480. Chapter 480 She is a woman worthy of my liking
"It's going to rain red. If I didn't know that Aiqing never talks wildly, I would not believe that Xiu'er wants to take part in the imperial examination. He is so courageous and unwilling to rely on royal connections, which is really admirable.
Well, with such integrity and talent, our country should not miss him. I will wait for him to go to high school."
Long Hong was very happy.
No matter why Ouyang Xiu changed his mind to join the court as an official, it should be a blessing to the Huang Kingdom. Based on the Taiwei Mansion's always being loyal to the Huang Kingdom, he should not have any doubts.
…
Taiwei Mansion.
Ouyang Tao informed Ouyang Xiu of the emperor's decision.
Ouyang Xiu heard this and smiled, "No, actually I had already expected that the emperor would not agree to my marriage to Lian'er."
"Then why do you still let grandpa have the shame to ask the emperor for marriage?"
Ouyang Tao looked unhappy.
"Grandpa, this is a declaration. I like Lian'er and want to marry her. I can't do it secretly. I don't care what other people think. I proposed marriage to Zuo Xiangfu and expressed my intention to the emperor.
That's enough."
"What about her? Is she willing to marry you? You don't even know how you died in such a head-on collision."
Ouyang Tao was extremely worried about his grandson.
That Dongfang Lian is not a simple character.
She was by no means an easy woman to treat, and he even suspected that Dongfang Lian was taking advantage of Ouyang Xiu.
"Of course Lian'er agreed. We...we are in love. She is willing to marry me, so grandpa doesn't need to worry." Ouyang Xiu actually knew some of Ouyang Tao's thoughts.
I don't blame grandpa, after all, Lian'er... no one now thinks she is just an ordinary lady.
"She has been entangled with His Majesty Seventh Prince for a long time. Xiu'er, do you have any idea about this?"
Ouyang Tao became angrier the more he thought about it.
The future granddaughter-in-law of his Taiwei Mansion must be innocent.
There were unpleasant rumors about Dongfang Lian before. Although they were quickly covered up by Long Jingkuang's concubine selection incident, those rumors were probably not groundless.
Let’s not talk about being kidnapped by assassins. She has been dating Long Qijin for a long time. Is this innocent person... still there? The Ouyang family cannot afford to lose this person.
Ouyang Tao agreed to go to the palace to request a decree. In fact, he expected that Long Hong would not agree to the marriage, so he complied with Ouyang Xiu's request and entered the palace.
Sure enough, Long Hong disagreed.
"Lian'er is a good woman. Xiu'er likes her, and Xiu'er believes that she is a woman worthy of my liking."
Ouyang Xiu believes in Dongfang Lian very much. He trusts her and will not mess around.
…
Seventh Prince's Mansion.
Long Qijin was so angry that he smashed everything in Tao Ranju's house. Originally, today was the day when he would go to the Duke of Zhen's Mansion to propose marriage with his betrothal gift, but after hearing that Ouyang Xiu went to Zuo Xiang's Mansion to propose marriage, he was in no mood to deal with it.
Murong Luozi’s marriage is over.
Oriental love!
Okay, you are ruthless! You have the means!
"Your Highness, everything has been prepared. We can leave for the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion at any time."
Qi Ping has urged him three times, once in the morning and once at noon, and now it is afternoon.
Going to propose marriage in the afternoon is a bit inappropriate.
But he was afraid that if he didn't go today, His Highness would change his mind again.
His Highness is always undecided about this marriage.
"That's all."
Long Qijin waved his hand.
"Not going, Your Highness?" Qi Ping knew. Long Qijin must have been influenced by Dongfang Lian and Ouyang Xiu.
