The best ring

"What's the matter?" The seventh princess said casually without raising her head.

"Look, you are not young anymore. When your brothers and sisters were as old as you, they were all married and even had children. Now, you are the only one who is still unmarried. I want to take advantage of today's opportunity to Opportunity to choose a consort for you," the old emperor said.

When the seventh princess heard the old emperor's words, she suddenly raised her head, looked at the old emperor and said, "Father, I will not marry!"

"Nonsense!" the old emperor said with a straight face: "How can a girl not get married? Otherwise, who will take care of you in the future?"

"I will always follow my father. Father, you just need to take care of me." The seventh princess said.

The old emperor's stern face suddenly melted a little. He touched the seventh princess's head and said: "Silly boy, my father wants to take care of you all the time, but people are subject to birth, old age, illness and death. Even if my father is the emperor, You can’t escape, so your father can’t always accompany you in your future journey.”

"Father, why did you say this?" The seventh princess looked at the old emperor in confusion and asked.

The old emperor smiled and said, "It's nothing. My father just hopes that you will find your consort as soon as possible."

The seventh princess didn't understand why the old emperor said this, but others at the scene seemed to understand something.

There had been rumors earlier that the old emperor's health was getting worse. However, everyone saw that the old emperor was always lively and calm, so they did not believe that rumor.

However, now that they saw that the old emperor was so anxious to find the consort for the seventh princess, and also said such words, they had to let their imaginations wander.

Maybe the previous news was not false? The old emperor's health is indeed not as good as before, so why is he in a hurry to find a son-in-law for the seventh princess?

The more everyone thought about it, the more they felt it was possible.

This made many ministers who originally had the attitude of watching a show start to feel alive.

If the old emperor's health is really bad and something unexpected happens, then the huge Yanfeng Kingdom will definitely need a new emperor to take charge of the overall situation. But now the old emperor has not appointed any prince as the prince. In other words, all The princes all have opportunities in name.

For ministers like them, this is both an opportunity and a crisis.

If they choose the correct team in advance, they will be able to soar into the sky, and their identity and status will be greatly improved. However, if they take the wrong team, they may be demoted or even put their lives in danger.

It's impossible not to stand in line. If you don't stand in line, unless you have strong strength to detach yourself from this matter, otherwise, you will be involved. They don't go to those princes. Those princes want to strengthen themselves. With their own strength, they will also take the initiative to find them. Moreover, if they don't take sides and wait for the matter to settle, they will definitely be replaced by other people who take the right sides, thus being completely marginalized.

Therefore, the change of the throne is a major event involving everyone in the court. No one dares to be careless about this matter. After all, this is a matter involving one's wealth and life.

And the princes, after hearing the old emperor's words, had some speculations, and their hearts also became alive, especially those princes who had thoughts about the throne. They were even more excited now, and they also felt vaguely. The final moment of contention is coming.

Because there is no prince, each of them has a chance. There is only one throne. Only by sitting in that position can one truly become the best among ten thousand people. Who would be willing to give up such an opportunity?

In just a short period of time, the princes and ministers had a lot on their minds. Their minds were no longer on this banquet, but on more important things. As for the previous promotion of Wu Fan from baron to viscount. , and were completely forgotten by them.

He's just a viscount, and he doesn't rank at all in the imperial capital. Compared with the change of throne, it's nothing worth mentioning.

Although the old emperor was comforting the Seventh Princess, the corner of his eye showed that everyone was paying attention to the scene. He had been emperor for many years and his eyesight was not bad. He knew his ministers and sons very well. Looking at the fluctuations in those people's eyes and changes in their expressions, the old emperor could guess what they were thinking.

Regarding the changes in the expressions of those people, the old emperor just snorted coldly in his heart and did not say anything.

In fact, what he just said to the Seventh Princess was not so much for the Seventh Princess as for everyone present. Obviously, his ministers and princes had already understood it. understood the meaning of his words.

The old emperor knew that his body was in a bad state and he was afraid that he would not be able to hold on for long. However, none of his princes could satisfy him completely, so he had not yet decided who should be crowned prince.

Now, he is planning to change the way to decide the position of the prince or even the future emperor, that is, let those princes who have ideas about the throne fight for it themselves. His intention has been conveyed, and then it will depend on their own abilities. , to see who can get more support and recognition, and in this competition process, the princes' abilities, character and personality, etc., will be shown, and it will also allow the old emperor and the ministers to have a clearer understanding know.

The old emperor himself will watch from behind the scenes, control the overall situation, and stabilize the situation. The princes can compete with each other, but they cannot mess up the country because of it. The current Yanfeng Kingdom is not peaceful to begin with, and there are various internal and external troubles. The old emperor Obviously, he did not want the court to cause new troubles at this time.

"But Father, didn't you promise me that I will make the decision on my marriage?" The seventh princess may be the only one in the audience who has not understood the meaning of the old emperor's words. She is still struggling with the old emperor's words. The emperor chose his consort for himself.

This is also an important reason why the old emperor likes the Seventh Princess. Although the Seventh Princess is usually a bit unruly, she is simple-minded and was born in a palace full of intrigues. However, she is able to maintain her purity and innocence, which is extremely difficult, unlike other princes. , the princesses racked their brains and made various conspiracies for their own benefit.

"Father has promised you, and he is not going to break his promise." The old emperor said softly: "So, today I asked some ministers to bring over the marriageable but unmarried young talents from their families for you to choose. , whoever you fall in love with will be your consort!”

As the old emperor spoke, he motioned to the young men who were vying for the title of the Seventh Princess's consort to go to the center of the hall and stand one by one, allowing the Seventh Princess to choose.
