Daughter of aristocratic family

On the morning of the third day after the Double Ninth Festival, a minister suddenly came to the court and asked the emperor to confer the crown prince.

The emperor is over forty years old, and the princes are gradually growing up. Even the seventh prince Lin Xia has joined the court to listen to the government, and the establishment of a prince is imminent.

But the emperor didn't think so. He sat on the dragon throne with an expressionless face, staring at the courtiers who presented the memorial, wishing that the guards would drag him out and chop him down.

"How can we be so hasty about establishing a heir apparent?" the emperor said coldly, "my sons are still young and need more experience."

The minister who submitted the report insisted on his opinion, "Your Majesty, establishing a prince can stabilize the people's hearts and consolidate the foundation of the dynasty. I ask your majesty to put the country, the country and the country first and canonize the prince as soon as possible."

Two more ministers came out and said: "I implore your Majesty to establish the foundation of the country as soon as possible so that the world can be peaceful."

The emperor sneered, "Humph, do you think my throne is unstable? Isn't the world stable enough?" The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The ministers looked at each other in shock and did not dare to speak anymore.

"This matter can be discussed later." The emperor waved his hand, stood up and left.

The chamberlain raised his voice and said: "Retreat from the court."

The emperor refused to appoint a prince. The courtiers were very anxious, and the princes were equally anxious.

The crown prince's position has been unresolved, which makes all the princes feel even more pressure.

They privately courted courtiers and sought support.

The atmosphere in the court became increasingly tense, with undercurrents surging.

The emperor knew this very well through Long Tingwei.

On this day, he suddenly asked Yun Hao, "Which prince do you think I should appoint as the crown prince?"

"Your majesty is wise, the matter of choosing a prince is no small matter, and you need to make your own decision." Yun Haocai did not participate in the matter of establishing a crown prince.

The emperor looked at him deeply and nodded slightly, "You are quite clever."

Yun Hao lowered his head and said nothing, and the emperor asked: "Jingyao, are you and the girl okay?"

"Very good, we went mountain climbing together on the Double Ninth Festival." There was an unnoticeable sweetness in Yun Hao's plain tone.

"As far as I know, she is just the daughter of a common man." After the emperor learned that Yun Hao had a sweetheart, he sent someone to investigate.

"I married a wife, not a family." Yun Hao said in a deep voice.

"Jingyao, do you know why you need to be well-matched when getting married? Do you know why you would rather marry a servant girl than a daughter of a small family?"

Before Yun Hao could reply, the emperor continued: "Being a good match is not for icing on the cake, but to avoid trouble. Although the maids in the big families have low status, they have been influenced by them since they were young and know the rules and propriety. As for the daughters of the small family, Even if she has alluring looks, she is just a frog in the well and cannot reach the level of elegance."

"Thank you for the reminder, Your Majesty, but her character and temperament are far superior to all the ladies, and I would not marry her unless I wanted to." Yun Hao was dissatisfied with the emperor's belittling of Zhao Wangshu.

"Jingyao, if you really like her, you can take her as your concubine." The emperor said.

"Your Majesty, the girl I love is only a wife, not a concubine. I only want to spend my life with her. If I can't marry her, I would rather not marry her for the rest of my life." Yun Hao said firmly.

After hearing this, the emperor was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "Jingyao, your mother will not let you marry the daughter of a concubine, which will affect your career."

"Your Majesty, my mother has agreed. Even the Yun family's ruby ​​bracelet has been entrusted to her." Yun Hao has no ambitions in his official career.

"Your mother has also agreed." The emperor's tone was full of hesitation, "Then I will reward her with something."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yun Hao declined reluctantly.

The emperor was very generous and rewarded a bunch of things, including a house, a famous painting, a pair of Ruyi jade, several bolts of silk and satin, and several boxes of jewelry.

Yun Hao sent all these things to the Zhao family.

This caused Zhao and Li to misunderstand, "Jingyao, are you here to propose marriage alone?" Why don't you bring a matchmaker?

"I'm not here to propose marriage. This is a gift for Yue'er." Yun Hao smiled, "My mother will come to propose marriage in person."

"Oh, okay, okay." Mrs. Zhao Li was a little embarrassed and asked her maid to deliver the things to Zhao Wangshu's yard.

Zhao Wangshu went to Dr. Shen's house and was not at home. When she came back and saw the gifts in the yard, she had the same misunderstanding as Zhao Li, "You came to propose marriage?"

"This is your Majesty's reward."

"Why?" Zhao Wangshu was puzzled.

"I said you were my fiancée."

Zhao Wangshu smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Yun, for asking for the reward for me."

"Just a verbal thank you?"

Zhao Wangshu stood on tiptoe and pecked the corner of his lips, "Is this done?"

Yun Hao lifted her chin, lowered his head and approached her, about to kiss her.

The maid outside the house said: "Girl, my wife has asked you and Master Yun to go out for dinner."

There was a hint of disappointment in Yun Hao's eyes. Zhao Wangshu chuckled and took his hand, "Let's go there."

After Zhao Wangshu received such a large number of gifts, he decided to give some kind of reward to Mr. Yun who asked for the reward for her.

Yun Hao is a military commander. Although she has never seen him wearing a sword, he should be good at swordsmanship. Zhao Wangshu plans to buy him a sword pendant.

There was also a jade sword pendant in the Yage, but Zhao Wangshu wanted to buy something special. She went to the Drum Tower. Last time she and Yao Shanzhi and the others didn't find any good stuff. She didn't know if her luck would be better today.

As Zhao Wangshu walked, he carefully looked at the items on each stall, looking for his favorite sword pendant.

Suddenly, her eyes were attracted by a stall. It was an inconspicuous stall. There was a silver sword pendant on the stall, engraved with cloud patterns. It was simple and elegant. She thought it suited Yun Hao very well.

Zhao Wangshu walked over, picked up the sword pendant and looked at it carefully. He nodded with satisfaction and asked the stall owner, "How do you sell this sword pendant?"

"Girl has good taste. This sword is worth eighty taels of silver." The stall owner said.

"Cheaper, fifty taels."

"Girl, please add more. This small sword pendant was crafted by an experienced craftsman. It is a unique piece."

"Fifty one tael, maybe."

The stall owner's mouth twitched, "Girl, please add more."

Zhao Wangshu shook his head, "No more, just fifty-one taels."

"Girl, you can negotiate the price." The stall owner still sold the sword pendant to her.

Zhao Wangshu bought the sword pendant, went to Yun Mansion, and gave the sword pendant to Yun Hao, "a gift in return."

Yun Hao was slightly stunned, looked down at the sword pendant, and said with a smile: "Why did you think of giving me the sword pendant?"

"Aren't you a military commander? Although I have never seen you wearing a sword, you should be good at swordsmanship. I think this sword pendant is quite suitable for you."

Yun Hao took the sword pendant and said, "Thank you very much."

Zhao Wangshu looked up and asked with a playful smile: "Just say thank you verbally?"

Yun Hao smiled, lowered his head, and kissed his beloved girl's lips.

Zhao Wangshu closed his eyes and responded to his kiss. Their breaths intertwined and they expressed their feelings to each other.

Yun Hao gently let go of her, looked at her shy look, and said softly: "This is my most sincere thank you."

Zhao Wangshu smiled, "I like this thank you gift."

Yun Hao hugged her into his arms again, "Wang Shu, we want to be together forever, okay?"

"Okay, we will be together forever." Zhao Wangshu said softly in his arms.
