Chapter 54: Affirmation
Li Qing stood aside, carefully observing Shen Zhiye's expression, refusing to let go of the slightest trace. While cautiously asking tentatively, he wanted to know what Lan Qiu and Shen Zhiye had said.
"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly feel a little ashamed of Lan Aiqing, and I also feel a little guilty about Miss Lan." Shen Zhiye didn't mean to say it, but he just felt that he was a little sorry for Lan Qiu and Lan Xi.
Hearing this, there was no need to ask any further, Li Qing probably understood what it was. It is nothing more than the fact that Lan Xi and Shen Yangxi were appointed to marry by the first emperor.
What the first emperor said casually delayed Lan Xi for so many years. The good years have been exhausted, and the royal family has no intention of letting Shen Yangxi marry Lan Xi. That's it, when Lan Xi and Lu could get married, they married the daughters of Shen Yangxi and the Wen family, isn't this a clear slap in the face of the Lan family?
Therefore, it is true that the emperor will have such a guilty feeling. And Shen Zhiye has been worrying about these things for the past few days, and now he is irritated because of this matter, and Li Qing doesn't feel any surprise.
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and all the people of the world are Your Majesty's people, and they must obey Your Majesty's words and be loyal. Now that the daughter's marriage has been delayed, even if His Majesty lets the Lan family sacrifice for His Majesty, there will be no complaints if he wants to come to Lord Shangshu. It's just a daughter, and your majesty has nothing to feel guilty about. Li Qing comforted Shen Zhiye and told him not to think too much and to relax.
Originally, I have never seen the Son of Heaven treat his courtiers with such a mentality. Shen is such a good emperor, and he can understand his difficulties when he comes to Lanqiu.
"Having said that, this matter is something that the royal family is inappropriate about. If Lanqiu complains about me because of this, what should I do? Everyone in the world knows that Lan Qiu loves his daughter like his life, that is the pearl of his palm, and being so delayed by the royal family will inevitably make the Lan family resentful. Shen Zhiye shook his head, skeptical of Li Qing's words.
Shen Zhiye doesn't believe that there are really foolish and loyal people in the world, even if he ruins the other party's family, the other party still loyally follows him?
These are things that others may believe. But Shen is in the industry, but he doesn't believe it at all.
That's why Shen Zhiye was so worried, afraid that Lanqiu would resent Shen Zhiye because of this. At that time, Shen Zhiye could be regarded as real, and he was fighting alone.
"The slave is really worried about His Majesty, what the first emperor promised was just a verbal joke! The Lan family has never taken it seriously, and the royal family has never had such a plan, why does the Lan family still resent His Majesty? If Your Majesty feels that this matter has delayed Miss Lan, why not make a holy decree and choose a good husband for this Miss Lan, won't it be to reassure Shangshu at that time? The people outside will never have any criticism of Miss Lan, Your Majesty's marriage is justified! Li Qing saw that after comforting him for so long, Shen Zhiye still frowned, without any intention of evacuating, so he opened his mouth again to offer advice, wanting to share Shen Zhiye's worries and solve problems.
"This ...... It's a good idea. It's just that...... Where can you ask me to find a suitable candidate for the Lan family girl in a short period of time? If you mess up the mandarin duck spectrum and ruin the Lan family's girl's life, then I'm afraid it will be a bad thing! After listening to Li Qing's suggestion, Shen Zhiye's eyes immediately lit up. But then it dimmed again, the idea is a good idea, but what should this person do?
You can't just pull someone on the street over and marry Lan Xi, right? When the time comes, let alone Lanqiu, I'm afraid that even the dead emperor wants to crawl out of the imperial tomb and hack Shen Zhiye to death, right?
"This matter is easy to do, why don't Your Majesty bring Lord Shangshu here, and ask him which family he has a crush on. When the time comes, Your Majesty will know, and you will only have to give marriage. Since ancient times, marriage has been the order of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker have been agreed to by the Shangshu adults, and Miss Lan will not object to it. This son-in-law was chosen by Lord Shangshu himself, and if something happens in the future, naturally he can't blame His Majesty! Shen Zhiye felt that it was a very tricky matter, but Li Qing felt that it was easy to solve.
Call Lanqiu over and ask if there is a suitable son-in-law. If there is, the emperor will directly give the marriage, what a big face, how many people can't ask for the honor!
"It really is...... It's a good idea. Why didn't I know before, Li Qing, you were so smart? It's so good, but it's not going to work now, Lanqiu is not in a good mood, and he doesn't have time to talk about it. Just wait a few days, and in a few days, Lanqiu will be in a good mood, and call him to the Qinzheng Palace to marry his precious daughter. After listening to Li Qing's words, Shen Zhiye seemed to have been inspired by something, and applauded again and again.
Suddenly, the frowning brows between the eyebrows were soothed, and it was obvious that the master was in a very good mood at this moment.
In the Qinzheng Hall here, Emperor Shen Zhiye has been enlightened by Li Qing until now, and he can be said to be very happy. But on the other hand, Lanqiu's side couldn't keep up his spirits all the way, and he didn't know what was going on. It makes a person who is happy every day so taciturn.
"Master, what did Your Majesty tell you, why are you still so listless here? Isn't it, Miss's business hasn't been done? "Here, Jingyi has been following Lan Qiu's side, and seeing Lan Qiu come out of the Qinzheng Palace, he has not had a smiling face until now.
Lanqiu was upset, and Jingyi didn't want to say much and ask anything. It's just that now that he is about to arrive at the house, Lan Qiu has no intention of speaking, and Jingyi is a little anxious. Jingyi has never seen such a Lanqiu! Lanqiu has always been easy-going as an official, and he has hardly encountered anything unpleasant, let alone sullen and silent all the way like this. Jing Yi was really worried, and seeing that Lan Qiu had been silent, he had the courage to ask boldly.
"Hmmm! Your Majesty means, where is the reason for the Divine Decree to be withdrawn? It's also that we are too anxious, and we want Your Majesty to take back the holy decree for the sake of cherishing our children, but we have forgotten our duty as courtiers. In the end, we are a little arrogant, thinking that Your Majesty trusts and relies on it, so we can walk sideways in this entire Youjing. As everyone knows, the state has national laws and family rules, and how can the holy decree that His Majesty has promulgated be withdrawn casually because of one person or one thing? Lan Qiu sighed and said helplessly to Jingyi.
Over the years, Shen Zhiye has always relied on and trusted the Lan family, but the Lan family has been a little unclear about his identity and status.
