After half a cup of tea, Feng Jinyu's emotions stabilized.
Lying quietly and weakly on the bed, staring at the bed curtains in a daze.
It seems that his illness is difficult to cure, so his father is thinking of arranging a marriage for him to bring him good luck.
"Go to the palace and pass on the message. This prince... wants to see the emperor. This prince... cannot ruin the girl of the Xie family..."
Xu Mo knew Feng Jinyu's personality very well and followed his wishes. "Okay, Your Majesty, I will arrange for someone to go to the palace to pass on the message. It's getting late today, and the Emperor won't come until after the court meeting tomorrow."
"Then... go and arrange for someone to deliver the message now."
Xu Mo nodded and left the room. The courtyard outside had been completely renovated, and the entire Crown Prince's Mansion was filled with joy and happiness.
Mother Zhang was leading the maids, servants and palace maids to clean up the yard. When she saw Xu Mo coming, she quickly pulled him aside.
Qinglian glanced at Zhuyue who was busy pasting window flowers, picked up a big red lantern, and walked over calmly.
"Xu Mo, tell me the truth, does the prince's body not last for a few more years? That's why the emperor suddenly granted the prince a marriage to bring good luck?"
Xu Mo naturally couldn't tell the truth to Mother Zhang. He had to hide the fact that the prince might have no heir from the prince. Otherwise, given the prince's temper, he would probably disobey the order to the end.
"Don't worry, the prince will definitely get better. He should have someone who understands his feelings by his side. Once the prince gets married, maybe he will get better soon."
Mother Zhang understood that it would be difficult for the prince to recover from his illness. She hoped that the prince would get better soon after the princess came home.
"You're right. The prince not only needs someone who understands his feelings, but we also need a princess."
"Mother Zhang, when the princess enters the house, we must serve her well and show her respect. We must not offend her. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
"It's getting late, the prince's dinner should be prepared..."
Xu Mo waited until he could no longer see Zhang's mother before turning back to his room.
"Your Highness, I have sent a message to the palace."
Feng Jinyu opened her eyelids and glanced at him, "Okay, you all can go down and rest, there's no need to guard here."
"Your Majesty, I have something to say."
Xu Mo must find a way to make Feng Jinyu agree to get married.
"Then sit down and talk slowly."
"Your Highness, have you ever thought about why the Emperor granted you a marriage when you were so sick, and why he wanted the marriage to be completed in seven days?"
Feng Jinyu smiled softly, "Your Majesty, this is superstition. He wants to change your luck with a wedding. But Your Majesty also has good intentions. You have followed me in my work, so you must know that in folk situations like mine, people try to resolve bad luck by getting married. However, there are very few men who are sick and weak who can get married to change their luck. Most of them die soon after they get married. Most of those who are forced to get married to change their luck end up with a miserable life. So, I absolutely do not agree to get married to change my luck. I don't want to ruin Miss Xie's life."
Xu Mo said, "Your Highness, what you said is biased. Those girls who were forced to have a wedding to bring good luck are not necessarily living a bad life. They can have children and gain a firm foothold in their husband's family."
"Yes, Your Highness!" Li Yuanliang quickly agreed. "They aren't necessarily forced to go. Maybe they're willing to go. If they get pregnant, and it's a boy, their in-laws won't treat them harshly. Instead, they'll be honored by having a child!"
Feng Jinyu turned his head to look at the two of them, his eyes full of surprise, "Why do I feel that you are looking forward to my marriage?"
"Yes, Your Highness. Of course we hope that you can marry and have children. The young lady from the Xie family might be willing to marry into our family to bring good luck."
Feng Jinyu was silent for a moment. "Tell me the truth, can't I hold on for much longer?"
Xu Mo said: "With Elder Lu here, Your Highness will definitely get better, but Your Highness will be weaker than an ordinary person after you have recovered."
"It doesn't matter if you're a little weak. There's no rush to consider getting married and having children after you've recovered."
But the emperor is anxious, and the empress dowager is anxious!
"Your Highness, you must be anxious. You must have a child as soon as possible. You must think about the country of Beiyi. How will you handle the affairs of state in the future if you are weak?"
Feng Jinyu suddenly realized that his father was in a hurry to arrange a marriage for him because he wanted him to give birth to a son as soon as possible!
He had been diligently handling state affairs, all because he wanted to ascend to a high position and make Xiao Lingyu the most honorable woman in Beiyi as soon as possible.
But now I’m not so obsessed with it anymore.
"The Third and Fourth Princes can naturally help Father handle state affairs and help share his burden."
Xu Mo scratched his head. How could the prince not be anxious?
"Your Majesty, the Third and Fourth Princes are not strong enough to help Your Majesty handle state affairs, and Your Majesty cannot let them share the burden. According to spies, the Second Prince's biological mother gave birth to a little prince for Your Majesty some time ago. The little prince looks very similar to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty loves him very much. Cui Wan has also been reinstated as a noble concubine because of her son's status. Your Majesty is now in good health, and it is very likely that he will be appointed as the crown prince in the future. Your Majesty, are you willing to let the little prince who is half Cui's blood inherit the throne in the future?"
Li Yuanliang took over and said, "If the Second Prince hadn't framed you for rebellion, you and Princess Xiao would have been married long ago. Ultimately, it was the Cui family who harmed you. Even if another prince inherits the throne in the future, it can't be the young prince, Your Majesty!"
Feng Jinyu frowned deeply. Concubine Cui was still alive, and the second prince was only demoted to a commoner. Now he was sick and weak, and might die soon.
Given Concubine Cui's vengeful character and the fact that the princess was the mastermind behind the downfall of the Cui family, she would inevitably be retaliated by Concubine Cui!
"You are right. Beiyi Jiangshan cannot fall into the hands of the Cui family, but is Miss Xie really willing to marry here to bring good luck?"
Li Yuanliang and Xu Mo breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Feng Jinyu had softened his stance.
"Your Highness, now that the marriage has been granted, Miss Xie is your fiancée. You can summon her to attend to your illness and inquire about her wishes."
"Attending to the sick?" Feng Jinyu frowned deeply upon hearing this word. "Don't talk nonsense. How can a girl who is still unmarried come to attend to the sick? Isn't this your job?"
"Yes, yes, Your Highness. This is our job. We are happy to serve You." Xu Mo said hurriedly.
The princess hasn't even entered the palace yet, but they've already started protecting her.
This girl from the Xie family is really lucky.
"Then tomorrow I will personally go to the Duke of Anguo's mansion to invite Miss Xie into the house?"
Feng Jinyu nodded slightly: "No need to neglect it."
"Yes, Your Majesty, where is the bridal chamber?"
Feng Jinyu glared at him and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Let's talk about it after we meet Miss Xie tomorrow."
Xu Mo and Li Yuanliang left the room, looking much more calm.
"Xu Mo, do you think the girl from the Xie family would be willing to marry here to bring good luck?"
Xu Mo recalled Xie Wanyi's face, but now he has no impression of her.
"They should be willing. When Elder Lu was sent here by the Xie family, I sent someone to the Xie family to check. It was Miss Xie who brought Elder Lu from Huangjue Temple this morning to see her grandmother! We have been searching for Elder Lu for several days but couldn't find his whereabouts. It was the Xie family who brought him here. I can only say that Miss Xie and our prince are destined to be together."
