Chapter 177 Eldest Princess 14
Chapter 177 Eldest Princess 14
Gao Jian was the child that the Queen gave birth to at the risk of her life. Logically, Gao Yang should have loved and cared for Gao Jian more.
But looking at Gao Yang's expression, there was no trace of surprise at the appearance of his son, and there was even a look of disgust and aversion.
"If you're not feeling well, don't come out. Just stay in the palace. What are you going to do outside?"
Gao Jian lowered his head with an unpleasant expression, forcing a smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Father, I heard that Mother's old residence was burned down, and I wanted to come and take a look. Although I have never seen Mother, I have always missed her in my heart. She is my biological mother, and I should come here. I..."
Gao Yang interrupted him impatiently, "Your birth was a disaster for your mother, if she hadn't had a difficult birth."
"She won't be killed by anyone. A Taoist priest once said that you have a peculiar fate and are born with an evil star. If you don't want Yan'er and me to be hurt by your evil spirit, then don't go out."
Gao Yan felt that Gao Yang was so angry that he lost his mind. When the queen died, Gao Jian was still in the queen's belly. He didn't know that his birth would kill the queen. What did this have to do with him?
"Father, please don't speak of my brother like that. He was still in Mother's womb when he was born. My brother and I are the last bloodline Mother left for you. What do those bald old Taoists know? They are just deliberately spouting nonsense and trying to scare you."
Gao Yang sighed, "Yan'er, I'm tired. Please help me go back."
Tao Yao glanced at Gao Jian who was standing there at a loss. He was staggering and looked like he was about to be blown down by the wind. A huge sadness swept over him.
"Royal brother, don't pay attention to what the emperor said. He was just angry today. Go back and rest. It's windy outside and you're not in good health. Don't get sick."
Gao Jian nodded calmly, "Yes, I understand. I'm fine. Sister, please send Father back first."
After Tao Yao helped Gao Yang walk away, Gao Jian, who was standing in the cold wind, looked back with cold eyes.
Murong Fu originally thought that after this incident, Gao Yang and Gao Yan would definitely give up the idea of holding this son-in-law recruitment meeting, but who would have thought that this evil woman Gao Yan had not given up yet.
Tao Yao sent Gao Yang back to the bedroom. She had nothing to do, and since he had already arrived, she thought she might as well come over and take a look.
She sat on a high seat and looked at the handsome young men below, while a palace maid beside her carefully presented the portraits to her.
Tao Yao looked carefully one by one and found that the men who came today were either good-for-nothings who looked bright and handsome on the outside but actually had no talent, or they were young men who were marginalized by their families and wanted to curry favor with the rich and powerful.
Tao Yao propped up her chin with a lack of interest, "Please introduce yourselves."
The one standing at the front was the illegitimate son of the censor. He was quite good-looking and the best-looking of the group.
The man was dressed in white and bowed slightly to Tao Yao.
"Your Highness, I am...I am..."
As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, everyone in the audience covered their mouths and laughed. Tao Yao waved her hand in disgust to signal him to shut up.
"Okay, step back, next one."
The next one was the second son of the Left Prime Minister. He was tall and mighty, and his words were majestic.
"Hello, Princess. I am Zuo Cheng, the second son of the Left Prime Minister."
"Mr. Zuo, do you have any talents?"
Zuo Cheng had a simple smile on his face and then scratched his head.
"Your Highness, I can demonstrate my chest-breaking stone-breaking skills. I am born with incredible martial arts skills."
Tao Yao shook her head and said, "Step back. No need to perform."
At this moment, she just wanted to curse. Where did she find these weirdos from? One of them stutters, and the other can perform the act of breaking stones with her chest. It seems like she is recruiting acrobats.
The dog system laughed at Tao Yao without any hesitation, "Haha, where did you find these gods and vixens? If you choose these people as your husbands, you won't be afraid of being ridiculed by the world. They can't even speak clearly, and they are just reckless men with only martial arts in their heads. Let me see how many more weirdos there are."
Tao Yao gave it a fierce look, calling it a dog system that just wanted to watch the fun and make trouble.
Tao Yao didn't have the heart to watch. After the remaining few people hurriedly introduced themselves, she sent everyone away. She was afraid that she would suffocate and die of anger if she continued watching.
In addition to this stutterer and the warrior, there is also a lame man and even a lisp. He speaks so incoherently that you can't even hear what he is saying. These people really only look normal on the outside, and none of the others are like normal people.
Tao Yao glanced at the palace maids trembling beside her and asked, "Who selected these people?"
The palace maid secretly looked up at Tao Yao, then swallowed nervously.
"These people were selected by General Murong. His Majesty originally chose a different group for His Highness, but General Murong felt that the previous ones were just for show, so he had the list changed."
Tao Yao finally understood what was going on. She said, Gao Yang couldn't possibly choose these people as her husbands. It turned out that it was Murong Fu who chose them. This was understandable. Murong Fu, this damn man, wanted to send all the ugly guys in the world to her.
"Go and call General Murong."
Tao Yao was just about to ask the palace maid to call Murong Fu, but this guy showed up right after.
Murong Fu walked slowly towards him with a contented smile on his face.
"Your Highness, you have finally found your ideal husband."
Tao Yao gets angry whenever she sees his face. Murong Fu deliberately wants these people to make him angry.
Tao Yao couldn't help but say sarcastically, "Thanks to General Murong, I'm doing really well right now."
Murong Fu picked up the roster on the ground and glanced at it briefly.
"I have carefully selected the best men in the capital for Your Highness. I have put a lot of thought into this. Is Your Highness dissatisfied?"
Tao Yao rolled her eyes at him. Should she be satisfied? If she was satisfied, she would be truly crazy.
"General Murong, it seems you don't have a very good eye for choosing people. How can a stutterer, a stammerer, and a cripple be a candidate for my husband? If this gets out, it will be a laughing stock."
Murong Fu pointed at the men on the list and said, "Your Highness, I am a rough man and naturally do not know how to choose a husband for a woman. If Your Highness does not like him, I will definitely look for him again next time until I find someone you like."
Tao Yao glared at her angrily, then sighed helplessly. If she still believed his nonsense, she would be a fool. Maybe this guy would pick out a bunch of monsters for her again.
"Since General Murong is not proficient in this matter, I will leave it to someone else. However, I would like to add another person to the list of potential sons-in-law."
Tao Yao picked up the roster in front of her and wrote Murong Fu's name on it with a brush.
Tao Yao looked at Murong Fu provocatively, "General Murong, you are a rare talent. I have decided to include you in my list of potential sons-in-law."
