Xiao Sijie's wife's family is not only prominent, but also a relative of Princess Jingping, with Zhao Ruyu's courage, she does not dare to reach out to harm others.

Therefore, Xiao Sijie's original wife must have died of illness or accident, so the position of the main room was vacated and became Zhao Ruyu's target.

Whether it is Zhao Ruyu or Zhao Rurui, they are all good concubines. This kind of concubine is not bought and sold, and it can be corrected.

So Zhao Ruyu's plan couldn't be more obvious.

"Forget it, don't mention her. As long as she doesn't come to provoke me, and she doesn't want to make money and kill people to do illegal things, I won't interfere with her. I wish her happiness. Zhao Ruxi said.

Xiao Lingyan agreed: "Anyway, the plot has completely changed, Fu Yunlang has married another wife, Zhao Ruyu has also married, the original CP has been demolished, and the world has not collapsed." We can ignore these two people. Let's live our own lives. ”

He added: "I still have to rush back to the capital, and I have to go to court tomorrow morning." I'll go back first. ”

Zhao Ruxi nodded, didn't leave him, and advised: "If the light is blind, you must be careful on the road." ”

"Don't worry, I brought a dozen or so guards, all in disguise." Xiao Lingyan stood up, "Then I'll go back." After I went back, I decided to make a marriage. We are married, and we will be married in half a year. ”

"Hmm." Zhao Ruxi nodded vigorously.

That night, Xiao Lingyan rushed back to the capital, and after discussing with Xu Zhou, he made many arrangements overnight.

In the afternoon of the next day, he estimated that Xiao Qi was free, so he entered the palace and asked to see his father.

"Little Five, what's the matter?" Xiao Qi was practicing calligraphy, and when he saw Xiao Lingyan coming in, he smiled and asked Gonggong Xie to serve him an ice bowl.

Xiao Lingyan ate the chilled pieces of fruit in two bites, and when he saw Xiao Qi put down his pen, he put down the bowl and stood up and saluted: "Erchen has recently studied farm tools, but he can't find a way, and the farm tools he makes are not practical. Several elders of the Ministry of Industry said that it was because the ministers were not familiar with agricultural affairs. Erchen wanted to go out of Beijing to walk around, get in touch with and get familiar with farming, so as not to laugh and be generous. ”

For this son, who has never had political ambitions, is dedicated to sharing the worries of the people, and is determined to increase crop yields, Xiao Qi really likes it more and more.

He nodded and said, "Cheng, you can go if you want." I will say to the Ministry of Industry after the end of the morning tomorrow. ”

Xiao Lingyan stood up and saluted: "Thank you, father." As he spoke, he bowed his head and was about to retreat.

"Wait." Xiao Qi stopped him, walked to the table and flipped through it, took out a fold, and handed it to Xiao Lingyan, "Look at this." ”

That's what he just received.

Xiao Lingyan had no choice but to come back, sat down at Xiao Yu's signal, opened the fold and looked at it, and then his face became ugly.

It turned out that the minister was bitter in the excerpt that King Chen Qi was so old that he had not yet decided on a marriage, which was not good for the country. said that if everyone followed his example and did not get married, how would the population of the country increase, let's talk about it in the excerpt.

"Father, the son is not the prince, the son of the son is your family affair, right? What is his position on this matter? Xiao Lingyan threw the fold on the table, his face full of displeasure, "The second brother only got married at the age of nineteen, and I have just turned eighteen now, and it is very unreasonable for him to say these words." ”

"But your second brother was married early, but it was only because the woman was not old enough that it was delayed until nineteen. You're different, you haven't even discussed family matters. If you don't rush you, drag it out any longer, and when you finish discussing and marrying, I'm afraid you won't be twenty years old when you get married. ”

Xiao Qi said: "Xiao Wu, although he is not qualified to take care of your family affairs, this fold is indeed arrogant." But he had a point. I am the king of a country, and if my sons are not married until they are twenty years old, how can I be qualified to ask people to marry at the age of sixteen or seventeen? Xiao Wu, you are a sensible child, you can't let your father be asked by the minister in the face, right? ”

"Since you turned eighteen, several ministers have told me this. If you drag it out any longer, I'm speechless. ”

Xiao Lingyan lowered his head: "Keerchen really doesn't know who to marry." ”

Xiao Qi frowned: "I have asked your mother to show you the atlas of the school-age ladies in Beijing, don't you have any of them satisfied?" ”

"That's it. In the album, they are all about the same, they are all beautiful and virtuous. Xiao Lingyan said expressionlessly.

Xiao Qi couldn't help but laugh when he thought about the albums he had seen.

Those who can be put on the atlas and handed to Cen Guifei and Xiao Lingyan are all carefully selected by the palace officials, and naturally they are all beautiful and virtuous, which is fine.

But in the eyes of these men, it is all the same, and there is no difference. The only difference is the type of appearance. But because of the painting method, there is not much difference in appearance.

Zhao Zhiwei's sketches are very realistic, but because they are black and white, her painting method has not been used in this kind of atlas.

Thinking of Zhao Zhiwei, Xiao Qi also had a headache.

Zhao Zhiwei has also reached the age of 16 and has not yet decided on a marriage. This morning, some ministers mentioned it during the discussion, saying that Zhao Zhiwei, as the first female champion, could not take the lead and not get married, otherwise the impact would be very bad.

But some time ago, he asked his cousin this question. Uncle Cousin said that none of those gentlemen in Beijing could be worthy of his little apprentice. He was also very worried, the little apprentice would soon be sixteen, and the family affairs could not be delayed any longer, but there was no suitable candidate.

Huh, sixteen?

Thinking of this, Xiao Qi's heart couldn't help but move, and he looked at Xiao Lingyan.

His son is eighteen, and he is very compatible with sixteen-year-old Zhao Zhiwei in terms of age. Needless to say, Zhao Zhiwei is not worse than the palace concubine in terms of appearance. She is so talented and has a vision that is no less than that of a man, it would be a pity if such a woman did not marry into the royal family.

Thinking so, Xiao Qi asked, "Xiao Wu, have you seen Zhao Zhiwei?" ”

Xiao Lingyan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Yes." Two years ago, I went to Dali Temple to inquire about something, and I happened to meet Zhao Zhiwei there to paint a portrait of a prisoner, and I had accidentally met him. But she wasn't famous at that time, and I saw that she was a novelty in her painting, so I went up to see her and said a few words to her. ”

He first recognized Zhao Ruxi in Dali Temple, because he was emotional, he was a little reckless in his actions, and Zhang Changshen and others knew it.

Although I haven't heard anyone mention this matter since, if you look carefully, you can still find it.

So there is no need for him to hide it, just admit it generously.

It's good to have seen it.

Xiao Lingyan perked up: "Then what do you think of Zhao Zhiwei?" You've seen her paintings and calligraphy, right? With such a talented strange woman, don't you want to marry her? ”
