Xiao Sijie's wife's family was prominent and she was also a relative of Princess Jingping. With Zhao Ruyu's courage, she would not dare to harm anyone.

Therefore, Xiao Sijie's first wife must have died of illness or an accident, so the position of the main wife was vacated and she became Zhao Ruyu's target.

Whether it is Zhao Ruyu or Zhao Rurui, they are both good concubines. This kind of concubine cannot be bought or sold, but it can also be corrected.

So Zhao Ruyu's plan couldn't be more obvious.

"Forget it, let's not mention her. As long as she doesn't mess with me, and she doesn't want to make money or kill someone to do illegal things, I won't interfere with her. I wish her happiness," Zhao Ruxi said.

Xiao Lingyan agreed: "Anyway, the plot has completely changed. Fu Yunlang has married another wife, Zhao Ruyu has also married someone, the original CP has been dismantled, and the world has not collapsed. We don't need to pay attention to these two people. Let's live our lives well.

The day will come to pass.”

He added: "I have to rush back to the capital, and I have to go to court tomorrow morning. I'm going back first."

Zhao Ruxi nodded, not leaving him alone, and warned: "You must be careful on the road if you are fooling around."

"Don't worry, I brought a dozen guards, all in disguise." Xiao Lingyan stood up, "Then I'll go back. When I get back, we'll arrange the engagement. Once we get engaged, we'll get married in half a year."

"Yeah." Zhao Ruxi nodded vigorously.

Xiao Lingyan rushed back to the capital that night. After discussing with Xu Zhou, he made many arrangements overnight.

In the afternoon of the next day, he guessed that Xiao Ge was free, so he went into the palace to see his father.

"Xiao Wu, what's the matter?" Xiao Ge was practicing calligraphy when he saw Xiao Lingyan come in. He smiled and asked Eunuch Xie to serve him an ice bowl.

Xiao Lingyan finished the iced fruit pieces of various colors in two mouthfuls. When he saw Xiao Ge put down his pen, he put down his bowl and stood up to salute and said: "I have been studying farm tools recently, but I can't find the right method. The farm tools I made are not practical. How about the Ministry of Industry?"

An old man said that it is because I am not familiar with farming. I want to go out to the capital to walk around and get familiar with farming, so as not to make people laugh."

Xiao Gezhen became more and more fond of this son who had never had any political ambitions, was dedicated to sharing the people's worries, and was determined to increase crop yields.

He nodded and said: "Okay, if you want to go, you can go. I will tell the Minister of Industry after the morning session tomorrow."

Xiao Lingyan stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Father." After saying that, he bowed his head and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute." Xiao Ge stopped him, walked to the table, flipped through it, pulled out a brochure, and handed it to Xiao Lingyan, "Look at this."

This is what he just received.

Xiao Lingyan had no choice but to come back, sit down at Xiao Ge's instruction, open the folder and look at it, and soon his face turned ugly.

It turns out that this minister bitterly stated in the excerpt that it was not good for the country for the King of Qi to be so old and not yet engaged. He said that if everyone imitated his example and did not get married, how would the country's population increase?

He talked eloquently.

"Father, my son is not a prince, so his marriage is your family matter, right? What's his position in taking care of this matter?" Xiao Lingyan threw the fold on the table with a displeased look on his face, "Second brother is nineteen years old.

We just got married, and I have just turned eighteen now. What he said makes no sense."

"But your second brother had arranged the engagement long ago. It was only because the woman was not old enough that the marriage was postponed until 1900. You are different. You haven't even discussed the marriage. If I don't rush you, I will delay it until you discuss the marriage.

, the engagement is completed, I’m afraid I won’t be twenty years old when we get married.”

Xiao Ge said: "Xiao Wu, although he is not qualified to take care of your marriage, this is indeed an overstep. But what he said makes sense. I am the king of a country. If my son delays getting married until he is twenty years old,

Who am I to ask people to get married at the age of sixteen or seven? Xiaowu, you are a sensible child, you can't let your father be questioned by ministers, right?"

"Since you turned eighteen, several ministers have said this to me. If you delay it any longer, I will be speechless."

Xiao Lingyan lowered his head: "But Erchen really doesn't know who to marry."

Xiao Ge frowned: "I have asked your mother-in-law to bring you a picture album of girls of the right age in the capital. Are you not satisfied with any of them?"

"That's it. In the picture album, they are all similar. They are all pretty, virtuous and virtuous." Xiao Lingyan said expressionlessly.

Xiao Ge couldn't help but laugh when he thought about the albums he had seen.

Those who can be included in the album and presented to Concubine Cen and Xiao Lingyan have been carefully selected by the palace officials. Naturally, all of them are beautiful, virtuous and virtuous, and there is nothing wrong with that.

But in the eyes of men like them, they are all the same and there is no difference. The only difference is the type of appearance. However, due to the painting method, there is not much difference in appearance.

Zhao Zhiwei's sketches are very realistic, but because they are in black and white, her drawing method has never been used in this kind of album.

Thinking of Zhao Zhiwei, Xiao Ge also had a headache.

Zhao Zhiwei has also reached the age of sixteen and has not yet been engaged. This morning, some ministers mentioned it during the discussion, saying that as the first female champion, Zhao Zhiwei cannot take the lead in not getting married, otherwise the impact will be very bad.

But some time ago, he asked his cousin this question. His cousin said that none of the dandy boys in Beijing could be worthy of his young apprentice. He was also very worried. The young apprentice would soon be sixteen, and the marriage could not be continued.

It was postponed, but there was no suitable candidate.

Hey, sixteen?

Thinking of this, Xiao Ge couldn't help but look at Xiao Lingyan.

My son, eighteen, is a perfect match for the sixteen-year-old Zhao Zhiwei in terms of age. Not to mention her appearance, Zhao Zhiwei is not inferior to the palace concubine. Her talent is so outstanding, and her vision and mind are no less than those of men. In this way

It would be a pity if a woman did not marry into the royal family.

Thinking about this, Xiao Ge asked: "Xiao Wu, have you seen Zhao Zhiwei?"

Xiao Lingyan was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I've seen it before. Two years ago, I went to Dali Temple to inquire about something, and happened to meet Zhao Zhiwei painting portraits of prisoners there. I met her by chance. But she was not famous at that time, so I

Seeing that her painting method was novel, I went up to have a look and said a few words to her."

When he first met Zhao Ruxi at Dali Temple, he acted rashly because of his excitement, which Zhang Changshen and others knew.

Although this matter has never been mentioned by anyone since then, if you investigate carefully, you can still find it.

So there is no need for him to hide it, he can just admit it openly.

It couldn't be better than seeing it.
