What Du Hanfei said is true. Although he is the prime minister, if he marries the princess, he will naturally have high aspirations, but now the princess cannot be married.
Looking at the entire capital, there are really few people who can match him.
In early May, Huo Tianxiu held a haircut ceremony for Huo Wenshu. He was very interested in Huo Wenshu. Although she was only Huo Tianxiu's niece, Huo Tianxiu treated her like his own daughter.
If his son could marry Huo Wenshu and get married to Huo Tianxiu, he would really stomp his feet in the court from now on and the whole capital would tremble.
It's a pity that his two sons are not up to par, and they can't even compare to that reckless man of the Zhao family.
At Huo Wenshu's hair-raising banquet, Huo Tianxiu took her to Du Hanfei's table and took her to thank the guests. He then winked at his two sons.
Du Kun and Du Ming were very attentive, but Miss Huo didn't even look at them.
Seeing her two sons following her around, they looked like two slaves no matter how you looked at them.
Especially when Huo Wenshu went to Zhao Xingwen's table, he took a quick look at Huo Wenshu's shy look towards Zhao Xingwen and knew that his son was in trouble.
If it had been anyone else, he could have fought.
But if Huo Wenshu and Zhao Xingwen are in love, he doesn't want to quarrel with the Zhao family just yet.
Du Hanfei saw that Zhao Xingwen was affectionate towards Huo Wenshu, so he called his two sons back, and then he and Huo Tianxiu said goodbye in advance on the grounds of physical discomfort.
Except for Huo Wenshu, no one can really catch Du Hanfei's eyes.
Now, Li Fei proposed to marry Shi Jiaying to Du Kun. She was really the most well-matched girl that Du Kun could marry now.
What's more, he also knew that Concubine Li's intention was to make both of them feel more at ease.
"Since you are satisfied, I will go to Shi Mansion to discuss it with Mrs. Shi tomorrow. I have already told her that if you choose a good day, I will back up the gift." Concubine Li agreed happily when she saw him. , and everyone was happy.
"Wei Chen thanked the empress and left first." Du Hanfei nodded and left.
Li Fei nodded, waved her delicate hand towards him, and glanced at Lian Yan. Lian Yan stepped forward knowingly and led the way for Du Hanfei.
Therefore, Du Hanfei went to Shi Mansion the next day to discuss the wedding date with Shi Jiaying's mother. According to Li Fei and his wishes, the sooner the better, the better.
Before he came, he had asked someone to calculate it, and June 6th of next month would be an auspicious day.
But Mrs. Shi wanted to postpone it for a while, because the Shi family army would personally welcome the Mongolian princess back to Beijing at the end of the month.
General Shi couldn't be absent from Shi Jiaying's marriage. Du Hanfei couldn't argue with what he said. If General Shi was stationed at the border all year round, he wouldn't have to worry about it.
It happened that he was about to return to Beijing with the Mongolian princess at this time, so it was reasonable to wait for him.
However, if General Shi returns to Beijing, it will be Xiao Yanjun's wedding. Naturally, it cannot be held at the same time as Xiao Yanjun. Otherwise, all the civil and military officials in the court will go to congratulate His Highness King Yu. Where should he put his old face? .
But it cannot fall behind Xiao Yanjun's wedding. Although the Prime Minister's Mansion is not short of money, and General Shi's Mansion is certainly not short of money, the wedding at their two mansions cannot exceed the specifications of the prince's wedding.
Since it couldn't be exceeded and it was held after his wedding, it naturally didn't look very grand.
So, they had a discussion.
Finally, the date was set for July 6th.
Du Hanfei discussed some details of the wedding with Mrs. Shi in Shi's Mansion. It was not until the second watch of the gong that Du Hanfei realized that it was too late and took his leave.
After he returned home, he ordered Mingyi to call Du Kun to the study.
Du Kun had already rested, but was suddenly knocked on the door by Ming Yi. As he followed Ming Yi towards the study, he was surprised that his father could call him to see him so late.
After he entered the study, he bowed respectfully and called: "Father."
Du Hanfei nodded to him, pointed to the chair and motioned for him to sit down.
Du Kun sat down in the direction he pointed, and then Du Hanfei said to him: "Your marriage has been decided. You will marry General Shi's daughter Shi Jiaying on July 6th."
"But it's up to my father to make the decision." Du Kun replied respectfully.
"The young lady of the Shi family is no worse than the ninth princess. Now that I think about it, maybe it was a good thing that the emperor didn't agree." Du Hanfei said with a hint of self-deprecation on his lips.
Being able to marry a princess is naturally a great favor from the emperor, and being married to the emperor is noble, but Du Kun's life in the future may not be easy.
Especially the princess, and His Royal Highness King Mo. Du Kun looked at Du Hanfei with a wry smile, and couldn't help but have doubts on his face.
In this capital, there is no one else but Mr. Xiahou who is as powerful as Du Hanfei but does not have a concubine.
The people in the capital praised and envied this pair for life.
Apart from Xia Weimou and Zhao Lansheng, there are only Prime Minister Du and Princess Yirou.
It's a pity that Zhao Lansheng's beauty has long since faded away, and now the only people talking about it are the pair of Prime Minister Du and Princess Yirou.
The people only thought that Du Hanfei was as infatuated as Xiahou Ye, but only Du Hanfei knew in his heart that Xiahou Ye and Zhao Lansheng were truly a couple of gods.
And he, huh.
That is, I dare not take a concubine.
That year, he was named the top scholar in the gold medal list.
He originally thought about returning home in fine clothes to pick up the girl Xiuxiu who was in his heart, but who would have thought that Emperor Xiao Zu fell in love with him and insisted on giving Princess Yirou to Du Hanfei.
In the end, he chose power and married Yirou. He also thought about accepting Qi Xiuxiu and secretly sent someone to pick her up in Beijing.
Unexpectedly, what he received was Xiuxiu's body.
At that time, he only had an official position in the Hanlin Academy and had no power. Although he knew who did it, he could only swallow his anger.
Later, even the maids in the prime minister's house, who looked somewhat similar to Xiuxiu, all died of unexplained deaths.
He completely stopped thinking about it from that moment on.
He decided to become a powerful minister.
Now that he has done it, he can no longer stop.
"My father's choice will definitely be good." Du Kun said, pulling Du Hanfei back from his thoughts.
"Tomorrow, my father will take you to Xiapin. You should go back and rest early." Du Hanfei nodded and waved to Du Kun after speaking.
As he recalled the past, his interest waned, and he suddenly didn't want to talk any more.
Seeing this, Du Kun had no choice but to say yes, bowed and then retreated.
Du Hanfei leaned on the chair and pinched his eyebrows. Xue Xiuguo's note had been handed to the palace from Wanzhou.
Tomorrow morning, it will be time to close the net...
