After being reborn, I was won over by the heartfelt words of my loyal bodyguard.

Chapter 192: Choosing a Husband

"Your Highness, your subordinates have recently learned of another matter."

Xin Ruyu was a little confused for a moment, not knowing what the guard meant, so he asked him carefully.

The secret guards had already informed Xin Ruyu.

"According to my observation, it seems that the princess from the neighboring country will be returning in a few days."

When Xin Ruyu learned of this, he was shocked in an instant. He never expected that the princess of the neighboring country would actually go back. Was this for real?

"Are you sure the princess wants to go back, or are you just deceiving me here?"

It was obvious that Xin Ruyu was genuinely surprised by this, since the princess from the neighboring country was originally supposed to choose her husband here, but now she hadn't chosen a husband and was going back instead.

What is the reason behind this? And is the princess from the neighboring country here to gather intelligence?

When Lou Yan learned that the princess of the neighboring country was about to leave, he hurriedly informed the prime minister. After the prime minister learned of this, he decided to discuss it with Gan Yanling.

"I wonder what brings the Prime Minister here. Is something wrong that has happened?"

"Your Majesty, you may not know this, but before this, didn't Your Majesty and I leave one person in the princess's residence? Lou Yan then informed me that the princess of the neighboring country would be returning to the neighboring country in a few days."

As for Gan Yanling, she did not want the princess from the neighboring country to go back, but rather hoped that the princess would stay here.

"Your Majesty and I share the same thoughts."

Gan Yanling decided to hold a marriage proposal conference.

Since she is a princess of extraordinary status, only members of aristocratic families can participate.

"Your Majesty, my suggestion is that Your Majesty may make this matter public in the court."

He believed the emperor was a smart man and that the emperor must know what to do. Upon hearing the prime minister's words, Gan Yanling instantly understood how to proceed.

Inside the princess's mansion.

Gan Luo came to see Xu Jiu, but Xu Jiu told Gan Luo, "I am truly grateful for Your Highness's care these past few days. In a couple of days, I will inform the Emperor and ask him to send someone to take me back."

Gan Luo couldn't help but ask Xu Jiu why he wasn't staying there, and Xu Jiu told Gan Luo, "Some things are ultimately beyond our control."

Afterwards, Xu Jiu asked Gan Luo to keep it a secret, and Xu Jiu agreed to tell Gan Luo the reason. After Gan Luo agreed, Xu Jiu took out a letter and handed it to Gan Luo. Gan Luo opened it and read it. He never expected that the monarch of the neighboring country would make Xu Jiu his concubine.

"In this world, I originally thought that my father was the one who loved me the most, but in the end, I was nothing more than a pawn."

Now that Xu Jiu cannot become Gan Yanling's concubine, she has no choice but to leave this place.

Gan Luo was unable to help Xu Jiu with this matter.

"I also want to help you, but I am unable to do so. I want to ask you something: do you like Shangguan Mufeng?"

"Princess, what are you saying? Of course I like Young Master Shangguan. I've liked him since the first moment I saw him. But what good is liking him? He's still nothing in front of the powerful and wealthy, isn't he?"

Gan Luo could only lament in his heart that he was born at the wrong time.

The following day at the court assembly, Gan Yanling brought up Xu Jiu's marriage. Unexpectedly, the ministers in the court started discussing it, while Shangguan Mufeng remained silent.

It was truly baffling that on his first day of court, the discussion turned to Xu Jiu's marriage. How could Shangguan Mufeng bear this? He looked at Gan Yanling.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say to you."

Gan Yanling sat on the dragon throne, looking down at Shangguan Mufeng. This must be Shangguan Mufeng's first day attending court.

On his first day of court, Gan Yanling was quite curious about what he was going to say. The surrounding ministers also turned their attention to Gan Yanling, scrutinizing him closely.

"I never expected your son to attend the court assembly. It's quite a surprise to me. However, as far as I know, your son was ill some time ago. I wonder if he is well now?"

Upon hearing what the official behind him said, Shangguan Nantian's face darkened. He didn't want to pay any attention to the official, as he could hear the sarcasm in the official's tone.

"I believe that the princess's marriage should be decided by her own wishes. As the saying goes, marriage is predestined. The princess is not yet a good match, perhaps because her destined partner has not yet arrived."

Gan Yanling found Shangguan Mufeng's remarks somewhat amusing for a moment. Why? Gan Yanling looked Shangguan Mufeng up and down.

"At this moment, I find what you said to be quite reasonable."

The ministers around him were once again puzzled by Gan Yanling's thoughts.

This young man is just a novice, completely clueless about the intricacies of the court, yet he has won His Majesty's praise by uttering such nonsensical remarks.

"If Your Majesty says so, does Your Majesty agree with my opinion?"

"I do agree with your opinion, but there is something I want to tell you: do you know what the benefits are of having the princess marry into this family?"

How could Shangguan Mufeng not know? But Shangguan Nantian felt that Shangguan Mufeng was acting too emotionally.

Gan Yanling then gave Shangguan Mufeng some examples here, and these examples concerned the world and emotions.

Shangguan Mufeng was completely unable to answer at that moment, but Gan Yanling had already spoken, and Gan Yanling's words won the approval of these ministers. The prime minister was also a little dumbfounded by Gan Yanling.

The Prime Minister never expected that Gan Yanling would utter such remarks, which naturally concerned the relationship between family and country.

And in that instant, they all understood that even a monarch has many things he can't do.

At the beginning, everyone thought that the emperor, who was high above all others, could do whatever he wanted. After all, the emperor was above all others, and no one dared to provoke him. If you did, you would only face death.
