525. Chapter 525 Propose Marriage to Shen Mingzhu 【01】
At this time, Shen Can also met King Yan in the Yamen.
On weekdays, King Yan always had the image of a kind and courteous virtuous king, and he had a good relationship with his ministers.
What's more, he is the brother of the late Emperor and the uncle of His Majesty. The Emperor respects him, and the ministers must treat him with respect.
As the head of the civil service, Shen Can would naturally not be scornful of a distinguished family. After a few chats, he discovered that King Yan had come to see him specifically.
Shen Can smiled and said: "Your Majesty, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. We are not the ones who hide things. If we can help, we are naturally willing to do so."
King Yan laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry, Prime Minister Shen. I will never put you in trouble. It has nothing to do with the court, but it is a happy event."
Shen Can was surprised, "What happy event?"
King Yan echoed: "The eldest daughter of the prime minister's family is now a young girl, and there are hundreds of families asking for her. Our royal family has taken a fancy to the eldest daughter, who is dignified, virtuous, knowledgeable, and sensible. Since the eldest prince has canceled the engagement, we are here to propose marriage." There was no opportunity before, but now that we have this opportunity and we miss it, that would be intolerable."
Many young ladies in the capital start seeing each other after they are ten years old. Many of them get married when they are twelve or thirteen years old, and many of them wait until they are fifteen and have hairpins before they get married. , why do you have to be sixteen or seventeen to get married? For all ladies, it is too late.
When Shen Can heard this, he was very happy. King Yan had a reputation as a virtuous man. He had never been interested in political affairs, but he was upright and kind-hearted, and he was praised both at home and abroad. He was as famous as the current Eighth Prince Xiao Wen as a virtuous king, young and old.
Shen Can then asked: "But you are the prince?"
King Yan hurriedly shook his head and said, "I'm ashamed to say that the prince's marriage is not decided by me as the father. It's up to your majesty to propose the marriage. I propose marriage for my other eldest son Xiao Yu."
In other words, he is the eldest son of a concubine?
Shen Can naturally knew that Xiao Yu was a very elegant and handsome young man, with a talented appearance, gentle and polite, and a good young man.
Although they are concubines, the concubines of the royal family are naturally different from the concubines of ordinary families. They are also the descendants of dragons and phoenixes. They are all extremely noble.
Even the eldest son of a concubine and the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion are well matched.
Shen Can was very happy. Originally, because Xiao Che had broken off the engagement, he was afraid that Shen Mingzhu would be sad and afraid that outsiders would talk and despise his daughter, so he thought of finding a good marriage for her.
Since Prince Yan's Palace is interested in him, it is naturally very good, and Princess Yan also regards this eldest son as her own. After marrying into the Prince's Palace, even though she is not an authentic Princess Yan, it will be good to open a family in the future.
Mingzhu is so smart and capable, and if he helps Xiao Yu find a job, he will certainly have a good life in the future.
Although he thinks Xiao Xian is better, Xiao Xian is not as gentle as Xiao Yu after all, and Xiao Xian is a martial artist. Shen Can is still afraid that he is not gentle enough. If he is too rude, it will harm Mingzhu. Moreover, Xiao Xian has to fight all day long. When going to war, there are unpredictable circumstances. If something goes wrong, wouldn't it mean that Mingzhu would become a widow if she married him?
So Shen Can thought Xiao Yu was better. He had met that young man two years ago. He was gentle, polite, and quite fatherly. He was also somewhat similar to the Eighth Prince Xiao Wen.
Shen Can agreed in his heart. King Yan observed his words and was secretly happy.
Shen Can was still a little worried, "I just don't know if the Queen has any ideas.
