"Yes, there is no doubt about it, it is the fourth princess Xigong Yue, a few days ago, when I was drinking tea in the teahouse, I happened to meet His Royal Highness King Heng Huaiwang and the fourth princess traveling together, and the child was ...... to her fell in love with her at first sight, and asked her father and mother to fulfill it. Saying that, Zhao Lengyun knelt on one knee.

Yin Zhao immediately stepped forward to help his son: "Leng Yun, what are you doing, hurry up, your father and I also hope that you can be happy, since you have fallen in love with the fourth princess, it is inevitable that you can't do it, but we have to think about this matter in the long run." ”

"Yes, what your mother said is right, we really don't know enough about Princess Yue, we have only heard of her living in seclusion in the deep palace for so many years, and the door is not out of the second door, we don't know what it looks like." Zhao Wanshan said slowly.

"Father, mother, I believe in the child, Princess Yue is a very good woman, I believe she is my beloved." Zhao Lengyun has made up his mind, and his mind has been full of Xigong Yue's shadow in the past few days, but he is afraid that he will not give up if he can't marry Xigong Yue.

"Well, although Princess Yue is the adopted daughter of the former emperor, she is also a noble status, and the emperor seems to be good to her, since Leng Yun has taken a fancy to the princess, then I will try to propose marriage to the emperor tomorrow and see what the emperor means." Zhao Wanshan doesn't seem to have much opposition to this matter.

"Thank you, child, daddy." Zhao Lengyun was ecstatic.

"Don't be too complacent, if the emperor doesn't agree, I can't help it." Zhao Wanshan didn't think things were going so smoothly, after all, as long as he was involved with the royal family, things would become complicated.

"Yes, the boy understands." Zhao Lengyun nodded heavily.

The next morning

After the early dynasty, Zhao Wanshan did not leave, and met the emperor alone, but the emperor was quite surprised by his behavior: "Zhao Aiqing, is there something wrong?" ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister wants to propose to the emperor today."

"Propose? For whom? The emperor was stunned for a moment.

"Propose marriage to Zhao Lengyun, the son of the old minister, and propose to Princess Yue." Zhao Wanshan arched his hand and said.

"Oh? Propose marriage for your son Zhao Lengyun? "The emperor obviously didn't have any mental preparation, everything happened too suddenly.

"Exactly, the son of the old minister had a chance to have a relationship with the princess of the moon a few days ago, and fell in love at first sight, and then mentioned this matter to the old minister, and the old minister thought that the princess of the moon happened to have no partner, so he dared to propose marriage to the emperor." Zhao Wanshan was very careful in everything he said in front of the emperor, for fear that something would go wrong.

"Oh, so that's the case, you still have to think about this question, after all, it happened too suddenly, although Princess Yue didn't promise to be married, but I can't make a decision alone, and I have to ask the Queen Mother what she means." The emperor had never thought about this matter before, so it was inconvenient to give any answer for the time being.

"Okay, then I'll wait for good news." After Zhao Wanshan finished speaking, he slowly withdrew from the imperial study.

Tianxuan Palace

"Queen Mother, did you say that it is appropriate to marry Yue'er to General Zhao's youngest son?" Although the Empress Dowager He is over half a hundred years old, she is still vigorous and resolute, and every time there is a major event in the court, the emperor will discuss with his mother.

Empress Dowager He took a sip of tea and said slowly: "There is nothing wrong with it, Yue'er is seventeen years old this year, and she has reached the age of marriage, and the mourning family heard that the son of the Zhao family is also exactly seventeen years old, and the age is very considerable, and Zhao Wanshan is the Qinglong general, the Zhao family has been protecting the country of my Xigong royal family for so many years, and it is also suitable to marry a princess, not to mention that Yue'er is not the orthodox bloodline of the Xigong family, so there is no grievance." ”

"Queen Mother, don't say that, although Yue'er is the adopted daughter of Concubine Ling'er, if it wasn't Yue'er back then, I'm afraid Erchen would have ...... long ago?" The emperor said that he did not continue to talk here, but the Empress Dowager He already knew what he wanted to say.

So he secretly sighed: "Your Majesty, what do you want to say, the Mourning family knows, if it wasn't for her back then, I'm afraid the emperor wouldn't be able to go smoothly until now, but because of that incident, the Mourning family has always been good to her, and also gave Xiuyue Palace to her, so many years, the Mourning family has not been thin on her, but the Mourning family wants to advise the emperor, after all, she is a daughter's family, and it is not a long-term plan to stay in the palace, after all, she has to marry, then the Zhao family is really good, and Yue'er will not be wronged after all." ”

After listening to the queen mother's persuasion, the emperor nodded slightly, knowing that the queen mother's words were extremely reasonable, so he said: "The queen mother is right, this matter, I also think so, then I will prepare a holy decree in a while, announce this marriage, the Zhao family marrying Yue'er is much less threatening than marrying those powerful families." ”

The Queen Mother nodded appreciatively: "The emperor is right, and the mourning family thinks so too." ”

"That's good, queen mother, the sons will retire first." After the emperor and the queen mother asked for peace, he returned to the imperial study and immediately prepared the holy decree, and then the holy decree was quickly transmitted to the Zhao family, and the Zhao family received the holy decree, and the whole was jubilant, especially Zhao Lengyun, which can be said to have fulfilled his wish.

Xiuyue Palace

Xigong Yue is playing the guqin in a melancholy manner, she has been like this since she was a child, her personality is very withdrawn, she rarely goes out of the palace, and she rarely interacts with others, if it wasn't for the emperor who took the initiative to ask Xigong Jin to take her out to play last time, she really didn't go out to death.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the slave maid just heard about a big event." Although Xiuyue Palace is big, there are not many slaves inside and outside, and the goddess of the small palace walked in in in a panic to pray.

"What's all the fuss about?" Xigong Yue asked coldly, not even raising her eyelids.

"Your Royal Highness the princess, the slave maid just heard that the whole palace is talking about the princess's marriage, and it is said that the emperor has made a holy decree." The little palace maid said hurriedly.

With a bang, the strings broke, and Nishigong Yue frowned and asked, "My marriage?" The emperor issued a holy decree? But...... How did I not know in the slightest? ”

She was a little hard to believe that the emperor had always been very good to her, and if she really got married, she wouldn't even notify her.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished saying this, a sharp voice shouted from outside the door, "Holy Decree." ”

Xigong Yue, who heard these three words, was extremely uncomfortable, and she vaguely felt a hint of ominous premonition.

The father-in-law who read the holy decree walked in, and everyone in Xiuyue Palace immediately knelt down to obey the order, only to hear the father-in-law clear his throat and say word by word: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, the son of Zhao Wanshan, the general of the Qinglong Dynasty, is young and promising, and the Zhao family has protected the royal family for many years. ”

"Thank you...... Emperor's Grace. As if she had been hit hard, Xigong Yue suddenly collapsed to the ground after saying this sentence in a distracted manner.

"Princess, princess, what's wrong with you?" The maidservant beside her was quick and held Xigong Yue.

"How is this possible? Brother Huang, how could he do this? Xigongyue has always understood the emperor's thoughts, since that incident happened that year, the emperor has always been very good to himself, how could he give her a marriage for no reason, without even her consent, Xigongyue couldn't accept it for a while.
