Chapter 540: Gu Yunhe’s Intention 1

The King was in the middle of tea drinking.

He had not been busy with the court. Apart from the refugee issue which had been assigned to Lord Ling, everything else seemed to be going on well enough. So the King had been enjoying a very smooth period, which he assumed as the most flourishing time of the Saint Divine Land.

So when he saw Zhou Huailing coming to him, he showed a bright smile.

“What are you doing here?” The King asked, suggesting that they should skip the greetings and sit instead. “The issue of the refugees is solved?”

Zhou Huailing looked confident. “Yes. There are too many sick refugees this year and I am afraid that they will spread the disease, so I closed the gate for those who are sick and allowed only those who are healthy.”

“Those who are sick should get cured first outside the city first. We have been receiving too many refugees unconditionally during the past few years, and many have died of diseases and spread the sickness around to every civilian in the city. I took this method, because I want to be fair to the civilians in the capital.”

Hearing what he said, the King believed that those words made sense.

The officers on duty were all too lazy to go through the details. Ling, his son, was so careful about it. It was right of him to entrust him to do this matter.

The King was very pleased. He was very pleased with Zhou Huailing, showing a look of satisfaction.

“Just do the job well and I will grant you with awards when you are done,” the King said happily.

Zhou Huailing looked at Gu Ruxue.

Gu Ruxue nodded at him, feeling that it was the right time to start the conversation.

Zhou Huailing said, “Father, it is my duty to do the work for you, I don’t need any awards, but I would like to discuss something with you.”

The King looked at Zhou Huailing with confusion. “What is it?”

He suddenly remembered that Ling, his son, was with Ruxue today. If it were just about the refugees, he would have come alone. The refugees had made him neglect the other issue, but the King was very patient in front of Zhou Huailing and the Phoenix Girl.

He looked at them as he was drinking the tea.

Zhou Huailing felt a little restless. It was a Princess he was talking about, but he believed that it was right to do so. “Well, Ruxue’s Elder Brother, namely Gu Yunhe, is not young any more. He has just come back from Jiayu Pass and is now working for me. He should get married soon.”

“Who does he want? I can grant the marriage arrangement.” The King asked.

That man was the brother of the Phoenix Girl, and he should be arranged with a noble lady. Otherwise Ling would be humiliated.

Zhou Huailing smiled and shook his head. “Father, it is not some noble lady, but Xunyang. Xunyang was at Lady Chaoyan’s Adulthood Ceremony and Gu Yunhe fell for her. So he would like to know if he could marry the Princess?”

The King got startled, then he hesitated.

He did not have many children, and there were so few princesses among them.

He thought that Gu Yunhe was a good match, but he needed princesses to have some external marriages.

“Father, although the Gu Mansion has been a minor one, Ruxue is the Phoenix Girl, and I think Gu Yunhe is a great match for a Princess.”
