After the banquet, everyone thought that King An would announce the county lord's favorite husband candidate on the spot, but the result was that King An directly asked them to go back to their respective homes, saying that the county lord was unwell today, and the husband candidate would be discussed later.

Some people are a little impatient in their hearts, but they don't dare to show it, they just feel that this scene is simply in vain. After a few days, everyone didn't see any movement from King An's mansion, and this time, the son-in-law banquet was over.

Murong Zhan was finally able to participate in political affairs, and he had been rewarded by the emperor for discussing trade with Nanyuan in the court, and the emperor allowed him to officially participate in court politics and share his worries with King An.

Nanyuan is still martial and has strong military strength, while there is only Chu Yuntian in the east, who can fight, but in the east, the economy is developed, and if it trades with Nanyuan, it can enhance the friendship between the two countries and maintain friendly exchanges.

Nanyuan is the new emperor ascended the throne, it is the time when the ambition is full, it is naturally willing to trade with the Donglin country, and proposed a marriage between the two countries, which can promote the relationship between the two countries, and the Donglin emperor is also happy to agree. Thus, the marriage between the two countries was thus completed.

Jiarong Gong, the younger sister of the Emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom, mainly married Donglin. This news quickly overshadowed the matter of the lord of Xirou County choosing a son-in-law, and people speculated about which prince or prince this Jiarong Duke would marry.

"This King An and King Kang have not married a wife yet, I think, Princess Jiarong should marry one of them."

"Not necessarily, the princess doesn't necessarily have to marry the prince, General Chu's son, General Chu, didn't marry a wife, he is the son of my god of war in the eastern country, and it is more than enough to match a princess from a neighboring country!"

"If you want me to say, you are just too idle, who the princess marries has nothing to do with us ordinary people! His Majesty the Emperor must have his considerations, what are you worrying about here! ”

“……”

"Your Majesty, Princess Jiarong is the sister of His Majesty Emperor Nanyuan, and her status is noble. In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Chu Da, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said.

"Your Majesty, if you want to say that the only unmarried princes of the right age are His Royal Highness King An and His Royal Highness King Kang, if Princess Jiarong must marry the prince, then there are only these two candidates."

The person who spoke was the prime minister of the east, Fu Guang. He has always remained neutral in the court, and he does not express much opinion on weekdays, but now that the situation in the court is complicated, he has always chosen to wait and see what happens.

Yuan Lihong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, said: "Your Majesty, Weichen believes that it is not necessary to choose Princess Jiarong's husband from among the princes, and many ministers in the court also have some extremely excellent and unmarried heirs, so it is also appropriate to give them a title at will, and then marry Princess Jiarong." ”

"Then Aiqing thinks which minister's son is suitable to be this colt!"

"Chu Yichuan, the son of General Chu Yuntian Chu, is a talent, serving the country, and is the pillar of my east, Princess Jiarong marries him, and it will never be considered as a marriage."

When Fu Guang heard this, he secretly scolded a fool. He looked at the emperor and found that there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were staring at Yuan Lihong, not knowing what he was thinking.

The emperor didn't speak, Fu Guang opened his mouth to break the silence, "Your Majesty, General Chu has outstanding merits, he holds military power, Nanyuan is already a military power, and if you marry the princess to Chu Yichuan, if it is ...... in the future"

Fu Guang's words were not finished, but he knew that His Majesty must have understood what he meant. He didn't want Chu Yichuan to marry Princess Nanyuan from the bottom of his heart, not only for the emperor's sake, but also for his own sake, he had always been at odds with Chu Yuntian, and no one could take Chu Yuntian's turn as his son.

"The candidate will be discussed later, now that Princess Jiarong has set off from Nanyuan, I want to send someone to the border to welcome Princess Jiarong to Beijing, who do you say?"

Murong Xuancheng did not discuss the choice of Princess Nanyuan's husband, and Fu Guang and the others couldn't guess his thoughts for a while. Hearing that His Majesty asked the person who received his relatives again, Fu Guang was silent again.

Yuan Lihong, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and Chu Da, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, both wanted to fight for this errand for their masters, and they all stood up to play.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that His Royal Highness King An can go to pick up his relatives."

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Kang is the right person."

The two of them exited almost at the same time, and when they heard the person recommended by the other party, they glanced at each other and fought with their eyes.

Chu Da had just entered Murong Zhan's command, and he was eager to show himself, so he turned his head back and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Kang has just returned to the court and has been crowned king again, and the people have a lot of complaints about him, saying that His Royal Highness King Kang has become a prince without doing practical things, and it is because of his leg disease that he has won His Majesty's sympathy to have the identity of King Kang." If he goes to pick up his relatives, if he hands it over to His Royal Highness King Kang, he must be able to bring back Princess Jiarong smoothly, and he can also eliminate the people's doubts about His Majesty! ”

Yuan Lihong was also not to be left behind, and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Chu's words are not unreasonable, but after all, His Royal Highness King Kang has just joined politics and does not know many things. His Royal Highness King An has been calm and relaxed in recent years, and he is also very experienced in negotiating with foreign ministers, and he is the most suitable person to send him to pick up his relatives. ”

Murong Xuancheng's eyes flashed with an uncertain light, these two old guys didn't want their prince to marry Princess Jiarong just now, but when it came to receiving relatives, they knew how to fight for their own prince. Murong Xuancheng had to sigh at the good skills of his two sons, so that his courtiers were willing to fight for their benefits.

"Alright, I've made up my mind. Just let King Kang go, what Chu Aiqing said has some truth, King Kang doesn't know much about many external etiquette, Chu Aiqing can help from the side. ”

Chu Da's face was overjoyed, "Weichen commands!" ”

When Murong Zhan learned that he was selected as the candidate to pick up his relatives, he didn't have much expression, he just nodded lightly and said to Chu Da: "This matter is good. ”

When Chu Da heard Murong Zhan's praise, he was very proud in his heart, but he said modestly: "Do things for Your Highness, and the ministers will never give up." ”

The marriage between the two countries is already a big deal, and now they have to send people to the border of the two countries to receive relatives, and everyone seems to be busy.

Murong Zhan was busy with receiving relatives, and Chu Yichuan was busy arranging the city defense after Princess Nanyuan came to the capital. Neither of them came to find Lu Wanting again, and Lu Wanting returned to her previous desertion here.

After the fall of the Bai family, Luo Kee reopened and began to sell some ordinary rouge, which was affordable to the people and affordable to the common people, while the previous rouge was classified as high-grade rouge, the price remained unchanged, and it was only sold to wealthy families, and the daily quantity was limited. There are also perfumes, lavender perfume is in short supply every time, and lavender is transported from Yaowang Valley to Donglin in batches.

Now that Luo Ji, Zuixian Lou and Fang Lan Yuan are all stable in business, Lu Wanting is a little bored, and she makes some pills and plays the piano every day when she is idle, or goes to the General's Mansion to find her senior sister to practice swordsmanship.

"Miss, someone is looking for her outside, she said her name is Li Qingyao."

Youhua's voice sounded, Lu Wanting was originally in a daze with her head propped up with her hands, but when she heard Li Qingyao coming, she hurriedly got up and ordered Youhua: "Invite her in." ”

After moving to the small courtyard, instructing Honeysuckle to serve tea, and asking her to prepare snacks, Lu Wanting pulled Li Qingyao to sit down, and after untying Li Qingyao's heart knot, the two of them became friends. Li Qingyao and Gu Huaiyuan have been married for a month, her face is ruddy, her eyes are full of happiness, it seems that she is living well after marriage.

"Why do you have time to come to me today?"

"I don't have anything to do in the house every day, I'm really bored, so I want to come and see you and talk to you."

Lu Wanting smiled and asked jokingly, "Why is your husband willing to let you come out?" ”

Li Qingyao heard Lu Wanting mention Gu Huaiyuan, showed a happy smile, and said, "He is busy with Princess Nanyuan's kissing now, how can he care about me." ”

"Seeing you like this, he must be nice to you."

"Yes, he is very good to me, and my mother-in-law is also very good to me."

"That's good, it seems that your father's eye for people is indeed not bad, and he has given you a good husband at a glance."

Li Qingyao smiled shyly, then looked at Lu Wanting and asked, "By the way, how are you and him with the son who swam in the lake with you before?" ”

Lu Wanting didn't seem to understand, and asked, "What?" ”

"It's that son, and he's also very handsome. Didn't you tell me you liked him? What's going on now? ”

Lu Wanting then remembered who she was talking about, "You said him, you misunderstood, I have nothing to do with him." In fact, when you met us, it was the second time I met him, and we were just friends. ”

"Huh? But didn't you say you liked him? ”

Lu Wanting smiled embarrassedly, "There was an emergency that day, and those were all prevarications, and they couldn't be counted." ”

"So, you really don't have anything to do with that son?"

"Well, it's really nothing."

"That's a pity, I think you're a good match."

Lu Wanting could only smile to relieve her embarrassment, just as Honeysuckle came with a pastry, she hurriedly picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to Li Qingyao, wanting to block her mouth.

"Try this pastry."

Li Qingyao took the pastry, put it in her mouth and took a bite, but she spit it out as soon as she tasted it.

Lu Wanting was a little frightened when she saw her vomiting, and hurriedly handed her a glass of water, "What's the matter, isn't this pastry delicious?" ”

Li Qingyao took the water and took a sip, "No, I just feel too tired and a little nauseous." ”

Lu Wanting picked up a piece of pastry and tasted it, it tasted very good! The sweetness is also good, and I don't get tired of eating, shouldn't I ......

She looked at Li Qingyao, who was holding a handkerchief and caressing her chest, and said to her, "Give me your hand, and I'll take your pulse." ”

Li Qingyao didn't know why she suddenly wanted to take her pulse, but she still obediently handed her hand, looking at her unpredictable eyes when she took the pulse, she asked nervously, "What's wrong?" Am I sick with something? ”

Lu Wanting looked at her and laughed out loud, "What?" Didn't your mother and your mother-in-law tell you about the symptoms of a woman's pregnancy? ”

"I said yes, but I haven't experienced it, I don't know! Wait a minute... You mean? ”

Li Qingyao didn't react at first, and was still answering Lu Wanting's question in a serious manner, and when she reacted, her face was a little incredulous.

Lu Wanting smiled at her and said, "Congratulations, you're happy!" ”

Li Qingyao exclaimed, covered her mouth with her little hand, and then put her hand on her lower abdomen with some joy, with a happy smile on her face.

"You should be in the early stages of pregnancy now, and the pulse is not obvious, and it may take a few days for the doctor to come to diagnose the pulse."

"Why do I think you're showing off your Medicine King Valley's medical skills?" Li Qingyao said with a smile.

Lu Wanting smiled proudly, "It's just showing off." ”

"Miss, someone from outside is coming again, and he said he came to pick up his wife." Yuhua's voice sounded again.

Lu Wanting and Li Qingyao looked at each other and smiled, "It should be your husband who came to pick you up." ”

"Well, then I'll go back first." Li Qingyao smiled happily again and got up to leave.

Lu Wanting thought that Li Qingyao was pregnant now, and it happened that Gu Huaiyuan was here, so she wanted to tell him a few words, so she also got up and said to Li Qingyao: "I'll send you." ”

Li Qingyao hesitated for a moment, then smiled: "Okay." ”
