Xiao Yuan lowered his head and looked at the scroll in his hand, then at Zhao Qingman, and said with a smile:
"To be honest, I don't know much about calligraphy and painting. I just feel that this painting depicts the girl's expression, which is no different from the real person, especially the girl's beauty."
"Young Master is so complimentary." When Zhao Qingman heard this, his face turned red, and he bravely said, "Young Master, do you think there is something missing in this painting?"
"Oh?" Xiao Yuan became interested and said, "If the girl doesn't dislike it, I have a few words that I would like to give to the girl."
Hearing this, Zhao Qingman's face suddenly showed a look of surprise: "Really? Dare you ask the young master to write the book?"
Not long after, the pen and ink were brought up by the servant.
Unfolding the scroll on the table, Xiao Yuan also stood in front of the table, picked up his pen and wrote:
The feather coat is often smoky in color, which does not offend the peach and plum blossoms in the world.
He could pick these sentences up at his fingertips, but for others, it was very different!
When he finished writing, everyone watching around them also widened their eyes and looked surprised.
Ding Rong even said excitedly: "Oh, Master, you have made those literati feel ashamed..."
"Haha, you are serious." Xiao Yuan smiled, then looked at Zhao Qingman and said, "I just hope this painting is not destroyed."
"Young master, you have such literary talent." Zhao Qingman looked at Xiao Yuan with bright eyes, not to mention how touching he was.
"Haha!" Xiao Yuan smiled heartily and said, "I'm quite happy today, so I won't stay here any longer. Thank you Mr. Zhao for the good tea. I'll take my leave."
As he said that, he also cupped his hands and turned to leave.
"Young Master..." Zhao Qingman couldn't help but shout softly.
"Well? Is there anything else, girl?" Xiao Yuan paused slightly.
"You..." Zhao Qingman wanted to say something, but out of shyness, his face turned even redder. After a moment, he lowered his head slightly and whispered: "I will always hide this painting by my side..."
Xiao Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and walked away.
Zhao Yuanliang quickly sent him off in person.
After sending him out of the mansion, as soon as he came back, Zhao Qingman came over and said concisely: "Dad, my daughter will not marry anyone other than the King of Qin."
"Ah?" Zhao Yuanliang didn't respond.
The young master is like jade, he is a king, and he is talented. How can Zhao Qingman resist him?
But after Zhao Yuanliang came to his senses, he said with some worry: "My father also wants you to marry into the royal family, but today, I don't see how much the king likes you. I'm afraid this matter will be a little difficult."
With Zhao Qingman's appearance, most young masters would lose their minds if they saw her in the past.
When Zhao Qingman heard this, he immediately said: "My daughter doesn't care, in short, dad must find a way."
"Okay, okay, let's go find Master Ding for my father's sake..."
There are many people who want to be like a dragon and a phoenix, but the Zhao family does have a certain amount of capital.
On the other side, after leaving Zhao Mansion, Xiao Yuan was also preparing to return to Prince Qin's Mansion.
On the way, Ding Rong naturally smiled shyly and asked tentatively: "Master, what do you think of the daughter of the Zhao family?"
"What do you mean?" Xiao Yuan glanced at him.
"Haha." Ding Rongqian smiled and said: "This girl can be regarded as a stunning beauty among the people. In the opinion of a villain, the young master might as well invite her into the palace. It would be a good thing."
Before Xiao Yuan could speak, Liang Yuan also said: "Yes, Master, Master Ding's words are true. The daughter of the Zhao family is indeed a good match for the Master."
"Really?" Xiao Yuan was happy, and the figure of Zhao Qingman flashed through his mind. He pondered for a while and said, "Let's do this. Mr. Ding will go on my behalf to see how the Zhao family reacts. If not It’s okay if you’re willing, there’s no need to force it.”
He is also a normal man, how could he not be lustful? Moreover, his first impression of Zhao Qingman was still very good.
When Ding Rong heard this, his face was filled with joy, and he immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely handle this matter properly."
It would be strange if it was inappropriate. You know, the Zhao family spent a lot of money in bribes to ask him for help!
After returning to the palace, Xiao Yuan did not put his mind on this matter, but plunged into the study.
Ding Rong, on the other hand, directly found the Zhao Mansion the next morning.
In the living room, after sipping the good tea, Ding Rong said calmly: "Mr. Zhao, I have almost done this for you. Without my hard work, your wife wants to enter the palace. I’m afraid it’s harder than reaching heaven.”
Hearing this, Zhao Yuanliang repeatedly echoed: "That's right, that's right, this time it's all thanks to Master Ding. If my daughter can marry into the royal family, it will be a great kindness, and the Zhao family will never forget it."
Why Ding Rong said this was because he wanted the Zhao family to owe him a favor.
Because if there are no accidents like this, then Zhao Qingman will be the king's woman from now on. When the time comes, it will be his turn to fawn over her.
Thinking of this, he immediately said: "Of course, after this incident, I also hope to form a reliable relationship with the Zhao family."
Zhao Yuanliang was stunned for a moment, then he understood and couldn't help but said happily: "Definitely, definitely. From now on, the Zhao family and Mr. Ding will support each other and work together."
"Easy to say, easy to say." Ding Rong nodded with satisfaction.
After delaying for a while at Zhao Mansion, Ding Rong immediately rushed to Prince Qin's Mansion and asked to see Xiao Yuan.
In the study room of the palace.
"Master Ding, please get back on your feet." Xiao Yuan said, put down the bamboo slips in his hands, and asked casually: "Is something wrong?"
"Ah? Your Majesty, have you forgotten about the daughter of the Zhao family yesterday?" Ding Rong said.
"Huh?" Xiao Yuan glanced at him, slightly surprised: "So fast?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, you are interested in the daughter of the Zhao family. That is a blessing that the Zhao family has cultivated over several lifetimes. How can the Zhao family not be happy?" Ding Rong said.
"You're not trying to be strong, are you?" Xiao Yuan gave him a strange look.
"Of course not, of course not." Ding Rong said repeatedly. After speaking, he asked tentatively: "Then, the king's side..."
"Well..." Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment, "What do you think?"
Hearing this, Ding Rong thought for a while and then said: "Your Majesty, you can first issue a royal edict and then summon the daughter of the Zhao family to the palace."
This is not a complicated process, and it is not a formal marriage. In fact, the monarchs of other countries are more simple. Most of them order state and county officials to select beauties from among the people to enter the palace.
Beyond that, it’s a political marriage.
After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Yuan had no objection and said: "Go and handle this matter."
"Yes, I accept the order." Ding Rong responded quickly with a salute.
Harem.
After hearing about this, Gu Xue had no objection.
However, Zhong Duoduo was obviously jealous. When she found Gu Xue, she couldn't help but wrinkle her nose and said:
"Hmph! Humphrous carrot!"
"Okay." Gu Xue smiled slightly and said, "You shouldn't be jealous."
"Huh! He's just a playboy!" Zhong Duoduo felt aggrieved.
