Qin Feng once again glanced at Eunuch Li, this time the latter skimmed his eyes for some reason.
His face shows a torn look, not because he didn’t get Eunuch Li’s feedback, but because he has to introduce that cross-dresser to that guy, which is still quite a bad taste in his heart.
Qin Feng, who had reacted, couldn’t help but be slightly dismayed.
If a man and a woman get along for a long time, want to maintain a pure friendship relationship, there is only one possibility, that is, one of the parties is incredibly ugly.
Obviously, he and Ya An were not in this category
Qin Feng laughed to himself in his heart, “Eating what’s in the bowl and looking at what’s in the pot, could this be a common disease of men? It seems that I can’t fall into the common ways either.”
With this in mind, he clasped his fists and said, “Sorry, Your Majesty, I don’t have any good candidates here.”
Hearing this, Eunuch Li once again looked over, he had thought that it was Her Highness Ya’an’s unrequited love, but he didn’t realize that it was the groom’s love and concubine’s intention, but if he really let the Qin family’s brat marry Her Highness Ya’an, then I’m afraid that the Qin family would have to leap forward to become the most powerful family in Daqian.
The daughter of the Liu family’s military god, the dragon family’s Canglong lineage of women, plus the royal princess, just thinking about it can envy men all over the world, and the background involved behind these women is even more scalp numbing!
Emperor Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, his fingertips gently tapping on the paperwork, emitting a crisp sound: ”Aiqing Qin is the 36 stars within the Demon Beheading Division, and he must know quite a lot of people from the Demon Beheading Division.
In order to protect my Great Qian territory from demonic ghosts, the Demon Beheading Division can be described as hard-working, and I have also thought of pledging Ya An to the high quality warriors within the Demon Beheading Division as a way to express the royal family’s recognition and gratitude towards them.
What does Qin Aiqing think?”
Qin Feng didn’t think twice: “I don’t think so.”
“Why?”
“There is naturally no need to mention the contribution of the Demon Beheading Division to Da Qian, but they fight with demons and ghosts all year round, with half a foot inside the Ghost Gate, so in case there is an accident that results in them not being able to return, won’t it make Your Highness Ya An gloomy.
What’s more, the high-grade warriors within the Demon Beheading Division are basically all old, so I hope that Your Majesty will think twice.”
“That’s a valid point.” Emperor Ming nodded his head in approval, and then his words changed, “I remember that at the beginning of the founding of the Sword Dao Alliance, you and Liu Jianli were both present, and you also received a token gifted by Sword Emperor Bai Yan.
Speaking of this Sword Dao Alliance, I am also full of gratification, cultivating martial artists for the country of Da Qian, making Da Qian full of talents.
If I can betroth Ya An to the young talents of the Sword Dao Alliance, it would not be a bad choice.”
“This,” Qin Feng wanted to speak.
“And what’s wrong with that?” Emperor Ming was curious.
“Although there are quite a lot of young talents within the Sword Dao Alliance, they are in the end crude martial artists, with their minds set on cultivation and the Sword Dao.
What’s more, His Highness Ya’an cultivates the Wen Sheng Dao, so how can he have anything in common with these martial artists.
If we were to marry, I’m sure Your Highness wouldn’t be happy.”
“According to what Qin Aiqing said, finding a Wen Sheng Daoist would be a good match for Ya An?
If that’s the case, I do have some candidates in mind, such as Sun Qi, the second disciple of the Heavenly Supervisor.”
“The second disciple’s cultivation is profound, it’s just that his character is a bit eccentric.” Qin Feng spoke bluntly.
“What about third disciple Xu Lexian?” Emperor Ming added.
“Character is alright, but that looks” Qin Feng wanted to stop, it would be impolite to say more.
“That’s a good point.” Emperor Ming nodded slightly, “Yang Qian?”
“Regardless of his cultivation, appearance, and character, Senior Brother Yang is first class, but his age is a bit too different from Your Highness.” Qin Feng shook his head rather regretfully.
“In that case, it seems that the only candidate is Fi Zhuan.” Emperor Ming pondered.
Qin Feng sniffed and wanted to offer some counter-arguments, but after half a day of thinking in his head, he couldn’t find any shortcomings regarding Senior Fi Zhuan.
Cultivation, character, appearance, age, none of them were one in a million, the only thing worth criticizing was that somewhat arrogant and dark character.
But most readers are like that
What’s more, when it comes to arrogance and darkness, that female disguised as a male fellow is no less, especially with that eccentric streak on weekdays!
It seems to be a good match?
No, I should say it’s a perfect match!
Just as Qin Feng was getting entangled, Emperor Ming shook his head and said, “It’s still not a good idea, Fi Zhuan has everything going for him, but in the end, he was born from a humble family, without a title in his possession, he’s still not a good match for Ya An.”
Said here, the Ming Emperor can not help but sigh: “Want to find a Ya An match extra horse harnessed by the side of a team, really is not an easy thing.”
At this time, Eunuch Li, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up, “Your Majesty’s requirements are really too harsh, how could there be a man in the world who can fulfill so many requirements at the same time?
If he is a high-grade warrior within the Demon Beheading Division, he also has to be related to the Sword Dao Alliance, and he even has to cultivate the Wen Sheng Dao system.
Add to that cultivation, character, appearance, age, and a title, and it’s simply too difficult to . Hmm?”
“Hm?” Emperor Ming seemed to have come to a realization.
“Hm?” Qin Feng seemed to have reacted as well, aren’t these conditions adding up to him personally?
He looked up and realized that His Majesty and Eunuch Li were looking at him at the same time.
This . Qin Feng coughed dryly, “Your Majesty, I already have two mothers at home.”
Eunuch Li laughed, “Isn’t it unusual for a man to have three wives and four concubines?”
You don’t know what it’s like to be married to a couple of powerful women at home. Qin Feng retracted his eyes without a trace and said again: “But the position of the wife already belongs to Jian Li, Ya An is a princess, how can she be a concubine?”
This time, it was Emperor Ming who took the initiative to speak up, “Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan are both first-class wondrous women in the world, and I think no one would dare to say anything more if they were subordinate to the two of them.
What’s more, as long as you treat them equally, what difference does it make if they are wives or concubines?”
Things have come to this point, Qin Feng is also considered to understand, from the beginning, His Majesty and Eunuch Li is singing a double act, digging a pit for him to jump, it is clear that he wants to let him be the emperor’s son-in-law ah!
Seeing Qin Feng frozen there, half a day without responding, Emperor Ming snorted coldly and shot up: ”What? Is it possible that my Princess Ya’an is not worthy of you? Today, you must give me a satisfactory answer, or I will take your head!”
An emperor’s family was temperamental, but this was just Emperor Ming’s show, he was pressurizing Qin Feng!
Eunuch Li immediately whispered, “Prince Qin, don’t make a mistake!”
When Qin Feng heard this, he actually bowed and cupped his fists, refusing on the spot.
He reasoned, moved with emotion, recounted the bits and pieces of his acquaintance with the two ladies, as well as that experience of suffering together, and made it clear that he had already made a secret decision in his heart that he would not marry another girl.
Therefore, even though Her Highness Ya An was excellent, he did not dare to have any improper thoughts!
Eunuch Li heard these can not help but feel admiration, throughout the ages, there is no lack of some men in order to attach to the power and wealth, abandon the chaff of the wife, into the royal relatives.
And how many people in the world can be in front of His Majesty, to do so unassuming?
“It’s not without reason that Her Highness Ya’an would have her heart set on Duke Qin, it’s just that I don’t know how His Majesty would react.” With this in mind, Eunuch Li carefully looked ahead.
Emperor Ming looked at Qin Feng, his face expressionless, but in his heart, he was extremely satisfied with this statement from the other party.
Only such a character was worthy of entrusting him with Ya An.
“So, no matter what, it’s impossible for you to marry Ya An?” Emperor Ming asked indifferently.
Qin Feng took a deep breath, then said word for word, “Unless Your Majesty sends down an imperial decree granting the marriage, I will never agree!”
Emperor Ming and Eunuch Li both froze on the spot when they heard this. After Qin Feng left, Eunuch Li smiled and said, “That kid said so much, clearly still willing to marry.
Something like an imperial decree granting a marriage is no trouble at all for His Majesty.”
Emperor Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, “Why do you think he wants me to give the marriage by imperial decree?”
Eunuch Li pondered for a moment and said tentatively, “Perhaps he wants to give himself a leg up?”
Emperor Ming shook his head.
“Could it be because His Highness Ya’an has a noble status and he wants to make the most of his manners?”
Emperor Ming shook his head again and then spoke, “Within Fengtian City, legends about him are everywhere, could it be that you haven’t heard of them?”
Eunuch Li immediately replied, “Naturally I have heard of it, but Your Majesty, what does this have to do with his request for a decree to bestow a marriage?”
“Since you’ve heard of it, then you should know that that brat’s fear of the Lady has nearly become common knowledge.
Originally I didn’t believe it and thought it was much of an exaggeration, but now I see that it is simply more than that.”
Eunuch Li reacted and said in surprise, “The Qin family kid wants His Majesty’s holy decree to grant a marriage, could it be that it’s for his two ladies?”
Emperor Ming nodded, his expression somewhat helpless.
This was clearly a case of having the heart of a thief but not the guts, so he wanted to put the pot on his head!
Eunuch Li also froze on the spot, half a day not knowing how to express himself, and only after a long time did he sigh, ”Eunuch Qin, when it really is inscrutable.
Just your majesty, I still have one thing is not clear, why you suddenly to Ya’an temple’s marriage is so interested in?
You clearly hoped that she would be able to help you share some of your finances and political affairs earlier, and did not want her to get married too early.”
Since ancient times, imperial families have always favored sons over daughters, but this is very different in Emperor Ming.
If not, the original Ming Emperor would not have been able to hand over the important source of finances, the Jubao Zhai, to Ya An to take care of.
More likely in some important matters, ask Ya An’s opinion.
Emperor Ming replied, “What do you think of Qin Feng?”
Eunuch Li was slightly stunned, then returned, “It can be said that there is no one before or after him, and it is not impossible to replace the Heavenly Supervisor State Master in the future.”
You should know that in Da Qian, comparing a scholar to a Heavenly Supervisor is the highest evaluation.
Eunuch Li has been accompanying the king for many years, and his ability to be careful with his words has already reached its peak, and generally speaking, he will not speak too much.
But in front of His Majesty, he has more than once expressed this opinion, which is heartfelt admiration!
After all, looking back on Qin Feng’s arrival in Fengtian City, it would not be an exaggeration to call him a legend.
Inventing gunpowder, improving the Imperial Soldier’s Decision, and founding the Taiping Academy, all of these feats had led to an increase in the strength of the generals of the Great Qian Dynasty, and a skyrocketing growth in the number of Literary Saints of the Dao.
It is not an exaggeration to say that, in addition to His Majesty’s good governance, Qin Feng has also contributed to the continuous growth of the country’s fortunes in Daqian!
Of course, these thoughts will naturally only be placed in the heart of the Eunuch Li, the golden dragon eyes open such a big event symbolizes the supreme imperial authority, how can it be linked with outsiders.
But the Ming Emperor is straight to recognize that: “Great Qian national luck can be strong so far, Qin Feng is not to blame.
Ya’an is also devoted to him, in that case, early to set up this marriage also solve a piece of my mind, and”
The next words Ming Emperor did not say, but looked toward the scroll in the imperial study, looking at the above the sword that has not come out of the body, froze out of focus.
The words of the Heavenly Supervisor State Master echoed in his mind for a long time.
He would not blame Emperor Tian Xuan for his choice, being able to make the eight nine dragons open their eyes was enough to see what a remarkable figure this ancestor was.
Put yourself in his shoes, leaving the country’s prosperity is only one step away, and who would be willing to go to their own sacrifices to fulfill their descendants, this is with the hard work of building the well-being of the prosperity of the bowman want to let and what is the difference?
“Really to that time, I will do what choice?” Emperor Ming asked himself this in his heart, but he had no answer.
Towards the end of autumn, the sky darkens early, when Qin Feng returns to Qin House, it is already sunset.
Emperor Ming’s words in the imperial study were still echoing in his mind, making his mood quite complicated.
“If I see that guy at this moment, I really don’t know how to face her.” Qin Feng pinched his brow and couldn’t help but sigh.
“Don’t know how to face who?”
The door of the Qin Mansion is pushed open, and Ya An, who is wearing an elegant white dress, appears in front of her, her eyes glowing under the moonlight, and her skin is like jade, reflecting a warm luster.
Qin Feng had long known that Ya An was a beautiful woman, and under the random thoughts in his head, this beauty was even more intoxicating.
It was good that he glimpsed the flatness of the other party’s chest and quickly came back to his senses, and he could not help but show a look of regret in his eyes.
“What are you looking at?!” Ya’an snapped over, annoyed, and embraced his hands in front of his chest, but unfortunately did not squeeze out any curves.
Qin Feng coughed dryly, “I’m just curious, it’s so late, why haven’t you gone back yet.”
Because she hasn’t been seeing you Ya An converges the unnaturalness in her eyes and faintly says, “Qin Xiao and Qin Lan are too cute, and staying with them, I don’t realize that it’s this time of the night.”
“So that’s how it is, small children are all so powdered, if you really like it, why don’t you give birth to one on your own, when the time comes there’s for you to be upset.” Qin Feng said with a smile without thinking.
But the moment he said it, he regretted it.
“Interesting?”
“Not interesting.”
The two of them looked at each other silently, Ya An’s expression was as normal, she lifted the hair around her ears without any trace, covering the tips of her ears that were a little red because of the heat.
“Give me a ride?” After a few moments of silence, Ya An took the lead in breaking this silence.
Qin Feng immediately responds, “Good.”
When a princess traveled, she was naturally equipped with a carriage, which was located in the stables outside the old tavern.
Obviously, it was only a few blocks away, but the two of them extremely tacitly slowed down their pace and walked for a long time.
It wasn’t until they saw the Imperial Horseman, combing the mane of his steed in the stables, that they reacted to the fact that they had arrived at their destination.
After a simple goodbye, Qin Feng wanted to hit the road back to his home, but at that moment, he was called by Ya An.
“What’s wrong?”
Ya An asked softly, “To you, what kind of relationship are the two of us?”
Qin Feng was slightly stunned, “Naturally, we are close friends.”
Close friends? A trace of disappointment crossed Ya An’s eyes, this answer was expected but not the answer she wanted.
She lightly exhaled a breath, seemingly gathering her courage until she finally said, “But I, don’t want to just be your best friend anymore.”
