Chapter 292 After all, it is your own engagement

The day Ji Lingxiu woke up happened to be the morning of Zhaozhao's coming-of-age ceremony. Zhaozhao was pressed on the chair by Danxia to put on makeup with a sad face, still worried about Ji Lingxiu's condition.

Unexpectedly, the little eunuch came over to announce the good news with a smile: "Princess, please go and have a look. Just now, the prince of Liuyun has his own destiny and has completely woken up!"

Zhaozhao's eyes lit up and tears of excitement filled his eyes. He confirmed with the little eunuch several times, and then before Danxia could react, he had already picked up her skirt and ran out.

Danxia chased after her: "Princess, the hairpin on your head is for today's coming-of-age ceremony. Be sure not to break it. Princess... don't break the skirt by stepping on it, otherwise you will be laughed at."

Zhaozhao completely turned a deaf ear to it, all she thought about was that her eldest brother had woken up and could attend her coming-of-age ceremony as promised.

Just halfway through, Zhao Zhao saw a familiar figure. Ji Lingxiu smiled and opened his arms towards her. Zhao Zhao immediately jumped in and hugged him tightly. Ji Lingxiu dodged back and had not yet fully recovered.

He laughed and pulled at his wound. Although it hurt a little, it still didn't hinder his happiness.Ji Lingxiu scratched her little nose: "Okay, honey, go get dressed quickly. My brother is waiting for your coming-of-age ceremony. He will give you a surprise later."

Zhao Zhao looked him up and down before finally confirming: "You won't disappear suddenly, and you won't encounter any danger again, right?"

Ji Lingxiu suddenly felt a pain in his heart. He thought that as long as he was injured for the child, even if he died, it would be worth it.But he didn't expect Zhaozhao to be so sad. He had to live well and not let himself get hurt again, not only for Zhaozhao but also for himself.

When the coming-of-age ceremony opened, everyone saw a flash of light. Zhao Zhao, dressed in luxurious clothes, walked up the steps one by one. Gu Rongzhan stood at the top and looked at her with a smile, showing a pleased smile.

When Zhao Zhao reached the top, Gu Rongzhan crowned her in person, with a look of joy as if she had grown up: "Zhao Zhao has grown so big in a blink of an eye. It seems that I am really old. But when I get old, I will Now that I am old, I am happy to see Zhao Zhao so beautiful."

Before the eunuch next to him could flatter him, Zhao Zhao said with a smile: "Dad is not old. He is so young and is obviously in his prime. You and uncle are the same. You are still the same as before, or even more mature than then."

Gu Rongzhan touched her head, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.The banquet had just begun, with singing and dancing, and the ministers were politely toasting each other. Before they could take down their chopsticks to eat, they saw Ji Lingxiu standing in front of the main hall.

Ji Lingxiu was not alone. There were many Liuyun's ministers behind him. Xu Luo also stood among them, making faces at Zhaozhao.Zhao Zhao pouted and looked away from him, focusing on Ji Lingxiu.

Gu Rongzhan raised his eyebrows and looked at him with interest: "Prince Liuyun, what does this mean? These things...are all used to celebrate our Xiaoliu's coming-of-age ceremony?"

"It's just that with such specifications, it would be too expensive to put on a coming-of-age ceremony. What's more, there are real estate and land deeds. These things are worthless and unpaid, so you should take them back. I feel sorry for Zhaozhao."

Ji Lingxiu still stood and looked at Zhao Zhao affectionately: "Your Majesty, these things are my betrothal gift to the sixth princess. I wonder if your Majesty thinks there are some missing? These are the things I have spent between Liuyun and Xingyue over the years. , all the belongings." "If Your Majesty feels that it is not enough, then I will start to buy more, and I will not wrong Her Majesty the Princess. I just ask Your Majesty to speak, the Princess and I have long been in love, please betroth her to me, if you can It is my blessing to have her in my three lifetimes."

Gu Rongzhan narrowed his eyes and sneered in his heart, this little bastard!My own Zhaozhao has just come of age today, and people are starting to care about her, and they have directly engaged her, which is not a small tone.

The other brothers also had serious faces, and one by one they started to stop Ji Lingxiu from taking Zhao Zhao away.Seeing that his brothers disagreed, Zhao Zhao anxiously pulled Gu Rongzhan's sleeve and whispered: "Dad, please speak quickly. Don't keep big brother waiting. I am willing."

Gu Rongzhan wanted to refuse outright, but he remembered that Zhao Zhao had reached the age of marriage, and Ji Lingxiu had entered the astrology building with Zhao Zhao before, and almost cost his own life for Zhao Zhao several times.

He was indeed sincere enough, and Zhao Zhao was devoted to him. In order to treat his illness, he was able to do so many things that surprised Gu Rongzhan. Their relationship was indeed a two-way street.

However, if you want to marry the most noble princess of their Star-Moon Kingdom, how can you do it with a few words and a pile of gold and silver jewelry?He has to make things difficult.

Otherwise, what if he goes to Liuyun, or three or five years later, and he no longer cherishes Zhaozhao?
Thinking of this, Gu Rongzhan said calmly: "Marriage has been ordered by parents since ancient times. According to matchmakers, how can you decide your own marriage at such a young age?"

"Besides, you are the prince of Liuyun. If you want to get engaged, you will naturally know that the emperor is your Majesty. Otherwise, if he does not agree to the marriage or has already found another good match for you, wouldn't this make us Zhaozhao a laughing stock? ?”

Ji Lingxiu glanced at him meaningfully, and then heard the little eunuch at the door shout: "Emperor Liuyun has arrived."

All the courtiers, including the princes, were stunned. They didn't expect Emperor Liuyun to actually come over, and actually go there in person just for such a trivial matter as his son.

It's just that the two sides just fought an unpleasant battle before, and now the courtiers are all angry. Seeing that Ji Lingxiu really wants to marry Zhao Zhao, they all come out to see him.

"Your Majesty, think twice before you act. I have some prejudices in my mind. This princess is the apple of your eye. If you marry Liuyun far away, you might be wronged. Moreover, Liuyun and our Xingyue just fought a battle. Now the common people Conv Liuyun’s teeth are itching.”

"If the princess marries Liu Yun's prince at this time, or takes the initiative to marry him, it will definitely damage the Xingyue Court's prestige among the people, and it will also be bad for the princess's reputation, so please take the overall situation into consideration, princess."

At the last word, all the courtiers knelt down and begged Zhaozhao to refuse the marriage.Zhao Zhao was stunned, looking at everyone kneeling on the ground, as if she had done something heinous, and looked at Gu Rongzhan with aggrieved heart.

Gu Rongzhan touched her back and comforted her softly: "Don't worry about anyone else's thoughts. You can tell me whatever you think. After all, it is your own marriage contract. I still want you to make your own decisions."
