In the past year, Feng Yunzheng had repeatedly done meritorious service, but he had never considered himself a meritorious person. On the contrary, he would often deliberately downplay his meritorious service. The emperor was very satisfied with this point.
"Zheng'er …" Imperial Concubine Liang also looked at her son. Suddenly, she felt a bit nervous. Zheng'er had told him about someone she wanted, and she now knew that that person was the first-in-line daughter of the Prime Minister — Lian Ruyue. What if the Emperor didn't agree?
"Father, I already have someone I like in my heart." Feng Yunzheng replied.
"Oh? The Emperor was extremely curious and said, "I would like to know who that person is, but he's worthy of being my son."
"This son thinks that she is the only one in his life who can match up to this son, but she is not yet of the age of fifty, and this son did not want to scare her, so he did not want to wait until the age of fifty to express his feelings. Since royal father has asked, this son should have told her beforehand, so as to not miss it. When the time comes, this son shall kneel and request royal father to grant him the marriage. "
The best thing she could care about was getting married and announcing to the world that she belonged to him.
"Hahaha …" When Zhou Cheng Di heard this, he laughed heartily and said, "Zheng'er's actions have the demeanor of a loyal child. Alright, since that's the case, then I'll wait for your news and see whose girl has entered my eyes."
"Thank you, Imperial Father."
"This concubine thanks Your Majesty for remembering me." Imperial Concubine Liang looked gratefully at Zhou Chengdi and said, "I also hope that Your Majesty will give us your best wishes." Even though she was being doted on, in this deep palace, she had to deal with all sorts of conflicts of interest between the concubines. She could only hope that her children would have a single person in their entire lives, a relationship that was completely unrelated to them.
"Of course, this is what I want. Zheng'er will have great accomplishments in the future, and I will naturally take his wangfei seriously as well. I also hope that he will marry the one I like." The emperor's words caused the imperial concubine and Feng Yunzheng to lightly glance at each other. Is the Emperor hinting at something?
After leaving the palace, Feng Yunzheng's mood was exceptionally bright —
Yes, he should be married.
In his previous life, he had never been married before. Even until his death, he had been alone, and he had never known what it felt like to be in the company of others.
Marry? As the word flashed through his mind, his face slowly broke out into a smile. The sharp lines on his face were extremely gentle.
When Ye Feng saw the smile on her master's face when he left the palace, he secretly glanced at her a few times instead of his usual aloof and distant appearance. He was so happy, so much so that he probably had something to do with her.
"Your Highness, you're very happy."
"Ah, Ye Feng, this prince is going to the Prime Minister's estate to propose marriage. I'll make Yue'er my consort." Feng Yunzheng looked at his subordinate with an expression of longing.
Your Highness' hard-earned secret love is finally coming to an end. I congratulate Your Highness and congratulate you. Our Prince Heng's estate is finally going to have a mistress now. In the future, the wangfei will give Your Highness another batch of young princesses. Ye Feng was extremely happy when he heard that his master was preparing to openly reveal his intentions to the young miss.
Only he knew how much the Ninth Prince valued his eldest miss.
"However, she hasn't reached her prime yet, so she can only fix it as a marriage proposal. Half a year later, at the age of 15, she will be engaged three times in six ceremonies, and then openly propose." He had originally wanted to wait until the age of thirty to prevent unnecessary trouble, but today, his royal father had already urged him to get married. If he did not express his feelings, his royal father would send someone else to give him the marriage, and he would reject it, which would bring Yue'er unnecessary trouble.
Prime Minister's Estate.
At the Immortal Lotus Courtyard, the beautiful young woman said as she walked in front of Lian Xiyue, "Eldest Miss, your servant just saw Ninth Prince. At the Immortal Lotus Courtyard, the beautiful woman said as she walked in front of Lian Xiyue, and said," Eldest Miss, your servant just saw Ninth Prince.
Lian Ruyue was fiddling with a water fairy that had just sprouted flowers. When she heard this news, she was slightly surprised and said, "Probably to talk to father about political matters at court."
She continued watering the flowers, but her mind involuntarily recalled the scene at Uncle and Aunt's home two days ago …
She touched her broken arm. It had recovered, but the pain was still vivid in her mind.
After she had returned to her residence that day, Feng Yunzheng sent over through her cold brows the strange ointment she had specially found. She only recovered so quickly when she had to be applied daily by her cold brows.
Lian Ruoyue's lips couldn't help but form a light smile. Like fireworks, it was dazzling and then fleeting.
Lian Yanqing's study.
Now that Feng Yunzheng was in the limelight, his position in front of the emperor had already surpassed that of the once most famous eighth prince, Feng Ye. There were even a few important officials in the imperial court who were discussing privately that the emperor had the intention of making the ninth prince the ruler.
"Prime Minister, please stand. There's no need to be overly courteous. Please take a seat." Feng Yunzheng sat on a rosewood chair, raised his hand, and said.
"Yes." Lian Yan Qing stood up and sat at the side as he respectfully asked, "May I know what orders Your Highness has for this humble subject?"
With a smile that he never revealed in front of outsiders, the night breeze brought a large gift in front of Lian Yanqing with both hands and said, "Prime Minister, this is His Highness' favor, I ask Prime Minister to kindly accept it."
Lian Yan Qing looked at the big gift in front of him and immediately felt very surprised. He hurriedly stood up and said, "This … this humble subject is truly terrified. Please instruct me."
Feng Yunzheng said, "There is no need to be nervous, I still have a place to trouble you in the future."
"Yes, yes." Lian Yanqing muttered to himself. He had always maintained the attitude of keeping his distance from the other princes and did not get too close with any faction. What did Ninth Prince's sudden goodwill mean?
At this moment, Feng Yunzheng stood up and solemnly cupped his hands towards Lian Yan Qing. He slightly bowed and said, "This duke has the intention of marrying the noble palace's eldest daughter, Lian Rue, as the wangfei. This duke wishes to first greet you and then formally propose you to me when the time comes.
"…" What? Could it be that the Ninth Prince was going to book a Moon Child? Lian Yan Qing's heart violently shook and his expression instantly changed.
This king is worried that if royal father were to grant me a marriage, it would cause trouble, so I came here to obtain the acknowledgement of the emperor before revealing myself to Eldest Miss. Then, I would return to the palace to report to royal father and have him give up on the idea of bestowing a marriage to someone else. Feng Yunzheng explained.
When Lian Yan Qing heard this, his face paled and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He nervously asked, "Your Highness, have you told the emperor that the person you want to propose marriage to is Yue Er?"
"Not yet. This King has to first get Moon Child's consent before saying anything. According to the rules, This King has to first greet the company." No matter if it was his previous life or his current one, he only wanted Yue'er. However, in terms of etiquette, he had to use a continuous extension of the celebration to prevent others from saying that Yue'er was destined to remain unmarried for the rest of her life.
When Lian Yan Qing heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good. It's just that, it's just that …" For the sake of looking at Feng Yunzheng, he frowned. He did not know what kind of consequences would follow from his next words, but he had no choice but to say —
"But what?" Feng Yunzheng hurriedly asked.
With both hands holding the grand gift Feng Yunzheng had bestowed upon him, Lian Yanqing fell to his knees and said, "This humble subject is guilty. Please take back this great gift, Your Highness. This humble subject truly cannot accept it. "
Feng Yunzheng's expression immediately froze as he asked, "Why? Are you not satisfied with this duke?"
"No, no, no. Your Highness is a dragon among men. This humble subject can't even make it in time, how could I dare to turn my back on you?" Lian Yanqing hurriedly said.
"That is …" Yue Er is already interested in him? " When Feng Yunzheng asked this question, he felt as if his heart had suddenly been pierced by a needle and shrunk into a ball — —
Yue Er already had someone she liked?
"Not really."
"Then for what reason, why did you reject This King so straightforwardly?" Feng Yunzheng didn't understand and asked.
"Because, because …" "Because the emperor has set his eyes on Yue'er and wants to take her as his concubine. Not only Ninth Prince, but anyone else who pleads with Yue'er, this humble subject cannot agree. I can only raise her well in the Prime Minister's Estate, and when she reaches the prime of her youth, I will send her to the palace. For, for the emperor, so please stop thinking about Yue'er."
