The Princess Chooses Her Husband

Chapter 3

"Cough!" Nangong Ruo coughed and said in a low voice, "They didn't feel anything! And, what do you think they feel about me?" She blushed and quickly raised her cup to take a sip of tea to cover up the embarrassment.

"Er... there really isn't any!"

"Besides, even if they don't care about their feelings, they should at least find a talent who can govern the country to be the emperor's husband! I've read their articles and found that there are no particularly outstanding people!"

"You're not even pointing at him when it comes to governing the country. You and I aren't enough!" Nangong Yan grumbled in a low voice.

"If you don't point at him to govern the country, then you should at least have a feeling! I don't have a feeling, and I can't govern the country. What am I going to do?" Nangong Ruo retorted in a low voice.

"You're right! Maybe he's afraid of you, just like those ministers!"

"Nangong Yan, no one will treat you as a mute if you don't speak!" Nangong Ruo's eyes turned cold.

"Haha, please spare my life! I know I'm wrong! Alas! Poor guy! When will you be able to get married? Where are all the elegant young men in this world? Alas! Even if I can't appreciate your cold face, I still have a beautiful woman who is tough on the outside but soft on the inside to be appreciated!"

"Nangong Yan!"

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Narcissistic, please go to the door!"

"Daughter, I really don't like it! It doesn't matter. Tell me, if I really can't do it, my father will bestow marriage upon you! I'll see if he dares to refuse!" The Emperor of the Shang Nan Kingdom could not help but ask his precious daughter, who was in men's clothing, who was sitting in his seat.

"Imperial Father! I've told you, really not! Alright, Imperial Father! Don't come up with any ideas here. I still have to read the memorials to the throne. Could you please go to the back garden to see the flowers?" Nangong Ruo raised his hand to send the guests away.

"This is the Imperial Study!"

"I know!"

"My dragon throne is on your butt!"

"I know! It's not very comfortable to sit!"

"It's not up to you to send our guest off! I'm the master of the imperial study!" With that, the emperor, who had grown up with a pair of great literary and martial talents, and the daughter of a great divine physician, suddenly straightened his back.

"Oh! I really shouldn't be here to see you off! Well, I'll leave then. I'll have to trouble you, father, to finish reading the memorials to the throne! I'll embroider some flowers and go to a flower handymen's lake to talk about poetry and song with those young ladies." Then he was about to throw the memorial away.

"Aye, aye! Haha, daughter! Do your best! I'm going to see my father! Ah! Be good! I'll bring you something delicious next time!"

"Father, I'm already 19 years old. It's not like you can just coax a child with a candy."

"I know! How about bringing a man back for you next time?" His Majesty was a man of business.

Nangong Ruo smiled slightly, and the temperature in the imperial study suddenly dropped a few degrees. "Father!"

"Yes!" The Emperor's legs seemed to have softened after standing for too long. "Oh dear, Father has been here for so long, why don't you give him a seat?" The Emperor was furious but he would not tell anyone!

"Let's think about the problem of spending money over the years!"

"Er! Uh! Your mother just called me! You know, your mother has always been strict. Uh-huh, well, my father has to go first! You don't have to see me off, huh!"

###Chapter4,The War is about to begin

"Princess, Lord Wang wants to see you."

"Yes!" Nangong Ruo answered coldly. Under normal circumstances, she would only be kinder to her family members. As for the others, she was strict with them. How dare she talk and laugh to them! A ruler must be dignified!

"The princess is a thousand years old!" A handsome man in a second-grade official uniform walked in with trepidation and bowed down to salute.

"Please rise, Your Excellency Wang." Nangong Ruoxu helped him up.

"Thank you, Princess!"

Under normal circumstances, as long as the Emperor and the Queen were not present, all the officials would call them "a thousand years a thousand years a princess" rather than "the auspiciousness of a princess". This was because the court was strict, and so were the thousand years a thousand years a day. The "miracle" was more useful in the likes of women. Although princesses were women, when the Emperor was not around, they served as governments for the country. Therefore, he did not use the "mirity" for the purpose of "a thousand years". But when the Emperor and the Queen were present, they would naturally use the words "prolongity" when they saw the palace maids appear.

"Mr. Wang, what can I do for you?"

"Your Highness, today's urgent report is that Haolan Kingdom in the east is stationed at the border. News has come about that Haolan Kingdom recently. The emperor has gone west not long ago, and the third son, King Ming, has taken the throne."

"I remember this King Ming. He is so happy that he is willing to open up the territory and leave a name for himself." Nangong Ruo held her chin.

"That's the person. King Ming ascended the throne half a month ago. We only received news today, but I'm afraid the messenger from the Haolan Kingdom has come to send a message recently. I wonder what sort of attitude we're going to have to deal with him!"

"In a war between two countries, envoys should not be beheaded. We should treat them well! If they dare to come, please protect them along the way, Your Excellency Wang. Don't let a fly go back and forth!" Nangong Ruo put down his hand and said coldly.

"Yes! I will obey the order! Do you send troops to the border as well?"

"Humph! How can I not be wary of King Ming? I just don't know who his general is." Nangong Ruo picked up the cinnabar pen on the table.

"Fourth Son, King Chu Mo Long!"

"Mo Long!" Nangong Ruo put down the red pen in her hand. "It's the Black-clothed War Saint that was passed down to him!"

"Yes, it's him!"

"How is the strength of our army compared to it?"

"We're at the same level!"

"How is my second sister compared with him?"

"The second princess is highly skilled in martial arts. She uses her army like a god and is very brave and careful. She has great prestige among the three armies! The countries are quite famous! So is the King of Chu in Haolan Kingdom. Forgive me for my incompetence and indiscreetness. I think they are also on the same level."

"May I know your status in Haolan Kingdom? How is your relationship with the Emperor of Haolan Kingdom? Can you tell me some of your information regarding the King of Haolan Kingdom?"

"Yes! I dare not make any mistakes! I will tell you everything I know! King Chu, Mo Long's mother, was a palace maid of Haolan Kingdom. Later, she lost her throne to King Chu because of her birth, and she was unhappy with the Emperor who passed away because of Haolan Kingdom. His name is Mo Long!"

Nangong Ruo nodded. He was secretly delighted, but he was still expressionless and motioned for Lord Wang to continue.

"When he was young, the King of Chu was given a title and followed his senior general, Lin Weijun, to the border. Later, he was rewarded many times for his meritorious service, but he was not allowed to return to the capital!"

"Er!" Nangong Ruo interrupted Wang's explanation and asked, "Do you have military power in his hands?"

"It is said that the military talisman is in the hands of a general at his side. The Emperor doesn't trust him! But it's just an excuse which can't be trusted completely!"

Nangong Ruo said coldly, "How can I not take charge of the talisman when leading the troops in a war? Do I have to take with me all the time? Or is the King of Chu really so stupid to kill that general secretly? When the time comes and the power of the army is in control, and the emperor is far away, who can do anything to him?"

"Well, I don't know. But I heard that King Chu is extremely filial! His mother Xi'er is still in the palace! I'm afraid she is!"

Nangong Ruo waved his hand slightly to interrupt Lord Wang's speculation and said, "I don't know anything! What do I need secret guards for?" Nangong Ruo's tone did not change at all, but it only scared Lord Wang to break out in a cold sweat and he hurriedly knelt down to confess his sins!

Nangong Ruo waved his hand slightly and said, "Let's continue! When I have time, I will go to the secret guard camp!"

"Yes! Yes! I will make good preparation!" Lord Wang wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead and continued, "The current Emperor Haolan is the daughter of the Queen. He is legitimate! He was incompatible with the King of Chu since childhood!"

"Something doesn't fit? Are you sure?" Nangong Ruo asked in reply.

" humble subject, humble subject should die. I can't be sure... if they have any secret interactions with each other..."

"Well, tell me your guess!" Nangong Ruo rubbed her eyebrows.

"Yes!" His Excellency Wang wiped his cold sweat again and stood up. He continued, "King Chu is arrogant. I don't think he should have a good relationship with King Chu!"

"I wonder how King Chu's mother is doing in the palace?" Nangong Ruo's expression did not change. However, Lord Wang could tell that she was disappointed in him. He felt a wave of cold air surge into his heart and could not help but panic.

"Xi'er lives in the corner of the palace. It's not good for food and clothing. I once sent people to investigate the situation of King Chu. I learned that Xi'er also received a cold eye from the imperial concubines in the palace."

"It seems that the relationship between the Emperor of Haolan Kingdom and King Chu is not very good!"

"Yes! Yes!" Lord Wang immediately received it.

"I see! Is there anything else to add?"

"No! No! When I go back, I will send someone to investigate Xiyi and the military talisman. I will also send someone to investigate the relationship between Haolan Country's Emperor and King Chu! When I get the news, I will report it to the princess immediately!"

"Yes! Lord Wang!"

"Your humble subject is here!"

"Next time when you do things, remember to use your brain and distinguish the order of things. Value! I believe that you are working very hard and hard! But I prefer people who have credit!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"You can go!" Nangong Ruo picked up the red pen. There were still many memorials to the throne to be approved! Alas!

"Yes! I'm leaving!" Lord Wang bowed and left.

"Eh! Big Sister! Why is Lord Wang leaving with a pale face? Is he sick? Hey! Boss, you are so cruel! You can't even ask for leave when you are sick! What a poor top scholar of the Wangs! He is aging before he gets old! I used to think that he would be my brother-in-law! Gee..." Nangong Yan shook her head as she walked in the direction that Lord Wang had left.

"You've had a lot of free time lately!" Nangong Ruo said coldly.

"All right, boss, I have nothing to do except for training the soldiers!" Nangong Yan curled her lips slightly and leaned lazily on the pillar of the hall in a tight suit. She didn't plan to salute. She tied a braid with cloth and slightly swayed it to drive her hair flying.
