Chapter 97 Finding the Future County Horse

Rongan's statement made Emperor Wu pause for a moment. He wanted to say something fair for these aristocratic children, but he really couldn't give an example to justify them, so he could only swallow the words that came to his lips.

When Emperor Wu was just a prince, he and Princess Rongan's father, Marquis Changming, played together all day long, read together, rode horses and hunted together. They were brothers and sisters and had a deep relationship. Later, when he succeeded to the throne, Marquis Changming volunteered to share Emperor Wu's worries and went through the most difficult times. Beiguan, guarding one side for him.

Now that Marquis Changming is gone, Emperor Wu will devote all his feelings to his old friend to his only daughter Rongan, and naturally regard him as his own. Rongan's status in his heart is no less than that of the princess in the palace, and he even treats Rongan's Pride is better than a princess.

Emperor Wu helplessly shook his head, waved his hands, and said, "Never mind, never mind, recruiting a son-in-law is a major event, and it is really not a trivial matter. I will help you choose another candidate."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

At this time, Emperor Wu suddenly remembered what Eunuch Liu seemed to have said just now. It seemed that he had known for a long time that Rong An did not have a favorite son-in-law in this recruitment. Could it be that Rong An really had someone in his heart?At first he didn't say anything careless, but now Emperor Wu became interested.

"There is no one you like in the candidates I selected for you. Does Rong An already have a candidate in his heart?"

Rong An settled down for a while, and there was a hint of charm in the originally calm water.

Who is Emperor Wu? How could these little tricks escape his eyes? Emperor Wu smiled and said, "Tell me which family the young master is from. What an honor it is to be in the eyes of our Rongan."

Rong An showed a shy look on his face, and only for a moment, his cherry red mouth slightly curled up, "Rong An still doesn't know which family he is from."

Emperor Wu's eyes widened slightly, with a look of surprise on his face, then he slowly narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Do you need me to help you?"

"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness. Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, so don't bother Your Highness to worry about such trivial matters as Rong An."

Rong An lukewarmly refused Emperor Wu's help, and Emperor Wu couldn't say anything more.

Emperor Wu exchanged some pleasantries with Princess Rong'an, such as whether you are used to living in Chang'an, whether it is different from Beiguan, whether the food is good, etc.Like an elder who cares about the life of his younger generation on a daily basis.

Rongan walked out of the hall and put on his veil. Qiao'er, who had been waiting outside the hall, jumped over and said, "Princess, Princess, what did the emperor tell you? He didn't blame you, right?"

"No."

"Could it be that what you said worked? Now there are rumors in Chang'an City that you have fallen in love with that boy." At this point, Qiao'er pouted in dissatisfaction and tilted his head, "You've got an advantage over that boy. It's obvious that you have taken advantage of him." The result is, huh, Princess, you are so beautiful, why do you not let me argue for you when they slander you?"

Rongan's tone was calm, and he raised the corners of his eyes lightly, "The appearance is just a skin, it doesn't matter. Besides, whether I am beautiful or ugly will not change if they talk about it, so why bother to defend me."

Qiao'er held her mouth shut, her pink and baby-fat little face was pouty, and Xiao Suibu followed behind, "The princess should also show those noble children when recruiting a son-in-law, what kind of country our princess is. You are so beautiful, blinding their dog eyes. But you, the son-in-law is also wearing a veil."

Qiao'er got angry when he said this. Their princess was obviously a beautiful woman who captured the whole country, but those so-called famous gentlemen avoided their princess like a plague and secretly talked about her weird personality. He looks ugly and makes him angry just thinking about it.But what's the use of her being angry? Their princess isn't angry, she just acts like you do what you say, and I do mine.

Rong An remained silent, chatting non-stop with Qiaoer around, she was used to this Qiaoer, she was like this since she was a child, talkative, kind-hearted, and straightforward.

"Now everyone is spreading rumors that Princess Rong'an of Beiguan said by name that the boy would not marry. You said it yourself. What do you think should we do? Qiaoer knows that at that time you just wanted to find a reason to reject those incompetent and pretentious people. Noble son, but you can't take your own reputation with you."

Rong An, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stopped and said to Qiaoer, "That sentence is not an excuse, I mean it."

"Are you serious?" Qiao'er was stunned, her big eyes blinked twice, her little head was running at high speed to ponder the meaning of the princess's words. Rongan in front of her pursed her lips and smiled, and continued to walk forward. Qiaoer was still dumbfounded.

Suddenly Qiaoer opened her mouth wide, as if she understood something, "Princess, wait for me, wait for me."

"Princess Princess, go and tell the emperor and ask him to grant you a marriage, so that boy won't be able to run away."

Rongan raised his hand and tapped Qiaoer's head gently, "You are so unreserved at such a young age."

Qiao'er covered her head and pouted, followed beside her.

Rongan said what he said yesterday because he needed an excuse under the circumstances. Huo Guang happened to be passing downstairs with the army.

But there were many people in the army. Rongan didn't point at others, but pointed at Huo Guang. It was not impulsive.

Rong An didn't know Huo Guang, but she knew Huo Qubing. Of course, she knew that the army walking downstairs was soldiers who had just returned from defeating the Huns in triumph, and someone who could walk beside Hussar General at a young age was definitely not taking it easy. Let's not talk about his character, but he is definitely a brave warrior.

Rong An was born as a military strategist, so of course he admired and cherished those who practiced martial arts even more.

Then there's Huo Guang's appearance. Rongan grew up in Beiguan. This was the first time he saw such a handsome man, and he couldn't help but feel a little shaken.

Rongan recalled in his mind the figure of Huo Guang passing downstairs wearing a black armor and a horse on his crotch. He unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth and showed a charming face.

Qiao'er heard that the princess was really moved by the boy who passed by that day, and jumped up and down happily, as if she had found a good man, "You are right, we can't find the emperor so quickly, we We need to find out about his situation first, who is his name, where he lives, and who is there in the family. Seeing that they passed by with the army that day, they must be soldiers, and we don’t know the official position. We have to inquire about all of them. clear."

Rong An remained silent and continued to walk forward.

Qiao'er tilted her little head while talking and thinking, her small mouth kept muttering, "Also, the most important thing is how well he knows martial arts. Our future county horses in Beiguan must be good at martial arts and have good knowledge. Looks good too."

"Tell me, should we disguise ourselves and follow him to see where he frequents, whether he is a drunkard and a womanizer, what kind of friends he usually has, and whether he has any bad habits," Qiaoer said. Non-stop, no intention of stopping.

"Qiao'er, your earring fell off."

Qiaoer yelled, this pair of earrings was given to her by the princess on her birthday this year. It was her favorite pair of earrings. Qiaoer looked panicked and quickly touched her ears.

"The earrings are here, they haven't fallen off. Hey, princess, wait for me!"
