The Huo family of Shu County was a noble family in Yizhou. In the closed environment of Yizhou, it was difficult for foreign enemies to enter, and the Yizhou plain was prosperous.
Political rights are even more difficult to replace.
The so-called century-old dynasty and thousand-year-old family are just like this. Then the Huo family is one of the real masters of Yizhou, and even the Dagan court does not have a deep control over them.
Xue Xuexuan now understood what he meant when he said that he was ready and asked her not to worry.
Seeing a familiar person here, Xue Xuexuan felt relieved, and the depression that had been weighing on her heart was relieved.
He even became a little more confident, with a smile on his face.
Xue Da also felt the change in his daughter's aura. He looked at Zhao Que for a second longer, but couldn't figure out what was so special about this man.
Uh, is it particularly weak?
"I am worried that Your Majesty is worried about me. Thanks to the royal medicine baths and the herbs Your Majesty gave me, I am now much healthier."
Zhao Quelian thanked the Emperor Dagan.
Seeing His Majesty walking forward, he nodded slightly at Xue Xuexuan, then stretched out his index finger and waved it, indicating not to stretch it out.
Xue Xuexuan also rolled her eyes at Zhao Que and nodded slightly.
The Emperor, who now sat in the main seat, briefly introduced the crowd.
"Haha, you young people have your own topics, I won't get involved.
I am going to play chess with the Duke of Zhenguo. You young people, get to know each other and don't be restrained.
If the Duke of Zhenguo comes to me again, I'm afraid you will be speechless.
Boss, just keep an eye on it and don't let anything happen."
After saying this, the two of them withdrew from the banquet after the eldest prince accepted the order.
He did not preside here all the time, but left the time to the princes and Princess Shangyang.
The other princes, no longer suppressed, looked at each other and then at the eldest prince.
It seemed that the eldest prince had nothing to say and sat quietly aside.
With such an opportunity, naturally some people want to be the first to try it out.
The fifth prince Zhao Yi stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked towards Xue Xuexuan.
"Greetings, Princess. My name is Zhao Yi, and I am also a disciple of the Tianyu Sect.
I have long heard that the princess's swordsmanship is as good as a god, and I have admired her for a long time, so I specially asked Bai Xiaosheng for his comments on the princess.
If there's a chance, we can discuss swordsmanship privately and learn from each other."
Xue Xuexuan was lost in thought, and was somewhat shocked and surprised when she learned Zhao Que's identity.
Hearing someone interrupt her, she frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes gleaming as she stared at the Fifth Prince and said:
"My sword is not for fighting and winning.
It's about protecting those you want to protect and fighting for those who can't fight. There's no need for sparring.
I have also heard of Bai Xiaosheng, but he only commented on the heroes of the world.
I have never done anything great, so I cannot deserve any comments.
They are just some far-fetched compliments that anyone can say, so what's the point of looking at them?
By doing this, does the Fifth Prince want me to be laughed at by the world?"
Uh... these words made the Fifth Prince feel a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that Princess Shangyang would not give him even a little bit of face.
He originally thought that he was the most talented and the most suitable for Princess Shangyang.
I didn't expect to be rejected like this. It's a bit hard to accept.
I couldn't help but speak again:
“In the martial arts world, one only strives to be number one.
I am not talented, but I have the potential to become the best in the world. Among all the princes, I think I am the most suitable for the princess.
I hope you can consider it, my lady. We can study it together and maybe it will be possible..."
Perhaps it was because the guards and masters given to him by the Tianyu Sect were all people from the martial arts world, and over a long period of time, he naturally developed this habit.
He respected martial arts and was proud of his martial arts, but he forgot that he was the prince of Dagan.
"I was a citizen of Dagan first, and then a warrior." Xue Xuexuan refused. This fifth prince was too self-conscious.
He thought that the cultivation and martial arts that he valued were the most important.
But what they don’t know is that in the martial arts world, the most important thing is chivalry, not strength.
The Tianyu Sect itself knew that although it was one of the three sects and five schools, it had recently lost the support of the people.
The Fifth Prince, Zhao Yi, who was interrupted, remained unconvinced and wanted to speak again, but his innate aura began to leak out...
Or maybe Xue Xuexuan's opinion on Wu was different from his, so she naturally wanted to argue with him again.
"Enough...Fifth brother, don't lose your composure." Seeing that the Fifth Prince seemed to be clinging to him, the eldest prince hurriedly tried to persuade him.
The fifth prince was interrupted and reacted quickly, but he did not lose his last bit of rationality and restrained his momentum.
A hint of gloom flashed in his eyes as he stared at the eldest prince and Xue Xuexuan.
He sat back in his seat and said nothing more.
Seeing the confident fifth prince return in defeat, the other princes didn't know what to say, but the twelfth prince didn't seem to feel any pressure.
The fat body stood up with difficulty, and then said: "I am the Twelfth Prince, and this is the glazed gold hairpin I was looking for.
Seeing that the princess has never had a good hairpin, I hope the princess will not refuse this as a gift for our first meeting.
If you have the chance, you can come to my house and have a chat."
"Thank you, Your Highness, but I don't like to play with these things in the past. I'm sorry that Your Highness spent so much money." Xue Xuexuan touched her wooden hairpin and explained:
"This wooden hairpin was given to me by an old friend, and I don't want to replace it."
The rejected Twelfth Prince didn't do anything, he just sat back down.
And the remaining princes seemed to be wondering what their Majesty was thinking?
What did Xue Xuexuan mean by that? An old friend? Did she mean she had a crush on someone?
If that's the case, what's the point of her coming here?
After all, seeing such a situation, the Fourth Prince moved his body and prepared to step forward and say a few words.
But the tenth prince stood up first. It had been too long since he was beaten, so naturally he could not recognize Xue Xuexuan.
"Hello, Princess. I have admired you for a long time, but I still hope you can give me a chance.
I know that I am not as talented or well-born as the other princes.
But I am sincere in my heart. If I can marry the princess, I will never take a concubine in my life.
The seas will dry up and the rocks will crumble, as can the sun and the moon."
Among all the princes, the tenth prince knew that he had no advantage.
No matter what Your Majesty thinks, I actually have no other choice.
If he wanted to make a difference, he could only be tied to the chariot of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. No matter what happened in the future, this was his only chance.
And these words, of course, were not about taking a concubine, but a promise.
If I were in power, I would make a promise to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Even if the foreign relatives interfered in politics and the harem seized power, that would be a matter for the future.
Xue Xuexuan looked at the Tenth Prince seriously. He seemed familiar. It took her a lot of effort to remember some interesting things from her youth.
