Chapter 63 Granted Marriage!
Emperor Qing said, "Lord Ye, if I remember correctly, besides your eldest son Ye Wan, do you have a little daughter?"
Ye nodded and said, "Yes, I do have a little daughter named Ye Ling'er, who just turned fifteen this year."
Emperor Qing continued, "You are already fifteen years old, but I don't know if you are married or not?"
Ye Zhong shook his head and said, "We haven't gotten married yet."
"Because my daughter is a martial arts fanatic and has a reckless and active personality, she is different from ordinary girls, so no one dares to propose marriage to her."
"This has been a headache for me for a long time."
"Really?" Emperor Qing said with a smile, "Then do you think she is suitable for the second brother?"
"What?" Ye Chong was stunned for a moment, wondering if he had heard it wrong.
Emperor Qing continued to smile and said, "I am saying that I want to marry your little daughter to the Second Prince. What do you think?"
“This…this.” Ye Zhong didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Although he had never come into contact with the second prince, he knew him a little bit.
Logically speaking, being able to marry into the royal family is something that countless ministers in the court dream of.
However, the dispute between the second prince and the crown prince has now become known to everyone in the court.
So, this is not as simple as just getting married.
However, since His Majesty did this, there must be a reason for it.
After all, he has always respected Your Majesty from beginning to end.
Ye Zhong immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
"Since Your Majesty thinks highly of the Ye family, then I will naturally not refuse, but..."
Emperor Qing said, "Are you afraid that my daughter will not agree?"
Ye Zhong smiled awkwardly and said, "That's not the case. Since ancient times, marriage has always been decided by parents and matchmakers. How can a child decide that?"
"I just think that I am a reckless girl and a martial arts fanatic. How can I be qualified to marry the Second Prince?"
Emperor Qing smiled and said, "So you care about this."
"It doesn't matter. I think your little girl is very suitable."
As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Chong instantly understood what His Majesty meant.
It seems that His Majesty has already decided to marry my daughter to the Second Prince.
In that case, he naturally didn't say anything more.
Ye Zhong stood up and bowed to Emperor Qing, saying, "Then I, your Majesty, would like to thank you for your kindness on behalf of my daughter."
Emperor Qing nodded and said, "If that's the case, I will grant you the marriage in the future. You can go back and prepare."
Ye Chonghui said: "Yes, I will take my leave."
After Ye Zhong turned and left, Emperor Qing stood up from the desk, put his hands behind his back, and wandered there for a moment, as if thinking about something.
……
the other side.
Li Chengze rode in a sedan chair from the prince's mansion all the way to the palace.
Because there was a eunuch leading the way, there was no obstruction when they encountered checkpoints and they had a smooth journey.
Soon, they entered the palace and came to the side hall where Concubine Shu lived.
"stop!"
The eunuch stretched out his hand to stop the sedan chair, walked quickly to the front of it, and said respectfully:
"Your Highness, we have arrived."
Li Chengze stepped down from the sedan chair, glanced at the eunuch beside him, nodded, and said, "Okay, thank you, eunuch."
The eunuch nodded and smiled, "Your Highness, you are joking. This is what I should do."
Li Chengze smiled, took out a few hundred-liang silver notes from his pocket and handed them to the eunuch.
"Please take care of me more in the future, father-in-law."
The eunuch saw this, took the banknote, and smiled like a flower, saying: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I know what to do."
Li Chengze nodded, said nothing more, and walked directly into the side hall.
The reason why he had to give the eunuch money just now was naturally because of his mother's matter. After all, these eunuchs often walked around here, and after receiving his money, many things became very convenient.
Soon, Li Chengze arrived at the side hall.
However, the side hall was empty at this moment.
Li Chengze knew where his mother was, so he walked straight through the main hall and came to a study room at the back.
The entire study is filled with several tall bookshelves, which are filled with different kinds of books.
Next to one of the bookshelves, there was a middle-aged woman standing, currently reading a book.
When Li Chengze saw the middle-aged woman, he immediately walked over, bowed and said:
"My son, I have met my mother."
After hearing the voice, Concubine Shu came back to her senses, turned around and looked at Li Chengze, smiling:
"Zer is here."
Li Chengze nodded and said, "Mother, I wonder why you called me here?"
Concubine Shu put the book in her hand into one of the bookshelves, reached out and took Li Chengze's wrist, and walked forward.
"My mother asked you to come here, so there must be something good."
"Good news?" Li Chengze looked at Concubine Shu with a confused look on his face.
His mother usually stayed in the deep palace and basically had no contact with others. She only liked to indulge in the world of books.
If that's the case, what's the good news?
I saw Concubine Shu walked to the table and chair next to her and sat down, then smiled at Li Chengze and said, "Ze'er, you are already grown up, it's time to consider marrying a princess."
Princess Na?
When Li Chengze heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that the good thing mother was talking about is for him to marry a princess?
He hasn't thought about this matter yet.
Concubine Shu continued, "Yesterday, your father sent down a message that he will grant you a marriage soon."
"When the time comes, mother will definitely make it a grand occasion for you."
"After you get married, mother's greatest wish will be fulfilled."
"While your mother is still young, I can help you take care of the children you give birth to in a few years."
"Wait a minute!!!" Li Chengze interrupted Concubine Shu and said, "Mother, wait a minute, why is the child involved?"
"When did the emperor grant the marriage? How come I don't know anything about it?"
"Also, who is the woman?"
Concubine Shu smiled and said, "You know the woman, and you know her very well."
know?
Still familiar?
Li Chengze's face lit up with joy.
Could it be Lin Wan'er?
Could it be that Emperor Qing, the old man, saw that he had a good relationship with Lin Wan'er recently, so he wanted to help them?
At this time, Concubine Shu said: "It's a girl from the Ye family, her name seems to be Ye something..."
When Li Chengze heard this, he exclaimed, "Ye Ling'er?"
Concubine Shu nodded and said, "Yes, it is Ye Ling'er."
"It seems that what your father said was right. You two have known each other for a long time. It is said that she is also good-looking and is completely worthy of you."
Hey!
Why was the marriage granted suddenly?
Li Chengze was extremely surprised.
According to the time in the original book, isn't the marriage still more than a year away?
How……
Could it be that he changed the plot of the original work, causing many things to happen earlier?
If that's the case, it's not necessarily a bad thing.
However, this inexplicable arranged marriage was a little hard for him to accept.
Could it be that Emperor Qing is up to some conspiracy?
Moreover, if he and Ye Ling'er were granted marriage.
What about Lin Wan'er?
