King Xian also did not expect that Emperor Hongyuan would appoint him as the Minister of Zhongshu. Compared with the previous Jing Zhaoyin, he was promoted!
But he was not half happy in his heart, because this official position required him to exchange for marriage.
He kowtowed hurriedly and said: "My dear father, thank you very much."
Emperor Hongyuan said: "Okay! You go back and look for the princess, I'm waiting to drink your wedding wine!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." King Xian said.
His father's words are all about this. If he never gets married, how can he be worthy of his father?
He sighed inwardly.
Does he really want to marry a woman he doesn't love and spend the rest of his life with her?
-
The emperor issued an order for the wise king to get married within a month.
So Concubine Jing simply moved to Prince Xian's Mansion to look for a candidate for his princess.
She found a lot of portraits of official women to show to the wise king, but no matter whether they were immortals descending to earth or powerful people, the wise king shook his head all of them and didn't want any of them.
There were also many dignitaries who personally brought their daughters to the King's house to see him, but the King refused them indifferently without even looking at them.
Seeing her son's appearance, Concubine Jing was so worried that a few more white hairs appeared on her head.
Isn't her son's vision too high?
He doesn't like women who are like gods. What kind of woman is he looking for?
Suddenly, she thought of Liu'er.
Although Liu'er is not very good, she is the only girl besides Princess Li that Liuyun doesn't reject.
Liuyun has been teaching Liuer to read and draw recently. He is very patient and gentle with Liuer.
If they were put together as a pair, they might be a sweet couple.
Thinking of this, she quickly took people to Prince Li's Mansion to find Yun Ruoliu.
At this time, Yun Ruoliu was playing with Nan Feng and Xing'er in the yard.
Yun Ruoyue was lying on the lounge chair next to her, shaking a round fan in her hand and lazily basking in the sun.
"Princess, Concubine Jing is here!" At this time, Feng'er's voice came from outside the yard.
Yun Ruoyue quickly sat up and saw Concubine Jing walking in with a smile on her face.
She stood up hurriedly and said, "My dear, are you here?"
Concubine Jing glanced at Yun Ruoliu next to her and said with a smile: "Yue'er, to be honest, I'm here to see Liu'er."
Yun Ruoliu liked Concubine Jing very much. As soon as he saw her, he walked over with a smile, bowed slightly and said, "Hello, Concubine Jing."
Concubine Jing looked at Yun Ruoliu and found that Yun Ruoliu had become generous, gentle and virtuous after not seeing her for a few months.
Her greeting posture was very standard, her appearance was slim and graceful, and she smiled without showing her teeth, which made Concubine Jing even more satisfied.
She whispered: "Yue'er, Liu'er has grown up too fast! We haven't seen her for a while, and she has become a lot more sensible!"
Yun Ruoliu smiled shyly and said, "Your Majesty, you are too praised. Liu'er didn't understand anything at first. It's all thanks to Sister Yue'er's teaching."
"This child is so humble and grateful. He is such a good child!" Concubine Jing praised.
Yun Ruoyue said: "Madam, I wonder what you want from Liu'er?"
Concubine Jing said sheepishly: "That's it. Didn't the Emperor give an order that Liu Yun should get married within a month?"
"I have looked for many girls for Liu Yun, but he doesn't like any of them. If he doesn't get married, the emperor will definitely be furious."
"Liu Yun has worked hard to get where he is today. I am really afraid that he will fall out of favor again. I also hope that he can get married and have children, so that he can be settled for the rest of his life."
Yun Ruoyue said with concern: "So the queen comes to Liu'er, doesn't she want the wise king to marry Liu'er?"
Concubine Jing nodded hurriedly: "Yes. Concubine Li, apart from you, the only woman Liu Yun is willing to get close to is Liu'er. If Liu'er is willing to marry him, then a happy marriage can be achieved, don't you think?"
When Yun Ruoliu heard this, her face suddenly turned red!
But Yun Ruoyue was very solemn. She looked at Yun Ruoliu and said, "Liu'er, are you willing to marry the wise king?"
Yun Ruoliu lowered her head shyly and said in a voice like a mosquito, "I do, Sister Yue'er."
Hearing this, Concubine Jing was very happy.
She said: "I knew Liu'er was willing. I could tell at a glance that Liu'er liked Liuyun. It seems that there is a chance that this marriage will happen!"
"But is King Xian willing to marry Liu Er? What if he doesn't want to?" Yun Ruoyue said solemnly.
"No, Liu Yun has a good impression of Liu'er. As long as I persuade him more, he will definitely agree."
As Concubine Jing spoke, she suddenly looked around and whispered: "If it really doesn't work, let's give them some medicine. As long as we let them cook the rice, are we still afraid that Liu Yun won't marry her?"
"No!" Yun Ruoyue said coldly, "Empress, you can convince the wise king, but you must not give him medicine. This is related to their reputation, and you will only cause them pain and embarrassment."
Concubine Jing also came to her senses after being reminded by Yun Ruoyue.
She quickly hit herself on the head and said: "I'm sorry, Princess Li, I was out of consideration. I thought that if I let the two of them succeed, they would get married, but I didn't consider Liu'er's reputation. I'm really sorry."
Besides, Liu Yun has such a stubborn temper, if she does this, he will definitely not forgive her.
She didn't want to lose her only son!
She said: "Since Liu'er agrees, how about you go to Prince Xian's Mansion with me, and we can go find Liu Yun together?"
When Liu'er heard this, she nodded shyly.
She quickly grabbed Yun Ruoyue's arm and begged: "Sister, I'm a little embarrassed, can you go with me?"
Yun Ruoyue said, "Liu'er, wouldn't it be too abrupt for us to go to Prince Xian's Mansion now? Why don't you let Concubine Jing find out what Prince Xian has to say first?"
Concubine Jing said: "It's okay, Princess Li. I'll pretend to invite you and Liu'er over to play in a moment, but I won't propose a marriage. I'll test Liu Yun's story again when I have the chance."
"This..." Yun Ruoyue hesitated for a moment. She always felt that it was not good for her daughter's family to come to her first.
It's okay that the wise king likes Liu'er, but if he doesn't like Liu'er, wouldn't it hurt Liu'er's heart?
Concubine Jing saw Yun Ruoyue's worry, and she hurriedly said: "Princess Li, don't worry, I won't tell you directly. Let's dress up Liu'er more beautifully and make Liu Yun's eyes shine. Maybe Liu Yun will
If you like her, you will be willing to marry her."
Yun Ruoliu also took Yun Ruoyue's hand and said, "Sister, just go with me! To be honest, I also want to hear the prince's thoughts with my own ears!"
The prince was so gentle to her and was very patient when teaching her to write.
She always felt that he had a crush on her, so she wanted to know his thoughts.
She also hopes to marry him.
Seeing Liu'er's infatuation with the Xian Wang, Yun Ruoyue couldn't bear to reject her.
She could only nod, "Okay, I'll go with you."
"Thank you, sister." Liu'er said happily.
Yun Ruoyue sighed in her heart. She respected King Xian's thoughts and she would sincerely give her blessing to whomever King Xian marries.
But she also hopes that the wise king can marry Liu'er so that Liu'er will not be sad.
