C58 Denial of marriage

Master Zong took the opportunity to say: "Golden Man is so cruel, you must definitely not fall into their trap again."

The Ninth Prince looked around, and then sat down, and said loudly: "We will set out tomorrow to gather with the various Master of King Ching, and discuss the plan to expel gold soldier!"

Everyone was overjoyed, immediately kneeling down to receive the order: "Understood! We vow to follow His Highness left and right, expel the gold soldier and revive him. "

Seeing that Yue Pengju's injuries were not serious, and knowing that he was not weak, Ninth Prince thought for a bit before saying: "Yue Pengju, lead a team to meet up with Wing Wang's Chuan Shan Army, we will set off tomorrow."

It is the duty of a soldier to go to war. Obtaining the chance to activate it once again, Yue Pengju was overjoyed: "Understood."

He looked at Hua Rong and saw that Hua Rong was also looking at him. He was also happy that he was able to regain his chance. Hua Rong's heart skipped a beat, she looked at him and immediately understood that Hua Rong wanted to fight the battle with him. He nodded her head and was about to ask for her orders, when she heard the concern of the Ninth Prince: "Pengju, are your injuries serious?"

"No problem."

"Very good. Yue Pengju, you have faithfully protected your master and rewarded him with a hundred taels of gold. In addition, Princess Wan Wan was saved by you, and it was only because of you that she was able to escape danger safely. Now that her country was ruined and she had nowhere to go, Wan Wan decided to betroth Wan Wan to you and bestow upon you a house on the west side of the city as your bridal chamber. When the war slows down a bit, this king will personally take care of you two. You can rest assured that the lead will go out to battle, and Wan Wan will stay in the Zhizhou Prefecture … "

As if lightning struck on a sunny day, Hua Rong stood at the side and was momentarily stunned.

Yue Pengju panicked to the point that he did not know what to say, and could only wave his hands, "Your Highness, you absolutely cannot …"

Ninth Prince was surprised. "Why not?"

"The gold soldier has not been destroyed, I dare not go back, I cannot marry Wan Wan!"

When the people watching the Ninth Prince felt such appreciation to Yue Pengju, they were all envious, it was clear that Yue Pengju had done a great service in saving them. Seeing him decline, the Master Zong thought that he was being modest and naturally viewed him as his disciple. He was very happy for him and immediately said: "Pengju, your highness has given you his love, you don't need to refuse …"

Yue Pengju was sweating profusely: "Your highness has redeemed me, this lowly one does not dare to marry Princess …"

Ninth Prince saw that he had firmly rejected his proposal and asked curiously: "You're already married?"

"Never."

"Parents disapprove?"

"My parents are dead."

"Then why reject? Could it be the Princess who despises running away? "

"I dare not. However, this lowly one cannot marry Princess … "

Ninth Prince's gaze turned towards Hua Rong and smiled: "Marriage naturally pays close attention to parents' orders and the words of the matchmaker. Since Yue Pengju doesn't have a parents, then elder sister will be his mother. Hua Rong, you can help your brother out with this, what do you say? "

Elder sister was the mother!

Hua Rong was so shocked that she could not recover from her shock. Her mind was buzzing, she did not know whether this affair of climbing the ranks of dragons and following phoenixes was a good or bad thing for Yue Pengju.

She frantically rolled her eyes and saw that the people around her were filled with envy. She herself had been separated from them for many years, so she did not know how to deal with such worldly matters.

Seeing that she had been questioned to the point of panic, Yue Pengju couldn't help but to open his mouth to answer for her. He only heard her say slowly: "Pengju is not my biological brother, I don't dare call myself 'elder sister'. I can't interfere. "

Ninth Prince laughed: "Alright! Yue Pengju, since your sister does not object, this matter shall be settled. Don't worry and go to the battlefield, your family will be taken care of by others … "

Yue Pengju's forehead was dripping with sweat. "Ninth Prince, please forgive me, I definitely cannot marry Princess …"

Master Zong was very impatient. This Yue Pengju, he truly did not know what was good for him and pushed the rewards that he sent to his doorstep. He had always admired Yue Pengju, so he wanted to keep this marriage for him. He said loudly: "Yue Pengju, at this critical moment, there is no need to decline. Ninth Prince truly loves you from the bottom of his heart, and I also have a relationship with you as a teacher and a student. "Wait for the war to slow down a bit, then choose another auspicious day to marry you …"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, how could Yue Pengju say anything? His gaze could not help but look towards Hua Rong, only to see her quietly retreating to the side. Under the candlelight, his facial expression could not be seen.

"Alright, it's settled then. It's not early yet. Please take a break and set off tomorrow. Yue Pengju is injured, recuperate for a day, and set off the next day. "

"Yes."

This was the bedroom of the lord of the region, and was temporarily arranged for Wan Wan to use. Wan Wan hugged a thick blanket as she sat down by the fire, looking at the door uneasily.

After a long while, Lee's opened the curtain and entered. His face was full of joy as he said jubilantly: "Young miss, I just heard some good news."

"What good news would there be in this chaos?"

"Ninth Prince ordered for you to be betrothed to Young Master Yue."

Wan Wan said in shock, "Really? What did Young Master Yue say? "

"Naturally, Young Master Yue will decline a few words …"

Wan Wan blushed: "Why did he decline?"

"young people is thin skinned, but he quickly accepted it. Young miss is talented, Young Master Yue obviously likes it too late." The Lee's saw that Wan Wan was silent, and thought that she was being too petty, and advised: "If it was an era of peace, young miss could marry someone even better. But now that war is breaking out and things are unstable, we need the protection of a man with great abilities like Young Master Yue to be reliable. Moreover, the Young Master Yue was talented and reliable, even a first-rate young master would not be able to compare to him. At this moment, he felt a chill run down his spine. If he was promoted by the prince in the future, how could he be afraid that he wouldn't be able to advance to the next level? "Miss, you should suffer first …"

Wan Wan shook her head, her face red: "It's not a grievance, the first time I met Big Brother Yue, I liked him a lot …"

The Lee's was overjoyed: "Now, young miss has found fortune in her life, it can be considered great fortune in the midst of misfortune."

"milkmaid, Big Brother Yue is going to battle the day after tomorrow?"

"Yeah."

"I want to see him."

"We'll go tomorrow then. It's the middle of the night and he's injured. He went to rest a long time ago …"

"It's because he's injured that I have to go take a look …"

"You're right …" Lee's laughed, "Miss, I'm confused. It used to be Young Master Yue, but now it's Young Master. Young Master is injured, Miss should go and take a look."

"milkmaid, you're laughing at me again."

There was a brazier in the living room, crackling from time to time.

Hua Rong and Yue Pengju sat next to the brazier and for a while, didn't know what to say. Thick bandages were wrapped around his arms and chest. Hua Rong asked in a low voice, "Pengju, does it still hurt?"

He shook his head.

After a long while, Hua Rong raised her head and saw that he had been looking at her the entire time. She smiled, wanting to congratulate him, but when the words reached her mouth, she was unable to say it. All kinds of feelings intertwined, yet she couldn't say anything.

"Elder sister …"

"Peng Ju!" She steadied her heart. Since her brother had grown up, it was time for them to start a family, wasn't it? However, why did his heart ache so badly when he saw him marry someone else?

She forced a smile and said, "You're injured, go rest early. You're about to go to war the day after tomorrow."

Yue Pengju did not make a sound.

The two of them did not mention the matter of Ninth Prince bestowing the marriage on them. Hua Rong had intentionally avoided the topic, but Yue Pengju did not know what to say.

Outside, there was a knock on the door, followed by a crisp voice, "Big Brother Yue …"

The door was pushed open as a cold wind blew. Wan Wan was dressed in a snow-white fur coat, with snow-white skin and beautiful features, like a fairy. Lee's followed behind her with a smile on her face.

"Big Brother Yue, flower sister, you are all here …"

"Yes."

Hua Rong forced a laugh as she replied, and saw that Wan Wan had already sat down beside Yue Pengju: "Big Brother Yue, are you injured? Is it serious? Does it hurt? "

Her tone was intimate and she held a bag of stuff in her hand, "This is a midnight snack prepared by Zhizhou Prefecture's chef, it doesn't taste good. In the future, I will personally make it for you. Big Brother Yue, are you hungry? "Hurry up and eat some …"

The Lee's also said: "Young Master, try it, the young miss specially brought it for you …"

Young Master?

When Hua Rong heard it, she was extremely ear-piercing. She was stunned for a moment before realizing that Pengju was indeed her "Young Master".

She inadvertently looked at Yue Pengju, only to see him blushing red as he shook his head: "No need, I'm not hungry. You can go back first. "

"Big Brother Yue, I'll stay here tonight to take care of you …"

"Young Master, you need to eat more and get well as soon as possible." In the future, with your protection and care, old body will be at ease … "

Because he was bestowed marriage, it was perfectly justified!

Hua Rong could not watch any longer. She felt dizzy and anxious to leave this place.

"Pengju, I'm tired. I need to rest first."

"Elder sister …"

When Wan Wan heard Yue Pengju call her, he turned her head and smiled sweetly: "Elder sister, you've worked hard. I'll take care of Big Brother Yue tonight, go rest …"

"Alright, I'll leave Pengju to you guys. I'm leaving. "

She turned around and left. Yue Pengju stood up, "Elder sister …"

She walked out of the room without even turning her head around. Wan Wan looked at Yue Pengju unexpectedly: "Big Brother Yue, flower sister is tired.

Yue Pengju watched as Hua Rong's back figure disappeared before turning around, "I still have some matters to attend to, so it's inconvenient to stay here. Princess, you guys can go back first."

"Big Brother Yue, why is it called Princess? "It's better to just call me 'Wan Wan' …"

"That's right, Young Master, you used to be called 'Wan Wan', but now you say 'Wan Wan' instead?"

"I don't dare!" At that time, I did not know of the identity of the Princess. Princess, please go back. "

Seeing his cold attitude, Wan Wan was no longer as polite as she used to be. There seemed to be a sense of rejection in her eyes that made her feel anxious, she was stunned, in the end, he was still a smart girl. Although her heart felt wronged, she immediately pulled on milkmaid, "Let's go first …"

Lee's was shrewd, and he chuckled: "Then we'll come again tomorrow to see Young Master."

"No need, I'm in good health, you don't have to come see me!"

The Lee's did not speak further, he supported Wan Wan and left.

Returning back to the bedroom, Wan Wan frowned and sat on the table. She rested her hands on her cheeks and did not go to sleep.

Lee's came to help her up: "Miss, after travelling for so long, I can finally have a good night's rest. Quickly go rest."

Wan Wan was a little uneasy: "milkmaid, tell me, is Big Brother Yue not willing to marry me?"

Lee's laughed: "Good young miss, you think too much. You are talented and beautiful, the Young Master Yue is happy but does not have enough time. "Besides, this is a marriage arranged by the prince …"

"But why do I feel like he likes flower sister?"

"Nonsense, the Miss Hua is a few years older than him. They are just siblings."

Wan Wan said hesitantly: "They are not siblings, I asked them on the way there. flower sister is only four years older than Big Brother Yue, she looks young, but she looks like she's actually four years younger than Big Brother Yue, maybe …"
