Chapter 112 Marriage
Emperor Xiaokang Zhu Biao looked at the bewildered and stuttering Zhu Qi, and couldn't help laughing wildly in his heart.

My own ninth younger brother has been young and mature since he was a child, and he is extremely intelligent.On weekdays, I don't care about everything, but I am very indifferent.I have never seen him lose his temper, and I never thought that my ninth brother would be like this when I urged the marriage!Thinking of this, Zhu Biao couldn't help teasing Zhu Qi.

Seeing that Zhu Qi was still in a daze, Emperor Xiaokang Zhu Biao said with a straight face: "Old Jiu, are you deceiving the emperor?"

"In the ninth year of Hongwu, Zhang Zhenren came to Beijing to teach you 'Tai Chi'. I begged for you, but you still remember."

Before Zhu Qi could reply, Zhu Biao continued.

"I once asked my father, and my father said; with the help of 'Tai Chi', you can recover your body in at most ten years. Now that the ten years have passed, could it be that my father is wrong! Or is my father lying to me? !” Zhu Biao said in a somewhat gloomy tone.

"I still remember the last time you entered the palace, the queen mother asked about your health, but you said it was great! Could it be that you are deceiving the queen mother?"

Hearing Zhu Biao's question, Zhu Qi, who had just recovered, happened to see the sly look in Zhu Biao's eyes.

Suddenly he smiled wryly in his heart and said: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, why make fun of me!"

Emperor Xiaokang laughed and said, "Old Jiu, you are so young and wise, I have never seen you like this!"

Zhu Qi smiled bitterly, not knowing how to answer!
Seeing that Zhu Qi was a little embarrassed, Emperor Xiaokang said earnestly, "Old Ninth, the royal family is the foundation of the empire. You are King Zhao of the Ming Empire, so you can't be careless about strengthening the royal family. A few days ago, the father and mother had repeatedly Inquiring about your marriage, if you procrastinate any longer, the Emperor Father and the Empress Mother will probably issue an order."

Zhu Qi knew in his heart that what Emperor Xiaokang said was right.

The mainland of China is a world of martial arts. The founding emperor of each empire must be at least a master warrior. The lifespan of a master warrior for hundreds of years is enough to ensure the order of the empire's succession. The founding emperor is not dead. Which royal descendant dares to act arbitrarily? .Therefore, although there are princes vying for the throne in the empire of the mainland of China, it is also a healthy competition.It is precisely because the imperial family has ancestors in charge that the throne can be passed on in an orderly manner, and the royal family has also become the most important foundation of the empire.At the very least, the royal family is the vested interest of the empire, basically no royal family will damage the interests of the empire.

The Ming Empire had just been established, and the royal family didn't have many bloodlines. Although Zhu Qi acted in a low-key manner, he was, after all, the one-word king of the Ming Empire.Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Xiaokang would never allow King Zhao to die out.

Therefore, Zhu Qi's marriage is not only a matter of Zhu Qi alone, but also a matter of the Ming Empire and the royal family.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

Zhu Qi understands this truth. Born in the emperor's family, since he has enjoyed the glory and wealth, he must bear the corresponding responsibilities.Moreover, it is a good thing for Zhu Qi to get married!
"Old Nine, you have someone you like! My Ming Empire has not had so many rules since its infancy. If you have someone you like, no matter who it is, I will make the decision for you!" Emperor Xiaokang said domineeringly.

"The person you like!" Zhu Qi was stunned again!
He has not been out of the palace these years, except for the maids in the palace, he has never seen many of the opposite sex!He can't let him find Dongfang Bai and Murong Qiudi!
Looking at Zhu Qi who was stunned, Zhu Biao suddenly hated that iron could not be made into steel.

My ninth younger brother is good everywhere, but he is not emotionally enlightened.

Huh!Not only Lao Jiu, but also Lao Si's stick.On the night of the big wedding, the fourth child actually dared to escape from the marriage. Fortunately, he escaped into the hands of the old man Xu Da, hehe!Back then, the fourth child suffered a lot.

"Your Majesty! My brother has no favorite woman!" Zhu Qi replied honestly!
Zhu Biao also has some headaches, the old nine has many ideas, if he randomly refers to marriage, he is not satisfied, and then it will be troublesome to follow the example of the fourth and run away from marriage!
Zhu Biao frowned in thought, and Zhu Qi also remained silent!
The hall became quiet for a while!
When the two of them were thinking about their own thoughts, a voice suddenly sounded: "When did the ninth brother enter the palace? I happened to cook some lotus seed soup for your majesty, and the ninth brother also drank some."

It's hot in July, and the queen often cooks some food to cool off the heat these days.Just now Zhu Biao and Zhu Qi were thinking about the problem, so they didn't find the queen entering the palace.

"My brother, thank you queen!" Seeing that it was the queen, Zhu Qi hurriedly saluted.

The queen smiled and said: "Ninth brother is still so polite!" As she said, she first served a bowl for Zhu Biao, and then another bowl for Zhu Qi.

Zhu Qi was not too polite, although his physique has long been immune to cold and heat, but he dare not refuse the lotus seed soup served by the empress himself.The queen is Chang Yuchun's first daughter, although she came from the general family, she is gentle and virtuous.Zhu Qi was often taken care of by the East Palace before, so Zhu Qi respected the queen very much.

When Zhu Biao saw the queen coming in, his eyes lit up.

The marriage of the children of the royal family needs to be screened by the harem. For Zhu Qi, the queen has spent a lot of time these days.Originally, Zhu Biao should discuss with the queen about Zhu Qi's marriage.However, today Zhu Biao wanted to find out Zhu Qi's tone on a whim, but who knows, Zhu Qi is just a stick and has no awareness of this at all.

Zhu Biao saw that Zhu Qi didn't have much emotion, so he struck while the iron was hot and wanted to quickly settle Zhu Qi's marriage, so he fell into deep thought.It's just that Zhu Biao has a lot of opportunities every day, and he doesn't even know how many daughters there are, so how can he find the right person.The queen's coming here at this time relieved Zhu Biao's urgent need.

"Queen, just now I was discussing with my ninth brother about his marriage. I don't know if the queen can recommend someone." Zhu Biao asked the queen while drinking lotus seed soup.

Empress Chang understood what Zhu Biao meant when she changed her mind.These days, Zhu Biao has asked several times.It's just that Zhu Qi is too low-key and almost never shows up.Xungui didn't know Zhu Qi's real situation at all. Empress Chang asked several Xungui's words, but got no response.

There are many princes in the royal family of the Ming Empire, and Xungui is not willing to marry his daughter to Zhu Qi, a sick child.

"Your Majesty, the ninth younger brother is full of vigor. If we go out for a walk, I don't know how many daughters will admire us. However, this marriage should not be too hasty. If we mess up the mandarin ducks, the ninth younger brother will suffer. After half a month, Chang There is a poetry meeting in the Spring Garden, and everyone from the imperial capital will go, why not let the ninth brother go to the poetry meeting, maybe the ninth brother will meet the person he likes?" The queen said unhurriedly.

After hearing what the queen said, Zhu Biao immediately understood what the queen meant.

The reputation of Zhu Qi's weakness is widely spread, even if the empress intervenes in it, the nobles may not be able to cope with the marriage.

In a poetry meeting, how could Zhu Qi meet the woman he likes by such a coincidence.

The queen asked Zhu Qi to participate in the Changchun Garden Poetry Meeting, not to let Zhu Qi find the person he likes, but to let the nobles see Zhu Qi.

Once Zhu Qi's title of sickness is removed, I'm afraid that the portraits of the girls of the appropriate age from Xungui's family will be sent to the palace in an endless stream.

The one-word king of the Ming Empire is very precious.
