When the old Emperor was feeling uneasy, Sikong Mo sincerely spoke, "As Your Majesty said, I am already honored as the War King, with no lack of riches, but..." Sikong Mo’s eyes furtively glanced past the Prince behind him, but it was just for a mont, unnoticed by anyone.
However, even if it was just a mont, it didn’t escape the Prince’s eyes.
Sikong Mo’s words only paused briefly, then he continued, "But, the War Prince Residence is still lacking a female master!"
Imdiately, the crowd was in an uproar.
Who didn’t know that War King Sikong Mo, although handso as an immortal, had a heart as elusive as a specter, especially when dealing with won.
The Sikong Royal Residence, a gathering of power and wealth, Sikong Mo was outstanding, inheriting the title at a young age, and was also titled as the War God of Dongyue. More than a decade ago, countless young ladies were infatuated with him.
However, those young ladies who had intentions towards Sikong Mo were all like moths to a fla, leading to their own ruin.
Looking back, it was also in the Capital City, when the eldest daughter of the Pri Minister admired Prince Sikong, it was known to all, but unfortunately, her earnest request bore no fruit. She intended to have a chance encounter on the street, seizing the chance to fall into Sikong Mo’s arms, but as a man, Sikong Mo not only was indifferent to her throwing herself at him but also directly waved her away.
Who knew whether it was intentional or a coincidence, the dignified Pri Minister’s daughter happened to fall onto a beggar on the street, in a very indecent posture.
The story of a beggar marrying a wealthy lady, of course, did not exist here.
The final result was Sikong Mo waving his sleeves and leaving, and the Pri Minister’s daughter, because she fell onto a beggar in public, had to enter a convent to preserve her reputation.
To this day, that Pri Minister’s daughter is still practicing Buddhism in the temple!
And the Pri Minister Residence beca a joke, the Pri Minister’s old face lost its shine, eventually having to resign and return ho.
The Pri Minister’s daughter’s incident was nothing, the news from Fengyang City was even more outrageous, so even said the War King was bloodthirsty, needing to drink the fresh blood of virgins daily, and people claid to have often seen won’s corpses being carried out of the War King’s room.
Rumors are fiercer than tigers, with Fengyang City a thousand miles away from the capital city, no one knew whether these tales were true or false, but they were successful in deterring those who dared harbor intentions towards Sikong Mo.
And now, Sikong Mo, who was long rumored to disdain won, actually said that the War Prince Residence was still without a female master, this was indeed a rarity, like red rain from the sky.
And, Sikong Mo’s words perfectly aligned with the old Emperor’s thoughts.
He was contemplating how to make Sikong Mo accept his arranged marriage, but he didn’t expect Sikong Mo to speak up on his own.
It didn’t matter who he had in mind, as long as he was willing to marry, then the matter would be easy to handle.
Thinking this, the old Emperor laughed heartily, "It seems that the War King and I have thought alike, as they say, when a man cos of age, he should marry, and when a woman cos of age, she should wed. War King, there’s no need for this, rise and speak."
Kneeling further was aningless, Sikong Mo imdiately thanked and stood up.
Then, the old Emperor spoke again, "Just yesterday, I was thinking, the War King is now 25 years old, at an age where he should have long since married and started a family, but has been delayed for various reasons.
Now, with Nanchang changing dynasties due to internal strife, the new monarch is willing to negotiate with our Dongyue, the frontier border is now peaceful, and the War King’s marriage is pressing.
Today, I shall take charge, I wonder if the War King has an eye on any Aristocratic Family’s daughter, if not, I..."
"Your Majesty, I already have soone I admire," Sikong Mo interjected again.
