Chapter 938: Dream of the Red Chamber, Lin Daiyu (101)
"Master is right."
Little Pot laughed and said, "His Majesty has indeed not yet decided who to betroth the master to."
He should be able to make a decision after the election.
"normal."
Li Siqi didn't take it to heart.
Looking around, everyone was admiring the plum blossoms standing proudly against the cold wind.
"Sister Daiyu".
Only Zheng Mingzhu looked at her with a smile, deliberately lowering her voice to ask, "Have you taken a fancy to one of them?"
"Sister Mingzhu is joking."
Li Siqi chuckled and said, "They should be a good match for all of you sisters."
Yu'er, I'm still young.
There's no need to consider these things for now.
"Who said we don't need it?"
Princess Minmin overheard her words, "The general election registration starts in March, and you will definitely need to participate."
After the election, His Majesty will surely grant you a marriage.
"Speaking of which, all of us are going to participate in the general election."
Li Siqi raised her eyebrows. "Have you already chosen your husbands and are waiting for the Emperor to bestow a marriage upon you?"
"Hard to say."
Upon hearing this, Mingxiu picked up the conversation, "Actually, we have been inquiring about various aristocratic families in private, and we also know the young men of marriageable age in each family."
However, it was not appropriate to arrange a marriage privately.
After all, most of us were married off by the emperor.
Only after the Emperor's arranged marriages are completed will those of us who haven't been betrothed have the opportunity to find suitable families ourselves.
The others, who overheard their conversation, stopped admiring the plum blossoms on the branches.
They were clearly all captivated by this topic.
An Jinxin added, "Actually, it doesn't really matter who we marry."
If you can be of one mind with someone, you'll live a happier life.
If they can still treat each other with respect, then their lives won't be too bad.
We never worry about the future being difficult.
There's no need to make a fuss about it.
"While that's true, we try to choose what we like."
Wei Yunxi smiled and said, "Apart from marriages decided solely by His Majesty, others can ask their elders to speak to His Majesty privately."
As long as there aren't any major problems, His Majesty will grant your request.
……
They were discussing marriage here.
The young men who left the plum garden were also pondering these questions.
"Shui Rong, has your father mentioned the matter of arranged marriage to you?"
As they walked, the fourth prince asked, "Do you have a woman you like?"
The Emperor's affection for Prince Bei Jing was different.
Among these princes, he was one of the few who was highly regarded.
His marriage was definitely arranged by the Emperor.
As for which young lady will be assigned to him, that depends on whether he dares to speak to the Emperor.
"You flatter me, Fourth Prince."
Prince Bei Jing smiled and replied, "My marriage is naturally decided by Your Majesty."
I believe the fourth prince feels the same way.
Only when the imperial decree arrives will we know whose daughter will be chosen for the imperial concubine selection.
"That's true."
The fourth prince thought of that stunning face, "No matter whose it is, it's all good."
Father will surely choose the most suitable person for all of us.
"His Majesty understands us best."
Before the Prince of Bei Jing appeared another stunningly beautiful face, and his tone unconsciously became more gentle, "He will naturally bestow upon us the most suitable marriage."
"If we have someone we like, we can tell His Majesty."
The Prince of Jing smiled and said, "As long as the request isn't too outrageous, His Majesty will grant it for all of us."
"The young ladies from all the families in the capital are pretty much the same."
The heir of the Marquis of Tai'an laughed and said, "It doesn't matter who I marry..."
"Of course it's different."
The young master of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion joked, "The eldest daughter of the Duke of Jin's family that I just met is a famous golden girl in our capital."
Whoever marries this golden child will have no worries about food and clothing for at least three generations.
"What? Your Zhenguo Duke's mansion has been emptied out?"
Prince Bei Jing joked, "At this time, you're eyeing someone else's female fortune goddess."
"Shui Rong, you already called her the Goddess of Wealth."
The young master chuckled and said, "Who doesn't like the God of Wealth?"
Marrying this female god of wealth is like inviting the god of wealth himself.
If I had the chance, I certainly wouldn't miss it.
"Don't do anything reckless, you little rascal."
The heir of the Marquis of Tai'an had to remind him, "Since you know she is a female god of wealth, she is not someone that ordinary people can afford to offend."
Her marriage will surely be arranged by the Emperor.
"No matter how much you try, it's useless."
"That's true."
Prince Bei Jing glanced at the Fourth Prince and said, "Some people are not people that everyone can spy on."
It's best to let things take their natural course.
The young people present were all little foxes raised by various aristocratic families.
None of them are naive; they naturally understand that there are some people they shouldn't have designs on, otherwise it will only bring trouble to their own families.
So no one brought up the topic again.
However, it left different thoughts in everyone's mind.
The young ladies returned from the plum garden.
He then followed the crowd to the Ming Palace to attend the banquet.
The royal New Year's Eve banquets were all pretty much the same: eating leftover food and watching performances.
Until it got dark.
After watching the celebratory fireworks, everyone began to disperse and leave the palace.
Everything proceeded in an orderly manner, and no one dared to cause trouble at this time.
After returning home.
Li Siqi was sent to rest by her parents.
The weather was cold, and she didn't want to suffer from staying up all night.
After saying goodbye to her parents, she returned to her own courtyard.
After washing and grooming.
I ate another bowl of dumplings.
Li Siqi sent the people around her to rest.
Unable to sleep for the time being, I started chatting with Xiaohuzi.
The topic naturally relates to the people we met tonight.
"If I remember correctly, Prince Bei Jing, Shui Rong, was quite fond of Jia Baoyu."
Li Siqi asked, "Does he really like Jia Baoyu as a person?"
Do you still prefer the four great families behind Jia Baoyu?
"Is Jia Baoyu worthy of his affection?"
Little Pot laughed and said, "If Shui Rong really likes him, that would be truly unbelievable."
Doesn't the host know that after the Jia family's misfortune, the Prince of Bei Jing from the original drama never appeared again?
Whatever his intentions, he definitely doesn't like Jia Baoyu.
"Taking a fancy to the rich heritage of the four great families of Jia, Wang, Shi, and Xue?"
Li Siqi frowned deeply. "Apart from Wang Ziteng, who was helped up by them, the other three major families are not much better off."
Why would Prince Bei Jing take a liking to these four families?
“Master, although the four great families have fallen on hard times, they were still the four great families in the past.”
Xiao Huzi explained, "Furthermore, the connections of the four great families should not be underestimated."
Shui Rong wanted to obtain everything from the four great families through Jia Baoyu.
For him, it was a risk-free business.
Whether it's a lot or a little, water-soluble substances won't mind.
"That's quite a dream."
Upon hearing this news, Li Siqi was quite surprised. "Wang Ziteng is not a fool, and the two marquises of the Shi family are not idiots either. They certainly won't give it up so easily."
Besides, he did not marry into any of the four major families.
Finding a bargain isn't easy.
After all, no one would willingly give away their possessions.
Of course, except for His Majesty.
"Master, have you considered another question?"
The little pot specifically reminded, "Water Dissolves might be doing this on the Emperor's orders."
