Chapter 533: Marriage Proposal
Qi Zhao had already denied this matter in his heart, but now that his rights were divided by many people, this Dingguo Gong was one of them who helped him, so he couldn't refuse directly.
And even if he refuses, it is difficult to guarantee that someone will not go to the emperor's premise, his father is now eager to open his eyes when he sees the money, and he will definitely agree, and the wealth that Xiaoguang has worked hard to manage will be gone.
"Let me think about it, don't mention it to anyone just yet." Qi Zhao instructed the three of them, and then there was a sense of sending off guests, but Dingguo Gong didn't leave, giving the other two people a look.
The other two quickly retreated.
When the people were gone, Qi Zhao looked at the gleam in Ding Guogong's eyes, and asked when he didn't know what to do: "Is there anything else to do Guogong?" ”
Dingguo Gong said "hmm", and then said: "There are some things that others don't care about Your Highness, but the old minister can't help but think about His Highness, now the East Palace is stable, but His Royal Highness still lacks a hostess in the palace, and His Royal Highness should choose the crown princess." ”
Qi Zhao only married Li Guangchen, and as for Wang Wanning, it was Wang Xusheng's fault.
But in the eyes of outsiders, Qi Zhao was married but did not get married, a concubine was still dead, and the harem was empty at this time, and there was not a single woman.
Qi Zhao was just about to say something, but Dingguo Gong had already spoken to himself, interrupting Qi Zhao: "When His Royal Highness lived in the old minister's house, he should have seen the old minister's granddaughter Yueyue!" ”
Speaking of his beloved granddaughter, the folds on Dingguogong's face were about to open, and he said: "Yueyue is now twenty-eight years old, although it is not a captivating posture, but it is better to be lively and clever, and you can relieve boredom with Your Highness when you are idle......"
Although this is a modest word, the proud tone will not be regarded by anyone, and the granddaughter of Dingguo is a small jasper, and marrying it back is just to relieve boredom.
He said a lot, and seeing that Qi Zhao's face was getting more and more serious, Dingguo Gong didn't come to that set of vain, and his tone became solemn: "What does Your Highness think?" If His Royal Highness is interested, the old minister is waiting at home for His Highness to propose to Yueyue! ”
He couldn't understand this anymore, he just wanted his granddaughter Xu Jiaoyue to be the crown princess.
It's not that he doesn't want money, but before he asked Qi Zhao to pass the words, Qi Zhao said that he had no intention, so he could only go out in person, this prince was saved by him, of course, he couldn't cheap others, he had to put it in his granddaughter's pocket.
Qi Zhao waited for Dingguo Gong to express it clearly, and said no more, revealing an apologetic gaze: "Dingguo Mansion has thousands of gold flowers and moon appearances and knowledgeable knowledge, there are few young ladies in this capital who can compare with her character, but unfortunately Lone has no blessings, Lone has already had a marriage contract, and he can't marry someone else." ”
Yes, Dingguo Gong said that marrying his granddaughter to Qi Zhao must be the position of the crown princess, not the side concubine.
Dingguo Gong disagreed: "His Royal Highness's marriage minister knows, isn't it the young lady of the Xinjian Hou family?" But she has already eloped with Bai Zhanchen, your marriage is nullified, there is no need to mention her again! ”
Qi Zhao's face sank instantly, and said: "Guogong said cautiously, Miss Li was taken away by Bai Zhanchen's rebel thief, she saw it with her own eyes, and there was evidence from others, it was not the elopement that Guogong said, Xiaoguang wanted to be good with whoever she didn't want to elope, she just said it." The people who are important to the national government cannot follow the clouds! ”
The almost unadorned criticism made Dingguo Gong blush, but Ding Guogong did not brush his sleeves away, he said bitterly: "But things have happened, Miss Li's life and death are uncertain, even if she comes back, can His Royal Highness still marry her?" Your Highness, the lord of the East Palace, always wants to marry a wife and have children, so you can't keep delaying your childhood, right?! ”
This is also where Qi Zhao is upset, as long as Xiaoguang is willing to come back, he likes her no matter what, but there is no news from this person for a long time, and the Jinyi guard sent out is about to travel all over the country, which is similar to when he sought medical treatment, and there is still no news of Xiaoguang.
He can keep waiting, but this country can't wait, and I'm afraid that those ministers won't let him continue to wait.
Fortunately, Wang Xusheng has a son, and for the time being, he can still have an excuse not to marry the crown princess, otherwise, those civil officials will force him to death.
Qi Zhao didn't want to talk to Ding Guogong about it anymore, and said with a smile: "Let Guogong worry about it, marriage is not a child's play, I always have to wait, and wait for Miss Li to have news before making a decision!" ”
Ding Guogong frowned, what to say, but seeing that Qi Zhao's eyes gradually cooled down, he was not really without eyes, so he sighed and said: "I hope Your Highness will find Miss Li as soon as possible, and make it clear, you can't always delay like this!" ”
"Lone will definitely find her!" Certain!
Dingguo Gong didn't hear the eagerness and longing in Qi Zhao's words, he thought that Qi Zhao wanted Li Guangchen to come back in order to withdraw from the marriage, so he nodded and said: "Then there is nothing else, the old minister retires!" ”
As soon as the others left, the smile on Qi Zhao's face disappeared, as if a layer of ice had been applied.
The reason why he tolerated Dingguo Gong so much was because Dingguo Gong had hidden him for a period of time and teamed up with him to hide from Wang Xusheng.
But the reason why Dingguo Gong hid him was also because he knew that Wang Xusheng was not afraid, if he was a powerful person, Dingguo Gong would not bother with this idle matter.
It may sound like he has no conscience, but after he became the crown prince, the promise of a given prince at that time was fulfilled in the grain field and one million taels of salt, and if from the perspective of buying and selling, they no longer owe each other.
In other words, even if he really owes Dingguo a favor, he doesn't have to marry his granddaughter to pay it back, so what has he become? Selling meat? Amusing!
Qi Zhao then called the big tree in: "Arrange it, I want to go out of the palace!" ”
Qi Zhao has been very busy since he became the crown prince, dealing with state affairs all day long, rarely going out of the palace, and the previous idle days are gone, Dashu felt sorry for him, thinking that he was going out for a walk, so he didn't ask anything, so he went down to prepare.
Where did Dingguo Gong walk out of the gate of the Prince's Mansion, his Chang Sui Xu Da was already there.
Seeing that Dingguo Gong's expression was not worried, Xu Da asked in a low voice, "The prince hasn't let go of his mouth to marry a wife?!" ”
Xu Da has followed Dingguo Gong for many years and is Dingguo Gong's right-hand man, and Dingguo Gong will not hide anything from him.
Speaking of this, Ding Guogong's face became more and more gloomy; "It's not a lift, if there is no old man, he can sit on the throne of the prince so easily? Hesitant and indecisive, it doesn't look like it can be done, and if you want someone to find it, someone will find my family, and you may not know how old you are, who can afford to wait for him! ”
It seems that the prince really didn't let go, Xu Da asked, "Then what should we do next?" ”
In fact, Dingguo Gong does not have to marry his granddaughter into the palace, firstly, it is beneficial to be a relative, secondly, he has taken a fancy to the prince in Yueyue, and thirdly, he does not want the prince to cross the river and tear down the bridge.
Ding Guogong frowned and said: "Find, find out the little slut of the Li family, find out and see what he has to say!" ”
