My father, Gao Huan, is an invincible prince!

Chapter 54 A noble family sends their daughter, Gao Yang's heart is set on returning home!

And as he predicted, things turned out just as he expected.

While he waited quietly, Li Xian finally couldn't hold back any longer and said in a deep voice, "I have to admit that the Crown Prince's conditions are indeed tempting enough."

Upon hearing this, Gao Cheng raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "So, Uncle, you're already interested?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xian fell silent for a moment, because he was indeed tempted.

This is certainly a high-stakes gamble, requiring a huge price to pay, but if you win, the rewards will be unimaginable.

The revival of aristocratic families and the generational rise of nobles were the scenes they dreamed of.

However, looking at Zheng Delin's head, which still reeked of nauseating blood, in the wooden box before him, he still had some doubts.

Therefore, after a moment of silence, he still did not agree immediately, but instead asked, "Your Highness's conditions are indeed tempting. However, what worries me is that the lesson of the Zheng family's Lian Shan Fang is not far off. How can I be sure that Your Highness will not discard them after using them?"

Upon hearing this, Cui Kai immediately nodded and said, "Indeed. If the Crown Prince cannot give us a concrete guarantee, even high-ranking positions and generous salaries will be nothing but a mirage."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Cheng raised an eyebrow, then asked with interest, "I wonder how you two uncles intend to guarantee this?"

Li Xian and Cui Kai exchanged a glance, as if they had made up their minds.

Immediately, Li Xian spoke first: "I believe there should be a bond between the Hebei aristocratic families and the Gao family to solidify their mutual trust."

Gao Cheng asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

Li Xian took a deep breath and said, word by word, "In chaotic times, only marriage alliances are truly strong. I have two daughters, the elder named Zuyi and the younger named Zu'e, both of whom have reached marriageable age and can be sent to the Crown Prince's residence to serve him. At the same time, I will also ask Your Majesty to arrange a marriage for my son Xizong with a woman from the Gao family, so that our two families can be united in marriage. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?"

Upon hearing this, Cui Kai added, "I also have a daughter whom I wish to send to the Prince's residence to serve him. And..."

Unexpectedly, before Cui Kai could finish speaking, Gao Yang slammed his fist on the table and stood up abruptly, shouting, "No! This is absolutely unacceptable!"

Gao Yang's shout was completely unexpected; even he himself hadn't anticipated losing his composure like this.

Everyone in the hall was stunned, not understanding why this person had suddenly become angry.

Li Xian frowned and asked, "Lord Taiyuan, this is a matter of great importance to both families, concerning the stability of Hebei. Why speak so recklessly?"

Duan Shaoyi tugged at Gao Yang's sleeve and whispered, "Second Brother, don't talk nonsense. This is a matter of great importance to the military and the country."

"Who says it's nonsense? Anyway, if I say it's impossible, then it's impossible!"

Gao Yang stiffened his neck, bluntly uttered a sentence, and turned his head away. His dark face turned purple, looking even worse than the head on the table.

Upon seeing this, Li Xian and Cui Kai exchanged bewildered glances, completely baffled.

Only Gao Cheng noticed something amiss.

But he still didn't expose his thoughts. Instead, he raised an eyebrow and said teasingly, "Second Brother, why not? Do you think the daughters of your two uncles are unworthy to be your concubines?"

"No!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Yang's face flushed even more, and he stammered, "I...I think...Brother already has a principal wife and Consort Zheng. If you take two more concubines, I'm afraid...I'm afraid you won't have the energy and it will interfere with state affairs!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was left speechless, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

This ugly second son of mine is actually worrying about Gao Cheng's private affairs. Is this something he should be concerned about?

Gao Cheng chuckled inwardly, but remained outwardly calm, saying only, "Second Brother, this matter is none of your concern. Please sit down."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yang panicked and hurriedly said, "Brother, I..."

But before he could finish speaking, Gao Cheng emphasized in an unquestionable tone, "Sit down!"

Helpless, Gao Yang could only sit back down, still looking resentful, and glaring at Li Xian from time to time, as if to say, "You dare to marry your daughter to my brother and see what happens."

Li Xian was baffled by his glare and didn't bother to pay attention to what he was doing.

He then turned to Gao Cheng and asked, "Your Highness, this is our request. Please make a decision as soon as possible."

Gao Cheng nodded slightly and said slowly, "I can understand the concerns in the hearts of my two uncles. If a marriage alliance can resolve the doubts in Hebei, it would not be unreasonable."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yang's eyes were instantly filled with disbelief, as if he hadn't expected Gao Cheng to actually accept this suggestion.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but before the words reached his lips, a wave of grievance welled up inside him. He opened his mouth, speechless, not knowing what to say, only tears welling up in his eyes.

On the other hand, Li Xian and Cui Kai breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Gao Cheng's agreement.

After a moment, worried that Gao Yang might cause some more trouble and disrupt the matter, he decided not to stay any longer and got up to take his leave.

However, at this moment, Gao Cheng suddenly changed the subject, saying, "However, I already have a wife and concubines in my household, so it is really inconvenient to take in too many new people. I fear that the competition for favor in the harem will disturb my peace of mind."

Upon hearing this, Li Xian and Cui Kai's expressions froze instantly, and they were about to question him.

Before he could even speak, Gao Cheng changed the subject again: "Therefore, I've been thinking, could we perhaps discuss this further with my two uncles?"

The two were taken aback again, and Li Xian frowned: "What are you discussing?"

Gao Cheng turned to look at Gao Yang and said with a leisurely smile, "It has something to do with my second brother, Gao Yang. Although he is not handsome, he is resolute and has the bearing of a hero. He will surely achieve great things in the future. Since Uncle Li has two daughters, would you be willing to choose one to marry my second brother?"

After these words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent.

Gao Yang froze on the spot, his pupils wide open, almost as if he had misheard.

After a long pause, he stammered, "Ah... Brother, what... what do you mean?"

Gao Cheng rolled his eyes at him and said irritably, "What, you don't want to? Then forget it."

Gao Yang snapped out of his daze and, without thinking, blurted out, "Yes, yes, I'm willing!"

After saying this, he nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice, his face beaming with joy, and said, "Thank you, brother! Thank you, brother! Your kindness to me is like giving me a second life!"

However, upon hearing this, Li Xian's expression stiffened, and he appeared somewhat embarrassed.

This was because the only person he wanted to marry was Gao Cheng.

After all, Gao Cheng, as the eldest son of the Gao family, would inevitably become the master of the Great Wei Dynasty sooner or later.

The political resources that his two daughters could bring by marrying him would far surpass those of Gao Yang.

Furthermore, Gao Yang's appearance... is truly hard to look at.

Marrying her beautiful daughter to him would be like putting a flower in cow dung.

But since this was Gao Cheng's request, he couldn't simply refuse.

He could only say tactfully, "I know the young master's intentions. However, the marriage of our children should be left to their own wishes. I will ask the two daughters what they think when I return. If they are willing, I will certainly agree."

The moment these words were spoken, Gao Yang's smile froze instantly.

As intelligent as he was, he could naturally hear the evasiveness in Li Xian's words. He was both anxious and angry, yet helpless.

Gao Cheng remained expressionless, only nodding with a smile: "That's how it should be. However, I believe that although Erlang is not handsome, his sincerity is beyond question. Your daughter will not suffer if she marries him."

After saying that, he looked at Cui Kai and said, "Uncle Cui, how about we follow the same precedent for marriage alliances? If the Cui family has a daughter, she can marry my third brother, Gao Jun. The Gao family's daughter will also choose a virtuous and capable man to marry into the Cui family."

Seeing that Li Xian had compromised, Cui Kai had no objections and immediately nodded, saying, "I will obey the Crown Prince's command."
