123 It’s Not Easy to Get a Wife
“Jiang Xi, are you really going to visit my grandmother with me today? My stepmother just gave birth to a pair of daughters not long ago. I’m afraid she’s not in a good mood.” Zhao Yingying looked at Jiang Xi worriedly. She had died miserably here in her previous life, and now that she was back, she felt as if it had been a lifetime ago. One could imagine how conflicted she was. She even wanted to cry as soon as she entered the city gate.
“Jiang Xi hasn’t married General Zhao Ruifeng yet, and she has just arrived in the capital. It’s better to pay the Zhao family a visit so that she won’t be given any false accusations,” Wu Tielong, who was outside the carriage, said in a low voice. Now that the news of the Zhao family’s eldest son, Zhao Ruifeng, marrying a mountain village girl had spread, everyone in the Zhao family would probably be waiting to see the joke.

In the past, whenever new people came to the mental hospital, they would be brought to her for her to see first. Now, it was the other way around. Oh, when would she be to climb the social ladder
Zhao Ruifeng heard their conversation and thought that he would personally send Jiang Xi back to the Zhao family’s house later. However, plans could not keep up with changes. He had not even arrived at the Zhao family’s house, but there were already people from the palace waiting at the door, asking him to enter the palace quickly.

“You can go ahead. I’ll bring Yingying back. Yingying will be staying with me for the next two days.” Jiang Xi waved her hand generously, and the group bade farewell to Zhao Ruifeng and walked toward the Zhao family’s residence.
On the way to the palace, Zhao Ruifeng’s mind was unsettled. Even when he entered the palace and saw the emperor, he still looked uneasy.
“General Zhao, why do you feel so uneasy? This is the first time this one has seen you looking at the door so frequently as if you can’t wait to leave. Oh, that’s right, the girl I’ve arranged for you to marry has entered Jing City today, right?” The emperor put away the blinds. There were many portraits beside the blinds. They seemed to be the portraits of this year’s selection of consorts.
A rare smile appeared on Zhao Ruifeng’s face as he replied indifferently, “Yes.” After that, he glanced at the door again, hoping that his grandparents would not make things difficult for Jiang Xi and that Xiao Meili. He was really worried that Jiang Xi would be bullied.
“Speaking of which, it seems like fate has brought us together. The lady I arranged for you came from Happy Village. Your sister, Zhao Panpan, also lived in Happy Village before.”The emperor laughed heartily and was very happy.

Our royal family and your family are really fated.” Thinking of the things that had happened in the past, the emperor still felt a little fear. He did not have many children, and he hoped that nothing would happen to the crown prince.
Zhao Ruifeng did not say anything. He had never had a good impression of Xiao Meili and Zhao Panpan.
However, the emperor was still sighing. “As the old saying goes, if you can’t repay the kindness to someone for saving your life, you might as well devote your life to him.” It’s a pity that the crown prince has already decided on a wife. If Zhao Panpan were to marry him, she would only be a secondary consort. I’m afraid that would be a grievance for Panpan. Panpan is a good child. In the past, she often came to the palace to accompany me. I have been with young people for a long time, and it seems that I have also become young.”
The emperor’s words seemed to have been said inadvertently, but it directly frightened Zhao Ruifeng. The Emperor was now in his forties, but he had maintained himself very well. He looked no more than 30 years old, and his entire body was filled with the aura of an emperor. It was likely that women would not be able to take their eyes off him. Even a fool would know who to choose between the immature crown prince and the emperor who was in his prime. However, this was different from the rumors! The empress always saw Zhao Panpan as her future daughter-in-law, right? Otherwise, would the empress be an idiot? Would she would call Zhao Panpan into the palace every day to snatch her husband away?
However, these things had nothing to do with Zhao Ruifeng. To him, whether Zhao Panpan married the crown prince or the emperor, it was the same.
The emperor revealed a bit of information, and seeing that Zhao Ruifeng did not react, his heart relaxed a little. After all, Zhao Ruifeng was his favorite official, and Zhao Panpan was his sister, so he naturally had to see what Zhao Ruifeng thought. As for the empress, the emperor felt that she would agree.
“As long as you’re happy, Your Majesty.” Zhao Ruifeng replied that it had nothing to do with him who the emperor married. He just wanted to go home and see his wife! With his bad luck, it was not easy to get a wife!
“Forget it. Look at how anxious you are. If this is how you lead an army to war, I won’t be at ease leaving the army in your hands. Go home and bring Jiang Xi to the palace tomorrow. I’ve granted you a marriage, so I have to raise her status and make her worthy of you.” The emperor waved his hand, somewhat dispirited.
