"Three..." Lan Ling was speechless and rolled his eyes: "There is only one thing, do you want love or not? Well, I thought about it again. If your plan fails, I can find someone to marry..."
"Then just one!" Su Xian agreed hastily. In fact, in his opinion, there was no difference between one pair and one pair.
Lan Ling nodded, which was considered a deal.
She looked at Su Xian with an excited face, and felt lost for a moment: "Everything in my body is about to be rewarded to him. What else is left for me?"
After a sudden thought, she became calm and thought to herself:
"None of this is important. When his Japanese palace plan succeeds, it will all be worth it! Fortunately, he is still very... obsessed with me!"
"..."
Miyagi, Imperial Study Room.
After learning about the reaction of the people in the city, the Queen muttered secretly: "What solution can Su Aiqing come up with? He has done amazing things many times, and I believe this time is no exception."
East Palace.
The prince, princess, Qian Zhongshu and others were all laughing:
"No matter what tricks Su Xian has, Lan Ling will eventually get married. As long as Lan Ling gets married, her power in the court will be greatly reduced. That is our opportunity."
In the city of God's capital.
In front of the gates of major cities.
The crowd of spectators went crazy again.
Because the third notice from the imperial court finally came down.
"If you can read, go up and take a look. What's on the notice?"
People immediately gathered around, and literate scholars from three floors inside and three outside came forward, walked to the notice, and interpreted it word by word for everyone:
"...Anyone who meets the following three conditions can sign up to participate...the best will be selected after a series of tests, and a few will be selected for the princess to choose personally."
】
"Is this the process of recruiting a son-in-law? Come and see what the first condition is!" People debated for a while, and finally looked at the scholar under the notice.
The scholar said:
"The first condition is relatively simple. As long as I am a citizen of Daliang, unmarried men between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five can sign up! Those who do not meet the conditions will be eliminated!"
"Is it that simple? Hahaha, I am a citizen of Daliang. I am nineteen years old and not yet married. Can I sign up?"
A young man was immediately overjoyed, laughing and dancing in front of everyone, as if he had won the favor of the princess, married the princess, and reached the pinnacle of his life.
Many people in the crowd agreed with the first condition. They were also extremely happy. Although not as crazy as the young man above, they were still happy.
Since ancient times, some people are happy and some are sad. For example, some people in the crowd are either already married, or they are not of the right age. They have dark faces and shake their heads.
I'm afraid they have no fate with Princess Lanling!
Looking at those active young people, they can only envy them.
"Hahahahaha..."
Suddenly, a loud laughter overshadowed everything else. Everyone looked around and saw that it was a beggar in ragged clothes, limping up to the notice.
The beggar ignored everyone's strange looks and laughed and said:
"I didn't expect that I might become the princess's husband. Hahaha, if I can win the favor of the princess, my life will be worthwhile."
Everyone rolled their eyes.
Some even laughed and scolded: "Just you? Why don't you take a pee and take a picture yourself? How can our Princess Lanling fall in love with you with her fairy-like character? Just dream!"
"Hahahaha..." People laughed non-stop.
"What do you know? Although I am a beggar, I am also a citizen of Daliang. I am twenty-two years old and have not yet married a wife. In what way do I not meet the conditions for the princess to recruit a son-in-law?" The beggar showed no shame.
"Scholar, ignore this madman and quickly see what the second condition is!" someone in the crowd shouted.
The scholar under the notice stopped laughing, looked at the notice again, and said loudly:
"The second condition...the princess is a golden branch and jade leaf. She is extremely noble. How can ordinary people reach such high places?"
"The princess's consort must be capable of both literary and military skills, be a talented person, and be excellent in character and learning. Those with poor appearance, no skills, and bad character will be eliminated!"
"..."
This condition is no different than a basin of ice water falling from the sky, pouring a chill on the excited and excited young people.
For those with poor appearance, a large number of people should be wiped out first, and then all the people on the street should be wiped out directly.
They can't even read the notices and are illiterate at all. How can they be said to be capable in literature and military affairs?
The scholar who stood under the notice and interpreted it for everyone had a chance...
However, before everyone could express their opinions, the beggar in ragged clothes suddenly burst into tears, his voice shaking the sky, and everyone was shocked.
Just listen to the beggar cry:
"...Why am I so miserable? God is treating me unfairly! I finally got the chance to become the princess's husband, but...oh my God! You might as well kill me..."
"Get rid of this annoying guy, I feel upset just looking at him." Someone in the crowd shouted.
"Get rid of this beggar..." There were a lot of followers for a while.
These people all agreed with the first condition, but did not meet the second condition. They were about to feel sad, but they were overtaken by the beggar, which made them feel extremely uncomfortable.
Finally, the crying beggar was carried away, and the scholar under the notice continued to announce the third condition:
"Those who have passed the first two rounds of screening can take part in the literary test or the martial arts test according to their strengths, and the top ten will be selected, and then they will be tested by the Taiwei. The Taiwei will select six people and send them to the princess for her personal selection. .”
After hearing this, everyone was excited, but when they thought that it had nothing to do with them, they lost the energy they had before, and were just curious:
"Those who can get into the eyes of the Taiwei must be the best among men. But we are very curious, what is going on with the literary and martial arts examinations? Are they the same as the imperial examinations?"
The scholar replied: "The notice did not explain the details of the literary test and the martial arts test."
"That's it..."
People began to discuss heatedly again. Some people said that the previous literary and martial arts tests should have been okay, but they were afraid that no one in the world could pass the test of Taiwei.
As for Princess Lanling, she is pure and beautiful, and can only be viewed from a distance but not played with. Even if the Taiwei chooses a few people to present to the princess with his conscience, the princess will probably not like them.
…
Shortly after.
People's heated discussions once again spread to the princess mansion.
At that time, Su Xian and Lan Ling were still leaning on the beauty's couch.
Lanling is busy.
Su Xian is also busy...
However, no matter how delicious the food is, it will eventually get boring. Of course, it is not that you are tired of eating it again, but because you are full and lose your appetite in a short period of time.
Even when hunger strikes, delicious food still tastes delicious.
Su Xian was in this situation now. He sat there and studied Lan Ling's legs carefully for half an hour, and he gradually felt a little "full".
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Qiu Dianjun's voice came: "Princess Qi, Taiwei, the people on the street have another hot topic recently."
Lan Ling put down the paperwork, glanced at Su Xian who was paying no attention, shook his head, and loudly ordered outside the house: "You don't have to go into the house, just report it outside."
"yes."
Qiu Dianjun was not surprised at all. He cleared his throat and began to recount the hot topics of discussion among the people.
Su Xian turned a deaf ear on the surface, but quietly pricked up his ears.
He didn't have any reaction after hearing the hot topic in front of him.
But when Qiu Dianjun said, "The princess is pure and pure, unparalleled in beauty, and can only be viewed from a distance but not played with," his heart trembled and his hands trembled.
"Hiss..." Lan Ling took a breath of cold air and glared at Su Xian. The blow just now was neither serious nor serious, it hurt her.
Su Xian hurriedly smiled, then rubbed it gently with his hands, and finally interrupted Qiu Dianjun's words with a loud voice: "What did Qiu Dianjun say?"
There was silence outside the door, and only after a few breaths did Qiu Dianjun speak: "People say that Her Royal Highness the Princess is pure, pure, and unparalleled in beauty, and can only be viewed from a distance and not played with..."
"stop!"
Su Xian suddenly became more energetic, holding the baby and stroking it wildly, and shouted: "That's what you said just now, I didn't hear it clearly, please say it again."
"Uh... OK, people say that Her Royal Highness the Princess is pure and pure, and is unparalleled in beauty. She can only be viewed from a distance but not played with..." After Qiu Dianjun finished speaking, he asked thoughtfully:
"Lieutenant, did you hear clearly? If not, I can speak a few more times."
Su Xian was so ecstatic that he grinned from the corner of his mouth to his ears, carefully touched the pair of treasures in his arms, and replied at the top of his voice: "Then thank you so much Qiu Dianjun, well, you can say it first... a hundred times. !”
"one hundred……"
There was no sound outside the house.
The figure reflected on the door and window seemed to take two steps back...
Princess Lanling saw all this. At first she didn't think anything of it. She really thought Su Xian didn't hear it clearly, but it turned out...
Her charming face slowly turned dull, and she gradually understood Su Xian's thoughts——
The people in the city said that she was pure and pure, and could only be viewed from a distance but not played with, which showed that she had an unattainable, cold, and holy image in front of outsiders.
Such a woman, who is still a princess of the current dynasty, is simply too pure and pure. She should not be contaminated by the dust of the world, even just a little bit.
But in fact, in the eyes of outsiders, Her Royal Highness the Princess, who is pure and pure and can only be viewed from a distance but not played with, is here with Su Xian...
It's just the last step before they can become husband and wife!
Su Xian must be very proud of having occupied the holy, cold, and unattainable Princess Lanling in the eyes of the world... This should be the reason why Su Xian became more and more enthusiastic and made Qiu Dianjun say that sentence repeatedly.
After understanding this, Lan Ling suddenly felt unhappy. What did he take her for? Is he a tool that sets off Su Xian's power and tramples all the men in the world under his feet?
Her expression suddenly changed, and she glared at Su Xian who was holding her legs and having fun, then turned her head and ordered Qiu Dianjun outside:
"What...are you still standing there in a daze? Didn't you hear the command from the Lieutenant? Repeat what you just said a hundred times, immediately, immediately, quickly!"
"yes……"
Qiu Dianjun outside the house was all excited. He didn't dare to think too much at the moment, so he opened his mouth and said mechanically: "People say that Her Royal Highness the Princess is pure and pure, and is unparalleled in beauty. She can only be viewed from a distance and cannot be played with..."
Miyagi.
Royal study room.
Su Xian's "method of recruiting a son-in-law" has been sent to the Queen as soon as possible.
The Queen read it carefully and finally said with a smile:
"That's right. Although there is nothing new at first glance, I am quite looking forward to the literary and martial arts examinations. I will tell you to go ahead and handle them accordingly. There must be no mistakes!"
"According to the order." Nangong Wan'er accepted the order.
East Palace.
The prince, princess, Qian Zhongshu and others also read the full text of the notice.
Qian Zhongshu sneered at this and said mockingly:
"Lieutenant? Haha, in my opinion, the name is not worthy of the name. Is this the method he came up with to recruit a son-in-law? There is nothing strange about it!"
The Crown Princess frowned slightly, looked at the Prince and said, "Your Highness, although this method is not very unusual, if it is to be implemented, it will definitely take a very long time, which is very detrimental to us."
The prince looked at Qian Zhongshu, then at the princess, and finally felt that the princess's statement was more reliable, and said: "Then what is the reason for my beloved concubine?"
The Crown Princess shook her head: "His Majesty has given him full authority over this matter. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to intervene."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will go to the palace to see your Majesty and state the pros and cons. I believe that your Majesty will order Su Xian to shorten the time." Qian Zhongshu asked for orders.
"Then I'll pay Zhongshu a trip." The prince was very satisfied with this.
At that moment, Qian Zhongshu went to see the Queen and scolded Su Xian for delaying the wedding of Princess Lanling. Su Xian would be guilty of a big crime.
The Queen looked calm and replied: "I completely believe in Su Aiqing, and it doesn't matter if I waste some time, because I also want to find the best husband for my daughter."
When Qian Zhongshu heard this, he had no choice but to retreat angrily...
Not long after, this matter was reported to the princess mansion.
Known to Su Xian and Lan Ling.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. It seemed that the first step had been successful. As long as the Queen did not interfere, Su Xian had a lot of room for maneuver.
However, Lan Ling was still a little worried after all, and said to Su Xian: "The delaying strategy is just a delaying strategy after all. I hope this problem can be completely solved."
Su Xian was full of confidence and said with a smile: "Princess, don't worry, this plan can be delayed for half a month or even more than 20 days. During this period, I will definitely be able to find a perfect solution!"
"I believe in you." Lan Ling was really relaxed, and then smiled sweetly: "You have been here for most of the day, and I rely on you in everything. I can do whatever you want..."
Lan Ling nodded slightly, did not continue, and changed his words: "It's time to get down to business now."
"What the princess said is true. It's really time to get down to business."
Su Xian decisively bid farewell to Lanling. After returning to the mansion, he did not pause and immediately began to prepare for the "national draft".
He was a Taiwei of the current dynasty, with an official rank of up to the first rank, and still had real power. Once he wanted to do something, even the prime ministers had to do it, because the prime ministers were only of the third rank.
Furthermore, he is also the leader of the inner security department, and he also holds positions in the Prison Department and the Forbidden Army... The energy he can mobilize is simply not too great.
His orders and requirements were implemented vigorously and resolutely throughout the entire beam in a very short period of time.
Even a three-year-old child in the deep mountains and forests knows that Princess Lanling is about to recruit a son-in-law...
In the next half month, states, prefectures, and counties across the country simultaneously launched a "big draft". Its scale and influence were so large that it could be recorded in history!
