He Yunxiao opened his eyes wide.
Holy crap? Are they serious?
Unlike other young men in Qi, He Yunxiao, who had experienced free love in his previous life but still didn't have a girlfriend, now increasingly appreciates the value of arranged marriages.
He really wanted to tell his aunt right now: It doesn't matter whose daughter she is, just find the prettiest one.
But no, with the Soul-Devouring Pill, I might not even survive a year. Finding a wife now would just be a burden to other girls.
He Yunxiao couldn't do something like that.
He thought for a moment, then suddenly thought of Yang Zhe, and then of Princess Meng Qingqian. If we were to talk about who in the entire Qi Kingdom was least likely to get married, it would undoubtedly be Princess Meng Qingqian.
He Yunxiao then smiled broadly and said, "How about the Eldest Princess? I don't think much of anyone else anyway."
Zhang Jingxian was startled.
He Yunxiao, who was lying on the bed, clearly felt that his aunt's hand trembled slightly when she applied the medicine.
But what surprised He Yunxiao the most was that his aunt did not refuse outright!
She said, "Have you ever seen what the eldest princess looks like? What if she's not pretty?"
He Yunxiao thought to himself: Meng Qingqian is the female lead! How could she not be good-looking?
However, he wouldn't dare say that out loud.
“I saw him once from afar when I went to the palace before. I didn’t see his face clearly, but his figure was indeed quite good.”
Zhang Jingchu said, "You mustn't speak so freely about the Meng family in front of others."
He Yunxiao chuckled and said, "I know, Auntie is no 'other person'."
Zhang Jingchu smiled and applied the last bit of ointment to the bruises on He Yunxiao's body.
“We are a marquis’ family, and your father has a large army. It’s not impossible for you to marry a princess.”
He Yunxiao: ? ? ?
As if realizing he had misheard, He Yunxiao asked again, "Auntie, what did you say?"
Zhang Jingxian stood up, her voluptuous figure silhouetted beautifully under the light.
"Auntie, you should go to the palace another day and ask. The Princess is not young anymore. What family's daughter doesn't want to get married?"
Before He Yunxiao could confirm, Zhang Jingxian told him to get some sleep and then left.
It was late at night, but the lights in He Yuanhao's courtyard were still on.
Zhang Jingxian pushed open the door and entered. He Yuanhao, dressed neatly, was sitting at the table drinking tea.
"Master, aren't you going to sleep yet? There's an early court session tomorrow."
He Yuanhao sipped his tea and said, "I'm not sleepy."
Zhang Jingxian knew he was worried about his son, but she didn't say anything. She only said, "Xiao'er seems to be much stronger than before. This time when I applied the medicine to him, he didn't even groan."
He Yuanhao didn't say anything, but took a few more sips of tea.
Zhang Jingxian said, "Master, Xiao'er said he wants to get married."
"Um."
"He said he wanted to marry the eldest princess."
"puff!"
"Oh dear!" Zhang Jingxian exclaimed and quickly found a handkerchief to wipe the water off He Yuanhao.
"This kid's still asking for trouble!"
“Master! We are a prestigious noble family. Marquis’s marriage to a princess is not considered a marriage of descent for her.”
"Is this a matter of marrying down? Your Highness is busy with countless affairs of state. How can you just marry like that? Unless the emperor is in power, the eldest princess will never marry."
Zhang Jingxian said anxiously, "Master, you're confused. The late emperor had more than one daughter. If Princess Xiaoyue can't marry, can't Princess Nanzhu marry?"
He Yuanhao thought about it and realized that Princess Nanzhu was indeed not very famous. If Zhang Jingxian hadn't mentioned her, even he wouldn't have remembered that there was such a person.
He Yuanhao said, "If it's a South Sea pearl, then it's certainly possible, but... are you sure that kid is talking about South Sea pearls?"
Zhang Jingxian said, "Don't you understand what kind of person Xiao'er is? Nanzhu is a little weak and can't stand the cold wind. But in terms of beauty, she is in no way inferior to her elder sister Xiaoyue. Both of them are princesses, so what's wrong with that?"
He Yuanhao hesitated and said, "Then why don't you take some time to go into the palace and sound out the Empress Dowager's opinion?"
With a weight lifted from her heart, Zhang Jingxian smiled and agreed.
At this moment, He Yunxiao, still asleep, was unaware that his engagement was about to be arranged.
