Qin Feng glanced at Eunuch Li again, but this time the latter looked away for some unknown reason.
He looked tangled, not because he didn't get feedback from Eunuch Li, but because he wanted to introduce a partner to the guy disguised as a man, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.
Qin Feng couldn't help but be slightly shocked when he reacted.
If a man and a woman have been together for a long time, if they want to maintain a pure friendship, there is only one possibility, and that is that one of them is extremely ugly.
Obviously, he and Ya'an are not among them...
Qin Feng laughed at himself: "Eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, is this a common problem among men? It seems that I am not out of the ordinary either."
Thinking of this, he clasped his fists and said, "Sorry, Your Majesty, there are no good candidates here for Wei Chen."
Hearing this, Eunuch Li looked over again. He thought it was His Highness Ya'an's unrequited love, but he didn't expect that it was Lang Youqing's concubine who was interested. However, if the Qin family's boy really married His Highness Ya'an, then the Qin family might be in trouble. Became the most powerful family in Daqian.
The daughter of the military god of the Liu family, a woman from the Canglong lineage of the Dragon Clan, plus the royal princess, can make men all over the world envy her just thinking about it, and the background behind these women is even more mind-numbing!
Emperor Ming raised his brows slightly, tapped the document with his fingers, and made a crisp sound: "Qin Aiqing is the thirty-sixth star in the Demon Slaying Department, and she must know a lot of people in the Demon Slaying Department.
The Demon Slayer Division has worked very hard to protect our territory from demons and ghosts. I have also thought about assigning Ya'an to the high-quality combat forces in the Demon Slayer Division to express the royal family's recognition and gratitude to them.
What does Qin Aiqing think?"
Qin Feng said without hesitation: "I think it's inappropriate."
"Why?"
"Needless to say the contribution of the Demon Slayer Division to Da Qian, but they have been fighting with demons and ghosts all year round, with half of their feet in the gate of hell. If an accident occurs and they are unable to return, wouldn't it make His Highness Ya'an very sad?
What's more, most of the high-quality combatants in the Demon Slayer Division are already old, so I hope Your Majesty will think twice."
"It makes sense." Emperor Ming nodded in approval, and then changed the topic: "I remember that when the Sword Alliance was first established, you and Liu Jianli were both present, and you also received the order given by Sword Emperor Bai Yan. Card.
Speaking of this Sword Alliance, I am also full of joy. It has cultivated warriors for the Daqian land and made Daqian full of talented people.
If Ya'an can be betrothed to young talents from the Sword Alliance, it would be a good choice."
"This..." Qin Feng stopped talking.
"What's wrong?" Emperor Ming asked curiously.
"Although there are many young talents in the Sword Alliance, they are all vulgar warriors who only focus on training and swordsmanship.
What's more, His Highness Ya'an practices Wensheng Taoism, so how can he have anything in common with these warriors?
If we get married, Your Highness will definitely not be happy."
"According to what Qin Aiqing said, a good match for Ya'an is to find a man of literary and sage principles?
If so, I do have some candidates in mind, such as Sun Qi, the second disciple of Tianjian Imperial Master."
"Second senior brother has a high level of cultivation, but his character is a little weird." Qin Feng said bluntly.
"Where is the third disciple Xu Lexian?" Emperor Ming asked again.
"My character is acceptable, but my appearance..." Qin Feng hesitated, as it would be disrespectful to say any more.
"That makes sense." Emperor Ming nodded slightly: "Yang Qian?"
"Senior Brother Yang is top-notch in terms of cultivation, appearance, and character. However, there is a big age difference with His Highness." Qin Feng shook his head with regret.
"In this case, it seems that Fei Xun is the only candidate." Emperor Ming thought thoughtfully.
Hearing this, Qin Feng wanted to put forward some rebuttals, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't find any shortcomings about Senior Brother Fei.
His cultivation, character, appearance, and age are all one-in-a-million. The only thing worthy of criticism is his somewhat arrogant and sinister character.
But most readers are like this...
What's more, when it comes to being arrogant and sinister, the guy disguised as a man is no less generous, especially with his usual yin and yang energy!
Seems like a good match?
No, I should say it’s a perfect match!
Just when Qin Feng was entangled, Emperor Ming shook his head and said: "It's still inappropriate. Fei Xun is okay, but after all, he was born into a poor family and has no title, so he is not a good match for Ya'an."
Having said this, Emperor Ming couldn't help but sigh: "It's really not easy to find a suitable consort in Ya'an."
At this time, Eunuch Li, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty's requirements are too strict. How can any man in the world meet so many requirements at the same time?
Not only must he have high-level combat power within the Demon Slayer Division, he must also be related to the Sword Alliance, and even practice the Wen Sheng Dao Tradition.
Coupled with the cultivation, character, appearance, age and title, it is simply difficult to ascend... huh?"
"Huh?" Emperor Ming seemed to be "suddenly enlightened."
"Huh?" Qin Feng seemed to have reacted. If these conditions were put together, wouldn't it be him?!
He looked up and found that His Majesty and Eunuch Li were looking at him at the same time.
This... Qin Feng coughed dryly: "Your Majesty, there are already two ladies in Wei Chen's family."
Eunuch Li smiled and said: "Isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines?"
It's nonsense. Without practice, you have no right to speak. You have no idea what it will be like at home if you marry several powerful wives... Qin Feng withdrew his gaze without leaving a trace and said again:
"But the position of the head wife already belongs to Jian Li, and Ya'an is a princess, so how can she be a concubine?"
This time, it was Emperor Ming who took the initiative to speak: "Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan are both extraordinary women of the highest rank in the world. No one would dare to say anything when they were subordinated to them.
What's more, as long as you treat them equally, whether they are wives or concubines, what difference does it make?"
At this point, Qin Feng finally understood that from the very beginning, His Majesty and Eunuch Li were singing a double act and digging pits for him to dance in. This was obviously to make him their consort!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Seeing Qin Feng standing there, without responding for a long time, Emperor Ming snorted coldly and stood up: "What? Is my Princess Ya'an not worthy enough?
You? Today, you must give me a satisfactory answer, otherwise I will take your head!"
The emperor's home is full of moodiness, but this is just Emperor Ming's performance, he is putting pressure on Qin Feng!
Eunuch Li immediately advised in a low voice: "Mr. Qin, don't make any mistakes!"
When Qin Feng heard this, he bowed and clasped his fists, refusing on the spot.
He spoke with reason and emotion, recounted every detail of his acquaintance with the two ladies and their shared experiences of adversity, and stated that he had already made a secret decision in his heart that he would not marry another girl.
So even though His Highness Ya'an is extremely outstanding, he doesn't dare to have any inappropriate thoughts!
Eunuch Li couldn't help but admire him after hearing this. Throughout the ages, there have been many men who abandoned their useless wives and married relatives of the emperor in order to cling to the powerful.
And how many people in the world can be so neither humble nor arrogant in front of His Majesty?
"His Royal Highness Ya'an would like Young Master Qin, either for no reason or because I don't know how His Majesty will react." Thinking of this, Eunuch Li looked forward cautiously.
Emperor Ming looked at Qin Feng with an expressionless face, but in his heart he was extremely satisfied with what the other party said.
Only this kind of character is worthy of entrusting him to Ya'an.
"So, no matter what, you can't marry Ya'an?" Emperor Ming asked calmly.
Qin Feng took a deep breath and then said word by word: "Unless your Majesty issues an imperial edict granting marriage, I will never agree!"
When Emperor Ming and Eunuch Li heard this, they were both stunned on the spot.
...
After Qin Feng left, Eunuch Li said with a smile: "After that guy said so much, he is obviously still willing to marry me.
For Your Majesty, such a thing as an imperial decree conferring marriage is effortless."
Emperor Ming raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why do you think he wants me to decree a marriage?"
Eunuch Li thought for a moment and tentatively asked, "Maybe you want to give yourself a step down?"
Emperor Ming shook his head.
"Is it because His Highness Ya'an has a noble status and he wants to fulfill his etiquette?"
Emperor Ming shook his head again and then said: "There are legends about him everywhere in Fengtian City. Have you never heard of them?"
Eunuch Li immediately replied: "Of course I have heard of it, but Your Majesty, what does this have to do with his request for a marriage?"
"Since you have heard of it, you should know that it is almost a common knowledge that that boy is afraid of his wife.
I didn’t believe it at first and thought it was an exaggeration, but now that I look at it, it’s even worse.”
Eunuch Li reacted and said in surprise: "The boy from the Qin family asked for a marriage from His Majesty, could it be to show his two ladies?"
Emperor Ming nodded, looking a little helpless.
This is obviously a traitor but not courageous, so I want to put the blame on his head!
Eunuch Li was also stunned on the spot, not knowing how to express himself for a long time. After a long time, he sighed: "Young Master Qin, you are really unpredictable.
It's just that Your Majesty, I still have something unclear. Why are you suddenly so concerned about His Highness Ya'an's marriage?
You clearly wanted her to help you with more financial and political affairs, and you didn't want her to get married too early."
Since ancient times, the imperial family has always favored sons over daughters, but this was completely different for Emperor Ming.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Emperor Ming to hand over Jubaozhai, an important source of finance, to Ya'an.
It is even less possible to ask Ya'an's opinion on some important matters.
Emperor Ming answered the question inappropriately: "What do you think of Qin Feng?"
Eunuch Li was stunned for a moment, then replied: "It can be said that there is no one before or since, and it is not a bad idea to replace Tianjian Guoshi in the future."
You must know that in Daqian, comparing scholars to Tianjian Imperial Master is the highest evaluation.
Eunuch Li has been with you all year round, and his ability to be cautious in his words and deeds has reached its peak. Generally speaking, he does not talk too much.
But in front of His Majesty, he has expressed such views more than once, and that is his sincere admiration!
After all, looking back on every detail of Qin Feng's arrival in Fengtian City, it is no exaggeration to call him a legend.
The invention of gunpowder, the improvement of military skills, and the establishment of Taiping Academy were all these feats, which increased the strength of Daqian's soldiers, and the number of literary saints also increased rapidly.
It is no exaggeration to say that Daqian’s current national destiny continues to be strong. In addition to His Majesty’s good governance of the country, Qin Feng is also indispensable!
Of course, Eunuch Li would only keep these thoughts in his heart. Important events such as the opening of the golden dragon's eyes symbolized the supreme power of the emperor. How could it be linked to outsiders?
But Emperor Ming bluntly acknowledged it: "Qin Feng is indispensable for the great prosperity of the country today.
Ya'an fell in love with him again. In this case, deciding on this marriage earlier would have solved one of my worries, and..."
Emperor Ming didn't say the next words, but looked at the scroll in the imperial study room, looking at the sharp sword on it that had not yet come out of the body, and was in a daze.
The words of the Imperial Master Tianjian were recalled in his mind for a long time.
He would not blame Emperor Tianxuan for his choice. Being able to open the eyes of the eight nine dragons was enough to show what an amazing person this ancestor was.
If you put yourself in someone else’s shoes, who is only one step away from leaving the country’s prosperous age? Who would be willing to use his own sacrifice to help future generations? What is the difference between this and the archer who wants to build a healthy and prosperous age?
"When that time comes, what choice will I make?" Emperor Ming asked himself in his heart, but he had no answer.
...
It was approaching the end of autumn and the sky was getting dark early. When Qin Feng returned to Qin Mansion, the sun was already setting.
Emperor Ming's words in the Imperial Study were still echoing in his mind, making him feel quite complicated.
"If I see that guy now, I really don't know how to face her." Qin Feng pinched his eyebrows and couldn't help but sigh.
“I don’t know who to face?”
The door of the Qin Mansion was pushed open, and Ya'an in an elegant white dress appeared in front of her. Under the moonlight, her eyes were bright and her skin was like jade, reflecting a warm luster.
Qin Feng had known for a long time that Ya'an was a woman of great beauty, and with random thoughts in his mind, this beauty made people even more intoxicated.
Fortunately, he caught a glimpse of the unremarkable figure on the other person's chest and quickly came to his senses, with a look of regret in his eyes.
"What are you looking at?!" Ya'an realized it and became angry. He crossed his arms in front of his chest, but unfortunately he didn't squeeze out any arc.
Qin Feng coughed dryly: "I'm just curious, it's so late, why haven't you gone back yet."
Because I haven't seen you... Ya'an suppressed the unnaturalness in his eyes and said calmly: "Qin Xiao and Qin Lan are too cute. Staying with them, it's this time before you know it."
"I see, children are so pretty. If you really like it, why don't you have one? You will be upset when the time comes." Qin Feng said with a smile without thinking.
But the moment he said it, he regretted it.
"Is this interesting?"
"It's boring."
The two looked at each other quietly, Ya'an's expression was as usual, she lifted the hair around her ears without leaving a trace, covering the tips of her ears that were a little red due to heat.
"Give me a ride?" After a moment of silence, Ya'an was the first to break the silence.
Qin Feng immediately responded: "Okay."
When the princess travels, she is naturally equipped with a carriage, which is located in the stable outside the old restaurant.
Although they were only a few streets apart, the two of them slowed down their pace in perfect agreement and walked for a long time.
It wasn't until they saw the royal groom combing the horse's mane in the stable that they realized they had arrived at their destination.
After a simple farewell, Qin Feng wanted to go home, but was stopped by Ya'an at this moment.
"What's wrong?"
Ya'an asked softly: "To you, what is the relationship between the two of us?"
Qin Feng was slightly startled: "Of course we are close friends."
Friends... A trace of disappointment flashed in Ya'an's eyes. This answer was within her expectation, but it was not the answer she wanted.
She let out a breath, seemingly trying to gather her courage, and finally said, "But I don't want to be just your good friend anymore."
