Chapter 537 Extra: Lu Qionghua and He Lianji (VI)
"Qiong Hua, are you willing to marry Helian Ji and become the Crown Prince of Liang's consort?"
After thinking for a long time, Concubine Shu finally asked.
Although nothing really happened between my daughter and Helian Ji, it was almost the same.
After all, the two of them were in bed in disarray. If that got out, even if I were to become more tolerant of women now, it would still damage my daughter's reputation.
Although no one knows it now, there is no wall that is impenetrable, unless they kill Helian Ji.
But Helian Ji's identity was not someone they could kill easily. Moreover, Helian Ji was their daughter's savior that day, not to mention that he took the initiative to knock himself out and did not take advantage of his daughter.
From this we can see that this boy has a kind heart and is a good person.
If I could marry Qionghua, it might be a good thing.
Lu Qionghua was stunned.
Marry Helian Ji?
"Can't we let him become the royal consort?" Lu Qionghua frowned slightly.
Concubine Shu was overjoyed. Her daughter's question showed that she did not reject Helian Ji.
"The throne of Prince Liang will definitely be inherited by him in the future. I'm afraid the position of the royal consort is not appropriate for him." Concubine Shu shook her head.
"What did he say? Is he willing to marry me?" Lu Qionghua bit her red lips lightly.
Thinking about what happened yesterday, my cheeks turned slightly red.
It's not impossible for her to marry Helian Ji.
That idiot still has some integrity.
"My daughter is so good, how could he refuse her?" Concubine Shu vowed.
"Okay, then I will be responsible for him." Lu Qionghua snorted.
Concubine Shu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
But she finally got a definite answer from her daughter, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Two days later, Helian Ji was summoned into the palace and met Concubine Shu.
"I've met the Concubine Shu." Helian Ji was a little uneasy.
He knew the fighting ability of Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu was extremely strong and the Fifth Princess inherited her ability, so she beat him up when he was a child.
I don't know why the Concubine Shu asked him to come here today. She can't settle the score with him later, right?
He didn't touch the Sixth Princess, it was the Sixth Princess who did something to him.
If the Concubine Shu gets angry with him and punches him, will he still be able to survive?
Fortunately, the Sixth Princess did not inherit Concubine Shu's natural supernatural powers, otherwise, his innocence would be lost that day.
Helian Ji started to have wild thoughts in his mind.
"Good boy, sit down." Concubine Shu smiled very kindly.
But the softer her smile was, the more uncertain Helian Ji felt.
He sat down obediently.
She first chatted with Helian Ji about family matters and asked some questions about Prince Liang and Princess Liang, and Helian Ji answered them one by one.
Then, she changed the subject: "I heard that you are still unmarried. Can I find a matchmaker for you?"
As soon as she said this, Helian Ji understood what she was thinking.
Nine times out of ten, they hope to become a royal consort.
But he is the heir to the Prince of Liang's Mansion, so it is impossible for him to become a royal consort.
He answered cautiously, "I am naturally happy that the queen is willing to act as a matchmaker for me. However, marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words, so I am afraid my words will not count."
Concubine Shu stared at him and spoke in an amiable voice, "Don't worry, if you are willing to do this, I will send someone to Li'an City to inform Prince Liang and the Princess."
"I wonder which young lady the Queen wants to match me with?" Helian Ji asked knowingly.
"How is the Sixth Princess?" Concubine Shu stared at him closely.
If Helian Ji showed any reluctance in his eyes, she would never marry Qiong Hua to him.
"But I can't be a royal consort..." Helian Ji blurted out.
"What do you think about letting Qionghua be your Crown Prince's Consort and future Princess?" Concubine Shu asked again.
"That is the blessing I have earned in three lifetimes." Helian Ji replied quickly.
They had such intimate behavior that day, and he should indeed be held responsible to Lu Qionghua.
However, he did not come to his senses for a while, and only thought that he could not become a royal consort, but did not think that Lu Qionghua could become the crown prince's consort.
Seeing that his look was not fake, Concubine Shu was more satisfied with him.
"However, I have a condition." Concubine Shu spoke slowly.
"What conditions?" Helian Ji suddenly became nervous.
"You have to promise me that you will never take a concubine in this life, and there can only be Qionghua in the backyard." Concubine Shu said in a serious tone.
She had already suffered the hardships of having three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines, and she didn't want her daughter to go through the same thing.
Moreover, not all concubines could live in harmony like them.
Helian Ji was startled for a moment, then nodded: "I promise, Madam."
He never thought of taking a concubine.
Just look at his father and you will know that when there are many women in the harem, there will be many troubles.
And he fears trouble the most.
"Okay, it's still early, you can go see Qiong Hua. I will report this matter to the emperor and have someone write a letter to Prince Liang's Mansion." Concubine Shu finalized the matter with a smile.
Helian Ji nodded obediently and followed the palace maids in Shouxi Palace to Yu Garden.
From a distance, he saw Lu Qionghua sitting in the pavilion feeding fish.
"I've met the Sixth Princess."
"Why are you here?" Lu Qionghua was a little surprised to see him.
"The Concubine Shu asked me to come and accompany the princess to relax." Helian Ji answered honestly.
"I'm fine. I don't need you to accompany me to relax." Perhaps because of the close contact that day, Lu Qionghua always felt a little uncomfortable when looking at Helian Ji.
Helian Ji subconsciously wanted to retort: You think I wanted to come, but it was Concubine Shu who asked me to come.
But after thinking about it, he realized that if Concubine Shu knew about this, he would be in danger.
And the emperor is so vindictive.
If he offended Lu Qionghua, he would be doomed.
His future father-in-law is extremely powerful and holds a grudge, his future mother-in-law is highly skilled in martial arts, and his future princess consort is good at talking. He can never win in a verbal battle.
Helian Ji suddenly felt like he was on a pirate ship and wanted to cry but had no tears.
He had foreseen the miserable life that was to come.
"Are you mute? Why don't you speak?" Seeing that he didn't argue with her, Lu Qionghua felt a little uncomfortable.
"I'm afraid that Her Royal Highness the Princess won't like what I say." Helian Ji replied, pursing his lips.
"Oh, then don't say anything." Lu Qionghua said lightly.
Helian Ji was choked and speechless.
Looking at his frustrated expression, Lu Qionghua chuckled.
It's so much fun to play a trick on this guy.
Helian Ji saw that she was teasing him on purpose, and couldn't help but ask: "I wonder what Your Highness Princess thinks about you and I getting married soon?"
Now it was Lu Qionghua's turn to blush.
Helian Ji felt that he had turned the tables and smiled triumphantly.
Lu Qionghua knew exactly what he meant by this. She drank a cup of tea, suppressed her shyness, and snorted coldly.
"Of course, the wife is the husband's rule. You must obey me in everything."
"Nonsense, I've only heard that the husband is the guide for the wife, not the wife is the guide for the husband." Helian Ji immediately refuted.
"Well, now you've heard it." Lu Qionghua raised his eyebrows and smiled at him.
Helian Ji: ...
After a moment, he said in a muffled voice: "If the princess does not want to marry me, you can tell the Concubine Shu. I will keep my mouth shut about what happened that day."
