As soon as the drugging was completed, the matter of the seventh princess' marriage was immediately put on the agenda.

This time the emperor did not threaten Liu Sheng, but mentioned intentionally or unintentionally that the seventh princess had reached the age of marriage and needed to find a husband who was both capable and wise.

Everyone knew what the emperor meant, but Liu Sheng just followed behind silently without saying a word, which made the emperor very embarrassed.

Finally, he couldn't help himself and simply called out: "Lord Liu, what do you think?"

Liu Sheng finally woke up from his dream: "The Seventh Princess is extremely beautiful and kind-hearted. She must be looking for a general who is both civil and military savvy to be her match."

"Then, my dear minister, do you think there are people with both literary and military skills in the court of Dayu?"

Liu Sheng actually thought about it seriously and said, "I have never seen it either."

"You..." The emperor was almost mad at him. Wasn't he usually very good at observing people's words and expressions?

I have talked to this point today, why doesn't he understand?

The Ninth Prince and the Prince of Xiang saw that Liu Sheng was playing dumb and playing tricks on their father, so they tried hard to hold back their laughter.

"My dear minister, you are too modest. I think you are a very good person." The emperor simply didn't keep him in suspense.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. I think that when it comes to civil and military strategy, the best in the entire Dayu is none other than His Royal Highness Prince Xiang." Liu Sheng directly put the blame on Prince Xiang.

Just as King Xiang was about to retort, he saw Liu Sheng sidelong glance at him and said, "Okay, I admit it."

"You are overpraising me, Master Liu. I am just a warrior who can only wield a sword or a gun. How can I be compared with Master Liu?"

"Your Highness is too modest. If Your Highness did not have the talent of a great general, how could you have pacified the South and commanded the three armies?"

"Master Liu is a great talent."

"Your Highness is still very talented."

Section 231

The two of them were so humble and evasive that the emperor was confused.

Are we discussing who is more powerful now?

Didn’t we start by discussing finding a consort for the Seventh Princess?

Just when the emperor looked at a loss, Liu Sheng took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, the envoys from the grassland are coming to Beijing today, and I have to go out of the city to welcome them. If Your Majesty has nothing else to do, I will take my leave first."

The emperor wanted to say something, but Prince Xiang immediately said, "Father, I have recently obtained a few fine horses. I think you like horses, why don't you go with me to have a look?"

"Brother, do you have a good horse? I wonder if you can take me with you." The Ninth Prince also came out to interrupt.

"If my ninth brother likes it, then we can go together."

As the two brothers spoke, they pulled the emperor out, one on the left and one on the right.

The emperor was confused by them. No, I haven't finished yet.

The three of them interrupted and the marriage was dropped.

However, the emperor was very satisfied with the horses sent by Prince Xiang. These were all top-grade horses he brought back from the south. Even the emperor rarely saw them.

So he became very excited and wanted to race horses with the two brothers.

The result is predictable. Prince Xiang rode away in a hurry, leaving the Emperor and the Ninth Prince with resentful looks on their faces.

"Brother, it's fine if you don't give in to me, but you don't even give in to our father." The Ninth Prince said to him in a frustrated tone.

King Xiang smiled cheerfully and said, "When I was a child, I rode a horse, but my father never let me go."

The emperor couldn't help laughing when he recalled the scene when Prince Xiang insisted on competing with him in riding and archery when they were little and Prince Xiang made him cry because of him.

Patting the King on the shoulder, he said: "Well, you have grown up. You are no longer the little kid who needs your father's protection."

Prince Xiang took the reins from the emperor and led the horse over: "Father, you have always protected me before, but from now on I will protect you."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and examined his expression very seriously, and found that there was no ambition or competitiveness on his face, only the love of a son for his father.

The emperor smiled and grabbed his arm: "Okay."

In his previous life, Prince Xiang was eccentric and cruel just to prove to his father that he was no worse than anyone else.

But after fighting and vying for everything, he ended up becoming an orphan without a father or a mother.

In this life, he first let down all his guard, removed the thorns on his body, and easily got closer to his father.

It is not difficult for a father to be kind and a son to be filial. Why was he so stubborn before?

Ye Qingwan was chewing a pear and thinking. The heroine's character had collapsed so much this time, she would definitely not kill the Seventh Princess.

Then she had to find a way to make the Seventh Princess fall in love with someone else.

"Wanwan, what are you thinking about?" Ning Qingqing jumped in from the window, sat down on the table carelessly, picked up a pear, wiped it on her clothes, and started eating it.

"Qingqing, what kind of man do you think a pampered princess would like?"

Without waiting for Ning Qingqing to answer, Ning Shaoqing sat over, grabbed Ye Qingwan's hand, pulled the pear over, and took a big bite.

Then she puffed her cheeks and said, "A pure and delicate little princess naturally likes a brave and chivalrous young man. Is there any need to think about it?"

Isn't that how the storybooks are written?

Ye Qingwan was stunned for a moment. It made sense. As a princess, what kind of noble young men with both literary and martial skills, and both talent and appearance have she not seen? She was probably immune to them.

But those unruly, unbridled and carefree people are definitely rare.

"But where can I find such a brave and chivalrous young man?"

As soon as Ye Qingwan finished speaking, she suddenly looked at Ning Qingqing and silently focused her gaze on him.

Ning Shaoqing noticed their gazes and crossed his arms over his chest: "What do you want to do? I sell my art but not my body."

Phew.

"I didn't ask you to seduce her. You just put on a mask and act like a hero to save the beauty. Let her see the heroic spirit of a chivalrous young man and fall deeply in love with him from then on. That'll be all."

From now on, I guarantee that the Seventh Princess will look down on anyone except the young knight in the martial arts world.

Ning Shaoqing was a little unhappy, but when he heard that he didn't have to show his face, he nodded reluctantly: "It's agreed, this is just this once, it won't happen again."

Ye Qingwan nodded with a smile: "Honghong is the best."

As they talked, they began to arrange the scene of a hero saving a beauty. First, Ning Qingqing dressed up as a villain and pretended to bully the seventh princess. Then Ning Shaoqing saw the injustice and drew his sword to help.

Perfect.

"I... helped you a lot, why don't you reward me?" Ning Shaoqing looked at her expectantly.

Ye Qingwan was prepared and took out a candied haws and handed it over: "The first candied haws of the winter, this is the deposit, after the deal is done, you can have as many as you want."

Ning Shaoqing looked disgusted and asked, "Who wants a candied haws?"

"So what do you want?"

He put his chubby face forward and said, "Kiss me, kiss me and I'll go."

Ye Qingwan:? ?

Qingqing, you have changed.

You've become stupid. How can a kiss smell as good as a candied haws?

Ye Qingwan didn't think twice, she held his face and kissed him hard, wishing she could kiss his face until it was swollen.

And I saved a candied haws.

Ning Qingqing saw it, her expression was a little solemn, after thinking for a while, she moved closer and pointed at her cheek and said: "I, I helped you too."

Ye Qingwan was stunned for a moment, then leaned over and gave it a smack.

Then he burst into laughter.

I made a lot of money today. Not only did I get the job done, but I also kissed a handsome guy and a beautiful girl for free.

Good luck, good luck to us...
