I've been reborn, who still wants to be a cowardly little white flower?
Chapter 160 Xie Yunxiao's Determination
After three days of hunting, the top three were finally selected. The first and second place winners were Jiang Yuan and Qu Jin from the first day. They were not only the champions of this hunt, but it was rare to see such results in previous hunting years.
The third place is somewhat unexpected, it is King Anyang.
When the name of King Anyang was read out, the two complacent people suddenly changed their expressions and bowed deeply to King Anyang in unison. Oh my God, what did they do?
The two girls' faces changed. Prince Anyang was so happy that he pointed at the two of them and laughed. He also said jokingly, "You two, you still know how to be afraid."
This year was the first time that the top two places were taken by two girls, and King Anyang also said that he did not want any reward.
The emperor deliberately changed the rewards so that the first and second place winners received the same.
The two of them each carried a rosewood box back to the tent, whispering to each other all the way, because the contents of the box were confidential and no one at the scene, including them, knew.
Back at the tent, Qu Ying couldn't wait any longer and circled around the two of them, urging them to open it quickly.
When we opened the boxes together, the first thing that caught our eyes were various boxes of different sizes.
Jiang Yuan took out a huge oriental pearl from his box. Qu Ying's eyes widened. He carefully took the pearl and looked at it carefully. He gasped in shock. The pearl in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and he almost couldn't hold it firmly.
"This, this, this, this, this, is the pearl on the Queen's Phoenix Crown."
Qu Jin also nodded, and then took out a white marble hairpin from his box, "This hairpin also belongs to the Empress. If I remember correctly, it was her dowry."
"The Queen's dowry~" Qu Ying went crazy.
The other boxes were nothing special, they were all filled with jewelry.
Jiang Yuan thought that the emperor could give gold, but later he thought that the treasury was empty and the money for disaster relief was squeezed out of the teeth, so where would he get silver?
In the corner of the box, there is a small box, square and palm-sized, one for each of them.
The things in the whole box were not as important as the things in this small box. It was so important that the two of them immediately went to find the eldest princess and called back Qu Hou.
The emperor returned to the capital, and Jiang Yuan was kept back by General Luo. He would return a day later as there was some finishing work to be done at the hunting ground.
General Luo's attitude towards Jiang Yuan took a 180-degree turn, especially after the hunt and the horse race that day. General Luo woke up in the middle of the night and wanted to slap himself twice because of his previous blindness.
Jiang Yuan stayed behind and had almost no particularly heavy work to do. He led his men to patrol the periphery. All the tents here needed to be dismantled, and they also had to make a tour to the hunting palace on the mountain ten miles away.
This cleanup work is really a great job. There are not many people left in the entire hunting ground, and the hunting palace is even quieter. The scenery here is very beautiful. In autumn, the leaves turn yellow, and the setting sun makes it so beautiful that people can't take their eyes away.
The capital city is in chaos.
On the way back, Xie Yunxiao served as the imperial companion and escorted the emperor back to the capital. During a break, Qu Ying saw that he was worried and went to Xue Yangling to ask what happened. He couldn't be angry just because he lost to King Anyang.
Xue Yangling didn't say anything at first, and avoided the question, but Qu Ying's IQ was online in different time periods, and it happened to be the time when her IQ was connected to the signal, so she forced a few words out of Xue Yangling's mouth.
"You said that Fourth Brother likes A Yuan, but he thinks A Yuan won't like him."
Xue Yangling nodded.
"Because Fourth Brother could not resist Lord Xie and had to silently endure the bullying from the people in the Marquis' Mansion, he was worried that Jiang Yuan looked down on him because of this?"
Xue Yangling continued to nod.
Qu Ying sighed, "A Yuan certainly didn't look down on him, but he did have a lot of dissatisfaction with the Marquis's Mansion. Thank you Marquis for choosing a marriage for him, the granddaughter of Master Cheng who died at some point in time."
Xue Yangling didn't know about this yet, and Xie Yunxiao also heard about it from the emperor. He didn't take it to heart because the emperor made it clear that he would listen to his opinion.
Hearing this, Xue Yangling was furious, "Lord Xie, this is Sima Zhao's intention. Isn't this harming Yun Xiao?"
Qu Ying shrugged, "Look, anyone with eyes knows it, but Xie Hou brought it up so shamelessly, and everyone knows what he means and what he has in mind.
But, after all, this is a family matter after all, and Xie Yunxiao has such an attitude. Who can stand up for him? He himself doesn't say anything. Does he expect his friends to help him?
What right do we have to oppose the marriage his father chose for him?"
Xue Yangling listened and nodded continuously. What Qu Ying said made sense. After all, this matter had to be solved by Xie Yunxiao himself.
"I'm afraid Lord Xie has a more plausible reason. Xie Yunfeng is no longer an official in the court, so the only one who can stand out in the Xie family is Xie Yunxiao.
Grand Tutor Cheng's granddaughter is in poor health, but the Grand Tutor's Mansion is indeed of high status. By marrying into the Cheng family, Xie Yunxiao's future career will be smoother.
He cannot inherit the title and can only rely on himself. Such a lady of noble birth can help him a lot. "
Qu Ying's face looked very unhappy. Xue Yangling was right. Marquis Xie could have said that so shamelessly. In the end, it was still for Xie Yunxiao's good that he racked his brains to choose the best wife for him.
"A Yuan was absolutely right in scolding this dirty-hearted old Deng."
Xie Yunxiao didn’t understand the second half of the sentence. The word “Lao Deng” should mean old man, but it’s not important. The first half of the sentence is more important.
"What do you mean? Jiang Yuan scolded Lord Xie? When?"
Qu Ying told her everything that Xie Hou had said to her when he came to the tent to block Jiang Yuan that day. Of course, she also did not forget to mention Jiang Yuan's counterattack, otherwise, she was afraid that Xue Yang would die of spiritual energy.
Just as he finished speaking, an angry shout came from behind him, "What did you say?"
The two were startled and then they saw Xie Yunxiao standing not far behind them.
People who practice martial arts naturally have good hearing, and he heard everything.
Seeing Xie Yunxiao turn around and walk away angrily, the two of them tried to chase him belatedly, but failed to catch up with him.
Xie Yunxiao went straight to the emperor's carriage and saw him from a distance, bowing and talking to the inside of the carriage. The two were too far away to hear him.
Xue Yangling said anxiously, "Go quickly and find the princess."
Qu Ying nodded quickly.
Xue Yangling also went to find King Anyang.
Xie Yunxiao got on the emperor's carriage. The emperor saw that he looked strange and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Your Majesty, I beg you not to agree to the marriage that Marquis Xie has chosen for me."
The emperor was surprised and leaned back. "Even if I don't agree, I can't stop Marquis Xie. He is your father. He went to the Grand Tutor's Mansion to propose marriage. I can't issue an order to disapprove."
Xie Yunxiao nodded, "I understand. I will handle this matter."
"I cannot stop Lord Xie, but I can grant you a marriage. Do you have a girl you like? Granting you a marriage is the only way to stop Lord Xie's thoughts."
The image of Jiang Yuan appeared in Xie Yunxiao's mind. He was very sure of his heart, but he could not force Jiang Yuan by offering him a marriage.
After thinking for a while, Xie Yunxiao still said firmly, "Your Majesty, I will solve the problems at home and grant the marriage. After I express my feelings, I will ask Your Majesty to grant the marriage."
The emperor's eyes lit up. It seemed that this boy had a lover.
