Looking at His Majesty's youthful expression, it is not difficult to see that he has no such thoughts at all.
The ministers are numb.
What to do?
"Your Majesty, you are already thirteen years old. This...according to the rules, you can indeed marry the queen." A minister stood up and said.
"Yes, the late emperor also married the late empress when he was your age. This is indeed not too early." What the ministers did not say was that the late emperor had many concubines in his house at your majesty's age. He is a truly romantic emperor.
Your Majesty has not inherited any of the late emperor's romantic qualities, and he still looks completely clueless.
Lu Qing felt helpless as he looked at the earnest expressions of the ministers below.
After everyone had finished talking, she said leisurely, "I am only thirteen years old this year. It's still early. You can't get married until you are at least eighteen years old. Besides, today's Dayu is no longer suitable for wasting people and money. Do you want to marry the queen for free? Have you waited? Let’s talk about it in a few years.”
Hearing this, the ministers immediately withered.
What Your Majesty said is not unreasonable. The current disaster situation in various parts of Dayu is serious. Marrying the queen will inevitably lead to a grand ceremony. After all, the honor and pomp must be kept up. It is indeed not appropriate now.
The ministers' minds were suddenly led astray by Lu Qing.
However, there are also those shrewd veterans who think more.
Since His Majesty is so resistant to getting married now, they can change their mind, right?
So, the most cunning and cunning Su Xiang came out.
"Your Majesty, I think your Majesty is right."
Lu Qing nodded in agreement.
The other ministers looked at Su Xiang suspiciously.
Why is this old man compromising so easily today? I heard before that he is also worried about His Majesty's lifelong affairs? What is this for now?
But then they knew the old fox Su Xiang's intentions.
"Your Majesty, I believe that although it is not suitable to marry a queen now, your Majesty can decide on a candidate for the queen first and then get married in two years."
Hearing this, Lu Qing's mouth twitched. Does this mean he wants her to get a wife?
Oh haha!
All the ministers' eyes were suddenly on Su Xiang, with admiration in their eyes.
As expected of Su Xiang!
Lu Qing was even more speechless and didn't want to chat with them anymore.
"There is nothing else to do today. If not, just retreat. As for other matters, I will not consider them for the time being."
Hearing this, the ministers wanted to say something, but they held back.
Su Xiang didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Originally, he didn't intend to succeed in this matter.
It is said that a martyr woman is afraid of stalking a man. His Majesty will surrender under the successive attacks of ministers like them. Even so, which man can endure a life without a woman for a long time?
Anyway, they don’t believe that His Majesty will never touch women in his life.
The ministers all had their own thoughts.
Some people have already started thinking because of Su Xiang's words.
The families with daughters and granddaughters are all excited now. The position of queen is still very attractive. If someone in the family takes the position of queen, the status of the whole family will be greatly improved.
Even if you really can't become the queen in the end, then you still have the positions of imperial concubine and noble concubine.
If you get one of these positions, you will not have to worry about the glory and wealth in this life, and it will be a lifetime glory for your daughter's family.
Many ministers now want to go back and talk to their wives about this matter.
Su Xiang had no intention of marrying his daughter or granddaughter to His Majesty. He simply believed that it would be beneficial to Dayu for Your Majesty to give birth to an heir as soon as possible.
…
Lu Qing didn't know what those ministers were thinking. She was currently sitting on the sedan chair heading towards Longquan Palace.
The area around the sedan chair was airtight, so it wasn't cold either.
Suddenly, the sedan chariot tilted suddenly, and Lu Qing also fell to one side.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Lu Qing quickly stabilized her body.
The sedan chair was also supported.
"Your Majesty! Are you okay?" Xiao Hezi straightened the sedan chair and shouted worriedly.
"Your Majesty, forgive me! Your Majesty, forgive me!"
"I'm fine, what's going on?" Lu Qing said coldly.
Hearing this, Xiao Hezi breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help but glared at the big eunuch in charge of the sedan chair and the little eunuch whose foot slipped.
If something happens to Your Majesty, I wonder who can bear the responsibility!
"Back...back to Your Majesty, the road was too slippery just now, and the little eunuch slipped his foot. Your Majesty, please forgive me! I will tell him when I get back." The big eunuch was sweating profusely in the cold weather, and was frightened.
They almost made the most noble emperor in the world fall, which was a big taboo for them to chase him away in a sedan chair.
I'm afraid I can't keep this little eunuch!
The little eunuch's legs were trembling even more. When he heard the big eunuch's words, the fear in his heart instantly climbed to the peak. How could he not understand what his boss said? He was doomed! But he didn't dare to loosen his hand holding the sedan chariot. Even though he was extremely scared, he still persisted.
He also has a sister in the palace, and he can't bring her down.
Hearing this, Lu Qing didn't know what the eunuch meant.
Afraid that he, the leader, would be punished, he put all the blame on the young eunuch.
As far as she knew, the little eunuchs who carried the sedan were wearing special non-slip boots. In the past, their feet were not slippery. Today...
Lu Qing opened the sedan curtain and took a look, and sure enough he found that the little eunuch's shoes were different from the others.
Xiaohezi followed His Majesty's gaze and naturally discovered this.
Lu Qing's eyes were deep, he gave Xiao Hezi a look, and announced to get up.
After Xiaowazi nodded slightly, he also walked forward as if nothing happened.
Seeing that His Majesty didn't say anything, the elder eunuch lowered his head, a hint of pride rose in his eyes, and looked at the younger eunuch with an even more sinister look.
He thought he was hiding it very well, but little did he know that Xiaohezi had already noticed it.
This little episode just passed.
…
The eldest princess's mansion.
lobby.
A young man with a handsome face and a shy face turned his head three times and said to the stunningly beautiful girl behind him, his eyes full of reluctance.
"Your Highness, please go back."
"Yes." Lu Mingxi didn't feel any fluctuation in her heart. She responded lightly and turned back to the study.
No nostalgia.
The young man who looked back was full of nostalgia.
study.
"Princess, this is your letter." The maid Jin Li came in and presented the letter in her hand.
Lu Mingxi took it.
Seeing the words "Her Royal Highness the Princess" written above, her eyes were dark.
"Go down."
"yes."
Jin Li withdrew with a wink.
Today's master is hard to figure out. He seems to have changed a lot. Even his smile has disappeared. Two days ago, Ling Guo's hostage came to ask for an audience, and the princess was actually sent away.
Jin Li is considered an old man next to Her Highness the Princess, and naturally knows that Her Highness the Princess cares about Prince Zhongli. Jin Li really can't understand her current attitude.
After reading the contents of the letter, many doubts flashed in Lu Mingxi's eyes.
The letters are all about what the ministers of the DPRK and China did during this period, as well as the actual situation of the disasters in various places in Dayu.
Everything is developing in a good direction, completely different from the previous life.
Lu Mingxi couldn't understand whether all this was because of that person.
In the past few days, she has found out that the work-for-relief scheme was indeed proposed by her. It has to be said that it has solved Dayu's dilemma to a certain extent, but this cannot explain anything else.
She couldn't figure out the sudden changes in the ministers. Could it be because of that lonely ghost?
What is she capable of?
What plans does she have for Dayu?
