Chapter 693: Going to the Countryside

"Zhao Zhiwei?" Xiao Lingyan was stunned for a moment, as if he had never thought about this. But then his eyes slowly lit up.

When Xiao Ge saw him like this, he knew there was something going on. If these two people could succeed, it would be considered as solving two big problems.

Didn't my cousin say that none of the noble families in the capital are worthy of Zhao Zhiwei? His prince can be worthy, right?

He nodded: "Yes. Looking at the capital and even the entire Jin Dynasty, among the women who have not yet been engaged, Zhao Zhiwei is the most outstanding. No matter in appearance, character, talent, or background, there is nothing bad about her. You and her are very good.

A perfect match."

Xiao Lingyan thought for a while and seemed to want to agree, but was a little hesitant.

After hesitating for a while, he said: "She is in Nanyang now, right? When I go to the countryside this time, I want to have a look around the capital. How about I go to Nanyang to meet her then? If we both feel good, then we will make a decision."

This was originally part of his plan.

He proposed to marry Zhao Zhiwei for no reason. Whether it was Xiao Ge or others, he must be suspicious. He originally planned to go down there on the pretext of being familiar with farming. He accidentally met Zhao Zhiwei in Nanyang, contacted her, returned to Beijing, and then proposed to marry her.

She was his wife, so it was a natural progression, and it also erased all signs that they were related before.

But he didn't expect that before his plan was implemented, Xiao Ge took the initiative to mention his marriage to Zhao Ruxi.

As soon as Xiao Ge mentioned it, he agreed and it was done.

But in the past six months, he has been very picky about everyone's proposals for marriage. He is not satisfied here and there, and his requirements are very high, even to the point of being stupid. If Xiao Ge had agreed to Zhao Zhiwei as soon as he mentioned it, he had originally been very picky about marriage.

It's a bit overwhelming. When Xiao Ge comes back to his senses, he will definitely have doubts.

Furthermore, even if he agreed to the marriage, Xiao Ge could not just give the marriage decree. He would have to seek Kang Shilin's opinion first. Once Kang Shilin objected, the marriage would be in trouble.

There is no doubt about Kang Shilin's kindness and love for Zhao Ruxi, and he always stayed as far away as possible from the royal family's battle for the right to inherit the throne.

If he objects to the marriage and Zhao Ruxi still insists on getting married, that would be ungrateful, and it would also make people suspect that she has a desire to cling to the dragon and the phoenix, and her character will be criticized. Even if she explained to Kang Shilin that they were in love, Kang Shilin would not

I don't believe it, I just think she is making excuses.

Kang Shilin objected. Even if the elders of Suiping's house were satisfied with the marriage, they would not be able to oppose Kang Shilin.

But if he and Zhao Ruxi met in Nanyang, when he fell in love with Zhao Ruxi, Zhao Ruxi also fell in love with him. This was the marriage chosen by the young apprentice. She was willing to marry, and her parents at home had no objections. Even if Kang Shilin was the master,

It’s not good to come out and oppose the marriage anymore.

Therefore, the issue of sequence is extremely important and must not be reversed.

Therefore, Xiao Lingyan planned to proceed as planned.

Remembering that his son was extremely picky about his wife's requirements and what kind of "feeling" he was looking for, Xiao Ge was not surprised that Xiao Lingyan didn't agree immediately.

He said: "Sure, then you can meet me. If Zhao Zhiwei doesn't want to marry you, I can't force her. I can't do such a thing as robbing a girl for my son."

Xiao Lingyan was unhappy: "Father, do you think that your son is not as outstanding as Zhao Zhiwei, so she looks down on your son?"

"Hahaha, you said this, but I didn't say anything." Xiao Ge laughed.

Xiao Lingyan glanced at Xiao Ge with a resentful look, stood up and said, "If the father has no instructions, I will resign."

"Go, go, bring my daughter-in-law back as soon as possible. Don't let your kid fall off the hook." Xiao Ge waved his hand like he was shooing away flies.

After Xiao Lingyan came out of the palace, he went back to Prince Qi's Mansion to pack his luggage and left the city with his bodyguard Le Diandian to pursue his wife according to the order.

His original plan was to conceal his identity and make contact with the people along the way. It would take at least three or four days to get to Nanyang. After arriving in Nanyang, he would not have contact with people from the government, but would meet Zhao Ruxi by chance in the fields, and the two would chat about improving farm tools.

After that, he returned to Beijing to discuss their marriage with Xiao Ge.

But with the intention he had made with Xiao Ge, there was no need for him to delay. As a young man who was eager to marry a wife at his age, if he procrastinated along the way and did not meet Zhao Ruxi openly when he arrived in Nanyang, but secretly,

That would look fake, petty, and not at all like a prince.

Therefore, he only delayed one day on the road and arrived in Nanyang the next day.

The plan was decided upon by the two of them together, so Zhao Ruxi never expected Xiao Lingyan to arrive so quickly. That day, she was drawing a water conservancy distribution map in the yamen, when she saw the yamen guard running up the steps in a panic and saying in a loud voice: "

Sir, sir, some people are coming to the door. They say that His Royal Highness, Prince Qi, is here for inspection and wants to see all of you."

Liu Hongyu was writing something when a large drop of ink fell on the paper, instantly smearing the entire paper and making it useless.

He didn't care about this, put down his pen and hurried out, and called out: "Master Cai, Master Li, Master Zhao, Master Feng, all go out with me to greet you."

The yamen servant's voice was loud, and everyone was in the yamen again. Cai Yaozong, Li Li and others heard what he said and walked out at this time.

When Liu Hongyu saw that everyone had arrived, he took the lead and walked out the door. Others followed him one after another.

"Did I hear you right? Your Majesty, Prince Qi, is here to inspect?" The clerks in the sixth house also heard what the yamen servant said and started talking about it one after another.

They are not qualified to welcome King Qi. What they have to do now is to stay in the yamen and not go out casually. They cannot squeeze into the corridor to watch the excitement, so as not to bump into King Qi.

"Our place is close to the capital. Some people who cannot buy Zhuangzi in the capital will come to us. However, there are not many dignitaries coming to inspect, let alone princes. After all, we are a state government, not a government government. This is

What happened?"

At this time, Liu Hongyu had led four of his men to the door of the yamen. At a glance, he saw a very handsome, tall and straight young man standing in front of the door. He was 17 or 18 years old, dressed in nobility and richly dressed.

There were about a dozen people who looked like guards standing behind him.

He quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, Liu Hongyu, has met His Highness King Qi."

The four people behind him also saluted: "I have met His Highness King Qi."

"Get up." Xiao Lingyan waved his hand and glanced at everyone.

Zhao Ruxi lowered his head and looked like he was adhering to his duty.

Xiao Lingyan looked away and said to Liu Hongyu: "I am currently serving in the Ministry of Industry and I have come to the countryside to learn about farming. Which adult in your yamen is in charge of farmland and water conservancy affairs? Can you please go to the fields with me?
