Since Yuan Bohua agreed to ask Fang Fu about this matter, he first sent someone to check Fang Fu's family situation and found that there was not much trouble.
After Fang Fu finished his business report, Yuan Bohua asked, "Has your family arranged a marriage for you?"
When Fang Fu heard the prince ask this, he stood up straighter and said, "Your Highness, no."
At this moment, Fang Fu's mind was frantically wondering what the prince meant by asking this question. Could it be that the person his parents had recently arranged for him to marry was not suitable? He had never heard his parents mention this matter before.
As for the possibility that the prince would find a matchmaker for him, he would never dare to think about it.
Yuan Bohua frowned, a little unconvinced. He looked up at Fang Fu and asked, "Really? Then why haven't you gotten married yet at such an old age?"
Fang Fu touched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "A few years ago, I had a fiancée. Later, when we were about to get married, she passed away due to illness. My family was afraid that I would be sad, so they just let me do what I wanted and didn't mention the marriage.
Your Majesty, I am only twenty this year, I am not that old! "
The last sentence is purely Fang Fu's explanation of his age.
Yuan Bohua thought that Yue'er's idea might not come true. Yue'er has always cherished her maids and definitely doesn't want Gumei to marry someone who has someone else in his heart.
But he still asked one more question, "So you're still thinking about your dead fiancée?"
Fang Fu didn't know why the prince asked him about these private matters, but he still answered truthfully, "A few years ago, yes. After all, we were about to get married and she passed away. I was really sad.
But after this drought, I've become more indifferent. Let's cherish what we have now!"
The more Yuan Bohua asked, the tighter his brows furrowed, but he continued asking, "Do you have a crush on someone now?"
Fang Fu looked at the prince with surprise. The balance in his heart finally tilted in the direction he thought was the most unlikely. He looked at the prince with burning eyes, "No, Your Highness! Are you trying to set me up?"
"I guess so! But I don't know if others will like you, a guy who has someone in his heart?" Yuan Bohua did not reveal too much, for fear that if the two of them didn't end up being together, it would be awkward for them to get along.
Fang Fu's eyes widened with joy upon hearing this. After he came to his senses and understood what the prince meant, he quickly cried out, "Your Highness, I'm wronged. I'm just sentimental, but I really don't have a sweetheart right now."
Fang Fu had a lot of guesses at this time. The only ones who could make the prince personally ask about it and who were worthy of him were probably the maids around the princess.
His heartbeat quickened as he thought of this. The four maids beside the princess were coveted by many people in the palace! Although they were maids, their temperament was even better than that of the daughters of small officials.
Fang Fu had already guessed which one it was, but after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't decide which one it was. He could only look at the prince with a curious look.
Yuan Bohua was afraid that if he continued chatting, the boy would ask who it was, so he quickly waved him away: "Alright, you can leave! I need to ask first."
Since the prince had said so, Fang Fu could only leave reluctantly, "Yes! I'll take my leave!"
After Fang Fu left, Yuan Bohua packed up and went to the backyard to find Zhou Qiongyue. Zhou Qiongyue didn't say anything, but just called Gu Mei over and asked her directly.
Gu Mei didn't care that Fang Fu had been engaged before, she was still willing.
Seeing this, Zhou Qiongyue didn't say anything else, but asked the prince to ask again.
Yuan Bohua... He felt that from this moment on, he could not imagine himself and Yue'er, in case he had a daughter. When choosing a husband, according to Yue'er's posture, he would have to investigate the entire Yuan'an noble family's backyard.
Yuan Bohua shuddered all over just thinking about it.
Finally, Yuan Bohua asked again, and his question was very direct, "What do you think of Gu Mei who is beside the princess?"
Fang Fu had already prepared himself mentally, so when Yuan Bohua asked him this, he knew why.
"Very good, capable and powerful. But how could Gu Mei be interested in a villain?"
At this point, Fang Fu had a reasonable suspicion that the prince was pulling strings all by himself. He definitely hadn't informed the princess, otherwise, with Gu Mei being pretty, skilled, and skilled in martial arts, how could she possibly be attracted to him?
Fang Fu thought that if the prince angered the princess, he would not be able to bear the princess's wrath.
So Fang Fu could only remind the prince so directly.
Fang Fu had been with Yuan Bohua since he was very young. So when Fang Fu said this, Yuan Bohua instantly understood what he meant and was speechless. "Am I such an unreliable person? It was the princess who brought it up."
When Fang Fu heard the prince say this, the smile on his face became even bigger. He quickly expressed his opinion, fearing that the duck that was about to reach the bowl would fly away. "I am willing to do it. It's a great honor. My parents will definitely be very happy too."
Seeing Fang Fu's smile that was worthless, Yuan Bohua poured cold water on him and said, "Don't grin like that yet. You have been following me for quite some time.
You know the princess' temper. If you ever let Gu Mei down, I won't be able to protect you."
"Your Majesty, if someone else were to marry me, you would be perfectly fine with worrying about this, but Gumei, your worry is unnecessary. You'd be better off worrying about me.
Gu Mei is so skilled that I'd probably be beaten if she gave me a hand. Furthermore, she also has medical skills, and medicine and poisons are inseparable.
If I have any bad ideas, it probably won't be the princess' turn to take action."
Fang Fu's smile didn't fade even a bit as he spoke of this. He was a smart man, and with a wife like him, their children would have a bright future, whether studying martial arts or medicine.
What's more, he also liked the feeling that his future wife was on par with him. There was no need for one to carefully accommodate the other, and the two of them could move forward hand in hand.
After listening to Fang Fu's words, Yuan Bohua felt that it made sense. He really couldn't easily do anything to Gu Mei. So he said with confidence: "Okay, you know what to do next, right?"
Fang Fu nodded quickly and vigorously. He would go and find out what Miss Gumei thought, then inform his parents and go to the princess to ask for her hand in marriage.
At this moment, Fang Fu had even decided in his mind what to name his and Gu Mei's child, and he happily left.
Yuan Bohua finally leaned back in his chair with a sigh of relief after seeing Fang Fu leave. He felt that he was not suitable for this kind of work. He decided to let the princess figure out the selection of Gu Ju and Gu Yu herself.
Yuan Bohua did not participate in what happened afterwards. Anyway, when he asked Zhou Qiongyue a few days later, Gu Mei and Fang Fu had already decided on the wedding date.
