Chapter 180
His Majesty selected more than a dozen people, but in the end only three remained.

Among the three, the one he was most satisfied with was Zhao Junmu.

Seeing that His Majesty was in a good mood, Eunuch Chen boldly asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, why don't you ask Her Majesty the Princess again."

"Let's talk about this later, what did you just say?" His Majesty frowned, neither rejected nor accepted his opinion, but directly changed the subject.

Seeing this, Eunuch Chen also knew that it was not good to ask further questions, so he repeated what he had just said: "It was Concubine Jing who sent someone to invite you over."

His Majesty nodded upon hearing this.

He couldn't understand, did His Majesty agree to go or not.

After a long time, His Majesty said, "Let's go."

Now, Eunuch Chen became suspicious, and couldn't help thinking: It's really strange why His Majesty is so easy to talk about today.

But there was no time to think about it, His Majesty had already walked outside, and Eunuch Chen quickly followed.

The anxious little eunuch who was waiting outside suddenly raised his head and caught a glimpse of a yellow figure in the distance. He was immediately overwhelmed with excitement.

In another place, Su Jichuan had also been brought to Concubine Jing's palace.

There is a screen between you and those noble girls.

There was only one person he wanted to marry and that was Xie Zhaozhao, but with the screen blocking him, he couldn't see whether Xie Zhaozhao was coming, so he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

Seeing that his lord's complexion was not good, Qing Dan who had no idea what was going on made a bold suggestion: "My lord, if you really don't like it, why don't you just find a reason to refuse it."

Su Jichuan was speechless right now, why his subordinates were so dumbfounded.

He ordered: "Go and find out if Princess Huashang is here."

If I don't say it, I'm afraid this idiot will never guess what I think.

After hearing the order, Qingdan finally realized that his prince was worried that Princess Huashang would not come.

After all, today he had to choose a marriage partner among these women. If Princess Huashang didn't come, who would he choose?

With a serious face, Qingdan patted her chest and promised: "This subordinate promises to complete the task."

Then he slipped away quietly.

Behind the screen, the noble ladies were whispering, some were discussing who the prince of Xishan would choose, and some were discussing how the prince would look.

Only Xie Zhaozhao sat quietly drinking tea by himself.

Soon, the banquet began.

Concubine Jing ordered someone to hand over the portraits of those noble ladies to Su Jichuan.

After all, men and women are different, although this is a blind date banquet, but the man is only Su Jichuan, so he can only look at the portrait through the screen.

Seeing that Qingdan hadn't come back yet, Su Jichuan had no choice but to look at the portrait handed over first, looking slowly on purpose to delay time.

After a while, he read all three of them, but he still hasn't come back.

Seeing that he looked so slowly, the maid beside Concubine Jing thought that he was interested in the first three, so she secretly rolled her eyes at him, and complained in her heart: Bah, you really are a womanizer.

If Su Jichuan heard her heartfelt feelings, he would really yell, "I'm wronged."

He can't look down on these ugly monsters.

Fortunately, Qingdan finally came back, and he leaned into Su Jichuan's ear and whispered something.

Su Jichuan, who was still listless, suddenly regained his energy, and quickly flipped through the portraits in his hand.

But after looking around for a long time, I didn't see the person I wanted to see. I couldn't help but suspect that Qingdan might have misheard.

Undeterred, Su Jichuan turned it over again, but his movements slowed down. He carefully looked at the names on the portraits, fearing that he might miss them.

Seeing that he had turned it over and over again, the court lady thought that he had taken a fancy to it and couldn't pick it out.

After all, there are no ugly girls here today, and his reputation is so bad that it is difficult not to be suspected.

Su Jichuan looked carefully, and finally saw the three big characters of Xie Zhaozhao on a portrait, but the strange thing was that this portrait did not resemble Xie Zhaozhao himself at all, and could be described by the four words irrelevant.

Is there no painter in this Eastern Xia Kingdom, and he actually painted this ghostly look for his Zhao Zhao, if it wasn't for the name written on it, he really wouldn't have recognized it.

Concubine Jing who was sitting on the upper seat asked with a smile, "Fifth Prince, do you have a girl you like?"

Su Jichuan pulled out the portrait, and was about to speak, when suddenly the eunuch's sharp voice came from outside: "Your Majesty is here."

Concubine Jing, who was seated above, was overjoyed when she heard that someone had come, she didn't care about Su Jichuan, she quickly stood up and went out to greet her.

She showed the appearance of a little woman, looked at the other side obsessively, and said softly: "Your Majesty, you are finally here."

Concubine Jing just wanted to reach out her hand to hold the other's arm, but His Majesty dodged her.

She who was still full of smiles suddenly froze, she never expected that His Majesty would not give her face like this.

His Majesty bypassed Concubine Jing directly, and asked Su Jichuan with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you have a woman you like?"

Concubine Jing was so angry that she stomped her feet on the spot. Because there were so many people at the scene, she didn't have an attack.

Xia Huai, who was at the side, was afraid that she would get angry on the spot, so she quickly comforted her: "Your Majesty, at least your Majesty is here."

Su Jichuan stood up and saluted His Majesty, then handed him the portrait, and said casually, "Your Majesty, this king has taken a fancy to this woman named Xie Zhaozhao."

Hearing that it was Xie Zhaozhao, His Majesty frowned.

He couldn't help feeling a little tired, who is not good among the princes of Xishan, why did he just like Zhaozhao, this is a bit difficult.

After all, his younger brother has just left, so I'm afraid Zhaozhao hasn't come out yet. If she is allowed to marry Xiyue far away at this time, what will the common people think of him.

But before, he personally agreed again, no matter who he liked, he would agree.

Didn't he already order someone to uglify Zhao Zhao's portrait? That's right, His Majesty originally only used Xie Zhaozhao as a count, so he deliberately ordered people to say something ugly. After all, we all know that the prince of Xishan likes beauties, how could he do that? He fell in love with an ugly girl, but unexpectedly something happened now.

Could it be that he only likes women with unique looks.

His Majesty asked again without giving up: "Nephew, have you considered it properly, have you really taken a fancy to her?"

Eunuch Chen next to him also didn't understand, why the prince of Xishan put a bunch of beauties in his place and didn't choose, but chose the ugliness of Princess Huashang, could it be that he had met the princess?
I have to say, Eunuch Chen, you are telling the truth.

Su Jichuan said with a firm gaze: "This king is very firm. I will not marry her unless I marry her in this life. I beg Your Majesty to help me."

Xie Zhaozhao, who was behind the screen, would never have expected that she just came here for a formality, and it actually got involved in the rest of her life.

Hearing his firm answer, His Majesty thought it over and said lightly: "Since this is the case, I have no choice but to be an adult."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for making it happen." Su Jichuan was overjoyed, it was much smoother than he imagined.
