Li You spoke respectfully, his heart filled with anxiety.
He then bowed to Ying Zheng.
Regarding this.
Ying Zheng was not very surprised.
For the past four years, Li You had persistently pursued Zhao Ying, and this matter had already spread throughout the court.
Many people even secretly mocked Li You for being too foolish, fixating on the daughter of the Zhao family and not considering others.
"Have you thought this through?"
"Once you marry Zhao Ying, if you dare to bully her, not only will Zhao Feng not let you go, I will not let you go either."
"I do not wish for her to suffer any grievances after marrying you."
Ying Zheng said seriously, his words full of admonishnt.
Now that things had co to this.
Ying Zheng no longer hid the concern for Zhao Ying in his words.
"Please rest assured, Great King."
"I will certainly not mistreat Ying’er."
"I have already promised Lord Wu’an that in this lifeti, there will only be Ying’er." Li You imdiately replied.
"Are you certain?" Ying Zheng asked in a deep voice.
"I am certain." Li You nodded affirmatively.
"I have heard your words."
"If you break this promise in the future, I will not let you go." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this!
Li You nodded repeatedly: "I will rember it in my heart."
But then.
Li You seed to understand sothing.
"Does the Great King agree to my marriage with Zhao Ying?" Li You asked with surprise and delight.
"Zhao Feng has already agreed, why would I refuse?"
"Moreover."
"Over the years, your deep feelings for Zhao Ying have not gone unnoticed by ."
"I have only one request of you: if in the future, Zhao Ying sheds a single tear in your Li family, I will not let you go." Ying Zheng admonished once again.
Li You imdiately bowed: "Thank the Great King for the grace."
"I will have Fengchang set the date for your marriage, not now, but after the defeat of Qi." Ying Zheng continued to speak slowly, gesturing to Li You.
For this son-in-law, Ying Zheng had given his approval.
"Thank the Great King for the grace." Li You expressed his gratitude once again.
To have Fengchang personally set the wedding date was an honor reserved only for the sons and daughters of the royal family, what virtue and ability did Li You possess?
However.
This was good.
It further highlighted the current King’s regard for the Zhao family and his Li family.
anwhile, Li Si was deep in thought, with his intelligence it was not difficult to discern that the King’s concern for the daughter of the Zhao family seed to be more than that for the daughter of an ordinary courtier.
Such concern was like that of an elder.
"Could it be that the King truly regards Lord Wu’an as a son, being so attentive even to the marriage of Lord Wu’an’s sister."
"Having Fengchang set the ceremony is an honor only for the sons and daughters of the royal family."
"The King’s favor towards the entire family of Lord Wu’an is indeed unparalleled."
"Today, he even summoned Lord Wu’an’s mother alone into the palace for an audience, to dine together."
"Sending You’er into the army under the command of Lord Wu’an was indeed the right decision."
"Now, marrying into the Zhao family is undoubtedly a good thing for my Li family, even if sothing happens in the future, my Li family will not be cut off."
"Although the Zhao family has only been prominent for a re decade since Zhao Feng joined the military, it has now beco the leading family in Qin."
In contrast to Li You’s elation, Li Si was contemplating.
Though his son’s decision and mutual affection were true, Li Si considered the benefits of allying with the Zhao family through marriage.
For his Li family, this was undoubtedly a great blessing.
"Li You."
"You may withdraw for now." Ying Zheng waved his hand.
"I accept the edict."
At this mont, Li You was overwheld with joy.
There was now no obstacle to his marriage with Zhao Ying.
For him, this was absolutely a great blessing.
He could finally marry the wife he longed for.
Feeling this way, Li You was extrely excited as he left Zhangtai Palace.
"General Li is very happy today."
Commander Ren watched as Li You ca out in high spirits and imdiately smiled.
"The Great King has agreed to my marriage."
"I am finally getting married, when the wedding banquet happens, Commander Ren must co drink celebratory wine." Li You enthusiastically said.
"To whom is the marriage?"
"The daughter of the Zhao family?" Commander Ren asked with surprise.
"Yes." Li You nodded heavily, then walked away briskly.
"This lad, he really managed to win her over."
"The sister of Lord Wu’an, also a great physician."
"The status of the Li family will be even higher." Commander Ren thought with great astonishnt.
He never expected that Li You would actually succeed.
Within Zhangtai Palace!
"What do you think of Li You’s marriage?" Ying Zheng’s gaze fell upon Li Si, carrying a hint of assessnt.
"To the Great King."
"Naturally, I agree."
"It is You’er’s own choice."
"I have only this one son, how could I refuse him?"
"To be honest with the Great King, a few years ago, I wanted to persuade You’er to give up, but ultimately, I couldn’t go against his wishes." Li Si smiled helplessly.
"When Ying’er enters your mansion, I, do not wish to hear any bad news about her."
Ying Zheng stood up slowly, speaking to Li Si with utmost seriousness.
With this sudden serious remark.
Li Si was startled within his heart.
Ultimately, he underestimated the Great King’s deep favor towards the Zhao Family.
"Please rest assured, Great King."
"A daughter of the Zhao Family entering my Li Family, it is the honor of my Li Family."
"The Li Family is sincerely committed to treating her with respect." Li Si imdiately affird.
"Ying’er is not a daughter of the Zhao Family." Ying Zheng spoke slowly, with a trace of seriousness on his face.
"What?"
Li Si looked bewildered and confused.
"She is a daughter of the Ying family." Ying Zheng spoke again.
Li Si’s eyes widened, looking at Ying Zheng in disbelief: "Ying... a daughter of the Ying family?"
"This... this..."
At this mont.
Li Si’s heart was pounding wildly.
Clearly unexpected of such a situation, even more unexpected that Ying Zheng would suddenly say such words.
"What? Don’t believe it?"
Ying Zheng looked at Li Si with amusent, the sternness on his face gradually fading.
"Great King."
"The siblings of Lord Wu’an were born in Shaqiu, how could they be daughters of the Ying family?"
"The daughter of the forr Lord Chang’an has already married into the Wang Family, could there be other offspring left?" Li Si asked tentatively.
"Who told you it was Chengjiao’s?" Ying Zheng smiled faintly.
To make soone as clever as Li Si this shocked, one can imagine just how earth-shattering this matter is.
"Not the daughter of Lord Chang’an, then could it be a mber of the royal family clan?" Li Si still looked bewildered.
He simply had not thought about Ying Zheng.
After all, it was unimaginable in any way.
"She is my daughter."
Ying Zheng did not continue keeping him in suspense, but said resolutely.
"What?"
Li Si stood up abruptly, eyes wide open, looking incredulous.
That single sentence was like a real earth-shattering revelation.
"This can’t be possible."
"How could the Great King have children among the common people?"
"All the Great King’s concubines are in the palace, except... except..."
The words stopped here.
Li Si imdiately thought of a possibility.
More than twenty years ago.
That woman whom the royal clan, the court nobility all targeted.
Also the woman who almost beca the Queen of Qin.
The daughter of the great physician Xia Wuqie.
Xia Dong’er.
At this mont!
Li Si thought of Zhao Feng’s mother, whom he had just t in Zhao Mansion. Although over thirty years old, she still retained her charm.
Moreover, her bearing was quite extraordinary.
"What you’re thinking is correct."
"Ying’er is indeed the daughter of Dong’er and I." Ying Zheng smiled slightly.
"Then what about Lord Wu’an?"
Li Si raised his head and suddenly realized it, then asked tentatively.
"Ying’er and Feng’er are full siblings. If Ying’er is my daughter, who do you think Feng’er is the son of?" Ying Zheng said with a smile.
Upon hearing this.
Li Si’s mind buzzed, this secret, a trendous secret.
"Zhao Feng turns out to be the son of the Great King."
"No wonder... no wonder."
"No wonder the Great King has never had any apprehension about his authority, and even issued a royal edict to enhance his prestige, no wonder anyone close to Zhao Feng in the court was promoted, no wonder Han Fei could beco the pri minister, all because of Zhao Feng."
"So that’s how it is!"
