However, the Tenth Prince did not have enough information and intelligence, so he could not see these things and felt confused and impulsive.
His face was filled with resentment when he saw Zhao Que and Xue Xuexuan holding hands and exchanging glances.
His hands were clenched tightly and his face was flushed, like a wild dog that had lost everything.
But he still wanted to do something, but he hadn't made a move yet.
The eldest prince, however, saw through the movements of the man in front of him. The eldest prince was in his thirties, and had incorporated Confucianism into martial arts, and had long since reached the master level.
He stepped forward, grabbed his wrist, and whispered, "Tenth brother, this is the princess's choice."
The tenth prince naturally had no way to resist the eldest prince, no matter his status or martial arts.
The words that had not yet been spoken could only be held in the throat, and he turned his head and said: "Adulterer and adulteress..."
The sound was not loud, but it was indeed heard.
Since there were sounds, most of the people at the banquet had cultivation skills.
There are even quite a few innately strong ones, but it is enough for most people to hear.
Xue Xuexuan raised her eyebrows and looked coldly at the Tenth Prince in front of her.
Although Zhao Que's expression did not change, he was hiding murderous intent.
This person could not be kept, and a plan came into his mind.
At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor and the Duke of Zhenguo, who were hiding in the distance, happened to be there and returned to the banquet.
Even though he was not present, he knew every move that took place at the banquet.
However, Xue Da looked at Zhao Que, chosen by Xue Xuexuan, with deep eyes.
He naturally figured out the reason behind all this, which was that his daughter had chosen a useless prince for her lover.
But he looked at Emperor Dagan with a complicated expression, somewhat puzzled.
Could it be that His Majesty, in that earlier remark, was giving himself a choice, sacrificing his own son's happiness for it?
What a cruel heart, Xue Da originally thought so, but suddenly realized that he also sacrificed his daughter's happiness in exchange for the stability of the country.
Compared to him, how much better can you be?
Xue Da's puzzled look made Emperor Dagan frown slightly.
The other princes did not know the relationship between Xue Xuexuan and Zhao Que, but he knew it very well.
How could Zhao Que and Xue Xuexuan not have secret guards protecting them when they were young? He had known about their relationship for a long time.
That's why he was so sure that Xue Xuexuan would choose Zhao Que.
He thought Xue Da also knew it, after all, he was the Duke of Zhenguo.
He just needs to pay a little attention to his daughter and it will not be difficult to get the answer.
Everyone has different ideas, and Xue Da couldn't just ask directly, otherwise it would just be a strange misunderstanding.
"Sixth brother, you can treat the princess well in the future." Emperor Dagan suggested, and then had a brief discussion with Xue Da.
"Then it's decided. We'll get engaged in March and get married a year later."
Given their identities, they naturally cannot rush into anything, so they need some time to prepare.
"Everything will be arranged by father/your Majesty." Zhao Que and Xue Xuexuan thanked him together.
Emperor Dagan nodded, very satisfied with the result, but at this moment he looked at the princes.
His eyes focused on the Fourth and Fifth Princes, and he said with a hint of meaning:
"Some things are like this. If it's yours, it's yours. If it's not yours, you can't steal it."
The Emperor's words naturally referred to the rumor that had recently appeared in the capital, that is, the person who married Xue Xuexuan could become the crown prince.
However, judging from the current performance, it is not designated by His Majesty.
Instead, it was Xue Xuexuan who chose the Sixth Prince, who had no chance.
This rumor was naturally debunked, but the fourth and fifth princes, who acted rather aggressively, caught the attention of His Majesty.
"Your son is terrified." Several princes who had taken action knelt on the ground and did not dare to explain.
"Today is a family dinner and there is a happy event. I won't argue with you and hope you will take care of yourself.
"Learn more from Old Eight, share more of the worries of the court, and don't dwell on things you shouldn't think about." His Majesty the Emperor snorted coldly, but mentioned the Eighth Prince Zhao Li in his words.
If these words were to be spread to the outside world, the Eighth Prince would likely be the most popular candidate for the Crown Prince.
It seemed that both the host and the guests had a great time at this banquet.
--------------
At this moment in Zhao Que's house, Xue Xuexuan changed back into the white dress, and the breeze blew the corners of her clothes.
She was wearing a long sword and her long hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin.
On the stone table in the yard, he was playing chess with Zhao Que.
While playing, he regretted his move, lowering his brows as if thinking about something: "You can't play like this. If you play like this, my bench formation won't be formed."
"....." Zhao Que rolled his eyes. Is there so much drama in playing Gobang?
"Forget it, let's just leave it at that for now. I won't play anymore." Xue Xuexuan looked at Zhao Que's chess pieces that had been connected into four and waved her hand.
He immediately changed the subject: "You deceived me so badly, you are actually a prince?"
Zhao Que shrugged. "I was going to tell you, but you seemed to refuse. You can't blame me."
"Oh, that's because I'm afraid you're the son of some wealthy family, and I'll feel psychological pressure to take you away from marriage.
Now it's all right, I don't have to run away from the marriage." Xue Xuexuan, who had been lying on the chessboard, messing it up, suddenly straightened up.
A pair of beautiful eyes stared at Zhao Que, with a charming smile on the corner of her mouth, and she asked softly: "What else did you lie to me about?"
"It's not really a lie. At most, no one else knows about it." Zhao Que said, and suddenly stepped forward and took hold of Xue Xuexuan's wrist.
Xue Xuexuan suddenly felt a warmth, but did not resist. This feeling was so familiar.
However, a stream of true energy suddenly appeared from Zhao Que's body.
That true energy was so stable and powerful, even comparable to his own true energy.
Innate Qi...
"You?" Xue Xuexuan's eyes lit up and she looked at Zhao Que's body in surprise.
Naturally, she wouldn't be angry just because Zhao Que had achieved some cultivation or had deceived her.
But he was happy for Zhao Que, at least he had the innate talent.
Then you will be immune to cold and heat, and the five poisons, and your health will be fine.
"Shh, not many people know about this right now, even he doesn't know." Zhao Que stretched out a finger to block Xue Xuexuan's mouth.
The person Zhao Que was talking about was naturally His Majesty the Great Gan.
Xue Xuexuan also nodded, but her right hand touched the long sword, her eyes changed from surprise to determination: "Brother Que, do you have any ideas about that position?
No matter what, I'm with you."
Seeing Xue Xuexuan's reaction, Zhao Que also stood up.
He ruffled her cascading hair, the silky touch sliding through his fingers.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. If there's anything I need your help with, I'll be happy to help you."
Xue Xuexuan nodded. The two of them had been together for a long time and knew each other very well.
Zhao Que's words, not rejecting them, meant he agreed.
