The Lovely Heiress Is Actually A God Beast-Chapter 1164: A Little Horn (Part 18)

Bai Yu was extraordinarily talented and truly became the top scholar, even a top scholar who passed six exams in succession!

The old Emperor was extremely excited and was eager to propose the matter of a marriage grant in the hall, but recalling the awkward incident from years ago where an unseeing top scholar had refused marriage on the spot, causing him to become furious and send that top scholar to the heavenly prison, he hesitated.

The old Emperor left Bai Yu alone before bringing up the matter of a marriage grant.

"Are you willing to become the princess’s consort?"

Bai Yu knelt down: "Yes, I am willing."

The old Emperor was overjoyed in his heart: He really likes my little girl; he has liked her since he was nine!

"Very well, then I shall grant you and the Little Princess a marriage, pick an auspicious day to wed; I am eager to have grandchildren! Hahaha..."

"Wait."

The old Emperor frowned: "Are you having second thoughts?"

Bai Yu shook his head: "I am willing to become the princess’s consort, but not the consort of the Little Princess, rather, that of Her Highness the Eldest Princess."

"What?" The old Emperor was stunned. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Bai Yu, the grandson of the King with a Different Surname, and this King with a Different Surname only has one daughter, meaning the royal title of the King with a Different Surname would eventually pass to Bai Yu.

Now he has also become, by his own talents, a once-in-a-century top scholar who has passed six exams in succession, proving his talent is extraordinary and not a mere facade.

His father’s family has been a line of great generals for generations, his cousins all due to be future military generals one by one.

In this way, the future Bai Yu would become a Prince, respected amongst the civil officials through his talents, and respected among the military officials due to his father’s family, he is a rare existence admired by both civil and military officials, his future status and prestige should not be underestimated.

Moreover, his appearance is that of the Number One Handsome Man in Great Xia.

Such a flawless young man, surprisingly... had a secret crush on my eldest daughter at the age of nine?

This... is too unbelievable!

How does it seem like he doesn’t want to marry my little girl, so he has made up an excuse?

The old Emperor’s gaze became sharp, his voice cold: "Do you know that the Eldest Princess is much older than you?"

The Eldest Princess is now twenty-two years old, while Bai Yu is only sixteen, a full six years difference.

"I am aware."

"Your father once told me that you had a person you admired since you were nine, don’t tell me, that person is the Eldest Princess."

"It is the Eldest Princess."

"Lying before me is a crime of deceiving the sovereign; think carefully before you speak again."

"Your Majesty, I am not lying. When I was nine, at the palace gates, Her Highness the Eldest Princess raised the great cauldron with both hands, and I cannot forget that moment. That moment, she carried the great cauldron into my heart, the great cauldron’s weight was too huge; my heart has been filled ever since, filled entirely with the heroic stance of Her Highness at that time."

So cringeworthy! Young people these days speak with such cringeworthy words! The old Emperor got goosebumps all over, and coughed dryly: "Seven years have passed, the Eldest Princess has been guarding the Border Town for seven years, and she has undergone no small changes. Are you sure when you see her again, she will still be the person who occupied your entire heart at the palace gates back then?"

At that time, my eldest girl was fifteen, just after reaching maturity, at the age when a young girl is most beautiful, seven years have passed, the Border Town’s wind and sand is so harsh, according to those ejected Second Sons, the Eldest Princess is now rough and fierce-looking.

Though he hasn’t seen his daughter in seven years, the old Emperor actually somewhat believes this.

Because he has always been someone who values appearance, even the literary top scholar he would choose someone good-looking, and even for the martial top scholar, he would pick the best-looking ones.

Yet every time the chosen fine young men went to the Border Town, a few years later when they return to see him in the Imperial City, he couldn’t recognize any of them.

The wind and sand of the Border Town had roughened their skin, the sun had tanned them dark and yellowed, and there they lacked water... they each became rough and unkempt, the food there was fattening, plus they all practiced martial arts, with a big appetite, when they left the Imperial City, they were sixteen or seventeen-year-old lads, at the age of growth, and several years later at that place, they all became extraordinarily tall and brawny.

Actually, he dared not imagine what his eldest girl had been worn into by the Border Town’s elements. After all, women there aged much faster than those from Jiangnan, even if they are the same age around thirty or forty, the difference is stark.

"I ask you, if the Eldest Princess has become ugly, her figure also unlike before, after all, she practices martial arts and may be even more brawny than an average man, would you still... like her?"
