The Emperor laughed heartily, "A martial contest? How could a re brawny individual skilled in martial arts be worthy of my daughter? Besides martial arts, they must also compete in wisdom and literary talents, and finally, they must be judged on their character."
In today’s society, those good at literary skills generally do not practice martial arts.
Those proficient in martial arts tend to be simple-minded.
There are indeed people who excel both in literary and martial skills, but such outstanding individuals are bound to be few and far between.
In Moyan Country, those who can be regarded as both skillful in civil and military strategies are likely limited to famous figures like Luo Changfeng, Xuanyuan Yichuan, and Yan Qiye.
Hearing this, Mo Shu felt much relieved and couldn’t help but smile, "Since Father has already decided, I won’t try to persuade further. However, I have two conditions."
The Emperor frowned discontentedly, "You have conditions?"
Mo Shu said, "Of course, after all, this concerns my lifelong happiness."
The Emperor was sowhat displeased but also a bit intrigued, "Speak, let’s hear them."
"Firstly, since this is about choosing a husband for , I think if soone truly persists to the end, the final decision should be mine."
The Emperor was even more displeased, "What do you an? Do you want them to go through nurous trials only to stumble at the last hurdle in your hands?"
Mo Shu nodded, "I want to test his feelings towards . If I am to find a husband, he must genuinely have feelings for before considering anything else. If he doesn’t even sincerely wish to marry , why should I marry him?"
The Emperor thought about it and found so sense in it, nodding, "And the second?"
"Secondly, in the final stage of the martial contest, he must challenge ; at least his martial arts should surpass mine, right? In the literary contest, he must compete against too and at least be more intelligent than , right?"
The Emperor snorted coldly, "You are simply being unreasonable! Do your literary skills and martial arts still need comparison with others? Who could possibly defeat you?"
"That’s not necessarily true," Mo Shu laughed and said, "Among the vast populace, there are certainly many highly talented individuals, and even more who are exceptionally skilled in martial arts. Father should not be so absolute."
The Emperor realized that Mo Shu simply did not want to marry!
Wasn’t this just playing a ga with people?
Mo Shu seed to read the Emperor’s thoughts and said, "Although this is indeed about seeking a suitor, it’s also a great opportunity for Father to identify and select talented civil and military individuals for the court. If we can choose one or two to serve the state, wouldn’t that be killing two birds with one stone?"
The Emperor, hearing this, felt there was so truth in it, and after a mont of silence, he sighed softly, "Fine, fine, I’ll comply with your wishes."
"Thank you, Father!"
