There is no phoenix

But Shui Rong and Feng Ziying had dinner in a restaurant, and they went to Feng's mansion to rest together, and Shui Rong was going to enter the palace, so Feng Ziying went to Jia's mansion to look for Baoyu.

It turned out that the emperor Shui Ruoyang saw that Shui Rong had been in the military camp in the west of Beijing for nearly three years, and now he was 17 years old. He wanted to let Shui Rong return to the imperial city several times, but Shui Rong was unwilling.Shui Ruoning visited the palace several times, talked about Shui Rong, and said that Shui Rong was indeed very good in the military camp. In recent years, his martial arts have improved greatly, and his heart has calmed down a lot.

What Shui Ruoyang is most concerned about is the water-soluble marriage.Shui Ruoyang originally had seven princes and three princesses.The eldest son born to the noble concubine is now in Luoyang; the first queen gave birth to the second prince and the eldest princess, but the second prince died before he was half a year old, and the queen also died three years later.The second queen gave birth to the third son Shuize and the fourth son Shui Rong.Among the other three princes, the fifth son of the emperor died early, and the sixth son Shui Mu, who is still alive, is 13 years old. He and the married second princess were born to Concubine Wu Gui. Born to a noble concubine.

Prince Mizusawa is 29 years old this year and already has three daughters.Because the emperor's grandson has not yet been born, Shui Ruoyang is very anxious.At present, Shui Ruoyang is 53 years old, but he doesn't have the eldest grandson of the emperor yet. The 17-year-old Shui Rong has been reluctant to marry him for a long time, which really gives Shui Ruoyang a headache.

Shui Rong came to Chengde Hall and met Shui Ruoyang.Shui Ruoyang saw that Shui Rong had grown taller than himself, standing imposingly, like a jade tree facing the wind, and more heroic than Shui Ze, and immediately felt a little relieved, so he tried his best to speak in a gentle tone: "Rong'er, you are coming from Beijing now." Did you come back from the West Army Camp?"

Shui Rong hurriedly replied: "Going back to Emperor Father, my son came back before lunch, and came after resting at Feng Ziying's house for a while."

Shui Ruoyang sighed: "Rong'er, you are now 17 years old, and your prince brother was already married at this age. The emperor wants you to come back this time, just to tell you that there will be a draft next month. , Dongping Palace, there are many girls from aristocratic families, all of them are very good, my father wants to choose the most outstanding marriage gift for you to be the concubine, how about it?"

After hearing this, Shui Rong hurriedly said: "Father, didn't I say that I don't want to get married so early. Besides, I want to find a woman I like by myself."

Shui Ruoyang smiled and said, "Rong'er, don't worry, Father knows, that's why he asked you to come back to discuss. Father has already thought about it for you. Among these beautiful girls, I will ask you a few mothers and concubines to help you choose them. Three batches, the one with the best looks, the one with the best talent, and those with outstanding talents and looks, and then you have to look at them one by one yourself, you can choose as many as you want, but there can only be one concubine."

After hearing this, Shui Rong hurriedly said: "Father, I really don't want my son. My father is worried about my son, and my son knows that my father is doing it for his own good. But, if you marry those beautiful girls to my son , I am afraid that my son will feel uncomfortable every day and live like a year, does the emperor want my son to live like this?"

Shui Ruoyang was a little surprised and asked: "How can this happen? Since ancient times, everyone has said that a hero is sad and beautiful. If you choose the best beautiful girl to marry you, you must be in a good mood every day. How can you live like a year? In your eyes, a woman Is it that scary? Could it be that you want to never get married for the rest of your life?"

Shui Rong plucked up his courage and said: "Returning to the emperor, this son-in-law didn't mean that. I don't want to hide it from my father, I just want to marry Lord Lin's daughter Daiyu and sister."

Shui Ruoyang heard this, and quickly asked: "Rong'er, are you still thinking about that Miss Lin? Didn't your father and your father tell you last year that you two are not suitable? Besides, you only saw her once or twice, She's still young. It's said that women's colleges have changed. Last year was good, but this year may not be so. Father advises you not to think about her, there are many good girls, and father will not let you be wronged."

Shui Rong said: "Royal father, sister Daiyu will only get better and better, and I only like her."

Seeing that Shui Rong spoke in a hurry, Shui Ruoyang hurriedly said, "Rong'er, didn't your father tell you that Master Lin only hopes that Miss Lin will marry an ordinary person in the future, and also taught her daughter not to marry princes, grandchildren or even high-ranking families? You If she likes Miss Lin, she may not like you. If not, why would father repeatedly say that you are not suitable?"

Shui Rong replied stubbornly: "Father, I don't want to think so much, I just want to marry Sister Daiyu anyway. Apart from her, I will not marry any woman!"

When Shui Ruoyang heard this, he almost couldn't believe his ears, and stared at Shui Rong: This son has grown up to be heroic and handsome, and he has also become stubborn and has his own opinions. He has a bad temper!

After a long pause, Shui Ruoyang had no choice but to ask: "Rong'er, tell me, what's so good about Miss Lin? In your eyes, do you think she's the only good girl in the world?"

Shui Rong replied: "I told my father that if I want to say how good Miss Lin is, I really can't express it in words. Anyway, I am very happy with her. As long as I see her, my whole body feels refreshed. Listen to me She talks and walks with her, and all my worries will disappear! Father, you have never met Miss Lin, if you do, you will also like her very much!"

Shui Ruoyang listened, looked at Shui Rong quietly, and when he saw him say these words, he was almost obsessed with emotion, and hurriedly asked: "Rong'er, have you met Miss Lin recently? If you haven't grown up, how can you be so good?"

Shui Rong said: "I will not hide this from my father, when I returned to the imperial city with Feng Ziying today, I happened to meet sister Daiyu on the road, because she was going to the Muni courtyard."

Shui Ruoyang said: "What did Miss Lin go to the Muni Academy? Isn't she in the Rongguo Mansion?"

Shui Rong said: "Sister Daiyu's carriage broke down, so she stopped on the road. She said that the third day of September is her father's memorial day, Lord Lin, and she wanted to go to the Muni Temple to pray for her deceased parents and pray for disaster relief."

Shui Ruoyang nodded and said: "She is a very filial girl. Rong'er, the emperor asked you, you like this little sister Daiyu so much, did you tell her, does she know that you like her so much? Did you ask?" After passing her, would you like to marry you when you grow up?"

Shui Rong said: "Sister Daiyu said that her father once told her that she should be 15 years old before she thinks about getting married. Don't worry, father, I will make sister Daiyu fall in love with him."

Shui Ruoyang said: "Then you are really willing to wait for her to be 15 years old? But you will be 19 years old then."

Shui Rong said: "Father, if I am willing to wait, I will definitely let my younger sister Daiyu marry me voluntarily, and I will not make things difficult for my father."

After hearing this, Shui Ruoyang had no choice but to sigh: "Okay, I will depend on you first. Miss Ruolin is 15 years old, and if she promises to marry you, then the emperor will give you a marriage and marriage, and no other accidents are allowed. You Can you hear me clearly?"

Shui Rong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I heard you clearly, thank you, Father!"

Shui Ruoyang smiled bitterly and said: "If I don't follow you, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to enter the palace next time. Go down and see your prince and brother."

Seeing Shui Rong's leaving figure, Shui Ruoyang said to Dai Quan: "Dai Quan, look, this Lin Ruhai is not only a loyal minister and counselor, but also a cunning fox. His daughter is only 13 years old, and he has taken my son's heart They were all abducted, he might have figured it out a long time ago!"

Dai Quan had no choice but to comfort him: "Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince's vision is not bad. I think this Miss Lin must be unparalleled in talent and appearance. Otherwise, how could the Fourth Prince be so attentive!"

Shui Ruoyang sighed: "Prince Beijing also said that Miss Lin has good looks, talent, and affection. I'm just worried that Miss Lin will disagree. But you can see that if I don't follow Rong'er, I'm afraid he won't want to Return to the imperial city."
