Chapter 370: Prince Yun’s Thoughts

Yun Qinghan listened to the Queen's instructions and watched his junior brother leave without stopping him. The junior brother was probably not used to the Queen being here.

"Qinghan, the list I sent you before is the list of the good-looking women in Kyoto who are of marriageable age. You can take a look at it, but given our family background, we don't need any arranged marriages, so your wife's status is not important. What matters is that you like her."

"These girls are all well-educated and well-mannered, and any one of them looks as beautiful as a flower. Just pick the one you like. If you two are compatible, you can live happily together in the future. Your parents have no choice but to be with you. They have their own tasks to do. Don't worry, you are going to get married soon, and they will be back soon to prepare for your wedding. I guarantee it will be a grand wedding."

The Queen Mother looked at Yun Qinghan with a loving face. Yun Qinghan was not only her son's junior fellow apprentice, she also had a good relationship with Princess Anyang, and Yun Qinghan also grew up by her side. In the Queen's view, Yun Qinghan was almost the same as the Sixth Prince.

But since her parents were not around when she was young, even if they cared about her, it would not be the same. Now she only hopes that Yun Qinghan can find a girl he likes, a wife and children, so that they can form a home and have a fulfilling life in the future. If Anyang and the others were not Qinghan's parents, she would have wanted to take charge of Yun Qinghan's marriage herself, marry him, and have children, so that Qinghan would not feel lonely when he returns home in the future, and he would feel warmer.

Anyang and the others can rest assured outside. In the past few years, their whole family has been on the battlefield. Qinghan doesn't even have a wife. She can't sleep every time she thinks about it. It's a pity that the children were beaten, and some of them as elders cannot stop it blindly.

If she gets married and has children, she will have nothing to worry about when she goes out, and she will feel more at ease.

If it were an ordinary family, they might have to consider things like being well-matched, but for people of their status, family background is the least worth mentioning, and the level of status is not something they can decide with a word, so as long as Qinghan likes the girl, he doesn't have any requirements for her status. She also believes in Qinghan's eyes, and the one he chooses will definitely not be bad.

"Well, thank you, Your Majesty. I'm sorry for causing you trouble!" Yun Qinghan said softly with his head down. The Queen has always cared about him, so he naturally appreciates it.

"What's the meaning of 'empress'? I am your aunt. I feel more comfortable hearing the word 'aunt'. From now on, you can still call me aunt. I will arrange things for you and I am very happy. You can take a closer look today. We are not in a hurry. We can choose slowly. If you can't choose someone you like today, there is always next time. I will definitely choose someone you like. As long as you are happy, I will be satisfied." The queen said with a smile.

"Yes, thank you, aunt!"

Although it felt boring, Yun Qinghan still showed up. However, facing those shy and timid gazes, it was really boring. Not only did these women fail to arouse any waves in his heart, they also made him feel a little annoyed.

Yun Qinghan once again met a girl who came to pay her respects on purpose. He went straight to a secluded pavilion and prepared to leave when the time came. If it wasn't for the Queen's wish, he would have wanted to leave right away.

Those women are either timid, ambitious, or pretentious. There are also those who throw themselves at me with calculating eyes, who really think that they are the only smart ones and everyone else is a fool.

As a woman, she is not reserved at all. It is not as interesting as watching her junior brother practicing martial arts. Although she tends to fall asleep while practicing, at least it is comfortable to watch!

"Prince, we are in a remote place... I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet those girls, right?"

Huo Feng hesitated and said that there were few people in the Dingbei Marquis Mansion, and the prince was what Young Master Ye called a "bachelor of advanced age", so it was time for him to consider getting married and living a life with a wife and children.

Ever since they came back, the old housekeeper didn't dare to say anything in front of the prince, and kept lecturing him, asking him to urge the prince, making it seem as if the prince was unable to find a wife because of his instigation. God knows, he wants to get married even more than the prince. Now that there is a mistress in the mansion, there will be someone to arrange their marriage!

Now because the prince has not married, many brothers in their house have not married either. Now they all hope that the prince will marry a wife as soon as possible, so that they can ask the master to grant the marriage! It would be even better if they could marry the maidservant next to the mistress.

It was fine that the prince didn't like women before when he was at the border. After all, the girls there were not only of low status, but also looked a bit disappointing. None of them were worthy of the prince. But there were many girls in Kyoto. Any one of them was pretty and had good family backgrounds. Even if the prince closed his eyes and chose, he would not choose an ugly one.

If all else fails, they can choose a few more so that their Dingbei Marquis Mansion can become lively. But they are in such a remote place now, how can those girls get here and how can the prince choose?

"Stop talking too much!" Yun Qinghan scolded, looking at the teacup in his hand.

Huo Feng shut up immediately.

Forget it, it's not him who is getting married. The worst that can happen is that he can just go back home and avoid the old housekeeper. His old arms and legs can't catch up with him. As for other things, the prince is not in a hurry, so it's useless even if he is anxious!

Yun Qinghan held a cup of tea in his mouth and closed his eyes slightly, but he was thinking about Shu Xiaoxiao's appearance in his mind.

Although his father is not around, his uncle is the emperor, who cares about him a lot. If there is something rare that the princes don't have, the emperor will specially reserve one for him. This kind of favor is definitely the first in Kyoto, and others can only curry favor with him.

It can be said that he has never lacked anything since he was a child. There are countless people who want to curry favor with him, and he has seen all kinds of people, cunning, honest, stupid, ambitious, self-righteous... At the beginning, he may not understand what that means, but slowly he has seen more and more, and with the guidance of his uncle the emperor, he can't say that he can tell what kind of people they are at a glance, but he can tell almost everything.

Power is indeed a good thing. It can make people try every means to get close to him and please him, just to get more benefits from him.

These people lost their meaning in his eyes. As long as they could do things for him, it didn't matter who they were! He only wanted people who could do things well, not who was doing them.

Until I met Shu Xiaoxiao, I didn't know if there was anything special about her. It's just that she looked clean and tidy, and she looked quite pleasing to the eye.

Later, when he learned that she could grow high-yield crops and was the lucky star of Daning, Yun Qinghan began to look at her seriously. Only then did he realize that this person was not only pleasing to the eye, but also quite cute. After knowing his identity, she was not afraid of him and even dared to say nice words to coax him.

Although those words were blunt, they looked quite sincere when coupled with her overly clear eyes.

It would be fine if she just coaxed him with nice words, and since she was good-looking, Yun Qinghan could tolerate it. Moreover, her eyes sparkled when she praised people, and it was obvious that she was sincere, so Yun Qinghan would not bother with her. In the end, she said those nice things just for a bite to eat, just for a bite to eat.

Yun Qinghan originally thought that she might be relatively poor, but when he found out that she lived in a high-end dormitory that cost five hundred taels a year and was still so greedy, he almost wanted to laugh, because the food she ate was not some special delicacies, but she ate it with gusto.

Later, seeing that she was quite good at talking, Yun Qinghan acquiesced to her request to eat for free. What's more, her usual greasy and straightforward praises, as well as her focused look while eating, not only made Yun Qinghan in a good mood, but also made every meal taste much better and he could eat a lot more.

Only then did he realize that what people often say about beauty being a feast to the eyes is not groundless, but does have some truth to it!

Originally, in his mind, Shu Xiaoxiao was just a little brother who was good at talking and comfortable to get along with. Then, even though she grew a thousand kilograms of grain per mu and got the title, she was still carefree and worried about food all day long. There was no change at all because of the change in her status.

He would let him try any delicious food and give him any new things, even if it was just for a free meal. It was nice to feel like someone was always thinking about him. Later, this little brother became his junior fellow apprentice.

He gradually discovered that although his junior brother was a boy, he was very handsome and had a sweet smile.

He has seen many people laugh, big laughs, bitter smiles, fake smiles, and smiling smiles... Some of them laugh to cover up a certain purpose, some to confuse others; some do not want others to see their vulnerability; some habitually pull up the corners of their mouths; some laugh with satisfaction of their wishes being fulfilled... They all have their own reasons for laughing, and they always have various wishes. They never know what contentment is and always want to get more.

The junior brother's smile comes from the heart. He smiles for no reason, just because he is happy. He might smile because of eating delicious food, because of a sudden breeze, because of seeing flowers blooming, because of seeing him practicing martial arts, or even... he will smile when he sees him.

The junior brother said that this was a normal reaction to seeing beautiful things. Well, maybe in the junior brother's heart, he was also a beautiful thing. He had a noble status, handsome looks, both civil and military talents, and outstanding abilities. It seemed that he was indeed perfect. Gradually, he got used to the existence of the junior brother. Having someone to accompany him for dinner every day was more delicious than eating alone!

In the following years when he was on the battlefield, his junior fellow apprentice sent him a lot of food and daily necessities every year. In terms of feelings, he had always envied others, but in the past few years on the battlefield, because of the things his junior fellow apprentice often sent him, he had always been the object of envy of everyone in the barracks.

Because of the junior brother, among all the soldiers, he received the most packages, and the things in the packages were the most delicious. His family also cared about him the most. With his personality, he was not the kind of person who could blend in well with the crowd, but because the things sent by the junior brother were so delicious, many soldiers shamelessly tried to get close to him, the kind that even his cold face could not drive away.

Only then did he realize that the saying "food is the first necessity of the people" was very true.

Also because of these pickles, it was easier for him to get along with the soldiers, and he integrated into their group easily. It’s just that too many people were concerned about his pickles, but this feeling was... pretty good.

The impression of his junior brother was also more vivid. On the battlefield, he thought more about his junior brother. He thought that when he came back, his junior brother would have grown up and would be very different from what he imagined. He was also worried that they had been separated for too long and his junior brother might become alienated from him.

Unexpectedly, when they met for the first time, although it was at night, he found that his junior brother was still as small as ever after five years, and his growth in recent years was not obvious. The estrangement that Yun Qinghan had originally imagined immediately disappeared for the most part.

Then, when he entered the city, his junior brother held a ceremony to welcome him. Amid the flying petals, his junior brother looked as handsome as before. His carefree, gloomy smile made his heart skip a beat, and an indescribable joy suddenly welled up from the bottom of his heart.

Afterwards, he found that the only thing his junior brother had grown in age over the past five years was his age. Everything else was the same as before, still small and cheerful, smiling and chubby every day, always happy. The hostility he had developed on the battlefield due to too much killing had subsided a lot around his junior brother, and he felt relaxed and happy when getting along with him.

Looking at these women now, they are really boring. The strong smell of makeup on them makes me want to stay away from them. They are not as good as my junior brother's scent, which is fresh, light and elegant. I feel relaxed when I am around him.

Oh, it would be great if the junior brother was a girl. He would marry her immediately and collect lots of delicious food for her, making her happy every day. Even if she was in a bad mood, as long as she was the junior brother, he would be happy to coax her.

"e=(′o｀*)))Alas...." How could he not be a girl? Yun Qinghan sighed with pity. His junior brother was so delicate and soft that it was a pleasure to hold him every day. If his junior brother was a girl, he would marry her and hold her every day. Unfortunately, as a senior brother, it was ok for him to have occasional candlelight chats at night, but it was inconvenient to do so more often. It was such a pity.

Hearing the young master's sigh, Huo Feng endured it again and again, and then said carefully:

"My Lord, what's wrong with you? Why don't we go and take a closer look? Maybe we can find something you like!"

"Don't be so nosy. Pay attention to the time. When it's almost time to leave, find my junior brother and we can go back together. This banquet is really boring."

Huo Feng: “.............Yes!”

There are so many girls here, it would be strange if you didn't go to see them, it would be interesting in such a remote place.

It's such a big place, why don't we just go back after finishing? Why do we have to go back together? We also need Young Master Ye to go with us. As expected, Young Master Ye has always been very popular with the prince.
