General Ning was very pleased to hear this. He felt that his son was different now; the woman his son was interested in now must be gentle, kind, beautiful, virtuous, understanding, intelligent, filial, and…
After racking his brains for a long list of "again" options, General Ning couldn't think of anything else before looking at Ning Yirong and asking, "Son, which young lady have you taken a fancy to?"
"The Yun family."
"..." The Yun family is good, but, "Son, have you ever met any girls from the Yun family?" He only has one son, and he hopes his son will marry someone he loves. The Yun family has helped them a lot, but he doesn't want his son to marry a daughter of the Yun family just because they helped them.
"I've met you before." In my past life.
Then there's no problem. "Which girl from the Yun family?"
"Yun Xiaoliu".
General Ning wasn't in the capital before and had no dealings with the Yun family. He wondered how many children the Yun family had, and how old they were.
Later, after forming an alliance with the Yun family, General Ning heard of Sisi, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
Now that Ning Yirong says he has met Sisi, General Ning thinks that Sisi should be about the same age as Ning Yirong, or two or three years younger.
General Ning looked at Ning Yirong and asked, "Yun Xiaoliu isn't married yet, is he?"
"No." His beloved minister is only twelve years old this year.
General Ning was relieved.
The next day, General Ning officially ascended the throne.
After ascending the throne, the former General Ning, now Emperor Ning Yuan, issued two imperial edicts. The first was on how to provide relief to the people, and the second was to bestow a marriage upon Ning Yirong and Sisi.
Everyone present was stunned!
Especially those who know that Sisi is Fengchan's daughter!
Emperor Ningyuan, seeing their surprise, assumed they hadn't expected him to choose a crown princess so quickly.
Emperor Ningyuan originally wanted Ning Yirong to become emperor directly, but Ning Yirong refused.
The news spread quickly.
The former head eunuch, now Old Qi, was sitting on the porch, squinting in the sun, when one of his former godson's walked in from the doorway. "Grandpa, sunbathing?"
"Hmm. Sit down." He used to have three godchildren, but only this one would come to see him from time to time; the other two had long since stopped paying attention to him.
"Hey!" Ma Zhuo pulled a paper packet from his pocket and handed it to Old Man Qi. "I got some snacks, please have a taste."
Old Qi accepted it. "Thank you for your kindness."
"Of course, you often gave me these when I first entered the palace. Is your cough any better?"
"Much better."
"Then I'm relieved." Ma Zhuo sat down next to Old Man Qi and looked at him, saying, "Grandpa, do you still remember the Yun family?"
"I remember, why did you bring up the Yun family? Wasn't the Yun family exiled to the border long ago?"
"The Yun family is about to become royalty."
"Yeah?"
Ma Zhuo told Old Man Qi about Emperor Ningyuan's bestowal of marriage upon Ning Yirong and Sisi.
Old Man Qi could hardly believe his ears after hearing this! If Xiao Liu were to marry the Crown Prince, then... wouldn't he be able to receive the worship of the Crown Prince's grandson and the Crown Princess's grandson after he passes away?
Seeing the old man's surprise, Ma Zhuo said, "The ministers are also surprised. Grandfather, do you think that after Old Master Yun marries his granddaughter to the Crown Prince, he will demand that the Crown Prince become a saint like him?"
"Probably. The ministers didn't object?"
"It is said that some people wanted to object, but after being glared at by the Crown Prince, they dared not speak."
Why does the Crown Prince want to form a marriage alliance with the Yun family?
"It is said that the Yun family has already begun to help the Crown Prince."
"Is that so?" He always felt that things weren't that simple. The Yun family's contribution was great, but there were others whose contributions were even greater.
Old Qi wanted to ask Old Bai about it when Old Bai came to visit him. Old Qi also had the ability to send a message to Old Bai, asking him to come see him now.
However, Old Man Qi didn't want to use it. He felt that since Emperor Ningyuan had already issued the decree, it would be useless for him to tell Old Bai now.
Meanwhile, Lao Bai also found out.
Ning Yirong wanted to use his official status to trap Sisi. Since he wanted to trap Sisi, he wouldn't hide it; he would make a big fuss about it.
When Lao Bai found out, he immediately went to find Sisi.
Meanwhile, Yun Yuqi's ex-wife, Sun Wanjing, also found out.
Sun Wanjing thought Emperor Ningyuan had gone mad! "How could Your Majesty make her the Crown Princess? Her mother is a courtesan!"
Sun Wanjing's father, Master Sun, was afraid that his daughter would say the wrong thing. "Shut up! Do you want to get our whole family killed? The owner of Baihualou ran away with his family as soon as he heard that His Majesty had betrothed Miss Yun to the Crown Prince. The madam of Baihualou also ran away."
"...Why are they running away? They didn't do anything wrong."
Master Sun glared at Sun Wanjing. "What are we waiting for? Are we waiting for the Crown Prince to wipe them all out?"
"..."
Master Sun stared at Sun Wanjing and said, "Don't talk nonsense in the future. If you do, don't blame me for not showing any fatherly affection."
"...Father, what...what do you mean by that?"
"It means that if you die, the Crown Princess might still help your two sons."
"Father?!"
"Watch your mouth if you don't want to die."
After saying that, Master Sun left.
Sun Wanjing threw herself onto the bed and burst into tears. "How could this happen? How could this happen?"
Lao Bai found Sisi as quickly as possible.
Sisi, the 12th and 13th of the Zheng Sect, along with the chubby little Sun Xingmu, were roasting pheasants when Lao Bai arrived. "Little demon... um... Little Six, Emperor Ningyuan has issued an imperial decree, saying that you must marry his son."
Sisi's face immediately darkened!
Niu Mingjie was stunned when he heard this! How could Emperor Ningyuan do such a thing? Everyone at the border knows that Xiao Liu is his wife.
