"Senior brother, please tell me."
"You and I can forget what happened before. We will still be brothers like brothers from now on."
"no problem!"
"..."
In this way, Su Xian finished treating Zhou Wei's wounds and personally took him to the Longwu Army camp.
Yan Dashan really accepted Zhou Wei again for Su Xian's sake...
As for Li Qingniu, Su Xian directly took the "Master's Wife Route". It only took less than half a day for Li Qingniu to compromise and let out the news that Zhou Wei could come back at any time.
After dealing with these, Su Xian finally focused on "recruiting a son-in-law".
…
…
Nothing major happened in Shendu City recently, it was like a pool of stagnant water.
After noon.
People are busy, taking their lunch break, people are coming and going in the streets, and the teahouses and restaurants are as lively as ever.
Suddenly, a big piece of news came out——
Princess Lanling is about to recruit a son-in-law!
This news was like a nuclear bomb thrown into the stagnant water of Shendu City. In an instant, it set off a huge wave, sweeping everything and spreading around as quickly as possible.
Most of the people in the city gathered in front of the gates of each square, because the imperial court had just posted a notice, which was the source of the news that Princess Lanling was about to find a son-in-law.
"Princess Lanling? Looking for a son-in-law?"
People raised their heads and looked at the notice that had just been posted beside the gate of Fangshi. They all fell into a daze, with expressions of shock and disbelief on their faces.
That's Princess Lanling!
The most favored and powerful princess of the Daliang Dynasty, she was extremely beautiful and had an excellent figure. She was the ultimate representative of the aesthetics of the Daliang court.
It is not an exaggeration to say that she is "the most beautiful woman in the world".
However, such a woman who combines power, beauty and wisdom actually needs to find a son-in-law? Much beyond everyone's expectations!
Logically speaking, only the unique man in the world is worthy of Princess Lanling. The princess should enjoy the most beautiful and pure love in the world.
But recruiting a son-in-law...
It always gives people the illusion of "blaspheming the princess".
Although I was extremely shocked and didn't want to believe it, it was exactly what was written in black and white on the notice. It was also stamped with the seal of the imperial court, so there could be no mistake.
"It's true! Princess Lanling is really... looking for a son-in-law!"
People exclaimed, reluctantly accepting this unacceptable news.
"I wonder which man is so lucky to be the husband-in-law of a princess? Didn't that man save the entire world in his previous life?" People started to debate.
"If I can be favored by the princess, even if I only work as the consort for a day, I will die without regrets!" Some people had unlimited reveries in their hearts.
"Being a consort for a day? You are too greedy. If the princess likes me, half a day will be enough." Someone retorted.
"Half a day? I only need one hour, oh no, only a quarter of an hour is enough. If I can say a few words to the princess, I will die without regrets..."
"..."
There were also people in the crowd who were always awake. After hearing these wishful thinking, they couldn't help but point at those people one by one, laughing and cursing:
"You have already got married, and you still think about the princess? Aren't you afraid that the princess will send someone to cut off your head?"
"And you, you, you, one is dressed like a beggar, the other looks like Zhong Kui, and the last hair has not even grown, right? Are you the only ones who dare to take advantage of Princess Lanling?"
"Haha, I'm not laughing at you. You should look in the mirror first and then give up decisively. If you get killed because of this, don't blame me for not reminding you."
After hearing this, everyone felt that it was reasonable, so they all gave up their wishful thinking of "getting Lanling's favor, marrying the princess, and reaching the pinnacle of life".
This is too unrealistic for ordinary people like them.
You know, she is a princess. She combines beauty and power. How can an ordinary person fall into the eyes of a princess?
Ever since, the focus of people’s heated discussions began to change:
"This notice... only says that the princess is looking for a son-in-law, but it doesn't say who to look for as her son-in-law or how to do it."
"Looking at the whole world, I am afraid that the only person who can match our princess is the Taiwei. Together, they can be called a talented man and a beautiful woman!"
"That's not right, that's not right! The Taiwei has already started a family, and it is impossible for the princess to marry the Taiwei..."
"That's right. Is that the prince and grandson? Or the prince and grandson of another country?"
"..."
At a time when people in the city are discussing it.
Miyagi, Imperial Study Room.
The Queen was also notified of the notices posted throughout the city.
She has given full authority over this matter to Su Xian, so Su Xian does not need to ask for instructions on everything. For example, the Queen does not know about posting notices in advance.
After reading the notice, the Queen nodded slowly and said with a smile: "I can rest assured that Su Aiqing will handle the matter. Let Su Aiqing handle it."
Nangong Wan'er put the notice away and asked casually: "Is Your Majesty really willing to let the princess get married?"
The Queen looked calm and said slowly:
"When my daughter is old, she will be laughed at if she doesn't marry. Even if I am the emperor, I won't be too presumptuous."
"A woman has to get married. I can't delay her life events just because I like her. The only thing I can do now is to choose a reliable husband for her."
After hearing this, Nangong Wan'er's heart moved slightly, especially the sentence "women have to get married". She couldn't help but wonder in her heart, when will the Queen let her out of the palace to get married?
The Queen's eyes were sharp, as if she could see through Nangong Wan'er's thoughts, she pursed her lips and smiled:
"The same goes for you. I will marry you in two years. You can observe first. Who do you want to marry among the civil and military officials of this dynasty?"
"Wan'er doesn't dare." Nangong Wan'er quickly put her thoughts aside and bowed cautiously.
The Queen smiled and ordered: "Continue to pay attention to Su Aiqing's actions. No matter what happens, you must report it immediately."
"According to the order." Nangong Wan'er bowed and accepted the order.
East Palace.
The prince, princess, Qian Zhongshu and others gathered together. They smiled and congratulated each other, thinking that this was a huge victory.
On the other side, the six ministers and others also gathered together, but compared to the smiling faces of the prince and others, they looked worried.
Princess Lanling is their leader. If the princess fails, they may be leaderless in the court, and then be defeated one by one by the enemy...
Liu Shizhong and the neutral faction also gathered together for a secret discussion. They did not take sides and just hoped that the storm would end quickly and that it would be best not to involve the government and the national economy and people's livelihood.
In the city.
In front of the gate of each square.
The people stayed together for a long time and continued to discuss Lanling's recruitment of a son-in-law.
A common question people have is...how to recruit a son-in-law?
"For such a big matter, and Princess Lanling is His Majesty's favorite daughter, I am afraid that Your Majesty will personally take charge of this matter." Someone guessed.
This guess won unanimous approval from people.
But at this moment, the court posted another notice, which clearly stated that Taiwei Su Xian would be solely responsible for the recruitment of a son-in-law in Lanling!
No one else can interfere!
"Everyone, am I reading this correctly? A matter as big as Princess Lanling's recruitment of a husband is actually under the full control of... the Taiwei? The Taiwei decides on the princess's husband?!"
People were shocked and expressed their incomprehension.
This is too mysterious.
Princess Lanling is, after all, the daughter of Her Majesty the Queen. It’s fine that the Queen doesn’t choose her husband herself, but she actually entrusts such an important matter to the Taiwei?
You know, although the Taiwei has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats, he is not a member of the royal family after all, he is just an outsider!
People are very confused.
I don’t know how Her Majesty the Queen and Princess Lanling made such a ridiculous decision.
Suddenly someone came up with a different opinion:
"Although this matter may sound mysterious at first, if you think about it carefully, our Taiwei is an outstanding person in the world and can do anything. I am afraid that only the Taiwei can find a suitable husband for the princess."
After hearing this, everyone nodded unconsciously, thinking that it made sense. This was probably what Her Majesty the Queen and Princess Lanling were thinking.
Subsequently, people started a lively discussion based on this.
For example, how Su Xian will recruit a son-in-law for the princess, and when to start recruiting a son-in-law, etc., have become the focus of heated discussions.
As we chatted, a discordant voice suddenly emerged among the chatter:
"Hey, tell me, if the Taiwei is solely responsible for finding a son-in-law for the princess, is it possible for the Taiwei to... guard and steal? To take the only Princess Lanling in the world as his own?"
"..."
As soon as these words came out, the whole street fell silent.
Treason!
These four words popped up in people's minds at the same time.
"Who is talking nonsense? Not only is it ruining the reputation of our Taiwei, but he is also insulting Princess Lanling. Who is it?"
Angry people searched around, looking like they were going to beat someone up.
But everyone searched around, but still couldn't find the person who was talking nonsense, and finally had to give up angrily...
Shortly after.
Imperial City.
Princess Lanling's Mansion.
The hot topics of discussion among the people on the streets reached the Princess Mansion, and no word was left.
"Being a thief?"
Su Xian smiled. He was sitting on the side of the beauty's couch, holding a pair of silk-covered jade legs in his arms. They were round and straight. He enjoyed the silkiness and said with a smile:
"It seems that it has been like this since ancient times, haha, interesting, interesting!"
"Why is it always like this in ancient and modern times? How can it be interesting?" Lan Ling frowned.
She was lying on the beauty couch, her legs were held tightly by Su Xian, and there were thick pillows on her shoulders and under her neck. She was lying on the armrest of the beauty couch with her upper body tilted.
Their postures were the same as yesterday.
Although Lan Ling was lying there, he was not idle. He had been reading documents and memorials, and from time to time he would write something down.
Because she was lying down, it was inconvenient to use a brush to write, but there was no other way. As soon as Su Xian came, he pulled her onto the beauty bed...
Lanling had no choice but to aggrieve himself.
Su Xian held the pair of treasures and played with them carefully. He couldn't put them down and seemed to never be able to get enough of them.
When Lan Ling saw this, he was secretly very happy, and the grievances in his heart were forgotten in Java.
Just like that, the two of them sat quietly, you were busy with yours and I was playing with mine, and everything was fine.
Until the heated discussion among the people reached their ears...
Lan Ling actually didn't take these comments to heart, but Su Xian's words made her very confused. What does "this has been the case in ancient and modern times" mean?
"Princess, you don't know. What I said has always been the same in ancient and modern times. I actually meant one sentence." Su Xian lowered his head and looked at the baby in his arms. It was smooth and silky, and it was slim and perfect. It was perfect!
Holding it in his arms was like holding a pair of treasures, it felt so comfortable, and he wanted to get in there and take a bite.
"What are you talking about?" Lan Ling put down the documents and brush in his hand, becoming more and more confused.
"The eyes of the people are sharp!" Su Xian answered casually without thinking too much.
"The people... are bright..." Lan Ling's eyes lit up, and then his face changed slightly. He looked at Su Xian and asked: "You mean... you are guarding and stealing?"
Su Xian fell in love with those treasures more and more. After all, he couldn't hold back the impulse in his heart. He slowly leaned down and gently rubbed the side of his face against the silky surface.
At the same time, he replied in a perfunctory manner: "Yes, what I mean is... they are right, I just kept myself in check, hahahahaha..."
"What do you think I am?!"
Lan Ling's face darkened and her heart became angry. She saw Su Xian brushing her calf with his side face and opening his mouth to... bite? She kicked her legs hastily.
Su Xian was caught off guard and couldn't react in time, so he could only watch the pair of treasures leave him.
He pursed his lips, looked at Lan Ling and said, "Princess, what are you doing?"
"Are you still embarrassed to ask me?" Lan Ling rolled his eyes.
Su Xian understood and quickly apologized with a smile.
Lan Ling ignored him and picked up the paperwork and brush again to work.
Su Xian laughed and slowly went to catch Lan Ling's jade feet. Lan Ling resisted for a moment, then followed Su Xian's will and let him continue to hold her.
"By the way, what are your methods of delaying?" Lan Ling suddenly asked.
"Princess, don't ask, you will understand later." Su Xian smiled mysteriously.
Lan Ling just finished processing a document and threw it on the small table next to the beauty's couch. He glanced at Su Xian, pursed his lips, and stopped talking.
In the end, she said nothing and picked up another document to read.
Su Xian's attention was all on those legs, and he didn't notice Lan Ling's hesitation just now.
He had no choice but to think about the comment of "guarding and stealing" in his mind, which inexplicably made him feel excited, so the more he looked at these babies, the more he liked them.
It's good to guard and steal, this is what he likes to do...
After a while, Lan Ling finally couldn't hold it back and hesitated: "If... you can really help me get out of the crisis this time, I will... just..."
"Just what?" Su Xian looked up.
Lan Ling was worried, thinking that it was not like he had done this kind of thing before, so he said calmly and calmly: "I will... reward you with... what you are holding!"
"I'm holding it..." Su Xian lowered his head and saw Lan Ling's treasures. His eyes suddenly lit up and he hurriedly promised: "Princess, please don't worry, I will definitely help you get out of the crisis!"
"It's just that the princess wants to keep her word. When things are done, these pairs..."
Su Xian had just finished speaking when Lan Ling hurriedly corrected him: "One pair? You are so thoughtful. I will only reward you with one... one pair this time!"
"One piece? It's too little!" Su Xian was dissatisfied and bargained.
"That's not enough for you? How much do you want?" Lan Ling glared.
"At least...three!"
