Although he had reached the age to have a concubine, he never did so because he wanted to find a woman who could help him.
I'd long heard that the Grand Marshal had five unmarried daughters, and later heard about the extraordinary performances of several of them at Wanshou Temple. Seeing Murong Xiao today, although I liked her very much, I felt that this woman was too noble, and with so many people vying for her, there was no chance for him.
Although the second lady Murong Yan is not as beautiful as Murong Xiao, her temperament is very similar to Murong Xiao. I guess such a woman would be difficult to control. Of the remaining three, the fourth lady Murong Xue is the most beautiful, and she doesn't look as imposing, so she is the one!
Qian Ye Ze ignored what Duan Fei said, and did not even look at his uncle's clenched fists that were almost white, and knelt down to ask for permission.
"Your Majesty, I'm not joking. Just now, when the daughters of the Murong family entered the hall, I fell in love with the fourth daughter, Murong Xue. I haven't appointed a principal wife yet, but to show my sincerity, I am willing to marry Murong Xue. I beg Your Majesty to grant this marriage!"
Qian Yeze's words made Murong Xue's cheeks flush, revealing the shyness of a little girl. It was obvious that she had not expected that she could surpass Murong Yan and Murong Meng to win the favor of the Fourth Prince.
"Your Majesty." At this time, Concubine Duan had stood up from her seat and walked to the emperor's side. She humbly lifted Qian Yeying's yellow robe, hoping that he could forgive Qian Yeze's ignorance.
Unfortunately, looking at his son who was blinded by greed in the hall, Qian Yeying pulled his sleeve out of Concubine Duan's hand. Without even looking at Concubine Duan, he said with a smile:
"Lord Murong, I have only five sons, three of whom have yet to secure a consort. Two of them have already set their sights on your daughters. It seems your daughters are quite popular!"
Murong Qingyu ignored the emperor's grin, which was practically teeth-gritting. With a pig-like expression, he bowed at a 90-degree angle and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. It is my great honor to be favored by your son!"
After saying this, he turned to Murong Xue, who was sitting beside him with a blushing face, and said, "Xue'er, why don't you come over here and thank the emperor for his grace!"
Murong Xue immediately stood up from her seat with great joy, walked over to Murong Qingyu, knelt on both knees, and said excitedly, "Xue'er thanks the emperor for his great grace!"
The emperor looked at Murong Xiao who was standing upright in front of him, and then looked at Murong Xue who immediately knelt down when she heard that the marriage was going to be granted. He felt strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange.
She only thought that her younger sister was much less virtuous than her older sister, and her emotions were easily revealed. Even if a woman like this followed Qian Yeze, it would be of no use.
Glancing disdainfully at the radiant Qian Yeze, the Emperor then turned his gaze to the 17-year-old Fifth Prince Qian Yeli, who also hadn't yet secured a consort, and asked, "Do you also want your father to arrange a marriage for you?"
Many people did not notice the emperor's words, only Qian Yeming, Murong Xiao and Duan Fei noticed that when the emperor spoke to Qian Yeli, he did not use "I" but "Father".
Qian Yeli lived up to the emperor's expectations. Without even glancing at his mother who was sitting on the high platform, he clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your kindness, father. However, I am still young and have no plans to take you as my consort for the time being. When I am older, I will leave everything to you, father."
The emperor nodded in satisfaction, very happy with his answer, and said, "In that case, father will not arrange a marriage for you today."
