Chapter 757 The Ownership of the Qin Prince's Consort
"Marry a princess?"
"Well, that's not a bad idea. Li Cunxi is seventeen years old, it's time for him to marry a princess."
"I wonder who he plans to marry as his princess."
Wu Yizong was thinking about who was qualified to be Li Cunxi's princess.
First, the girl from the Wang family in Taiyuan, Wang Xiao.
You know, this person participated in almost all of Li Cunxi's childhood, and the relationship between them was very close.
If Old Wang hadn't wanted his daughter to fall into the quagmire, he should have discussed the engagement ceremony for the two children after the Youzhou case.
It has been delayed for so long, even if Wang Xiao and Li Cunxi have a good relationship, there will still be some grudges in their hearts.
However, compared to those unknown daughters of bureaucrats, Wang Xiao is indeed the first choice.
And then...
Wu Yizong tilted his head and looked at his good brother Wu Chengsi.
"What are you looking at me for?" Wu Chengsi asked.
"What are you looking at?" Wu Yizong blurted out.
Wu Chengsi was too lazy to waste any more words, so he put down his tea bowl and rolled up his sleeves.
The relationship between him and Wu Yizong was not very good in their early years, and they simply started fighting later.
Therefore, when two people have a disagreement, the most basic thing to do is to roll up their sleeves.
"I don't want to fight you." Wu Yizong said disdainfully, "Let me ask you, boy, do you want to marry your daughter to be the Princess of Qin?"
"Are you sick!"
"Hey, don't play dumb with me, kid. When Li Cunxi first met the emperor, you said you wanted to marry your daughter to him. Who doesn't know that? Are you playing dumb?"
Wu Chengsi, who was good-tempered, couldn't help but curse in a low voice at this moment: "You idiot, let me ask you, how old is Yuan Hui now?"
Wu Yizong blurted out: "She will be thirteen soon."
"Then what did you, an idiot, tell me to marry Yuan Hui to him?"
"Isn't it normal to get married at thirteen?"
"Get out of the way! Don't force me to kick you." Wu Chengsi said unhappily, "I haven't felt sorry for my own daughter enough. Why would I give her away?"
"Hiss, you forgot that you care about Yuan Hui the most."
Wu Chengsi raised his head and didn't want to talk to Wu Yizong.
It should be noted that Wu Yuanhui's marriage to Li Cunxi was destined. In order to ensure harmonious relations between the two families, Wu Yuanhui had to marry Li Cunxi.
Moreover, Wu Yuanhui must have wanted the same.
However, Wu Yuanhui could marry Li Cunxi, but she could not become his principal wife.
Since she can't be the principal wife, it's not a bad idea for her to get married later.
Therefore, Wu Chengsi was not in a hurry at all. When he was alive, the relationship between the two families was very close. Even after his death, Wu Yanhao and Wu Yuanhui still supported him.
"So, it's only the daughter of the Wang family from Taiyuan?"
Wu Yizong touched his chin, as if he had already seen Li Cunxi's childhood sweetheart marrying into the Prince of Qin's Mansion.
"Wang's daughter?"
"Do you think it's possible? It might have been possible before, but that idiot Wang Lai couldn't see the bright spots in my beloved disciple and threw away such a good opportunity."
"Now, being a concubine is already the pinnacle."
Wu Chengsi knew this very well, so he spoke without hesitation.
In the past, because of the incident between Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao, the Wang family of Taiyuan suffered a severe blow, with heavy casualties among the clan members. The remaining clan members joined forces with the branch families to rebuild the Wang family of Taiyuan.
After the emperor ascended the throne, he let these people go because the Wang family of Taiyuan no longer posed a threat to him.
It was under this premise that Wang Lai became the head of the Taiyuan Wang family.
He is a high-level nouveau riche. Even Hu Jinghui, who is supposed to be from the Wang family of Taiyuan, is unwilling to have anything to do with him. However, he looks down on Li Cunxi, the heir of the Li family.
Now, he is reaping the fruits of his own actions.
Wang Xiao is nineteen years old and almost twenty years old and still hasn't gotten married. Every time she looks for a husband, it becomes extremely difficult. I believe everyone knows who the target is.
It's just that Li Cunxi is suppressing him from behind.
"Then I'm very curious. If he really wants to marry a Qin Wangfei, who will be the candidate for this Qin Wangfei?"
"I don't know, but it definitely isn't your daughter."
……
At the same time, in Di Mansion.
The uncle and nephew, who had not seen each other for nearly twenty days, sat in the study.
Di Renjie said with a smile:
"Cunxi, now that you've accomplished something truly extraordinary, you truly have reached the point where there's nothing left to be dignified."
Li Cunxi knew that this situation was difficult to break, but he also had his own way.
However, before he told Di Renjie his idea, he decided to ask Di Renjie what he thought.
"Uncle, you have to teach me."
"That's easy. Do you have someone you like? Your position as Princess of Qin is still vacant. I'll ask His Majesty for permission to grant you the marriage."
Di Renjie thought that Li Cunxi left the position of Princess Qin vacant in order to wait for Wang Xiao from the Wang family, so he smiled.
However, even if Li Cunxi wanted to marry the girl from the Wang family, he had to make old man Wang feel uncomfortable.
When Li Cunxi was of low status, if old man Wang had been willing to marry his daughter, wouldn't Wang Xiao be the Princess of Qin by now?
"Well, although Miss Wang is good, we can't just focus on her."
"Her father is not virtuous and has treated you poorly many times. If the position of Princess Qin is given to her so easily, her father will probably become even more arrogant."
"In my opinion, the daughter of the King of Wei is quite good. I heard that the King of Wei has always been fond of his youngest daughter, Wu Yuanhui. Since you have a close relationship with the King of Wei, why not arrange a marriage with her first?"
When Di Renjie thought about the little girl he met on the day of the Crown Prince's wedding, he thought she was not bad.
The little girl is pretty, has a simple heart, and is young, so she will definitely be obedient.
Wu Chengsi was also indebted to Li Cunxi. He helped him during the Youzhou case. After that, he stood up for Li Cunxi many times in the court and almost called Li Cunxi "my son".
No, when Zhou Xing openly framed Zong Qinke a few days ago, Wu Chengsi seemed to have shouted it.
"Uncle, this..."
Li Cunxi laughed dryly twice.
To put it bluntly, neither of them is qualified to be the Princess of Qin.
The forces behind them are too powerful, and if you are not careful, a lot of trouble will arise.
"What's wrong, Cunxi? Do you have any other options? Tell me about it."
Di Renjie stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"I won't hide it from my uncle. This time, I went to Liuzhou to wipe out the Snake Spirit rebels. On the way, I encountered Xiao Shufei's clansmen. I have already... cough cough cough."
"I see, hahahaha, the descendant of Concubine Xiao Shufei, I wonder how old she is?"
"Ten years older than me."
Di Renjie was stunned and looked at Li Cunxi with suspicion.
Nowadays, people usually look for younger wives, such as a cousin marrying his cousin.
Otherwise, you can look for someone of similar age, such as a close neighbor or a childhood sweetheart.
People like Li Cunxi, who always looks for someone so much older than him, have a courage that ordinary people don't have.
"Since she is the descendant of Consort Xiao Shufei, perhaps I will be able to see her in the court tomorrow, right?"
"Yes, they will also go to court tomorrow."
"Well, for so many years, I have already treated you as my son. For such a major matter, I still have to keep an eye on it."
"Even if my uncle doesn't say it, I still have this feeling."
"Presumably, the King of Wei and I have the same idea, right?"
