Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

King Ning was stunned for a moment. He remembered that Princess Jiarou was the marriage partner of the Western Continent and quickly asked, “Why? Did something happen?”

“It’s hard to say. I feel Princess Jiarou has something on her mind and doesn’t want to marry.

“So I want you to help me analyze whether this is her personal intention or someone else’s.

“Or perhaps we left behind some grudges when we attacked the Western Continent.”

“There shouldn’t be any hatred.

“The King of the Western Continent, chosen by my younger brother, is the mortal enemy of the original king.

“After he ascended the throne, he either killed or imprisoned the original direct descendants of the royal family.

“Moreover, there was another drought on the Western Continent last year. Even if the King had any intentions, he would not implement them so quickly.

“Thus, I feel if there is a problem, it should be with Princess Jiarou. Why don’t I go and sound her out?” King Ning asked.

“Go. If Princess Jiarou is not willing to marry, it is fine. I will not allow a woman with ulterior motives to enter the palace.”

“I understand.”

“Oh, right, you only have one main consort right now. Do you want to fill in all the secondary consorts in this selection?”

King Ning hesitated for a moment before shaking his head. “Forget about the secondary consort. It’s better to choose a concubine.”

He was satisfied with his consort and did not want to share her power.

However, her attention was now on the child, so she could find someone to serve her.

“Alright, take note. If there’s anyone suitable, go to Imperial Grandmother and let her know.”

“Yes, if the Emperor has nothing else, I will take my leave.”

The Emperor nodded. After he left, the Emperor said to Eunuch Qian, “Tomorrow, you go to the various Imperial Houses and gather the names of the children of the right age who need to marry. This time, we will hold the selection for them.”

“What about you?”

“There’s plenty to go around. Let’s take it slow. The palace is not in a hurry to add so many people.”

“Yes, this old servant will remember it.” After Eunuch Qian finished speaking, he served him tea and left.

The Emperor then began to approve the memorials.

On the other end, other than staring at Princess Jiarou occasionally, Zhou Ying was also checking on the situation on the Western continent.

Unexpectedly, after entering February, a cold spring came.

It was snowing, and it seemed to have been snowing for a whole day and night.

Although the drought in most areas had been alleviated, the sudden change in the weather weakened many people’s bodies. All of a sudden, many caught a cold.

When Zhou Ying saw this, she simply took advantage of the cloud cover in the sky to push it, relieving the drought on the Western Continent.

At the same time, she also sent many medicinal herbs to the various state capitals to treat the viral cold.

After finishing her work, she returned to the villa and went to sleep without even showering.

Gu Chengrui was done with his work. When he found her and saw her pale face, he knew what was going on. He sighed and wiped her face. He tucked her in and went to the study in the Mother Goddess Temple to read.

After the two left the interspace the next day, they heard Qiuxiang calling at the door. Only then did they realize that the sun had risen. The two of them changed their clothes and immediately went out.

“Master, Mistress, Princess Mingyu is here. She is playing at Young Lady’s place.” Qiuxiang lowered her head and reported.

“Prepare some water for washing up and some food for us.” Gu Chengrui said.

After she left, he looked at Zhou Ying and whispered, “How embarrassing, no? I hope you won’t take risks again in the future.”

“This is an opportunity we can’t miss. I’m also doing this to benefit tens of thousands of people.” Zhou Ying pushed him away playfully..
