Especially since she is the daughter of the Regent of the Northern Desert. It is said that the Regent has two sons and a daughter, and this daughter is the apple of his eye.
If I were to marry her, she would surely be a great help to me.
For a time, many unmarried young officials in the hall were tempted, while those who were married regretted that they had married too early.
Even King Xiao and King Chu couldn't help but glance at Gao Yufei a few more times, their eyes dark as if they were secretly weighing their options.
Only Crown Prince Xiao Ye remained oblivious, showing no expression whatsoever.
Gao Yufei had already secretly observed all the men in the hall, and seeing that everyone looked eager to try, she was very pleased with herself.
"Oh? You just want to choose a husband? Does the Regent want to form a marriage alliance with my Great Liang and marry his daughter to my Great Liang?"
Emperor Wenjian asked in confusion.
You have to understand that the Great Liang is not as rich as the Northern Desert, and the Regent only has one daughter. How could he bear to let his daughter marry far away?
"It's a marriage alliance, but not to marry into the Great Liang. Instead, we'll choose one to return to my Northern Desert."
Gao Changhong said.
"Does the Regent have a suitable candidate in mind?"
Emperor Wenjian followed up with the question.
If Emperor Wenjian were to choose a husband to return to their Northern Desert, he would have to think carefully. Among these officials, the Regent should definitely not be allowed to choose the best man from the Northern Desert.
If it were an ordinary but good-looking official, it wouldn't matter.
"That depends on my daughter. I want her to choose for herself in Daliang. It just so happens that so many outstanding men from Daliang are gathered in this hall today. I think it would be better for my daughter to choose for herself now. What do you think?"
"That is acceptable, but I have always been kind to my subjects. If the princess chooses a husband she does not wish for, I hope the Regent will not force her."
Emperor Wenjian laughed.
After speaking, he not only glanced at Gao Changhong, but also looked at his ministers, especially those with outstanding abilities, as if giving them a warning look.
"That's natural, but if they're willing, I hope Your Majesty won't hesitate."
Gao Changhong smiled as well.
Although Gao Yufei was arrogant, she was beautiful. Apart from being less attractive than the woman from back then, no other woman had her looks.
In addition, the northern desert is rich, so many men would probably be tempted.
Therefore, Gao Changhong is not worried that the person Gao Yufei chooses will look down on her.
After saying that, Gao Yufei began to select items herself.
Gao Yufei stood up from her seat, walked to the center of the hall, and then slowly walked over from the left side, looking at the ministers sitting there.
"What's your name? How old are you? What official position do you hold? Do you know martial arts?"
Gao Yufei asked this question to several men, but most of them were civil officials and did not know martial arts.
Gao Yufei then lost interest.
She dislikes weak, bookish people who lack martial arts skills; no matter how good-looking they are, they are useless.
She asked them one by one, and many people's expectant eyes were gradually disappointed.
When she walked up to Xiao Churen, she couldn't help but take a few more glances and brought out her usual set of questions.
When Xiao Churen said he knew a little about martial arts, Gao Yufei frowned and said, "You're good-looking, but as for your skills, may I try them? If you can withstand three of my moves, I'll marry you!"
"!!!"
Upon hearing this, many people looked at them in surprise.
"Princess, this won't do! His Highness the Prince of Chu is already engaged!"
At this moment, Grand Tutor Zhang cried out in alarm.
The King of Chu is engaged to Xiaoxiao. If this princess of the Northern Desert were to steal her away, wouldn't Xiaoxiao be furious?
Gao Yufei, however, didn't care about his words at all. Instead, she sarcastically said, "A marriage contract can be changed if we're not married yet. What's your rush? If the King of Chu can't withstand three of my moves, then I'll give up on the marriage, and he can continue to fulfill the marriage contract."
this......
Many ministers felt speechless, as if the King of Chu was a commodity being picked over.
Xiao Churen's expression was also very unpleasant. He had indeed weighed the pros and cons just now. He was somewhat tempted by the princess's family background and wealth, but he did not want to go to the Northern Desert with her.
That's why he said he knew a little about kung fu when Gao Yufei showed that she was interested in him.
He hoped to attract Gao Yufei and make her willingly stay in Daliang for him in the future.
Because the Northern Desert is extremely wealthy, and the Regent is actually the one in power there, if one can get his help, one's chances of winning will be much greater.
But Gao Yufei's words just now made him feel very unhappy, as if Gao Yufei looked down on him.
"Very well, as the princess says."
Xiao Churen said gently.
Although his kung fu wasn't as good as Xiao Ye's, he certainly wouldn't lose to a woman.
But he didn't expect that Gao Yufei was actually a master. He was defeated by her on the second move and lost in a very embarrassing way.
He fell backward and landed hard on his bottom.
“King of Chu, you may have good looks, but your body is too weak to catch my eye.”
Gao Yufei shook her head and sighed.
This King of Chu was indeed a handsome man, even more so than the King of Xiao. That's why I didn't ask King Xiao before coming directly to the King of Chu.
Xiao Churen gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, a sense of humiliation rising in his heart.
"The princess is truly remarkable, making us men feel ashamed. However, it is better for women to be more docile."
"Hmph, you're useless yourself, yet you advise us women to be docile!"
Gao Yufei snorted coldly.
Seeing that Xiao Churen had lost and had to belittle himself to save face, all the goodwill she had for him vanished.
She continued walking down.
After circling around, it finally stopped in front of Xiao Ye.
Do you know kung fu?
Gao Yufei looked at Xiao Ye with sparkling eyes.
If Xiao Churen was a handsome man, he paled in comparison to this man.
At that moment, she had no other questions; all she wanted to know was whether he knew kung fu.
If he knows kung fu, then he's the person I'm most satisfied with. If he doesn't... that's okay too, I can teach him!
Gao Yufei was surprised that the man didn't answer her questions like the others, and didn't even look up at her.
Xiao Ye's face was cold, and he said succinctly, "I am already married."
"I don't care, we can always get a divorce after we're married!"
Gao Yufei was momentarily annoyed when she heard him say he was married, but she quickly composed herself and continued.
As long as she likes it, what does it matter if she gets married?
Didn't my own father get married before?
She was taken by her mother, and now she lives a very happy life, with her and her brother.
"I will not agree to a divorce!"
Seeing that Gao Yufei was still persistent, Xiao Ye's expression turned cold, and his tone became more forceful.
"Then I'll insist that you get a divorce?"
Gao Yufei's face scrunched up, her tone displeased.
