After reading the whole family's minds, the eldest daughter awakened

Chapter 95 Choosing with relatives

"Xiu'er's little mouth can talk. Let me taste it. Is it sweet?"

"Oh, my master is so evil."

Xiu'er said this, but her tender lips took the initiative to send it up.

Li Mingzhu returned with no success from Li Dengyuan, so she wanted to ask the prince, but the prince lived in the palace and she couldn't get in at all.

I was upset in the room for a whole day and couldn't think of a good solution.

Li Youwei also heard about this incident. In fact, she advocated the challenge just like the Prime Minister.

Since the Beiliang Kingdom has already considered attacking the Nanchen Kingdom, even if they send people there for marriage, peace will not last long.

Suing for peace through women will never bring true peace, and it will also ruin the life of the woman who wants to get married.

Not only is it difficult to live in Beiliang Country, but it also requires them to leave their hometown and go to a place they are unfamiliar with, and they don’t know how many hardships they will endure.

After Li Youwei left the military camp at night, he did not go back to Li Mansion first, but went to Qingfeng Tower.

Nalan Ling was already waiting there. When he saw her coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and took her arm.

"Youwei, my father has talked to me. He is afraid that I will be chosen to get married, and he hopes that I will get married as soon as possible."

It is normal for Prime Minister Nalan to have this worry. Among the ladies from aristocratic families in the capital, Nalan Ling is the best.

If one were to choose one of the ministers' daughters to be crowned a princess and marry, Nalan Ling would be the first to be chosen.

Although Prime Minister Nalan is dedicated to serving the country, he is not willing to let his daughter go to Beiliang and suffer.

It is said that the Northern Liang Emperor was cruel, and the deaths of the previous queens seemed to be inseparable from him.

In other words, no matter who you marry, you have actually jumped into a pit of fire.

"Sister Ling, do you have someone you like?"

Nalan Ling shook his head, "I don't want to get married at all, but now, I have to find someone to trust me with for the rest of my life.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already approached me. I know that he had no choice but to break off the engagement with me.

But in fact, I only regard him as my brother. "

What Nalan Ling didn't say was that Huangfu Chenyang would have a harem of three thousand beauties in the future, and she couldn't accept sharing one man with so many women.

"What does Sister Ling think of the eldest son of the Minister of Punishment?"

The eldest son of the Minister of Punishment is Situ Jue. Now serving in the Ministry of Punishment, he is impartial and selfless and is a person worthy of trust for life.

Mentioning him, Nalan Ling couldn't help but think of that encounter in the national temple, and her face couldn't help but blush slightly.

"You Wei, I'm not familiar with Mr. Situ, so I'm afraid I can't do it."

"Sister Ling, in fact, Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment deliberately matched you up that time at the Guo Temple, but Mr. Situ was relatively slow."

For women from these wealthy families, the person they eventually marry is not necessarily the one they love, but more importantly, the right one.

The Nalan family had already given birth to two queens, and Emperor Nanchen actually did not want Huangfu Chenyang to marry a daughter of the Nalan family.

So when the prince proposed to break off the engagement, the emperor did not stop him at all.

Although Situ Jue was stern and unsympathetic, he did not have any women around him, and the wife of the Minister of Punishment was notoriously good-tempered.

If Nalan Ling can marry her, it will be a pretty good marriage.

"You Wei, if the Situ family really comes to propose marriage, I will agree."

The two of them ate and chatted until very late, and Li Youwei sent Nalan Ling back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

On the way back to Li's house, there was a man holding a horse on the side of the road, seemingly waiting for someone.

The moonlight tonight is not very bright, with a hazy yellow color, and it shines on the man, giving him a sense of ambiguity.

As she approached, the man raised his head and walked towards her.

"Youwei, I have something to tell you."

Wang Boyan's hand holding the reins tightened slightly, obviously a little nervous.

Li Youwei stood a few steps away, "Brother Boyan, please speak."

Hearing that Li Youwei was willing to call him Brother Boyan, a glimmer of hope rose in Wang Boyan's eyes.

"You Wei, this time the Beiliang Kingdom will marry..."

Wang Boyan didn't know how to say the next words for a while, he was afraid that he would push Li Youwei further.

"If you need it, we can leave..." "Brother Boyan, thank you. If I need your help, I will definitely ask."

"That's good."

After saying these three words, the two of them were silent for a long time. They didn't have to be so quarrelsome with each other, but they were disturbed twice by the general's wife. Even if they were friends, they couldn't go back to before.

Li Youwei said goodbye to Wang Boyan and returned to Li's house.

Wang Boyan's hand holding the reins tightened again, and he could only walk in the opposite direction.

Morning morning a few days later.

"Prince Rui, have you chosen the person for marriage?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I have been selecting suitable candidates these days, but..."

Prince Rui's pause made Emperor Nan Chen anxious.

"But encountered obstacles?"

"Your Majesty, things are going well. I have drawn up a list, please take a look."

"Okay, present it."

The eunuch hurriedly presented the list in Prince Rui's hand to Emperor Nanchen.

Emperor Nanchen opened the folder and quickly browsed through it. After reading the last name, he threw the folder directly in front of Prince Rui.

"Is this the person you elected?"

Prince Rui hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the only ones who are not engaged are these young ladies."

"What do you mean?"

Emperor Nanchen was displeased, with a stormy expression on his face.

"Back to Your Majesty, just after I heard that I was going to Beiliang to choose someone to get married, many ladies in the house quickly made arrangements for marriage, so I really can't blame Prince Rui for his unfavorable affairs."

Zhou Mingfan came out to explain to Prince Rui.

"You are so brave, how dare you deceive me." Emperor Nanchen was so angry that he swept all the memorials on the table in front of him to the ground.

"Your Majesty, calm down." The ministers knelt down in fear.

"According to my decree, all women of the right age who have not yet held a wedding ceremony will be included in the list."

After saying that, Emperor Nan Chen waved his sleeves and left.

After going down to court, Prince Rui walked to the uneasy Prime Minister Nalan.

"Prime Minister Nalan, if there is anything you need from me, please feel free to tell me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Prince Rui nodded, lifted the hem of his official robe, and stepped onto the long white marble steps.

"Uncle, come with me."

The prince walked to the side of the prime minister and lowered his voice.

"it is good."

In Qingfeng Tower, the prince did not beat around the bush and directly stated the purpose of inviting him to Qingfeng Tower this time.

"Uncle, you don't have to worry, I won't let Ling'er get married."

"Chen Yang, you are so sure, but is there any foolproof way?"

"Uncle, just trust me."

Seeing Huangfu Chenyang's certainty, Prime Minister Nalan stopped asking any more questions.

At court the next day, Prince Rui handed over the reorganized list.

Emperor Nanchen looked at the names on the fold and was finally satisfied.

"Prince Rui, who do you think among these women can take on this important responsibility?"

"In my opinion, the eldest lady of the Shangshu Palace of the Ministry of Punishment, the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Palace, and the eldest daughter of Mr. Li, a third-rank official, are all suitable candidates for marriage."

Emperor Nan Chen nodded, "It's indeed good. Forget it about the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Let's choose one from the other two."
