The Splendid Fate of the Reborn First Daughter

Chapter 163 The Daughter's Marriage

The eldest prince couldn't sit still.He sent someone to make an appointment with Zhao Xinghai.

Zhao Xinghai thought about it, and went to the appointment again.

Seeing that he was willing to come, the eldest prince felt a lot more relaxed.Zhao Xinghai exchanged some pleasantries with him, and then said: "Thank you for what happened last time. It's just that the empress said that the two princesses under her knees, she wants to stay for a few more years and is not in a hurry to get married. Therefore, my family didn't dare to mention this matter."

The eldest prince said: "I know that the emperor refuses to ask for a marriage because he doesn't want us to get too close."

But Zhao Xinghai said: "You think too much. Anyone who doesn't have many friends can talk about world affairs. I just feel that I am very close to you, and it won't hinder me if I walk around."

The eldest prince just laughed: "I heard from my father that there was not even a gift giver in his mansion back then, but your eldest brother said that you fell in love with him, and you just got along with him like this. Now that you say the same thing, it can be seen that your Zhao family are all open-minded people."

Zhao Xinghai smiled: "Based on what you said, I also have to toast you."

Both of them laughed, pushed and changed glasses, and drank to their heart's content.

Lord Ning knew about it, and couldn't help asking Zhao Zhongliang: "Is Xinghai too reckless?"

Zhao Zhongliang said: "Xinghai is not a child, he has his own opinions, and we can't always restrict him, he will support the family in the future. He can make up his own mind on these matters."

The prince stopped talking.

The next day, Zhao Xinghai went to inspect again. He walked past the place where he usually chatted with Feng Yi. He couldn't help but take a second look, but Feng Yi didn't come.Zhao Xinghai understood in his heart, and sighed inexplicably, why his marriage is always so difficult.Not long after, the news that Zhao Xinghai often drank with the First Prince gradually spread.

Many people began to wait and see again.

When the second prince heard about this, he was very angry. He entered the palace and said to Concubine Li: "Why is that Zhao Xinghai tamed by the eldest brother like this? What should we do about this? The Zhao family is a dignitary in the capital. Could it be that it just fell into the hands of the eldest brother?"

Concubine Li thought for a while and said: "This matter is also easy to handle. Didn't your eldest brother serve as a matchmaker for him? Maybe it's because of this that the two of them started walking around, and now they can't be said to be tame. We can also be matchmakers for him. If we can become relatives. Tell me, this Zhao family will submit to us?"

The second prince asked: "Do you have a suitable candidate?" He hesitated: "Will I offend the queen if I do this?"

Concubine Li said: "We won't find a princess to marry. The queen has nothing to say. If her daughter refuses to marry, then Zhao Xinghai will have to stay unmarried for the rest of her life? I'm not stupid. I won't marry him myself. What are you afraid of?"

The second prince asked: "Who do you want to marry?"

Concubine Li said: "Your uncle's family already has several cousins. I'll discuss with him and find a suitable matchmaker. If we succeed, we will become in-laws with the Zhao family. The Zhao family is rich, and even if your cousin marries, she won't suffer. I'm afraid she is very willing."

The second prince said: "That's fine too, get married first, and then win him over, I'm not afraid that he won't agree."

Concubine Li said: "I'll send someone to find your aunt to enter the palace, it should be fine."

The second prince became happy again, "Okay. I'm counting on you."

Concubine Li smiled: "I'm happy if you're fine."

The next day, Mrs. Li, Concubine Li's younger brother and sister, entered the palace.

Concubine Li talked about Zhao Xinghai's marriage.

Mrs. Li said: "Who doesn't know that Zhao Xinghai? He was married, but the Miss Zheng family disliked him and refused to consummate the marriage. Later, she got mixed up with his younger brother. This has become a joke in the capital."

Concubine Li couldn't help asking: "Is he ugly?"

Mrs. Li said: "It is said that he is dark and thick, like a reckless man, not a child of aristocratic family at all, and has a gentle and refined demeanor."

Concubine Li felt relieved: "That's Miss Zheng, I'm biased."

Concubine Li said: "That Zhao Xinghai has experienced training in the military camp, and he has learned martial arts. Of course, he is different from those scholars who can only recite poems and paint. However, you have to know that it is easy to find a noble son who can write poems, but it is very difficult to find someone like Zhao Xinghai who is superb in martial arts. He is the son of Prince Ning, and he is in a high position at a young age. What is the reason? Isn't it his martial arts?"

Mrs. Li stopped talking.

Concubine Li said: "Think carefully, what is the basis of our family? It turns out that our Marquis Mansion is also a dignitary in the capital, but our children are not up to the mark, and there is no one who can stand out and support the family. If I hadn't entered the palace and gave birth to the second prince, the family would have been in a ditch. The first thing in the Zhao family is wealth. Marrying into his family, is it wronged? Besides," she looked at Mrs. Li, "Zhao Xinghai is already from the second rank. Although there are younger brothers in the family, who can compare to him? The position is stable, as long as she gets married, she will be a princess in a few years, isn't it good?"

Mrs. Li thought for a while, and said: "That's true, but at home, Meixin and Meihua are both old, so I don't know which one the empress prefers?"

Concubine Li said: "It's better to be Meihua. Although she is a little younger, she is well-born and smart. She is more at ease when she gets married."

Mrs. Li felt relieved when she heard this, talked to Concubine Li about the family affairs, and then left.

Mrs. Li went back to Pingxihou's Mansion, met with Lord Li, and talked about it.

Li Houye said: "This is a good marriage, I'm afraid people will look down on us."

Mrs. Li said: "The empress means that it is not convenient for her to come forward, so as not to offend the queen. She said, let us go to Changping Hou. He is the father-in-law of Prince Dingbei, and his words have enough weight."

Li Houye said: "I have some friendship with Xia Houye, but Lord Ning may not like our family."

Mrs. Li said: "In the past, I thought the same way, but now they may not look down on us. Haven't you heard?" She said: "Then Zhao Xinghai was married before, but Miss Zheng's family disliked him and refused to consummate the house with him. Instead, she hooked up with his younger brother. His family has such a scandal, how can they dislike us? Besides, it's not the first time he's married. We Meihua are remarrying. We don't dislike him. He still dislikes us. There is no reason for that!"

Li Houye smiled: "That's right, I'll ask Lao Xia to have a drink."

Master Li Hou asked someone to deliver a letter to Xia Yan, and the two of them made an appointment to have a drink at Quansheng Building.

Xia Yan had always been on good terms with him, and when he saw the letter, he came for the appointment.

Li Houye pulled Xia Yan, and the two chatted while drinking, and slowly brought the topic to the marriage of their children.

Lord Li said: "Lao Xia, you really have vision. Everyone laughed at you when you married your daughter to Zhao Xinghe. Who would have thought that in just a few years, Zhao Xinghe has developed. Now he is a close minister of the emperor who holds a lot of power. Speaking of which, who wouldn't envy him?"

Xia Yan just laughed: "That's my luck."
