Chapter 327 Han Wen'er Falls in Love with Wu Yu
The emperor stood up and walked to Aunt Liu: "I will get to the bottom of this matter."
Madam Liu kowtowed again: "Your Majesty, I dare not lie. Please believe me."
The emperor waved his hand and asked someone to take Madam Liu away. He stood there, lost in thought.
On the 15th day of the eighth month, the moon was high in the sky, and the palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, making it very lively. On this day, all civil and military officials above the fourth rank entered the palace to attend the palace banquet and celebrate this reunion festival together.
The eldest prince, dressed in gorgeous clothes, came to Yaohua Palace early to pay his respects to the queen.
"Your son pays his respects to your mother." The eldest prince bowed respectfully.
The Queen smiled and nodded: "My son, please don't be polite. The palace is busy today, you can go around."
The eldest prince replied, "Yes, mother, I heard that the emperor's newly appointed General Dingyuan, although he was born in a peasant family, is a handsome man. This time, he is also attending the palace banquet at the order of the emperor."
The Queen nodded slightly: "Oh? Is this true? I have also heard of General Dingyuan. If it is true as you said, he is a talented person."
The eldest prince continued, "I think that this palace banquet will allow everyone to see the elegance of General Dingyuan."
At the same time, in every corner of the palace, some distinguished young ladies from official families were speculating about everything about this palace banquet.
Han Wen'er, daughter of Prime Minister Han Qi, has been pampered since childhood and has high standards. Her father Han Qi has mentioned General Dingyuan to her many times before, but she was very disdainful of Wu Yu, who came from a peasant family, and thought that he was of a low birth and not worthy of her status.
However, fate is always full of surprises.
That day, Han Wener met Wu Yu by chance in the imperial garden.
Wu Yu was dressed in a dark robe, with an upright posture, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a cold face with a hint of firmness.
His eyes were deep and firm. Han Wener was instantly attracted by Wu Yu's appearance, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.
"Are you... General Dingyuan?" Han Wen'er asked softly.
Wu Yu bowed slightly and said, "It is me."
Han Wen'er's cheeks flushed slightly: "I have heard of the general's name for a long time. Seeing him today, I find that he is indeed extraordinary."
Wu Yu replied calmly: "Thank you."
Then he turned and left: "I'm leaving now."
Looking at Wu Yu's back, Han Wener felt more and more that Wu Yu had an extraordinary temperament. Not only was he outstanding in appearance, but his words and deeds also revealed a calmness and wisdom.
Her heart was involuntarily attracted to Wu Yu.
On the night of the palace banquet, the palace was brightly lit and packed with guests.
Civil and military officials dressed in their best attire and entered the venue with their families.
As the newly appointed General Dingyuan, Wu Yu was naturally among those invited.
Han Wen'er arrived at the palace banquet early, and her eyes were always looking for Wu Yu. When she saw Wu Yu, her eyes were full of expectation and shyness.
At this time, the queen was also observing the people present.
When her eyes fell on Wu Yu, she suddenly felt familiar.
She frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I look at General Dingyuan and feel familiar with him. I think he is handsome and talented. How about recruiting him as your consort?"
When the emperor heard this, he rejected it without hesitation: "No. I have other plans."
The Queen asked in confusion: "Why is the Emperor so decisive? General Dingyuan is indeed a talent. If he can become a royal consort, it will be a good story."
The emperor shook his head slightly: "The queen doesn't know, although Wu Yu is talented, I have already intended to choose a wife for him from the children of these ministers to consolidate the power of the court. Besides, the position of the prince consort should not be given to anyone easily."
After hearing this, the queen felt a little regretful, but she also understood the emperor's considerations.
After the palace banquet began, there was singing and dancing, and it was very lively.
Wu Yu sat quietly in his seat, but his mind was full of thoughts. He knew that his current position was hard-earned and he had to act with caution.
Han Wen'er looked at Wu Yu from time to time, her heart full of anticipation. She whispered to the maid beside her: "Go and ask if General Dingyuan is married?"
The maid took the order and left. After a while, she came back to report: "Miss, I heard that General Dingyuan is still unmarried."
Han Wener was delighted and decided to find an opportunity to contact Wu Yu again.
At this moment, the emperor stood up, raised his glass and said, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I am very happy that all of you are gathered here. I hope you can spend this wonderful night together."
Everyone stood up and raised their glasses to toast.
In the next few days, the news spread throughout the capital that Wu Yu was in love with Han Wener, the eldest daughter of the prime minister.
Naturally, the news of this matter soon reached the general's mansion. When Jiang Yi saw Xue Qing wearing men's clothes again, he couldn't help but said, "Qing'er, you have been dressed as a man for more than a year. I don't even remember what you looked like in women's clothes."
Xue Qing looked at her strangely: "Sister Jiang, men's clothes are more convenient."
Jiang Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "These days, the capital has been saying that the general is interested in Prime Minister Han's daughter. You and the general..."
Xue Qing was not surprised. After all, it was a lady from a noble family. Which adolescent boy would not be moved by a beautiful woman?
"Wu Yu and I are friends. It's a good thing that he met a girl he liked," Xue Qing said calmly.
When Xue Qing and Jiang Yi came out, they happened to see Wu Yu in the yard.
"Wu Yu, what's up?"
"Mother asked me to ask you if we can go to burn incense together tomorrow?"
Xue Qing: "Okay, let's go together tomorrow"
Xue Qing took Jiang Yi and walked past Wu Yu.
Just after Xue Qing left, Wu Yu received an imperial decree from the palace and entered the palace immediately.
Wu Yu came to the imperial study. This was his third time here. Unlike the previous two times, he had mixed feelings this time.
The person sitting inside is not only the supreme king, but also his biological father.
"Your Majesty, I, Wu Yu, pay my respects to Him." Wu Yu kowtowed in greeting.
When the emperor saw the handsome Wu Yu, the smile on his face became even more amiable.
"Get up, no need to be polite"
Wu Yu stood up and lowered his eyes.
The emperor put down the memorial in his hand and said, "I heard that you are in love with Miss Han. Is this true?"
Wu Yu replied: "Your Majesty, I just met Miss Han by chance and I don't have any improper thoughts about her."
The emperor smiled and said, "Your wife is not an actual fiancée. Xia Xueqing is not a good match for you."
The emperor stood up and walked slowly to Wu Yu: "I think you and Miss Han are more suitable"
Wu Yu's eyes were firm: "Your Majesty, I cannot be a heartless and ungrateful person. Qing'er and I have been childhood sweethearts, and she is the only one in my heart!"
He took a step back and knelt on the ground: "I hope the emperor will grant me this!"
The emperor lowered his body and looked at Wu Yu: "Is it just because she and you are childhood sweethearts?"
Wu Yu and the emperor looked at each other: "Yes"
