Want to tease the prince, the cat is soft and delicate

In the imperial study, Xuanyuan Che sat at the imperial desk, sipping tea calmly.

Emperor Shunde had a dark face and lowered his head, looking at something.

Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was heavy and depressing.

After a while, Emperor Shunde pushed a portrait in front of Xuanyuan Che and said, "This is the daughter of General Changsheng Guo Yuanzhou. She will be coming of age in January this year. She is about your age, beautiful, and has a good personality. Take a look at her and see if you are satisfied."

Xuanyuan Che put down the cup in his hand without even raising his eyelids: "Guo Yuanzhou's legitimate son married the daughter of Qin Fei, the Minister of the Qin Mansion, and Qin Fei is a subordinate of the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister... has a deep connection with the Cao family. If I marry Guo Yuanzhou's daughter, I'm afraid I won't be able to live in peace."

Explanation: (General Changsheng's son married the daughter of the Prime Minister's subordinate, and the Prime Minister has a close relationship with the Third Prince. If Xuanyuan Che marries General Changsheng's daughter, it would be like placing the Third Prince's spy next to him, so he would have trouble living in peace.)

Emperor Shunde thought for a moment, then felt that something was wrong, so he threw the portrait aside and picked up another one.

"The daughter of the Dali Temple Minister is sixteen years old. I have seen her. She is dignified, polite, and graceful. The Dali Temple Minister is my confidant. Can you rest assured now?"

Xuanyuan Che straightened his sleeves, still looking depressed, "It is said that the daughter of the Dali Temple Minister had been engaged to the son of the Minister of Works, but later she discovered the affair and cut off his penis. She was then labeled a "poisonous woman" and hid in Jing'an Temple for three years, waiting for people to forget about her before she dared to return to the capital."

Emperor Shunde was unaware of this. Upon hearing this, he slammed the table and said angrily, "Nonsense!"

Xuanyuan Che was unmoved, so Zhao Zhen quickly stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, this is indeed the case. Have you forgotten that you discussed this with me?"

Emperor Shunde frowned: "When?"

Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty, please think about it carefully."

Emperor Shunde thought about it seriously for a while, but he had no impression at all. He grabbed the portrait and threw it directly at Zhao Zhen, cursing: "This is what you did!"

Zhao Zhen fell to his knees with a thump: "It is my fault that I did not do my job well. Your Majesty, please punish me!"

Emperor Shunde was so angry that he threw another portrait at his head and said, "Deduct three months' salary!"

Zhao Zhen hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

Emperor Shunde sat down angrily, picking and choosing the portraits on the table, and finally pushed them away and said to Xuanyuan Che with gritted teeth: "You should have married two years ago, but you kept putting it off. I tell you, if you don't choose, I will choose for you!"

Xuanyuan Che finally moved. He walked forward, looked at the messy imperial desk, reached out and rummaged through the messy portraits, then picked out a portrait at random.

Without even looking at it, he threw it in front of Emperor Shunde: "Let's take her."

Emperor Shunde looked at him suspiciously, opened the portrait, and then his frown relaxed, saying with a smile: "The daughter of Grand Tutor Wen, not bad, very good, very good!"

The smile on his face and the two words "excellent" showed that he was very satisfied with the person chosen by Xuanyuan Che.

"How could I forget that Grand Master Wen has a little daughter who is not married yet? Good, very good." He laughed loudly, threw the portrait to Zhao Zhen and said, "Go tell the Queen that I will hold a lotus viewing banquet in the Imperial Garden in two days, ask her to prepare."

Zhao Zhenming understood Emperor Shunde's intention, and hurried to do his work, holding the portrait in both hands.

"Now that you have made your choice, I will take my leave first." Xuanyuan Che clasped his fists and bowed, and was about to leave.

"Stop." Emperor Shunde called out to him.

Xuanyuan Che turned around and looked at him without saying anything, but there was a hint of impatience on his face. Obviously, if Emperor Shunde stopped him for something unimportant, he would probably get angry.

"Your third brother said that he has a concubine in your prison?" Although Emperor Shunde asked, he could hear from the tone that he believed the third prince's words.

Xuanyuan Che raised his eyebrows: "It is indeed here with me."

After getting the answer, Emperor Shunde smiled and sat down: "Is he still alive?"

Xuanyuan Che threw out two words without hesitation: "Dead."

"Do you know that the other party is the only daughter of Duke Wu?" Emperor Shunde's face turned three shades colder.

Xuanyuan Che looked at Emperor Shunde with cold eyes: "It doesn't matter to me who she is. She brought this upon herself. I just killed an assassin. Since my third brother has mentioned this, I will settle accounts with him."

"Aren't you afraid of angering the Cao family? With your current strength, how can you compete with the Cao family?" Emperor Shunde raised his eyes, his narrow and long pupils were 80% similar to Xuanyuan Che's, even the cold light in his eyes was exactly the same.

Xuanyuan Che turned around and walked out without paying any attention.

The voice of Emperor Shunde sounded slowly behind him, revealing an intriguing tone.

"The Cao family is not to be feared. What is feared is the 500,000 soldiers behind the Cao family. If you want to do something, do it quickly. I don't want to see you brothers killing each other."

Xuanyuan Che paused, raised the corner of his mouth, and stepped out of the palace.

There are many varieties of flowers in the Imperial Garden, and the flowers are in full bloom, which is a breathtaking beauty.

Mei Susu leaned out of Zhuixue's arms and looked around. Everything she saw was new to her.

In the past, I had only seen the Imperial Garden on TV and in books, but now that I’m here in person, it’s indeed beautiful.

Above the Imperial Lake, there is an octagonal pavilion with white gauze fluttering. The lake surface around it is sparkling, as if gems have fallen on it, dazzling people's eyes.

"Meow~" Mei Susu called softly while looking at the octagonal pavilion.

Zhuixue followed her gaze and saw the pavilion, and understood what Mei Susu meant.

"Miss Susu wants to go to the pavilion. If you want to go, just call me once. If you don't want to go, call me twice."

"Meow~" Mei Susu called out.

Zhuixue was surprised and delighted, and immediately said with a smile: "I will carry the young lady over now."

The man and the cat were just about to go to the pavilion when a group of people came out from a side path.

The leading woman was wearing a sky blue brocade satin skirt with orchid patterns embroidered on the top and a blessing character above her collar. She wore Eighteen Red Hairpins with Bishui on her head and a little orchid flower on her forehead.

She was extremely beautiful, but not coquettish, with fair skin, a graceful figure, red lips and white teeth in every frown and smile, and she was very charming. She was a very wonderful person.

Mei Susu was stunned. This person was the most beautiful person she had ever seen in all the time she had been here.

This person's identity is unknown.

If she were a concubine in the harem, then the old emperor would be truly blessed.

If she were in her shoes, she would wake up laughing in her dreams if she had such a beauty by her side.
