The system forced me to be emperor

"Thank you!" Li Ruoxue held the picture album, feeling the throbbing in her heart, she didn't dare to look at Xiao Rui, and said softly with a blushing face.

Li Dongsheng on the side saw it and smiled even more.

"Sister, go down and prepare some refreshments." Li Dongsheng took the opportunity to transfer her away.

Li Ruoxue hurried out with the album in her arms. When she went out, she couldn't help but look back at Xiao Rui.

Afterwards, Li Dongsheng sent away the other servants, leaving only Xiao Rui and him in the room.

"Your Highness, what do you think of my sister?" Li Dongsheng asked with a smile.

Xiao Rui said: "Knowledgeable and reasonable, everyone is a lady."

"Will your Highness want to marry my sister?" Li Dongcheng's smile did not change.

Hey, this guy actually picked up a pimp... Bah, he actually became a matchmaker and sent his sister to the fire... Bah, he actually chose such a handsome and handsome husband as himself for his sister!

Li Dongsheng is wise!

Chapter 378: Proposing marriage for the great cause

Li Dongcheng was too direct, even asking Xiao Rui if he would marry Li Ruoxue, if he answered too directly, wouldn't he look like Meng Lang.

"Your younger sister is gentle and pleasant. Anyone who can marry her must be a blessing of three lifetimes. However, since ancient times, marriage has always been a matter of parents, and the words of a matchmaker. I can understand how Brother Dongcheng cares about his younger sister." Xiao Rui smiled. road.

Li Dongsheng said sincerely: "Your Majesty, if I hadn't been worried about Ruoxue, I would have traveled around the world long ago. She is too soft-tempered. Although she has a strong opinion, she can't stand the threats of the world and the bondage of the family. Submit. King Ke was a clear example back then, but now there are many high-ranking officials in the capital staring at her eagerly, how can I trust her?"

Xiao Rui asked curiously: "You can rest assured of me?"

"Your Highness is a noble person and will cherish others. My sister is not from a bad family background and is fully qualified to be His Highness's side concubine. Moreover, Ruoxue and Miss Zhuge are good friends, and they will not be afraid of being bullied when they marry. Why not do it?" What? More importantly, I want to find someone she likes for my younger sister, instead of letting her marry her parents!" Li Dongsheng said firmly.

Hearing Li Dongcheng's words, Xiao Rui immediately beamed with joy and asked, "Your sister likes me?"

Xiao Rui immediately became proud. Originally, he was not only handsome, but also charismatic. Thousands of girls were obsessed with him, even a girl as elegant and refined as Ruoxue was no exception.

Li Dongsheng nodded and said, "Your Highness doesn't know something. His Highness has been out for more than seven months, and my younger sister has been muttering: Where is Your Highness? Where is Your Highness? Is it really because I am curious about the beautiful scenery that His Highness admired? My brother went out Yunyou, I never heard that she cared about me! And I enjoyed the scenery not bad! So Ruoxue misses the scenery? No, she misses His Highness!"

"Your Highness, Ming people don't speak dark words, do you want to marry my sister?"

Xiao Rui was having fun in his heart, he was still thinking about how to win Li Ruoxue and win the support of Li's clan from the King of Chu, now it's a good thing, Li Dongcheng took the initiative to send his sister.

I'm so damn good!

So Xiao Rui said solemnly: "Of course I want to, but your father and the first assistant will agree? To tell you the truth, this king is now in the same situation as the king of Chu, and they are not at odds, and your family members of the Li family support the king of Chu! You don't want Ruoxue It’s the matchmaker’s words to marry your parents, but can you really refuse?”

Li Dongsheng said with a smile: "Since Your Highness wants to marry, there is no need to worry about my father. As for my grandfather...it is really difficult. Although I am the eldest grandson, I have limited power to speak, so I still need Your Highness to do it myself! And His Highness has thought about it." No, if my grandpa can be persuaded to agree to this marriage, my grandpa will definitely support His Highness! The Li clan is the Li clan and cannot influence my grandpa! My grandpa is the chief assistant of the current cabinet, if he can get his support, Needless to say, Your Highness can also think of weight! Since ancient times, if a hero wants to embrace a beautiful woman, he has to put in some effort, what do you think, Your Highness?"

Xiao Rui nodded, but it was quite difficult to convince Li Mingchong, the chief assistant of the cabinet!

"Is Master Chief Assistant at the residence?" Xiao Rui asked.

Li Dongsheng was taken aback for a moment, and said pleasantly, "Your Highness wants to try it now?"

"It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day, and it's better to hit the sun than today!" Xiao Rui said.

Li Dongsheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It seems that His Highness has long coveted my sister..."

Xiao Rui:...

Don't be so straightforward, okay? It's so embarrassing!

In this way, Li Dongsheng took Xiao Rui to see Li Mingchong, the chief assistant.

It was also a coincidence today that Li Mingchong felt unwell after the morning court. He was already sixty-two and worried about state affairs all day long.

He was resting in his room, and he came to the desk when he was more energetic, but suddenly he heard that His Highness King Xian was coming to see him, so he hurried out to meet him personally.

Li Dongsheng sent Xiao Rui into Li Mingchong's study, and he was slightly relieved. After he turned around and went back, he happened to meet Li Ruoxue who was looking for the two of them.

"Brother, where is His Royal Highness King Xian?" Li Ruoxue asked.

Li Dongsheng said: "His Royal Highness Xian Wang went to ask Grandpa to marry him."

"Ah?" Li Ruoxue was surprised, and then her pretty face flushed, and she ran away shyly covering her face.

And Li Mingchong invited Xiao Rui to sit in the study, poured tea himself, and asked curiously, "I don't know why your Highness came to look for the old minister?"

After Xiao Rui hesitated for a while, he simply went straight to the point without playing charades, and said: "Li Shoufu, this king and Miss Li Ruoxue of your house are in love, so..."

"Cough cough cough..." Li Mingchong was so frightened that he coughed, looked at Xiao Rui in surprise, and then realized that he was acting recklessly, so he quickly covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve.

"Didn't Your Highness fall in love with the young lady of Zhuge Hou's mansion? Your Majesty considered that the champion Hou's mother had passed away for less than three years, so he postponed the marriage. Is the old minister old and stupid, and his ears are confused?" Li Mingchong asked.

Xiao Rui was not embarrassed, and said: "Even an upright person like Li Shoufu has one wife, two equal wives, and several concubines. Can this king not be with Li Ruoxue?"

Li Mingchong looked at Xiao Rui, but there was a little scrutiny in his slightly cloudy eyes.

"Your Highness should know about the relationship between our Li family and His Highness the King of Chu." Li Ming asked aloud.

Xiao Rui nodded and said: "Of course I know, Princess Chu Li Xiu'er is the granddaughter of the chief assistant's elder brother."

Li Mingchong said again: "Since Your Highness knows about it, do you still think that the old minister will agree to this marriage?"

"Why don't you agree?" Xiao Rui asked back: "Although Li Xiu'er is a princess, what is her situation? If I don't tell you, Li Shoufu should have heard about it. Moreover, I also know the bigger inside story. Afterwards, Li Shoufu can ask Mr. Li Mingde Let’s see if the information he has obtained can make Mrs. Li support the King of Chu wholeheartedly!"

"Master Shoufu is a smart person. As the saying goes, put your eggs in two baskets to ensure that all eggs are not broken!"

Li Mingchong heard it, his face darkened.

Of course, he has heard about Li Xiuer's condition. Du Xueqin is pregnant with Linzi, but Li Xiuer's stomach has not improved. The King of Chu has become more and more tired of Li Xiuer, and now it is because of the face of Li's family that he has not rested. Book.

"What does your Highness mean by the bigger story?" Li Mingchong couldn't help asking when he sensed that Xiao Rui's words were unexpected.

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "My lord really wants to hear me tell the truth?"

"This...then don't bother His Highness Xian." Li Mingchong was cautious and immediately refused.

Xiao Rui said again: "Master Li, I don't like to hide things. Since I came to you to take the initiative to clarify this matter, I came here with success in mind. I also hope that my lord will not let me succeed if I fail. It’s beautiful. Today, the king came to propose a marriage with empty hands. It’s really outrageous. I don’t know what gift my lord wants this king to prepare. You might as well tell me. This king is willing to confess and express your sincerity in front of Lord Li!”

These words are in the middle of the words, Li Mingchong is old and cunning, so he can hear it clearly.

Xiao Rui asked Li Mingchong to make a bold request, putting forward the conditions that he thought would allow him to marry his granddaughter!

Li Mingyang has seven or eight granddaughters. Although Li Xiuer is of the direct line, she is a female stream after all. It is not impossible to marry Xiao Rui as a side concubine, but just like Li Mingchong said, their Li family has already supported the king of Chu. Sufficient reason is that it is impossible to change course and support King Xian again!

Yes, it's safe to put eggs in two baskets, but the most taboo thing for Cong Longzhichen is half-heartedness.

Unless, King Xian has the power to support him.
