Old King Ping's heart skipped a beat.
He knew his body's condition. He had been on the battlefield many years ago and had left behind many hidden injuries.
However, all these years, famous doctors had been nursing his body and it was quite effective.
At least on the surface, Old King Ping looked hale and hearty with a ruddy complexion. He was an old man who couldn't be more robust.
However, this Miss Zhang was actually able to tell at a glance that there was a hidden danger in his body?
As expected, the wise never show their true colors!
Old King Ping secretly sized up Gu Shengyin. Looking at her from a different angle, he was more and more satisfied.
Hmm, good looks, good medical skills, good temper, and a clean family background …
Such a good lady is perfect for Chengxuan!
Old King Ping and Gu Shengyin chatted about many topics. When they left, Gu Shengyin specially gave him a pot of homemade flower tea, saying that it was good for his body.
…
After coming out from Gu Shengyin's courtyard, Old King Ping sighed. "Miracle Doctor Zhang is indeed a good lady."
Qi Chengxuan was delighted. "Father, do you like her too?"
Old King Ping glared at him. "If I say I don't like her, will you give up?"
Qi Chengxuan smiled and didn't reply.
His meaning was obvious.
Old King Ping said impatiently, "Let's not talk about you first. What do you think of Miracle Doctor Zhang? If a lady like her isn't willing, even if you force her to marry you, you won't be able to get along with her in the future. "
Qi Chengxuan smiled. "Father, don't worry. I still have this bit of charm."
"Brat!"
Old King Ping pondered for a moment and said, "I'll meet with Miracle Doctor Zhang's father in a few days and bring up this matter. After the Zhang family agrees, I'll enter the palace to ask for a favor."
He said, "In the eyes of outsiders, Miracle Doctor Zhang doesn't have a respectable status. It's inevitable that people will look down on her."
Thinking of the emperor's uncle who had doted on him since he was young, Qi Chengxuan was a little worried. "I wonder if His Majesty will be dissatisfied with Jiujiu?"
The old prince looked at him and said, "Don't worry. If I really marry a girl with no family background for you, even if His Majesty doesn't like it on the surface, he will definitely be willing."
Qi Chengxuan's expression darkened. Thinking of the current situation in King Ping's residence, he shut his mouth.
As a King with a different surname, King Ping's Mansion was so powerful that it was almost beyond the limits of a subject.
At this time, if she were to find another powerful marriage partner, the person in power above would feel uneasy.
Under such circumstances, the Emperor would be more at ease if King Ping married a lady with a simple family background.
No matter how much that person loved him, he was still the ruler of the world.
…
A few days later, when Zhang Gensheng's mind was completely blank, the old King Ping paid a formal visit to discuss the marriage of the two families' children.
Zhang Gensheng was dumbfounded the entire time, as if he had no idea what was going on.
A few months ago, he was just an ordinary merchant in a small town.
But now, a prince actually came to ask for his daughter's hand in marriage?
Moreover, it was the Princess Consort!
He tried his best to calm himself down. Looking at the smiling old King Ping, he said, "Your Highness, it's better to be cautious about this kind of marriage."
Old King Ping looked serious. "That's why I'm here to discuss with you, Mr. Zhang. If there are no objections, I'll enter the palace tomorrow and ask for an audience with His Majesty to grant a marriage between my son and Miss Zhang."
