Not only was Li Luo shocked, but the five generals sitting below were also caught off guard!
This is not right!
It's not what they were expecting!
Wasn't it that the Prince was proposing a marriage for the Crown Prince?
How did he end up proposing for himself?!
When Liu Heng heard Li Beixiong say "I like her", his whole body shuddered as he looked at his daughter.
At this moment, Liu Lingxi's face was ghastly pale. She was forcing herself to stay calm and said nothing, lowering her head.
But in her beautiful eyes, a layer of mist was already rising.
"Sigh... Your Highness, as long as my daughter agrees... I have no objection to this marriage..."
Liu Heng sighed and responded weakly.
When Li Beixiong saw Liu Heng's expression, as if his parents had died, he felt a little speechless.
Ever since he saw Liu Lingxi, he had liked her more and more.
This girl was knowledgeable, sensible, cultured and talented. She would be a good match for his beloved eldest son.
He really liked her as his daughter-in-law!
How could he not like such a daughter-in-law?!
But looking at Liu Heng's manner, it seemed he was not very willing to marry his daughter to his good eldest son!
Is his good eldest son that unworthy?
Li Beixiong turned around and looked at Li Luo a few more times.
My good eldest son doesn't look bad either?!
When Li Luo saw his father looking at him appraisingly, he thought his father was asking for his opinion.
Li Luo smiled slightly. It was rare for his old father to be enthralled by love. As his son, he would naturally give his full support.
Li Luo spread his hands and said indifferently:
"As long as Father you like her, I will naturally like her too. You don't need to consider my feelings."
When Li Beixiong heard Li Luo's words, he immediately felt extremely happy.
So his good eldest son also liked this girl!
As expected of his good eldest son, his taste was as unique as his own!
"Girl, what about you?"
Li Beixiong turned around and looked at Liu Lingxi with a smile, asking her.
Liu Lingxi suppressed the urge to cry, afraid that her refusal would implicate her father, so she gently said:
"If Father has no objection... I... I am willing to marry Your Highness..."
Saying this seemed to have exhausted all of Liu Lingxi's strength...
"Hahaha!"
"Good..."
"Wait!"
"Girl, what did you say?!"
When he heard Liu Lingxi agree to the marriage, Li Beixiong immediately laughed and clapped.
But in an instant he came to his senses, staring wide-eyed at Liu Lingxi...
Liu Lingxi didn't dare meet Li Beixiong's gaze. She bit her lips and said painfully:
"I... I... I said I'm willing to marry Your Highness..."
Liu Lingxi's voice was soft, but everyone present heard it clearly.
"Congratulations, Your Highness!"
The five generals below all bowed congratulating Li Beixiong.
So their Prince really had a taste for fresh tender grass!
Li Beixiong suddenly felt he had missed something big!
The corners of his mouth twitched frantically.
Then he looked at his good eldest son.
Li Luo gave him an understanding look, as if to say:
Go for it, Father! Pursue your happiness!
"Wait!"
"Girl, I think you misunderstood!"
"The one you're marrying is not Me, but My good eldest son, Li Luo!"
Li Beixiong then realized everyone had misunderstood his meaning!
He quickly clarified.
As soon as Li Beixiong finished speaking, this time it was Li Luo who was dumbfounded!
He stared wide-eyed at his father.
The five generals below also realized their mistake.
So they had misunderstood their Prince.
That's right.
They had fought alongside the Prince for many years. How could he have such a preference for fresh tender grass!
So they all bowed congratulating Li Luo, smirking:
"Congratulations, Crown Prince..."
The corners of Li Luo's mouth twitched frantically.
These fickle fair-weather friends...
At this moment, Li Luo just wanted to calm down. The reversal was too huge for him to keep up mentally.
Liu Heng and Liu Lingxi were also stunned in place. They looked at each other.
Soon, Liu Heng came to his senses, a delighted expression on his face.
"Agree! I agree completely!"
"Your Highness, I agree ten thousand times!"
After the misunderstanding was resolved and realizing the Prince was proposing to his daughter on behalf of the Crown Prince, Liu Heng was all smiles.
He had thought...
The Prince wanted to taste some tender fresh grass and take away his little white cabbage...
What a huge misunderstanding...
"Hahahaha..."
"Then from now on, you are my in-law!"
"Little girl, how do you feel now?"
"Are you willing to marry my good eldest son?"
Li Beixiong was not at all embarrassed by everyone's misunderstanding.
In his eyes, his good eldest son's big life event took precedence over everything.
Liu Lingxi's face turned red from the earlier misunderstanding. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Li Beixiong or Li Luo.
So awkward!
While feeling awkward, upon learning that the Prince was proposing to her father on behalf of the Crown Prince, Liu Lingxi felt a surge of inexplicable joy in her heart.
Her heartbeat quickened, as if a deer was ramming against it.
Then she whispered softly:
"Lingxi... Lingxi is willing to obey Father's arrangements..."
After saying that, she couldn't help stealing glances at Li Luo, wanting to see his reaction...
Seeing his daughter's reaction, Liu Heng smiled broadly.
With his many years of experience, how could he not see that his daughter also had feelings for the Crown Prince...
"Wait!"
"I object!"
Just as Li Beixiong was about to discuss with Liu Heng to pick an auspicious date and formally propose,
Li Luo frowned and objected.
"My son, why?!"
"Didn't you just say you liked this girl too?!"
"Why do you object?!"
Li Beixiong asked puzzledly.
Li Luo could not explain...
He certainly couldn't say he had also thought his father wanted to taste some tender fresh grass!
Hearing Li Luo's words, Liu Lingxi felt a sudden sense of loss in her heart for some reason...
Seeing Liu Lingxi's evasive expression, Li Luo stroked his nose and cleared his throat, saying solemnly:
"Cough... Father, Master Liu..."
"Right now, the dynasty faces internal and external troubles. Personal feelings like marriage, I won't consider for the moment!"
"Besides, Master Liu, I'll make this clear now."
"The current court is corrupt, the incapable ruler remains oblivious, while King Wu and King Jin have raised troops in rebellion. Our Beiliang is the same!"
"Have you really considered this?!"
"Are you willing to marry Miss Liu to me?!"
"If we fail in Beiliang, I don't need to spell out the consequences, do I?"
Li Luo looked intensely at Liu Heng, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
When Li Luo spoke, the atmosphere instantly quieted down.
Li Beixiong also put away his smile, looking solemnly at Liu Heng.
"My good eldest son is right. The other three Kings have rebelled, and our Beiliang is the same!"
"Frankly, my Beiliang is a traitorous rebel like those three Kings!"
"Have you really thought this through? Once agreed, your Liu family will be on board my traitorous Beiliang ship."
"If my Beiliang succeeds, that's fine. But if we fail..."
At this moment, Liu Heng fell silent...
As an official appointed by the court, if he sided with Beiliang, that would be disloyal.
But now, he was utterly disappointed with the court.
"Master Liu, if you don't agree to this marriage, I won't make things difficult for you..."
Seeing Liu Heng silent, Li Beixiong murmured.
After a while, Liu Heng looked at Li Beixiong and Li Luo with determination and said:
"Your Highness, foreign enemies have invaded, while King Wu and King Jin still fight among themselves, disregarding the safety of the people under the Liyang Dynasty. As for His Majesty, with the country in peril, he still indulges in wine and women."
"Now, only you and the Crown Prince have sent troops to defend and rescued hundreds of thousands of people in Qianxiang City, preventing it from falling into enemy hands."
"Therefore, in my opinion, currently only you and the Crown Prince can save the common people from fire and water!"
"I agree to this marriage!"
