The palace maid replied, "That is a disciple of the Pei family from Hedong. His name is Pei Xun, and he is currently an imperial student. His literary talent is outstanding. According to his teacher, if he participates in the imperial examinations next year, he will definitely become a Jinshi. "
This Pei Xun was slightly thinner, with fair skin and delicate features. At first glance, one could tell that he was a scholar. When he played football, he naturally could not be compared to Yang Shenjiao, who was fit and handsome. However, his gentle manner had a different flavor.
Yi 'an Junzhu had always wanted to compete with her three di sisters. When she heard that the man she liked was a disciple of the Pei family from Hedong, which was also a millennium old aristocratic family, and his family background was not inferior to the Yang family of Hongnong, she was even more satisfied. She nodded and said, "That's him!" She then raised her chin at her sisters as if to show off and left with her head held high.
Because these junzhu were born by concubines, their ages were not much different. Some were even the same age, unlike the three daughters born by Concubine Wei who had a clear age difference. They all knew Li Xinyu's temperament and were long used to her domineering ways. However, no one dared to compete with her. Everyone was a junzhu. Wouldn't it be a joke if word got out that they fought over a man?
Therefore, all the princesses remained silent and waited for Lin Xinyu to leave. Only then did they focus their attention on choosing their Langjun from the remaining men. After a while, Xin Ning Junzhu chose Wang Tongjiao from the Wang family of Taiyuan. She left happily to report to her father. Yong Shou chose Wei Dan from the Wei family of Jingzhao and then left quietly.
Xin Du Junzhu was timid, shy, and introverted. She had always been ashamed to choose a husband. In the end, her sisters beat her to it. After the sisters had chosen their men, although the remaining men were all from prestigious families, they were either too ugly or short. They were really not attractive to her. Compared to the Langjun who had just been chosen by her sisters, they were even more unsatisfactory.
The bowing didn't last long. The palace maid beside her asked her a few times in a low voice. The Commandery Princess of the new capital shook her head and said faintly, "There's no one I like. Father and mother will decide. I won't choose. I'll leave now!"
This time, the Prince of Luling and his wife were selecting a son-in-law on a large scale. Moreover, they had chosen the Wu family as their first choice for marriage, which was in line with Wu Zetian's request to alleviate the conflict between the Wu and Li families and join forces to rule the world. As a result, they received Wu Zetian's approval and strong support. If not for this, how could Li Xian have the guts to use the imperial family and the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall as matchmakers to help his daughters?
At this time, the Prince of Luling and his wife had received the news that Wu Yanji, the son of Wu Chengsi, had fallen in love with the gentle, generous, and beautiful Li Xianhui, the Princess of Yongtai. Wu Chongxun, the son of Wu Sansi, Prince of Liang, had fallen in love with Li Guo'er, the Princess of Anle, at first sight. The couple felt relieved and Concubine Wei was even happier.
Just as the husband and wife were feeling happy, the other daughters also came back one after another. They were naturally too embarrassed to tell their father who their sweetheart was. This kind of thing was naturally reported by their accompanying palace maids. When the husband and wife heard that their daughters all had their sweethearts, and that all of them were sons of aristocratic families, they couldn't stop smiling.
As for Xin Du Junzhu, they did not expect this blind date to solve all the major issues of their daughters' lives. Later, they would just pick a few young talents for her to choose. Thus, they did not care too much about it. Concubine Wei, in particular, had found a place for her three daughters, so she did not care about other things.
She immediately made a copy of the name list. She did not dare to meet that formidable mother-in-law alone, so she dragged her husband and went to the inner palace to find Wu Zetian. The daughters were not young anymore. Since they had chosen someone, they should get married in time. As for those who were still young, they had to settle down first.
After the blind date was over, the Political Affairs Hall sent someone to inform the youths who were playing football that the Prime Ministers wanted to see them. The youths who were playing football on the field immediately stopped, hurriedly washed their faces, put on their robes, and rushed to the Political Affairs Hall to pay their respects.
The Prime Ministers didn't have anything serious to discuss with them. They just chatted for a while and then sent them away. These young nobles didn't know what was going on. They didn't know that in such a short time, they had already been divided up by the princesses.
… …
When Yang Fan arrived in the capital, he followed the address given by the Great General of the Left Guard to find the Wang family's mansion in the capital. In the end, he did not find anything. At this time, Wang Tongjiao was listening to a lecture in the Political Affairs Hall. Yang Fan did not know when he would return, so he wanted to turn around and go home.
Yang Fan turned his horse out of the alley where the Wang family's mansion was located. Just as he was about to leave Shangshan Square, he saw the door of a house open wide. Seven or eight scented carriages drove out of the house one by one, some to the west, some to the east, and they all dispersed. Yang Fan urged his horse to move to the side of the road and continued to move forward.
Judging from these carriages, it was clear that this was a gathering of the daughters of the Prime Ministers and the rich ladies. From the style and decoration of the carriages, it could be seen that these were women's carriages. The decorations on the carriages were too strong.
Yang Fan glanced at it and recognized that it was the residence of the Eldest Princess. This Eldest Princess, who was getting more and more lively as she aged, had always liked to socialize and feast. It was normal for a few female guests to come out of her mansion.
Li Guo'er sat in one of the carriages that came out of the Eldest Princess's mansion. Li Guo'er sat in a light carriage, waving the flower in her hand. Her face was even prettier than the flower.
Princess Anle's trip to the Eldest Princess's mansion was very enjoyable. She felt like a fish in water. She liked this kind of life, liked this kind of taste. She felt that she was born into this world for this kind of life. In comparison, she had lived the past sixteen years in vain. This kind of world, this kind of environment, was the most suitable place for her.
Today at the Eldest Princess's mansion, she even drank a few cups of wine. It was the first time she had tasted such mellow wine. In the past, she had never had the opportunity to drink wine. But at that time, she felt that it was sweet and had a special fruity aroma. It was very delicious. Only now did she feel a little dizzy.
Li Guo'er touched her cheeks. It was slightly hot. But in her excitement, she did not feel tired. She still looked around in high spirits.
There was an oil cleaning cart and two big green cows. The cart was surrounded by a gauze curtain. From the outside, one could only see a beautiful figure inside the cart. It was difficult to see her face clearly. This saved her the trouble of looking for Dai Qianlu. On the other hand, she could clearly see everything in the car. Everything here was undoubtedly still unfamiliar to her, so it was extremely attractive.
Li Guo'er was looking left and right when a tall and handsome figure by the side of the road suddenly attracted her gaze.
This person was wearing a military uniform. The black military uniform had a metallic feel to it, as if it was cast from black iron. It made the person's body look abnormally masculine and burly. Seeing him riding on a horse, with a slender waist, sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, at a glance, a vigorous heroic spirit rushed out.
Li Guo'er's heart was filled with joy. She hurriedly called out, "Commandant Yang!"
As she said this, she hurriedly pushed aside the white, fog-like curtain and called out to the window, "Brother Yang!"
Yang Fan was riding his horse when he suddenly heard someone calling out to him. He took a closer look and his heart skipped a beat. A bright and beautiful face peeked out from the window. A thin gold necklace with a water drop jade pendant was gently swaying in the wind in front of her clear forehead. Her drunken makeup made her look especially enchanting. It was Li Guo'er.
Yang Fan was shocked. His two legs tightened and he lightly knocked against the horse's belly. He wanted to quickly pass by the oil cleaning cart. Li Guo'er said that it was a busy street so he did not hear her clearly. Just now during the banquet, she still knew to pretend to be a young lady. Now that her drunkenness was starting to kick in, she actually pulled aside the curtain and jumped on the shaft of the cart. She excitedly called out, "Commandant Yang!"
This little beauty's hair was combed into two small buns. She wore a gold necklace on her forehead. She wore a light yellow narrow sleeved shirt and a peach red armband. She wore a colorful skirt and a long silk ribbon. Her face was as pretty as a fairy. As she stood on the shaft of the cart, she immediately attracted the attention of the people on the street.
What Yang Fan was afraid of really happened. He could only bite the bullet and reined in his horse. He very reservedly cupped his hands towards her and nodded, "Junzhu!"
"Come come come, quickly get on the cart. I haven't seen you for a few years."
Yang Fan was shocked and hurriedly said, "How can it be that long?"
Li Guo'er made a face at him and playfully smiled, "Haven't you heard that a day apart feels like three years? Quickly get on the cart! "
As she said this, she seemed to be a little dizzy and returned to her seat first. She patted the empty seat next to her and waved to Yang Fan.
There were more and more people watching them on the street. If Yang Fan did not have anything going on with Li Guo'er, he would be at ease. But now that he has a guilty conscience, he could not help but feel a little guilty. He did not want to get on the cart but Li Guo'er kept beckoning him. If he did not get on the cart, he was afraid that even more people would notice them. He could only bite the bullet and get off the horse.
Ren Wei took the reins for him. Yang Fan stepped into the carriage. As soon as he sat down, Li Guo'er stretched out her jade-like arm and pulled, covering the curtain again. Yang Fan wanted to stop her but it was too late. He hurriedly sat up straight and deliberately distanced himself from her.
Li Guo'er did not notice as she lifted her buttocks to cover the curtain. Just as she was about to sit back down, she felt that the distance between them was too far. She moved her buttocks closer to him and asked with a grin, "I heard that you are now a general. Have you recruited all the soldiers?"
The cart could not stay still on the road for long so it began to move forward slowly. Yang Fan pressed his hands on his knees in a standard military stance. He looked straight ahead and replied, "Yes! I am currently the commander of Guide Army and am currently recruiting soldiers. More than half of the soldiers are qualified. Due to the strict requirements of the Thousand Cavalry, it will probably take another month to recruit all of them. "
Li Guo'er looked at his valiant, masculine, and handsome appearance. She liked him a little.
Among Li Xian's children, she was the one who walked around her grandmother, Wu Zetian the most. She already knew the importance of the troops Yang Fan was leading. Furthermore, she knew very well that if her parents wanted to maintain their current status, she would need the support of powerful figures if she wanted to continue living her immortal-like life.
With the Thousand Cavalry under his command, Yang Fan happened to be an important figure worthy of her family's recruitment!
