Actually, if you read the novel, you can get why RX chose Four to ask for a (forced) marriage at that moment. She did list out several "candidates" who she could offer her hand and the reasons why she couldn't choose them over Four, and those reasons are not romantic at all.
Should she ask Eight? No. Because Kang Xi will never agree to let her marry him. Kang Xi hates Eight for his open interest in the throne, while RX is largely favoured by the Mongolian, an important alien of Qing dynasty. If RX married Eight, he would be bestowed with more power to control. So, Eight out.
Should she ask Thirteen? No. Because after the lotus lake incident, he determined that she belonged to Four. So this is out of question.
Maybe Fourteen? She thinks he hates her with all the whining and constant complaints he aimed at her for a while. So she can't risk her pride for something impossible.
So... Four it is. She is convinced that he understands her troubles very well, and wants to marry her too (because he insistently showered her with gifts and obvious interest), plus the fact that he is and will be the most powerful "tree" who can shelter her from any storms and thunders. If she decides to marry off herself to save her little life, then why not choose the powerful person to entrust her fate? Hence, the proposal!
I hope after reading this you can feel better about RX's sudden action. ^_^
