"Aunt, how can a country bumpkin be worthy of Cousin Lizhi?”
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth in the Political Affairs Hall said sourly.
He was Zhangsun Chong, the son of Zhangsun Wuji.
Yesterday, after learning that the Emperor had betrothed the Eldest Princess to someone else, he had rushed to the Political Hall early this morning to ask his aunt for help.
His father told him that only the Empress could change His Majesty's mind.
"Chong-er's words make sense. Aunt will meet him later. If he is untalented, uneducated, and ugly, Aunt will definitely make him retreat!”Empress Zhangsun nodded.
The two of them were aunt and nephew, and there were no outsiders present, so they addressed and spoke as if they were family.
"It's not that I'm selfish, it's just that Biao Younger Sister is of noble birth and has outstanding talent. I really can't bear to see her marry a farmer and suffer grievances!”
"There might be something fishy about this matter. We can only conclude when we see him in person!”
"If the eldest princess of the Tang Empire were to marry a boorish villager, wouldn't she become the laughingstock of the world? Nephew suggested to hold a civil and military gathering to select a person who is both civil and military, talented and talented, to be cousin's horse. I wonder what aunt's opinion is?”
"This…!"
Empress Zhangsun frowned slightly, seemingly moved.
She also did not want her daughter to marry a boor who farmed. If she could hold a groom search festival to make that kid retreat, this would be a good idea.
"Reporting to the Empress, Young Master Li has brought…!”
Just as the two of them were talking, a group of palace maids walked in with baskets.
Eunuch Xu followed closely behind, and behind him was a white-robed youth.
"Son-in-law Li Xuan greets Mother-in-law!”
After the youth entered the hall, he bowed in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
"Is this the countryside villager that Chong-er spoke of?”
Looking at the young man in front of her, Empress Zhangsun could not help but be stunned. This boy had delicate features and was elegant and handsome. He was like a banished immortal who had descended into the mortal world, ethereal and otherworldly!
How did he look like a country bumpkin at all?
Could it be that his nephew was spreading rumors?
For a moment, she was slightly absent-minded, ignoring Li Xuan's rude words.
"How dare you! How dare you spout nonsense in front of the Empress?”
Seeing him enter and address the empress as his mother-in-law, Zhangsun Chong couldn't help but sneer inwardly. He pointed at Li Xuan and berated him sternly.
Calling her mother-in-law before marrying the princess was a crime of great disrespect!
He was just wondering how to deal with this love rival, but he did not expect that this kid would actually take the initiative to bump into Ghost Head Blade.
Since this kid was courting death, then he couldn't be blamed!
No matter what, he had to ruin this marriage today!
"Chong-er, don't be rude!"
Just as he was secretly feeling smug and ruthless in his heart, an unexpected scene happened. He saw that his aunt, who had always protected him, not only did she not order that kid to be arrested, but she even berated him.
Did the sun rise from the west?
"Aunt…!"
Zhangsun Chong was a little puzzled and felt a little wronged. He did not understand why his aunt was biased towards an outsider.
"Alright, all of you are young geniuses. Don't hurt your harmony because of a battle of loyalty!”
Empress Zhangsun said with a double meaning.
Compared to his benevolent appearance earlier, his expression now had a hint of sternness.
"Yes, sir!"
Like a deflated balloon, Zhangsun Chong cupped his hands in dejection and took two steps back.
You're that…Li Xuan who planted the sweet potatoes?”
Empress Zhangsun sized up Li Xuan curiously and asked indifferently.
"Yes, son-in-law!"
Li Xuan cupped his hands politely and nodded.
At the same time, he was also curiously sizing up Zhangsun Wugou. There was not a hint of reverence in his eyes.
It was no wonder that Princess Chang Le was so beautiful. It was because of her good genes!
If he had been born ten years earlier, Li Er would probably have nothing to do with him!
Cough, cough…You're thinking too far ahead!
With a slight ya-ya, he quickly collected his thoughts!
"You haven't married Lizhi yet, don't shout!”
Empress Zhangsun saw that he followed the folk custom and called her mother-in-law. Her pretty face turned cold and she pretended to be stern.
However, there was a hint of anger in her serious expression.
This anger ruined her dignified temperament and solemn expression.
