Mortal Epic of Douluo

057 Night talk in the palace

Tiandou City, the Imperial Palace, and the Government Palace.

Xue Qinghe stood in the main hall with his head slightly bowed and respectfully. Opposite him, the Emperor of the Tiandou Empire, Xue Ye, was reviewing the memorial.

Turning his head gently and looking at the sky, Xue Qinghe took a step forward and reminded: "Father, the night is already deep. It's better to rest early. Your health is important."

"Huh?" Xue Ye raised his head when he heard this, looked at the time, and then glanced at the unapproved memorial on the table, suddenly feeling a headache.

Upon seeing this, the maid standing nearby immediately stepped forward to massage the acupuncture points on Xue Ye's head. Xue Ye, who was relieved, breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back comfortably on the soft backrest of the throne.

While enjoying the massage, Xue Ye said: "Qinghe, you are twenty-four this year, and it is time to get married. There are many beautiful ladies in Tiandou City. If you have a woman you like, you can tell me. , As long as my family background is qualified, I will not be a cold-blooded father."

"This..." I didn't expect that my father would suddenly mention this matter, which caught Xue Qinghe off guard. He hesitated and said: "Father, I am studying water conservancy knowledge with Taifu Zhang recently. , I would like to go to Beiyuan Province to observe the water conditions in a few days, but I’d better consider this matter after I return to Tiandou City.”

Xue Ye opened her eyes slightly and looked at Xue Qinghe with dissatisfaction, "I'm asking you if you have a woman you like. Why are you talking about her? Your dandy brother Xue Beng would have left the palace long ago if he didn't have some sense of shame. I have brought back my grandson from outside. You are the eldest son of the royal family, and you need to know what you should do at what time, do you understand?"

Xue Qinghe was lectured and lowered his head in shame, "Yes, I understand."

Emperor Xue Ye stroked his beard gently, "Since you don't have a favorite woman in your heart, then I will give you some calculations. If I choose a princess for you, she should be Ning Rongrong, the legitimate daughter of Ning Fengzhi, the leader of Qibao Glazed Sect. This girl is naturally beautiful. , watery and delicate, how old are you... this year?"

"I am 12 years old this year," Xue Qinghe replied, "Rongrong was born on February 12, [-], and is now just over [-] and a half years old."

Emperor Xue Ye pointed at Xue Qinghe and said with a smile: "Look, you have become the disciple of Sect Master Ning, and you know Ning Rongrong very well. Although she is a little younger, she has a noble birth. If you do If you marry your crown princess, she will definitely be a big help to you in the future. If it is her, you can wait for two years and make an engagement for the time being."

"But......"

"But what?" Emperor Xueye narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the prince's expression.

"I think," Xue Qinghe paused, still lowering his head and said to Xue Ye: "The Qibao Glazed Sect is as rich as any country, and Rongrong is also an excellent choice. If I can marry her, it will be a beautiful thing indeed." Things. But in this case, does the status of Qibao Glazed Sect..."

After hearing the prince's answer, Emperor Xueye's slightly frowning eyebrows relaxed, and his eyes became softer.But he criticized: "If Sect Master Ning hears what you said, he will definitely scold you for not respecting the master! I think you have no interest in that little girl Rongrong, so you found this ridiculous reason."

Xue Qinghe accepted it humbly, his shoulders bent slightly, and he said with a little fear: "What my father taught me is that I really shouldn't say this."

"Yes." Emperor Xue Ye put down his hand, tapped it lightly on the table, and asked: "The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus family has a girl named Yu Tianjiao, who is twenty-eight years old. What do you think?"

Xue Qinghe replied: "I have seen this daughter before. Although she is a lady of the family and has a graceful appearance, she has a violent temper and may have difficulty running a household."

"There is a girl from Tianshui Academy named Shui Bing'er, who is quite famous."

Xue Qinghe replied: "I have also heard about this daughter. It is said that she is the most beautiful woman in the country and has extraordinary temperament. However, she has already rejected the advances of many princes and nobles. I heard that she hopes that her partner can be beaten. She. My father also knows about my son’s situation..."

Emperor Xueye frowned again and named another person: "What about Earl Miles' second daughter, Marina? She is studying at Tiandou Royal Academy. Have you ever met her?"

Xue Qinghe replied again: "The second daughter is charming and graceful, but... her reputation is not good."

"Bad reviews?"

Xue Qinghe raised his head and looked at Emperor Xue Ye's expression, considered for a while, and answered cautiously: "My son also heard from hearsay that Marina seemed to have gone in and out of Yuexuan with Xue Beng a few days ago, and then entered the same hotel again. ....."

Snapped--!

"You bastard!" Xue Ye immediately became angry and slapped the desk hard.

The two maids behind him were startled and knelt down without explanation. Xue Qinghe also knelt down immediately, looked at Emperor Xue Ye worriedly, and said loudly: "Father, please calm down. I shouldn't have offended my father. If it's for this reason, If you get angry over a trivial matter, your sons and ministers will die!"

"Ahem, cough, cough -" Emperor Xueye coughed a few times, took the tea cup and took a few sips of tea. He smoothed his messy breath a little, waved his hand and said, "Get up, you're kneeling all the time, why? Are you a bit like an heir to the empire?"

"Yes." Xue Qinghe followed Xue Ye's words and stood up again, still standing respectfully.

"In a few days, I will arrange for you to meet a woman. She is the eldest granddaughter of the former King Haagen-Dazs. I heard that she was born with natural beauty, beauty and dignity, and she is also quite talented in cultivation. She is coming to Tiandou City now. On the way, be prepared, and as for observing the water conditions, put it aside for now."

Having said this, Xue Qinghe couldn't refute, so he could only reply: "Yes, I know."

Emperor Xue Ye waved his hand: "Okay, you can go back and rest. Remember what I said."

"I take my leave." Xue Qinghe bowed deeply to Emperor Xue Ye, first took three steps backwards, then turned around and walked out of the palace.

Emperor Xue Ye looked at Xue Qinghe's leaving figure and sighed faintly, "Oh, it doesn't make anyone worry~"

Then he picked up the ink pen again and started reviewing the memorial. There were only a few people in the huge administrative hall, and a few coughs could be heard from time to time.

............

Midnight, East Palace Garden.

Xue Qinghe took a sachet and a package of spices from his subordinate in black and asked, "Did someone send this to you?"

"Yes," the man in black replied, "His Majesty the Pope said that this spice burns alone and is no different from other precious spices. It is not only harmless but can calm the mind. But if this sachet is different from the burning Cigarettes in the same room will produce a chronic toxin, which is colorless and odorless and extremely difficult to detect."

"It's extremely difficult to detect, so it's possible." Xue Qinghe said casually. He played with the delicate sachet and thought of an old man with green hair.But the next one was denied. The old guy was free after all, he just owed a favor to his uncle, Prince Snow Star.If the time comes, even if the old man discovers it, it will not help.

"I will find an opportunity to use this thing." Xue Qinghe put away the sachet and spices and said to the man in black: "The information I asked you to send people to Haagen-Dazs to collect four years ago is called Is there a girl named Fraser next to the boy Oscar?"

The man in black nodded and said: "Yes, she is the eldest granddaughter of the former King Haagen-Dazs. Because of her identity, the people sent there focused on her."

"That's it for today. It's time for you to rest. Send her information tomorrow." Xue Qinghe said, walking towards his dormitory. The man in black saluted Xue Qinghe's figure and disappeared. into the darkness.
