However …
The Emperor glanced at his expressionless daughter and felt a little troubled.
Over the past few years, there had been quite a few men who had asked for Ah Luan's hand in marriage. However, no matter who it was, Ah Luan would always reply with two words: "Not marrying."
Although it was true that the Emperor's daughter didn't have to worry about marriage, which parent didn't worry about their children's marriage?
If it was someone else, the Emperor wouldn't have to be so conflicted. He would just issue an edict and the girl would have to marry him whether she wanted to or not.
However, this stubborn girl was his favorite daughter.
The Emperor could even ignore the objections of all the courtiers and send her to the battlefield. Why would he let his daughter suffer because of a marriage?
Hence, the Emperor didn't agree on the spot. Instead, he turned to look at Gu Shengyin.
The courtiers also lowered their heads and focused their attention on Gu Shengyin.
Some of them were thinking, 'Why doesn't General Shi take this opportunity to earn a title?'
With his military achievements, he would definitely have a bright future. Why would he have to worry about not having a beautiful wife?
Princess Fei Luan was beautiful, but she was too stubborn. A woman like her might not be a good wife.
Most importantly, this princess had already rejected countless marriage proposals. If General Shi were to be rejected again this time, as a man, it would not look good for him.
Gu Shengyin didn't move under everyone's gaze. She remained silent for a long time before saying, "Everything will be decided by Father."
See, it was indeed a rejection …
Wait!
Many people took a moment to react. What did Princess Fei Luan just say?
Everything will be decided by Father!
In other words, the girl was too embarrassed to agree on the spot, so she pushed the blame onto her father.
The Emperor was also a little confused. However, he couldn't help but smile after recovering.
Did Ah Luan just agree?
He looked at his daughter. She didn't have much of an expression on her face. It was as if the decision she just made wasn't something that would decide her life.
Looking at the courtiers, the Emperor felt a sense of belonging when he saw their shocked expressions.
That's right, this reaction is normal.
He coughed softly and looked at Shi Lei, who was still kneeling on the ground. The Emperor's gaze unconsciously softened.
Yes, previously, Shi Lei was a subject that he thought highly of. Now, he was looking at him as a son-in-law!
"General Shi, you may rise," the emperor said to Shi Lei.
"Ah Luan is my most beloved daughter. General Shi, please take care of her in the future."
With that, the matter was settled.
Shi Lei tried his best to conceal the ecstasy in his eyes. He cupped his hands and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
When he returned to his seat, his colleagues around him looked at him differently.
Before this, in their eyes, General Shi was a junior with a boundless future. With his military achievements, it was even possible for him to become one of the Three Ministers in the future.
But now, it wasn't just a possibility. It was a sure thing.
He was about to become Princess Fei Luan's son-in-law!
Everyone knew how much the emperor doted on Princess Fei Luan. If she was a man, she would have been the heir to the throne a long time ago.
For the sake of Princess Fei Luan's reputation, even if General Shi was a good-for-nothing, the Emperor would still promote him.
Not to mention, not only was he not a good-for-nothing, he was also a one-in-a-million talent.
