Chapter 14: Liu Susu
This also made Chen Muda breathe a sigh of relief.
If that living ancestor was really arranged for him, wouldn't his dream of having a group of wives and concubines be shattered?
However, this household book can be regarded as a wake-up call for Chen Xingtian and Chen Mu.
When the crown prince is no longer small, it is time to set up a crown princess.
Chen Xingtian immediately mentioned this matter to Chen Mu
"Son, among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, the daughters of the ministers' families, do you have a favorite?"
Chen Mu carefully searched his memories, and then replied.
"The youngest daughter of Prime Minister Liu's family, Liu Susu."
In the memory of the original prince, I saw this Liu Susu when I was a child, and we played together for a while, and the relationship was not bad.
And it was not until Chen Mu was made the crown prince that the two gradually became estranged.
And according to Liu Susu in Chen Mu's memory, although her appearance cannot be said to be a sinking fish and a goose, and a shy flower in the closed moon, she is also a rare beauty.
Moreover, Liu Susu was born in a famous family, and as his concubine, he can be regarded as a good match.
Moreover, Liu Susu is gentle and virtuous, knowledgeable, and it is a good choice to marry home.
Chen Xingtian also nodded, very much in recognition of Chen Mu's choice.
Of course, what he thinks is different from what Chen Mu thinks.
In his opinion, Prime Minister Liu Cheng was loyal to him when he was still the prince, and ensured that he sat on the throne of God all the way.
When it comes to loyalty, there are few people in the Manchu court who can compare with him.
Moreover, Prime Minister Liu Cheng has always been low-key and cautious, and he has never participated in open and secret battles in the court.
Although he is said to be the prime minister and holds great power, he has never abused his power, and has always been conscientious and dedicated to his duties.
All in all, with Prime Minister Liu's character, he will not do anything too much just because his daughter has become the crown princess.
As for the prime minister's daughter, this is also worthy of the position of the crown princess.
"Well, I've been looking for an opportunity to marry you two recently." Thinking of this, Chen Xingtian agreed.
"Before that, you better go to Miss Liu's family first."
It is exactly what Chen Mu wants.
In the afternoon of the same day, Chen Mu prepared a gift, changed into a simple dress, and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to visit his fiancée.
"Who are you, this son?" The family at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion stopped Chen Mu.
"Go and tell the prime minister of your family, just say that Chen Mu is coming to visit and ask him to come out to meet."
A family member ran in to report, and soon, Prime Minister Liu Cheng trotted all the way from the house to the door.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince." When he arrived at the door, Liu Cheng hurriedly saluted, "I don't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is married, and the ministers have missed the welcome, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”
Chen Mu helped himself, the future father-in-law, up.
"Prime Minister Liu, you don't have to be so polite, under the court, you and I are casual." Chen Mu handed the gift he brought to the family.
Prime Minister Liu Cheng looked a little flattered, and hurriedly invited Chen Mu into the house.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, I didn't know that you were here, but there are state affairs to discuss?" Prime Minister Liu asked cautiously.
"Could it be that there is something wrong with the new deal and it needs to be ......"
Chen Mu raised his hand and waved.
"Lord Liu is too worried, I am not here for state affairs, but for private affairs."
"Private?" Prime Minister Liu Cheng was stunned.
What private affairs can the prince have to find him?
Chen Mu pondered for a moment and asked.
"Prime Minister Liu, Miss Su Su has always been good?"
"Back to the prince, there is Prince Lao who is worried, and the little girl has always been fine."
"Have you ever been married?"
"No, I didn't. There have been many people who have come to propose marriage to the ministers, but the little girls can't look down on them, so they all shirk it. Liu Cheng said truthfully, "I don't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly asked about this?" ”
The words have come to this, and Chen Mu will no longer hide it.
"Master Liu, I won't go around in circles with you, just go straight to the point." Chen Mu adjusted his sitting posture and continued.
"I intend to marry Miss Su Su and be my crown princess."
After saying a word, Liu Cheng's eyes suddenly widened in shock.
He knew that the court and the central government had recently quarreled over the appointment of a concubine for the crown prince, and all the ministers who had daughters of the right age in the family had racked their brains to have a relationship with the prince recently.
Prime Minister Liu Cheng thought that he couldn't compete with them, so he never thought of stealing the limelight from beginning to end.
But he never expected that this matter could really fall on his head.
"Minister...... The minister first fell in love with the little daughter Prince Xie, but the emperor ......"
"My father already knows about this and intends to marry us."
Chen Mu is no problem here, but there is still a worry in Prime Minister Liu's heart.
What he just said is true, there are indeed many people who have admired the beauty of their youngest daughter over the years and come to the door to propose marriage.
Many of them are eunuchs, even princes and nobles.
But he didn't know that Wei Zhenmei was not only a little bit of a young daughter, but also had a strong temperament.
None of those who came to the door to propose marriage could get into her eyes, even if Prime Minister Liu persuaded her, it was useless.
Right now, what Prime Minister Liu is most worried about is how his daughter will end up if she rejects the prince.
Chen Mu saw that something was not quite right with Prime Minister Liu's face.
"Lord Liu, is there any difficulty?"
Prime Minister Liu Cheng was indeed honest, so he told Chen Mu his worries truthfully.
Chen Mu listened and smiled slightly.
"Then please invite Miss Susu to meet her."
For this, Chen Mu is not very worried.
Judging from the memory, this Liu Susu must have a good impression of himself.
In addition, this time it was the emperor's marriage, and this well-informed girl would not refuse.
Seeing that Chen Mu didn't mean to be angry, Liu Cheng hurriedly agreed again and again, and ordered someone to bring his little daughter here.
Not long after, with a clanging sound from far and near, Liu Susu came to Chen Mu.
The moment he saw Liu Susu, Chen Mu couldn't help but secretly scream a beauty in his heart.
Seeing real people and recalling with your brain are really two different concepts.
This Liu Susu is worthy of being everyone's lady, with an elegant temperament, extremely light makeup on her face, and she looks as cute as a hibiscus out of the water.
"I've seen my father, I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince."
Chen Mu personally stepped forward to support Liu Susu.
"Miss Susu, I haven't seen you for many years, don't come here to be harmed, right?"
Liu Susu raised his eyes and looked at Chen Mu, and his cheeks quickly became crimson.
"With His Royal Highness Prince Lao in mind, everything is fine."
Liu Susu's voice is as soft and beautiful as her people.
When Chen Mu heard this, he only felt his heart fluttering.
Prime Minister Liu hurriedly stood up and showed Liu Susu Chen Mu's intention.
"Su Su, now, the emperor intends to marry you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and make you the crown princess, are you willing?"
