Empress Zheng was a little surprised, "She's not the Crown Princess? Shen Qingluan has always had a higher eye and is willing to marry her?"

She thought for a while and then said: "In that case, why doesn't the emperor find a good match for the prince and grant the marriage himself?"

"This can also prevent Prince Qi from forming another powerful in-law."

The emperor nodded slightly, "That makes sense."

"It's just that at this moment, there are no good candidates."

This candidate has to be good-looking, but also cannot bring benefits to Prince Qi's house, which is really a bit difficult.

Queen Zheng understood the emperor's thoughts and knelt down and said: "I am willing to share the emperor's worries."

"I have a distant cousin in my concubine's family. Her parents died when she was young, and the rest of her relatives have also withered away. She has been living in the house since she was ten years old. Why not let my father adopt her as an adopted daughter and then marry her to the prince of Qi King? Not a good marriage."

The emperor's eyebrows gradually widened, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible. In this way, the queen's sister married the prince, which was very reasonable in terms of status. However, in fact, Prince Qi's family just married an orphan, which meant that he had no family, only face and no dignity.

He personally helped the queen up, "It's indeed a good match."

"But I don't want to get involved in this kind of thing. I think it's better for you to issue a decree to Prince Qi's Mansion."

"Send your distant cousin to Ping'an City with Yizhi so that she can marry the prince of Qi."

Empress Zheng was so blessed, "I will summon my mother to the palace tomorrow."

The emperor smiled and said, "The queen is indeed my good wife."

He looked at the queen with satisfaction, "It's getting late, it's time to rest."

······

The queen acted quickly and summoned her mother, Mrs. Li Guogong, into the palace the next day to talk.

Within three days, Duke Li had written the name of his distant cousin into his family tree.

The cousin bowed outside the ancestral hall, changed her surname to Zheng Wan, and became the third young lady of Duke Li's palace.

From the beginning to the end, Mrs. Li Guogong only met Zheng Wan once and gave a few words of advice, such as writing more letters back after leaving.

Then he gave four dowry girls and a thin dowry, which totaled only about one thousand taels of silver.

Zheng Wan, an orphan girl, suddenly found such a good match that fell from the sky. She was overjoyed.

When he came out of the Duke's wife's room, he couldn't wait to ask the maid to pack her luggage.

Before Zheng Wan and Yizhi left, spies in Duke Li's mansion spread the news, and King Qi quickly received the news.

In the evening, when Xiao Yu returned home, he was called to the study by King Qi. King Qi handed the secret report to Xiao Yu with a sullen face, "Take a look."

The secret report was sent back by a carrier pigeon. The handwriting was very small. Xiao Yu read it quickly and turned pale.

King Qi slammed the table hard, "Xiao Shuo, a child with a dirty mouth, actually bullied me to this point!"

"You just blackmailed me for two hundred thousand silver, and in the blink of an eye, you sent me to Prince Qi's Mansion with an orphan girl from nowhere!"

With a cold face, Xiao Yu held the secret report to the candle and burned it.

King Qi got angry, "Counting the time, I'm afraid Miss Zheng will leave for Ping'an City tomorrow."

"No matter how slow we go, it will only take half a month at most."

He looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Yu'er, what do you think we should do?"

Xiao Yu's face was expressionless, "My marriage has already been arranged. Now that Miss Zheng is here, let her go back and forth wherever she wants."

King Qi frowned and said nothing. He naturally hoped that Xiao Yu could marry Miss Gu.

As a vassal king, who doesn't covet the throne above?
