Shen Yi's Darkness and Depression

Chapter 78 The Father's Covenant

"The old minister pays his respects to the emperor. May the sage live forever and live happily ever after~" Dugu Ruyuan knelt down and said as soon as he stepped into the Xuande Hall. It's anxiety, because I can't guess the emperor's intentions.

"Duke Wei, how are you doing?" Shen Yixiang sat on the dragon chair and looked at Dugu Ruyuan. It had been a long time since he had an appointment with the Dugu family alone. Since Prime Minister Dugu passed away, his son became a duke and became estranged from the royal family a lot. This Dugu Confucianism has both morality and talent. As a great Sima, he is upright. Although he is highly valued, the emperor loves and hates him.

"Thanks to Your Majesty's love, I'm all well." Dugu Ruyuan bowed deeply again.

"Su Rui, please give me a seat." Shen Yixiang gestured, and Eunuch Su hurriedly ordered someone to bring a seat for Dugu Ruyuan.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Dugu Ruyuan was still speculating about the emperor's intentions. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was the first time he had a private conversation with the emperor after he was named the Grand Sima. Usually, the emperor summoned the three princes to discuss state affairs.

"Aiqing, how should I make a decision about Hezhou? Hey~" Shen Yixiang sighed helplessly.

"I think that we can reduce the supply of food and grass first, and send someone to investigate carefully in the name of transportation, and it will not be too late for the emperor to make a decision." Dugu Ruyuan and Ze Fengduo had just discussed this matter at the gate of the hall. , True or false can only be judged after ascertaining the truth.

"This compromise is a good idea." Shen Yixiang nodded in agreement.

"My lowly minister is humble, thank you for your absurd praise, and please think twice before you act." Dugu Ruyuan knew that the emperor definitely didn't ask him to have a secret talk for this matter.

"Aiqing is humble, I will think about it carefully." Shen Yixiang said while asking Su Gonggong to serve tea to Wei Guogong.

"The emperor is wise." Dugu Ruyuan breathed a sigh of relief after drinking half a cup of tea, and adjusted his breathing rhythm to relieve the inner tension.

"How are the children in Aiqing's family?" Shen Yixiang asked kindly.

"Thanks to the great love of the emperor, the daughter of this minister is Ankang, the most regretful thing is that he has no heirs, hey~" Dugu Ruyuan shook his head and sighed.

"Ai Qing doesn't have to regret about the matter of heirs. Wealth and honor follow the way of heaven, and you can't change the cycle of reincarnation by yourself." Shen Yixiang comforted.

"I don't dare to have any delusional thoughts, but I am ashamed of my ancestors, and I hope that the emperor will express it clearly." Dugu Ruyuan thought that he had said something wrong, so he knelt down again in fright.

"Aiqing, don't be too polite, get up quickly, I heard that my daughter is virtuous, gentle and pleasant, is it true?" Shen Yixiang asked earnestly, which made Dugu Ruyuan nervous again.

"Your Majesty speaks too seriously, the daughter of a humble minister dare not be praised by the Holy Majesty." Dugu Ruyuan didn't know whether the emperor cared about his minister's family affairs or just chatted and greeted him by the way.

"What does Aiqing think of me, Yu'er?" After saying this, Shen Yixiang felt that the person in front of him must be able to understand his original intention, and the communication between the monarch and his ministers is indeed a university question.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is knowledgeable and generalist, one-faced talent, seven-step talent..." Dugu Ruyuan didn't understand the meaning of the emperor's words, and praised God Yiyu for his talent.

"Okay, okay, stop boasting, my son, I know best." Shen Yixiang hurriedly stopped Dugu Ruyuan from continuing to praise the prince. He clearly wanted to talk to him about business, but kept going off topic. Shen Yixiang simply He said bluntly, "If you are my in-laws, is that okay?"

"Ah..." Dugu Ruyuan couldn't keep his mouth shut for a long time in surprise. He had really thought about it when he heard about the crown prince's choice of concubine before, but he was so busy with work that he didn't spare time to hire a painter.

"Could it be... Wei Guogong is not satisfied with my Yu'er?" Shen Yixiang squinted his eyes and seemed to be questioning.

"I'm terrified because it's too sudden, I never thought about it, no, no, your majesty, I'm grateful, thank you very much..." Dugu Ruyuan's words were confused, he was dazzled by luck, and he didn't know how to express it.

"Oh, it's good that Aiqing agrees. I'm just asking. After all, it's a happy event for a man and a woman. How can we not get an agreement with our parents according to the etiquette?" Shen Yixiang's furrowed brows finally calmed down a little.

"Your Majesty can take a fancy to the Dugu family. It is the blessings of our ancestors who have cultivated for several lifetimes. I don't know how to express my gratitude to the Holy Majesty and the royal family. If there are any inappropriate words, please forgive me..." Wei Guogong said this The son is smiling from ear to ear, he is always thinking about finding a good marriage for Dugu Xiaomeng, he is very anxious about his beloved daughter who is waiting to be married, because he has never met anyone he particularly likes.

Before seeing Xiaomeng and the fourth prince getting very close, Dugu Ruyuan thought about marrying his beloved daughter to the fourth prince, but the fourth prince is a fun-loving person.Now the emperor directly mentioned that he would choose a concubine for the prince, not to mention Dugu Ruyuan's wishes.If my beloved daughter really becomes a crown princess, she will definitely become a queen in the future, and if she gives birth to royal heirs, then her grandson may become the future prince.

Dugu Ruyuan put his hand on his heart, feeling the strong heartbeat again and again, he really believed that all this was not a dream.

The old father is worried, looking for a quick son-in-law to be married in his boudoir; the old father is happy, the royal family makes an appointment to find a bride.
