With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

Chapter 1011 The Heir Takes the Empire as Dowry 23
That's just how fate works.

Even if Ji Zixing appeared early and was outstanding, if she couldn't win the eldest sister's favor, she simply couldn't have her; this matter didn't discriminate based on who came first.

Seeing Ji Zixing's distraught state, Xie Nuo didn't know how to comfort him for a moment. After thinking for a while, he said, "Someone like Young Master Ji can find plenty of fish in the sea. Don't be too fixated on one thing."

So many women in the capital want to marry Ji Zixing; thinking about it this way, there must be quite a few disappointed ones.

"Thank you for your comfort, Princess Nuo, but..." Ji Zixing sighed, "Of all the waters in the world, I only want one, but alas, the falling flowers are willing, but the flowing water is indifferent."

"I thought I had time to do something, but now I realize it's all in vain." Ji Zixing's eyes were dim. Seeing such a handsome young man with such a sorrowful expression, Xie Nuo felt that anyone would feel heartbroken.

But when it comes to matters of the heart, there's really nothing you can do.

Even if she sympathized with Ji Zixing, relationships are based on mutual consent. She couldn't force her older sister to like him just because she felt sorry for him, could she? She quickly shook her head; she wouldn't do something that would hurt others and be disliked.

However, since their birth dates and times are still unknown, she felt that Ji Zixing didn't need to give up so early and could try to win him over.

After all, who knows what kind of person the man in front of the older sister is?

"Since you can't let go, try to fight for it again. It's not settled yet, is it? Just because things look harmonious doesn't mean they're really suitable. Maybe there are some reasons behind the scenes that prevent it from happening?"

Xie Nuo's original intention was that marriage is not just a matter between two people, but also depends on the two families.

The eldest sister has only just met the man and has no idea what kind of person he is behind closed doors, or whether they are a good match. Her parents will have to investigate and the two families will have to make contact to find out.

In her time, marriage wasn't a simple matter. Before marriage, it was hard to tell who among the men and women was pretending to be good. The man might act like a good person, wanting to get something for nothing, only to change his attitude after marriage. The woman might act like a good person, swindling money and then running away. Such cases were countless.

"Thank you, Princess Nuo." Ji Zixing looked somewhat better. "Perhaps I really should try again."

Seeing that he was in a better mood, Xie Nuo was also happy.

The two didn't talk much after that. Ji Zixing said goodbye to Xie Nuo and hurriedly left Wen Ao Pavilion, not knowing what he was going to do.

Xie Nuo guessed that the other party probably wanted to do something to move her older sister.

Seeing that her older sister was still chatting and laughing with the man, Xie Nuo thought that if the other party didn't have any major problems, Ji Zixing's chances were slim.

But there's nothing she can do about it, so all she could do was offer a few words of comfort.

"Third Sister, who were you talking to just now? The back view looks a bit like Ji Zixing?" Xie Kui walked over.

Xie Nuo said, "It was him. He was staring blankly in the direction of my eldest sister earlier, looking lost in thought. He's quite the lover."

Xie Kui said "Oh," and added, "He's so close to Zhou Shi, and my eldest sister has no interest in him, so it's not appropriate."

"Second sister, you still have some prejudice. What if eldest sister really likes someone like Ji Zixing?"

"There's nothing I can do about it. The eldest sister likes it. If Ji Zixing's character is okay, as the eldest sister, no one will dare to bully him even if he gets married. If anyone dares to bully the eldest sister, I will be the first one not to agree. I will beat him until he can't find the north and south."

These words made Xie Nuo laugh; his second sister could be quite hypocritical sometimes.

"I wonder how well Xie Kui's kung fu is progressing." Azhen pondered. Even with the hidden guards, Xie Kui's safety should be guaranteed. If Xie Kui's kung fu is up to par, even without the hidden guards, there shouldn't be any major problems.

“Yuanqi, go and find Xie Kui. Anyway, she didn’t go hunting today, so she’s probably just wandering around Wen’ao Pavilion. It’s not very interesting,” Azhen said. “Just tell her you want to test her martial arts skills.”

Having been busy with other matters recently, Azhen now plans to properly train Tian Xiekui's martial arts skills and, incidentally, assess his talent in this area. If he's promising, she intends to teach Xiekui more advanced martial arts techniques.

Upon receiving the order, Yuan Qi immediately arranged for someone to carry it out. Not long after, Xie Kui, who was still in Wen Ao Pavilion looking at various replicas of Ao Kingdom's trinkets, learned that A Zhen wanted to see her and wanted to see her martial arts progress. Without much thought, she excitedly followed him into the palace.

"Aunt, I haven't neglected my martial arts for a single day. Just arrange for any guard to fight me; don't hold back." Xie Kui believed she had a good talent in this area.

Especially after obtaining the martial arts manual from the Kingdom of Ao, she practiced it every day without fail. It was tiring, but it was something she enjoyed, and she didn't find it bad at all.

Azhen arranged for several guards to spar with Xie Kui one by one. Sure enough, Xie Kui's martial arts had improved a lot, and he was able to fight these guards to a standstill, which was enough to prove that he had good talent.

As for fighting the secret guards, they definitely wouldn't stand a chance.

Having confirmed Xie Kui's talent, Azhen took out a suitable internal energy cultivation manual for Xie Kui, along with some powerful moves, and had Xie Kui practice in the quiet room.

"This mental technique is not simple. After you've mastered it, don't reveal too much about it to others, and don't publicize it. Treat it as your trump card," Azhen said.

Xie Kui was puzzled. Even though he liked to show off a bit, he was generally obedient.

She would listen to anything A-Zhen instructed and would never disobey.

"Okay, Auntie, don't worry. Unless absolutely necessary, I will never brag about it everywhere," Xie Kui assured her repeatedly.

She knows her own personality; she likes to show off anything she has to her close friends.

She had to do what her aunt had asked, even if she was itching to do it.

Her aunt must be doing this for her own good. Her aunt would only be good to her and would never harm her. Listening to her aunt would never be a bad thing.

Azhen was very satisfied. In fact, Xie Kui's personality was indeed very suitable for leading troops.

He may seem straightforward, but he's not actually unaware of the intricacies of things; he just chooses not to bother with them.

She would carry out orders and suppress her own habits. At least that's how she treated her aunt, and that was enough for Azhen.

Just listen to me.

Anyway, she can live as long as she wants. As long as she can control Xie Kui's temper, she's not afraid that something might happen to her.

Meanwhile, Xie Kui, who had gone to the quiet room, began to study internal energy cultivation techniques. He became so engrossed in his research that he didn't even realize it until it got dark.

Azhen didn't send anyone to disturb them, but simply instructed people to prepare some food, knowing that Xie Kui would definitely not be able to leave the palace today.

"Aunt gave Second Sister some martial arts manuals from Ao Kingdom a while ago. I guess she suddenly remembered this and wanted to see how well Second Sister was practicing martial arts," Xie Nuo replied when Xie Liang and his wife asked about Xie Kui at the Prince An's residence.

Xie Nuo's eyes held a hint of envy: "I really envy Second Sister's talent for martial arts, but practicing martial arts is really too difficult."

She once dreamed of scaling walls and leaping across rooftops, but when several martial arts manuals were laid out before her, she realized what it meant to be powerless.

Second Sister can learn some moves after seeing them once, but even after practicing them dozens of times, they still look off.

"You three sisters each have your strengths, just make the most of them," Gao Yilan said with a smile, showing her utmost satisfaction with her three daughters.

Seeing her husband's leg ailment gradually improve, she had no regrets in this life.

“Yes, Third Sister has many admirable qualities,” Xie Ping added.

"Big sister, I want to sleep in your room tonight." After dinner, Xie Nuo whispered in Xie Ping's ear, "Let's have a private chat."
