Chapter 493 Counter-Persuasion
Qian Zining's eyes sparkled brightly: "I want to build Qingci Hospital in Haiguo, and I want to travel around Haiguo's scenery. This is what I want to do!"
"Daddy, Mommy, please grant your daughter's wish!"
Madam Qian looked at her daughter. The events of her childhood had made her hold her daughter dear to her heart. Seeing her daughter's determined face, she suddenly felt powerless. "Do you really trust that King Yu?"
Qian Zining said, "Mother, when my daughter was in the most dangerous time of her childhood, he was just an orphan with nothing. Even in that situation, he didn't give up on her! He was beaten and scolded for me time and time again, and even nearly lost his life. Father, Mother, I understand him better than you can imagine!"
Qian Hui's body was numb: "Is there no turning back?"
Qian Hui felt his voice tremble: "Once you leave, you won't be able to see me and your mother anymore...you..."
Qian Zining immediately said, "I will come back! The Hai Nation's envoys travel back and forth between the two countries every year, and I will come back every year! How could I bear not to see you from now on?"
Qian Zining crawled a few steps on her knees and lay on Madam Qian's legs. "Mother, Father, please promise me! I am just going to spread my wings and fly away, but I will not never come back home!"
Perhaps all parents in the world can't persuade their children. Qian Hui seemed exhausted from that day on. He became much more silent, and he always felt that his daughter was affected by the separation of their parents when they were children.
Mrs. Qian accepted the reality faster than him. She became busy, as if she wanted to prepare everything she could think of for her daughter.
At Fengqi Palace, Lan Qingwu sent Madam Qian away. Qian Zining had finally convinced her parents that Madam Qian's visit to Lan Qingwu was a final decision. The next day, Prince Yu would report to Emperor Shenwu to secure their marriage. This was a private matter between the two of them, but it was also a matter of state for both nations.
Lan Qingwu, however, was in a trance and uneasy. She asked Ruping, "Has Xiaoguai been influenced by me? Ever since that incident, she's been coming to the palace frequently. Her words and actions are definitely influenced by me. She's not completely dismissive of marriage, but she doesn't have any expectations either. It's just that she's luckier. She has the love and support of her parents, and she's braver than me. She actually had the courage to break free from the shackles."
Ru Ping thought for a moment and said, "Empress, you are Xiaoguai's confidence. You said that day that you didn't want to stay in Haiguo anymore. You can send someone to pick her up at any time, and she can come back every year. What's the difference between this and marrying outside the imperial city, just a longer journey? You know, there are many people who marry far away in Dasheng and never see their natal family again in their lifetime!"
Lan Qingwu frowned. "What you said reminds me. Mother's health has been getting weaker over the past two years. As she gets older, she has all sorts of minor ailments. I wonder if the herbs I sent last time will be of any use."
Ru Ping also said helplessly: "Your Majesty, you are missing your wife, right?"
"So what if I want to? I can't leave this palace, and my mother can't travel thousands of miles. Compared to this, Xiaoguai is really good! From now on, you can do what you want."
Emperor Shenwu was really surprised by Prince Yu's proposal of marriage. Prince Yu was sincere in his proposal, but Emperor Shenwu was very dissatisfied with Qian's response and certainly did not agree to it. However, his beloved general was still aggrieved and came to meet Emperor Shenwu together with Prince Yu.
Emperor Shenwu understood. He touched his chin and finally understood the truth behind the last fight between the two.
Emperor Shenwu glanced at Qian Hui and said, "It seems that the two of them are in love and finally got married!"
Yu Wang's earlobes were bloodshot, and the veins on Qian Hui's hands were bulging. He really wanted to fight again!
Emperor Shenwu continued, "It's also a childhood bond. I've heard the Queen mention that you two shared joys and sorrows, life and death together. Prince Yu, you haven't married in the Sea Kingdom, and your father hasn't arranged a marriage for you, has he?"
Although it was a marriage, the Emperor Shenwu also had to understand Prince Yu's inner thoughts. He wasn't relying on a noble lady to marry, and Qian Zining was a junior whom the Emperor Shenwu valued. If the two hadn't been in love, the Emperor Shenwu wouldn't have agreed to this marriage.
Prince Yu said sternly, "Your Majesty, no. My father ignored me because of the strange color of my eyes. Before his death, he wanted to arrange my marriage, but unfortunately, his health was already very weak, and he passed away before he could issue the decree. Therefore, I don't have a single concubine in my harem."
Emperor Shenwu nodded, and looking at King Yu's glowing eyes, he knew that he was truly moved.
Emperor Shenwu looked at his ministers again and found that Qian Hui's expression was still not good. Yes, if it was his own daughter, he would be even more upset.
"I will grant you the marriage, General Qian, return home and wait for my order!"
After Qian Hui left, Emperor Shenwu said to Prince Yu, "It seems that Miss Qian's parents don't approve of this marriage!"
