Chapter 1271: The Min Family’s Lady 1
Since they talked to this degree, when the King asked about this, Gu Yunhe felt much more confident. He understood that the Crown Prince Consort was more than just the wife of the Crown Prince. She was also the Phoenix Girl, who was going to be of great help in the future. Gu Yunhe was her brother, and all he needed was a good martial connection. The King should have all the reasons to agree.
Gu Yunhe said as he felt more confident, “I would like to have a lady from the Min Family.”
“…”
“Back at the banquet a couple of days ago, I ran into the lady from the Min Family. She is very good and my parents are quite satisfied with her. The Crown Prince Consort believes that she is suitable too. So I am here asking for your help.”
!!
“…”
“We used to be an unknown mansion, so if we go to make the proposal, we are not quite sure they will agree.”
“…”
“So my parents asked me to beg for the imperial order.”
“…”
“I want to get married because I like her, and more importantly, my sister is the Crown Prince Consort, so my marriage should be well arranged so that the Crown Prince Consort won’t be humiliated. Otherwise, our mansion might even slow down the Crown Prince Consort’s step.”
“…”
“What do you think?” Gu Yunhe asked politely.
Before the Crown Prince left for the Pa.s.s, he had some strategists he personally liked at the mansion.
He was here asking for the imperial order for marriage and he even asked the strategist how he ought to behave in front of the King. That was why Gu Yunhe could say everything so straightforwardly and plainly.
He waited for his answer with head lowered, as he spoke politely.
He was quite anxious.
It was the Min Family that he asked for.
The Min Family was the head of the n.o.ble family in the capital and the King respected them. So Gu Yunhe was not very sure about it.
Hearing that, the King did not look at Gu Yunhe.
He thought about this as he frowned.
The Min Family…
Gu Yunhe was not wrong about what he said. In the past, the Gu Family would not be able to be related to any n.o.ble family in the capital, and the family was not capable enough either. However, the Crown Prince Consort was born in the Gu Family, and the Crown Prince should have his reputation properly built up, as well as the face of the Phoenix Girl. That was why the Gu Mansion should be lifted.
He was right about marrying the lady from the Min Family. So it was a very reasonable request.
However…
It was the Min Family he was talking about.
In the past he did not dare to touch the Min Family, because Mrs. Min was always with the Min Family even though she did not live there.
He did not dare to touch Mrs. Min when she was around, but… His messenger told him that Mrs. Min left the capital and did not even say a thing to the Min Family and Madame Min.
Therefore… the situation was obvious.
Mrs. Min was gone and she did not want to protect the Min Family any more.
Under that circ.u.mstance, he had thought about establis.h.i.+ng a martial connection with the Min Family.
