Chapter 257 I Can Catch Your Eyes
Huangfu Ji saw this and quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, my son's marriage has always been decided by him."
Although his tone was polite, his determination was obvious.
Emperor Qi obviously did not expect Huangfu Ji to refuse so directly. His expression changed slightly, revealing a hint of embarrassment.
However, he did not give up easily and continued, "Since ancient times, marriages have been arranged by matchmakers and parents. Wouldn't you consider this, Sect Master?"
Huangfu Ji sneered in his heart, of course he knew what Emperor Qi meant.
This marriage was just a means for Emperor Qi to win over the Lianlan Clan.
He didn't want Huangfu Yi to be involved in the royal power struggle, and he didn't want Lianlanmen to be implicated.
Dongfang Ti listened and couldn't help feeling a little unhappy, but he knew very well that this matter still needed to be resolved by Huangfu Yi.
If Huangfu Yi cannot handle this matter properly, then his relationship with Mo'er may not be able to continue.
At this moment, Huangfu Yi suddenly clasped his fists and said to Emperor Qi: "Your Majesty, this young master already has someone he likes in his heart. Please help him."
Upon hearing this, Huangfu Ji looked at Huangfu Yi in surprise. He had never heard Huangfu Yi mention this matter before.
Dongfang Ti was also surprised. He had thought Huangfu Yi would be more tactful, but he didn't expect him to be so direct.
However, a feeling of relief welled up in Dongfang Ti's heart.
He knew that Huangfu Yi was a responsible man. Since he had expressed his intentions, he would surely take responsibility for this matter to the end.
In this way, Mo'er will not be wronged by following him.
Emperor Qi's expression changed slightly. He was obviously a little surprised by Huangfu Yi's answer.
After a moment's silence, he asked, "Oh? I wonder which family this girl is from to catch your eye?"
Huangfu Yi said firmly: "Your Majesty, it is Dongfang Qingmo, the niece of Dongfang Strategist."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
Emperor Qi frowned and looked back and forth between Huangfu Yi and Dongfang Ti, as if weighing the pros and cons.
Dongfang Ti was delighted. He didn't expect that Huangfu Yi would express his feelings for Mo'er so directly.
"Dongfang Qingmo?" Emperor Qi spoke slowly, "Why have I never heard Dongfang Strategist mention him?"
Emperor Qi was a little uneasy. Could it be that the person Jiahe was looking for trouble with was Dongfang Qingmo?
If Dongfang Ti knew that he was involved in this, wouldn't he stop working for Qi Zhou?!
Dongfang Ti quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Mo'er is my brother's legitimate daughter. They have been attracted to each other for a long time. I hope Your Majesty will grant their blessing."
Emperor Qi nodded slightly. Although he was somewhat unhappy that this good thing did not happen to the royal woman, it was not a good idea to forcibly separate the lovers. After all, Lianlan Sect and Dongfang Family were both important supporters of Qi Zhou State.
"In that case, I will help you two lovers to be together." Emperor Qi's voice echoed in the hall, with a hint of helplessness and compromise.
Having said that, if he continues to match people up at random, it would seem that he is being unreasonable.
Huangfu Yi: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help!"
Emperor Qi smiled slightly and said, "However, Sect Master Huangfu, Lianlan Sect will still need to serve Qi Zhou Kingdom more in the future."
Although this sentence is said lightly, its meaning is self-evident.
Huangfu Ji quickly nodded and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. Lianlan Sect will do its best."
After saying all this, they asked to leave again.
