In fact, the Xin ‘an King was simply ugly.

However, he needed the support of the Xiao family, and the emperor also needed him to get married. Time was tight, and he wanted to pick someone who was pleasing to his eyes in all aspects and was beautiful.

Xiao Ning, on the other hand, met his requirements except for her face.

What else was there to ask for?

Emperor Yu Heng was quite happy when he heard this.” That’s good, that’s good. If you have no objections, I will issue an imperial edict to bestow the marriage in a few days.””

“It’s all up to Father.”

Prince Xin ‘an was still happy that Emperor Yu Heng was satisfied. Although it was a political marriage, it was better for husband and wife to be harmonious than to treat each other with cold respect. Moreover, he had previously agreed to the request of the Xin ‘an King that marriage was up to him. Now, it could be considered that he had said something wrong.

“In the blink of an eye, you’re already growing up and getting married.”Emperor Yu Heng sighed.

He was looking at Xin ‘an King, but he was not just thinking about him. He was also thinking about the Crown Prince who was crying in front of him.

The prince is his first son, and he is the son of his wife. He has loved him since childhood. After he deposed his elder brother and ascended the throne, he made his eldest son the crown prince. From then on, he had even higher standards and strict requirements. However, the crown prince was disappointing and irritable. He had seen all of this.

In the past, he only wanted to teach her slowly when he was young and strong.

However, ever since he had the heart to exchange for the Crown Prince, the more he looked at the Crown Prince, the more unbearable he became. Regardless of virtue or temperament, he was not worthy of being the Emperor.

Until today, when he scolded the Crown Prince because of his perfunctory handwriting on the memorial. In the end, the Crown Prince had held it in for a long time and actually hugged his thigh and cried bitterly. He said it in a pitiful manner, bitterly recounting the father-son relationship they had built many years ago, and reflected on many things he had done wrong, all kinds of grievances, all kinds of apologies…

When they were young, he had also held the Crown Prince in his arms. Even when the Crown Prince had just learned to walk, he was the one who supported him.

It was only after he became the emperor and had many government affairs that he let go of the Crown Prince. In the end… With the Crown Prince’s words, Emperor Yu Heng’s memories resurfaced in his mind, and he began to cry with sadness.

Once upon a time, this was also his most beloved child.

However, because the Crown Prince was the legitimate son, he had always had high standards and strict requirements from the beginning. Unlike the other princes, including Little Six, he was more doted on.

The Xin ‘an King was such a sharp person. He could tell that something was wrong with the Emperor’s mood with just a few words and a long sigh. The Crown Prince had obviously given in and was playing the emotional card.

He pretended not to see it and smiled bitterly,”

“Yes, time passes so quickly. Last year, auntie even personally selected a candidate for the princess consort for me…In less than a year, he had already been separated from heaven and earth forever.”The Crown Prince had a past, but he didn’t?

He still had his mother, his father’s Zhusha Zhi.

As expected, when Emperor Yu Heng heard this, his sadness instantly turned into hurt.

The father and son sighed at the same time, then looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

“It’s my fault. I’ve made Imperial Father sad.”Xin ‘an King took a deep breath and suppressed all his emotions.

“We are father and son, so why should we talk about right and wrong? If you don’t say it, do you think I won’t miss your aunt?”Emperor Yu Heng sighed deeply, his eyes reddening again. He and Noble Consort Liu’s favorite son. If he didn’t help him, Xuancheng and Little Shiqi would be killed together.

Regardless of whether it was Empress Wang or Wang Lang, they were not easy to deal with. They were very black-hearted.

“Zhen thinks, if you are satisfied with this Xiao family’s wife, then try to get married before the end of the year. It will also save Zhen a load of worry. Next year, Zhen might have a grandson.”

The Xin ‘an King didn’t say anything. He really couldn’t think of any more words to praise Xiao Ning. It had emptied all his thoughts and consumed all his energy.

After chatting for a while more, Emperor Heng took out three memorials and handed them to Prince Xin ’an.” Take these back and read them. Tell me what you’ve learned tomorrow.””

After sending off Xin An King, Emperor Yu Heng set off to Xian Yang Hall, wanting to hear the Empress Dowager’s opinion.

As an Emperor, he had rushed to see the young lady of a minister’s family. It was not nice to say it, so he had the Empress Dowager check it. Although he had passed the test of Xin ‘an King, he still needed to see the Empress Dowager’s opinion. After all, the Empress Dowager had seen him personally, so she was more objective than Xin’ an King.

In the end, it would have been fine if he didn’t ask. But once he asked, the empress dowager’s face was about to twitch like a dried potato.

“It’s really not enough.” Empress Dowager Pan said reservedly.

Emperor Yu Heng raised his eyebrows. That’s right, it was Xie Xian’s wife who accompanied her here.”

He knew that there was always a comparison between people. However, if they didn’t ask Xiao Baoxin to enter the palace, it wouldn’t be good for Zhang Ming to ask a minister’s daughter to enter the palace for them to look at, right? With Xiao Huang’s bad temper, he might not even agree.

“This… Liu ‘er said that Lady Xiao is dignified and beautiful, and her bearing is generous…” Emperor Epsilon was confused. Was her mother’s standards too high, or was she really like her father and had taken after Xiao Huang?

In the Emperor’s mind, he compared Xiao Huang’s old face to a young lady’s neck.

That scene hurt his eyes a little.

“Ugly.” Empress Dowager Pan said honestly.

Emperor Yu Heng’s expression was difficult to describe in words. His gaze drifted to the palace maids and nannies beside the Empress Dowager. Who could give me justice!

Granny Zhao, who was beside the Empress Dowager, coughed.”” This servant sees that Lady Xiao is indeed as the Sixth King said, dignified and beautiful, with a generous bearing…”

Actually, it wasn’t that Granny Zhao was lying through her teeth. The Xin ‘an King’s words clearly showed that he had taken a fancy to Lady Xiao. The Empress Dowager’s status was there, so no matter what she said, as a servant, she couldn’t comment on the future Xin An Princess Consort. In the future, she would be a despicable person if she met him frequently.

If it didn’t work out, she wouldn’t lose anything, just a few good words.

“Your bearing is quite generous.” Empress Dowager Pan agreed. She was dignified, but not beautiful.

“This servant sees that the beauties in the palace are like clouds, and beside Xiao Niangzi is Furen Xiao’s peerless beauty, so wouldn’t she be inferior?”Granny Zhao smiled.” Moreover, this servant will say something inappropriate. The Empress Dowager herself is a rare beauty. If she looks in the mirror too much, won’t her eyes become too sensitive?””

Granny Zhao’s words were deeply in Empress Dowager Pan’s heart. Could this be the case?

Compared to her, Xiao Ning couldn’t be compared.

Although the age difference was there, she could not catch up to her beauty even if she flattered her. She was several times better than her in Jiankang City, okay?

Emperor Yu Heng had an idea.

“What’s the situation in Xuan City?”he asked.

“I heard that Madam Xiao didn’t even touch the Shu dishes that were prepared, but Princess Xuancheng and Lady Xiao ate to their heart’s content. Now that she was playing pitch-pot, the princess was very happy.”

Emperor Yu Heng nodded his head in satisfaction. There were really not many ladies who could enter Xuan City’s eyes. In the future, if he married into the family, there would be no problem with his sister-in-law.

” Presumably, the Xie family doesn’t have a chef who knows how to cook Shu cuisine. Lady Xiao hasn’t eaten well these days, right?” He smiled.” Pass down my decree. Ask that chef to go back with Lady Xiao and send a cart of Shu ingredients and condiments over..””
