The Eighth Wise King became addicted to eavesdropping on the silly princess' thoughts - Chapter 368 Matchmaker

Sima Qingyun, who came to this big island with 12,000 elite Feiyun cavalry, inspected the entire island like a king inspecting a mountain. He found out that there were more than 200,000 aboriginal people distributed on this largest island, divided into small tribes, in a state of disorganization, lack of discipline and government management.

Wherever Sima Qingyun led his elite Feiyun cavalry, they didn't even have to fight. The indigenous tribes that were hurting each other and fighting for territory and resources all surrendered in fear and trepidation.

Seeing Sima Qingyun was a little excited, Luo Li uttered four words, "The fox borrows the power of the tiger."

Sima Qingyun smiled awkwardly and tried to restrain his excited expression.

Luo Li promptly put a stop to his tendency to be complacent: "Military Advisor Sima deceived millions of people in Shu to build a shrine for you, and deceived more than 200,000 natives on this island. Is it worth being so proud?"

When the Eighth Wise Prince Zhao Defang saw how the princess had scolded Sima Qingyun, he put out the arrogance that had just risen up in his heart twice, and smiled with his lips curled up, looking at Mr. Sima with a look of mockery and sarcasm in his eyes.

Sima Qingyun smiled bitterly, and had to control his desire to show off his achievements. He relied on keeping his tail between his legs, being honest and diligent to win the princess's appreciation.

It tells how to carefully resettle the hundreds of thousands of people who moved here, how to supervise the construction of docks, cities and the Eight Sages' Palace, how to select talents from the immigrants, send them to manage the natives and teach them to improve productivity. Dozens of schools from low to high levels were opened, so that the children who moved here could study and learn knowledge.

Sima Qingyun was so happy to receive the princess's approval and praise that his eyebrows couldn't help but tremble again. Thinking of his lifelong status of redeeming his crime, he quickly straightened his face and said modestly: "Thank you for your approval, princess. Sima will study hard all kinds of advanced knowledge you have taught me, and continue to work hard to help the prince and princess manage the specific affairs of this island."

This coolie was so useful and sensible. Luo Li was so happy that her eyebrows curved and she coaxed him, "Mr. Sima, be a good coolie. I will supply you with Maotai wine and fragrant tea, and I will also keep an eye out for suitable girls to help you, an old bachelor who can't find a wife."

Sima Qingyun's face turned red, and he shouted in his heart: [I, Sima Qingyun, am highly talented, well-educated, handsome, unrestrained and suave. Can't I get married? I just haven't met a woman who I like and who I love, okay? ]

Zhao Defang smiled wickedly and came to the rescue of Mr. Sima who was in a state of embarrassment and annoyance. "Li'er, Mr. Sima is talented, elegant and handsome. The reason he can't find a wife is not because there are no women who don't like him, but because he is too picky and has wasted his time to become an old bachelor. You don't have to bother to find a suitable girl for him. When he meets the right one, Sima will naturally bid farewell to his 39-year bachelor life."

Sima Qingyun suddenly raised his eyes to look at the princess and asked solemnly, "Princess, if I, Sima, find a girl I like, will you be willing to drink at my wedding?"

Luo Li nodded without hesitation, "Of course, this princess also hopes that you, Mr. Sima, will not be alone all your life, and still be a lonely old bachelor when you are old."...

Sima Qingyun quickly lowered his head to hide the smugness in his eyes after his scheming scheme had succeeded.

The life on Penghu Island was comfortable and easy. There was no hard work for several years. Everything was done by Sima Qingyun, a senior coolie. Luo Li and the Eighth Sage King Zhao Defang, who enjoyed the fruits of their labor, were at ease. After traveling all over the mountains and rivers on the island, they lived a leisurely and comfortable life in the beautifully built palace.

Luo Li looked at the light purple gauze curtain above her head, thinking about the single old man who could give her mother a happy life. "Sima Qingyun has too many evil intentions. It's not reliable for a woman to entrust her life to him. Besides, Sima Qingyun is only 39 years old. My 46-year-old mother might not feel comfortable eating young grass."

The princess had instilled in her head a lot of new and unorthodox ideas about gender equality and how to analyze the psychological and physiological needs of women who had been widowed for many years in order to benefit their health. Zhao Defang, out of filial piety to his mother, silently helped the princess think of a suitable candidate.

"Shen Xi is more suitable. After his wife passed away, he refused to remarry or take a concubine. He is about the same age as the queen mother, has excellent character, is calm and wise, and has a sense of humor. You can tentatively ask him if he has this intention?"

That's right! Luo Li's eyes lit up. How could she forget Shen Xi, the bachelor who had been widowed for six or seven years?

Finally helping his beloved wife solve the problem she had racked her brains for, Zhao Defang smiled and turned sideways to embrace her in his arms, "Li'er, now we have the candidate, it all depends on your ability as a matchmaker.

Now, I, your husband, will do my best to ensure your happiness."

Luo Li giggled softly, and said in a charming and long tone, "My dear husband, I'll have to trouble you to work harder for my happy sex life!"

Zhao Defang was teased so much that his body was boiling with heat. He eagerly undressed his beloved wife and said in a hoarse voice, "Li'er, your husband will work hard tonight."
