C179 (2/2)

The Imperial Consort Qing's family was known as the Li Clan, and was one of the eight great clans within the Eastern Tang. They had deep roots, were close to Monarchs, and were incomparably loyal to the Qin Emperor.

Seeing his daughter come over, Imperial Consort Qing's dignified expression faded to reveal her love. She raised her hand to stroke Qin Yao's hair and said in a warm voice, ”Mother hasn't seen you these past few days, come over to take a look. Why are you reading those books again?”

Qin Yao laughed, and said: ”Mother, that is a classic scroll left behind by our Eastern Tang Ancestor, even if you read it ten thousand times, it is not considered much.”

”You ah, if you tell your father these words, he might be very happy, but after mother hears it, she will not feel good.” You, ah, if you tell your father these words, he might be very happy, but after mother heard it, she will not feel good.

”Pu ci.” Qin Yao smiled charmingly and said, ”Mother, then don't you often discipline my royal father?”

He did not hide anything from his own daughter as he arrogantly said: ”How can that be lacking? When we were just married, and he did not know how to go up, was it not my mother who took out a duster? ”However, since his talent was good and he started to cultivate seriously, I was no longer able to defeat him. Thus, I could not use the most effective method, and had to think about other things.”

Qin Yao and the Imperial Consort Qing spoke as they walked forward. They sat in the pavilion, looked at the scenery around them and spoke about intimate matters.

Slowly, the sun began to set in the horizon. Stars began to rise into the sky, and a circle of moonlight shined down onto the small pavilion.

The Imperial Palace had long since been lit up by torches, illuminating the entire place. The veranda was illuminated by the candlelight, and the brilliant red color was very distinct.

Those palace maids were all guarding the small pavilion, and only Qin Yao and Imperial Consort Qing were talking to each other inside.

At this time, a praying light rose from the sky and slowly rose into the air. It floated between the buildings and then fell down.

After chatting for an entire afternoon, no matter how stupid Qin Yao was, she was still able to tell that there was something on Imperial Consort Qing's mind. It was as if she wanted to say something to him, but was unwilling to say it.

It was only at this time that Qin Yao asked this question. Only then did Imperial Consort Qing look deeply at her daughter.

”Mother, tell me, even if it's not good news, your daughter is not afraid.” Qin Yao smiled, she was very sensible.

Imperial Consort Qing muttered to herself for a moment, before finally steeling her heart, as she faintly said: ”Yao Yao, you should be seventeen this year, right? At this age, you should consider the major event of your marriage.”

Qin Yao's heart tightened. Indeed, she had faintly felt such a possibility from Imperial Consort Qing's words.

”Daughters aren't big, either,” she said.

Imperial Consort Qing nodded her head, and said: ”Amongst all the princes and princesses, seventeen years old is not very old, the Empress's eldest daughter has already gone over a hundred, and has not married yet. It is just that your cultivation is not high enough, and cannot reach that stage.

Qin Yao lowered his head quietly in silence. After a while, she raised his head again and asked with a smile: ”Then, who should I marry?”

Even though the Imperial Consort Qing felt extremely pained, she still said it out loud: ”Your royal father gave you two choices. One, you should tie the knot and marry the Great Wei Emperor's eldest grandson, Wei Wuji, to the north …”

The Great Wei Empire was also one of the Eternal Emperors. The Emperor's surname was Wei, and Wei Wuji was twenty-two this year. With exceptional talent, he was seen as a strong contender for the future heir of the Great Wei Empire.

”And the second?” Qin Yao asked.

”The second, is to pick from the young people of the Leader Board …”

The moonlight was clear, but Qin Yao still had a smile on her face, but her eyes became sad and bitter, her talent was not good enough, her cultivation was not good, and she could only marry early, no one could blame him.
