Chapter 184 The entire army was wiped out
"This person is not suitable either. The family conditions are too complicated."
"Okay! Next."
Princess Wuyang answered without any hesitation.
Xu Jinyu looked Princess Wuyang up and down.
[She agreed so readily, Wuyang really doesn't want to get married. ]
Princess Wuyang really wanted to jump up and hit Xu Jinyu: You’ve explained it so clearly, but I still went ahead and married you. Am I crazy?
She muttered quietly, "Isn't this just about choosing a prince consort? We'll get married when we find the right one."
Someone whispered in Xu Jinyu's ear: "The next candidate is Wu'an Marquis's youngest son Shi Ruochu."
[Shi Ruochu, let me see who this person is.]
Marquis Wu'an felt nervous, for he knew his son's ambitions. If he became a royal consort, his ambitions would not be realized.
[Wow! He is handsome, full of vigor, and has excellent kung fu skills. He is a famous handsome man of this generation in the capital.]
Princess Wuyang's eyes lit up instantly.
Who doesn’t like to look at a good-looking young man?
[That's...that's...how can I put it, riding a horse and leaning on the slanting bridge, with red sleeves waving in the building, this Shi Ruochu is excellent, but there are too many women who like this Shi Ruochu. ]
[From the ladies of high families to the prostitutes in brothels, no one dislikes this young man. ]
[Today, I encountered several coincidences while walking on the road. In the morning, I met a man who was selling himself to bury his father. At noon, I met a lady whose carriage broke down. In the afternoon, I met a weak woman who needed to be rescued.]
Emperor Xuan puffed out his chest proudly once again. This candidate couldn't be wrong!
Unlike Emperor Xuan who was proud, Wuyang backed off after hearing that Shi Ruchu was popular among women.
It is not a good thing for a man to be too popular with women.
[Besides, Shi Ruochu's ideal is to fight on the battlefield like his ancestors. If he becomes a royal consort and says to Wuyang that it is because of you that I cannot fight on the battlefield, how will Wuyang respond?]
[Unless the emperor makes an exception and allows this consort to become a general.]
Emperor Xuan retracted his chest, this cannot be made an exception.
The rule that the prince consort of Daqian cannot become a high-ranking official is because the prince consort of a princess almost killed his father-in-law and ascended the throne to become emperor.
It was almost there, just a little bit, and Daqian would be gone.
From then on, there was an unwritten rule for the princesses of Daqian to choose their husbands-in-law: the husbands-in-law could not lead troops or hold important power.
Either they are rich and idle people, or they are newly-minted scholars.
"This Shi Ruochu wants to be a general, you are not suitable."
Princess Wuyang nodded silently. It was still painful to give up such a good young man in every aspect.
"This is the last candidate. If it doesn't work..."
Princess Wuyang secretly glanced at her father: None of the five candidates is capable. Father, do you want to reflect on the way you look at people?
When Emperor Xuan saw his daughter's furtive look, he let out a breath of air: "It was all the hard work of the Internal Guards to investigate, so if there is a problem, it is also your Internal Guards' fault."
So blame yourself for not doing your best! You are the inner guard.
"The last one is Shen Ruzhuo, the son of the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace. The Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace has a good relationship with my father."
Princess Wuyang had almost given up hope on this last one, because she had already met the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace.
I don't know what his ability is, but when it comes to flattering the emperor, he's as good as two others and can make his father laugh without making any noise.
[Shen Ruzhuo, Shen Ruzhuo...the son of the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace, now has the status of a scholar, a little worse than Huang Ximu, but not much worse.]
[Huang Ximu's status as a juren was earned by not getting enough sleep for decades. This Shen Ruzhuo is of normal level.]
Emperor Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Shen Ruzhuo was not too bad.
Originally, this person was not among the candidates for Wuyang's son-in-law, but Shen Ruzhuo's father repeatedly praised his son in front of him.
Emperor Xuan impulsively added this person into the list of candidates for Princess Wuyang's consort.
Emperor Xuan regretted his decision immediately after the appointment because the internal guards did not investigate this person.
However, Emperor Xuan was too embarrassed to take back what he had said in front of his ministers.
[He has a handsome appearance, and his family has no maids, concubines, or mistresses. Even the servants are all servants.]
[I am good at studying and have a good temper. I am currently studying at the Imperial College and get along well with my classmates. My only hobby is listening to opera.]
[The only healthier entertainment activity in the ancient world was listening to opera, which was better than visiting brothels. He seemed to be a good candidate.]
The Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace raised his head proudly.
The officials around looked at the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace with a bit of envy.
If they had known earlier, they would have recommended themselves. Their sons were not much worse than Shen Ruzhuo.
[Looking at the family environment, the father is kind and the mother is loving, and the brothers are harmonious. The ability of the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace is not very good, but he is good at talking. Even if the emperor's head is smoking, he has a way to calm the emperor down. ]
Xu Jinyu's voice made the Grand Secretary of the Cultural Hall even more proud.
I don’t have any ability, but I can speak, which is also a kind of ability.
The corners of Emperor Xuan's mouth curled up. He thought that his vision was pretty good. Now he had a candidate for the prince consort.
【etc·······】
[This Shen Ruzhuo took an actor as his master, so this is not a big problem. ]
The problem is big!
The Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace's neck turned red and he almost shouted out, but was covered his mouth by the quick-witted official next to him.
However, his eyes, which were almost popping out of their sockets, still showed his excitement.
A son of an official family takes a man of the lowest class as his teacher. Shen Ruzhuo does not care about the reputation of the Shen family at all.
The corners of Emperor Xuan's mouth, which had been raised just now, quickly pulled down. A person who likes to sing opera cannot be a princess.
[And Shen Ruzhuo's singing is all male dan, and this system describes Shen Ruzhuo's singing of male dan as melodious and lingering.]
[It turns out that Shen Ruzhuo went to the theater to sing operas, not to listen to operas. It is amazing that a non-professional can sing operas so beautifully. He can definitely be called an artist.]
Is it awesome?
The Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace, whose mouth was covered, was a little confused.
Isn't opera singing considered low class? Why did it become a compliment when it came to Lord Xu?
Several ministers showed expressions of understanding.
I don't know what kind of education Lady Xu received, but to her, all professions are the same. Even if she meets someone who sells night fragrance, she will stay away from him because of the stink, but there will be no expression of disgust on her face.
[It just so happened that Shen Ruzhuo had a play today, so after the court was over, he dragged Wuyang to listen.]
[This person is a good choice, except that the emperor may not like him very much. ]
completely annihilated!
Emperor Xuan was disheartened.
Why is it so difficult to choose a prince consort?
Princess Wuyang lowered her head: Xu Jinyu thought too much, no matter how talented Shen Ruzhuo is, he can be kicked out of the position of prince consort just because of his singing ability.
【Hahahahahahaha...】
Suddenly Xu Jinyu burst into uncontrollable laughter again.
The eyes of all the civil and military officials suddenly lit up.
What could make Xu Jinyu laugh like this must of course be something particularly interesting.
【Let's form a group to take revenge on Liu Wen and Wu Wenneng.】
