C144 They had taken a liking to him …

When Xuanyuan Jinger heard the news that Xuanyuan Mo had already given the order, she was angry, but there was nothing she could do about it. After all, as Xuanyuan Mo's daughter, she should have shared the responsibility for him.

Seeing how Xuanyuan Mo had so domineeringly already made a decision without the slightest concern for her feelings, he finally understood that Xuanyuan Mo calling his over was just to inform his, and not to give his a choice.

After thinking it through, Xuanyuan Jinger looked at Xuanyuan Mo and said, "Since royal father has already made a decision for Jing Er, then we only need to get someone to tell me one thing. There's no need to make Jing Er make such a big trip, and royal father, you don't need to spend so much effort to personally tell me. Jing Er doesn't have the right to oppose this, right? "

After Xuanyuan Jinger finished speaking, she did not give Xuanyuan Mo a chance to speak. She immediately told him, "Father, then regarding the selection of Prince Consort, please take your place. Your daughter's body is slightly unwell, and she will take her leave first."

After saying that, Xuanyuan Jinger turned and walked out.

Looking at the figure of his daughter leaving, Xuanyuan Mo thought that because he made his own decision without discussing with her, Xuanyuan Jinger was sad. Although this daughter of her was always sensible and obedient, she doted on her a lot.

However, in order to find a useful person to help him, he wanted to use the name of Prince Consort.

I am truly sorry for the Xuanyuan Jinger I have always doted on, for doing this sort of thing that is beneficial to me but also harms Xuanyuan Jinger.

Even if Xuanyuan Mo had the intention to go back on his words, as a monarch, he had to keep his word.

How could he go back on his words so easily!?

"Sigh, forget it. Since we've already started, let us continue on our mistakes." With this thought, Xuanyuan Mo turned around and returned to his seat, allowing the palace maids and eunuchs to withdraw.

The last eunuch to leave, and also the eunuch who stayed the longest by Xuanyuan Mo's side, truly felt sorry for him when he saw him sitting alone on the chair after he closed the door.

When the soldier pasted the announcement that the emperor was going to recruit a Prince Consort for Xuanyuan Jinger onto the wall, the streets and alleyways instantly boiled over.

If he could take advantage of this opportunity, he might be able to achieve great things and work harder for a few more lifetimes.

When the nobles in the capital who had yet to take a wife heard that the Emperor was going to make a consort for their daughter, they were all extremely excited.

If she were to think about it …

To be able to become a Prince Consort in a single leap, that was definitely an incredible feat. Therefore, they made some preparations to participate in the arena battle.

Less than three days had passed since the announcement, and more than a few people had come to participate. Xuanyuan Mo knew that there would definitely be people who would try to take advantage of him.

Therefore, he couldn't affect his daughter's future life just because he made a mistake. However, he didn't have any way to determine who really had the ability, so he had to carefully consider it and not hurt his daughter's heart again.

The old eunuch, who stayed by Xuanyuan Mo's side the longest, came to bring tea for him. When he was about to leave, Xuanyuan Mo asked: "What do you think we should choose? This is, after all, an opportunity given to us by our only daughter. "

When the old eunuch heard this, his mouth moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he did not say it. Xuanyuan Mo could also have thought of the old eunuch's worries and so he opened his mouth to speak.

"Right now, just think of it as the two of us casually chatting. After following me for so many years, I still believe in you. So, no matter what you say, just say it. There's no need to worry."

"The Emperor treats this servant well, this servant already knows in his heart that since Master has said so, then I shall say it as well. Please don't blame this servant for being unreasonable."

After the old eunuch finished speaking, he saw Xuanyuan Mo nodding his head and agreeing with him.

"This servant knows that all of master's actions are for the princess' own good, and it is definitely beneficial for the country. Of course, I know that master definitely doesn't want to hear these pretentious words, so this servant will not act rashly today, and say what I think."

After the Old Eunuch said this, he paused for a while. Xuanyuan Mo saw that the Old Eunuch had stopped speaking, and then he closed his eyes and said, "Say it, I forgive you."

This time, the eunuch no longer had any worries in his heart, "Alright, thank you for your forgiveness, master. Then this servant will talk about my clumsy opinion."

And then he continued, "Today, the Third Marquis' power is growing stronger and stronger, and his followers are not few, and although the Young Prince has the power to suppress the Third Marquis, he is still a child with limited power. And although the Crown Prince is the heir to the throne, he doesn't have any achievements.

Just as the old eunuch was about to say something, he heard Xuanyuan Mo coughing and thought he had offended someone he shouldn't have said. He kneeled on the ground in fear and said, "This servant deserves to die, this servant deserves to die."

Seeing the Old Eunuch's reaction, Xuanyuan Mo could not help but find it funny. "I only have a dry throat and an unbearable itch, I just coughed once, your analysis is very thorough, I do not have any intention of berating you, you can stand up and continue."

After the old eunuch heard Xuanyuan Mo say this, he also suppressed his restless heart. After he organized his thoughts, he continued with what he had just said:

"The current situation is very complicated. It's hard to say when it will suddenly erupt, so there are two reasons why I have to find a prince consort at this time."

Xuanyuan Mo heard the old eunuch say that he had two reasons to choose Xuanyuan Jinger's prince consort, but when he saw that the eunuch wanted to speak, he could not help but ask curiously. "What's good about you, why didn't you tell me when you had aroused my curiosity?

The old eunuch thought that he had said something to the point of being excited. He smiled and said, "How could this servant dare to joke around with master? I would rather master not joke around with me."

After Xuanyuan Mo heard the Old Eunuch's words, he did not continue to joke around. "Alright, I won't make you laugh, you can speak whatever you want."

The old eunuch bent over slightly, "The emperor has chosen to give the princess a consort during this chaotic time. Firstly, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to find a talent that can be used by his master, and thus, there is no need to rely on the third prince for political matters. In any case, the crown prince isn't good at cultivating a talent, so he might as well help his master maintain order within the palace."

After the old eunuch finished speaking about the first reason, he raised his head and glanced at Xuanyuan Mo.

However, Xuanyuan Mo did not seem to be angry, after thinking for a while, he continued: "The second reason is that the princess is Master's daughter, so of course she is the first one that is considered in my heart, so Master can use this chance to pick out the person that you can rest assured. If there is any trouble in the future, the princess will have at least one person that can take care of her."

After hearing what the old eunuch said, Xuanyuan Mo unconsciously let out a sigh of relief as well, "Sigh, as expected, you still understand me. It's fortunate that you're beside us right now, otherwise, I wonder what would have happened."

The eunuch smiled but did not say anything, "Your guess is right. I do have these two plans, Jing'er is pure and kind, although she seems to be on good terms with Zhan'er personally, but there is always a chance that something will happen, so I have to prepare her a path of retreat when I am still the emperor."

After the old eunuch heard what Xuanyuan Mo had to say, he said, "Master is still the most considerate one."

Xuanyuan Mo felt that the Prince Consort he was looking for for for Xuanyuan Jinger must have both military and civil means, and must be courageous and scheming.

Therefore, he asked the old eunuch what he should do. The old eunuch thought for a moment, then told Xuanyuan Mo: "Master, I remember that there is a type of betrothal marriage between commoners that is like throwing a silk ball, but Princess status is high after all, so we can compromise and hold an arena competition to choose Prince Consort Ma."

Xuanyuan Mo felt that this attention was not bad, and decided to set up an stage in the Imperial Garden, personally choosing a husband for his daughter.

Anyone who wasn't married in the capital would be participating in this round, even people who didn't have a wife would be participating in this round's Prince Consort Competition. Therefore, including the Mu Family's Mu Ming, who was also a young hero and one of Xuanyuan Zhan's subordinates in the old days, his current official position was already that of a young general, something that was rarely seen.

At this moment, when Mu Ming heard about this matter, he felt that Shangguan Qinger, who had finally returned, was going to leave him again.

Ever since Mu Ming heard about this from his parents, he had been standing outside Shangguan Qinger's room, not daring to enter.

He also could not imagine how he would be able to tell Shangguan Qinger about this. Mu Ming had struggled mentally for a long time, but in the end, he decided not to tell Shangguan Qinger about this anymore.

"Yes, yes, that's it."

After making up his mind, Mu Ming walked into Shangguan Qinger's room as if nothing had happened. After the two chatted for a while, the servant called out to Mu Ming.

When Mu Ming found out that his parents wanted to tell him a few things in order to compete in the arena battle, he realized that this could also be considered as his parents' good intentions, even though they liked Shangguan Qinger.

But this time, the emperor had chosen his only daughter to be his prince consort, which could be considered a huge matter. Even though he was destined to not have any fate with that prince, excluding the reason why he wasn't willing to be bound, the most important thing was Shangguan Qinger, whom he liked the most.

On the day of the Challenge Tournament, the imperial palace's entrance had been strictly checked out, and all participants were arranged to enter the imperial palace. On the day of the Challenge Tournament, the imperial palace's entrance was strictly checked out, and everyone participating in the arena competition was arranged to enter the imperial palace.

He then announced the start of the competition. Because he wanted to be a martial arts expert, he had to start from the very beginning with writing, couplets, and poems. To the scholars, these were all a piece of cake.

Thus, those who only knew of martial arts suffered losses and were eliminated.

At this moment, the Imperial Garden's competition was in full swing as Mu Ming slowly walked to the entrance. He had originally thought that with so many high ranking officials' disciples in the capital, it wouldn't necessarily mean the Emperor had taken a fancy to him.

As a result, he had casually pretended that he didn't know how to compete. Who knew that even though Mu Ming had intentionally restrained himself, the Emperor still chose him.
