Chapter 722: Chapter 722: Interesting Soul
After discussing Qiao Xiaomai’s family’s agricultural affairs, Yang Ye began discussing his private matter: he wanted to choose a queen from all over Daqi. As long as they were between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, unmarried, well-read, and presentable, they were eligible to be considered.
Status does not matter!
He did not want a noble lady to avoid upsetting Yang Hao; a peasant girl like Qiao Xiaomai would suffice.
If their appearance was passable, that was enough. After all, he was already quite handso. Regardless of who he chose, he would surely outshine them.
Appearance is not important, not important, not important!
There are countless beautiful faces, but unique souls are rare.
What he wanted was soone who could prevent him from feeling lonely, soone who could envelop him in a pink bubble of mutual understanding.
He wanted soone who could accompany him during his pri years so that this ti would not be in vain.
He wanted soone who could witness his golden years.
After hearing his various demands, Yang Wenxiao laughed, “Your standards are quite high.”
“Are they? I’ve set the bar very low!”
“No matter how low you set the bar, there isn’t a single person who can et it,” Yang Wenxiao shook his head.
Why was he so fixated on Liuli?
Because of her distinctive soul.
There were countless beautiful faces in all of Daqi, but only hers held a unique soul.
Because they were few, it was sothing one could yearn for a lifeti.
He hadn’t left the Capital City for thirty years, he endured the hardships of being trapped within its walls. The bitterness he experienced was not sothing he would share with others.
He sighed and said, “Moreover, by choosing a queen, are you trying to drive the girl from the Bai family to death?”
“If she’s so desperate, it doesn’t an I should stay unmarried forever!” Yang Ye responded, sowhat speechless.
“Wait a little longer. Old Bai won’t live more than a couple more years. You can’t have him kneeling and crying in front of at his age. Besides, Haohao went to Shuifeng Prefecture for disaster relief and hasn’t returned yet. It doesn’t look good to hold a public selection for a queen at this ti.”
“If I pay from my own pocket without using the National Treasury’s silver, will that work?” Yang Ye implored.
“No, wait three more years. If you haven’t t the one in three years, I will personally oversee the selection.” Yang Wenxiao said.
Hearing this, Yang Ye slumped in his chair with a groan.
He still had to stay single for three more years!
“Preserve your virtue and do not seek pleasure in brothels.” Yang Wenxiao reminded him.
Hearing this, Yang Ye humd, a brothel?
With his attractiveness, he would not be the one purchasing services; he would be the one sought after by the won there.
He snorted, he wouldn’t commit such a foolish act!
“Alright, alright, you can go out and explore in your free ti. As long as you et soone you like, I will personally organize your wedding.” Yang Wenxiao comforted him.
Yang Ye sighed, his body slumped in the chair as if he was boneless.
After having breakfast with Yang Wenxiao, he left the palace feeling rather deflated. Shortly after returning to his residence, a guard reported: Yang Wang was here.
Yang Ye wanted to say he wasn’t available, but thinking of Yang Wang’s obstinance, he decided to et him anyway.
It would be better to know in advance what Yang Wang was up to.
Soon, Yang Wang entered with a smile on his face. “Little brother, I hadn’t eaten breakfast after morning court. Your house has good food, so I ca to share.”
This attempt at humor made Yang Ye roll his eyes, though he still ordered the maid to prepare sothing in the kitchen.
Although he was often not ho, his kitchen prepared food around the clock.
