The emperor's choice of county horses is a rare thing in the imperial city. After all, it has never been heard that the Emperor himself chose his son-in-law, and the husband-in-law of a princess doesn't have to worry about the Emperor himself. However, the identity of the young princess is not general after all. She is the eldest daughter of the crown prince. With his royal highness now as stable as a rock and the degree to which the emperor's eldest grandson is loved, this must be the eldest princess in the future.

Therefore, different from the attitude of the children of aristocratic families who have been harmed by premature death in recent years, the heads of major aristocratic families are very optimistic about this marriage. After all, Princess Yaoyao has never been accused of any impoliteness on formal occasions. As for others, it's natural for the little princess to be noble, spoiled and naughty. What's the problem?

Therefore, on the day of the county horse election, the children of the aristocratic family who received the post, whether willing or unwilling, were properly cleaned up by their elders and sent to the palace.

The Taichu emperor specially cleaned up the palace closest to the palace gate and connected with the small garden in the southwest corner of the palace as a place for selecting County horses. The children of many aristocratic families were nervous. At first, the Taichu emperor and the Prince did not appear, but were entertained by Xiao jingshao, the eldest grandson of the emperor. The sons of aristocratic families in the capital are still very familiar with the emperor's eldest son. The emperor's eldest son is not as dignified as the Taichu emperor, nor as indifferent as the prince. Although almost raised by the Emperor himself, his character is rare, gentle, free and easy to approach. Therefore, many aristocratic families in the capital have good friends with him.

"The emperor's eldest grandson." seeing Xiao jingshao coming with people, they quickly got up and saluted.

Xiao jingshao nodded to the crowd with a smile. He wasn't surprised to see Shang Qiao and Jun Nanyan. He just raised his eyebrows at them.

Xiao jingshao exchanged greetings with everyone, and then went to Jun Nanyan to say hello, "young master, meet again."

Jun Nan Yan was a little embarrassed and arched his hand and said, "emperor changsun."

Jun Nan Yan is actually at a loss. He naturally understands his thoughts on Yaoyao, but he also understands that Yaoyao has no special thoughts on himself. More clearly, the gap between rosefinch city and Prince's house. It's not that Jun Nanyan belittles himself, but that people in the Jianghu and the royal family are not the same people at all. Therefore, he promised Xiange childe to protect Yaoyao for five years. In fact, he agreed with some pain and helplessness. It was not that he was unwilling to protect Yaoyao, but that he knew that this was the closest distance he could get to her.

But Jun Nanyan didn't expect that when he returned home last night, he received a post sent by the prince's house. Jun Nan Yan sat at the table with the post and didn't sleep all night. When he didn't return to his mind at dawn, he had already taken care of himself and stayed in the famous post and left the door.

He did not expect that the crown prince and the crown princess could accept a person in the Jianghu as the suitor of their beloved daughter, even if it was only a qualification.

Although there was only a short conversation yesterday, Jun Nanyan could see that the crown prince and the crown princess were not people who teased people at will. Since the post was sent to him, it means that they recognized his qualification to pursue premature death.

Jun Nan Yan seemed to have a flame rising in his heart. Since God gave him this opportunity, he must try his best! Try to get the qualification to stay with Xiao Yao forever. Even if you fail in the end, it's much better than doing nothing.

Xiao jingshao looked at Jun Nanyan with a little more appreciation. To be fair, Jun Nanyan had little chance. One is because of his status as a person in the Jianghu, and the other is because of himself. Jun Nan Yan's appearance is obviously smaller than his peers, and even standing with Yaoyao who is younger than him seems to be two years younger. Neither the emperor's grandfather nor anyone will consider such a candidate. Jun Nanyan is a proud man. Coming here rashly is tantamount to his own defeat. But Jun Nanyan still came. With this heart for Yaoyao, Xiao jingshao felt that he had won many aristocratic family children.

But... That's not enough. Xiao jingshao smiled on his lips. Where is it so easy to marry their family?

After a few words with Jun Nanyan, Xiao jingshao turned his eyes to Shang Qiao and walked past.

"I thought you wouldn't come." Xiao jingshao said.

They went to the stone table in the corner of the garden and sat down. Shang Qiao just said, "master..."

Xiao jingshao raised his hand to interrupt him and said, "you don't want to come. My mother won't force you. Elder martial brother, as a martial brother, I hope you and Yaoyao can be the best. In addition to my parents, you are the only person I can trust most in the world. But... If I were just Yaoyao's brother, I would never marry Yaoyao to you."

Shang Qiao looked up at the young man in front of him. Although he was still young, Xiao jingshao, the eldest grandson of the emperor, had the edge and spirit of an adult in his eyebrows.

Xiao jingshao leaned forward. His eyes, which were seven or eight points similar to Yaoyao's, stared at Shang Qiao's eyes and said, "as a brother, I hope Yaoyao can have a husband who loves her as much as a treasure. Of course, I believe you will be good to Yaoyao all your life and even be willing to pay for her birth. But... Your attitude may make her feel cold one day."

Shang Qiao was silent.

Xiao jingshao shook his head and leaned back against the big tree behind the stool.

When his mother accepted Shang Qiao as an apprentice, Xiao jingshao was still young and couldn't remember much. But later I heard some people talk about it. Xiao jingshao also heard his mother say that some children's childhood experience may affect their whole life. Although Shang Qiao has been very good these years, his character is indeed quite cold. It's not Dad's indifference, but a deliberate alienation that is well hidden but can still be perceived by close people.

Shangqiao will be very kind to Yaoyao. Shangqiao is willing to give everything for Yaoyao. Shangqiao will become the best brother in the world. But it is difficult for him to become Yaoyao's lover, because he doesn't believe that he can bring Yaoyao happiness. He feels that he doesn't deserve Yaoyao. Even, he was afraid that he would hurt Yaoyao.

Xiao jingshao has some sympathy for such a Shangqiao, but he has nothing to do. Even his mother and general Shang were helpless. Even sometimes, Xiao jingshao wondered if they were too demanding on Shang Qiao? There are many people in this world who are unhappy, and don't they spend their whole life in peace? Shang Qiao is a good son, apprentice, elder martial brother and elder brother. Why do they ask him so much?

Xiao jingshao said, "elder martial brother, it's not your responsibility to die young. Your mother didn't let you come to accept it. But now you know, the choice is right in front of you. Seize... Or give up completely."

With that, Xiao jingshao stood up and patted Shang Qiao on the shoulder and turned away. Today he is the master and doesn't have so much time to talk to Shang Qiao. What's more, they have already talked about this problem. Xiao jingshao doesn't think that Shang Qiao's intelligence needs him to repeat those principles again and again.

But his last words were sincere.

Once Yaoyao chose the county horse, Shangqiao had no chance to regret.

Shang Qiao silently looked at Xiao jingshao, who had left. For a moment, he was a little silent.

Looking at Jun Nan Yan not far away, the young man who was several years younger than him had a fire in his eyes. There was a look of envy in Shang Qiao's eyes. He will never be as indifferent as that boy.

Yaoyao and Jun Nanyan are close to Shang Qiao. He doesn't have the slightest idea in his heart, but... Looking at the young man, Shang Qiao's heart is not only slightly sour, but more envy and admiration.

A 16-year-old boy can go all the way to the capital alone for the girl he likes. In the face of the huge family gap, he refused to shrink back, but this spirit was enough to make Shang Qiao admire. Just... Looking at the girl running towards him not far away, Shang Qiao flashed a spoiled smile in his eyes.

"Brother Aqiao!" Yao Yao ran to Shang Qiao and looked at him in surprise. "Brother Aqiao, why are you here?"

Shang Qiao smiled faintly and said, "can't I be here?"

Yaoyao shook his head and said, "it's not... It's just a little strange. Did my mother force you to support me?"

Shang Qiao helplessly patted Yaoyao's head and said, "what support the field? Where did you learn these nonsense after running outside for two years?"

Yaoyao rolled his eyes and said, "you think I don't know what those people in the capital think? Qin Lang's bastards are going to hide from me. If they don't agree at that time, the emperor's grandfather must feel ashamed." the emperor feels ashamed, and everyone will be very unhappy.

"Nonsense." Shang Qiao Wen said, "don't belittle yourself at will."

Yaoyao shrugged disapprovingly and sympathized: "no matter, since you're here, brother Aqiao, you'll be wronged for a while. I'm sure I won't embarrass you. Just come and play for a while. Anyway, you're usually so busy. Taking a break is good for your health." as he said, Yaoyao happened to see Jun Nanyan holding his chest and leaning against the tree not far away. He waved to Jun Nan Yan with a bright smile and said with a smile, "brother a Qiao, I'll find Jun Nan Yan and you can play with an an."

"Go." Shang Qiao whispered.

Yao Yao waved to him, turned around and ran happily to the place where Jun Nan Yan was. Behind him, Shang Qiao looked at her cheerful back and was in a trance for a long time. He just sighed, shook his head and put away the trace of gloom and helplessness in the bottom of his eyes.

Naturally, it is not ambiguous for the Taichu emperor to choose a husband and son-in-law for his granddaughter, not to mention the emperor's eldest son, who is a twin brother. The conditions are harsh. Not only family background, age, appearance, talent and character are indispensable. Before the Taichu emperor arrived, most of the children of the aristocratic family who came to participate in the selection were eliminated. The reasons why Xiao jingshao eliminated them ranged from mediocrity and incompetence, bad character to ordinary appearance and incompetence. However, not all the people who were eliminated felt depressed and sad, but there were many people who were somewhat lucky to escape.

Yaoyao took Jun Nanyan to sit on the tree above the garden, looked at the scenes, and ate the cakes leisurely.

Jun Nan Yan couldn't help looking at her and asked, "Xiao Yao, aren't you worried?"

"What are you worried about?" Yaoyao asked.

Jun Nan Yan said, "don't you worry... Don't you like the people elected by the emperor's eldest grandson?"

Yao Yao said, "what's the worry? I'm the one who marries. If I don't like it, I won't marry."

"But your majesty..."

Yao Yao shrugged and said, "although the emperor's grandfather ordered the election of county horses without my consent, we should let him be the emperor, otherwise we will be unlucky if he doesn't have a good face. But who said that the election of county horses must choose a candidate, can't I? The Emperor's grandfather can't kill me."

Jun Nanyan couldn't help laughing. He was really a spoiled child.

Yaoyao blinked. "What are you doing looking at me like that?"

Jun Nan Yan asked, "does Xiao Yao know why I'm here?"

Yaoyao said, "didn't my father send you a post?"

Jun Nan Yan stared at her and said, "so I'm here to run for the county horse."

"Ah?!" Yao Yao was stunned. When he reacted, the whole man had fallen into the tree.

"Xiao Yao!"

Fortunately, Yaoyao's strength is really good. He doesn't need Jun Nanyan to save him in mid air. He turned over in the air and fell steadily to the ground. Jun Nan Yan quickly jumped down and anxiously said, "are you okay?"

"I'm fine, but... Why are you trying to scare people?!"

Jun Nan Yan smiled helplessly, "can't I explain my purpose when I appear here?"

Yao Yao was stunned and was at a loss. She is naturally a smart girl. She didn't think about why Jun Nanyan appeared here. But this guess just flashed, which was attributed to the post sent by his father and mother. Jun Nanyan didn't give the prince's house face, so he came. After all, the young princess has everything since childhood, but there is nothing... Good luck.

"Xiao Yao, I'm serious." Jun Nanyan looked at her and said in a deep voice, "do you think I came all the way to the capital just to thank you? Xiao Yao... I admire you. I want to marry you."

"Uncle Xiange..." Yao Yao was depressed. Rosefinch City wanted to repay uncle Xiange for saving his life. Naturally, it was impossible to really let his little Lord be a bodyguard for five years. From small to large, it was the first time someone told her so frankly in front of her that he admired her.

For a time, Yaoyao was at a loss.

What should I do? What should I do?

Looking at the girl's Crimson face and the confusion in linglongqiao's eyes, Jun Nanyan wanted to laugh.

"Xiao Yao doesn't have to think so much. I don't want to force you. I just want to tell you... Let you know what I think."

Yaoyao looked at him hesitantly and said, "but... I always think you should be my brother."

"..." what if you can't laugh?
