Rebirth of His Royal Highness Prince Chenghu

Chapter 318

Cheng Hu nodded slightly and said slowly, "Indeed, the prince consorts of our Qing Dynasty are indeed capable of holding official positions."

Kangxi sat on the chair, his hands lightly resting on the armrests, nodded thoughtfully and said: "Chenghu is absolutely right. However, the position of the son-in-law cannot be chosen casually. After all, if the wrong person is chosen, wouldn't it ruin Nuonuo's life? So, the matter of selecting the son-in-law must be done with caution!" At this point, Kangxi couldn't help but frown, revealing his concern for his daughter's future happiness.

Qingyao asked with a smile and a hint of concern in her eyes, "Chenghu, I wonder if your sister Chunxi, who married far away, has written back recently?" Her tone was gentle and full of expectation.

After hearing Qingyao's words, Chenghu replied respectfully, "Mother, my sister did receive a letter saying that she is doing well and that the Prince Consort treats her with great respect. It's just that she occasionally misses the mountains and rivers of her hometown and her family."

Garudai blinked her big watery eyes and said, "When will big sister come back? I miss her so much! The days without big sister by my side are so long like years." As she spoke, she sighed softly, looking like a pitiful little puppy waiting for its owner to come home.

Cheng Hu: "Nuonuo, if you miss your elder sister, just write to her and tell her."

Galudai's eyes lit up. "Yes, why didn't I think of that? I'll go back and write a letter now." Then she skipped away. Kangxi looked at her leaving back, smiled and shook his head.

Qingyao then whispered, "My dear, although Chunxi married far away to support Mongolia, she seems to be doing well now. As for the selection of a prince consort, as long as we carefully examine her character and talent, I think she will be good." Kangxi nodded slightly, "I think so too, but I am still worried."

Upon seeing this, Chenghu said, "Father, I think we should first secretly observe the young talents in the capital, select some people with good character and profound knowledge, and then slowly examine whether they truly love my sister and whether they have bad habits." A hint of approval flashed in Kangxi's eyes, "Your Majesty's suggestion is very good, I will leave this matter to you." Chenghu took the order and left.

A few days later, Chenghu presented Kangxi with a list of talented young men, listing their names and basic information. Kangxi scrutinized it, silently considering who would be the most suitable match for his precious daughter. Thus began a silent selection process that would determine the princess's lifelong happiness.

Qingyao: "Husband, do Chunxi and his wife come to Beijing to report on their work every few years?"

Kangxi replied, "Indeed." Qingyao tilted her head slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "My husband, when choosing a prince consort this time, can we let those interested know Princess Nuonuo's preferences and talents? That way, they can have a better idea of ​​what kind of woman to match them with?" Kangxi nodded in approval. "Your idea is quite novel, and I think it's feasible." Chenghu, upon hearing this, hurriedly added, "Father, I think we could also hold a small poetry gathering or a horseback archery competition. This would not only test their talents and martial arts, but also give us a glimpse into their character." Kangxi's face was delighted. "My sons are all extremely intelligent. I will do as you suggest."

As the news spread, the young talents of the capital eagerly prepared to take part. Some diligently studied poetry and literature, hoping to impress the princess with their literary talent; others diligently practiced riding and archery, eager to showcase their prowess on the field. Upon hearing this, Galudai, hiding in her room, chuckled, curious about who would become her husband. The young men whose names were shortlisted were either nervous or excited. The excitement of the selection process for the future prince consort gradually intensified, and the entire capital seemed to be filled with a subtle and tense atmosphere, as everyone waited eagerly for the final result.
