But when he sensed the unmarried meaning in her words, the smile on his face disappeared, he looked at her solemnly, and said earnestly: "How can the girl's family not marry? My Zhuyu is a few years younger than you, and now We are already engaged to be in the first year of junior high school, and soon we may even have children. This idea of yours is very dangerous, so you must give up this idea quickly."
Chujiu didn't like listening to his ramblings, even though his starting point was for her own good.
But hearing him mention it every now and then would make her annoyed.
Besides, she had no idea at all about getting married.
Zhao Qian didn't notice that Miss Ninth was bothering him at all, and said directly: "I think your proposal is very good. If it doesn't work, I will tell the emperor that you can choose a husband from among a group of guards."
As he spoke, he nodded, deeply feeling that this idea was very feasible.
Chujiu was afraid that his mind would get hot and he really went to tell the emperor that if she refused then, she would be disobeying the decree. He quickly said: "Give me some more time and I will think about it again."
Hearing this, Zhao Qian nodded, "That's fine, you can take a look for yourself first. If you have someone you like, you have to tell me and I'll ask someone to propose marriage immediately."
The corners of Chujiu's mouth twitched.
Manager Zhao is too attentive. Besides, the man just went to the woman’s house to propose marriage. Why does it sound a little weird for the woman to go to the man’s house to propose marriage
But now is not the time to correct the flaws in his words. On the ninth day of the month, he listened with his left ear and spoke with his right ear.
The eldest princess's mansion.
Long Qingzhi was studying with Wanyanzhi in the backyard when the housekeeper came to report that Mrs. Li had handed over a message asking to see her.
Long Qingzhi had been married to Dan Jue for many years and only returned to Dashang last year. He was not very familiar with the noble ladies of the imperial capital.
She was even less impressed by this Mrs. Li, so she asked, "Who is Mrs. Li?"
The housekeeper was personally appointed by Long Yang when he was given it by the Changgong Mansion. He is a shrewd and capable housekeeper.
Hearing this, his eyes flickered for a moment before he said: "Mrs. Li is the wife of the Minister of Industry." He paused and lowered his voice, "Miss Li was once the queen appointed by the emperor. Later, I heard about Miss Li's behavior. If you behave improperly and run away with someone, the matter will be settled."
Although Long Qingzhi was far away in Danjue, she knew that many years ago, her brother had planned to marry a queen, but she did not marry her later. She did not know the specific reason.
When the housekeeper said this, she suddenly understood.
So that's what happened.
But why does Mrs. Li want to see her now
She frowned.
The housekeeper took a look at her expression, knowing that she was confused about Mrs. Li's sudden handover of the post, so he asked, "Does the eldest princess want to see her?"
Long Qingzhi was reluctant to get involved in matters related to Adi, but since they had submitted the post, it would not be good if she refused directly.
There was nothing else going on around her, so she thought about it and said, "Ask her to come in the afternoon."
The housekeeper nodded and went down to make arrangements.
Mrs. Li actually didn't hold much hope for delivering the post to the eldest princess's mansion.
She had heard a little bit about this eldest princess.
Since Dan Jue's return, she has always lived in seclusion and rarely interacted with ladies in the capital.
When she heard the servant reply that the eldest princess asked her to come over in the afternoon, she was a little confused.
Things went so smoothly that she couldn't believe it.
After coming back to her senses, she quickly went to the house of her eldest daughter, Li Tong'er.
Li Tong'er is already twenty-eight years old this year, but her fair skin and beautiful appearance, coupled with her frail figure, make her look very young. At first glance, she doesn't look twenty-eight years old, but more like she is in her early twenties. She has the aura of a sickly beauty, which is very pitiable.
