Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1428

Ma Chuyi also said, "Now I am serving as the chief of the Dongyu Guard in the capital. But I don't want to stay in the capital. I may ask the emperor to transfer me to the border to guard the country. Life there is hard and the wind and sand are rampant..."

Ming Zhao was confused. "What do you mean, sir?"

Ma Chuyi then bowed and said, "If the girl doesn't give up, doesn't hate me, and can accept my future life arrangements, I will ask my mother to bring a matchmaker to propose marriage to the girl."

Ming Zhao: "..."

This guy is quite fresh!

Seeing that she didn't express her opinion for a long time, Ma Chuyi bowed again and said, "I am sorry for being rude. Miss, don't be embarrassed. I will take my leave now."

He was worried that if he delayed too long, it would damage the girl's reputation, so he wanted to make it quick. Since the girl was unwilling, he could understand.

Which girl who has a good life would be willing to go to the border and live a hard life with him?

"Your Excellency's arrival was sudden, and your proposal was also sudden. You have to let me think about it." Ming Zhao was not making fun of him. He was clear-headed and was not overwhelmed by joy. "Also, your Excellency's family background is too high. I am afraid that Lingci will look down on a small family like us. Have you ever thought about these issues, Your Excellency?"

Ma Chuyi had certainly thought about it, "Miss, you worry too much. My father and mother were not from a prominent family, they were poor, not a powerful family."

This is true. The Ma family can be what it is today because Ma Liyang fought on the battlefield throughout his life and made many military achievements, and only then did he climb to his current position step by step.

Ma Liyang often warned his sons not to forget their roots and that if they were not from a wealthy and powerful family, they should not act like one.

The family had always been frugal and absolutely honest. The occasional rewards were used by his father to support the injuries and illnesses of his subordinates.

If their mother hadn't been so diligent and frugal, their family would have been in a mess.

The only one in the family who had developed the delicate bone disease of a young man in the capital was Ma Chuyang. This was also the reason why he couldn't stand his younger brother. He scolded him every time he saw him, and he wished that his younger brother could stand and sit like a soldier overnight, instead of standing and leaning.

Ma Chuyi smiled bitterly, "I was worried that I might marry a girl above my station."

Ming Zhao felt relieved after hearing what he said. Seeing Ma Chuyi's clear eyes, he was already secretly in love with her, and his thoughts, which had just calmed down, began to waver again.

However, she was a little confused, "My Lord seems to be in a hurry for the marriage?"

Ma Chuyi spoke the truth, "My mother has already chosen a girl for me to date, and she will be arranged for me when I return to Beijing this time. I thought that instead of being arranged for me, it would be better for me to make my own arrangements first."

Ming Zhao had seen too many deceitful people, too many heartless and eloquent hypocrites, but this was the first time he had seen someone as honest as this.

If he had just casually said, "When I first saw you, I fell deeply in love with you and couldn't sleep at night," which girl could resist such a gentleman?

But he laid everything out in the open.

This behavior happened to please Ming Zhao. Moreover, she found that Ma Chuyi did not have any romantic feelings for her, so she hesitated for a moment, "Sir, can you give me three days to think about it?"

Ma Chuyi said hurriedly, "Of course. I am sorry for being rude." He remembered something and suddenly added, trying to argue, "I am not a sentimental person, so there will not be a mess of concubines in the backyard. Even if you don't want to go to the border with me, I will not take a concubine there."

His father took a concubine at the border, which made his mother very angry. He thought that marrying a wife to have children was enough, and other women would only slow down his speed in drawing the sword.

If you have that much time, why not do something else?

Ming Zhao considered it for three days.

During these three days, the Ming family was in a small uproar.
