The night was already deep, but Zhao Yan couldn't be calm for a long time, after he sent Zhao Shu away, he kept himself locked in the study, sitting there motionless, but his heart was like a stormy wave, especially when he saw the volume of holy decrees in front of him, he was even more confused, he never expected that Zhao Shu would give him such a holy decree.

Zhao Yan stared at the holy decree in front of him and saw that in the middle of the night, he could still think of something in his mind at first, but it slowly became more and more chaotic, and in the end, even he didn't know what he was thinking, and finally simply closed his eyes and didn't think about anything, which made his mood slowly calm down.

"Big brother, big brother, I hope you can understand your father's painstaking efforts, don't let me use this thing!" Zhao Yan suddenly opened his eyes at this time, then grabbed the holy decree in front of him with both hands and said softly, the content on this holy decree is not trivial, and he will definitely not use it unless it is absolutely necessary.

At that moment, Zhao Yan brought this holy decree back to the study of the inner house, hid it with the things he brought when he crossed, and then returned to Cao Ying's bedroom, but Cao Ying had not rested at this time, and when he saw him come in, he immediately stood up and said with concern: "Husband, who is here to let you stay outside for so long?" ”

"This ...... It's the Father! Zhao Yan hesitated when he heard Cao Ying's question, and finally replied honestly, but he didn't say the reason why Zhao Shu came to see him, mainly because today's matter is really important, except for Zhao Shu and Zhao Yan, only Huang Wude knows, so Zhao Yan doesn't plan to Cao Ying.

Hearing that the person who came to visit was Zhao Shu, Cao Ying couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then thought that Zhao Shu only got sick yesterday, and he was still sick today and couldn't get up, but now he came with illness, there must be something extremely important. It's just that Zhao Yan didn't say it, so she didn't ask, after all, some things are really inconvenient for women like them to know.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Zhao Yan accompanied Princess Bao'an and Princess Shoukang into the palace, and the two of them didn't know about Zhao Shu's trip to Zhao Yan's mansion last night. When I entered the palace today and saw Zhao Shu lying on the hospital bed, I was also sad at the moment, especially when I thought that my father might die of illness at any time in three months, which made them cry bitterly on the spot, but Zhao Shu was very open-minded and comforted the two daughters.

Finally waited for Princess Bao'an and Princess Shoukang to stop crying, Zhao Shu let them sit down on the edge of their bed, and the father and daughter began to talk quietly, and Zhao Yan also sat on the side to accompany them. From time to time, I also interjected a few sentences, and it seemed to be happy for a while.

But at this moment, I heard Zhao Shu suddenly sigh and said: "Shu Ning, Kang Ning, I'm afraid I won't be able to last this year as a father, but everyone has their own lives, and I have already seen through life and death, and I don't feel any sadness, but the marriage between the two of you has not yet been settled." This makes the father very relieved! ”

Speaking of which, the ages of Princess Bao'an and Princess Shoukang are indeed not young, even in the late marriage club. is also a fairly old woman, among which Princess Bao'an is fine, after all, she has been married once, but Princess Shoukang has never been married, every time Zhao Shu wants to arrange a marriage for her, she insists on not allowing it. In addition, Empress Dowager Cao protected her again, and as a result, Zhao Shu and Empress Gao had no way to deal with Princess Shoukang.

If Zhao Shu usually mentioned Princess Bao'an's marriage, they would definitely find a way to shirk it, but at this time, Zhao Shu was already so sick that he couldn't rest assured about their marriage. This made both Princess Bao'an feel a little guilty, and finally Princess Bao'an took the lead in saying: "My daughter is not filial, which makes my father worried!" ”

Seeing the guilty expressions on the faces of the two daughters, Zhao Shu took the opportunity to speak: "Shu Ning, Kang Ning, while I still have a few months, it is better to give your marriage a decision, so that even if the father really can't stand it, he can leave with confidence." ”

Zhao Shu is using his illness to blackmail Princess Bao'an and the others, and he is not afraid that they will not agree, after all, this is also the most reassuring thing for him, the father.

Sure enough, Princess Bao'an and Princess Shoukang heard that Zhao Shu was going to set a marriage for them, both of them looked at each other with some embarrassment, wanted to refuse but couldn't bear to speak, and finally the outspoken Princess Shoukang finally couldn't help but say: "Father, my daughter is indeed a little willful in marriage, but since my father has been at ease, the daughter agrees to settle the marriage, but the daughter has a request!" ”

"Oh, what request? As long as it is for the Father, he will not refuse! Zhao Shu saw that Princess Shoukang agreed, and finally said with a shock in his spirit, as long as Princess Shoukang is willing to marry, he is willing to do anything as a father.

"Actually, the daughter didn't ask for herself, but wanted to save her father, and agreed to let the second sister choose the horse by herself, no matter what kind of man the second sister chose to be the horse, father, don't interfere too much, okay?" Princess Shoukang said with a serious face at this time, she knew that Princess Bao'an had been working hard to change his identity, but he couldn't hide the things he had been a monk before, so Princess Shoukang made such a request to Zhao Shu.

Zhao Shu heard this somewhat strange request made by Princess Shoukang, and then looked at Princess Bao'an, who was a little embarrassed, and immediately guessed something, and at the same time glanced at Princess Bao'an deeply and said: "Shu Ning, you honestly tell your father, do you already have someone you like?" ”

"Father, I ......" Princess Bao'an will not lie, let alone face her seriously ill father, but this matter is related to her relationship with Sora, so she didn't know how to answer for a while.

Zhao Yan next to him already felt a little bad when he heard Princess Shoukang's request to Zhao Shu, and now he was really seen by Zhao Shu, especially Princess Bao'an's appearance, and he didn't admit himself, which made him very anxious, and hurriedly opened his mouth and said: "Father, the third sister means to let the second sister choose her own husband, so as not to meet Wang Xu's kind of guy who is from a famous family but has a corrupt character!" ”

"Oh, really?" Zhao Shu heard Zhao Yan's words, but looked at the three of them suspiciously, and soon a look of understanding flashed in his eyes, as if he had seen through the thoughts of Zhao Yan and the others, but he didn't dwell on this matter anymore, but took the initiative to divert the topic and began to ask Princess Shoukang what type of man she liked, which also made Zhao Yan and the three of them breathe a sigh of relief.

Maybe it was because Princess Shoukang was finally willing to get married, which made Zhao Shu's spirit suddenly become excited, and he pulled the three of them to talk for a long time, of course, most of the topics revolved around Princess Shoukang's marriage. In fact, Zhao Yan and Princess Bao'an were also very surprised, they didn't expect Princess Shoukang to really agree to get married.

The most important thing for the princess to marry is naturally the candidate for the concubine, and the Great Song Dynasty has already formed a set of processes for this, such as the marriage of the Duke of Shoukang, and the news will definitely be notified to the nobles or officials of each family in advance, and then let these nobles or officials of the right age, and the young men who are willing to be princesses report to the court, and then the court will screen out a few suitable candidates from these men, and finally report to the palace, and the emperor and the empress, the queen mother, etc. will decide the final candidate.

Zhao Shu first asked Princess Shoukang if there was any suitable candidate, if she had a man she liked, and the other party's family background was suitable, then the process of selecting a colt above could naturally be omitted, of course, the premise was that the man must also agree.

Zhao Yan and Princess Bao'an knew that Princess Shoukang and Cao Song were very close during this time, speaking of which, with the fame of the bank during this time, Cao Song finally got rid of the original bad reputation, especially among the businessmen in the capital, Cao Song had to be mentioned with a little respect, of course, there were also people behind their backs to talk about Cao Song's previous bad deeds, but this kind of thing has long become the evidence of Cao Song's prodigal son's return, and no one cares too much about it at all.

In other words, the current Cao Song is completely worthy of Princess Shoukang, plus the two of them are so close, so Zhao Yan and Princess Bao'an thought that Princess Shoukang would directly choose Cao Song as the candidate for the concubine, but what they didn't expect was that Princess Shoukang did not do this, but said that she did not like anyone, and she still followed the process of choosing a concubine.

Zhao Shu didn't know about Princess Shoukang and Cao Song, and he was very happy to hear his daughter's words, so he immediately asked Queen Gao to come, and then discussed with her about choosing a horse for Princess Shoukang, which made Queen Gao very happy, and even proposed to take the opportunity to help Princess Bao'an also choose a concubine, but Zhao Shu saw that Princess Bao'an seemed to have a crush, and she didn't want to let herself know, so she helped her reject Queen Gao's suggestion.

The three of Zhao Yan's sisters and brothers stayed in the palace for a whole day, and they didn't leave together until it was dark, but they had just gotten into the carriage, and Zhao Yan and Princess Bao'an immediately asked Princess Shoukang in unison: "Third sister (third sister), are you really going to get married?" ”

"Of course, I don't want my father to be concerned about my marriage all the time, and women always have to get married, since this is the case, it is better to marry myself in these months, so that my father can rest assured." Princess Shoukang said with an indifferent face.

"But...... But third sister, aren't you very close to Cao Song, and last time Master Huining's assertion about your marriage also pointed to Cao Song, why didn't you directly choose Cao Song as the candidate for the concubine when your father asked about it before? Princess Bao'an was impatient at this time.

If Princess Bao'an was really unwilling to marry her sister to a notorious person like Cao Song before, but now Cao Song not only turned back as a prodigal son, but also became the most promising man among the young generation of nobles by virtue of the bank, especially she heard Zhao Yan say that she knew that the bank had greater potential, so she was more satisfied with Cao Song, and she always wanted to match them in her heart, but she didn't expect Princess Shoukang to not designate Cao Song, which made her very anxious.
