Chapter 835: King Ping (Part )
Jiang Shaohua's smile is like a spring breeze.

Empress Dowager Li knew that behind this spring-like smile was the unfathomable imperial scheme. She, the empress dowager, could enjoy honor and dignity in the harem because of the grace of Emperor Taihe and her timely support for Jiang Shaohua.

Now Jiang Shaohua has been on the throne for nine years. He has already firmly sat on the dragon throne and controlled the court. The civil officials and military generals are loyal to him, and the people support and love him. No one can shake the throne of the emperor.

In other words, Jiang Shaohua, the emperor of Daliang, no longer needed to look at anyone's face. Instead, she, the queen mother, had to figure out Jiang Shaohua's thoughts from time to time.

She wanted the daughter of the Li family to be the Princess of Ping, which was indeed a selfish and inhumane thing. Li Fanghua's sudden incident had brought shame to the Li family, and she, the Queen Mother, had lost face, so the Princess of Ping had to be replaced. Perhaps, this was exactly what Jiang Shaohua wanted.

Jiang Shaohua was actually not happy that the Li family had a Princess Ping. Today, he just happened to go with the flow and solve a problem.

Empress Dowager Li exhaled a breath of turbid air and forced a smile: "Your Majesty is right. Today is my birthday, don't let an ignorant girl disturb me."

Then, he smiled and called the other young girls over to talk.

Miss Lu, Miss Cui, and Miss Wang are all ladies from prominent families. They were all taught by their family elders before entering the palace for the banquet. In addition, with what Li Fanghua had just done, they each had their own thoughts and were quite cautious in their responses.

Miss Chen looked a bit like Chen Jinyu. Jiang Shaohua looked at her kindly and asked with a smile, "Are you Chen Jinyu's cousin?"

Miss Chen replied softly, "Yes, she lives a few rooms away. She's a distant cousin."

Jiang Shaohua missed her a little: "She is the governor of Yuzhou and has done a good job in the past few years. When her term is over next year, she will be able to return to the capital. I haven't seen her for a few years and I really miss her."

So, when he saw the girl from the Chen family who looked somewhat similar to him, he felt a sense of familiarity.

Empress Dowager Li listened to the words and looked at Miss Chen calmly.

Prime Minister Chen is the emperor's most trusted confidant and the chief civil official in Daliang. If Chen's daughter marries Prince Ping, she will be able to keep an eye on Prince Ping day and night. For the emperor, this is the most suitable candidate.

Miss Chen lowered her head submissively, allowing the Empress Dowager to look at her critically.

Miss Feng, who was waiting on the side, looked out quietly.

King Ping ran around like crazy outside, his head full of sweat, and then turned around and rushed in.

King Ping was born white and plump, with a very handsome appearance. At this moment, his face was full of joy, like a child, and people couldn't help but smile along with him.

Miss Feng couldn't help but smile.

King Ping thought the girl's smile was very cute, so he subconsciously stopped and said, "There are birds outside. I want to catch them. Do you want to come with me?"

King Ping had a loud voice, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he attracted everyone's attention.

Queen Mother Li looked at the innocent and childish Miss Feng and thought that Minister Feng was also interesting. Why did he choose such a silly girl to come to the palace for the banquet? But Prince Ping didn't pay attention to others and spoke to Miss Feng.

Miss Feng was also a wonderful person. She nodded quickly and then replied quietly, "Not now. I have to wait for the Queen Mother to ask questions!"

King Ping didn't care about that. He reached out and grabbed Miss Feng's sleeve and said, "Come on, let's go play."

Prince Ping was very strong, and no one dared to stop him. Miss Feng was dragged a few steps and turned around hastily. Before Queen Mother Li could say anything, Jiang Shaohua laughed and said, "Prince Ping has a childish temper. You can accompany him to play for a while."

Miss Feng was also very open-minded, so she went there happily.

Everyone's expression was very subtle, and they all turned to look at Mrs. Feng.

Minister Feng was ugly, and Mrs. Feng was not a beauty when she was young, with an ordinary appearance. However, Mrs. Feng and Minister Feng had been married for many years, and could tolerate his hot temper, and were not afraid of such a scene.

Madam Feng said with a smile: "Wushuang has been innocent since she was a child. She is already sixteen years old this year, but she still has a strong desire to play. She likes to climb trees and pick flowers at home, and she can shoot birds with a slingshot. She doesn't look like a girl at all, but has the temper of a wild boy. Please don't be offended by her making a fool of herself in the palace today."

Got it!
Minister Feng was indeed very capable, picking out such a lively person from his family. King Ping was mentally retarded, and Feng Wushuang was not much smarter. He was innocent and naive, or in other words, stupid!
No wonder Miss Feng followed King Ping so eagerly. This is a match made in heaven!

Empress Dowager Li was at a loss whether to laugh or cry and turned to look at Jiang Shaohua.

Jiang Shaohua was also a little surprised, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

Miss Chen is good, but Miss Feng is even better. It is a good idea to keep the position of Princess Ping in the Feng family.

……

"Is King Ping truly unrivaled?"

After Minister Feng returned from the Ministry of Revenue, he saw his wife and heard a piece of great joy that made him drop his jaw.

Madam Feng couldn't help laughing: "Isn't it? Prince Ping didn't even look at the other girls who came into the palace, and he just played with our Wushuang for half a day."

"When leaving, King Ping was reluctant to let Wushuang go. He pulled Wushuang's sleeve and refused to let her go, saying that he wanted to marry her."

Minister Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "The Queen Mother had already decided that Miss Li would be the Princess of Prince Ping. I asked Wushuang to go to the palace to attend the banquet just to make up the number. How come it turned out that I was trying to plant flowers but they didn't bloom, but accidentally planted willows and they grew into a shade? People who don't know would definitely think that I am scheming and deliberately trying to please Prince Ping."

It's really unfair.

Minister Feng was busy with his duties at the Ministry of Revenue every day, and he lived in the Ministry of Revenue most of the time, so he had no time to think about these things. When the Empress Dowager's order was conveyed to the palace, he didn't take it seriously at all, and casually said to his wife: "Find someone who is stupid and brave to come to the palace to deal with it for a day."

The Feng family was not a big family. In the past few years, there were only five or six families in the capital who had attached themselves to Minister Feng. There were only three girls who had reached the age of marriage. Feng Wushuang had been a wild boy since childhood, with a strong desire to play and a bold heart. Mrs. Feng brought Feng Wushuang into the palace.

Who could have thought that King Ping would take a liking to Feng Wushuang?

"Actually, it can't be said that he is in love with her." Madam Feng said very pertinently: "Prince Ping is in the palace every day, and he only interacts with palace servants and eunuchs. He has no chance to meet girls of the same age. Most teenage girls are gentle and chaste. There is no other silly girl like Wushuang. Prince Ping has found a playmate."

Of course, for King Ping, having a playmate who shared the same interests with him was enough.

Minister Feng hummed, stroked his short beard, and quickly made a decision: "This is not a trivial matter. Ask someone to call Wushuang's family over. I have to talk about this matter in detail."

"We can only get married if Wushuang is willing. If Wushuang is not willing, I will risk my old face and go to the palace to reject this marriage."
