Chapter 65: Now You Can Spend More Time with Him

“Oh, choosing a wife? I wonder who the Princess of An County prefers?” The young Empress raised an eyebrow, naturally, she had her own selfish intentions. If possible, she wouldn’t mind bringing him into the harem; Prince An could be a good ally.

“Your Majesty, the Princess of An County said that their people value strength. At the time of the competition, The Young Prince will marry the strongest woman.”

The officials couldn’t help but look at Zhao Xian, who had not spoken a word from beginning to end.

In terms of martial arts, who could defeat the Prime Minister?

Zhao Xian was famous for being both scholarly and martially inclined, and it was probably because of her that the other party had come.

Moreover, Princess An commands an army of one hundred thousand and she only has one son. If Zhao Xian were to marry the Young Prince of An County, it would mean having another one hundred thousand troops at her disposal.

If the Prime Minister Zhao marries the Prince of An County, then it would likely mean a change in regime. Currently, the Prime Minister commands roughly two hundred thousand troops. Even when combining the forces of the various vassals of Fengyan Kingdom, there are only around five hundred thousand troops. So, she alone would have nearly half of them. But if she also had the support of Princess An’s forces… it sent shivers down everyone’s spine.

Seeing everyone’s gaze on her, Zhao Xian couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. What were they all looking at her for?

She was a married woman now and didn’t want to get involved in such matters, causing unrest in her household. She wasn’t a fickle person, marrying one person after another, what kind of thing was that?

Looking at the eyes of these people, she knew what they were thinking without having to think about it. They were just afraid that she would gain another hundred thousand troops.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xian spoke solemnly, “There are many unmarried women in Fengyan Kingdom. I’m sure we can find a suitable one.”

“Ahem… Prime Minister’s words are true, I just don’t know who would be most suitable for this matter. Perhaps we should let the Prime Minister handle it.” The Empress’s clenched fist unconsciously relaxed.

She was really afraid that this person would get involved.

Zhao Xian looked at the dark expressions of the crowd and spoke calmly after a moment’s thought.

“In recent days, I’ve been feeling dizzy and my vision has been blurry. So, I won’t get involved in this matter. It just so happens that I’ve decided to take a break for a while and spend time with my husband. After all, when a man gets married, he expects some attention. Before, he complained that I didn’t have time for him. Now, I can spend more time with him.”

Since these people all wanted to get involved, let them compete in secret! She didn’t want to get involved.

When they heard this, everyone’s eyeballs almost fell to the ground.

This was really what the Prime Minister said? What’s all this about feeling dizzy and having blurry vision? She seems perfectly fine.

But they could feel that Zhao Xian was in a very good mood.

Could it be that the man she married was really so powerful that he could make Prime Minister Zhao, who was usually cold and ruthless, show a gentle side?

Incomprehensible.

The Empress glanced at Zhao Xian, although she didn’t know what she was thinking, she still ordered, “Then let the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister handle this matter together! Be sure to satisfy the young prince of An County.”

“We obey your orders…”

“How’s the progress on the excavation of Changhe River in recent days?” After the matter of Prince An’s wife was arranged, the young Empress asked again.

“Your Majesty, the digging of the river has already been handled according to your instructions. The disaster has also been brought under control. Now, not only are people actively digging the river, but they can also eat their fill. Everyone has joined in, and now the common people are praising Your Majesty as a generation of wise rulers.”

The officials couldn’t help but look at Zhao Xian again and found that her expression hadn’t changed. They couldn’t help but be curious. Did the Prime Minister really not harbor any rebellious intentions?

“Very good…” The young Empress nodded, her eyes unconsciously turning to Zhao Xian. One day, she would truly wield power in her own hands.
