Chapter 9: Marriage grant(1/2)

After leaving the Dou family, Qin Hao had just returned to the royal palace. Before his butt was hot, Wang Yuan arrived.

"Your Majesty's oral order, King Xuan Qin will immediately enter the palace to meet you."

Qin Hao's heart moved and announced that he entered the palace late at night. This situation is not common.

I followed Wang Yuan all the way to the Ganqing Palace, but walked into the palace and found that the prince was there too.

Qin Hao was about to bow, but Zhu Jianshen coughed lightly behind the curtain: "It's all his family, so I'll give up the gift."

After saying that, Wang Yuan handed a memorial to Qin Hao.

Qin Hao opened it and saw that it was a report of the disaster from Futing. The magistrate of Futing said that a hurricane had passed through the border, the houses in Futing were destroyed, the people were displaced, and they could not eat enough. He hoped that the court could provide relief to the disaster as soon as possible.

When Zhu Jianshen saw Qin Hao closing the memorial, he did not rush to speak. He couldn't help but sigh. After reading the memorial, the prince immediately knelt down and asked him to provide disaster relief quickly. In fact, judging from the performance of his three sons over the years, his youngest son is more suitable to be the prince. Unfortunately, his background is too poor, and all civil and military officials will not agree.

"Haoer, do you think this disaster should be saved? How should I save it?"

Qin Hao subconsciously glanced at the prince next to him: "The father is the emperor, and all the subjects in the world are father, emperor, and ministers will naturally need to be rescued when they are affected. However, disaster relief must be paid attention to methods. If the funds are just used, the officials below will not be able to protect themselves and deduct the funds for disaster relief. In the end, the court spent money, but the people were not treated. The father was criticized instead."

"My son thinks that a royal relative should be sent to Futing to rescue the disaster, so as to shock those borers."

Zhu Jianshen nodded with satisfaction: "Oh, then who do you think is the most suitable person to go?"

"Of course it is His Highness, His Highness, who is the crown prince of a country. He personally went to the disaster area to help the victims, which shows that the emperor's grace is even more powerful."

Zhu Jianshen was very satisfied with Qin Hao's answer and even gave the prince a special look.

The prince was a little surprised. In his opinion, Qin Hao and King Qing were closer, but today he suddenly spoke for him.

Just when Qin Hao felt that his scene had been finished and he could go back home, he suddenly heard Zhu Jianshen say, "The prince has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and the journey here is dangerous. You brothers should go together, and there is a companion on the way."

Qin Hao was stunned, and then he understood the profound meaning of Zhu Jianshen's move. It seemed that the poison imposed by Queen Wan had already made Zhu Jianshen's body unable to bear it. Is he planning to assist the prince in the future?

What a pity, my father, I want to be in trouble.

"My son follows the order."

Qin Hao and the prince bowed one after another, and the prince stood up and prepared to leave, but Qin Hao had no intention of retreating. Since they had all arranged for the prince to assist him, then shouldn't you take the opportunity to get some benefits?

"Father, the child is not young this year. A brother who is the same age as the child has long been a father. Only one of the sons has not yet been married. I heard that Dou Zhao, the daughter of the Dou family, is dignified and elegant, and is beautiful and wise. If she can get married to the father, the child will be enough for the rest of her life."

The prince paused, and Zhu Jianshen behind the curtain was stunned when he heard this, and then scolded him.

"Marriage events have always been the words of the matchmaker by their parents, so how can you decide..."

As he spoke, he changed his mind and sighed.

"There have been busy with state affairs over the years. I have neglected your marriage. I will just follow your wish."

"Thank you, my father, for your success, my son will leave."

After coming out with the prince, Qin Hao deliberately fell behind the prince one position. The prince kept his hands behind his back and suddenly asked.

"Then Dou Zhao is as good as the ninth brother said? Why did I hear that he is a rebellious person who is in charge of lowly karma?"

Qin Hao retorted: "People only know how to hear and follow others. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will inherit the throne in the future. It is better not to listen to it in the future."

The prince frowned and wanted to argue with Qin Hao, but Qin Hao did not stop and went straight past him.

In the Ganqing Palace, Zhu Jianshen coughed and took a sip of hot tea to relieve it. Then he said to the eunuch general manager Wang Yuan: "Do you think Lao Jiu will be at ease to assist the prince?"

Wang Yuan was so scared that he fell to his knees: "It is about the prince and His Highness of Qin, how dare I speak nonsense."

"Forget it, I don't have trouble for you." Zhu Jianshen sighed, looked at the ink-like night outside the window, and muttered to himself.

"Since you say that you can marry this girl for the rest of your life, I will believe you once for my father."

"Wang Yuan, drafting an order."

The next morning, Dou Shishu suddenly discovered that his colleagues who usually ignored him suddenly smiled and greeted him with great politeness, which made him confused. He was about to inquire about what had happened, but the court meeting had already begun, so he could only temporarily press his doubts.

When he was in court, Wang Xingyi walked to him and said sourly: "Dou Tangguan's voice is really tight enough. Such a big thing has never happened."

"Yen Bo, is there any misunderstanding here? I hope to inform you of what happened." Dou Shishu was confused.

Seeing his confused appearance, Wang Xingyi frowned, and said, "You really don't know?"

"If you really don't know, if you deceive, you will never be promoted."

Seeing that Dou Shishu, who was determined to climb up, actually swears with his promotion, Wang Xingyi believed it a little.

"Last night, Wei Tingzhen, the wife of Duke Jingguo, brought Wei Tingyu, the Marquis of Jining, to the palace to apologize. At this moment, I guess I have discussed the divorce in Dou Mansion."

Dou Shishu was stunned by Wang Xingyi's statement. Wei Tingyu broke off the engagement? The divorce must be a engagement with Dou Zhao, but where did the joy of breaking off the engagement come from?

"I heard that Your Majesty intends to grant your Dou Zhao to His Highness the King of Qin, and he has already entrusted Mr. Wu to be a matchmaker."

Wang Xingyi looked at Dou Shishu who was trapped in self-doubt and said sourly: "It won't take long. The Dou family will be a royal relative. In the future, the little girl will have to worry about Brother Dou's care for her in the Dou family."

The Dou family had no background before, and everyone in the Dou family wanted to sell him the face of the cabinet. Once Dou Zhao married the King of Qin, he would be a royal relative. Not to mention a small member of the cabinet, even the chief minister would not dare to act rashly.

"What did Uncle Yan say? Wang Dou is a family. My younger brother and sister have worked hard for my Dou family over the years. My seventh brother and I both see it and should respect it."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wang Xingyi patted Dou Shishu's shoulder with satisfaction when he heard this, but he didn't know that Dou Shishu's eyes were bending down and had become sharper.

After going to court, Dou Shishu returned to Dou Mansion and saw Wei Tingzhen. Wei Tingyu and his brothers hurried away, and Wang Yingxue was still chasing him unwillingly.

"Fifth brother, I don't know what's wrong with the Jining Marquis Mansion. Is it because my marriage with Sister Zhao? Could it be that my behavior of losing my composure last night was promoted?"

Seeing Wang Yingxue sarcastically applying eye drops to Dou Zhao, Dou Shishu looked straight: "Don't talk nonsense. Since the Jining Marquis' Mansion is here to break off the engagement, then return the betrothal gift soon. Don't delay Zhao Jie'er's good marriage."

Wang Yingxue was confused and curled her lips, "What other good marriage can you have when you are so old and you are dismissed from the engagement."

Dou Shishu ignored her and walked straight to the backyard.

"Fifth Master."

Dou Zhao's martial maid Su Xin bowed and bowed.

Dou Shishu had never had a good expression to the people around Dou Zhao in the past, but now he nodded with a kind look, making Su Xin think she was dazzled.

Backyard, under magnolia trees.

Dou Shiying was telling Dou Zhao and Wei Tingyu the good news of breaking the engagement. Dou Zhao subconsciously thought of Qin Hao: "Is it him?"

"What's him?" Dou Shiying asked in confusion.

"Oh, nothing, I suddenly thought of something else." Dou Zhao said perfunctorily.

Seeing Dou Shishu coming, Dou Zhao's face changed. In her opinion, Dou Shishu was the one who helped his father to take Wang Xingyi as his concubine, so that his mother would be unable to think about it and commit suicide by hanging herself. It was about to be her mother's death day. The one she least wanted to see here was this fifth uncle.

"Fifth Brother."

Dou Shishu just nodded at his younger brother, and then said to Dou Zhao: "Don't run around these days, just stay at home."

"Does the fifth uncle want to confine Dou Zhao? I wonder what Dou Zhao's crime is?" Dou Zhao immediately questioned when he heard this.

Dou Shishu's expression stagnated and said a little embarrassedly: "Sister Zhao, don't misunderstand it, the fifth uncle is also for your own good."

But he didn't know that this completely ignited Dou Zhao's anger and pointed at the magnolia tree and said sternly: "The fifth uncle wanted Wang Yingxue to come in, saying that it was for the sake of the Dou family, but he forced my mother to death. Today he said that it was for my good. Dou Zhao was afraid that he could not bear the blessing of the fifth uncle!"

The anger in Dou Shishu's eyes flashed. If it were normal, he would naturally be unable to resist severe rebukes, and even preach the family law to let this "rebellious" niece know what superiority and inferiority are.

However, today is different from the past. The niece is about to become the princess of Qin. At that time, her future will be bound to the niece. She must not be offended.

"Zhao Jie'er, you have a deep misunderstanding about the fifth uncle. What happened at the beginning was an accident, and the fifth uncle didn't think about it either."

Dou Zhao sneered: "My mother has a life of life. Wu Lao wants to write it off with just one sentence that he doesn't want. Don't you feel it's too relaxed?"

Dou Shiying was so anxious that she pulled Dou Zhao's sleeve: "Sister Zhao, stop talking."

"Forget it, Seventh Brother, please advise Sister Zhao. I still have some official duties, and my brother and sister's death day is more grand." Dou Shishu saw that the gap could not be eliminated for a short time, so he had to leave first.

Dou Shiying looked at his brother's back and turned to Dou Zhao and said, "You shouldn't say that to your fifth uncle. He has also sacrificed a lot in order to shine the Dou family over the years."

"Don't my father think the fifth uncle is a little strange today?" Dou Zhao did not respond, but frowned and looked confused.

"What's strange?"

"If it were the past, if I talked to my fifth uncle like this, I would have been subject to family law for a long time, right?"

Dou Shiying was also a little surprised by Dou Zhao's words. How could the fifth brother, who has always been strict, allow his daughter to "betray the following" like this.

At the same time, the Wu family.

When Wu Shan heard that his grandfather was going to talk to the Dou family, he was shocked: "Who is the grandfather going to talk to the Dou family?"

"Of course it's the eldest lady of the Dou family."

"But, didn't the eldest lady of the Dou family have an engagement with Jining Hou?"

Mr. Wu frowned: "When have you been so concerned about this?"

"No, nothing, it's just that I just went to the Dou Mansion for a banquet yesterday, and today I heard that my grandfather was going to talk to him about his marriage. I was a little curious." Wu Shan wanted to get away with it.

Who is Mr. Wu Ge? The old fox who has experienced three dynasties naturally saw through his little thoughts, but he didn't point it out, but pretended to reveal it casually.

"Your Majesty has issued an order to marry His Highness the King of Qin and Miss Dou's family, and ordered me to be a matchmaker. The emperor's order cannot be delayed and he left."

Wu Shan felt like he was struck by lightning when he heard this: "What are the grandfather talking about His Highness the King of Qin and Dou Zhao?"

"It's true. What a glory to give to your majesty. I believe the Dou family had heard the sound of the wind and was waiting for me to come to my house."

After saying that, Mr. Wu Ge straight out of the mansion without caring about his grandson's reaction. Before getting on the carriage, he did not forget to remind the housekeeper.
