To be honest, Li Si really did not like Ying Lan. He did not know what had happened to the Emperor recently. Ying Lan had only provided two farming blueprints, but she had become the Emperor's treasure.
It was one thing to talk about marriage, but he actually wanted Minister Li's daughter to learn leg massage. Wasn't this equivalent to being Ying Lan's servant?
"Your Majesty, this matter cannot be rushed. My daughter is proud and has difficulty interacting with the opposite sex. If she does not get along with the Sixth Prince, she will have a big quarrel every three days and a small quarrel every two days.”Li Si said earnestly.
"I feel that Prince Six is easy to talk to. Why would he be noisy? Minister Li, you worry too much.”Wang Ben winked at Li Si, who rolled his eyes at him.
"Yes, it depends on whether Lan 'er is willing or not. Find an opportunity to let the two of them meet.”Shi Huang made his decision without any explanation. He paused for a moment and looked at Ge Nia.
"Mr. Gai, did you observe Lan 'er just now? Does he have any hope in the way of the sword?”Qin Shi Huang was very concerned.
He had already found out that his son was talented in the military, but Ying Lan had always kept a low profile and did not want to show it. If he could nurture him into a General who could kill on the battlefield and contribute to Great Qin's future, wouldn't that be great?
"Your Majesty, there are power fluctuations on the Sixth Prince's body, but it's very weak. His Innate Ability is passable, and his talent is average, but he might have missed the best opportunity to practice the sword.”Ge Nia was more tactful in his words. He liked to teach some talented geniuses, and it was simple and easy to learn.
If Ying Lan was thrown to him, it would be like playing the lute to a cow. Most importantly, it would delay time. He wanted to break through to the sage realm.
"Alright, let's put this matter on hold. Minister Li, don't forget to let your daughter and Lan 'er meet as soon as possible.”Ying Zheng warned again.
"Yes." Li Si could only obey.
After the court session ended, Li Si returned to his residence with a worried expression.
"What's wrong? Could it be that His Majesty is angry at you?”Madam came up to welcome him.
"His Majesty wants to matchmake Wan Ning's marriage.”Li Si did not hide it.
"Isn't this a happy occasion? Which prince will she marry?" Madam asked with a puzzled expression.
"Sixth Prince Ying Lan…"
"Ah, the Sixth Prince who sleeps in his residence all day and never leaves his residence?”Madam's expression immediately turned ugly.
Seeing Li Si nod, Madam became even more anxious.
"What is Your Majesty thinking? Isn't this embarrassing our Li family?! Any other prince would do.”
"Sigh, the heart of an emperor is like a needle at the bottom of the sea. Go and tell Wan Ning to go to the Qi Palace tonight to see the Sixth Prince.”Li Si shook his head helplessly.
A moment later, there was a commotion in the Li Residence.
"Pa da, pa da." A beautiful and graceful figure kept smashing things to vent her dissatisfaction. It was Li Si's daughter, Li Wanning, a famous beauty in Xianyang.
"Who is that Ying Lan? Why should I marry him? Just because his father is the First Emperor?”
"I won't go, I won't go!"
As she spoke, Li Wanning's tears fell. Her flawless beauty was enough to make thousands of men go crazy.
"Shh, Ning 'er, lower your voice. If the walls have ears, you're going against the law!”Mrs. Li was so frightened that her face turned pale. She hurriedly covered Li Wanning's mouth.
Then, they had a long chat…
Evening, Qi Palace.
"Lan 'er, you're too good at sleeping. It seems that your body is still weak. You must be too tired from attending morning court, right?”Although Madam Qi said so, she had a doting expression on her face. This son was getting more and more pleasing to the eye.
Ying Lan was the first prince to attend the morning court and also the first to obtain a title of nobility.
Before, wherever she went, she would be criticized and rolled her eyes. Even those eunuchs and maidservants did not show her the respect she deserved.
Now, it was different. A mother was valued by her son, and Ying Lan was favored. Her status rose with the tide. The other concubines took the initiative to visit, wanting to learn a little about the ways of taking care of a husband and raising their children.
"Sigh, it's not that I'm weak. I woke up too early and couldn't take it.”Ying Lan yawned." I'll cook tonight. I'll let Mother taste the stir-fried shredded potatoes, ham, and corn!”
"Then Consort Mother is in luck." Madam Qi's eyes lit up. She could only eat Ying Lan's cooking once a month, and she was full of praise for it.
"By the way, Lan 'er, when are you going to show your father those crops?”Madam Qi was filled with anticipation.
"There's no hurry."
Madam Qi wanted to strike while the iron was hot, but seeing Ying Lan's unhappy expression, she couldn't say anything.
Ying Lan entered the kitchen and started to get busy. After a while, a plate of fragrant stir-fried shredded potatoes was ready.
"Lan 'er, what do you mean by stir-fry?" Concubine Qi looked at the golden potatoes and was surprised. She had only eaten sour and spicy shredded potatoes before. This was definitely a new way of cooking.
"You won't understand even if I tell you. Try it." Ying Lan was somewhat pleased with herself. At this moment, a shout came from outside the door.
"The Prime Minister's daughter, Li Wanning, is here to visit the Qi Palace.”
After a while, a delicate figure walked out.
Ying Lan couldn't help but take a few more glances at her. Although she didn't put on any makeup, it still couldn't hide her exquisite features, especially the resentment and anger in her eyes.
Just this temperament alone was enough to hold her down! As expected of the top beauty in Xianyang City.
Ying Lan was stunned. Could it be that he had done something to let this little girl down?
"I am Li Wanning. Greetings, Consort Qi and Prince Six.”Although she was unhappy, it did not affect her etiquette as a daughter of a noble family.
"Quickly, don't be polite. How can the daughter of the Prime Minister have the time to come to the Qi Palace?”Concubine Qi quickly went forward to help her up and asked curiously.
Seeing Ying Lan and Concubine Qi's puzzled expressions, Li Wanning was only momentarily stunned before she reacted. It seemed that the two of them still did not know the Emperor's intentions.
This time, she came here without any makeup. She was afraid that Ying Lan was an ignorant and incompetent person. If he took a fancy to her and wanted to punish her on the spot, she would have to give in half-heartedly. When the rice was cooked, it would be too late to say anything.
However, this was the first time he had seen the rumored unambitious Sixth Prince. He did not seem to be so annoying. He looked handsome and could be considered a graceful young master.
Of course, this was not enough to catch Li Wanning's attention.
"Consort Qi, this is His Majesty's intention. He wants to matchmake Ning 'er and the sixth prince.”Li Wanning went straight to the point.
"That's great. You're a natural beauty, and my Lan 'er is a talented person. Your Majesty really has good taste!”Concubine Qi could not help but be delighted as she held Li Wanning's hand.
The latter frowned slightly. A great talent? Was he good at sleeping?
"Come, come, come. This is Lan 'er's cooking. Try it.”Consort Qi picked up two shredded potatoes.
Not long after it was out of the pot, the hot fragrance and the golden color of the oil made people's fingers twitch. Even Li Wanning, who was well-mannered, could not help but twitch her nose.
