Chapter 71 Zhuge Wan'er

Chapter 71 Zhuge Wan'er

The queen looked at Xuanyuan Xingyao's slightly confused eyes, and her eyes couldn't help but soften.

Xuanyuan Xingyao's daily life is filled with martial arts practice.

Once you go to the battlefield, there is more fighting and everything else is gone.

So much so that even though he is about to become an adult, Xuanyuan Xingyao still shows no signs of enlightenment.

True love is the most luxurious thing in the royal family.

In the royal family, being able to marry someone you like is considered a good thing.

Generally, after marriage, couples treat each other with respect, and in worse cases, they become cold to each other.

In other words, the emperor still has some fatherly love for the princes.

Although the emperor makes the final decision, he usually asks the princes for their opinions.

He would ask them if they had anyone they liked. If so, the emperor would basically agree as long as the conditions were not too bad.

Even the Crown Prince Xuanyuan Leng was given the right to choose within a certain range by the Emperor.

Therefore, except for those ambitious princes, they married people who were beneficial to them.

Others married the ones they liked, so they all lived very well after marriage.

Even though Xuanyuan Leng and the Crown Princess had some concubines after their marriage, their relationship was very good.

Only Xuanyuan Xingyao, who is almost an adult, still shows no signs of having a crush on someone.

As parents, how could the emperor and empress not be anxious?

Ning You pointed at the picture album in front of Xuanyuan Xingyao and chuckled, with a hint of ridicule in his laughter.

"You are almost of age, so it's time to start looking for a marriage partner. Here are some of the more prestigious ladies in the imperial capital. Take a look and see if there is anyone you like. If so, ask your father to decree the marriage."

Xuanyuan Xingyao did not open the album, and even pushed it aside with disgust.

"Father, Mother, I just want to cultivate well now and don't want to get married."

Xuanyuan Xingyao's heart was actually not as calm as he appeared.

It’s not that he was embarrassed, but when the queen talked about getting married just now, Nangong Jing’s face suddenly appeared in Xuanyuan Xingyao’s mind.

Although it is very normal for men to get married on the mainland, aren't he and Nangong Jing brothers?

Why do I think of him when I talk about getting married?

Xuanyuan Xingyao might be a little naive in some ways, but he is not really stupid.

He knew that if he expressed his thoughts just now, even if he didn't mean it that way, Nangong Jing would be blacklisted by Xuanyuan Hongtai.

Even Nangong Tao might be implicated and his family might be expelled from the imperial capital.

So Xuanyuan Xingyao just kept his thoughts to himself silently, and didn't even tell Xuanyuan Leng.

Xuanyuan Xingyao thought that he couldn’t figure it out now, but there would always be a day in the future when he would figure it out.

"Getting married doesn't conflict with cultivation. Look at your elder and second brothers. They didn't continue their cultivation after getting married. Your elder brother even helped me with government affairs. Didn't his cultivation improve rapidly?"

Xuanyuan Hongtai patiently persuaded Xuanyuan Xingyao, wanting to let him know the benefits of getting married.

It is difficult to change what Xuanyuan Xingyao has determined.

It’s the same this time. If he says he won’t get married, then he won’t get married.

Xuanyuan Hongtai and Xuanyuan Leng, even Ning You and Crown Princess Lan Qier, took turns to persuade Xuanyuan Xingyao, but it was useless.

In the end, the four people who were thirsty were completely defeated by Xuanyuan Xingyao.

The first to surrender was Xuanyuan Hongtai. He looked at Xuanyuan Xingyao's impatient face and waved his hand helplessly.

"Forget it, Yao'er is still young anyway, so let's wait a few more years before discussing this marriage."

Ning You was speechless and glanced at Xuanyuan Hongtai.

He was the first one to bring up Xuanyuan Xingyao's marriage, and he was also the first one to give up.

What a good person he was.

"Yao'er, if you really don't want to get married, we can get engaged first and then get married a few years later."

Ning You was mainly worried that these two or three years would be like several years, and ten or more years would also be like several years.

If it takes two or three years, it will be fine. But if it takes ten years, there will still be a few outstanding ladies left in this album.

The noble ladies in the imperial capital, in addition to being talented, also come from open-minded families.

Basically, most people get married in their twenties at most, and it is rare for them to be unmarried in their thirties or forties.

So Ning You was worried that Xuanyuan Xingyao would not get married for a long time, and when he got married, he would not be able to find a good noble lady.

Ning You has two sons, Xuanyuan Leng and Xuanyuan Xingyao, so naturally she hopes that their partner will be the best one.

"Mother, I really don't want to get married, nor do I want to be engaged. If you insist on getting me engaged, I will go find my master."

Perhaps because he was spoiled since childhood, Xuanyuan Xingyao also has his willful side when facing his family.

Look, Ning You just made a suggestion, but he directly threatened her.

Ning You looked at Xuanyuan Xingyao, who looked like he was saying, "If you get me an engagement, I'll leave," and felt completely helpless.

"Forget it, forget it. I really can't do anything about you. When all the good ladies are picked up, when you want to get married in the future, there will be no good candidates. What will you do?"

Ning You huffed and glared at Xuanyuan Xingyao, saying with some disappointment.

Ning You didn't understand. Both she and the emperor were smart people.

Even Xuanyuan Leng is smooth-talking and has very high emotional intelligence.

Why is Xuanyuan Xingyao like a piece of wood and refuses to understand no matter what I say?

Xuanyuan Xingyao didn't care about being glared at, because he just didn't want to get married.

What's good about getting married? It's uncomfortable to think about having someone occupy half of his private space.

Xuanyuan Xingyao really doesn't want to, but can Xuanyuan Hongtai and Ning You force him to get married?

There was no way around it; the original concubine selection banquet ended up being a family dinner.

Fortunately, Xuanyuan Hongtai did not reveal in public that he wanted to choose a concubine for Xuanyuan Xingyao.

Therefore, no one except their family knew what happened in Fengyi Palace today.

"Boss, when you have time, go talk to Yao'er. I really think this young lady from the Zhuge family is quite good. It would be a shame to miss her."

After the banquet, Xuanyuan Xingyao was the first to stand up and say goodbye, returning to Zhaochun Palace to practice.

After Xuanyuan Xingyao left, Ning You pulled Xuanyuan Leng, hoping that he would talk to Xuanyuan Xingyao when he was free and help him to come to his senses.

It’s not that Ning You is in a hurry for Xuanyuan Xingyao to get married immediately, but she and Xuanyuan Hongtai both have their eyes on a noble lady.

Both her background and talent were superior, and both of them felt that she was a match for Xuanyuan Xingyao.

"Mother, my seventh brother is clearly opposed to getting married. If I keep telling him this, he might develop a rebellious mentality. What should I do then, and he'll be even more opposed to getting married?"

Xuanyuan Leng looked at Ning You with a helpless look and said.

In fact, Xuanyuan Leng really felt that Xuanyuan Hongtai and Ning You were a little too impatient.

Xuanyuan Xingyao is only a few years old now. He has no choice but to have his own children as a prince as soon as possible to appease people.

As for Xuanyuan Xi, who was almost the same age as Xuanyuan Xingyao, Xuanyuan Leng could also guess why he got married so early.

It was nothing more than wanting to gain more connections for Xuanyuan Qing. Ever since the imperial concubine was demoted to a concubine, the lives of the two brothers have become difficult.

Although the emperor had ordered that the two should not be neglected, even Ning You appeared magnanimous and treated them equally.

But it is still different to have a mother to protect you than not to have a mother to protect you.

Especially when Wu Da Ying was still a noble concubine, she offended many people.

Secretly, everyone reached out their hands, and Xuanyuan Qing and Xuanyuan Xi had a very sad time.

In the end, Xuanyuan Hongtai found a foster mother for the two of them. Although Yunpin was not favored much, her family background was average.

But she is also an old veteran in the palace, and she has a good relationship with people. Most importantly, she has a very gentle personality.

It has to be said that Xuanyuan Hongtai has considered a lot for the two of them.

Perhaps because he had suffered a lot before, he no longer had the initial rejection of his adoptive mother and her husband.

After Xuanyuan Hongtai issued the order, the two of them accepted it obediently.

Xuanyuan Hongtai, who had originally thought that the two would have a fight, was very relieved and thought that the two had finally grown up.

With Concubine Yun, their lives became much better, but it was still far worse than when the Imperial Concubine was still around.

Therefore, the two of them hoped to take that position even more, because Wu promised that he was still alive, so the Wu family would still be used by Xuanyuan Qing.

Even the Yun family, where Concubine Yun was from, although they did not show it on the surface, anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were already standing behind Xuanyuan Qing.

Because of this, Xuanyuan Qing still has many people supporting him in the court over the years.

It also caused a lot of trouble for Xuanyuan Leng, but Xuanyuan Leng himself was capable and Xuanyuan Hongtai trusted him.

Although he wanted to sharpen Xuanyuan Leng, he never thought of changing the crown prince.

If this were not the case, Xuanyuan Leng's position as crown prince might really be shaken.

When he reached the age to get married, Xuanyuan Qing asked the emperor to arrange a marriage for him early on.

And not surprisingly, she was the daughter of a powerful minister, and even the concubine's family background was not weak.

Moreover, Xuanyuan Qing married the daughter of a military general, while Xuanyuan Xi married the daughter of a civil official.

This is a plan to catch all the civil and military officials in one fell swoop.

Sometimes Xuanyuan Leng didn’t know what Xuanyuan Hongtai was thinking, as he actually agreed to these two marriages.

If it weren't for Lan Qier's family background, she would be better than the other two.

And Xuanyuan Hongtai's love for Xuanyuan Leng remains the same as before.

Xuanyuan Leng almost thought that Xuanyuan Hongtai wanted to replace him.

Xuanyuan Leng also knew about Xuanyuan Hongtai and Ning You, the princesses favored by Xuanyuan Xingyao.

Zhuge Wan'er, the eldest daughter of the Zhuge family in the imperial capital.

Although the Zhuge family is a family of civil officials, they have considerable power in the court.

Especially Zhuge Wan'er's father, who is now the Minister of Revenue and holds a high position of power.

Zhuge Wan'er herself has a strong talent for cultivation, and the most important thing is that although she is a magician, she is an ice magician.

His attributes are very compatible with Xuanyuan Xingyao. If the two get married, not only will the Zhuge family naturally stand on Xuanyuan Leng's side.

Even the children that Xuanyuan Xingyao and Zhuge Wan'er will have in the future will definitely have good talents.

I have to say that Xuanyuan Hongtai and Ning You really have good intentions.

But Xuanyuan Leng didn't want Xuanyuan Xingyao to sacrifice his marriage for him.

If possible, Xuanyuan Leng hopes that Xuanyuan Xingyao can choose someone he likes.

Xuanyuan Leng actually did not agree with today's selection of concubines. He felt it was too early.

Moreover, Xuanyuan Leng also had a premonition that Xuanyuan Xingyao would not like it, and the facts turned out to be as he expected.

However, Xuanyuan Hongtai and Ning You both have the same attitude, which is to hope that Xuanyuan Xingyao can get engaged as soon as possible.

Xuanyuan Leng had no choice but to bring Lan Qier with him.

If Xuanyuan Xingyao agrees to choose a concubine, Xuanyuan Leng will not say anything and will only silently bless him.

But if Xuanyuan Xingyao disagrees, Xuanyuan Leng will not force him.

Ning You hopes Xuanyuan Leng can persuade Xuanyuan Xingyao.

I can only say that I am going to disappoint Ning You. Author's words: Thank you Bole 9492239 (9492239) for your support, mua! To know more exciting content, please leave me a message on Liancheng Reading.
