<p>"Now you guys have seen the ladies from each state and their moral conduct". The emperor said before continuing "Now I think everyone should pick any of the ladies of your choice out of the eleven ladies. The emperor stated.<br/><br/>There are two ladies from each state but from Ying state the empress only nominated her sister which is the princess.<br/><br/>"I think father choice is the best" Yan Jun the First Prince said.<br/><br/>"I think you should choose any lady of your choice no need to be polite." The emperor said.<br/><br/>"Jun'er, what do you think of that girl from Yan state, Yanshu. The empress asked.<br/><br/>"She is an elegant lady and has the character of a good wife, I think she is a good match for me, what do you say Father?. Yan Jun asked modestly.<br/><br/>"Okay, it is settled then, the emperor said as Yan Jun take his seat. What about you Jin'er? He asked.<br/><br/>"I think I prefer the young lady from Cang State, Qi yuoyue. The second prince said. <br/><br/>"She is also a good lady, I think she is a good choice, okay have your seat. The king said. <br/><br/>Later the fifth prince stood up.<br/><br/>" Actually I like Miss Yanshu but since she is already chosen by brother I don't know who to choose, what about you choose for me your majesty. Yan Qi, the fifth prince said.<br/><br/>"When will you stop being stupid, that is the main reason His majesty invited you over, to make the best choice. The empress said angrily.<br/><br/>"It's okay, take it easy, he is just a kid". The king said facing the empress who immediately regained her elegant face" Qi'er you should respect your elders,why do you come out when it not yet your turn? The king questioned. "Okay, what do you think of Pei Jinyue of Dai state. The king asked.<br/><br/>"Oh... Yan Qi who was puzzling over his father word was cut off.<br/>"It is settled then, have your seat. The king interrupted him.<br/><br/>"Father, I like Miss Zhou Fei from Xi state, she is gentle, kind, beautiful and has a good heart, and the most important I heard Xi state has a lot of money. Yan Feng, the sixth prince said emphasizing the last sentence.<br/><br/>"So you want to marry her not because of her character but for her money. The third prince said while the other prince burst into laughter except Yan Yue who looks like he is not even concerned about their words and Yan Jun who keeps his posture.<br/><br/>"It's okay, you are being spoiled and stupid, I want you to pick a good wife not you being a gold digger. The king said angrily while the other kept laughing.<br/><br/>"There is only two state left and three ladies. The empress announced.<br/><br/>"Father, there is no longer any good lady left, I don't like them, what choice do I have left."Yan Ba, the third prince said looking said.<br/><br/>"Brother you still have a choice don't we still have the bossy princess, the spoiled brat and the illiterate. Yan Feng said making jest of Yan Ba while others burst into laughter.<br/><br/>"You... the third prince said, if I had come out soon I think you will be the one with no choice.<br/><br/>"Stop it, the king said bringing them back to the present. Ba'er, what do you think of the lady from Dan State Li Man, her family is respected, and she is beautiful.<br/><br/>"I don't like her, she is so spoiled, please withdraw your order father, he pleaded.<br/><br/>"It's settled then" The emperor said<br/><br/><br/>'I... The third prince was interrupted by the emperor.<br/><br/>"Yue'er, what do you say about the princess from Ying state, though she is rude but I think she is a good girl. what do you think? The emperor asked ignoring the third prince pleading.<br/><br/>"I don't think the princess is a right choice for me? Yan Yue said.<br/><br/>"Then what choice do you make? The king asked curiously.<br/><br/>"I prefer the lady from Dan State. Yan Yue said.<br/><br/>"You mean Li Man? The king asked.<br/><br/>"No, I mean the other girl from Dan State, I want her. Yan Yue explained.<br/><br/>"You... The king was so furious, how could you say you want that foolish girl that is fooling around, are you out of your mind." The king yelled angrily.<br/><br/>"Calm down my Lord, empress said facing emperor,Yan Yue may have some reason, let hear him out.<br/><br/>"Father I want her because she has a kind hearted and speaks freely, I think father can give his blessing, Yan Yue said not minding his father word.<br/><br/>"Since you have made up your mind so you won't regret your decision later why don't you make her your concubine. Empress suggest.<br/><br/>"Your Grace, don't you think I have too much concubine, I think I should have a legal wife now, Yan Yue said not giving the Empress any face.<br/><br/>"Are you saying you want to have that girl be your legal wife, Yan Jun asked curiously wondering what was so special about the girl.<br/><br/>"You think, Yan Yue replied with just two words.<br/><br/>"Father since he have made up his mind why don't you just agree to it, Yan Jun said to the emperor.<br/><br/>"Everyone should leave. The emperor said exhausted.<br/><br/>"Yes, They all chorus.<br/><br/>***<br/>"Hey, my name is Lu Yanshu, can we be friends. Yanshu asked sitting beside Ye Xing.<br/><br/>"Yes, my name is Ye Xing, you can call me Xing'er. Ye Xing replied.<br/><br/>"I wish I could be chosen, I don't want to let my parent down. Yanshu said.<br/><br/>"Of course you will be chosen because I think the emperor is satisfied with you. Ye Xing said.<br/><br/>" Don't flatter me, do you want to be chosen? Yanshu asked<br/><br/>"I don't want to be chosen, my family are all expecting to be back. Ye Xing said<br/><br/>"Why? <br/><br/>"I don't want to get married to a stranger, in our state when a man and woman love each other they will go to the Honglua tree and make an oath together. In short, we value true love, Ye Xing explained.<br/><br/>"I understand but that will be different for someone like me, you have your choice to make but I don't have any. Whether is a stranger or not, I must get married to one of the Young lords, that is why I try my best to impress the emperor and empress. Yanshu said sadly.<br/><br/>"Will you be happy even if your husband does not like you, and couldn't give you the happiness you want? Ye Xing asked pitying Yanshu's plight.<br/><br/>"Happiness? Don't you know that I have to sacrifice my happiness to reach a high level, even if he doesn't love me, I have to maintain my position and try my best to please him, Yanshu replied<br/><br/>"Oh, it is really hard for you, sorry, Ye Xing pitifully.<br/><br/>"You don't need to feel sorry for me, I made my choice, Yanshu said smiling at Ye Xing.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/></p>
