Chapter 190 The Emperor’s Eldest Daughter

Chapter 190: The Emperor's Eldest Daughter

Zhu'er suddenly laughed and said teasingly, "Oh, Zhu'er has finally figured it out. Your Highness, your heart has already fallen on Ye Qianhu!"

"Gui Bu De, last night the Queen asked you to meet Captain Ye to see if he suited your taste, and you agreed without even thinking about it. It turns out that you have already fallen in love with him!"

"You stupid Zhu'er, you stinky Zhu'er, how dare you make fun of me!" Zhu Huan's pretty face instantly turned red with shame, and she couldn't help but raise her little fist in anger and start playing around.

After a moment, the exhausted Zhu Huan counterattacked: "If Ye Qianhu really becomes a prince consort in the future, I will make you a trial marriage maid!"

In ancient times, a princess’s marriage was a major event and could not be neglected.

However, the marriage between a princess and her prince consort was usually arranged by the emperor, unlike in later generations where they needed a period of dating to get to know each other.

Therefore, in order to confirm the candidate's moral character, living habits, and most importantly, his ability to have children, young palace maids would usually be selected from the palace to live with the prospective prince consort for a period of time to test the above indicators.

Only after confirming that there are no problems will the princess be officially married to her prince consort.

"Ha, I don't want that!" Zhu'er curled her lips, "After all, I wasn't poisoned by Ye Qianhu!"

"You're laughing at me again!" There was a fight in the carriage again.

At this time, Ye Xuan, who was leading the way, had no idea that because of the song "Song of Peach Blossom Cottage" he sang at the garden poetry party, he had won countless fans not only among the people but also in the harem.

Even the emperor's eldest daughter Zhu Huan was one of them.

If Ye Xuan knew this would be the result, he would never plagiarize.

Along the way, there were birds singing and flowers blooming, and soon we arrived at the pre-selected outing spot.

It is a small waterfall at the foot of Qixia Mountain, with a quiet and pleasant scenery.

But when Ye Xuan arrived, he was dumbfounded.

I saw that under the waterfall, someone had already arrived first, and a group of young men and women were drinking and having fun.

Ye Xuan shook his head. Although he was not a bully, today was the day when the Emperor's eldest daughter went out for an outing, so he had no choice but to act like a bully.

Ye Xuan rode forward, took out the Jinyiwei token, waved it in front of everyone, and shouted: "Jinyiwei is here for requisition, all outsiders, please leave immediately!"

After saying that, Wang Feihu, Song Zhenshan and others behind him, along with a dozen Jinyiwei, began to drive them away.

However, these people did not show any fear. Instead, they pointed at Ye Xuan's nose and scolded him.

"You are a henchman of the Imperial Guards. Why do you chase us away?"

"You, a warrior, do you know what first come first served means?"

"I just don't believe it. What kind of business could the Jinyiwei have in requisitioning this place?"

"Yes, I think he wants to take advantage of the reputation of the Jinyiwei to dominate the beautiful scenery here!"

"You bastard! Get out of here now, or you'll be in big trouble!"

Ye Xuan originally felt a little apologetic. After all, the other person came first, and it was indeed unreasonable for him to suddenly drive him away. However, since this was the eldest princess who wanted to come for an outing, he had no choice.

But these young men in luxurious clothes acted like hawks when they opened their mouths and like common people when they kept silent, which made Ye Xuan furious.

Since you guys won't accept my toast, you can't blame me for being rude. With a clang, he drew out the embroidered spring sword from his waist, and swung it forward in the air with murderous intent, scaring the men into retreating in panic.

There were even a few people who accidentally tripped and fell to the ground. Seeing that Ye Xuan was just trying to scare them, they immediately became angry and embarrassed.

One of the handsome young men angrily dusted himself off and asked angrily, "What's your name? Which unit in the Pacification Department are you from? Do you know who I am?"

"My father Li Shanchang!"

"Oh!" Ye Xuan was slightly surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect to meet the son of Duke of Korea Li Shanchang here.

However, Ye Xuan was not afraid. After all, he had dealt with Liu Bowen and Hu Weiyong for a period of time. He could chat and laugh even in front of them, not to mention that he was just a second-generation.

Ye Xuan's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of sarcasm.

"So you are the son of a Korean noble family. How disrespectful."

However, the onlookers did not see Ye Xuan's ridicule, and thought that Ye Xuan was scared, and said arrogantly: "You are blind, this is the eldest son of the Duke of Korea, Prince Li Qi!"

In the Ming Dynasty, the eldest son of a Duke would usually be named the Crown Prince, or the future heir to the title of Duke, while the rest of his sons could only be called Princes.

In order to highlight Li Qi's status, the lackey specifically pointed out Li Qi's identity as the eldest son.

However, Ye Xuan still had a half-smile on his face, which made the few people so angry that they felt as if they had suffered a great humiliation.

This is not surprising. As the prince of the Kingdom of Korea, anyone who can play with Li Qi must at least have a father who is a second-rank official, and is usually arrogant and domineering.

But at this moment, the convoy that was lagging behind slowly came over.

Looking at the ceremonial guards that only the royal family can use, as well as the large number of Jinyiwei and a small number of Jinwuwei guards.

These second-generations were not stupid either, and they immediately realized that the emperor and his nobles had arrived.

Everyone thought angrily, no wonder the Jinyiwei in front of them were so arrogant, it turned out they were just relying on the power of their masters.

However, the carriage slowly stopped, and Li Qi, who was the most distinguished among the crowd, could only come forward, walked to the side of the carriage and saluted, saying: "It is not only that Your Excellency who has come, but your humble servant, Li Qi, the eldest son of Li Shanchang, the Duke of Korea, is sorry for the offense, and I will take my leave now."

Zhu Huan saw a large group of people on the open ground through the gaps in the car, and immediately understood what was going on. She said with some guilt, "I am the eldest daughter of the emperor, Zhu Huan, and I am honored to meet the prince. Since you got here first, I will not steal your beauty."

After saying that, he was about to instruct Ye Xuan to choose another place for the outing.

However, she didn't know that when she heard Zhu Huan's name, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in Li Qi's lowered eyes.

Because he suddenly remembered that a few days ago, Li Shanchang inexplicably said to him: The emperor's eldest daughter Zhu Huan is already 22 years old and has reached the age to get married. It seems that the emperor will soon choose a son-in-law for his eldest daughter.

Although it sounded puzzling, Li Qi understood what his father meant almost instantly.

If he could marry the future eldest princess, the prestige of the Duke of Korea's Mansion would undoubtedly become even greater, and its position in the court would become more stable.

Moreover, Li Qi himself was also very interested in this 22-year-old princess. After all, he had played with women of all classes, types and ages in his life, but he had never tasted the taste of being a royal descendant.

The most important thing is that I heard that the eldest princess is beautiful and not ugly.

It would be a bit exciting to think about being able to hold the princess under me.

And right now, isn’t this a great opportunity to catch a glimpse of her beauty and get closer to her?
Li Qi immediately tried to persuade him to stay, "Your Highness, please stay!"
