C17 (1/2)

This was a warning to her to hurry up and take action as soon as she saw the situation, so as to prevent others from snatching it away.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was used to picking girls, and for a period of three years, it would be a small election. They wouldn't force their daughter to participate, and once every five years, it would be a general election. In other words, the fifth year after the small election, the various provinces would send many beauties to the palace for selection.

After Yang Zixuan heard the news, his eyebrows twitched and he immediately asked: ”Father, are women going to be chosen from the palace this year?”

”Yes, I heard that the Grand Preceptor took advantage of the fact that His Majesty is about to seal his brush to perform before the end of the year. He said that most of the palace maids are too old and need an election.”

Three years ago? It was the Grand Preceptor's personal performance again! This was a delicate matter, so he asked, ”Then did the emperor agree?” Yang Zixuan was secretly anxious.

Seeing him like that, Madam Hou felt a bit of unhappiness in his heart, and immediately asked: ”Xuan'er? Why do you ask? ”

Even though the Marquis had said that he would give Huang Lian'er to Yang Zizhi, she hoped dearly that Yang Zixuan would marry Huang Lian. At that time, she would have a way to hold Huang Lian down, and that would be equivalent to holding onto Yang Zixuan.

In the past, he had always said he wanted to study at Shangguan. Most of the time, he wasn't at home, and only at the end of the year or during the holidays were there a few days.

Firstly, Yang Zixuan lived in the front courtyard, and secondly, the other party had truly been on unusually tight guard. Besides Xiao Tong, who was accompanying his, no one else was able to get close to his.

He continued, ”Don't worry. Mother will help you inquire about your marriage.”

How could Yang Zixuan not know that she was planning all this? He laughed and said: I am asking for my brother, Mother, I am afraid you have to hurry, if the Emperor really wants to pick my daughter, I am afraid that this time, brother will be able to pick a good one.

Every time a girl was chosen, the people would always match up with her. Only, they wished that they could see their own daughter from time to time instead of having their flesh and blood separated after entering the palace.

”Is that true? And what age is it? ” She still asked Marquis of Loyalty somewhat disbelievingly.

”Hurry up and settle the engagement for Zi Zhi and Juan Er. I heard that this time, the Grand Preceptor has a report that it's a peaceful day in the Great Zhou, and he should open the gates of the palace wide for women to enter the imperial harem. ”In addition, you should also worry more about Zi Xuan's marriage. If you look at a few families, you can find a fortunate lady to marry into them.”

What did it mean to be blessed, to have both father and mother, both siblings, this was being fortunate, these were the words he had said to sever Huang Lian's desire to become Yang Zixuan's official wife.

She was already seventeen, so when she heard this news, her heart was immediately thrown into disorder. None of the two elders that were just sitting there stood up for her, and she also thought about how her parents could drag this marriage to this day.

Madam Hou wanted to pull Huang Lian'er, but he heard Marquis of Loyalty speak out today. This meant that he did not fancy Huang Lian, but his expression was a little unnatural. In the end, he felt that he owed his own niece, so he could only bury his head in his food and not speak.

After Yang Zixuan received the letter, he could not help but be restless and did not want to create trouble, while the Madam Hou also had heavy thoughts.

The Marquis of Loyalty had always respected the Madam Hou as a guest, and with the addition of the new tender words of explanation from the palace, his thoughts were already on the new aunt, and he was unwilling to speak any further with the Madam Hou.

On the table, only Yang Zizhi, who was in his twenties, ate happily. Even Yang Juan Er knew to hide his actions.

The atmosphere in the hall was depressing. No one was in the mood to appreciate delicious food, so they quickly finished their meal and dispersed.

After a few more days, Master Hou called Yang Zixuan over to the study room.

”Father!”

”Come in!” He sent another servant out.

Looking at Yang Zixuan who looked exactly the same as his late aunt, he pointed to the chair with a sigh and said: ”Don't worry.

”Father, why have you entered the palace today?” Yang Zixuan went straight to the point.

Marquis of Loyalty laughed bitterly, he had hoped that his own son would work hard and not raise a trash that only liked to be smeared with fat and powdered, but luckily he had Yang Zixuan, this bastard son, to comfort him.

”Sigh, if your elder brother had half of your intelligence, your father would be at ease.”

The two of them were both his sons, and were originally fond of his legitimate son, but he did not expect the bastard son to be like him with such an outstanding status. He did not want to raise his status, so the two of them were unwilling to do so.

He pondered for a moment and said: ”That day when we were eating in the hall, I saw that your mother wanted to give you her niece. Are you willing?” Although Zi Zhi wants to take her in, but this matter is not settled yet. ”

He was not willing, but he still had to ask for Yang Zixuan's consent on the surface.
