"Zhao Zhiwei?" Xiao Lingyan was stunned for a moment, as if she had never thought about it. But then his eyes slowly lit up.

When Xiao Qi saw him like this, he knew that there was a play. If these two people can succeed, it can be regarded as solving the two old and difficult problems.

Didn't my cousin say that none of those children of noble families in the capital could be worthy of Zhao Zhiwei? His prince is always worthy, right?

He nodded, "Yes." When it comes to the capital and even the entire Great Jin Dynasty, among the women who have not yet decided to marry, Zhao Zhiwei is the most outstanding. Whether it is appearance, character, talent, or origin, there is nothing bad about it. You are a perfect match for her. ”

Xiao Lingyan thought about it, seemed to want to agree, but hesitated.

After hesitating for a while, he said, "She's in Nanyang now, right?" I'm going to the countryside this time to take a look around the capital. Otherwise, I will go to Nanyang to meet her then? If we all feel good, settle down. ”

It was part of his plan.

proposed to marry Zhao Zhiwei for no reason, whether it was Xiao Qi or others, they must be suspicious. He originally planned to take a walk down the road under the pretext of being familiar with farming, but accidentally met Zhao Zhiwei in Nanyang, and after contacting her, he returned to Beijing and then proposed to marry her, so that it would be a matter of course, and all the signs of their previous relationship were erased.

But he didn't expect that his plan had not yet been implemented, and Xiao Qi took the initiative to mention his marriage to Zhao Ruxi.

Xiao Qi mentioned it, and he agreed to come down with the boat, and this matter was already done.

But in the past six months, he has been very picky about the family affairs mentioned by everyone, dissatisfied here and dissatisfied there, very demanding, and even turtle hair. If Xiao Qi mentioned Zhao Zhiwei, he would agree, and his original personality of marriage turtle hair would have collapsed a little. When Xiao Qi comes back to his senses, he will definitely have some doubts.

Moreover, even if he agreed to the family affair, Xiao Qi would not be able to make a will to marry like this, he must first seek Kang Shilin's opinion. Once Kang Shilin objected, this family business would be in trouble.

Kang Shilin's kindness and love for Zhao Ruxi is undoubted, and he has always been as far away as he can from the royal succession dispute.

If he opposes family affairs, and Zhao Ruxi still insists on marrying, it will be ungrateful, and it will also make people suspect that she has the heart to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, and her character will be criticized. Even if she explained to Kang Shilin that the two were in love, Kang Shilin wouldn't believe it, she just thought she was making excuses.

Kang Shilin objected, even if the elders of Suiping Bofu were satisfied with this family business, it was not easy to go against Kang Shilin.

But if he met Zhao Ruxi in Nanyang, when he fell in love with Zhao Ruxi, Zhao Ruxi also fell in love with him. This is the little apprentice's own choice of family affairs, she is willing to marry, and her parents have no opinions, even if Kang Shilin is a master, it is not good to jump out against family affairs again.

Therefore, the question of precedence is extremely important and must not be reversed.

Therefore, Xiao Lingyan planned to proceed as originally planned.

Thinking that his son was extremely picky about his wife's requirements and what kind of "feeling" he was looking for, Xiao Qi was not surprised that Xiao Lingyan did not agree immediately.

He said, "Cheng, then you will see." If Zhao Zhiwei is unwilling to marry you, it is impossible for me to force her. I can't do this kind of thing to rob people's daughters for my son. ”

Xiao Lingyan was unhappy: "Father, do you think that your son is not as good as Zhao Zhiwei in your heart, so she looks down on your son?" ”

"Hahaha, you said this, I didn't say anything." Xiao Qi laughed.

Xiao Lingyan glanced at Xiao Yu with resentful eyes, stood up and said, "If my father doesn't have any orders, my son will retire." ”

"Go, go, bring my daughter-in-law back early. You kid aren't allowed to drop the chain. Xiao Qi waved his hand like a fly.

Xiao Lingyan came out of the palace, went back to the Qi Palace, packed his luggage, took the guards out of the city, and chased his wife after him.

His original plan was to conceal his identity and contact the people all the way, and it would take at least three or four days to reach Nanyang. After arriving in Nanyang, he will not contact with the people of the government, but will meet Zhao Ruxi in the field, and the two will talk about the improvement of farm tools, and he will go back to Beijing to mention the relationship between the two with Xiao Yu.

But with Xiao Qi's will, there was no need for him to delay time. As a young man who is eager to marry a wife at an old age, if he drags along the way, and when he arrives in Nanyang, he doesn't see Zhao Ruxi in the open, but sneaks around, it will look fake, and he will also look petty, and he will not have the demeanor of a prince at all.

Therefore, he only delayed on the road for one day, and arrived in Nanyang the next day.

The plan was negotiated by the two of them together, so Zhao Ruxi didn't expect Xiao Lingyan to come so quickly, this day she drew a water conservancy distribution map in the yamen, and saw the official guarding the door running up the steps in a panic, and said in a loud voice: "My lord, my lord, there are some people at the door, they say that His Royal Highness the King of Qi came down to inspect, and they want to see your lords." ”

Liu Hongyu was writing something, and when he heard that a large drop of ink was dripping on the paper, it instantly smudged the whole paper and couldn't ask for it.

He didn't care about this, put down his pen and hurriedly came out, and shouted: "Lord Cai, Lord Li, Lord Zhao, and Lord Feng all went out with the official to greet him." ”

The voice of the official was loud, and everyone was in the yamen, and Cai Yaozong, Li Li and others heard his words, and they had already walked out at this time.

Liu Hongyu saw that everyone had arrived, so he took the lead and walked out of the door. Everyone else followed.

"Did I hear me right? His Royal Highness King Qi came down here to inspect? The officials of the sixth room also heard the words of the officials and began to talk about it.

To greet the King of Qi, they are not qualified enough. What I have to do now is to stay in the yamen honestly, not to go out and walk around casually, and not to squeeze under the corridor to watch the excitement, so as not to collide with King Qi.

"We are close to the capital, and some people can't buy Zhuangzi in the capital, so they will come to us. However, there are not many dignitaries and nobles who come to inspect, and there will be no prince. After all, we are a state government, not a government office. What's going on? ”

At this time, Liu Hongyu had led four of his subordinates to the door of the yamen, and at a glance he saw a very handsome, tall and straight young man standing in front of the door, seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in luxury and brocade clothes, and there were more than a dozen people who looked like guards standing behind him.

He hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Minister Liu Hongyu, I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Qi." ”

The four people behind him also saluted: "The ministers have seen His Royal Highness the King of Qi." ”

"Get up." Xiao Lingyan waved his hand and glanced at everyone.

Zhao Ruxi lowered his head and looked like he was abiding by his duty.

Xiao Lingyan retracted his gaze and said to Liu Hongyu: "This king is currently working in the Ministry of Industry, and he has come to the countryside to learn about farming. Which of your yamen is in charge of farmland and water conservancy? I tired him to go with the king to the fields. ”
