Princess Ji said bitterly: "My guess is absolutely correct. That bitch really had Meng Yue's idea. When the princess was getting married, he gave her away to marry him. His thoughts were not pure, just to find a partner. This
One time, there was a wealthy businessman from the south of the Yangtze River named Li Chao who came to Lengzhai for a wedding banquet. He started his business as a silk and satin shop and had a rich family fortune. He actually made a plan to meet his in-laws."
Yuan Qingling thought it was ridiculous, "He said he was going to deal with his in-laws, right? I'm afraid the palace still has to make the final decision on the princess's marriage, right?"
"My father is now trying to win over businessmen, so I'm afraid he won't object too much. If he puts in some effort to be cunning, my father may not agree." Princess Ji punched the coffee table, her eyes red, "Meng Yue is only twelve years old.
, he is really crazy."
"Yes, Meng Yue is only twelve years old, so what if we decide to get married?" Yuan Qingling really didn't understand King Ji's thinking.
Princess Ji said coldly: "He thought that I had the connections I have today with money. There are still people who support him now. This is all because of his status as the emperor's eldest son, but...
"She looked outside and lowered her voice and said: "But if you want to recruit troops, recruit counselors and wise men, you still have to spend a lot of money. He just wants to use other people's money to do big things for him."
Yuan Qingling shook his head, "How long is he going to torment him? Does it make sense? He has never been imprisoned and does not know how to reflect. He blindly torments his family. This kind of person is really worse than a pig or a dog."
Yuan Qingling was very angry because Prince Ji's current behavior was just like that of her good-for-nothing father, who either coaxed women or sold his daughters, in short, he wanted power at all costs.
Princess Ji gritted her teeth and said, "He secretly plotted this matter. He originally wanted to find my mother-in-law without telling me and ask her to ask my father-in-law, but there was someone of mine around him who told me about it."
, I guess he will have to enter the palace tomorrow."
"Don't worry, how do you want me to help you?" Yuan Qingling knew that she was smart and would be able to come up with a solution, so she asked.
"I know that you are familiar with Eunuch Mu Ru and can come up with a sentence or two. Although I have people in the palace, I can't find out where my father is. So, please help me find out if my father really has this kind of talk.
, tell me right away."
Yuan Qingling nodded, "Okay, but what if my father really has this intention? What are you going to do?"
Princess Ji's eyes slowly calmed down, "If that's what you really mean, then please come to the palace with me and beg my father to make him give up his thoughts."
"I'm afraid that once my father decides on something, you and I can't persuade him." Yuan Qingling knew that once Emperor Ming Yuan agreed to the matter, it was for the sake of the next political measures and the overall situation, and he would not compromise easily.
Princess Ji suddenly said: "Take this step first. If your father doesn't listen, then think of other ways and do it step by step."
Yuan Qingling looked at her and felt really bad. Princess Ji had not lived a good life for a few days, and she was in trouble.
She agreed that no matter what Princess Ji planned to do, she would try her best to cooperate for the sake of Meng Yue's happiness.
After seeing off Princess Ji, Yuan Qingling went to the Leng family to find the Fourth Master.
The Fourth Master heard what he meant and smiled sarcastically, "I knew that King Ji was a little unusual. He always talked to Brother Li Chao that night, trying to appear approachable."
"How old is Li Chao's son this year? How is his character?" Yuan Qingling asked.
The fourth master said: "Li Chao has three sons. The one who can be engaged to Princess Meng Yue is probably the second son. He is thirteen years old this year. I don't know the details of his character. But I heard that when he was eleven years old, he beat to death a domestic slave and spent money to cover it up.
Coming down, you can see that it's not much better."
Yuan Qingling's heart suddenly became cold, "You are so young, but you are so cruel? How can Meng Yue marry such a person?"
"Well, it's really inappropriate. Besides, Meng Yue is only twelve years old, so there's no rush to get engaged."
"By the way, is it common for people to get engaged so early? Based on your guess, will my father agree?"
The Fourth Master lazily held an orange kitten in his arms and combed its fur, "It's not uncommon. There are babies with relatives, not to mention those who are twelve years old. Women from aristocratic families get engaged relatively early, in order to stabilize their status.
, most likely they will make a marriage arrangement in advance so that they can join forces in the future."
He raised his head and looked at Yuan Qingling, "As for whether the emperor will agree... With the current situation in Northern Tang Dynasty and what he has to do next, he will not be able to ask for it, because Brother Li Chao is from the Jiangnan area.
The richest man, if he wants to develop vigorously in Jiangnan, the support and cooperation of these local celebrities and wealthy businessmen are indispensable."
