As soon as Ruan Qian entered the gate of Qinzheng Hall, several ministers came up to congratulate him.

He quickly waved his hand to explain. After the explanation, both parties were a little embarrassed.

"What do you mean, Prime Minister Ruan?"

"Hey, you don't care what he means. Now there are only two princes in Jingguo, the King of England and the Eighth Prince. It's normal for Prime Minister Ruan to hug the King of England's thigh."

"That's right, we can't hug her even if we want to."

The two ministers were discussing not far away from Ruan Qian. Although the ministers around him were silent, they obviously thought so too.

They all felt that the marriage between the King of England and the Ruan family was inseparable.

As soon as the emperor sat on the dragon throne, he felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the Qinzheng Hall today. Everyone seemed to be very happy.

So the emperor felt a little unhappy. Nowadays, the Northern Barbarians and the Southern Ridges are all ready to move, and these ministers don't know how to share his worries. They are really useless.

"The Sixth Prince of the Northern Barbarians has set off. Who will be sent to greet him?" The emperor's voice was low and his expression was unhappy.

Everyone quickly stopped smiling.

"Of course the Ministry of Rites should send officials there."

"The Sixth Prince has a special status in the Northern Barbarians. It would be inappropriate not to send a prince there."

"What is appropriate and inappropriate for a country that has lost its army and is subject to it?"

Discussions soon began in the main hall, and everyone forgot about the previous episode.

After discussing for half an hour, the emperor was a little tired, but the result still didn't come out.

He shook his hand impatiently, and everyone stopped talking.

"Wujiu is the commander of the Tiger Roaring Army, the victorious general who defeated the Northern Barbarians, so let the King of England go." The emperor made the final decision.

Xiao Wujiu stood up and saluted, and with just one sentence, the hall became audible.

"My son is willing to go, but I went to propose marriage this morning. I'm afraid there will be conflicts when the time comes."

The emperor opened his eyes suddenly and his eyes lit up.

Xiao Wujiu had said before that he wanted to marry a girl from the Ruan family, but he did it himself before he even had time to issue the decree?

Judging from the way he spoke, if he didn't agree, Xiao Wujiu would not dare to greet the Sixth Prince of the Northern Barbarians.

In fact, whether to welcome or not is not a big deal, but when the sixth prince enters Jingguo, the trouble will be even more. Now he only has one capable son...

"Then I will give you a marriage, and the ceremony will be completed within one month. After that, I will appoint the King of England as the welcoming envoy to go out to Beiguan to receive the prince of the Northern Barbarians into the court."

The crowd joined in.

Ruan Qian was dumbfounded. Aren't these two things related in some way?

As soon as he retired from the court in the morning, Ruan Qian returned to Ruan Mansion and saw people carrying the betrothal gifts one by one.

The emperor's imperial edict granting marriage also arrived immediately.

Ruan Qian was sitting in the main seat in the main hall in a daze. He had not yet figured out how all of this happened.

He didn't come back to his senses until someone from the Ministry of Etiquette came to discuss marriage with him.

Looking at the complicated agenda, Ruan Qian was sweating a lot. He had never thought that getting married would be so troublesome.

"Someone, go to Su City and invite the old lady or the eldest lady back!"

Ruan Qian persuaded the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette to send him away, and let them discuss the marriage after he got the old lady back.

……

Qianqiu Palace
As soon as King Qianqiu got up from his concubine's bed in Xina, he heard about the engagement between King Ying and Ruan Mianmian.

"The daughter of Prime Minister Ruan? It's a pity that the beauty of the country has not entered my Qianqiu Prince's palace." Since King Qianqiu got the benefits, he has recently taken in several new concubines, but the status of these people is too low.

He continued to find for himself a princess who was of noble birth and capable of doing things, and gave him several legitimate sons.

"Go and give the Queen a greeting card, and tell her that the king has something urgent to do to see the emperor's sister-in-law."

The servant just accepted the order and came back soon, "Your Majesty, Qiu Zhiyuan, Master Qiu wants to see you."

King Qianqiu put on his clothes, glanced at his concubine who was still paralyzed on the bed, and said, "Invite him in."

Qiu Zhiyuan sat down in the flower hall and drank three cups of tea before King Qianqiu slowly came out.

"Seeing that the prince's face is glowing, I know that I have chosen the right person to send him off."

King Qianqiu thought of the methods of those concubines, nodded with unfinished content, and spoke a little more gently to Qiu Zhiyuan, "Indeed, Master Qiu has taken the trouble."

"It's just that the prince still needs to find a concubine as soon as possible." Qiu Zhiyuan got straight to the point.

King Qianqiu suddenly threw the tea cup in his hand, "Master Qiu is too involved."

"I am also worried about the prince, right? The Northern Barbarian prince is coming in a few days. The Emperor will naturally give the Northern Barbarian Princess some face. When the time comes, he will release the Northern Barbarian Princess from house arrest and give her a good husband."

"What does that have to do with me?"

"Now that the situation in the court has been decided, the Emperor will never let the princess marry the King of England, right? The Eighth Prince? With his groveling and cautious demeanor, the Northern Barbarian Princess will definitely not like him either."

"The age difference between the prince and the princes is not too big, and now they are even more beautiful. I'm afraid the emperor will have his thoughts."

King Qianqiu frowned, "You mean the emperor wants me to marry the Northern Barbarian princess."

"That's not impossible. After all, the prince is different today."

King Qianqiu nodded confidently. Now that he was so majestic, he was indeed different.

"I have already submitted a notice to enter the palace. I want the emperor's sister-in-law to hold a palace banquet and make me a princess again."

Qiu Zhiyuan felt that he had finally reached the point, and unconsciously took two steps towards King Qianqiu, "I don't know whose female family the prince prefers. I am willing to help His Highness achieve success immediately."

King Qianqiu stroked his beard. He had already thought about it. Now that the emperor wanted to marry the daughter of Yujiang from Lingnan, he would control the forces in the southwest.

The King of England married the daughter of Prime Minister Ruan, the leader of hundreds of officials. The woman's grandfather was also a role model for scholars, and she established herself in the elite line of civil servants.

If he wants to...

It is better to marry the daughter of the governor of Nanhai, so that he can control the military power in the south.

"This Mu..." King Qianqiu was about to speak, but was interrupted by Qiu Zhiyuan.

"But no matter who the prince wants to choose, he can't choose Miss Mu Da. I heard that she always went to Prince Mian's Mansion before. I'm afraid she has..."

King Qianqiu rubbed his hands, what happened?He loved hearing about these romances the most.

Qiu Zhiyuan didn't expect that this Qianqiu King was really curious. No wonder his master asked him to prepare early.

"I have discovered a criminal slave in Prince Mian's residence these days. If the prince wants to know, it is better to let her..."

"If you want to know, you can send her here." King Qianqiu seemed very excited.

Qiu Zhiyuan smiled awkwardly and handed over a piece of paper, "Here is a list of suitable ladies in the capital. I hope the prince will take a look at it."

King Qianqiu only glanced at it and didn't answer the question, "No portrait?"

Qiu Zhiyuan hurriedly stood up to plead guilty, "Of course there is, but a few days ago I came to surrender, but the prince did not agree, so I dare not act rashly."

King Qianqiu drank a cup of tea. In the past, he could not have children, so he had never had any unreasonable thoughts, but it was different now. He felt that he was not much different from his brother.

But who in Jingguo didn't know about this? Naturally, no one took refuge in him. If he hadn't been discovered by Qiu Zhiyuan when he went to the waiter's house last time...

"Okay, okay, Master Qiu is a man who understands current affairs. Please order someone to send the guilty slave and the album together at that moment."
