Chapter 365 Su Xue's Thoughts
Seeing that her son also had a frown on his face, the queen picked up the teacup beside her and sipped it gently.
"Lei'er, it's time to choose a princess."
Although there are many concubines in my son's house, the position of princess is always vacant. I think it's time to find one.
Find someone who is of equal status, who will be able to help him a lot when the time comes, just like that evil creature.
If it weren't for the princess' help, I would never have been able to turn things around in my life.
Thinking of this, he remembered something else and looked up at Han Mulei.
"By the way, Lei'er, were those grains really paid for by Prime Minister Qin's daughter?"
The amount of food needed to feed millions of people is not a small amount. Even she, the queen who has been in the palace for many years, cannot afford it. How could that woman have so much?
Given Prime Minister Qin's stingy nature, it is impossible for him to give such a large dowry to his daughter, let alone one who is not favored.
"It is said that it is. I don't know the specifics, but I am sure that the old man would definitely not be willing to give such a large dowry."
Han Mulei spoke with confidence. He had been in the same court with that old man for so many years and knew him very well.
He is a man who would rather sacrifice his life than his wealth. He would never give his daughter such a large dowry. He is also the most unpopular person.
As for why the woman had so much silver, he had no idea, but when he heard the old man say that the warehouse at home had been robbed, he thought it must be related to this.
Remembering what his mother had just said, he continued:
"Mother, please put the selection of concubines on hold for now. I don't have anyone I like yet."
He looked at the queen sitting in the main seat and naturally knew what his mother was thinking.
He also wanted to find one who could be used, but unfortunately, all the daughters of ministers had been investigated.
There was no one he liked. Either they were ugly, or they were talentless and had bad tempers.
She is simply incomparable to the beautiful concubines in his mansion. He is too lazy to even look at her, let alone live with her.
What's more, his body is in this condition now. If he chooses an unsatisfactory one, I'm afraid neither of the two brothers will be able to hold their heads up.
"There are so many ministers' daughters in the court, isn't there one you like?"
The queen frowned and looked at Han Mulei in front of her. This son was good in every way except that he was too arrogant.
There were many daughters of high-ranking officials, but none of them caught his eye.
After hearing what the queen said, Han Mulei fell silent. When the queen saw that her son was thinking about something, her eyes lit up.
"Lei'er, if you have someone you like, just tell me and I will definitely make it happen for you."
Looking at my son's expression, I can tell that he likes her, but it's hard to say it out loud.
After hearing what his mother said, Han Mulei let out a long sigh.
"Mother, there's really no one I particularly like. The only person I can consider acceptable is the eldest daughter of Minister Su."
I met her once in Beijing last time. Although she was not very beautiful, she was pretty. At least she looked quite dignified.
After hearing what her son said, the queen frowned even more tightly.
"Son, the eldest daughter of the Sushiro family is engaged to that bastard. You should find someone else!"
She also heard that the daughter of Minister Su was pretty, gentle and generous, but she had already been engaged to that bastard.
If I take it by force, I will definitely be criticized by the world, and it will not be good for my son's cause.
Han Mulei naturally understood this and nodded at the queen.
"Don't worry, mother. I know the seriousness of the matter. I was just talking."
At this moment in the Minister's Mansion, Su Xue was sitting in the front hall, smiling as she listened to her father talking about what happened in the court this morning.
There was a blush on her pink little face, and the tall and slender figure of the man kept flashing in her mind.
"Father, do you know when the prince will return to the capital?"
As soon as he saw his daughter like this, he knew what she was thinking, and Minister Su curled the corners of his mouth.
"If my father is not mistaken, he should be back during the Chinese New Year."
Now that King Chen has been acquitted of his crimes and has made such great contributions, it is definitely impossible for him to stay in the Far North.
But given King Chen's personality, he wouldn't come back immediately, as that would make him seem too eager.
The time to come back was just right during the Chinese New Year, with the excuse of visiting the Emperor and Concubine Jing, which was a very good reason.
“………………”Su Xue smiled but said nothing.
All her thoughts were written on her face. She wished that the man would return to the capital right away so that she could marry him sooner.
Fortunately, I did not act impulsively at the beginning. If I had canceled the marriage, I would be in a difficult situation now.
Knowing what his daughter was thinking, Su Shilang stroked his beard.
"Xue'er, as soon as Prince Chen returns to the capital, your father will petition the Emperor to allow you to get married as soon as possible."
If Prince Chen had not been exiled last year, his daughter would have been married into Prince Chen's palace long ago, and would probably have a child by now.
Thinking about this, I am really glad that I did not cancel the marriage at the beginning, otherwise I would not have had this good thing.
After this incident, King Chen made an indelible contribution. If nothing unexpected happens, the throne will definitely be his.
By then, my daughter will at least be a royal concubine, and the entire clan will also benefit from it.
After hearing what Minister Su said, Su Xue's face turned even redder.
"Just do as my father says!"
This is also what she hopes for most. Now that King Chen has restored his status and made such great contributions, he may be able to sit on that throne in the future.
By then, your status will be extremely noble, and you might even become the queen.
Although Qin Chuchu helped the prince a lot, the prince didn't like him after all, and this was something everyone in the capital knew.
After I get married, maybe I can monopolize the prince and become the only favorite in the harem in the future.
She was daydreaming, but in Qingzhou Prefecture, her dream really came true.
When I learned that the prince and princess wanted to exchange rice for their vegetables, and that the exchange was in the form of subsidies, I was so happy.
That rice is a fine grain, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people like them. Now it really is their dream come true.
After receiving the news, every household made up their minds not to eat vegetables for the next few days, saving them for the prince to exchange for rice.
When the people thought of the crystal clear white rice, they were all so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.
Another person who couldn't stop talking was Deputy General Zhao. He received a notice from the prince last night, asking him to take over Zhou Quan's affairs and manage the entire Qingzhou Prefecture.
From now on, I don’t have to go to the mountains to endure hardships anymore. I was so happy that I couldn’t sleep for half the night. I packed my luggage at night and moved into the government office of Qingzhou Prefecture.
He started arranging matters early in the morning, preparing to exchange food with the people two days later.
The enthusiasm was like a shot of chicken blood, and I couldn't stop.
Feng Yi was completely dumbfounded after hearing the news. In the past, he had Deputy General Zhao to keep him company and he would use him as a snack when he had nothing to do.
Now that he is gone, if I want to have a good meal in the future, I can only do it by myself. It makes me depressed just thinking about it.
Looking at the rough men training all over the mountain, he felt depressed to the extreme. As he watched, he spat out the dogtail grass in his mouth.
“…………”
No! We have to think of a way!
