Zhao Minggeng felt very wronged. He only went to have his pulse checked because he felt palpitations. Otherwise, who would bother to take someone's pulse?
Going to a clinic is considered unlucky, but he didn't complain at all. Instead, the old doctor thought he was being pretentious.
Seriously, he's so angry!
Because of his anxiety, Zhao Minggeng's work efficiency was not high today.
However, thanks to his work experience, he was able to complete the task smoothly that day.
After leaving the office, Zhao Minggeng hurried back home, fearing that something might have happened at home.
After all, in the first few days, he felt like he was being followed every day.
Since he hadn't caught anyone, Zhao Minggeng was certain that the other person's lightness skill was definitely better than his own.
Therefore, Zhao Minggeng never dared to let his guard down.
Although there are several guards in the house, their martial arts skills are not as good as his.
My two sons are also fragile, no way.
Zhao Minggeng returned home much faster than usual today.
Upon arriving home, I learned that Zhao Qingyan had returned with her granddaughter.
Zhao Minggeng instantly forgot all his worries and just wanted to hug his granddaughter.
Upon entering the living room, Zhao Minggeng realized something was amiss; his three children seemed poised to conduct a joint interrogation.
Zhao Minggeng left the living room again, glanced at the sky and his own door frame, and thought that his posture when he came in was correct, before going back inside.
"I said, what's wrong with you three? I've been feeling uneasy all day, worried that something might have happened at home."
Your expressions are making your father even more worried.
Tell me, what terrible thing has happened that our Zhao family can handle?
Zhao Minggeng said very directly,
It was practically saying, "If our Zhao family can't handle this, we'll go out and ask others for help."
After the three siblings looked at each other, Zhao Qingyan finally spoke.
"Dad, you and Mom have been divorced for so many years, why don't you remarry?"
Don't interrupt me, let me finish explaining the other party's situation.
The other person should be two or three years younger than the father, and be widowed with no children.
He was well-versed in poetry and literature from a young age, and was proficient in all kinds of poems, lyrics and songs.
The only thing I'm not good at is cooking.
However, their family was very wealthy. They had plenty of servants to attend to them.
No betrothal gifts are needed. If Father doesn't care about saving face, I'd even accept the marriage proposal.
As for her appearance, she is much prettier than my own mother; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she has a beautiful face.
I've just reached a certain age and want to find someone who understands and cares for me to spend my life with.
What's Dad thinking?
After hearing this, Zhao Minggeng looked at Zhao Qingyan as if she were a fool.
"Daughter, you've always been the smartest in the family, so why are you talking nonsense today?"
With a wife from such a good family background, why would she choose to marry an old man like me?
Finding a young man would be fine, and you wouldn't have to be a stepmother. What's the point?
Do you like me because I'm ugly, or because I have a lot of wrinkles on my face?
"Girls, have you run into some scammers?"
Zhao Qingyan knew that, given her father's thought process, he certainly wouldn't say anything nice.
So they got straight to the point.
"Father, don't belittle yourself yet. I'll ask you who that person is, and you should think it through before you answer your daughter..."
When Zhao Minggeng learned that Princess Yanyue had taken a liking to him, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
For a man to be favored by a princess of a country would first and foremost satisfy his vanity.
Moreover, Princess Yanyue is beautiful, gentle, quiet, dignified, knowledgeable, sensible, and multi-talented.
She possesses many advantages and also holds the most prestigious status.
Every man would be tempted, okay?
As for career advancement, that seems completely unimportant.
Isn't the purpose of entering officialdom simply to change one's social standing?
So what if someone marries into the imperial family? They did it based on their own merits, didn't they?
Seeing her father's smug expression, Zhao Qingyan quickly poured cold water on him.
"Father, the princess only selected those who met the criteria, and she chose you."
It wasn't that she had deep feelings for her father or couldn't forget him.
Therefore, if Father is considering remarrying, he also feels that Her Highness the Princess is quite suitable.
That daughter can arrange for the two of you to meet outside.
At that time, Father can have a good talk with Her Highness the Princess.
If you two can find common ground, I'm willing to give up my current position as a senior official in the Ministry of Revenue.
Presumably, the marriage between Father and Princess will be successful.
Dad, you really hit the jackpot.
To marry the princess
Father, you don't need to worry about any of your past concerns. She's the perfect wife.
After calming down and thinking it over carefully, Zhao Minggeng felt that it seemed quite good.
If he marries a princess, will he be able to travel around like his parents in the future?
The more I think about it, the more beautiful it seems.
Zhao Minggeng pondered for a whole night, and the next day he sent a letter to the Xu residence.
Zhao Qingyan smiled after reading the letter.
His father's concerns about marrying a troublemaker were all nonsense.
That's because they haven't met someone who's both good-looking and has good qualities.
Look, after running into Princess Yan Yue, he only thought about it for one night before agreeing to meet her.
Pshaw, a man's mouth is a lying devil.
Now that she had received a reply from her father, Zhao Qingyan didn't put on airs and quickly took Fu Nan straight to the princess's residence.
Princess Yan Yue looked noticeably nervous today.
After exchanging greetings, Zhao Qingyan quickly told him that her father had agreed to the meeting.
The time and place are all arranged by the princess.
The princess was very pleased with this.
They agreed to meet at Huicui Pavilion three days later, on Zhao Minggeng's day off.
Zhao Qingyan hosted a meal for the princess.
Zhao Qingyan hurried back to make arrangements, as this concerned her father's happiness for the rest of his life.
Moreover, a princess's precious body cannot afford any mishaps.
If it weren't for the need to avoid attracting attention, Zhao Qingyan would have booked out the entire Huicui Pavilion after three days of closure.
Thinking about all that money, forget it, making money is still the most important thing.
The number of people working at the Hui Cui Pavilion is in the hundreds or even thousands, and they all need to be supported.
Even a single day of closure is a huge loss.
Xu Dongsheng was quite surprised to learn that his cousin was going to have a blind date with her father-in-law.
"Wife, daughter-in-law, how should we determine our generational relationship from now on?"
Should I call Princess Yanyue my cousin, or should I call her "Mother"?
Zhao Qingyan rolled her eyes at Xu Dongsheng.
"Each person has their own way of speaking and calling each other. We cannot stop two unfortunate people from moving towards happiness because of the issue of seniority."
Besides, my dad and your cousin aren't related by blood.
Right now, it's just the two of them meeting up and getting to know each other.
"We haven't gotten past the Emperor yet; we just don't know if he'll force us to separate."
Xu Dongsheng hesitated. Although the person in the palace was his maternal uncle, he didn't really know that person that well.
All I know is that he's someone who doesn't play by the rules and always seems to thrive on chaos.
Now that my father-in-law wants to marry my cousin, I wonder if the Emperor will consider this generational issue as much as I do.
Forget it, those are not things he, as a junior, should worry about. It's better to coax his wife to sleep.
Since becoming pregnant, Zhao Qingyan has been quite sleepy.
