The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

In Xingde Palace, Zhao Yao looked at the list in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Tong Xi stood aside and saw Zhao Yao staring at the list without saying a word for a long time. He felt strange in his heart. He hesitated and asked: "Your Highness, is there anything wrong with this list? Why did you not say a word after looking at it for a long time?"

Zhao Yao put his hand on his forehead, sighed slightly and said, "Oh, I didn't expect that there would be so many women with hairpins in two years."

"Your Highness, there are so many ministers in the court, and they must also have many daughters. Isn't it strange?"

Zhao Yao tapped the list with his fingers, frowned and said, "Which family is it?" There were many families on the list who met the requirements, but he looked around and couldn't tell which family would be his future father-in-law's family. "Tongxi, which one do you think is the best?"

Tongxi glanced at the list and quickly shook his head: "I don't know."

"Which one do you think my father will choose for me?"

Tongxi thought about it seriously and said, "I think it's He Xiang's family."

On this list, the first one is He Xiangjia.

"Why do you think it's He Xiangjia?" Zhao Yao was shocked by Tongxi's answer, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Tong Xi thought very simply and said matter-of-factly: "How powerful is He Xiang?"

Zhao Yao pointed at himself, "Do you think your Highness is worthy?"

"Your Highness, why are you not worthy? You are a prince, and you will be a prince in a short time. You are a rich man, but the girl from He Xiang's family is not worthy of you." Tong Xi didn't like hearing what Zhao Yao said about him, "Besides, , Your Highness, you are so powerful, in my heart, no girl in the world is worthy of you."

"What is the identity of He Xiang? How could my father let his girl marry me?" Zhao Yao didn't really feel that he was not worthy of the girl from He Xiang's family, but thought that He Xiang's identity was too special. After all, He Xiang He is the emperor's confidant.Furthermore, the deposed prince and acting king wanted to marry a girl from He Xiang's family, but the emperor did not agree.Everyone agreed that the emperor would not let the princes marry the daughters of He Xiang, Taishi Liu, or the four generals. "Besides, I have always been an unpopular prince, with no power and no money. What qualifications do I have to marry a girl from the prime minister's family?"

"Your Highness, the Emperor loves you so much. Maybe he will marry the girl from He Xiang's family to you."

"No, my father will not marry a girl from He Xiang's family to me." Zhao Yao said very firmly, "If my father marries a daughter from He Xiang's family to me, it will be like setting me on fire. Roast."

"Your Highness, you have gone to Lingnan. Even if I give you the girl from He Xiang's family, it will be nothing." Although Tong Xi felt that no girl in the world was worthy of His Highness, in this list, only He Xiang The girl at home is barely worthy of His Highness.

"It's impossible for He Xiang and Liu Taishi's family."

Tong Xi heard what Zhao Yao said so confidently and said nothing more.

"I originally thought that my father would betroth a girl from the Li family to me, but I didn't expect that there was no girl from the Li family on this list." The girl from the Li family is one year younger than Zhao Yao, and she turned hairpin last month.

"Yes, the girl from the Li family is pretty good too. Why doesn't the emperor grant you a marriage to the girl from the Li family?" Tong Xi asked with confusion on his face, "Besides, you have a good relationship with His Highness the King of Chu. My marriage to you is just and legitimate, and the ministers will not say anything, let alone be suspicious of you."

"Yes, but my father didn't. It's really strange." Zhao Yao thought that his future princess was a girl from the Li family, so he could openly ask the Li family for help, such as getting more books from the Li family, and then get some help from the Li family. The family arranged for some teachers to go to Lingnan.Unexpectedly, his father did not marry the girl from the Li family to him, so all his plans came to nothing.

"Your Highness, having said that, except for He Xiang and Taishi Liu's family, the other families are very average and not worthy of you at all." Most of the families on the list are fourth or fifth grade or fifth or sixth grade, and none of them hold important positions.

"That's good." Zhao Yao was very satisfied with these "low" officials. "If my father really chooses one of these people to be my future family-in-law, that would be really good for me."

"But I feel that I have wronged you too much."

"What's wrong with this?" Zhao Yao smiled, "I think it's good."

"Your Highness, this is your princess, can't you fall in love with her?" Tong Xi was speechless when he saw that Zhao Yao didn't care about the origin of his future princess.

Zhao Yao put away the list and said to Tong Xi: "For your Highness and me, the background of the future princess is not important, as long as she has a good temper."

"What if the future princess has a bad temper?"

"Then change it." Zhao Yao stood up and raised his hand to pat Tong Xi on the shoulder, "Your Highness, I went to Lingnan. I have a lot of things waiting to be done. I have no time or energy to waste on my daughter's love. superior."

"Your Highness, you are not enlightened." Other highnesses had maids who were married to each other when they were eleven or twelve years old, but His Highness did not have a maid to serve him, let alone a maid to serve him.

"Your Highness, it's not that I don't understand, it's just that I don't have this ambition."

"When you get married, you will know how good a woman is, and you will definitely like her then."

Zhao Yao raised his foot and kicked Tong Xi's butt, and cursed angrily: "Fuck you, Your Highness, I am not a lecherous person."

"If you say that now, if your future princess is very beautiful, you won't say that then." In Tongxi's view, men are lustful and will not dislike beautiful girls.

"Speaking of pretty, do you think Myna is pretty?"

Tongxi nodded without hesitation: "It's beautiful."

"Then do you think there is anyone in this world who is more handsome than Myna?"

"This..." Tongxi thought for a while and said, "I think it is unlikely that there is anyone better looking than His Highness the King of Wei."

"I face Bago's stunning face every day. Do you think I will be tempted by a woman who is not as good-looking as Bago in the future?"

"That's true." Tong Xi had just finished speaking when he suddenly thought that His Highness the King of Wei only had one concubine, no concubine, and no maid, and a strange look appeared on his face. "Your Highness, Your Highness King Wei will not have only one woman, Princess Wei, just because he is good-looking."

When Zhao Yao heard this, he also thought that there was indeed only one mistress in King Wei's palace, Princess Wei. He also thought that King Wei had always been indifferent to Princess Wei, and King Wei and Princess Wei still had no children.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhao Yao raised his hand and slapped Tong Xi on the back of the head, and said angrily, "Bago is so focused on his career that he doesn't have time to spend time with his children."

"Too."

"Hurry up and serve your Highness while I wash and change clothes."

"Yes, Your Highness."

At this time, in the palace of King Wei, King Wei was dealing with important matters in the study.Knock knock knock knock... There was a knock on the door, and then the gentle voice of Prince Wei's Mansion sounded.

"Your Highness, it's me."

King Wei frowned, and then said in an indifferent tone: "Come in."

Princess Wei walked in carrying a food box, "Your Highness, this is the midnight snack I asked the kitchen to make for you."

King Wei said without raising his head: "You put it aside for now, I will eat it later."

Princess Wei looked at King Wei and wanted to say something, but she was shy and did not speak.

Seeing that Princess Wei had not left, King Wei finally raised his head from the book and looked at her.

"Do you have anything else?"

Princess Wei blushed slightly, with a hint of shyness in her eyes.She bit her lip and said, "Your Highness, it's getting late, you..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by King Wei: "I'm still busy, you go back and rest first."

When Princess Wei heard this, a flash of sadness flashed in her eyes, "Your Highness, don't be too busy, I'm going back to my room first."

King Wei nodded lightly, and then said to Yu Hai who was guarding the door: "Send the princess back to her room."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Princess Wei walked to the door, stopped, and looked back at King Wei.When she saw King Wei lowering his head to read again, without looking at her, a touch of sadness flashed through her heart.

"Princess, I will send you here."

"Sorry to trouble you, Eunuch Yu."

"Princess is welcome."

After a while, Yu Hai returned to the study.

"Your Highness, the princess asked the slave to remind you not to work too late at night, and to take care of yourself."

The King of Wei did not speak.

Yu Hai saw the food box on the desk and reminded King Wei: "Your Highness, the midnight snack sent by the princess will be cold if you don't eat it."

"Take it and throw it away."

"Your Highness, the princess is sincere to you. You..." Yu Hai felt that King Wei was too cold to Princess Wei. "It has been a long time since you went to the princess's yard, and it has been a long time since you had a meal with the princess..." Before he could say anything. As soon as he fell silent, he received a cold look from King Wei, who was so frightened that he quickly shut up and did not dare to say anything more.

"My slave, go and throw away the late-night snacks sent by the princess."

On the other side, Princess Wei returned to her house.

The maid next to her saw her looking sad and lonely, and quickly comforted her: "Princess, the prince is just too busy, don't think too much about it."

"Yes, the prince is too busy." Princess Wei wanted to believe this reason, but it was difficult for her to convince herself now.

"Princess, you also know that the prince is a cold-tempered person. He is indifferent to everyone. Don't take it to heart." The maid continued to comfort Princess Wei, "Princess, the prince has only one woman, and you still hand over all the affairs in the house. Making it for you means that the prince likes you."

"Does he really like me?" Princess Wei thought so at first, but over the past few years of their marriage, she gradually discovered that King Wei had always been cold to her.

"Princess, the prince is cold-tempered, please don't think nonsense."

"Your Majesty is not cold towards His Highness Tenth Highness." Princess Wei has been married to King Wei for several years and has never seen King Wei smile, but once she saw King Wei being very happy in front of His Highness Tenth Highness.

"Princess, Your Highness is the younger brother of the prince."

Princess Wei wanted to say that she was King Wei's wife and was more important than the younger brother of His Highness.

"Princess, it's getting late, please rest quickly."

Princess Wei nodded lightly.After a while, she rested under the care of the maid.However, she did not fall asleep.She lay on the bed with her hands on her flat stomach.

The prince has never come to her house. When will she be pregnant?

In the study, King Wei was still busy.Yu Hai brought him a cup of health tea.

"Your Highness, please take a sip of tea and rest."

King Wei took the tea cup from Yu Hai's hand, lowered his head and drank tea slowly.

"Your Highness, I have something I don't know whether to say or not."

"Say."

"Your Highness, there is a young prince in the palace." As soon as Yu Hai finished speaking, he saw King Wei looking at him with sharp eyes, which made him tremble in fear. "His Royal Highness has always said that he wants a nephew, have you forgotten?"

King Wei said coldly: "Get out."

He will never have a child, a child with the blood of the Southern Wei Dynasty!
