Time always flies by, day after day.
The wedding date of the fifth princess has also been set, it will be the eighth day of February next year.
Yan Yan continued to work peacefully as usual, asking Qing Qing and Xia Cao to report to him from time to time. She basically knew the names, ages, and general personalities of the marriageable military attachés in Yanjing City. , but there is still no favorite candidate.
After all, there is no rush when it comes to marriage, so we can only wait patiently and slowly. But he couldn't just let time pass and leave it to fate. Yan Shu had to relax his requirements a little, for example, his age could be two or three years old, or he didn't have to be a military attache, but he could be talented. Always compare and contrast for reference.
Occasionally Yan Yu and Yan Shu would come to chat with Yan Shu and share interesting things about Yanjing City, and their lives were quite pleasant.
Just like this, another two months passed before I received the good news that the third prince had won a great victory in the border battle and was about to return to the palace. Yan Shu is still looking forward to meeting the third prince Yan Lie. After all, he is Yan Shu's royal brother and his blood is thicker than water.
What Yan Yan is looking forward to more is Yan Lie's deputy general Li Xiao. He heard that this man has amazing martial arts, cold personality, and is particularly difficult to get along with. Li Xiao's father was also a military general. He fought to the death to protect his master, the current Emperor Yanyun, and finally fell in a pool of blood. Li Xiao's mother also died of illness within two years. Therefore, when Li Xiao was ten years old, he joined the army alone and made the military camp his home. Later, he gradually gained recognition from the top for his resourcefulness and bravery, and was eventually taken under Yan Lie's command. They lived together through life and death, and had close friends. Now he is 26 years old. Because he is not close to women, there are rumors that he has hidden health problems. marriage.
Yan Yan targeted Li Xiao and made the sudden decision when she learned that Yan Lie was about to return to the palace. Because Li Xiao's identity is exactly what he thinks. He is a military general who has made his home in the military camp all year round. He has hidden diseases and is not sexually attracted to women. No normal woman would be willing to marry such a person, so there is no need to ask him. Are you willing to be a consort? But for Yan Shu, a salty fish, wouldn't it be better to marry such a person? As a princess, she can naturally do whatever she wants. Wouldn't it be perfect if they don't interfere with each other?
The more Yan Shu thought about it, the more excited she became, but how to get her father to agree to marry Li Xiao? This is a difficult problem. After all, the person is in the wrong place and has flaws. Why do I have to marry him?
Because if you marry Li Xiao, you can stay in Yanjing City and be a salty fish for the rest of your life! Of course, this is Yan Shu's own little thought, and it cannot be used as a reason to persuade his father and mother.
Another half month later, the third prince and his entourage finally returned to the palace. On that day, only Yan Lie entered the palace to report on his duties, while the other soldiers went directly to the military camp to rest. In the court, the third prince was praised and affirmed by Emperor Yanyun for his outstanding performance, and was specially named the War King. All the soldiers under his command were also promoted to nobility and rewarded. Among them, Li Xiao was even named a loyal and brave general.
After going to court, Yan Yan asked to see Emperor Yan Yun.
"Little girl, why are you here?" Emperor Yanyun asked kindly.
"Father, I have a favor to ask of you." Yan Shu replied nervously.
"Oh? Tell me." Emperor Yan Yun looked at Yan Shu with gentle eyes.
"Father, the fifth sister is about to marry far away from the country of Yi. I just want to stay with my father and mother and concubine forever. So... So I think, can I stay in Yanjing City forever?" Yan Yan decided to show her love. Move with reason.
"What's the matter? The young lady has a sweetheart?" Emperor Yanyun was satisfied when he mentioned Yan Yu's marriage. I just became interested.
