Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 373

Just as Lu Hao said, he took Xia Wei to Jintao Pavilion.

Hearing that the Prime Minister was coming to propose marriage, Xia Wei's father, Xia Peilin, came to greet him personally and took Lu Hao to the hall of the inner courtyard to sit down and drink tea.

Soon, Xia Wei's mother, elder brother, elder sister-in-law, and younger sister all came out.

"Uncle, aunt, it turns out that I'm here to give you a betrothal gift today."

Lu Hao got straight to the point and waved his hand.

The servants below immediately filed out, all carrying large boxes. Looking at the weight of these boxes, the contents inside were valuable.

In fact, Boss Xia of Jintao Pavilion is considered a wealthy man in the imperial capital and doesn't care about the betrothal gift at all.

As long as Lu Hao, the Prime Minister, can marry his own daughter, what else can be more honorable than this?
"Master Xiang, are you going to marry your sister?"

The younger sister Xia Bing was very excited and interjected.

"of course."

Lu Hao responded with a smile.

At this time, Xia Wei was too embarrassed to raise her head, and she lowered her head and did not dare to look at her father and mother.

When Xia Peilin heard that Lu Hao was going to marry his daughter, he almost jumped with excitement.

"Great! You will be my brother-in-law from now on!"

Xia Bing couldn't control it at first and was so excited that she danced.

Xia Wei's eldest brother and sister-in-law were also very excited. After all, with this powerful brother-in-law, wouldn't it be possible to go sideways?

Of course, the most important thing is that the Prime Minister can come to propose marriage in person, which is a good deal for the Xia family.

At the same time, I am also happy that my sister can find a good home.

"Master Xiang, our Xia family is very satisfied with this marriage, but we still have to ask Weiwei what she means."

Mrs. Xia turned to Xia Wei and waved to her to come over.

Xia Wei walked up to her mother. Her mother took her hand and said with a smile: "Weiwei, in a blink of an eye, you have grown so big and are about to get married."

"Mother..."

Weiwei shouted emotionally.

"Tell mother, are you willing to marry the prime minister?"

Mrs. Xia asked softly.

"Um……"

Xia Wei nodded slightly, feeling extremely shy.

"Since you are willing to marry the Prime Minister, your parents will make the decision for you and marry you to the Prime Minister."

Mrs. Xia's eyes were filled with tears, and she was obviously reluctant to part with her daughter.

"You see, you are here again? Even if your daughter marries the prime minister, she will only have to walk back to her parents' home. Being able to marry the prime minister will be her lifelong blessing. You should be happy!"

Xia Peilin quickly comforted his wife.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, our Xia family has agreed to this marriage."

Mrs. Xia turned to Lu Hao and said with a smile.

"Father-in-law and mother-in-law are here, and my son-in-law kowtows to you two."

Lu Hao immediately stood up and knelt on the ground.

"Master Prime Minister, you are the Prime Minister of the Empire, we cannot afford it!"

Xia Peilin and his wife hurriedly stood up and were about to stop Lu Hao.

Xia Wei was also frightened by Lu Hao's actions, because Lu Hao was the Prime Minister of the Empire after all, and he was not someone who could kneel down casually.

"You are Xia Wei's parents, and naturally you are your son-in-law's parents. No matter how high the prime minister's official position is, I will also be your son-in-law."

Lu Hao kowtowed three times respectfully.

"Lu Hao, get up."

Xia Peilin and his wife were so excited that they burst into tears. It was Xia Wei who stepped forward and pulled Lu Hao up.

"Lu Hao, what are you doing? You will scare my parents."

Xia Wei complained.

"Silly girl, no matter how high the prime minister's official position is, I am also the son-in-law of the second elder. They say that there is gold under a man's knees. So why should he kneel down and lick his parents? In fact, he kneels down to his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Why not?"

Lu Hao's words were sonorous and powerful.

"I know you are filial, otherwise I wouldn't marry you!"

Xia Wei rolled her eyes at him, but she was deeply moved.

After all, the Prime Minister kowtows to his parents. If this is revealed, the Xia family will be really embarrassed.

"I can't get married now. Both my parents have agreed to this marriage!"

Lu Hao laughed happily.

At this time, Wu Qingyu came in a hurry under the leadership of the official family. "Master Prime Minister, something big happened!"

Wu Qingyu looked very anxious.

"You go out, the real identity will come out soon."

Lu Hao waved his hand.

"Yes!"

Wu Qingyu retreated.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, eldest brother, sister-in-law, and little sister, I was supposed to have a meal with you today, but it turns out that something is urgent, so I took my leave first."

Lu Hao bowed slightly.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that something big must have happened to make Mr. Wu so anxious.

"Master Xiang, if you have something to do, go and do it."

"Yes, you go and do your work first. We will talk about the details of the wedding later."

"Weiwei, go and see off the Prime Minister..."

The Xia family is still very reasonable.

Xia Wei personally sent Lu Hao out, with a look of resentment on her face, but had to let him go.

"Weiwei, I have come to propose marriage in person, why aren't you happy?"

Lu Hao asked with a smile.

"But you have to leave so soon."

Xia Wei pouted and said angrily.

"Okay, don't be angry. I will treat your family to dinner at Fengxian Tower tomorrow night. How about it?"

Lu Hao came up with a compromise.

"Keep your word! Don't cheat!"

Xia Wei finally smiled.

"The truth has always been true!"

Lu Hao said seriously.

"Well, it's still snowing outside, so don't tire yourself out."

Xia Wei looked at the snowflakes in the sky and expressed concern.

"Don't worry, I will definitely take care of myself and save my little wife Weiwei."

Lu Hao smiled evilly, turned around and walked towards the carriage.

Wu Qingyu led a large number of elite guards and supervisory departments. They were full of swords and guns and filled with murderous intent. It looked like they were on the verge of war.

"What happened?"

Lu Hao boarded the carriage and asked coldly.

"Prime Minister, an hour ago, the spy placed by the Supervision Department in Tianyin Pavilion was killed. When he was dying, he wrote the word 'Hengyang' in blood on the ground..."

Wu Qingyu hurriedly reported.

"Hengyang?"

Lu Hao chewed these two words, his eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"Prime Minister, my subordinates are worried that someone is plotting against Hengyang City..."

Wu Qingyu said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, go to Tianyin Pavilion first and then..."

Lu Hao said in a deep voice.

The enemy has obviously targeted Hengyang City, but I don’t know what the enemy is planning?
Could someone want to attack Hengyang City?
This is also what worries Wu Qingyu.

Tianyin Pavilion was Situ Tianyin's territory. On her territory, a spy from the Supervision Department died.

After getting the news, Situ Tianyin naturally hurried over.

"Tianyin has met the Prime Minister!"

Situ Tianyin stood at the door and bowed slightly.

"General of the auxiliary country, no need to be polite, let's go up and have a look."

Lu Hao solemnly called her by her official name.

Of course, logically speaking, Situ Tianyin is not qualified to confer the title of general of the auxiliary country.

However, after Situ Tianyin volunteered herself, the relationship between the two grew stronger day by day. It was naturally impossible for Lu Hao to let her follow him namelessly.

The title of General of Fuguo is enough to rival the General of Zhenguo and the General of Dingguo.

It can be regarded as a kind of compensation from Lu Hao to her.
