Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating
Chapter 75: Selection

But soon, Su Yue suppressed the impulse in her heart.

Although these tall and cold-faced guards were attractive, they were not within her reach. When Su Yue was outside the palace, she was used to seeing men and women in chaos. Even the servants and boys at home were like this, let alone others.

Even after arriving at the palace, the fighting had not decreased. Su Yue felt that her life now was pretty good. She stayed with the young lady and did not have to worry about food and clothing every day. Now that her qualifications had been improved, she hardly had to do anything herself except serving the imperial concubine. It was a rare peaceful life for her.

Su Yue cherishes everything she has now, so she doesn’t want to break it, but after thinking about it, she decides to just forget it.

“Thank you, Ninth Prince. Thank you for your concern, but… I don’t have such plans.” Su Yue shook her head slightly.

Ye Shuo nodded to show his understanding. Seeing that he was not angry, Su Yue couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The Ninth Prince cared so much about their lifelong affairs, but Su Yue did not appreciate it. She was worried that the Ninth Prince would be angry.

Soon, Ye Shuo turned around and looked at Su Xin and Su Qiu: “What about you?”

Everyone has their own aspirations and pursuits. Suxin and Suqiu really want to get married, but how can two girls talk about this so openly?

Seeing the two of them being coy, Ye Shuo had to remind them: “In three days at most, our carriages will arrive at the palace. Time is running out. If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever. Sometimes, you have to fight for what you want.”

Once we arrive at the palace, it will be difficult to see these thousand people again.

“It’s uncertain whether there will be such an opportunity in the future, so you have to think about it carefully.”

Su Xin and Su Qiu had been in the palace for so many years, so they were not fools. After weighing the situation, they immediately stopped being shy.

Ye Shuo couldn’t help but nodded when he saw this, and he felt relieved. He knew what he wanted and could tell what was most important. Based on this point, their lives would not be too bad after they got married.

After all, Su Xin and Su Qiu had watched him grow up since he was a child, and Ye Shuo also hoped that they could live a good life in the future.

Live a peaceful and happy life.

There is just one thing. One of them is 25 and the other is already 26. Can they really replace the right one? How can a man of this age say he is not married?

As if he could see the two’s worries, Ye Shuo waved his hand and said, “It’s okay. Even if the man is one or two years younger than you, it won’t have much of an impact.”

This gap is nothing, the most important thing is that the two people can see eye to eye.

“As for whether they are married or not, you don’t have to worry about it. I will ask the commander outside later which of his guards are still unmarried.”

Although Ye Shuo, a modern man, doesn’t care, this is ancient times after all. Considering Su Xin and Su Qiu’s good reputation, it is impossible for Ye Shuo to start the election in front of so many people.

I will only tell the leader of the Black Armor Guards about that and I believe that anyone who can reach this position is not a big mouth. He should know what can be said and what cannot be said.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of everything.”

Suxin and Suqiu opened their mouths, but were somewhat speechless.

To be honest, it was a blessing for slaves like them to be able to follow such a master. Even the imperial concubine, who was arrogant and domineering in the eyes of outsiders, had never treated them badly.

Su Xin and Su Qiu felt that they had nothing to repay, so they could only try their best to give back a little.

Thinking carefully about what she has now, an idea suddenly crossed Su Xin’s mind. She bit her lower lip and said boldly in a very low voice: “If Your Highness has a candidate in mind, if Your Highness has taken a fancy to someone, this servant… this servant is willing to listen to Your Highness.”

To be valued by the prince, the other party must be from a prominent family. Su Xin no longer wanted the position of the main wife, and she would accept the position of concubine.

Ye Shuo understood her meaning almost instantly. The above sentence rolled over Su Yue’s mind two or three times, and Su Yue soon understood it.

Su Yue was shocked at first, but then she felt it was natural.

If it were her, I think she would make the same choice.

Only Concubine Rong was completely unaware: “When you get married, you will definitely choose the one you like. What’s the use of his likes? It’s not like he will spend his whole life with him. What is Su Xin thinking about?” She thought her maid had something wrong with her brain.

Although the brain waves of mother and son are not on the same channel, they are strangely overlapping at this moment.

Ye Shuo laughed and said, “What mother meant is what I meant.”

He just suddenly remembered that he wanted to arrange a blind date for Su Xin and the others, but why did it end up being so complicated.

Su Xin trembled slightly, lowered her eyes subconsciously, and said nothing more.

“…Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Your Highness.”

“By the way, I have to make it clear in advance that no one is perfect. You have to think clearly about what you want most.” If it is love at first sight, then there is no problem at all. However, love at first sight is only a minority after all, and more importantly, you have to consider the issue of how to live together later.

No one can be said to be perfect. If Su Xin and Su Qiu care about the man’s future, they will have to lower the threshold for other aspects of the man. If Su Xin and Su Qiu care about the man being a family-oriented and loyalty, they will have to try to accept the other party’s mediocrity.

Men who are ambitious and capable face more temptations, while men who care more about their families spend more time at home and have less energy to invest in their careers.

As one thing increases while the other decreases, it is impossible to be perfect. If a person is strong in one aspect, other shortcomings will inevitably appear. Therefore, it is most important to distinguish what you want most.

“This concerns your happiness for the rest of your life, so don’t feel embarrassed and think it through carefully.”

How could he, a child of only a few years old, understand so many twists and turns? He can talk about such things in a very clear and logical way.

Concubine Rong looked at her son with a strange expression.

At this time, Su Xin and Su Qiu were a little confused, but Ye Shuo was not in a hurry and waited quietly for the answers from the two.

Of course, since Ye Shuo is helping to judge, the standards in other aspects cannot be too low. If they are too low, it would be better to keep them both in the palace for the rest of their lives.

After hearing what Ye Shuo said, Su Xin and the others immediately felt relieved and no longer had any worries.

Soon, Suxin and Suqiu made their decisions respectively.

Suxin chose a good future, while Suqiu chose a peaceful and stable life.

Being able to expose her ambition in front of Ye Shuo, Su Xin can be said to have unreserved trust in Ye Shuo.

Ye Shuo nodded: “I understand.”

Su Xin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the Ninth Prince did not look at her strangely and did not think that she was snobbish.

“Don’t worry, everyone has different tendencies and there’s nothing to be ashamed of.”

Su Xin’s face turned slightly red, but she gradually calmed down.

After a while, when the commander-in-chief of the Black Armor Guard came on horseback for inspection and passed by here, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but waved to him.

“?”

Although he was confused for a moment, the commander-in-chief still rode over when the prince called him.

“Your Highness, what do you want?”

Ye Shuo didn’t hesitate to ask directly, “Among your subordinates, how many of the thousand guards in front of you are still unmarried?”

The commander-in-chief: “???”

The commander-in-chief became more and more confused: “Your Highness, what are you doing…?”

“Here’s the thing. I know two girls, in their 20s, who are not engaged yet. I wanted to ask if you have any suitable young people.”

Ye Shuo did not say who it was, but the commander-in-chief was not stupid, and he subconsciously looked inside the carriage. Then he remembered that the imperial concubine was also there, so he was startled and quickly looked away.

In their twenties…the only ones who are still unmarried in their twenties are the personal maids of the imperial concubine in the palace.

The commander-in-chief just couldn’t understand why the Ninth Prince…

Seeing him in a daze, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but urge him, “Don’t be in a daze, are there any? How many are there?”

The commander-in-chief answered subconsciously: “About one or two hundred.”

Ye Shuo was shocked: “There are still so many left?”

“What’s going on? How come there are so many left?” Ye Shuo thought there would be at most a few dozen.

Ye Shuo asked: “Is it a personal reason or a family reason?”

“About half-and-half, mostly due to family reasons.” The Black Armor Guards do have slightly more people with good family backgrounds than the military, but there are nearly 10,000 people in the entire Black Armor Guards, and it is impossible to say that every one of them has a good family background. After all, civilians make up the majority.

Just like among the thousand people accompanying the emperor, at least seven or eight hundred are of commoner origin.

As for those who are still unmarried in their twenties, they are either from extremely poor families with little financial resources and few holidays, or they simply have no parents to worry about them and have been dragging it on until now. Some are exiled by their families, some are illegitimate sons who can’t make it in their families and want to join the army to try their luck, some are legitimate sons whose mothers died and whose fathers married a second wife, and some are completely abandoned by their families, some have parents who are still around but not favored, and some whose parents are no longer around and whose property has been taken away…

There are many Black Armor Guards, and there are all kinds of situations, some of which are due to personality reasons, but those who are not married simply for personality reasons are only a minority.

As they were talking, the commander-in-chief also became interested.

After all, he has so many bachelors under his command, and as the commander-in-chief, he is worried. Now that there is an opportunity, the commander-in-chief also wants to deal with them as many as possible.

Although Suxin and Suqiu are maids, don’t forget whose maids they are.

The imperial concubine’s maids were considered prominent figures even in the imperial palace, and outside the palace only respectable officials could hire them, so apart from the dozens of leaders of the Black Armor Guards, Su Xin and Su Qiu were worthy of anyone.

As for age, the commander-in-chief didn’t care that much. With about a hundred bachelors, it was good enough for him to replace a wife. Why be so picky?

Only……

“Your Highness, may I meet these two girls?” the commander-in-chief asked tentatively.

Ye Shuo also expected the other party to do a screening first, so he did not refuse.

Of course, the two of them certainly couldn’t do it so obviously, so when they arrived at the post station, Ye Shuo sent Su Xin and Su Qiu down to fetch water.

The commander-in-chief took a look from a distance. Although the two girls were not stunningly beautiful, they were good-looking and their every move was elegant. They were not worse than ordinary ladies.

As expected of someone close to the imperial concubine, even her maidservants are so well-educated.

The commander-in-chief also understood that the Ninth Prince was so worried about these two people, and he did not want to offend the Ninth Prince over this matter, so he simply removed nearly half of the one hundred people.

It is impossible for the commander-in-chief to remember all the rest of their family situations and personalities, but he has a good understanding of their height and appearance. At least the height and appearance of the rest will not be bad.

It was impossible for Emperor Jingwen not to know about what happened in the convoy. He was extremely curious. What could his son and the commander-in-chief talk about that made them talk for such a long time? So Emperor Jingwen also raised his hand and called the commander-in-chief over.

“You and Shuo’er, what were you two talking about just now?”

“…Your Majesty, I am discussing the lifelong affairs of our respective subordinates with His Majesty the Ninth Prince.”

Emperor Jingwen: “?”
