A few days later, King Yong entered the capital with his family.That day, Tang Shuyi gave a lecture to Li Jingyi in the palace, and the two of them inevitably talked about King Yong.

Li Jingyi said: "Prince Yong is the original prince of Rouli Kingdom. He came to Shangjing this time, probably because he wanted to explore the waters of Shangjing."

Tang Shuyi hummed, "What do you think?"

Li Jingyi thought for a while and said: "It is reasonable for him to do this. After all, he is not a member of Daqian. If he wants to gain a firm foothold, it is inevitable to master the information of the court."

"Is there more?" Tang Shuyi asked again.

Li Jingyi thought for a while, and then said: "The Rouli Kingdom has become a part of Daqian, so King Yong must obey Daqian. He must know that he is now the Yongwang of Daqian, not the Yongwang of Rouli."

Tang Shuyi nodded in approval, but she said: "King Yong must obey Da Qian, and Da Qian must also be able to accommodate King Yong and accommodate the originally flexible people. Only when the sea embraces all rivers can the sea be broader."

Li Jingyi: "So we must give both kindness and power."

Tang Shuyi smiled, "Yes."

.......

King Yong came to Beijing with a memorial in advance. Li Jingyi gave him a mansion early and transferred some eunuchs and maids from the palace that day to serve King Yong and his family.

The next day, King Yong went into the palace to meet the emperor.After entering the imperial study, he knelt down respectfully. Li Jingyi walked up to him, bent down to help him up and said, "I have long wanted to see Aiqing, and today I finally got my wish."

King Yong stood up and looked at the young emperor in front of him without leaving any trace.He is fifteen or sixteen years old, but has a tall figure.His face is a bit childish, but his speech and behavior are calm.

Although he is far away in the northwest, he still has some spies in Shangjing City.I know that the new emperor was supported by Duke Dingguo, and his wife was his teacher.I just don’t know if the little emperor is afraid of Duke Dingguo’s family.

The monarch and his ministers sat down and talked, talking about some household matters and some people's sentiments in the northwest.It seems like a simple chat, but there are a lot of tests between words.

King Yong originally wanted to say directly today that he would let his daughter enter the palace.But after the conversation, he suppressed the idea for the time being.Although the little emperor in front of him is young, he is not easy to fool.

Moreover, regardless of whether the young emperor was afraid of Duke Ding, Duke Ding now had the ability to subvert the court.Therefore, he wanted to take a look at the situation.

When Li Jingyi saw that he didn't mention his daughter, he breathed a sigh of relief and thought about who in the clan was similar in age to Prince Yong's daughter.Don't you just want to get married? Just find someone in the clan to get married to.

When King Yong left the palace, he sent a message to Duke Ding's house, saying that he would pay a visit tomorrow.The next day, he took his daughter to the Dingguo Palace.

Xiao Huai and Xiao Yuming entertained King Yong, while Tang Shuyi and Xiao Yuzhu entertained King Yong's daughter Xia Dailan.

Xia Dailan is thirteen or fourteen years old. She has a round face and big eyes. She is wearing a long purple dress with narrow sleeves and looks very heroic.Tang Shuyi talked to her for a while and then asked Xiao Yuzhu to play with her.

The two went to Xiao Yuzhu's yard first. After talking for a while, Xia Dailan asked Xiao Yuzhu: "Have you met the emperor?"

Xiao Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, then said calmly: "I've seen it before."

Xia Dailan asked: "How does the emperor look?"

Xiao Yuzhu thought for a while and said, "It's still... ok."

"What do you mean? Is your second brother as good-looking as you?" Xia Dailan asked.

Xiao Yuzhu thought for a while, "Everyone's vision is different. In terms of appearance, the emperor and my second brother are about the same."

Xia Dailan frowned and thought for a while and said, "My father wants me to marry the emperor. I think marrying your second brother is better than marrying the emperor."

Xiao Yuzhu: "..."

Are you speaking so directly?

"Well..." Xiao Yuzhu considered her words and said, "You may not be able to marry my second brother."

"Why?" Xia Dailan asked.

Xiao Yuzhu: "My second brother is already engaged, and we will get married after the Chinese New Year."

Xia Dailan frowned, "Then do I have to marry the emperor?"

Xiao Yuzhu: "..."

She finally saw that this girl was straight-tempered and thoughtless.But even so, Xiao Yuzhu did not say that she could not marry the emperor.She is straight-tempered, but Prince Yong is not.

But apart from the topic of who Xia Dailan would marry, the two of them chatted very speculatively.In the end, the two even made an appointment to go horse riding at the racecourse.

Prince Yong and his daughter had lunch at Duke Dingguo's mansion before leaving.Returning to the palace, Prince Yong asked Xia Dailan what she had done in Dingguo's palace today.

Xia Dailan said everything, and finally said: "I asked Xiao Yuzhu, and he said that the emperor and Xiao Yuming were similar in appearance, so I said that marrying the emperor would be better than marrying Xiao Yuming. Xiao Yuzhu said that Xiao Yuming was already engaged, I will get married in the next year, but I don’t want to marry the emperor.”

King Yong: "..."

Is your brain straight?

"What did Xiao Yuzhu say?" King Yong asked.

Xia Dailan: "I didn't say anything!"

King Yong took a deep breath. His daughter's brain was not on the same level as others.It seems that the matter of letting her enter the palace really needs to be carefully considered.

At this time, I heard Xia Dailan say again: "Father, why do you have to let me marry? Can't you use my eldest brother and second brother? If they can't do it, father, why can't you marry yourself?"

King Yong: "..."

Pressing his painful temples, he waved his hand to let Xia Dailan go out.You can't talk to her anymore, or you'll be pissed off.

…………

After Xia Dailan left, Xiao Yuzhu wrote to Li Jingyi and recounted what Xia Dailan told her.Li Jingyi became nervous after seeing the letter and quickly wrote back to give his assurance.

Xiao Yuzhu received his reply in the evening and saw the caution in his words, so she lay on the bed and laughed.In fact, she didn't take Xia Dailan very seriously.

King Yong is a smart man. After understanding the situation in Shangjing, he will make the wisest choice.He wanted his daughter to enter the palace simply because he wanted to stabilize his position in the court and in the northwest.But if his daughter makes a mistake, it will be a big deal.

At the same time, Li Jingyi began to select people of the right age in the clan.So a few days later, when Xiao Yuzhu and Xia Dailan went horseback riding, several young masters from the clan also followed.Mr. Fan heard that Xiao Yuzhu went to the racecourse and followed him.

Today's racecourse is very lively. Almost all the young ladies and gentlemen of the top dignitaries in the capital are here.Xiao Yuzhu introduced Xie Xihua to Xia Dailan, "This is Miss Xie."

Then she whispered to Xia Dailan: "She is my future second sister-in-law."

Xia Dailan looked Xie Xihua up and down, then said nothing.Although she felt that marrying the emperor was not as good as marrying Xiao Yuming, she did not fall in love with Xiao Yuming.
