Li Chongyang glanced at Mr. Zhou in surprise, and then began to think about the feasibility of the matter.
His Majesty did not grant him a marriage. After all, the Marquis Ning's family was unwilling to give up, so Your Majesty did not care about the matter. However, he could not find a way to get Marquis Chang Ning to let him go, and the most prestigious lady Rong Guogong in the imperial city was married to him.
Mrs. Cao Guogong was unwilling to tell him about his kinship.
Your majesty, elders, and capable matchmakers, these three directions seem to be unworkable. His path to marrying Gu You has been cut off, and now Changning Hou and his wife have differences on the matter.
Zhou is Gu You's biological mother, and she has a certain say in Gu You's marriage. If she helps, this matter may be settled...
It's just that there is a Marquis of Changning in the middle. Although most of the marriages of the children of each family are done by the wives, the Marquis of Changning insisted on getting involved and disagreed on this matter, making the matter somewhat difficult to handle.
Let’s see how capable this Zhou family is.
After a long time, Li Chongyang spoke again: "Tell me what you can do?"
When Ms. Zhou heard his question, she knew that he was also interested in her. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She knew that King Huainan was interested in her daughter. Otherwise, he would not have done such a thing as snatching the bride.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhou also resented Marquis Changning. He would rather marry his daughter to an unworthy family like the Zhao family than marry his daughter into the prince's palace as a princess. What's the point?
This is not his daughter, but his enemy, right?
He doesn't think about his daughter's future, but she also has to think about her daughter.
Zhou thought for a while and said: "In a few days, it will be spring plowing. Every year during spring plowing, the court officials will be busy, and many officials will be sent out."
Spring plowing is related to the livelihood of the people for a year. The imperial court will send some people to various places. Even those who do not need to be dispatched will be busy. At this time of year, the Marquis of Changning is not going out, but he is too busy to stay in the Yamen.
"If the Marquis is sent out by then, the prince might as well invite someone to come and propose marriage." Zhou paused, "By then, the Marquis will not be at home, and my wife is Ayou's biological mother, so it will be natural.
It’s the one who calls the shots.”
"When the time comes, the prince will be quick to make an appointment and write the letter of engagement. Even if the prince comes back, he can no longer regret it."
"Your Majesty, all you need to do is have the Marquis among those sent out for spring plowing this year."
Zhou thought about it for a long time before she found this method. She also identified the good opportunity when Marquis Changning was away. When the marriage was settled and everything was settled, even if Marquis Changning was angry, it would be useless.
You can't regret breaking off the engagement again. Is it possible that the face of the Changning Marquis Mansion is gone?
Li Chongyang raised his high eyebrows and looked down at Mrs. Zhou who was still kneeling on the ground. He had to admit that Mrs. Zhou's idea was indeed a good one. By then the Marquis of Changning would be back, the marriage would be decided, and the betrothal gift would be collected.
, the letter of appointment has also been received, and it is too late to regret it.
"Get up." He said slowly.
Mrs. Zhou breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Mrs. Changninghou, please take a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou sat down at the table with some restraint, and then couldn't help but said: "The prince loves Ayou, and I know it in my heart. As long as the prince treats Ayou well in the future, I will do anything."
Worth it.”
Zhou was actually a little panicked about marrying off the daughter of Marquis Changning and Li Chongyang behind her back. It was for the sake of her daughter that she dared to muster up the courage to do these things.
Her Ayou can only have a future if she marries King Huainan.
"If the prince is more thoughtful, he can also send our A-Xuan out. I'm afraid he will cause trouble then." Mrs. Zhou closed her eyes, "When the father and son are not at home, the prince can come."
Li Chongyang drank a cup of tea and poured himself another cup: "I remember that there is a concubine in your house."
Mrs. Zhou paused slightly when she heard the words, and then said: "My mother-in-law has now lived in Shou'an Hall and no longer cares about the affairs of the family."
However, she then thought about it, if Jiang was at home and learned that Prince Huainan had come to make an appointment, and Marquis Changning and Gu Zhixuan were not around, then Zhou would definitely not let her do whatever she wanted.
Zhou felt that it would be best if Jiang was not at home at that time.
After thinking for a while, she asked: "What do you think the prince should do?"
How to prevent Jiang from being at home is indeed a problem. After thinking for a while, Li Chongyang suddenly remembered something: "I remember that in March last year, the wife of the family went to Yunzhong Temple with her family members to pray for blessings. How about
I’m asking my wife to stay at Yunzhong Temple for a few days.”
Zhou's eyes lit up when he heard this: "It is indeed a good idea, but my wife is stupid and has no reason. I don't know how to get her to go to Yunzhong Temple?"
If you suddenly bring up this kind of thing for no reason, I'm afraid even Jiang will become suspicious.
Li Chongyang didn't understand either. After all, his hands were not that long and Jiang didn't go out much now. How could he have a way to get her to go to Yunzhong Temple?
"I don't know, but since Mrs. Changninghou intends to marry her daughter to me, and I have settled the matter between Changninghou and Ling Gongzi, it would be better for this wife to be handed over to Mrs. Changninghou."
"You can't let the king do everything, but Mrs. Changninghou doesn't have to do anything."
Zhou wanted to say something else, but she heard Li Chongyang continue: "Although I like your girl and want to marry her, she is not the only one who can do it. If Mrs. Changninghou can't even do this, then today
Just pretend we have never met."
"When the time comes, I will find another princess, and your girl will find a good husband."
When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she immediately became anxious: "My lord, please rest assured, my wife will definitely plan this matter carefully, and my lord will prepare the betrothal gift well. Just come and offer the betrothal gift when the time comes."
Li Chongyang smiled so hard that he narrowed his eyes: "Then I will wait for good news."
Zhou bowed and left. When Li Chongyang saw her leaving, he poured himself another cup of tea.
Zeng Qing on the side asked in a low voice: "Does the prince really want to marry Miss Gu?"
Zeng Qing still felt that under the current circumstances, it was better not to marry Miss Gu. Even if there was such a thing as luck, Miss Gu didn't look like someone who could be a princess.
"Do you also think that I shouldn't marry you?"
Zeng Qing was silent for a moment when he heard this. After a long time, he said: "My subordinates are overstepping their bounds. I feel that it is difficult to tell whether the theory of fortune is true or not. But what kind of princess you will marry depends on the future that you can see now."
It is best for the Huainan Palace to marry a princess who has a good family background, is virtuous and capable.
Rather than clinging to that illusory fortune, it would be fine if Gu You was a suitable candidate for the princess.
But Gu You always thinks very highly of himself, and you all have a careless temper, and your brain is a bit hard to use.
