Imperial Palace, Shouan Hall.

When Emperor Shang said this, Murong was shocked. He looked up at his father in front of him with a look of disbelief on his face.

Father, why did you make this decision suddenly?

Before this, the queen mother had not revealed any information to her, which meant that the queen mother was not aware of this matter.

Could it be that the father made an impromptu decision, or that he deliberately did not tell his mother about it.

Why?

For a brief moment, thoughts flashed through Murong's mind, thinking about the reasons.

Generally speaking, she has no power to decide on such marriage matters at all. It is decided after discussion between the father and the mother.

Why didn't the father discuss it with the mother this time, but instead asked her for her opinion first?

She would not be so naive as to think that her father was respecting her wishes by being born into the royal family. Such an idea would be extremely stupid.

"Rong'er."

In the palace, Emperor Shang looked at the uncertain legitimate daughter in front of him and asked again, "You haven't told your father what you think yet."

"Father."

Murong recovered from the shock, suppressed the turbulence in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "On the matter of marriage, the father and the mother can make the decision, and the sons and ministers have no right to interfere."

"I haven't had time to talk to your mother about this yet."

Emperor Shang said kindly, "You are my only legitimate daughter. I also want to hear your opinion on your marriage to the Li family's legitimate son."

"My son, I have no objection."

Murong bowed his head and responded, "Everything depends on the father and the queen."

After hearing this, Emperor Shang quietly stared at the legitimate daughter in front of him for a long time, and then calmly said, "I understand. Go down first. I will discuss this matter with your mother."

"My son, please retire."

Murong bowed again, then stood up and left.

Shang Huang looked at the former's leaving figure and walked back to the chess table.

His daughter is indeed much smarter than her brother. She knows how to hide her thoughts and emotions. She knows very well that whether she agrees or disagrees with the marriage, it is not her decision.

Outside Shou'an Palace, Murong walked quickly, his face instantly darkened, and he walked quickly towards Weiyang Palace.

A quarter of an hour later, Murong arrived in front of Weiyang Palace and entered the palace directly.

"What's wrong?"

In the palace, Queen Changsun saw her daughter's ugly face and asked in confusion.

"Mother, something happened."

Murong stepped forward quickly and said in a deep voice, "My father is going to make the Li family imperial merchants, but at the same time, he also wants to arrange a marriage between his daughter and Li Jiaoxi."

"Marriage by appointment?"

When Empress Changsun heard her daughter's words, she was stunned for a moment, and then quickly figured out the reason, with a complicated look on her face.

Your Majesty, it is indeed Your Majesty.

This way of dealing with it is really clever.

It is possible to grant the title of Imperial Merchant to the Li family, but the prerequisite is that there must be members of the royal family in the Li family.

In this way, the royal family can gradually encroach on the Li family's power and business empire.

However, His Majesty's methods are still so ruthless and cruel.

Murong will eventually become a victim of the struggle between the royal family and the Li family.

at the same time.

Li family, inner courtyard.

Under the porch, Li Ziye and Yu Qingxuan sat looking at each other, playing chess quietly.

Behind the two people, there were people eating melons. Holy Lord Yunying and Fu Tianxi each held a small stool and sat there watching the fun, extremely bored.

"By the way, Holy Lord, what did you do two days ago?" Li Ziye asked casually while playing chess.

"Nothing done."

Holy Lord Yunying didn't want to talk more, so he responded, "Just take a stroll."

Li Ziye smiled and didn't ask any more questions.

Lu Wentian left, and the two sides did not fight. The result was good.

It seems that Sister Qiaoer and the Holy Lord appeared together. The situation at that time cannot be said to be good-looking, it can only be said to be quite bad.

It’s not easy even if we don’t fight.

I have to say that Lu Wentian is relatively calm, restrained and quality.

No wonder he is known as the Sword Immortal in White, because he is so elegant and graceful.

"Chen Qiaoer from Confucianism is pretty good."

Holy Lord Yunying seemed to have remembered something and commented, "If we could have met earlier, maybe we could become friends."

"Sister Qiao'er seems to be a few years younger than the Holy Master." Li Ziye said doubtfully.

"What's wrong with how young you are? Age doesn't matter."

Holy Master Yunying showed an unhappy look on his face and responded, "The key is to be in harmony!"

"That's right."

Li Ziye nodded in agreement. In terms of three views, the two of them were indeed in love, and they regretted meeting each other so late.

None have any quality.

Fortunately, Sister Qiaoer came from a Confucian family and had the old man Fa Ru in charge of her. Otherwise, she would have followed Holy Lord Yunying and his bandit master to rob houses and rob houses.

What's going on in this world, are women so eclectic? What about the etiquette and ethics? Not to mention these people, his sister Liyue in Donghai seems to be a bandit. The only difference is that she is a bandit on the sea.

"Young Master, it's your turn."

Across the chess table, Yu Qingxuan saw that the young master was still failing to make a move, so he reminded him softly.

"Huh? Oh."

Li Ziye came to his senses and randomly placed a piece on the chessboard.

"Brother Li, your chess skills seem to be average."

On the side, Fu Tianxi saw the position of the person in front of him and commented.

"You can, you up, no can, no beep!" Li Ziye rolled his eyes and spat back.

"Speak humanly." Fu Tianxi frowned and said.

"If you can, go ahead. If you can't, don't say anything!" Li Ziye translated very thoughtfully.

"Forget it about playing chess. It's too slow. How about we learn two moves?" Fu Tianxi said with a half-smile.

"rough!"

Li Ziye commented, quickly changed the subject, looked at the woman in front of him, and said, "Qingxuan, it's your turn!"

"Um."

Yu Qingxuan nodded and moved aside to consolidate his advantage in the situation.

"Holy Lord, Qingxuan, just playing chess is too boring, how about we make a bet?" Li Ziye took the chess piece, placed it in a random position, and asked.

"What to bet on?"

Holy Lord Yunying asked in confusion, "Winning or losing? In this round, it's obvious that Qingxuan girl is going to win."

"If you don't bet on the outcome of this game, it would be boring."

Li Ziye smiled and said, "We bet on whether the Li family can become an imperial merchant."

"Looking at your proud face, it seems that you already know the outcome of this matter."

Holy Lord Yunying said with a suspicious look on his face, "What's the bet?"

"A cultivation method of Liujia secret blessing."

Li Ziye promised generously, "Pick whichever one you want."

"This slave doesn't know how to fight."

Across the chess table, Yu Qingxuan hesitated and said.

"You win, I'll give you a beautiful Qunan Pearl." Li Ziye responded.

"One skill, plus a Qunan Pearl!"

Upon hearing this, Holy Lord Yunying immediately bargained and increased the price.

"Can."

Li Ziye responded with a smile, "However, you two must have the right reasons, otherwise, it won't count."

"good."

Holy Master Yunying said confidently, "The Dashang royal family will definitely not agree to your request. Your Li family's power and wealth are enough to give the Dashang royal family a headache. How could they still designate your Li family as the royal merchant?"

"

"Qingxuan, what about you?"

Li Ziye smiled and asked without commenting, looking at the woman in front of him.

"I think the royal family should agree."
