Liang Yujun left with a gloomy face.
Liang Yulin asked someone to investigate something, and after getting the result, he went to the yard next door.
Every day at noon, Xiao Hanzheng would try his best to come back to have lunch with his family and then take a nap.
He had just woken up from his lunch break, washed up, changed his clothes and went out.
I met King Yi right at the door.
He asked, "Is the prince looking for me?"
After arriving in North City, his mother made friends with several women who also liked cooking, and now they made plans to go shopping together.
The young wife and sister also went to the party.
So when King Yi comes here at this point, he can only look for himself.
Liang Yulin smiled and nodded: "Well, come over and talk to you."
"Let's talk as we walk."
The prefect's office was on the next street, about a cup of tea's walk away.
As they walked, Liang Yulin said, "Prince Jin came to see me just now. In addition to wanting to test whether I really want to marry your mother, he also wants to form a marriage with the Xiao family."
Xiao Hanzheng frowned slightly, "Marriage? Do you want to marry Bai Li?"
Liang Yulin nodded, "Yes, he wants his third son to marry Bai Li."
"But I scolded him and he refused."
"His useless third son has so many concubines in his backyard. How can he be worthy of our Bai Li?"
He reached out and patted Xiao Hanzheng's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of Prince Jin."
He narrowed his eyes, with a bit of coldness and cruelty, "Don't dare to use Bai Li's ideas for his son again, otherwise I will make all his sons become eunuchs."
Obviously, this was not a threat to Prince Jin, but as long as the other party dared to lay a hand on his eldest daughter, he would really dare to do it.
Xiao Hanzheng smiled, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
He was still moved by the way King Yi protected his sister.
Of course, if Prince Jin came to propose to him, he would also refuse.
But King Yi’s appearance can indeed have a better deterrent effect.
Liang Yulin smiled deeply, "You're welcome, we're a family."
Then he changed the subject and whispered, "I just asked someone to check. Not only are there some noble families in the capital who are eyeing Bai Li, but there are also some in the North City."
"Especially the several families who have completely surrendered to King Jin, all let the male members of their families look for opportunities to get in touch with Bai Li."
"They want their descendants to marry Bai Li to leave a way out for the family."
Xiao Hanzheng knew what it meant as soon as he heard it, "I understand. I will talk to my wife and ask my younger sister to stay with her recently and try not to go out alone."
Whether the families who surrendered to Prince Jin were coerced or bribed, or wanted to follow his will, they must have made some preparations in case Prince Jin's rebellion failed.
King Jin became king, and they followed him to climb the mountain.
If Prince Jin were defeated, their families would be in ruins at best, or even lose their heads or be exiled at worst.
These families must have received the news that King Yi was going to marry his mother.
If their offspring married his sister, if Prince Jin failed in the future, the emperor would show leniency to Bai Li's husband for the sake of Prince Yi.
This way, there would be hope of reviving the family, and even a family bloodline.
Of course, because of this, the legitimate sons used for marriage are definitely those who are not given much attention in normal times, and may even be playboys.
It’s a nice idea, but it depends on whether they agree or not.
Liang Yulin knew that his eldest son was the smartest and understood things quickly.
He patted Xiao Hanzheng's shoulder again, "Just keep it in mind."
The two chatted for a while, and King Yi sent Xiao Hanzheng to the gate of the government office before leaving with his entourage.
When they heard the spy's report, they were surprised that King Yi personally sent Xiao Hanzheng to the yamen.
From this point, we can also see that King Yi attaches great importance to Xiao Hanzheng's mother and their brothers and sisters.
He also decided to try his best to facilitate the marriage with the Xiao family.
He asked someone to send a message to his wife who was attending Mrs. Tu's banquet, asking them to test whether Shi Qingluo had any intention of getting married.
The banquet had not started yet, so servants continued to deliver messages to the maids, but it did not attract much attention.
Shi Qingluo, Xi Rong and Xiao Baili were also welcomed in by Mrs. Tu's maid.
Mrs. Tu did not make things difficult for Shi Qingluo and the other two in the reception and sent out her own maid.
However, when they sat down, Shi Qingluo and the other two were arranged to sit at the back.
This also means that it is not particularly important.
Shi Qingluo didn't care about this. He sat down and took the tea brought by the maid and started drinking it.
Just as she guessed, not all the ladies and young ladies from the aristocratic families in North City looked down on her and wanted to make enemies with her.
There are also those who want to make good connections.
Most of these aristocratic families remained neutral in the struggle between Prince Jin and the Emperor.
What's more, there are even some who have secretly surrendered to the emperor, but Prince Jin is unaware of it.
These ladies, with their young ladies, would take the initiative to talk to Shi Qingluo.
If Shi Qing were born in modern times, he would have been born into a wealthy family, so elegance and etiquette would have been ingrained in his bones.
Plus, she is naturally cheerful and good at socializing.
Soon she was chatting and laughing with these ladies, talking about family matters, and her speech and behavior were graceful and elegant, not at all like the village woman that everyone imagined.
In fact, many people thought that Shi Qingluo would wear a princess's palace dress to attend the banquet to highlight her princess status and to cover up her past as a peasant girl.
Almost all the ladies who came to the banquet had never seen Shi Qingluo before.
In their imagination, Shi Qingluo was a village woman with a rough appearance and vulgar dress.
It feels like being a maid helping in the kitchen at home.
But when they saw Shi Qing falling behind, dressed neatly in a light yellow dress, they were all surprised.
Although the outfit is simple, every piece of jewelry is worn just right.
Moreover, the lady with a keen eye could see that the fabric of the dress Shi Qingluo was wearing was made of the imperially bestowed heavenly silk.
The jewelry they wear is not only novel and beautiful, but also valuable.
So although it looks simple and refreshing, it also reveals a low-key luxury, which does not lower her status as a princess.
Her appearance is so beautiful that it can surprise people at first sight. Her whole body has a brightness and agility that cannot be ignored.
Yes, after such a long period of conditioning, Shi Qingluo's appearance and skin condition have returned to their best.
Coupled with her unique temperament and the etiquette and manners for attending banquets that she had cultivated in her previous life, she amazed those who met her for the first time.
Shi Qingluo's image completely subverted what these ladies had imagined.
I thought to myself that this woman was not a village woman at all. She looked like a young lady from a wealthy family in the capital.
It was even more frightening when the ladies who wanted to make friends took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him.
Because no matter what they talked about, Shi Qingluo could always respond calmly and composedly, and it was obvious that he had a very high vision.
At this moment, many people no longer despised Shi Qingluo for being a village woman, but instead thought that she was worthy of being the disciple of the old immortal, and she looked quite imposing.
If Shi Qingluo knew what these people were thinking, he would probably be in a dilemma.
I will burn some incense for the master when I get back. Thank you so much for your care.
