Dress up as a sickly person to capture the villain princess!

General Sima was relieved to see that the emperor was not displeased, and he smiled happily and spoke quickly.

"Speaking of which, I also have a daughter, who often gives me headaches in the mansion."

"Your Majesty, my daughter has reached the age of marriage. Today, taking advantage of the loyal and brave young marquis's favor, I dare to ask Your Majesty for a favor."

"I wonder if Your Majesty has any husband you like to introduce to my daughter."

Although he was a military general, General Sima also grew up in a large mansion, so he knew very well that if he directly asked the emperor to marry his daughter to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

Then this would inevitably be a fierce pull on the dragon's reverse scale, challenging the imperial power and majesty.

Your Majesty has not yet spoken, but your subjects have already started to be picky.

Therefore, I can only let His Majesty make the decision under the excuse of "double happiness". If it can be accomplished, I believe His Majesty will definitely approve this beautiful marriage.

I have finally fulfilled my daughter's request.

But if it doesn't work, then even if I kneel outside the palace for three days and three nights, His Majesty will not agree.

Compared with the maturity and sophistication of General Sima, Marquis Zhongyong was more or less green and foolish. He knew in his heart that the old man Nuo Zimu wanted his daughter to marry him.

This way he can control himself.

Although the title of Loyalty and Bravery is hereditary, it does not have much real power. If I really want to work under this old man Nuo Zimu, I don't know how much hardship I will have to endure.

By then, it will be like a son-in-law who marries into the family.

How can I have any face left?

There was no doubt that the daughter of the Minister of Rites chosen by his mother was the most suitable marriage partner for him. At least she was much better than having the old man Nuo Zimu as his father-in-law.

The emperor withdrew his hand and thought seriously.

"My dear, as a father, it is natural for you to think about your daughter. I understand that."

"Well, let me think about it, which talented men in this continent have not yet married."

"Oh, by the way, Marquis Zhongyong, you just said that you want to find a wife, so wouldn't this be the best of both worlds?"

The expressions on the faces of the ministers sitting under the table were all wonderful, and only a few old foxes who were shrewd and calculating secretly admired him in their hearts. The old ones are still the best, and General Sima is indeed a veteran minister of two dynasties, and he is simply a worm in your majesty's stomach.

"Your Majesty... Thank you for your kindness."

"But I already have a favorite candidate in my mind, I hope Your Majesty will grant me the favor!"

Lu Boshan was trembling all over. He knew that what he was doing was risky. However, if he accepted it at this moment, he would fall into the trap of the old man Nuo Zimu.

Then, your marriage is granted by the Emperor, and you cannot regret or cancel it.

The emperor's smile froze on his face. He obviously did not expect that the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, who was kneeling in front of the hall, would reject his proposal.

He was a little unhappy, but didn't show it.

Instead, he behaved in a friendly manner.

"Oh, dear, tell me, did I do something bad with good intentions?"

"I wonder... who is your sweetheart?"

Nuo Zimu lowered his head and covered it with his hands. He glanced at Lu Boshan who was kneeling on the ground. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He didn't know what was wrong with his daughter's brain to fall in love with such a guy.

I'm afraid that today, His Majesty's rage will be difficult to extinguish.

"To answer your Majesty, she is the daughter of the Minister of Rites."

In the end, he told everything that was on his mind.

As soon as these words were spoken, the attention of the court officials sitting around them was focused on the Minister of Rites who was sitting at the end.

Xia Yizhi's forehead was covered with cold sweat, which wet his black hat. He did not dare to look towards the front of the palace. If he did not say anything at this time and pretended that he did not know anything, the emperor would not embarrass him.

By doing this, he would at most offend the Mansion of the Loyal and Brave Marquis, but if he offended His Majesty, he would lose both his head and his official hat.

No matter what, the title of Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is a hereditary one, and the palace has a royal decree. Even if Your Majesty is furious, he will not take the life and title of Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery because of this matter.

Now all the officials in the court are dissatisfied because His Majesty the Emperor has appointed Princess Changyi as the crown prince. If the hereditary nobles are discouraged at this time, I am afraid that His Majesty's throne will be in jeopardy.

The way of an emperor is to maintain balance. If the balance is lost, the throne will be unstable.

Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it.

"As for that child, Lin'er often mentioned it to me. Actually, Lin'er really likes that child. Not long ago, he asked me to take the child away, saying that he wanted to be his study companion."

"Alas, Marquis Zhongyong, I'm afraid this won't go as you wish."

"If you take that little girl back to be the wife of the Marquis, Lin'er will definitely lose her temper in front of me again. My dear ministers, you all know that I usually have no way to deal with Lin'er."

The words were so flawless that no loopholes could be found. Lu Boshan clenched his fingers tighter and tighter, knowing that His Majesty had already spoken.

Then this matter will most likely fail.

So he quickly answered.

"Your Majesty, the daughter of the Minister of Rites has reached the age of marriage. There are many noble ladies in this continent who admire your Highness. They must be more suitable to be your companions."

This unwillingness to let go made the emperor suspicious. It would be fine if Lin'er liked to be a little bit domineering in his daily life.

But what is the charm of the daughter of the Minister of Rites that can make Lin'er and the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery fall in love with her and lose their sense of right and wrong?

If someone with ulterior motives stays with Lin'er for a long time, it may become a serious problem.

Zhao Changlin has always been a man of the opinion that if he doubts someone, he won't employ him, and if he employs someone, he won't doubt him. If he can win her favor, he won't keep a close eye on her.

Even a magnanimous delegation of power.

This is both Lin'er's advantage and her disadvantage. No matter how loyal the other party is, as a person in power, she cannot let her guard down.

"In that case, Minister of Rites, she is your daughter, what will you do?"

Sitting at the end, Xia Yizi wished he could disappear right there, but His Majesty's voice startled him and he quickly stood up.

He bowed hastily.

"Your Majesty, you are the father of the world. The parents' orders and the matchmaker's words are naturally decided by your Majesty."

"I would like to thank Your Majesty on behalf of my daughter."

Xia Yizhi was the first to slide down and kneel, his tone was full of respect. But this made Lu Boshan who was standing by very angry. Now he was only one step away from success, but this damn old man always held him back.

"Hahahahahaha! Lord Xia is indeed funny and humorous."

"In this case, since Lord Xia's daughter is so popular, I must ask her what she thinks. If she is rashly taken home by the Loyal and Brave Marquis to get married, I'm afraid Lin'er will be angry with me again."

"I am also a father, so I naturally don't want to see my princess cry."

"That's it. This is the end of it."
