Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

Ji Qichen and Xu Guangzhu stared at each other. After a moment, Xu Guangzhu admitted defeat and blinked his dry eyes.

Ji Qichen smiled a winner and closed his sore eyes.

"By the way, you haven't told me which three women your mother chose for you as your wives?" Ji Qichen suddenly remembered and asked.

"Ah, it's the daughter of the An family, the daughter of the Yi family, and a niece from my mother's maternal family, the Li family." Xu Guangzhu said indifferently, with no disgust or affection on his face.

When Ji Qichen heard the first two names, the candidates were within his expectations, but after hearing the last name, his expression paused.

"Does your mother want to support her family's power?"

"Yes, you have seen it all, but mother still lied to me and said that the girl from the Li family is beautiful, well-mannered, and talented. Anyway, she said all the good things about her." Xu Guangzhu lowered his eyes, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Ji Qichen raised his eyebrows, "Maybe what your mother said is true! Where is the girl from the Li family? Let me see!"

Xu Guangzhu raised his hand expressionlessly and pointed in a direction, which was also a seat in the front row.

Ji Qichen:……?

"Which one? Why don't you describe it? The direction you pointed is too broad!" Ji Qichen looked in the direction blankly, but couldn't see a woman who was similar to the one described by his companion.

When I was looking for a study partner with my cousin, a shorty—no, a little girl—suddenly appeared among a group of tall people.

Very conspicuous!

Xu Guangzhu sighed, "It's the woman in the light yellow dress."

Ji Qichen saw it this time, but remained silent.

How does this girl fit the description of the general's wife?

Oh, his manners are quite decent, but his talent is yet to be seen.

However, her appearance is only average among these women.

There's nothing particularly memorable about it, but it's not ugly either.

No, he couldn't think like that. Maybe this Miss Li was extremely talented!

"Maybe she has other outstanding qualities." Ji Qichen nodded to increase the convincingness.

Xu Guangzhu curled his lips and said, "However, it would be nice to marry her. After all, my mother and she are from the same family. When I go out to fight in the future, she can spend time with my mother."

"Why don't you want to find a wife who shares your feelings?" Anyway, he wanted to find such a wife.

It’s definitely not okay to just make do with what you have, absolutely not!

"A wife who shares the same ideals as me? A wife who goes to fight on the battlefield with me?" Xu Guangzhu replied in surprise.

"...I forgot, you're hard of hearing." Ji Qichen changed the subject, "Then who are your other two candidates for wives?"

"It's possible that you fell in love at first sight!"

"Me? Love at first sight? I'm only interested in fighting, okay!" Xu Guangzhu was firm.

"Miss An and Miss Yi are also sitting in the front row, one wearing red and the other wearing blue."

Xu Guangzhu felt that the Third Prince was so concerned about his choice of wife, he must be looking for a woman that he would fall in love with at first sight.

So he didn't hesitate and directly pointed out the locations of the remaining two women.

Anyway, he has no interest in women. If His Highness can find his sweetheart, it will be a happy thing and worth the trip to this banquet!

After looking at the two of them carefully, Ji Qichen came to the conclusion that their appearance and demeanor alone overwhelmed the girl from the Li family.

If the general's wife insists on choosing her niece as her daughter-in-law, it's not impossible, but the other girls participating in the flower-viewing banquet will be dissatisfied.

It just so happened that the two of them were sitting next to each other, and it was their turn to play the flying flower game.

"Oh, I've heard of this poem! It's from the poetry collection that's been popular in Beijing recently. I even offered a reward of ten taels of gold to find the poet!" Ji Qichen became interested after hearing this.

The boy's eyes suddenly lit up. He casually pulled out a book from his sleeve and turned to the corresponding verse.

"What did you say? Ten taels of gold?! To find someone? And you actually carry a collection of poems with you?" Xu Guangzhu slammed the table in surprise.

Should he be glad that the one who offered the one hundred taels of gold was not His Highness?

But who was the fool with so much money who paid the hundred taels?

Mu Tangxi glanced at the screen sharply. Did he seem to have heard some sound just now?

But the people around didn't react.

and so……

Mu Tangxi withdrew his gaze and stopped investigating. He thought the noise over there might have been caused by his cousin accidentally.

She would not doubt what she saw and heard.

She continued to focus her attention on Miss An and Miss Yi, whom she had just met. One was a bright beauty who exuded confidence and pride, and the other was an elegant beauty with a poetic and scholarly air and a calm temperament.

In summary, they are all stunningly beautiful beauties!

Mu Tangxi felt that looking at flowers was not as pleasing to the eye as looking at beautiful women.

So which one will my cousin choose?

Seeing her daughter staring at the other side, Xu Jingshu reminded her, "The two people I just talked to you about are one of the candidates favored by the general's wife. You can go to see them often in the future."

"Okay, mother." Mu Tangxi responded with a sincere smile.

Xu Jingshu nodded, feeling even more satisfied with her daughter.

The An family has a queen. If they also have a general's wife, then the future of the An family will be immeasurable!

Many of the sons of the Yi family are in the court, and they are also a great help.

Letting my daughter befriend them is equivalent to adding two more helpers to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Mu Tangxi kept looking at the opposite side and soon attracted the attention of An Shulan and Yi Linlang.

They smiled at Mu Tangxi in a friendly manner, and then turned their attention to the Feihua Order.

Now that the flying flower order has been played several times, there are not many verses left to recite. The girls who are not well-educated are showing off their skills in music, chess, calligraphy and painting without any shyness.

So the two of them also reached the point where they needed to think hard about the poems and could not be distracted.

At the end of the Feihualing game, only the two of them were left reciting poems.

Mu Tangxi watched both parties answer slowly until Yi Linlang frowned, looked hesitant and was unable to speak, and then the conversation ended.

However, Mu Tangxi felt that Yi Linlang could continue talking, but she was not very willing to marry her cousin? That's why she stopped.

As for the final reason, it was because she didn't want to be inferior to other ladies.

So Miss An should be my cousin’s wife, right?

Behind the screen, Ji Qichen didn't have time to argue that the ten taels of gold he spent were worth it, so he quickly signaled to Xu Guangzhu, "Your wife has been chosen!"

"Oh." Xu Guangzhu blinked and looked over somewhat unnaturally.

That is... Miss An family, An Shulan.

She should support his wish to fight in the frontier, right?

The general's wife secretly glanced at her niece with disappointment. She had clearly been asked to prepare some poems about flowers before the banquet, so how come she was not as good as those who hadn't prepared anything?
