The emperor looked at his daughter, who was grinning and distracted, and felt helpless. "Father asked you which one you like, why are you grinning?"
Yongchun thought about it and replied truthfully: "Although the people chosen by the emperor are good, they are not suitable for me!"
The emperor considered his daughter's agreement and also her disagreement, but he never expected her to say it was inappropriate. "Oh, then tell me, what is inappropriate?"
"First of all, my cousin Lu Feiyun is not an option. He is from my mother's family. If I marry him and there is a conflict with him, my mother will be in trouble. It will be difficult to choose! In that case, either my mother or I will be wronged. It's not worth it.
Then there is Xie Chengyuan from the Marquis Xuanping's Mansion. I don't get along with his sister Xie Zixin and don't want to become her sister-in-law and help her clean up the mess in the future.
Zhou Zhiquan is the elder brother of my good friend. If I have a conflict with him in the future, Princess Shuxian will be in a dilemma.
I am quite satisfied with Sun Changping, the eldest grandson of Marquis Sheng'en, but he is the eldest son and is truly talented. He has passed the imperial examination and is now a respectable official. It would be inappropriate to choose him as a consort at this time.
"On the contrary, Sun Changkun, the second-in-law grandson of Marquis Sheng'en, is quite suitable for me, but my situation is known to all the nobles of Yuan'an. I have liked others before, but I don't know if they are willing. I don't want to force anyone."
The emperor watched his daughter speak such a long paragraph, which was full of rationality and had no little girl's mentality at all. He didn't know why, but he felt sad.
He got angry when his daughter acted foolishly, but when she finally regained her composure, he wasn't as happy as he'd imagined. Ultimately, he was deeply hurt, and the emperor hated Xie Yunshen even more, even taking his anger out on the Xie family.
"My daughter is so good, who else can be worthy of her? If he could take a fancy to someone, his ancestors would be so proud. How could he not be willing?"
The emperor comforted his daughter in this way, but what he was thinking in his heart was that if anyone dared to refuse, he would let his entire family go downstairs to see the emperor.
At this moment, the emperor was still regretting that he had been too nice to Xie Yunshen.
"Father, you are so good to me!" At this moment, Yongchun felt that with such a good father, she would be willing to marry anyone.
The emperor must have been happy to see his daughter acting so coquettishly, but he still rationally brought the subject back.
"Don't get carried away. Are you really interested in Sun Changkun? I heard he doesn't like studying and his martial arts skills are mediocre. He likes business, and his looks are just okay!"
Yongchun heard her father describe it this way. This was a completely different type of person from Xie Yunshen! She was actually a little curious, "Father, can you arrange for us to meet? This kind of thing always requires mutual consent!"
The emperor had no illogical thoughts at this time. Seeing that his daughter was really interested, he almost patted his chest and promised that he would make arrangements.
The emperor didn't know what to feel at this moment. He probably wouldn't be very happy that his daughter chose the people he suggested. He was also quite disappointed that his daughter didn't choose those people.
Anyway, he would not admit it. He still felt relieved that his daughter did not choose the people he mentioned.
On that day, Marquis Sheng'en received a hint from the emperor. As soon as he returned home, he immediately called together all the male members of the family who could participate in the important event.
Marquis Sheng'en spoke with a thunderous roar, "The Emperor has chosen Changkun as the consort of Princess Yongchun."
Sun Changkun originally thought that he was just here to listen to the important events in the court, just to watch the fun, but he didn't expect that the fun was about him.
This was a piece of cake for Sun Changkun. "Are you interested in me?"
Sun Changkun pointed at himself in disbelief as he spoke. How could he be the one to get such a good thing?
The others present were also in disbelief. They knew their own son well, and among the other noble children of Yuan'an, Sun Changkun wasn't particularly outstanding. They all thought their grandfather/father had made a mistake.
Marquis Sheng En nodded quickly, "Yes, I have confirmed with the emperor repeatedly that he has set his sights on Sun Changkun. What do you think, Changkun?"
"Of course I am willing! Very much willing." Sun Changkun's smile was almost reaching his ears.
Sun Changkun really wasn't forced at all. He wasn't good at either literature or martial arts, so he just liked to do some small business. But he thought he would only have to rely on his parents and brother in this life, but he didn't expect to have the opportunity to rely on his wife.
Moreover, Princess Yongchun is the emperor's only daughter, and is a good friend of the queen's niece. She also has a good personality and is not overbearing.
This is the support he could never find in his dreams, no, madam!
Marquis Sheng En was quite satisfied with his grandson's reaction. This was indeed a blessing for his grandson. However, some things still needed to be made clear in advance, otherwise, if something unexpected happened, the royal family would not be easily messed with.
"Don't laugh yet. You've heard about what happened between Princess Yongchun and Xie Yunshen, right? Do you mind?"
Sun Changkun really thought Xie Yunshen was stupid. Not to mention that the prince only liked him, the second legitimate son, even if he liked his elder brother Sun Changping, his elder brother would definitely agree happily.
Didn't he see his elder brother looking at him with envy right now? The prince consort just didn't have real power, but he had every bit of nominal position, status, and power. He was respected without having to strive for anything, so why was he so hypocritical?
"What's there to worry about? It's just a fool who doesn't know what's good. What does it have to do with Your Highness? As long as Your Highness is willing to live a good life with me, that's enough."
"Okay, prepare well. The Emperor will arrange for you to meet His Highness. If that doesn't happen, just cry at home!"
After saying this, the Marquis of Sheng'en dismissed the group. He was also happy for his descendants' cleverness. If this worked, they, the Marquis of Sheng'en, would also be related to the royal family.
Zhou Qiongyue had no idea that she and her friend had just dealt with a scumbag two days ago, and now her friend's husband was about to be found.
However, since the matter had not yet been finalized, no news had come out from the royal family. The Sheng'en Marquisate was keeping it a secret, not even telling the women in the family, fearing that if the news leaked out, someone would steal their man away.
So Zhou Qiongyue didn't know about this at the moment. After she planted all the seeds she bought in her yard, she resumed her leisurely life.
Occasionally, I would bring a midnight snack to my father who was busy in the front yard, and of course my grandfather would also bring some. But my grandfather might be the one who came along.
Zhou Qiongyue was able to be so relaxed because the people around her were so capable. Gulan was now in charge of her shop and farm. Whenever there was something she reported, Gulan would handle it first and then review it for her.
As for her newly opened grocery store, Yu Hai and his wife were managing it well. Luo Yong also hired people to clean up his grandmother's peach farm and planted crops on the vacant land.
