation of Mochi.There is more than one person in the hall who can't understand Mochi's words and deeds, and wants to make things difficult for him. Yuan Youqi knows that she must first get the support of Queen Mother Wei, so that her words and deeds can be smooth and Mochi can be protected safely.

Empress Dowager Wei sensed her eyes, her expression was still light, but she nodded slightly.

Yuan Youqi was overjoyed.At the same time, faintly, another speculation that had been buried deep in her heart for a long time was slowly sprouting...

"What does An Guogong want to say? Just say it." Yuan Youqi said.

No matter what Gu Shuyan wanted to say, Yuan Youqi was sure that he would never make things difficult for Mochi.

Gu Shuyan, if he stood up, he must have come to advocate for Mochi.Yuan Youqi is determined.

I saw Gu Shuyan cupped his hands in the direction of the throne, and said calmly: "Your Majesty has a lot of talent, and the one who wins must be extraordinary. And Miss Ran is the champion, and it is her majesty's kiss, which must be even more extraordinary. I personally think that Miss Ran Since he is the number one scholar, he must have the talent and style of a national scholar. Why don't your majesty listen to Miss Ran's words before making a decision?"

What he said undoubtedly pointed to a fact: the number one scholar was the number one scholar who was kissed by the emperor, and since it was a kiss, it was good, and others had no right to comment.By extension, no matter whether Mochi proposed to the emperor or said something else, how to make a decision is also the emperor's own business, and others have no right to interfere.

An Guogong's words fell into the ears of the officials present. They saw the two pillars of the country, one civil and one military, standing beside Mochi in a guarding posture. Had to re-weigh the weight of the ink pool.

Originally thought that she was just a woman who won a high position by virtue of her beauty, but unexpectedly, behind her, there were actually two great families as barriers.

Moreover, judging from the performance of Zhang Guogong and An Guogong, it is by no means that they were dragged here reluctantly.On the contrary, they are very willing and sincerely want to be the guardians of the ink pool.

This is unbelievable... Everyone had to re-examine the origin of Mochi, and those contempt and provocations were temporarily suppressed.

At this time, Yuan Youqi's eyes suddenly became clear, and she finally saw clearly the faint guess——

Zhang Guogong and An Guogong came to stand at the corner of the palace to protect Ah Heng!

That is to say, Ah Heng has long planned to propose to herself at today's Qionghua Banquet?

Yuan Youqi thought of this, two blushes appeared on his handsome face, followed by a strong sense of shame: her lack of investigation and surprise before caused Mochi to be questioned by villains.Facing such reprimands, Mochi just endured it so straightly!

I should be the one to protect her!Why, instead, she became the one to bear for me?

Yuan Youqi couldn't sit still anymore, and slowly stood up.

"What An Guogong said is very true. But what Miss Ran said, I already understand..." Yuan Youqi said so, but his amber pupils were always focused on the ink pool.

Because of her gaze, Mochi's body trembled slightly, and tenderness flickered in his eyes.

The emperor had already stood up, who would dare to sit still?Therefore, in the hall, except for Queen Mother Wei, everyone stood up, and all eyes were on Yuan Youqi's every move.

Yuan Youqi took a step forward, bypassing the case, one step, two steps, three steps... getting closer and closer to where Mochi was.

When Qi Honglie and Gu Shuyan saw the emperor approaching, they both moved back three feet knowingly, leaving a space for the emperor and Mochi to be alone, but they still did not lose their previous protective posture.

Standing in front of the Mochi, Yuan Youqi stared at the Mochi steadfastly, his emotions intertwined and agitated as his eyes met, both of them couldn't help feeling hot.

"Miss Ran and I have known each other for a long time... It's been too long..." Yuan Youqi said quietly.

Just one sentence, the past and present, and the time of more than twenty years, scenes and frames flashed through the minds of the two of them, so quickly, but so long.

"My heart has long been the same as that of Miss Ran..." Yuan Youqi's voice became softer and softer, as soft as her eyes fixed on Mochi at the moment.

For a moment, the two of them only had each other's existence in their eyes, and they completely ignored the others, their gazes, and their thoughts.

"I have already fallen in love with Miss Ran..."

"Aheng..." Yuan Youqi suddenly changed his address, which was an intimate address that belonged to only two people.

"Okay, I want to protect you, I want you to be my queen," Yuan Youqi took Mochi's left hand hanging by his side, and protected it in his palm.

That hand was shaking slightly, maybe because of excitement, maybe because of nervousness, which made Yuan Youqi's heart throb slightly, and the pity in his heart was even worse.

"From now on, everything will be left to me!" Yuan Youqi said simply, but firmly.

They, now and in the future, will face many doubts, or it will take many years before those doubts will gradually disappear.But no matter how long it takes, she will never let her Ah Heng face it alone again.She will protect her, always.

The emperor's confession shocked everyone present——

It turned out that it wasn't just Ran Heng who was asking for His Majesty's favor, His Majesty had already...

And the emperor's next move made everyone's jaw drop even more.

Yuan Youqi stretched out his other empty hand towards Mochi, with a gentle smile on his face, as if begging for something from Mochi.

Mochi pursed his lips, blushing slightly, but did not refuse, but took out something and handed it to Yuan Youqi's open palm.

Her gentle and obedient appearance made Yuan Youqi's little heart beat wildly for a while, wishing she could hug her immediately, so as to get close to her.

Yuan Youqi held the thing in his hand, as if he was holding a hot ball, this thing has been with her for more than ten years, and for the first time, she felt that it was so heavy, weighing more than a thousand catties.

She took a deep look at Mochi, temporarily let go of Mochi's hand, walked a few steps towards Empress Dowager Wei, then lifted her robe, and bowed deeply to Empress Wei.

Empress Dowager Wei was moved, and silently let out a long sigh.

Just listen to Yuan Youqi's way: "My child falls in love with Ran Heng, and her heart is the same as that of her child. In this life, my child only wishes to take her as his wife, and please allow her to be granted by the queen mother!"

As he said, he held the thing taken from the ink pool with both hands and presented it to Queen Mother Wei.

What the emperor held in his hand was a sapphire blue object.Those who are closer can see that it is a half-used royal blue purse.

The old officials who have been in front of the imperial court for a long time think this purse is familiar, it seems that the emperor has been used to wearing it for more than ten years, but it seems that he has not seen the emperor wearing it recently... but it is in the hands of Ran Heng?

Could it be, this is a token of love?

The courtiers who realized this, felt that the matter before them was not so simple.

All attention turned from the emperor and Mochi to the emperor and empress dowager Wei.Most people are very curious about how the Empress Dowager Wei will deal with the immediate matter.

Empress Dowager Wei stared at the half-worn purse that Yuan Youqi brought up, her face remained calm, but she was secretly grinding her teeth in her heart, thinking that the two of you are so loving!

Don't say that she was prepared in advance, but she was not prepared. With the situation in front of her, it's hard to understand that she can still be that good at beating mandarin ducks?

You guys have done everything you can to make Aijia the bad guy?snort!Aijia will not be fooled by you!

Empress Dowager Wei still calmly looked at Yuan Youqi who was kneeling not far in front of her, especially the sapphire blue purse she was holding in her hand, she still had a few traces of unwillingness in her heart.

"Does the emperor want to believe in this thing?" Queen Mother Wei said.

Yuan Youqi heard the words, straightened his back, but stood up, met the gaze of Queen Mother Wei, walked a few steps in front of Queen Mother Wei, opened the mouth of the purse on the case, and spread the things inside on Queen Mother Wei's eyes. In front of him, he backed away again, returned to the original place, continued to kneel down, and bowed again: "Yes! The child believes in this thing, please allow the child to marry Ran Heng as his wife!"

The emperor's voice was sonorous and powerful, with a determination that could not be changed, like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of everyone present.They had to agree with one thing in their hearts, and that was: it was a certainty that Ran Heng would become the wife of the emperor and the queen of Wei.

It's just that I don't know what the Queen Mother's attitude is.If the queen mother objects, I'm afraid there will be a lawsuit!

Some even secretly hoped that the queen mother would try her best to oppose it.

Empress Dowager Wei stared at the things in front of her, unable to move her eyes away for a while.

In Yunxu's view, she was extremely curious about what the token held in Mochi's hand was, but she didn't know because of her face. At this moment, she knew——

Two strands of hair of different colors were tied together by a red silk thread.

Empress Dowager Wei would naturally recognize her own child's hair.So, the other part is "the woman surnamed Gu"?

hum!Yeah!Is this the meaning of getting married as husband and wife and staying together forever?

Empress Dowager Wei scoffed secretly.

She suddenly looked away from her knotted hair and cast her eyes on Yuan Youqi.

"The emperor is serious, do you want to do this?" His tone was cold and cold, revealing the determination of a long-standing position.

The author has something to say: All departments pay attention, all departments pay attention, now is the time for His Majesty to show his affection~
