Chapter 836: King Ping (IV)
Feng Wushuang's family of three were called to Shangshu Feng's residence.

Feng Wushuang's father was also a fool, otherwise, he would not have given birth to such a daughter. After listening to Minister Feng's explanation, he said, "Why should I be unhappy about this? Being able to marry Prince Ping means that we Wushuang have climbed a high branch."

Minister Feng had to emphasize: "Prince Ping was born with low intelligence, just like a four or five-year-old child. His body has grown, but his brain has not. He can't read, practice martial arts, or work. He just loves to play around every day."

Father Feng smiled and said, "That's perfect. My Wushuang is also a wild girl. After marrying Prince Ping, she plays with His Royal Highness Prince Ping every day."

Feng Wushuang's mother also joined in the conversation: "If His Royal Highness Prince Ping is intelligent and capable, and has great prospects, it will not be our Wushuang's turn to be Prince Ping's Consort. We are happy with this marriage."

Minister Feng nodded and looked at Feng Wushuang again.

Feng Wushuang played with Prince Ping for half a day today, and surprisingly had a good impression of him: "His Royal Highness Prince Ping has a childish temper. He ignores people he doesn't like, but if they are pleasing to him, he is very kind to them. I am willing to marry His Royal Highness Prince Ping."

Minister Feng felt sorry for his distant niece. After thinking for a moment, he whispered, "What you saw today was the gentle side of Prince Ping. When he gets really mad, he's much more powerful. Getting married is a lifelong thing. You have to think it through."

"We in the Feng family are upright people. We don't need to cling to the royal family."

Feng Wushuang answered seriously, "I've thought about it. I've been wild since I was a child, different from ordinary girls. If I marry a well-matched and well-behaved family, I'll have to be obedient and take care of my husband and children. I don't want that kind of life at all."

"It's better to take a chance and marry King Ping. Then you can live a more lively and comfortable life in the future."

Having said that, there is nothing more to say.

Minister Feng sighed and nodded: "I will go to the palace to see the emperor tomorrow."

Minister Feng hated selling his daughter for fame and fortune the most. But the position of Princess Ping fell into his family. This matter caused a stir!
The next morning, Minister Feng went to the palace to meet the emperor.

Coincidentally, Jiang Shaohua also wanted to summon Minister Feng.

"Minister Feng and I are really in tune with each other," Jiang Shaohua was in a good mood, and joked with a smile: "As soon as I thought about it, Minister Feng came."

Minister Feng cheered up and said with a smile, "I am shamelessly coming to the palace to ask for an audience today because of yesterday's palace banquet. Wushuang played around in Ning'an Palace for half a day yesterday, and was rash and abrupt. I am afraid that the Empress Dowager will be unhappy. I want to go to Ning'an Palace to apologize to the Empress Dowager."

Jiang Shaohua smiled and glanced at Minister Feng: "There are no outsiders here, only the two of us, the emperor and his subject, so we should just speak directly. Why are you beating around the bush?"

"Don't worry! The Queen Mother is broad-minded and won't get angry over such a small matter."

"Miss Li refused the marriage proposal first, and Miss Feng won the favor of King Ping. Everyone saw it, and the Feng family cannot be blamed."

Jiang Shaohua spoke frankly, and Minister Feng did not hide anything. He sighed and said, "That being said, I am only worried that the Empress Dowager will be unhappy and blame the Feng family for the failure of the marriage between the Li family and the royal family."

"Wushuang is a silly girl who knows nothing. If she really marries into the palace, the Empress Dowager will be her mother-in-law. I am afraid she won't be able to handle it."

Jiang Shaohua raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I think Wushuang is very good. Minister Feng, don't worry! I recognize this brother's wife, and no one can bully her."

Minister Feng was waiting for this sentence. He immediately felt relieved and bowed his hands in thanks: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

There are some things that don't need to be brought up on the table.

For example, after Feng Wushuang married King Ping, she was the legitimate Princess of Ping and could stay with King Ping openly. If someone had bad intentions and wanted to take King Ping's place or use King Ping's name to cause trouble, Feng Wushuang would be the first to detect it. For another example, Minister Feng was the emperor's confidant. Even if Feng Wushuang gave birth to a child in the future, Minister Feng would never betray Jiang Shaohua, let alone plan to establish another crown prince.

Empress Dowager Li must be unhappy.

However, it was God's will. Jiang Shaohua gave the Li family a chance, because Li Fanghua herself did not want to marry, and King Ping happened to like Feng Wushuang. Jiang Shaohua was happy to see this marriage happen.

……

Empress Dowager Li was sulking for several days, but no matter how reluctant she was, she had to accept the result.

Jiang Shaohua did not rush to urge him, but Prince Ping would ask Empress Dowager Li every day, "When will Wushuang come to the palace to play with me?"

Queen Mother Li was troubled by the annoyance. She asked Prince Ping with a stern face, "That Feng Wushuang doesn't even know the rules of the palace. She is just a silly wild girl with an unremarkable appearance. Why did you choose anyone else, but she had to marry him?"

King Ping did not understand these long speeches and kept repeating the same thing: "I will marry her and play with her every day in the future."

Queen Mother Li: "..."

That’s all! Man proposes, God disposes!
King Ping liked it, and the emperor was also happy to see this result. It would be tactless of her to try to stop it.

Empress Dowager Li let out a sigh of relief: "Okay, okay, I will listen to you. I will ask the emperor to come over and discuss how to arrange your marriage."

Prince Ping immediately hugged Queen Mother Li happily and said, "Thank you, mother."

Prince Ping was a head taller than Queen Mother Li and had a strong body. He stretched out his hand and lifted Queen Mother Li up one foot from the ground. Queen Mother Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After Prince Ping put her down, she angrily drove him away: "Go and have fun! You don't have to worry about these things. Just wait for your marriage."

King Ping went to play happily.

Jiang Shaohua was invited to Ning'an Palace.

Queen Mother Li adjusted her mood and said with a pleasant smile, "Your Majesty, Prince Ping fell in love with Miss Feng at the birthday banquet yesterday. I also think that Miss Feng is innocent and lovely, and Prince Heping is a perfect match."

"I am thinking of asking the Emperor to grant the marriage an imperial decree. This way, the marriage will be grand and festive."

Jiang Shaohua readily agreed: "My mother and I have the same idea. I will issue an edict to grant the marriage to Prince Ping tomorrow."

Queen Mother Li relaxed her brows and smiled happily: "Prince Ping is already old enough. After completing the six rituals, he will marry Miss Feng. Let the Ministry of Rites pick a wedding date as soon as possible."

Jiang Shaohua smiled and said, "I have to be busy with state affairs. I'll have to trouble my mother to decide on Prince Ping's marriage."

After a pause, he continued, "Prince Ping has been living in the palace. After getting married, he should move out of the palace and live in Prince Ping's mansion."

When Emperor Taikang was still alive, he built the Prince Ping Palace for his beloved youngest son. Over the years, Prince Ping has been living in the palace, and the Prince Ping Palace has been vacant.

According to palace rules and conventions, Prince Ping should live in Prince Ping's Mansion before getting married.
