Time has been particularly kind to Xie Mingxi, and her beautiful face has almost no vicissitudes or wrinkles, only a mature charm.
As for Fang Ruomeng, perhaps because she was worried about her eldest son, she had a few more white hairs on her temples and wrinkles on her forehead. At this time, she smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Your Majesty is sharp and sharp, in front of your Majesty."
, I won’t be secretive anymore. I won’t hide it from your Majesty, I have fallen in love with Zijin.”
Xie Mingxi's expression remained unchanged and she smiled slightly: "I don't hide anything from Sister Fang. Sister Fang is not the only one who asks me to be Zijin's matchmaker."
Since Xie Zijin got his hairpin, almost all the people who went to Xie's family to propose marriage had crossed the threshold. There were also many noble ladies who were eligible to enter the palace and pay respects to the queen.
Fang Ruomeng is not the first, and presumably he will not be the last.
Fang Ruomeng had already been mentally prepared. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "There is a girl in the family who is asking for help from all over the world. For such an outstanding girl as Zijin, there are countless people who want to marry her as their daughter-in-law. I opened my mouth shamelessly today to ask you in private."
I asked the Xie family what they meant. The Xie family nodded, and I invited the official media to come to our house to propose marriage. If the Xie family doesn't like Brother Qin, just pretend that I didn't say anything."
How cunning!
She opened her mouth in person, how could the Xie family not think carefully?
Xie Mingxi smiled: "Sister Fang has worked hard to find a good daughter-in-law."
"Isn't that true?" Fang Ruo dreamed that Xie Mingxi had no intention of rejecting her, and she felt relieved and replied with a smile: "Brother Yu has married Princess Duanyi. Now that the couple is in love and harmony, I have nothing to worry about.
Now all my thoughts are focused on Qing Geer."
"Brother Qin is the great-eldest grandson and will take over the Li family's business in the future. His daughter-in-law will also be the wife of the Li family in the future. I will ask for a good wife for him."
Furthermore, Fang Ruomeng still has hidden thoughts in her heart that are inconvenient for humanity.
Princess Duanrong was noble, outstanding in talent and appearance, and gentle in temperament. Among all the beauties in the capital, there were very few who could surpass Princess Duanrong.
It's a pity that Brother Qin and Princess Duanrong are not destined to be husband and wife.
She wants to marry a more outstanding girl for Brother Qin!
Except for being slightly older, Li Qin is first-rate in terms of family background, talent, appearance, and character.
Xie Mingxi thought for a moment and then agreed: "Okay, on New Year's Day, when the Xie family members enter the palace to pay their respects, I would like to mention one thing. Whether the marriage will happen or not will depend on whether the two of them are destined."
Fang Ruomeng smiled hurriedly and said: "No matter what, I would like to thank the Queen first."
…
Whether a marriage can happen or not depends not only on fate, but also on the sincerity and attitude of the person seeking marriage.
Yin Xiaoxiao had spent more than half a year thinking about the marriage between Brother Lin and Brother Ting. If Yin Xiaoxiao allowed the word "fate" to prevail, I'm afraid both Brother Lin and Brother Ting would be devastated.
After Fang Ruomeng made up his mind, he had to work hard.
The relationship between the Li family and the Xie family is not very deep, but they do have some contacts.
Taking advantage of the end of the year, Fang Ruomeng prepared a generous new year's gift and sent it to Li Qin to Xie's family.
Li Qin couldn't resist his mother, so he reluctantly went to Xie's Mansion.
Of course, Xie Zijin was not in the palace. The princess was several months pregnant and was still busy with political affairs. Xie Zijin was busy every day, leaving early and returning late, but was nowhere to be seen.
Fang Ruomeng asked Li Qin to go to Xie's house, which was actually to show his son in front of his future mother-in-law.
The Sun family is not stupid either. The Li family, who had only a mediocre relationship, suddenly sent a generous gift and ordered Li Qin to deliver it in person. The meaning of this was for the mother-in-law of a daughter who was famous in the capital and had many suitors in the capital.
Not difficult to interpret.
Mrs. Sun looked at Li Qin calmly, her attitude was gentle and polite.
Li Qin has passed the age of weak crown. He has been serving as the county magistrate for a few years. His youthfulness has gone away. He is calm and handsome, and his words are meaningful. When he meets him, he compares with all the outstanding young people in the capital that Sun has seen.
After Li Qin left, Mrs. Sun happily went to the study and said to Xie Yuanting: "The Li family sent Mr. Li as a New Year gift. It seems that they have fallen in love with Zi Jin and want to get married."
Xie Yuanting snorted impatiently: "Li Qin is almost twenty-two and is six years older than our Zijin. The age difference is too big and they are not a good match."
Sun's idea was just the opposite: "We, Zijin, are young and talented, and are extremely intelligent. Now we are serving as an official in Zhanshifu of the East Palace. Most of the young men of the same age are still studying. With Zijin's eyes, how can we compare with those of us?"
A young and immature boy?"
It makes sense to say so.
A person's life experience determines the height of his or her vision to a large extent.
Xie Zijin has been in the Zhanshi Mansion in the East Palace for a year. All he has seen and heard is the political affairs of the court, and his whole person has grown and matured rapidly. Now that Xie Zijin is back home, he mostly goes to the study with his grandfather to talk and discuss matters, but not much with his biological father.
Enough to say.
Such Xie Zijin, how many young men in the world can stand shoulder to shoulder with her?
Xie Yuanting frowned and said: "Zi Jin is still young, so the marriage is not urgent for the time being. Moreover, the Li family will also propose marriage in the future, so we just don't know about it."
…
New Year's Day, the eighteenth year of Jianye's founding year, arrived amid falling snowflakes.
Xie Zijin neatly dressed himself, put on special official uniforms, and entered the Jinluan Palace with his grandfather and two uncles. On the first day of the new year, the emperor led his ministers to worship heaven and ancestors, and the emperor's concubine accompanied him.
Xie Zijin's official position was low, but there were only two women serving as officials in the court, and one of them was far away in Shu. Xie Zijin became a red dot among the green bushes, which stood out.
The young and beautiful girl suppressed the excitement in her heart and stood calmly beside Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, quietly holding her arm.
This was the first time for Xie Zijin to participate in such a grand ceremony to worship the heaven. There was no reason why he wasn't nervous. But he hid it well and didn't show it.
Her hand holding the princess's arm was trembling slightly.
The Crown Princess was dressed in the crown prince's dress, and her swollen belly was mostly covered by the heavy and wide dress. She turned around and smiled at Xie Zijin.
Xie Zijin's nervous mood suddenly calmed down a lot, and he secretly warned himself.
Xie Zijin, Xie Zijin, you still have a lot to learn!
Don’t get carried away by everyone’s praise!
It was not until Zi Shi that Xie Zijin returned to Xie's Mansion.
Her father, mother, and three younger brothers were all awake, waiting for her to come back.
Xie Zijin felt warm in his heart, and smiled and called out one by one. The family chatted for a while, and Mrs. Sun sent her sons to bed first.
Mrs. Sun took Xie Zijin's hand and whispered, "Zijin, I came to the palace today to pay my respects. The queen asked about your marriage, and she even mentioned Mr. Li personally."
Xie Zijin refused without thinking: "Mom, I don't want to get married!"
