"Hahahaha, Brother Lin, congratulations, congratulations! It's just that my son and I came in a hurry this time and didn't prepare any gifts to express our gratitude. Please don't take it to heart. " Ye Wei cupped his fists and walked over with a sincere smile. Ye Wuchen also had a smile on his face and bowed slightly to Lin Zhan when he approached.
"Hahahaha!" Lin Zhan also laughed heartily. "Brother Ye, what are you saying? I'm already very happy that you could come. There's no need to take it to heart. Come in, come in."
If it wasn't for the fact that the two of them were at loggerheads, everyone would definitely think that the two of them were good brothers. At this moment, they couldn't help but praise. A big family was indeed a big family. Even their acting skills weren't fake. Looking at their smiles, it couldn't be more fake.
"General Ye, and … Ye Gongzi, please come in." Lin Xiao came out to welcome them and said politely. However, when he said the three words "Ye Gongzi", his voice was obviously a little strange. Under his exquisite attire, Lin Xiao could be said to be a dashing and elegant man. Just by standing there, he could attract the attention of countless girls.
"What a perfect little gigolo." Ye Wuchen couldn't help but give the same words that he used to praise himself to Lin Xiao.
"Young Master Lin, congratulations. Hehe, congratulations! "Ye Wuchen deliberately lowered his tone and said with a strange smile.
Young Master Lin's heart suddenly jumped, and he became more and more uneasy. He forced a smile, avoided Ye Wuchen's gaze, and walked to the front hall. What a gentleman was most afraid of was the kind of "despicable person" who would use all kinds of methods to steal their love. As the saying goes, "A gentleman doesn't steal another's love." If it was reversed, did it mean that "a gentleman can steal another's love"? If it was reversed, it would mean that "a gentleman who steals another's love is not a gentleman."
As soon as Ye Wei and Ye Wuchen sat down, several people dressed like scholars came over one after another. These respected seniors all humbly asked Ye Wuchen for advice on literature and painting, and they all praised to Ye Wei that the Yeh family had such a peerless genius. It must be God's blessing for the Yeh family. And there were several fathers who had been troubled by their daughters recently, and they shamelessly came over to promote their daughters.
What impressed Ye Wuchen the most was General Zhuge Wuyi, who had almost knelt in front of Ye Wuchen. Zhuge Wuyi was General Ye Nu's subordinate, and he was also trained by Ye Nu. he was naturally the person he respected most in his life. Zhuge Wuyi also had a high prestige in the military. His daughter's name was Zhuge Xiaoyu. According to this general with a long face, his daughter had already announced that she would not marry anyone else but Ye Wuchen. Every day when he was at home, she would use her high-pitched voice to force him to propose marriage. Even when the Yeh family sent people to his home to refuse her, she did not give up, which made General Zhuge really miserable. Moreover, that Zhuge Xiaoyu even claimed that she would personally go to the Yeh family in a few days.
Anthomaniac … was a type of maternal animal that existed in any world. Ye Wuchen didn't take it seriously. In his opinion, this kind of infatuation, which was similar to "chasing stars", would gradually fade and disappear with the passage of time and continuous exposure to cold water.
However, he would soon find out that he had underestimated Zhuge Xiaoyu's stubbornness. Because of this, he gained a female military god who would be killed thousands of miles away on the battlefield in the future. Wherever she went, the enemies would be terrified.
At this time, Zhuge Xiaoyu was in her boudoir, drawing the image of her Prince Charming on a piece of toilet paper with a paintbrush, just like countless young girls who were thinking about love. It was just that her drawing skills were a little terrible …
"The Emperor has arrived! The Empress has arrived! "
The announcement shocked everyone in the hall. All the people in the hall stood up at the same time, walked down from their seats, and stood in the middle of the hall, ready to welcome the Emperor. When Long Yin walked in with a dignified smile and a beautiful woman in a phoenix costume, all the people in the hall immediately knelt down and shouted at the top of their lungs, "My Emperor will be broken into a million pieces. The Empress will be broken into a million pieces."
In such a large guest hall, only Ye Wuchen was standing. He just slightly bent his waist and saluted in the direction of Long Yin, which was as eye-catching as a crane in a flock of chickens.
The middle-aged woman next to Long Yin naturally saw him at a glance. Her eyes flashed with surprise and beauty at the same time. Because the temperament and aura this person showed, actually faintly overshadowed her nephew, Lin Xiao, and he was still so calm in this situation. She couldn't help but think more highly of him. Although she had never seen Ye Wuchen, how could she not have heard of his rumors? At this time, she had already vaguely guessed it. She immediately shouted angrily, "You are so bold, seeing the Emperor and aijia, you don't kneel!"
Ye Wuchen naturally knew the identity of this person … Empress Lin Xiu, the daughter of Lin Kuang, and the sister of Lin Zhan.
Ye Wuchen replied with a smile, "Ye Wuchen greets the Empress. My teacher has instructed that Wuchen cannot kneel to welcome. And the Emperor has graciously allowed Wuchen not to kneel. "
"Hehe! Empress, this is the Yeh family's Wuchen that has been the talk of the palace for the past few days. He is fully deserving of our Tenryū Province's number one hero, the number one scholar. I also gave him special permission that day not to kneel to anyone. " Long Yin nodded, then he raised his hand and said with a smile, "Everyone may rise. Today, we are all here for the marriage between the Lin family and the Hua family, there is no need to be so courteous."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The people stood up in a hubbub, then returned to their seats in an orderly manner. Lin Xiu looked at Ye Wuchen a few times, but did not say anything.
Lin Zhan stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty has specially come for my son's matter. The entire Lin family is truly overwhelmed by the favor. Your Majesty, please take a seat of honor. Coincidentally, my father is in pain today, unable to get down from the bed. I hope Your Majesty can forgive me. "
Lin Xiao also stepped forward and said, "I am indebted to Your Majesty's great kindness, Lin Xiao will never forget it for the rest of his life."
Long Yin chuckled, "I was the one who arranged your marriage back then, how can I not be present on the day of the engagement?" He glanced around and frowned, "Oh? General Hua is not here yet? "
"Your Majesty! I, Old Hua, am here! "
Long Yin had just finished speaking when a loud roar sounded from outside the hall, shaking the roof so much that the dust on the roof rustled down. Even if Hua Zhentian did not announce his name, they would be able to figure out the owner of this voice with their toes.
Hua Zhentian strode in with his head held high, his face full of vigor. Then, he knelt on the ground and shouted, "Old Hua kowtows in salute to Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Empress!"
"General Hua, please rise! Oh? Shinji did not come with you? "Long Yin asked.
Hua Zhentian stood up and replied, "In reply to Your Majesty, my daughter is naturally afraid of people. She is still outside and unwilling to come in."
"Hahahaha!" Long Yin laughed heartily, "We have long heard of Shinji's personality. However, today is different. How can she not come out on the engagement day to meet her husband? Very well, we are very happy today and will personally invite her, hahahaha. "
After laughing a few times, Long Yin really strode out.
Personally invite her? The crowd could not believe their ears. However, before they could be shocked, a loud roar sounded in their ears, "Your Majesty, please wait! Hua … this official has something to say!"
Lin Xiao and Lin Kuang's hearts tightened at these words.
"Oh? General Hua, please speak your mind. "Long Yin turned around and said with a smile. It was obvious that he was in a good mood today.
"This is what this official wants to say. This official did not bring my daughter here today to get engaged. I hope that Your Majesty and the Lin family can cancel the engagement. "Hua Zhentian said without changing his expression.
The hall was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard. Everyone held their breath. It really happened. It seemed that the rumors were true … However, it was easy to say it out loud. Would the Emperor and the Lin family really cancel the engagement? And how would the Hua family end up?
A portion of the gazes looked towards Ye Wuchen. However, they found that he had a calm expression. It was as if this matter did not concern him at all.
The smile on Long Yin's face disappeared without a trace. Lin Xiu's expression also darkened. Long Yin frowned, "General Hua, what did you say? Say it again! "
"This official hopes that Your Majesty and the Lin family can cancel the engagement!" Hua Zhentian said resolutely.
"Give me a reason!" Long Yin's expression darkened.
"Because the person my daughter likes isn't the young master of the Lin family. This official cannot marry my daughter to someone she doesn't like!" Hua Zhentian said.
Long Yin was so angry that he laughed, "This is your reason? The engagement between Shinji and Lin Xiao was witnessed by me. If you want to go back on your words, why did you agree to it in the first place? We have always respected you for being a man of your word and a man of his word. Your words really make us hope so much! A monarch does not go back on his words. I have never gone back on my decision. Now you want me to cancel the engagement. Where do you place my reputation? Where do you place the Lin family? "
Lin Xiu also said angrily, "General Hua, my nephew Lin Xiao is publicly recognized as a dragon among men. He has countless admirers. How is he not worthy of Shinji? At his age, even if he is engaged, he can have many wives and concubines. But for Shinji, he has kept his chastity and not approached other women. He is such a loyal and righteous person. What reason do you, Hua Zhentian, have to cancel the engagement? Are you not letting His Majesty and Lin Xiao down? "
Hua Zhentian lowered his head and said, "This official knows that I am in the wrong. But as long as Your Majesty is willing to cancel the engagement, this official is willing to accept any punishment. Your Majesty, please have mercy!"
Lin Zhan's whole body trembled. He gritted his teeth and endured. With Long Yin present, he knew that his best choice was to keep silent. His Lin family had deliberately spread the news of the engagement to everyone. But he didn't expect that Hua Zhentian would still propose to cancel the engagement without any hesitation. No matter what the result was today. It was equivalent to a heavy blow to his Lin family's head.
"Then aijia ask you, which family's young master Shinji likes!" Lin Xiu said in a deep voice.
"It's the Ye Family Prince!" Hua Zhentian said bluntly, "They have long been in love with each other. Although this official knows that I have let down Your Majesty and the Lin family, this official only has this one daughter. I can't bear to separate her from the person she likes. So … … "
"Then you have the heart to let us be a person who goes back on his word?" Long Yin said angrily.
"No! This official doesn't have such a thought. Everything started because of this official. When it comes to going back on his word, only this official is guilty. This official sincerely asks Your Majesty to have mercy. This official will be deeply grateful and will forever remember Your Majesty's kindness! "
"You don't need to say anymore." Long Yin suddenly waved his hand. His tone also softened, "The Yeh family's Wu Chen is indeed talented and rare in the world. It's normal for Shinji to fall in love with him. But this matter is Shinji's fault. She knew that she already had an engagement, but she still gave her heart to someone else. This is something she shouldn't have done. If today's engagement is canceled, Shinji's reputation will be ruined! Our reputation will be ruined! You, Hua Zhentian's reputation will be ruined. The Lin family will also be humiliated. We absolutely won't allow it! "
"This official … … begs Your Majesty to have mercy!" Hua Zhentian knelt in front of Long Yin with a "putong" sound. His voice was still like iron, not wavering in the slightest.
"You!" Long Yin pointed at him angrily. He was so angry that he couldn't say anything.
