The daughter of the general who defended the country was not granted marriage as expected, but was instead granted the title of county lady - Qingping County Lady. This decision was unexpected, but the reason was not difficult to understand - her exquisite and majestic sword dance seemed to bring everyone back to the thrilling time several years ago, when the foreign country invaded and our army suffered heavy casualties, with more than 100,000 soldiers buried in a foreign land.

"I am very pleased. The daughter of the great general is as capable as any man!" The emperor was delighted and praised her generously. His eyes showed his admiration for the woman, as well as a hint of emotion.

The ministers present echoed the words, and they were also moved by the soul-stirring sword dance, and could not help but recall the years of war. Now seeing the grace of this woman, everyone felt relieved, as if they saw the hope for the future of the country.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xue Ning, the daughter of the great general, knelt down to thank him. Her voice was clear and melodious, like a yellow oriole singing in a valley. At this moment, her heart was filled with gratitude, because the emperor's reward to her was really too generous.

As time went by, the full moon banquet gradually came to an end. Many ministers stood up and took their leave, returning to their respective residences. The Hall of Supreme Harmony, which was originally very lively, became much quieter at this moment. Only members of the royal family, including several princes and several uncles, were left in the hall.

King Qi smiled and looked at King Xuan with a playful look, his tone of voice clearly mocking: "Brother, it seems that Miss Xue is deeply loved by our father! I'm afraid all those little plans you made before will come to nothing." As he spoke, he patted King Xuan's shoulder with a gloating look.

King Xuan's expression changed slightly, but he soon regained his composure. He sneered and counterattacked, "Third brother, please don't talk nonsense. I just admire Miss Xue."

Upon hearing this, the King of Qi couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Royal brother, Royal brother, please stop deceiving yourself. Everyone can see that the emperor is very fond of Miss Xue!"

King Xuan's face changed slightly, but he soon regained his composure. He said calmly, "Don't talk nonsense, Third Brother. I just admire Miss Xue's talent and have no improper thoughts."

Prince Duan was still young, and he asked innocently, "Why did my brother ask me to find out what Miss Xue likes before?"

King Xuan glared at him and said, "What do you know, little kid? I am just concerned about my subjects."

King Kang remained silent, thinking secretly in his heart. This Xue Ning is indeed extraordinary. If he can be used for his own benefit... His mouth slightly raised, and a plan formed in his mind.

"However, since Miss Xue has been conferred the title of county princess, I am sure that many young talents will come to propose marriage to her in the near future." Prince Kang suddenly said.

A barely perceptible gloom flashed across King Xuan's eyes. He smiled in a nonchalant manner and said, "Of course, such an outstanding woman will surely be pursued by many men."

Seeing this, the King of Qi secretly laughed in his heart. He deliberately fanned the flames and said, "I wonder if my brother is also interested in Miss Xue? If so, you must act quickly, otherwise I'm afraid someone else will get there first."

"Don't make fun of me, third brother." King Xuan said somewhat displeased, "Marriage is a matter of fate, how can it be forced?"

However, King Xuan's heart was in turmoil, which was completely different from what his seemingly calm appearance showed. Because he knew that Xue Ning, who was so famous and respected, would inevitably become the target of everyone's coveted attention. Therefore, he knew that he had to find a unique way to stand out among many fierce competitors and win her heart.

Therefore, King Xuan made up his mind and quietly sent his men to investigate Xue Ning's interests and hobbies as well as her daily whereabouts, hoping to get to know her more comprehensively in this way.

At the same time, he also began to actively plan and implement a carefully designed plan to pursue Xue Ning...
