The loyal ministers he wants are like Xiao Chengyi, who are unmoved by fame and fortune.
Yuan Hao patted Xiao Chengyi's shoulder and said loudly: "Okay, I didn't misjudge the person. It's getting late. You can go back."
Xiao Chengyi said goodbye, turned around and left.
As soon as he left, Yuan Hao sighed lightly, with some regret in his tone: "It's a pity that such a good son, my Jiahe, doesn't have this blessing."
As he said that, he asked Xuan Du: "Who among the young talents in the capital do you think is worthy of my Princess Jiahe? What about Wang Zefang, the second best student in the new department?"
Xuan Du felt a little unhappy. He finally settled the marriage issue for Xiao Chengyi, but he didn't expect that there was someone else, and Yuan Hao didn't consider him at all.
He shouldn't have listened to Xiao Chengyi's nonsense and become such a national teacher. If he had known this, he might as well have taken the top exam and maybe he could have caught Yuan Hao's eye and recruited him as his son-in-law.
It was too late to say anything now. He only hoped that Xiao Chengyi could oust Yuan Hao early so that he could marry Aluan.
Xuan Du suppressed the annoyance in his heart and said calmly: "The Wang family's young master is not bad, but the Wang family has declined after all. I'm afraid the princess will be ridiculed if she marries him."
Yuan Hao raised his eyebrows and felt that what he said was reasonable. The Wang family and the General's Mansion were related by marriage, but the Wang family had faded out of the capital due to what happened that year, so they were indeed not a good candidate.
Looking around the capital, apart from Xiao Chengyi, there is no son with a good family background, good looks, and good character who is worthy of Princess Jiahe.
Xuan Du was afraid that Yuan Hao would mess up the mandarin duck book again and simply said: "The princess is a beautiful girl from heaven and has great blessings. She will meet her good match, so your majesty doesn't have to worry.
What you should do now is to relax your mind and not worry too much about anything, otherwise it will be detrimental to your practice, and how can you talk about immortality."
Yuan Hao nodded, not thinking too much, and concentrated on meditating to practice his immortality technique.
After Xuandu comforted Yuan Hao, he withdrew, but instead of going back to his residence, he headed towards Yuan Jiahe's Fanghua Palace in a familiar way.
Yuan Jiahe had already fallen asleep. In a daze, she felt someone touching her face. When she opened her eyes, she saw Xuan Du standing guard in front of the couch.
She felt joyful and stretched out her hand to hook his neck and said, "I thought you wouldn't come today."
Xuandu said: "Your Majesty left Xiao Chengyi to play chess in the palace today. He was a little late." As he said that, he held Yuan Jiahe in his arms and said in a low voice: "The marriage issue has been resolved, you can rest assured."
After hearing this, Yuan Jiahe's heart finally returned to her stomach. She looked at Xuandu and asked, "Then can I marry you now?"
Xuandu's heart sank and he said nothing.
Yuan Jiahe asked uneasily: "What's wrong? But my father plans to marry me to someone else again? Or does he want to send me to get married again?"
Xuan Du's eyes narrowed and he lowered his head to kiss her lips, entangled with hers.
Yuan Jiahe clearly felt that Xuandu was different from before in his enthusiasm, as if he was venting something?
She was so dazed by his kiss that she could only hear Xuandu's deep voice: "I won't let you marry anyone but me!"
