Chapter 434 Marriage Cannot Be Forced
"I have nothing to do in the mansion for the past two days. I chatted with the ladies of the aristocratic family." Xuanyuan Xi said with a smile, "Many ladies of the imperial capital have reached the age of marriage. Previously, due to the emperor's grandson, several noble ladies were The candidates for the crown prince stayed in the boudoir. After Xi'er ascended the throne, their marriage was naturally brought up. Because of Qi'er's marriage, the wives of each family became more and more worried about their daughters——"
"Aunt." Xuanyuan Yao understood what she meant, and his expression became a little tangled, "The surprise you mentioned is not that you want to propose marriage to me, right?"
Xie Jin, who was sitting aside, heard this and looked up at him casually, then calmly picked up a dumpling and put it into his mouth.
"It's not about marriage." Xuanyuan Xi said with a gentle smile, "It's just about holding a flower-viewing banquet in my mansion and inviting young men and girls from various families to come and have fun. If you have someone you like, I will take advantage of the opportunity to do it for you. I will inform your father, the queen, mother and concubine in a letter when the time comes."
What kind of surprise is this?
Xuanyuan Yaobai was so happy that he couldn't help but murmured: "It's not like I said I won't find a wife. Do I need to be in such a hurry?"
Xuanyuan Xi raised his eyebrows: "You don't want to?"
It's not that I don't want to, I just don't have the time.
Xuanyuan Yao thought about the task Rong Yu had just assigned him. Training soldiers was much more difficult than getting married. If the job was messed up because of a woman, how could he have the dignity to call himself a military commander?
Moreover, although we have not yet faced a major enemy, military generals are not as keen as civil servants in terms of the sense of power, but he is not a fool. Emperor Dongling is not the only one who is qualified to take the post of military general. The Lord gave him the opportunity. It is because of trust and respect, and also because the wealth and water do not fall into the hands of outsiders.
However, if he fails to live up to his expectations, the Lord will have no reason to protect him. Once the military power falls into the hands of other generals...
In short, for now, we should still focus on the overall situation, and the love between children and children should be put aside for the time being.
He is not like the master who has three heads and six arms. While he cares about me and me, he is affectionate, and at the same time he can handle government affairs in an orderly manner without delaying the official business at all.
So he said seriously: "Aunt, I am only nineteen years old this year. It is too early to marry now."
Is it early?
Xuanyuan Xi glanced at Xuanyuan Qi and said, "Qi'er seems to be the weakest this year."
Xuanyuan Qi nodded.
"Look, Qi'er is only one year older than you. He has a wife and a child."
"That's because Qi Shizi has had a sweetheart for a long time, and he wants to marry his sweetheart home and support him." Xuanyuan Yao said, "I am different from him."
Xuanyuan Xi was silent for a moment and nodded slowly, thinking that what he said made sense: "Then when do you think it's not too early to marry a wife?"
"Let's wait at least another three to five years." Xuanyuan Yao thought for a while, "The noble girls of the imperial family should get married, and there is no need to wait for anyone. The time in a girl's family is precious and cannot be wasted. When I want to get married, next time The little girls have grown up again, and I don’t have to worry about not being able to marry a beautiful girl.”
"What are you talking about?" Xuanyuan Xi laughed and cursed, "Do you still want an old cow to eat young grass?"
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yao glanced at Rong Yu subconsciously and said in a calm tone: "The Regent married His Majesty, who is sixteen years old, at the age of twenty-two. Is it considered an old cow eating young grass?"
Rong Yu stopped holding the dumplings, then raised his eyes slowly and looked over.
Xuanyuan Yao's eyes narrowed slightly, pretending to be calm.
"Rong Yu is good-looking and strong. He is a perfect match for me." Nan Xi smiled softly, "Prince Yao, if you can meet someone who makes you attracted in the future, age will not be a problem either."
"Thank you for your kind words, Your Majesty." Xuanyuan Yao said humbly, "I also hope to meet you soon."
Although he said this, he refuted silently in his heart. He would not be tempted by a woman. Emotions are the most harmful thing. Look at the harm the Lord has been doing all day long.
And Xie Jin, a grown man screams "Ah Yao" and "Yao Yao" all day long. Not only is he disgusting, but it also makes people think that he is a pretty boy who is eating soft food. I really don't know what he is like. .
"It seems that I have wasted all my efforts." Xuanyuan Xi sighed, "I also planned to find a beautiful and gentle girl to pamper you, but I didn't expect that you didn't want her."
Xuanyuan Yao quickly shook his head, determined not to.
He was sure that as long as he nodded, the ladies from the imperial family would flock over in a few days. After all, the current emperor was a woman, and it would be impossible for those noble ladies to enter the palace to serve the emperor. Marriage is about being from the right family. Most of the noble girls who are eligible to enter the palace come from a good family. When choosing a husband, you naturally have to choose someone with a good family background and good conduct.
In fact, there are not many suitable children among the royal clan. Xuanyuan Qi is already married, so don't think about the position of the head wife. Something has happened to Xuanyuan Yan of the Wei Palace, so it is not considered at all. The only one left is Yu Shizi of the Huaiwang family. , the prince Yao of the Wang family in Huainan.
The families of powerful ministers and nobles include Xie Jin, the son of the chief minister, the son of the prime minister, Mo Xuanwu, the son of the Mohist family, the legitimate son of the eldest son of the Su family, the two sons of the second son-in-law Su, and the sons of several cabinet lords.
There are quite a few men who can get married.
But which of the ladies from the imperial family is not a human spirit?
In addition to being well-matched, marriage must also consider the status in front of the Holy Emperor. If you are the favorite of the Holy Emperor, your status will undoubtedly increase. If you stand on the opposite side of the Holy Emperor, sooner or later you will be dead.
That's why during this period of time, ladies from various families rushed to visit the eldest princess, in order to find out the temperaments and preferences of Her Majesty the Queen and the Prince Regent, consciously or unconsciously, and to find out some trends so that they could choose a suitable husband for their daughter.
Otherwise, if you only find someone with a suitable family background, if you do something wrong in the future and are punished by the regent, it will be too late to regret.
"Actually, I think what mother said makes sense." Nan Xi said, "Although there are many gentle and beautiful girls in the imperial capital, this year is a special year. It cannot be said that they were delayed by Xuanyuan Yan, but it is true that many girls have stayed in the boudoir because of Xuanyuan Yan, ranging from sixteen or seventeen years old to fourteen or fifteen years old. If you look for it now, you can choose from all kinds of girls. After a few years, the girls of the right age will all be married, and you may not be able to find a suitable one so readily."
"Marriage cannot be forced, I am not in a hurry." Xuanyuan Yao shook his head, and suddenly a light flashed in his mind. He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Xie Jin, "Isn't Mr. Xie Jiu also not married? Since there are so many girls from the imperial capital's aristocratic families left, Your Majesty can just arrange a marriage for him."
In this way, he can save himself from saying some irresponsible words every day.
Xuanyuan Yao secretly thought that if there really was a woman who could control this evildoer, he would definitely applaud.
"Why does Prince Yao care about me so much?" Xie Jin raised his eyes to look at him, with a smile on his lips, "I have countless concubines in my backyard, do I need you to worry about my marriage?"
