The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 653
"Your Majesty, I have a daughter in my family. It has been twenty-eight years. Today, I would like to take this opportunity to ask Your Majesty for a favor. I want His Majesty to choose a good son-in-law for my beloved daughter." During the banquet, an elderly The minister stood up and made the first move.

"Oh? I don't know which family's talent in Chang'an City did Aiqing take a fancy to? But the Jinshi who performed outstandingly in Chunwei this time? Let me hear it. If it is suitable, I will naturally be happy to be beautiful as an adult." His Majesty Li Er's face was ruddy, and his face was full of spring breeze. laughed.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the talent that the minister's daughter is looking for is the Marquis of Dongshan, who has been in the limelight recently in Chang'an City, and please Your Majesty to call the shots." The old courtier responded with cupped hands.

"What?!" Xuan Shijing was also surprised when he heard that person said that he had fallen in love with him, he didn't seem to know this person, right?As soon as he came up, he called his name and wanted to marry his daughter to him. What was going on in this old man's mind.

"Look, what this king said is indeed true. Fortunately, Xiao Jing, you don't know it. Now you, I am afraid, have become a favorite in the eyes of those ministers whose daughters are not yet married." Li Tai from the side joked.

"It's so reckless to give your daughter to someone you don't know as a wife so easily, what is that?" A sarcasm flashed across Xuan Shijing's face, what is it?Huh, deal?
Hearing Xuan Shijing's sarcasm, Li Tai still looked as usual. This kind of thing is not new in Chang'an. It is not the first time or the last time when Xuan Shijing comes here. Don't look at so many ministers in the court. Sometimes you can argue and fight over one thing, but if you count your fingers in private, no matter whether they are close or not close, you can always count, and they are all related to each other. Distant relatives, whoever's eldest son took whoever's daughter, and later, the relationship was like a spider's web.

When the minister's words fell, not only Xuan Shijing was surprised, but even some generals who had a good relationship with the Dongshan Houfu were a little bit surprised. It is said that even if Xuan Shijing is going to get married now, this person is not in your family's turn. Daughter, especially the Qin family and the Cheng family, but Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin also know something about Xuan Shijing in their hearts. If there is no Princess Jinyang, maybe Cheng Yaojin can still consider giving Xuan Shijing from the Cheng family. Jing chooses a suitable candidate as the main wife. Even if it is not the main wife, it is okay to be a concubine, but it is a pity that a Jinyang princess came out halfway, so that Lao Cheng also gave up this idea and offered a concubine to the future concubine. This matter, isn't this an inconvenience to His Majesty Li Er.

Not only Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin, but also His Majesty Li Er on the seat, the smiles slowly froze on their faces, and for a while, they were speechless.

After the minister finished speaking, he only felt the surroundings were silent, followed by the whispers of people around him, but he didn't hear His Majesty's words, so he couldn't help but secretly raised his head to look at His Majesty Li Er who was sitting on the seat.

Speaking of which, this minister has his own considerations for liking Xuan Shijing. His position in the court can be regarded as a bit embarrassing. Unfortunately, he is working in Yushitai, and he is in this position. In fact, it is the easiest to offend people, but the family background is not like those big families. It is difficult for outsiders to understand the hardships of gaining a foothold in the court these years. It just so happens that the daughter of the family has turned 16 this year and has also reached the age of leaving the court. Looking at Chang'an, there are quite a few official sons and daughters, but there are very few promising and unmarried ones.

Therefore, the eyes naturally fell on Xuan Shijing, who was young and promising, and was in control of the Shenhou Mansion at a young age. He was young and deeply favored by His Majesty, and had a good relationship with several princes. The relationship between the Qin family, the Cheng family, and the Chai family is even worse. This is simply a god-given good son-in-law, so he took this opportunity to bring this matter up.

But it seems that there is something wrong with His Majesty's expression.

The minister glanced at His Majesty Li Er's expression, then quickly lowered his head, a trace of cold sweat could not help but ooze from his forehead.

From the corner of his eyes, he looked towards a group of court ministers, but he saw Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao and Li Xiaogong's expressions that looked like smiles but not smiles.

Could it be that these people can't compete with me?But the daughters of these people's families are not suitable candidates for the boudoir.

His Majesty Li Er squinted his eyes at the minister, thinking in his heart, now that Xuan Shijing has been noticed by others, should he make a good plan for Sizi, even though Sizi is still young, But you can settle the matter first, wait until Sizi is sixteen, and then hold the wedding, and save Sizi's sweetheart from being missed.

Thinking in this way in his mind, His Majesty Li Er's eyes fell on Xuan Shijing, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear: Boy, you should think about this issue carefully.

"Jing'er, what do you think?" His Majesty Li Er looked at Xuan Shijing and asked.

Now Xuan Shijing had to stand up, Xuan Shijing put down his wine glass, and said with a smile: "Returning to your majesty, I feel that I am still young, and there is no need to worry about marriage. Your Majesty also knows that I will return to Chang'an." In less than half a year, the Marquis Mansion was just a waste of time, and now there is a new Marquis Mansion that needs to be managed by a small minister, and now, there is really no extra energy to think about other things."

After a few words, it was clear that he rejected the adult's kindness, but it seemed that someone didn't want Xuan Shijing to shirk it so quickly.

"Xuan Hou's words are wrong."

Xuan Shijing looked at the source of the voice, and couldn't help but frowned slightly, the Zheng family?
"I don't know what opinion Mr. Zheng has?" Xuan Shijing casually cupped his hands at Mr. Zheng. There is no need for Xuan Shijing to be too polite to this kind of person who is clearly looking for fault.

"Xuanhou is young and promising now, but as the saying goes, getting a family and starting a business is also the first priority. Now Xuanhou says that he is too busy with business, and he just needs a good wife to help Xuanhou fight. Housekeeping, right? I have heard about this daughter of Mr. Fang’s family. Whether it is in terms of appearance or character, he is the best choice. She is a virtuous housemate." Mr. Zheng said while stroking his beard with a smile on his face.

"The daughter of the Fang family is good, but this Marquis has never met this daughter. This Marquis is not in the habit of marrying a stranger, so here, I can only say sorry to Mr. Fang." Xuan Shi Jing bowed to Master Fang with guilt on his face. Although he refused, it gave Master Fang enough face, so that he would not offend him.

"Jing'er, you refuse like this, but you have a sweetheart?" Li Er Majesty looked at Xuan Shijing with a smile and asked.
