As an emperor, being especially afraid of pain was very embarrassing if it were to be known. Therefore, apart from the eunuchs and maids serving in the palace, nobody outside knew about it.

So, Hua Jiayu continued to misunderstand. He thought of himself as a very considerate son. Since his father had fired a shot the previous day, he definitely wouldn't be able to get up before the afternoon. That's why he went to the palace in the afternoon. Unexpectedly, he encountered Zhao Zhen on the way.

Hua Jiayu looked at him with complexity and said, "Zhao, good afternoon." This was the legendary cunning guard who truly relied on hidden rules to climb up the ranks. From now on, Hua Jiayu must treat him better and avoid offending him.

Zhao Zhen remained expressionless as he said, "Greetings, Lord Liu."

Patting his shoulder, Hua Jiayu whispered, "Captain Zhao, you've worked hard. Tomorrow, I'll have the steward send some sheep to your mansion to make up for it." Although his biological father was handsome, he couldn't howl as fiercely as him. It was impressive that Zhao Zhen didn't yield to him.

Zhao Zhen's face was a little dark.

In their culture, sheep are only used for sacrifices.

I deeply feel that I have already entrapped Zhao Zhen. Hua Jiayu, feeling refreshed, went to find Hua Yan, while at this moment, inside the Changsheng Hall, there is someone kneeling, and Hua Yan's expression is also very cold.

The two of them seemed to be unaware of themselves, while Hua Jiayu quietly played the role of a bystander.

"Your Majesty, Duke Yang is already twenty-three, the age at which marriage is typically expected. Why not allow it?"

Hua Jiayu's eyes lit up. The main character is getting married?

Such a good thing!

Hua Yan's voice was icy cold as he said, "General Dou, General Yang has earned outstanding military achievements for our dynasty. If I were to decree that Minister Liu's daughter be given to him, it would undoubtedly chill the hearts of tens of thousands of soldiers on the border."

Du Jun knelt down, unable to say a word due to being blocked.

Hua Jiayu: "......" Is Liu Shangshu's daughter the black pearl?

Hua Yan noticed Hua Jiayu in the corner and asked proudly, "You're not young anymore, do you have any girls you're interested in?"

For some reason, Hua Jiayu felt a slight pain in his buttocks. Shaking his head, he said, "Father Emperor, since Yang has achieved great military merits for our dynasty, why not...why not bestow my cousin Ming Yao to him?"

The original owner's maternal grandfather was the former prime minister, highly knowledgeable and educated. It goes without saying that his granddaughter is also exceptionally talented.

Of course, the most important thing is that Ming Yao is the female lead! She is the protagonist's heart's mole!

After pondering for a moment, Huayan thought that Mingyao was not a bad choice, so she made a decision.

Du Jun was not happy when he failed to achieve his goal. Even more unhappy than him was Du Yang, who suddenly received the imperial order.

It was difficult to comply with the imperial decree, so Dou Yang'an calmly accepted the holy edict and returned to his room, sitting down without moving for the entire day.

Du Yang is getting married. Hua Jiayu felt that even if she went to the Du Mansion to see him, it wouldn't make much difference. Early in the morning, she prepared the gifts and went to the Du Mansion alone, relying on her looks to get in directly.

Pushing open the door, Hua Jiayu saw Dou Yang, who had been sitting motionless in the room for a whole day and night. After setting down the gift, Hua Jiayu smiled and said, "To think that after returning for just half a month, General Dou is already getting married. Congratulations, how joyful!"

Du Yang's eyes twitched, his gaze fixed on the ground without uttering a word.

Hua Jiayu didn't see Dou Yang's expression. He patted his shoulder and sighed, saying, "It was unintentional. Du Jun asked the emperor for permission to have Liu's daughter marry you, but it was because I spoke highly of you that he replaced her with Ming Yao, his cousin." After speaking, Hua Jiayu gave himself a big thumbs-up for the good deed he had done.

Du Yang looked up and stared at Hua Jiayu, his voice hoarse, "Was it you who said that?"

"Yes...yes." His expression was somewhat terrifying. Hua Jiayu took two steps back with his hind legs and asked quietly, "You don't like Ming Yao?" That's impossible! In the novel, the protagonist after his transformation dotes on the female lead to the extreme!

Du Yang lowered his eyes, but soon raised his head, his lips curling into a faint smile as he spoke softly, "Like? How could I not like it? In that case, I must thank the Prince of the Sixth Kingdom even more for making this possible."
