If she doesn't have a family, she can ask her father for a marriage.
The fifth princess raised her hand and held her, "Sixth sister, don't be impulsive. You have only met him once and you don't understand him. What if he is not a beloved person?"
The sixth princess sat back and sighed after hearing this.
"I know that Fifth Sister is worried about me, but not everyone is like Qi Xuan. What if he is a beloved man, then wouldn't I have missed it?"
The fifth princess rubbed her temples. This was the reason, but with Ma and Meng You suddenly rushing out, she would inevitably think too much.
It would be great if the little imperial sister was here. The little sister would definitely know whether Meng You was a good man.
"That's right." Seeing that the sixth princess seemed to be serious, the fifth princess advised: "You have only met once. Sixth sister, please don't be impulsive. You can observe and observe first. My father is busy recently, so why don't you deal with this kind of thing?" It’s not good to disturb him.”
…
the other side.
Meng You received a note from King Yueqing as soon as he left the street.
After reading the note, he saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he turned around and went to the Yueqing Prince's Mansion.
"I've met the prince."
King Yueqing was very kind to Meng You.
After making him sit down, he ordered someone to serve tea.
"Today in the Jinluan Palace, I heard that the emperor's brother praised you very much. This is a good thing."
Meng You was holding the tea, hesitating for a while, then put it down and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor does praise me very much, but I already have a wife. If I really marry the Sixth Princess, wouldn't this be deceiving the Emperor?"
He was very grateful to King Yueqing for giving him the money to take the exam, otherwise he would not have become the number one scholar, but he couldn't figure out why he wanted to marry the sixth princess.
The emperor inquired about his family background in a vague way, and seemed to have the intention of making him his consort.
"Deceiving the king?" The King of Yueqing chuckled, "Your wife is far away in a remote mountain village in Yueqing. Who knows you have a wife if you don't tell her?"
As he said this, King Yueqing stood up and patted his shoulder, "Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. When you really become the consort and stabilize in the capital, you can take your wife over to enjoy your happiness."
Seeing that Meng You didn't seem to be willing, King Yueqing continued: "You don't think that a mere number one scholar will make a difference in the capital. I don't want your talent to be buried, so I will pay for you to come to Beijing to take the exam. .”
Thinking of what happened before, and comparing it with the prosperity he saw when he came to the capital, Meng You was really moved.
Not everyone can marry a princess. He couldn't even afford pen and ink before he was admitted to the top exam, but now he can get something he never dared to dream about before. It was a great temptation for him.
Even though he knew that King Yueqing would not be so kind, he still wanted to jump into the pit.
With just one jump, he and King Yueqing really became a grasshopper on the same rope.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for considering me so much."
Meng You raised his eyes as if he had made a decision.
Maybe he had already jumped into the fire pit when King Yueqing gave him money, but at that time he only wanted to show off his ambitions, so he didn't see it clearly.
Since we are already in the fire pit, why not give it a try, and maybe we can use the Sixth Princess to get rid of King Yueqing.
As for his wife, she has a weak temperament. Even if she marries a princess, she will not make a fuss. He will wait for her to settle down in the capital before taking her over to enjoy her happiness.
"It's good if you can figure it out," King Yueqing said with a pleased look on his face. Meng You was so grateful that he didn't mind being nicer to him.
After sending Meng You away, King Yueqing stood up and planned to go to Zhu's Mansion again.
Zhu Li's condition looks much better this time.
Seeing King Yueqing, Zhu Li stood up and bowed, wondering about the purpose of King Yueqing's visit.
He is just a commoner now, and he still owes a lot of debt to the treasury. There should be nothing worthy of this prince coming to the palace for the second time.
"Please get up quickly," King Yueqing walked to the chair and sat down. He smiled and said, "I heard that Master Zhu has some pots of rare flowers in his house. I am curious, so I came here to take a look."
It turned out that he was here for the flowers and plants, and Zhu Li relaxed.
"I am just a commoner now, so the prince can just call me by my name."
Although the emperor took away the money from selling his official position, he only dismissed his official position. Now he just wants to return the money from the treasury so that he can leave the capital with his wife and children.
"How could Mr. Zhu become a commoner?" King Yueqing asked pretending to be puzzled, "Is it possible that someone who is more capable than Mr. Zhu has taken Mr. Zhu's place?"
Zhu Li shook his head, a little ashamed.
He was temporarily obsessed, otherwise he wouldn't have done such a stupid thing.
He has handed over the post of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and he does not care who the next Minister will be.
"I'll take the prince to see the flowers," Zhu Li stood up and took Prince Yueqing to the garden.
King Yueqing's original intention was not to look at the flowers, so he took a casual look and tried to say something about Zhu Li.
"Master Zhu was dismissed for no reason. How about I go to the emperor brother to beg for mercy?"
Zhu Li didn't want King Yueqing to misunderstand the emperor, so he told the whole story.
He didn't have the face to go to the emperor to plead for mercy. If he did such a thing, the emperor would just forgive him, which was considered to be extra merciful.
"So that's what happened," King Yueqing said with emotion: "No one is a saint, and no one can make mistakes. If Mr. Zhu needs it, I can help you."
Zhu Li was a little surprised, then smiled and changed the subject, "If the prince likes this flower, take it away."
For this reason, Zhu Li is not stupid. He and the King of Yueqing are not relatives. The King of Yueqing said that he would help him. How can there be such a good thing in the world?
Fortunately, he really thought that King Yueqing came to enjoy the flowers. It seemed that he was a drunkard who was not interested in drinking.
"Then I, the king, are welcome."
King Yueqing moved a pot of flowers, knowing in his heart that Zhu Li was rejecting him tactfully.
Thinking of this, King Yueqing couldn't help but think of the fourth prince.
This is the difference. He only said a few words before Zhu Li understood the purpose of his visit. But that idiot, the fourth prince, after he said so much, he only knew how to eat.
"As long as the prince likes it."
Zhu Li sent King Yueqing out of the palace and went to the study.
He sat in front of the long desk for a while, then picked up a pen and wrote down his guess on the rice paper spread out.
I don’t know if King Yueqing’s purpose of coming today is because he is overthinking it. He always feels that the other party has other motives for helping him.
The only thing he could gain was his knowledge of the officials, so it was obvious what King Yueqing had in mind.
…
In the palace.
The emperor was discussing debt collection with several ministers in the royal study. Eunuch Cao walked in and whispered a few words, handed him a piece of paper, and then stepped aside.
"My dear friends will go to collect debts tomorrow. Please step aside."
Several people retreated with sad faces, resisting but not daring to refuse.
"Why, your dear friends don't want to?"
"Your Majesty, I will do my best."
They don't want to, but they only dare to think in their hearts that no one is willing to do such an offending thing as debt collection.
"If you want to, don't cry in despair, just go ahead and do it."
Several people surrendered, and the emperor opened the note in his hand.
When he heard Eunuch Cao say that Zhu Li had handed him something, he thought that Zhu Li was dissatisfied with his handling. Unexpectedly, he was reminded that King Yueqing seemed to be disobedient.
