Chapter 520 I Want to Get Married

The prince was startled, "Yes, it was your birthday a few days ago, and you were not at home, so I forgot about it."

"After your elder brother's marriage is done in two days, I will hold a ceremony for you to celebrate your coming of age."

Xiao Yu waved his hand, "Father, there is no need to do it. Now our family should keep a low profile."

The prince nodded slightly and sighed, "That's right, it's better not to do it."

"As for the marriage, leave it to your mother. I heard that your grandmother wrote a letter and mentioned several good girls in Beijing."

Xiao Yu said in a deep voice: "Father, I think it is not appropriate to marry with the powerful people in Beijing at the moment. The greater the power of the Prince Qi's Mansion, the more uneasy the emperor will be."

The prince's face was gloomy. What Xiao Yu said was not unreasonable.

Xiao Yu lowered his head, "My son thinks, why not marry a girl from an ordinary family? After all, my son is the prince. Marrying a girl from an ordinary family may dispel some of the emperor's suspicions."

The prince thought for a while, "It's feasible, but in this way, wouldn't it be unfair to you?"

Xiao Yu bowed his hands, "No, my son and the palace are always in the same boat."

"Besides, my son has always disliked noble ladies from wealthy families. They are arrogant and annoying."

The prince looked at Xiao Yu for a few seconds, "It seems that you have someone in mind?"

Xiao Yu lowered his eyes, "Father, you have a good eye. My son does have a candidate in mind."

"Oh, who is it?"

Xiao Yu paused, "It's Miss Gu who saved my life last time."

The prince narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Yu.

He already understood in his heart that Xiao Yu's previous words about dispelling the emperor's suspicion were all excuses, just to make him agree to marry Miss Gu.

Thinking of Miss Gu, the prince remembered her celestial beauty and the elixir she used to save Xiao Yu's life.

He knocked on the table gently, "Miss Gu--"

"I heard that Miss Gu's family is just a farmer. Although she wants to marry someone of lower status, her family background is too low."

Xiao Yu lowered his eyes. It seemed that after Xiao Fei saved him last time, his father investigated Xiao Fei.

Now that he mentioned Miss Gu, his father did not scold him harshly, which meant that there was still hope.

Next, it depends on whether he can impress his father.

He suddenly lifted his robe and knelt down, "Father, I beg you to agree to let me marry Miss Gu."

"I want to marry Miss Gu because I am grateful for her life-saving grace, and secondly, I really like Miss Gu," he said with a somewhat embarrassed look.

"Also, what I just said is not nonsense. If the emperor's doubts cannot be dispelled as soon as possible, I don't know what the emperor will do."

"I am worried that my father will be summoned to Beijing!"

Conspiracy is often not as good as open conspiracy. Xiao Yu knew that his father would not be led by him in such a big event. It is better to deliberately expose his little thoughts and win his trust.

The prince looked at his son kneeling on the ground. He knew that Xiao Yu was always straightforward and impulsive. He said whatever he wanted and was arrogant and awkward.

It was not easy for him to say these words.

He looked at her for a while and laughed, "That Miss Gu is a fairy, no wonder you like her."

"I thought you would marry Miss Gu into the palace in the future, but I didn't expect that--"

He tapped the table with his fingers, thinking that it was indeed not appropriate to marry a rich and powerful person at the moment. If he married a girl from a sixth or seventh rank official family, it would look better on the surface, but in fact it would not bring any help to the palace.
