Hunting system, and I ended up becoming the empress!

There was a timetable on the wall of the academy, which stipulated the time for dismissal. Since it was the first day and everyone was still excited, they all followed it and no one left early.

When Xiao Zhixing returned home from school, Xiao Yuanshan already knew the news outside. He hurried over after she had listened to Bai Mei's report.

"My daughter, Daddy doesn't have that idea!" He almost swore to the sky to make his attitude clear.

Xiao Zhixing felt puzzled and indeed wondered if Xiao Yuanshan had this idea.

"Didn't she leave any will telling you how to arrange my marriage?" Xiao Zhixing deliberately lied to him.

Xiao Yuanshan shook his head, "No, not at all. Granny Li only entrusted you to me, and didn't say your mother left any message."

Xiao Zhixing snorted, "Now that you are my father, what do you think about my marriage?"

Xiao Yuanshan came over and sat down, grinning, "Dad doesn't have any ideas, it's up to you to make the decision, my girl. If, if you really want to find a son-in-law, let's choose carefully."

"We don't want those fair-faced scholars, those who are too smart and cunning, those with bad intentions, those with too good family backgrounds, and those who are sweet-mouthed but bitter-hearted."

Don't choose someone who is so heartless.

Xiao Zhixing: You are pointing at Zhao Yunqi as a negative example.

She shook her head, "Okay, I'm not interested in finding a man as your daughter."

Xiao Yuanshan was choked, "This, this..."

Girl doesn't want a man? Is it because she hasn't gotten the hang of it yet? Oh, don't be scared by the lessons of the past, there are still good men in the world.

She is the only child in the Xiao family, so we have to leave behind descendants.

His thoughts were clear on his face, and Xiao Zhixing was speechless for a rare moment.

"Father, you should think about how we should respond if His Majesty wants to grant me a marriage."

Xiao Yuanshan's expression changed immediately, his eyes gleaming with brilliance, "Don't worry, if he dares to match you up with someone else, I will reject him even at the risk of my own life!"

"It hasn't reached that point, but the person he is referring to might be unusual..."

It will only happen after the plan to select the crown prince is finalized.

Unfortunately, she wouldn't let that happen. Even if she wanted a man, she would have to find one willingly.

Xiao Yuanshan thought, why is it unusual?

After sending Xiao Yuanshan away who had diverted his attention, Xiao Zhixing asked Yin Yi to investigate the matter.

"Master, there are some clues. The person behind this is from another country."

The first thing Xiao Zhixing thought of was the Northern Barbarians.

Many people in the live broadcast room also thought so.

【Yellow barrage: I remember An Wuxi and Xiao Kui mentioned the prince's coming of age, could it be that they were the ones spreading the news?】

[Red Barrage: Why? Can this rumor force the prince to find a son-in-law now? Who should he find? What benefit will it bring to the Northern Barbarians if the prince finds a son-in-law?]

【Yellow barrage: Yes, do you want the prince to get married and have children so that he can be burdened by the family? Ha, funny, right?】

【Green barrage: No, no, what we can find out may not be the real mastermind behind the scenes. I still suspect Zha Zha Qi.】

[Red Barrage: Again, what's the point? It's perfectly normal for a prince to get married and have children. Is it necessary to spread the news that she will definitely find a son-in-law? What's their starting point? ]

[Red Barrage: Don’t you guys on the third plane know the history? You can’t guess it? ]

[Yellow barrage: I mentioned that a lot of historical materials were lost among us, so how could we know these little things? I can’t spoil the rest. ]

Xiao Zhixing was in deep thought and suddenly thought of the imperial examination next spring.

Looking for a son-in-law? Hoping to find a student with a humble family background? Is there any connection between the two?

She was cautious and asked Yin Yi and his men to continue to keep an eye on the streets, especially the students who were coming to Beijing to take part in the Spring Examination.

She put the matter aside for the time being and just asked people to continue investigating. The rumors outside will eventually pass.

Unexpectedly, the next day at the imperial court, after the usual discussion, Zhao Yunqi suddenly called her, "Yuansheng, you have reached the age of marriage, do you have any idea about your marriage?"

Xiao Zhixing raised his head and met his calm gaze. "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am still young and have never thought about marriage."

Xiao Yuanshan was originally daydreaming, but immediately his nerves tensed up.

Zhao Yunqi smiled and shook his head, "You are still not smart, child. Since ancient times, people can talk about marriage when they reach the age of marriage. If it were me, you can choose any man in the world. If you find one you like, report it to me and let me see if he is a good match for you. Then I can grant you a marriage."

Xiao Yuanshan stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I only have one daughter. I am begging you for a favor."

Zhao Yunqi smiled, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Yuanshan cupped his hands and said, "I would like to ask Your Majesty to allow my daughter to choose her own marriage. This is my only wish now. I just hope that she can find a husband that she likes and is obedient."

All the ministers in the audience pricked up their ears. Here it comes, here it comes. They were waiting to see how the emperor would respond.

Xiao Zhixing also stared at the emperor.

Zhao Yunqi glanced at her with a smile, "It is precisely because she is your only daughter and a close minister to me that I care about her. Her marriage cannot be taken lightly, and I am very willing to help her."

He smiled like Maitreya Buddha, "Don't worry, I won't randomly match couples, but I must carefully help to select her husband. My dear minister, you won't stop me from being a good person, right?"

Everyone thought, what the emperor meant by screening and selecting was that he himself wanted to find a husband for Xiao Zhixing, right?

Your Majesty... is he trying to control Xiao Zhixing's marriage? Does he have any plans?

When Xiao Yuanshan heard this, dark energy emanated from his entire body.

Xiao Zhixing suddenly sneered, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I have a bad temper and was born to be unlucky for my mother, and I may also be unlucky for my husband in the future..."

"Girl!" Xiao Yuanshan stopped her in fear. Is it okay to say such things? Does she want to be an old aunt for the rest of her life?

Oh my god, oh my god, is this to make the Xiao family extinct? How can he face the late emperor when he goes down? !

Xiao Zhixing insisted, "Father, I know what I'm talking about. I am your daughter and I am willing to do something like losing my husband. If I don't want to get married, no one can force me. If you want to give it a try, come on."

He looked at Zhao Yunqi with a cold gaze, full of stubbornness.

Zhao Yunqi smiled bitterly, looking helpless, "Why are you doing this? If you don't want to get married now, we are not in a hurry. If you really meet your sweetheart in the future, what you said today will be a bit too much."

Xiao Zhixing's face dropped, and the faint cold air froze the ministers beside him and they stepped back silently.

The emperor seemed to have mentioned the matter casually and then announced his adjournment of the court.

Just as he turned around, Xiao Zhixing had already rushed out of the Qiansheng Hall with his robe flying before him.

Everyone: Get used to it! They will have to get used to it in the future!

The emperor turned around and watched her walk out, and seemed to smile and shake his head, without any blame or anger in his heart.

The ministers shuddered inexplicably.

Xiao Yuanshan lowered his eyes, expressionless.

[Red Barrage: Could it be that the emperor really spread this rumor about recruiting a son-in-law? Is his method so despicable? ]

[Green barrage: You guys also said Xiao Zhixing might be his daughter, but this seems a little strange to me.]

[Yellow barrage: Isn't that weird? Like a madman, you provoke our prince anytime and anywhere! ]

[Red barrage: This emperor is indeed the strongest son-in-law. Xiao Yuanshan’s defeat was not unfair. He is no match for him.]

Xiao Zhixing stormed out of the hall and was about to ride out of the palace when Eunuch Fulu chased after him, "Prince Yuansheng, please wait a moment, please wait a moment, Nanny Song is here, and the Queen Mother wants to see you."
