69: Child son-in-law?
Hearing Yang Yanjun's question, Nangong Yu slightly raised his head and said in a soft, cute voice, "Even if we exclude age, you still don't meet Second Imperial Sister's standards for a husband!"
"What do you mean?"
Yang Yanjun's brows furrowed slightly. He, the dignified Second Prince of the Dongyan Empire, didn't meet the standards for a husband of the Clear Serenity Second Imperial Daughter?
Isn't this still a suitable match?
Everyone also looked at Nangong Yu, their eyes filled with curiosity.
However, Nangong Yu shook his head slightly and said, "Although Second Imperial Sister is only Imperial Uncle's second daughter, she is Imperial Aunt's eldest daughter, and her only daughter!"
"Imperial Aunt, as the Empress of the Qingyou Empire, her eldest daughter should marry a Dragon and Phoenix among men. Otherwise, Imperial Aunt would not agree."
"In this way, Imperial Uncle, who has an excellent relationship with Imperial Aunt, naturally wouldn't agree to take her feelings into consideration. What do you think?"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but smile.
They looked at Yang Yanjun, who had an unpleasant expression, wanting to laugh but feeling it was inappropriate, so they could only hold it in!
Yang Yanjun's mouth twitched again. So, they were just using an excuse to shut him up?
But for this reason, he somewhat didn't want to argue anymore.
He was afraid that if he argued further, he would be criticized as useless again.
The main reason was that his Spiritual Root was indeed not very good; it was only High Grade.
If his Spiritual Root had been of the highest quality, he would have argued with Nangong Yu a few more times!
Yang Yanjun cupped his hands slightly and sat down directly.
Seeing this, Nangong Aotian then put away the smile on his face, looked at Yang Yanjun and said, "Second Prince of Eastern Flame, do you still wish to propose marriage?"
Yang Yanjun's mouth twitched slightly. He cupped his hands and said, "Qingyou Emperor, this junior was presumptuous. No, I will not propose!"
"Alright then!"
Nangong Aotian, still somewhat unsatisfied, turned to look in the direction of the Western Mist envoys, his gaze falling on the Seventh Prince, Ji Wuhen, but saw that the other party didn't even look up at him.
The Second Prince of Eastern Flame had already suffered a crushing defeat, so why should he, a Seventh Prince of Western Mist, join in the fun?
Moreover, you've already said you only favor a marriage alliance with Ji Yuwei, so why are you still looking at me?
Ji Wuhen grumbled in his heart, looking at the delicacies in front of him, yet feeling somewhat dispirited.
Seeing that they remained silent, Nangong Aotian turned to look in the direction of the Silver Moon Empire envoys, his gaze falling on Prince Pingchuan, Ye Muchen.
Ye Muchen smiled slightly and said, "Qingyou Emperor, you don't need to look at us. We currently have no such intention."
"And even if we did, even if this King were to say it, I believe you wouldn't agree!"
"Oh?"
Nangong Aotian suddenly became a little interested and asked, "Hearing you say that, it seems you really have a favored candidate?"
Hearing this, everyone in the hall couldn't help but look over, their eyes filled with more curiosity.
Now that Ji Cunxi of Western Mist and Yang Yanjun of Eastern Flame had successively stumbled, would all three envoy groups be wiped out?
Seeing everyone looking over, Prince Pingchuan, Ye Muchen, was unfazed.
She merely curled her lips into a smile and said, "Our Silver Moon Empire's Empress has just ascended the throne and does not yet have a husband. I imagine she wouldn't mind raising a child son-in-law. What do you think, Prince of Zhenbei?"
At these words, the entire hall instantly fell silent.
The Red Spiritual Fruit Nangong Yu had just held in his hand unknowingly rolled away.
How did this fire burn its way to me?
He looked up slightly, blinked, his expression still somewhat bewildered.
This look was simply too adorable, making one unable to resist... reaching out to rub his head!
Nangong Aotian evidently hadn't expected that his casual question would lead Ye Muchen to set her sights on Nangong Yu.
Had he known, he wouldn't have asked.
Not far away, Shangguan Yuexi looked somewhat worried, genuinely fearing that Nangong Aotian would sell Nangong Yu off.
However, it should be impossible. After all,
the Zhenbei Army now swore allegiance to Nangong Yu. Nangong Aotian should not let this army leave, and naturally would not let Nangong Yu leave!
As for Ye Muchen, seeing everyone silent, she couldn't help but smile and say, "This shouldn't be a problem, right? After all, our Empress has a noble status, and having the Prince of Zhenbei as her husband wouldn't be an insult to him!"
"As for asking the Empress to personally come to propose marriage, that wouldn't be appropriate, right? It seems there's no problem!"
Hearing this, everyone's expressions were subtle, and for a moment, they didn't know what to say.
Who didn't know that Prince of Zhenbei, Nangong Yu, controlled the Clear Serenity's first army, the Zhenbei Army?
In such circumstances, it should be impossible for the Prince of Zhenbei to become a husband from another country.
So, why was Prince Pingchuan of the Silver Moon Empire saying this?
Was it just to hear Nangong Aotian refuse?
Nangong Aotian also gave a wry smile, looking down at the little person beside him.
Half a year old!
A child son-in-law?
This idea was truly out of this world!
At this moment, Nangong Yu waved his hand and said, "I... I probably don't qualify, right? After all, I only have a Medium Grade Gold Spiritual Root. I'm still far from being worthy of being the Empress's husband!"
Hearing this, everyone nodded slightly, clearly finding it reasonable.
After all, the Empress's husband should at least be a Dragon and Phoenix among men. It's impossible for her to want a Trash whose growth potential is already set, right?
Everyone thought: Perhaps this reason is enough to dissuade Prince Pingchuan?
But they looked up at Prince Pingchuan, only to see her shake her head slightly and smile, "Little Prince, you are mistaken. Our Silver Moon Empire's Empress merely wants a husband who has some background, understands etiquette, and is sensible. We don't necessarily want someone with strong growth potential!"
"Little Prince, your mind is exquisite and transparent. At just half a year old, you have already displayed considerable wisdom, which is enough to be chosen as the Empress's husband. I believe the Empress will also approve of my decision!"
Hearing this, Nangong Yu was dumbfounded.
This time, he was truly dumbfounded. Were the requirements for the Empress's husband really that low?
Nangong Yu shook his head, wanting to say he was still so young, but the other party had already said 'child son-in-law'!
He wanted to say he hadn't met the other person yet, but then he remembered this was a Cultivator world similar to ancient times, no longer that other world.
In this world, there were plenty of people who hadn't met before marriage; his reason wouldn't hold water.
As for not coming in person, lacking sincerity, and so on, the other party had already explained and dismissed it.
Nangong Yu was truly at a loss at this moment.
He could also directly have Ying Mei refuse with force, but wouldn't that expose his secret?
Nangong Yu was helpless and could only look eagerly at Nangong Aotian. Imperial Uncle started this, so Imperial Uncle should figure it out!
Nangong Aotian couldn't help but shake his head slightly. He also hadn't expected the other party to set their sights on Nangong Yu!
Even if it were directed at his two sons, he would find it reasonable, but for Nangong Yu, he truly hadn't expected it!
Seeing that everyone was silent, Prince Pingchuan curved her lips and spoke again, "Qingyou Emperor, Prince of Zhenbei is still young. Why don't you make this decision?"
Nangong Aotian heard this and couldn't help but smile wryly.
He pondered for a moment before looking up at Ye Muchen and slowly spoke.
