There were many people present. Because Emperor Chengde arrived, everyone from the Liu family came out to meet him.
Aunt He and Liu Huiyan are also here.
Mother and daughter arrived late. At first, they only knew that Zhou Mu came to propose marriage to Gu Xiyan, but Zhou Xing wanted to take Gu Xiyan as his concubine, so the two sides started fighting.
Unexpectedly that they were watching Gu Xiyan's joke, Emperor Chengde actually granted marriage to Zhou Mu and Gu Xiyan on the spot.
As soon as His Majesty's golden words and decree of marriage came out, the marriage was sealed.
Liu Huiyan was particularly jealous of Gu Xiyan at the moment, but she remembered that her aunt had said that if Gu Xiyan really married Zhou Mu, she would beg the old lady to let her serve Zhou Mu together.
She feels that she will move towards this goal next.
As soon as Emperor Chengde granted the marriage, Zhou Mu took Gu Xiyan and knelt down to express his gratitude.
Emperor Cheng De stepped forward to help the two of them up. The more he looked at them, the more he liked them. With their appearance and temperament, they were truly a pair made in heaven.
Because of his love for Wujiwu, Emperor Chengde fell in love with Gu Xiyan more and more, and chatted with her about daily life.
Zhou Xing watched this scene from a distance, feeling uncomfortable in his heart.
He was severely punished by his father in front of so many people, but his father granted marriage to Zhou Mu and Gu Xiyan and was so kind.
Although he was the most favored among all the princes, he had never seen such a kind side of Emperor Chengde.
"Zhao De, please find out for me, where does this person named Zhou come from, and why does my father treat him so kindly?" Zhou Xing said to Zhao De.
The most incredible thing is that the father suddenly arrived at the Marquis Mansion, as if he was invited by Qi Zhiyuan.
Who is Zhou Mu who can easily ask his father to leave the palace?
Zhao De responded in a low voice.
Not to mention that Zhou Xing felt something was unusual, the other Liu family members also felt something was wrong.
This was the king of the Jin Dynasty. He was usually aloof, but today he was humbled and invited to the Marquis Mansion by Qi Zhiyuan. It didn't matter, in order to support Gu Xiyan and Zhou Mu, he punished Zhou Xing severely.
Looking at the loving eyes that Emperor Cheng De looked at Zhou Mu, those who didn't know it thought Zhou Mu was Emperor Cheng De's lost biological son.
The old lady looked at Wan Qinghou, hoping that Wan Qinghou could give her some hints, but Wan Qinghou was careful around Emperor Cheng De and had no time to look at her eyebrows.
Emperor Cheng De saw the bucket in Mingyuan's hand and decided to let Gu Xiyan and Zhou Mu make fortune predictions on the spot.
"Let's do this, let Xi Yan come and draw a lot." Emperor Cheng De had a sudden idea.
Zimo has suffered a lot in the past, and he hopes that this child will be able to prosper.
He was satisfied with Gu Yatou. After all, she was the only woman who could make Zi Mo care about her. He thought highly of this girl because she could let Zi Mo step into the world of mortals.
"Your Majesty, should I come as a humble minister?" Zhou Mu was afraid that Gu Xiyan would be under pressure.
What's more, there are so many Liu family members at the scene. If the lottery is accidentally drawn, wouldn't Gu Xiyan be charged again?
"Xi Yan, are you willing to give it a try?"
Emperor Cheng De didn't embarrass Gu Xiyan, he just felt that Gu Xiyan was very capable and could make Zi Mo care so much, so he also wanted to see how her luck was.
"Young girl, try it. Can you ask for a signature if you're not in front of the Buddha?" Gu Xiyan didn't shirk.
In fact, she also wants to know what kind of lottery she will get.
She knew that most people in the Liu family wanted to see her jokes. Today, Zhou Mu came to the Hou Mansion with great fanfare to propose marriage to her. Zhou Xing had caused a scene before. Now everyone wants to see her jokes, right?
His Majesty asked her to draw lots. If she was afraid and refused to do so, these people might accuse her of being cowardly and incompetent and not worthy of Zhou Mu if they knew Zhou Mu's true identity in the future.
Anyway, the worst thing is to draw lots, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
She has come through rumors and is not afraid of them. The most important thing is that she is not afraid of trouble.
Ming Yuan Congshan Ruliu: "The Buddha is in my heart, and a girl is sincere, so she can ask for a fortune no matter where she is."
"Otherwise, I'll draw lots with you." Zhou Mu didn't want Gu Xiyan to bear the pressure alone.
Gu Xiyan smiled back at him: "It's better for me to do it. The young master will give me some good luck."
Seeing her persistence, Zhou Mu stood quietly behind her.
Even if she asks for the worst signature, he will always be there to support her.
His intuition told him that she could find a good sign for their marriage this time.
Under the gaze of everyone, Gu Xiyan closed her eyes and signed a signature.
Mingyuan stepped forward to pick it up, and then opened his eyes in surprise.
Emperor Chengde curiously took a look at the signature, and then said with a happy face: "'As you go further into the courtyard, you will get more spring scenery.' It's wonderful, it's the signature!!"
Mingyuan echoed from the side: "Miss Gu's luck is really amazing. Among the hundred lots, only one was chosen first-class, and it was actually drawn by Miss Gu. The meaning of this lot is clear, take one step forward, and spring will come."
"Tianfen" means full of hope. Even God is optimistic about this marriage."
"Okay, okay!" Emperor Cheng De said with joy, "You can match the birth dates of the two of them again."
At this time, the old lady handed Gu Xiyan's birth date to Mingyuan, and Mingyuan already had Zhou Mu's birth date in his hand.
After seeing their birth dates clearly, Mingyuan exclaimed again: "Miss Gu and Zi Mo were born on the same day, same month, and the same time. How can such horoscopes be inconsistent?"
Zhou Mu was surprised when he heard this.
He stepped forward to receive Gu Xiyan's birth date and found that Gu Xiyan was also born on the third day of March, just like him.
Wan Qinghou answered from the side: "Not only that, Sister Xi's name is similar to Master Zhou's name."
Emperor Chengde praised the case and exclaimed: "How wonderful. Gu Yatou's name has the character 'Xi', and her son's name is inexplicably 'Twilight'. Even their names are a match made in heaven!"
The emperor laughed non-stop, and of course everyone laughed and agreed. The old lady also laughed with her, grinning from ear to ear.
Zhou Xing saw this scene from a distance, his face gloomy.
Liu Chaoyan felt uncomfortable, but if Emperor Cheng De said "yes", how could others say otherwise?
She gently tugged on Zhou Xing's sleeve, signaling Zhou Xing to be patient and not to displease Emperor Cheng De again.
Zhou Xing's heart felt like it was being roasted on a fire.
It was obvious that he had backed off Gu Xiyan's marriage, but now that he saw her falling into the arms of another man, his heart was burning, and he wished he could crush Zhou Mu to ashes!
There was laughter and laughter in Kuanhe Hall, but Zhou Xing didn’t want to watch anymore.
He quietly exited Kuanhe Hall and was about to leave the Hou Mansion when Liu Chaoyan chased him and blocked his way: "Brother A Xing is leaving now?"
Zhou Xing looked at Liu Chaoyan's smiling eyes, and his depressed mood did not improve at all.
In the past, he liked Liu Chaoyan the most because she could bring him joy, but he didn't like Gu Xiyan who always made him depressed.
What really made him withdraw from Gu Xiyan's marriage was that Gu Xiyan had no sense of presence in Wanqinghou Mansion. If he married such a woman, it would not be helpful to his imperial hegemony.
It wasn't that he didn't like Gu Xiyan, but he thought that his liking for Gu Xiyan was getting weaker and weaker. Later, he thought that he liked Liu Chaoyan more than Gu Xiyan.
But now he found that he could not tolerate Gu Xiyan marrying another man, which was tantamount to stabbing him in the heart.
