Chapter 1017 Asking for marriage
Chapter 1017: Proposal for Marriage
When Geshanka came in, Duguyin's eyes lit up.
She wore a light coral orange jacket, a beige leather skirt, and a beige chinchilla leather cape.
The face was powdered, which made it look much whiter, and some lipstick was applied on it, making it look delicate and beautiful.
Duguyin nodded appreciatively, "It looks much better dressed like this."
“You will enter the palace soon, so don’t be rude.”
Gshanka nodded, "I don't have to."
The sisters went out and got into the carriage and went to the palace.
At the entrance of the palace, many carriages have been parked.
The carriages are each more exquisite and more ornate than the last.
Geshanka looked at the pearls and jade hanging on the hood of the car and was speechless. How much money this cost.
The sisters got out of the car, and a palace maid came over to guide them to the imperial garden.
In the thermal pavilion in the Imperial Garden, a fire dragon has already been lit.
It snowed in the capital the past two days, but the snow has not melted yet, and it is rare for the sky to be sunny today.
The warm pavilion is inlaid with colorless glazed windows, looking at the windows from the north and east, it is a piece of Merlin.
White plums, red plums, and pink plums compete with each other in the snow.
There are also two rare green plum trees planted outside the north window.
Gu Fei was sitting under the north window, looking at the ladies of each family calmly.
No one knew that this flower viewing party was held because of Su Chen.
Some time ago, Grand Master Su came to Gu Fei and begged her to guide Su Chen in a marriage.
Gu Fei immediately said in a dilemma: "Grand Master, Mr. Su's marriage has the eldest princess and the Su family to worry about. How can I interfere in the family affairs of my ministers?"
Su Taishi sighed, "The eldest princess has always disliked these chores, and I don't dare to go to the princess's residence to disturb her."
Now Xiao Min lives in the princess's mansion, and there are several people in the capital. He has long forgotten about Su Chen's son, and how can he remember Su Chen's marriage?
“My wife is old and rarely goes out. I don’t know which girl in the capital is the best, so I just ask the Queen to find a match for Chen’er. The Queen must have good taste.”
Gu Fei still shied away, "I'm afraid that's not possible. The Su family still has to decide on this marriage, or Mr. Su himself has taken a fancy to it, and the emperor can give it a dignified order."
Su Taishi suddenly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I dare to ask your Majesty to arrange a marriage for Chen'er."
“I tested Chen’er’s intentions several times, but Chen’er actually didn’t plan to get married.”
"The old minister had no intention of forcing him, so he said that it was okay not to get married, but to ask him to take a concubine so that he could continue the family line. When he gets old, he would have children around his knees, so he would not be lonely."
“But he didn’t even want to take a concubine.”
"I am already old and my health is not as good as before. Chen'er is all alone. In the future, when I go underground, I will not be able to see my brother."
He raised his head and said, "Only if the Queen proposes marriage, Chen'er will not refuse. I sincerely ask the Queen to understand my love for Chen'er."
Gu Fei was silent.
She has always felt that she owed Su Chen and did not want to see Su Chen alone for the rest of his life. She also understood the meaning of Taishi Su's words.
It means that only by proposing the marriage yourself can we stop all thoughts of Su Chen.
After a long while, Gu Fei said: "I, I'm worried that if I suggest a marriage to him, if they don't get along, won't they become a pair of resentful couples?"
Su Taishi knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Even if we are a resentful couple, we can leave some flesh and blood for Chen'er. It is better than him being alone. Please be considerate to me, Queen Mother."
