Chapter 240: Sincerity is like the moon, it cannot be covered by dust
At this time, Jun Jiuchen, who was in a rare good mood because Helian Qi handed over the Hetao area, suddenly heard Su Jinyue's words, and the rare joy in his eyes and eyebrows disappeared in an instant.
He could understand why Su Jinyue had to use him as a shield in order to protect her own sister.
But Song Yi had already smoothed over the matter, and he also took into consideration her and His Majesty's reputation and did not point it out. But she took the initiative again and wanted to grant him a marriage...
But after all, he was the one who helped the young emperor ascend to the throne. In front of so many people, he still gave Su Jinyue some face and spoke with a somewhat distant tone.
"I understand what the Queen Mother means."
"It's just that Miss Su is a kind-hearted lady, and I am a warrior with a rough temperament. I am afraid that I might neglect Miss Su and thus disappoint the Queen Mother's kindness."
After these words were spoken, Su Ling'er, who had been looking forward to her elder sister's sudden words, clenched the handkerchief in her hand again.
Didn’t the elder sister say…
The Regent also has some feelings for her, so he will definitely not refuse this marriage, right?
How could...
At this time, Su Jinyue's voice sounded again.
"Your Majesty the Regent is too modest. You are the pillar of the country. It is no exaggeration to say that you and Ling'er are a match made in heaven."
"If Ling'er can marry into the Prince Regent's Palace, and see you two living happily ever after, then your majesty and I will be relieved."
Seeing that Su Jinyue seemed not to understand his refusal and instead had a hint of coercion in her words, Jun Jiuchen couldn't help but frown slightly, and the alienation in his tone became more obvious.
"Thank you for your kindness, Queen Mother. However, I already have someone I love, so I will not delay Miss Su's life."
How could he not understand that Su Jinyue was uneasy and wanted to use Su Ling'er to tie him to them?
He understands the principle that it is lonely at the top, and he also knows how to write the word "fear".
can.
No one can interfere with his marriage.
Even if he just married a vase and placed it in the Regent's Palace, it would not be acceptable.
Because he would never allow her to suffer any injustice in the future because of those so-called casual affairs in the harem.
So in this matter, he will not leave any room for others.
Even Su Jinyue can't do it.
Seeing Jun Jiuchen refuse again, Su Jinyue couldn't help but frown and felt a little annoyed.
But immediately, she seemed to have thought of something, glanced at the woman behind Song Yi, and then continued speaking.
"The person the Regent mentioned as his favorite must be Miss Jiang. If so, the Regent can rest assured."
"Ling'er is a pure person, and she is also tolerant. If the Prince Regent wants to take a concubine, that's fine. I won't interfere too much in the Prince Regent's affairs just because Ling'er is my sister. The Prince Regent doesn't need to worry too much about this."
Although she didn't expect Jun Jiuchen to value Miss Jiang so much, since she had made such a promise, Jun Jiuchen should be able to rest assured.
After all, for a woman of that status, marrying into the Regent's Palace, even as a concubine, would be considered an honor.
How can I be a wife?
Seeing that he had made his words so clear, but Su Jinyue still insisted on the matter, especially using the word "concubine" to describe Song Wan as a matter of course, Jun Jiuchen suddenly lost his patience to deal with Su Jinyue.
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. It is true that the person I am attracted to is Miss Jiang, but I do not want to take her as a concubine."
"This time, I left the capital to rescue Prime Minister Song. The situation was dire, and it was only thanks to Miss Jiang that I was able to save my life. Therefore, I have promised her the position of Regent Princess. This matter cannot be changed!"
"Since the Queen Mother is willing to arrange a marriage for me, why not take advantage of today to arrange a marriage between me and Miss Jiang?"
Although he said so, Jun Jiuchen did not wait for Su Jinyue to respond, but directly shifted his gaze to Song Wan and spoke in a firm tone.
"Jiang Wanqiao, come out and thank me."
Meeting her father's gaze, Song Wan, with mixed emotions, was also surprised when she heard Jun Jiuchen's words.
Marriage?
This guy... really doesn't play by the rules. At this moment, he's so disrespectful to the Queen Mother. Isn't he really afraid of a falling out with her? Prince Huai is still watching closely from the sidelines...
Even though she didn't want to see her marry another woman, she also knew how to judge the situation.
Even if he agrees first and then works on it slowly, that's also... not impossible.
How could she really be angry with him because of these things?
However, seeing Jun Jiuchen choose himself so firmly, it would be a lie to say that I was not moved at all.
He is...
Don't want to let yourself suffer any injustice, even if the misunderstanding has not been resolved.
Song Wan once again realized that in the past that she had forgotten, his feelings for her might be even deeper than she had imagined.
and……
If he is not afraid, what is she afraid of?
After dying once, no one understands better than her that in this world, only sincerity should not be betrayed.
Thinking of this, Song Wan walked out without hesitation.
Kneeling in the hall, his tone was firm.
"I have long been in love with the Regent. Even though our social status is very different, my true love is as bright as the moon, and I dare not refuse. I am willing to entrust my life to you. I will accept the three letters and six ceremonies from the Regent and bear witness to your golden alliance with my humble self."
"Please grant me your blessing, Queen Mother!"
Jun Jiuchen listened to the words "Sincerity is like the moon, which cannot be covered by dust" and "I am willing to entrust my life to you". He lowered his eyes to look at Song Wanshi who was kneeling very upright in the hall. His originally indifferent eyes suddenly darkened, like the moon reflected in a cold pond, or like fire burning in the abyss.
He actually... didn't want her to be too proud.
The reason he proposed to her today was because he didn't want to have any more troubles in his life, so he made a sudden decision and wanted to completely put an end to Su Jinyue's thoughts on her.
He also knew that she would not refuse.
But when he really saw her kneeling in the hall and saying these words, the joy in his heart came so directly and swiftly that even he himself had not expected it.
he thinks.
Maybe I owed her something in my previous life.
Even if you are hurt completely...
Still enjoy it.
