Chapter 40.1: Contented Having Him In This Life
She was really just too beautiful today.
Duanmu Xi was usually just dressed in white most of the time and though she was still beautiful looking, her beauty today felt so surreal to see, like a fairy from the celestial Heavenly Palace, ephemeral and mystifying.
She was dressed in ornately lavish clothes today, highly elegant and magnificent, unmistakably exuding the majestic air of a ruler.
Even Huangfu Che was stunned when he saw Duanmu Xi.
His Little Xi looked so much like Xue Er when she was younger.
Glancing over at Xuanyuan Mo who had fallen into a daze, Huangfu Che said teasingly: “Little Xi has really grown up, and after her coming of age ceremony, she will be able to take a husband. Little Xi should really take a good pick during the banquet tonight.”
Huangfu Che’s single sentence caused Xuanyuan Mo to jump right back into his senses in an instant, and an icy aura immediately flared out from inside his body.
Huangfu Che and Duanmu Xue watched Xuanyuan Mo and they both laughed inwardly inside upon seeing his reaction.
Duanmu Xue then piled on frost upon Xuanyuan Mo’s already icy demeanor. “That’s right Little Xi, you must really choose carefully tonight. Your Imperial Mother will then decree the man you choose to you.”
Duanmu Xi looked at the two of them with their stifled mirth and then turned to look at Xuanyuan Mo’s icy demeanor. The corners of her lips then lifted slightly.
“Thank you Father and Mother, but Little Xi already has someone I like.”
The single statement put out so lightly caused Xuanyuan Mo to retract his icy aura, and his entire person seemed to relax.
“Oh? Since Little Xi already has someone you like, then let your Imperial Mother go make a proposal in marriage for you to have you married immediately, so that your Imperial Mother can carry my Imperial Grandchild as soon as possible.”
As Duanmu Xue said that, she turned to glance meaningfully at Xuanyuan Mo at the side.
Although there wasn’t much of an expression on Xuanyuan Mo’s face, but he was filled with nerves deep inside his heart.
“…..” And Duanmu Xi just found herself entirely speechless.
She was just fifteen years old and they already want her to be married. In modern times, one would still be in junior high at fifteen years.
“Mother, there is no need for haste in this matter. We’ll talk about it later in the future.”
Hearing Duanmu Xi’s reply, the other three people were rather disappointed.
Duanmu Xi saw Xuanyuan Mo’s look and her heart winced.
[Snowy…..]
[Looks like she will have to have a good long chat with him.]
……
The banquet for Duanmu Xi’s coming of age ceremony was a great bustle of activity as all the senior officials brought their most outstanding sons to attend.
As Her Highness the Crown Princess has come of age, it meant that the Crown Princess was now able to take in an official spouse as her husband. If their son were to be chosen by the Crown Princess, it would be a Heavensent blessing even if it was only as a concubine.
The Young Masters of the senior officials were all sneaking glances at Duanmu Xi seated high up upon the pedestal, hoping to win her affections.
Si Yun Han was naturally one among those eager suitors. The trials over the past three years had tempered the man, making him more handsome and refined, and to gain a more manly charm.
Many young ladies from big prominent families had come to the General’s Residence with marriage proposals, seeking to marry Si Yun Han.
But no matter how advantageous the conditions were, he had rejected them all without exception.
