Chapter 253 Sauvignon Blanc 10
Ling Xi seriously considered King Haoling's suggestion of choosing a study partner.

Finally, she put forward her request to King Hao Ling: "Father, I want to hold a selection competition."

King Hao Ling was confused when he heard this. "Selection competition? Don't you want to choose a study partner from an aristocratic family?"

Ling Xi shook his head and replied, "No, I will naturally consider people from aristocratic families, but in order to be fair and just, I want to announce that no matter whether they are from the God Clan or the Human Clan, as long as they are of the right age, they can participate in this selection. Moreover, one of my study partners must be from a commoner."

King Hao Ling understood her purpose very well. Today, the four major clans and the six major clans in the Central Plains were so powerful that they could even influence the positions of Hao Ling and Xi Yan. This was a problem for both Hao Ling and Xi Yan. Therefore, both countries wanted to solve this problem.

But the clan is not something that can be gotten rid of just by saying so.

Haoling has been a country for thousands of years and has a profound heritage, but the four major clans are also large families with profound heritage, and their inheritance has also been passed down for thousands of years.

Tushan was the richest man in the Great Wilderness, famous for his business. His business empire spread across the Great Wilderness, and he controlled more than half of the businesses in the Great Wilderness, making him rich enough to rival a country.

The Chishui clan has advanced shipbuilding technology. Both Haoling and Xiyan have to order ships from the Chishui clan. Especially since Haoling has a lot of water, the number of ships they need can only be more.

Although the Xiling family is not as strong as before, they cannot be underestimated, especially the current King Xiyan, who relied on the Xiling family to get to where he is today.

The Guifang clan are extremely mysterious and rarely appear, but they are good at reading people's hearts and are insidious, treacherous and hard to predict.

In the eyes of the four major clans, there is only difference between families, and there is no concept of country.

From ancient times to the present, the four major clans have been a community of shared destiny, sharing honor and disgrace, and weal and woe. It can be said that the four families are one, balancing the situation in the world.

In the past, King Chenrong wanted to improve the status of civilians and fight against the clans. Chichen and the clans were hostile for hundreds of years, but in the end, Chenrong Kingdom lost the support of the clans and was still unable to support itself. Finally, the country was destroyed in the war with Xiyan.

The current King of Xiyan married Xiling Wei, a remarkable woman from the Xiling clan. With the support of the Xiling clan and relying on his own abilities, he brought Xiyan to its current status.

"Axi, you have to know that the path you are taking is very difficult. If you use civilians, you may become hostile to the clans, and they are not easy to deal with."

King Hao Ling said earnestly that the path of an emperor was destined to be difficult. When he was still a prince, he almost lost his life many times due to conspiracy.

He had given up many things for the throne. Friendship, love, he had no choice but to give up everything, so he didn't want Ah Xi to take this path in the beginning.

As a father, he would rather his daughters be mediocre, and hope that they can live a happy, healthy and free life.

Ling Xi understood King Hao Ling's painstaking efforts, and her heart felt like a warm current was flowing through her. She smiled and looked at King Hao Ling, her father, and said, "Don't worry, father. I won't act impulsively. This time I'm just choosing a commoner as my companion. Someone from the clan will also be selected. Those clans won't say anything. As for the rest of the things, I have plenty of time and energy to deal with them slowly."

Ling Xi is not a fool. Only a fool would choose to confront those worlds head-on.

Those clans are one body, and all the families are related, but the families ultimately pursue profit above all else. As long as there are enough interests, there is no need to worry about not being able to deal with them. Of course, it would be best if they could be divided and disintegrated from within.

King Hao Ling was relieved then. What she was most worried about was that A Xi was young and hot-tempered and would directly confront the clan, which would mean she would be following in Chen Rong's footsteps.

King Hao Ling turned the ring on his hand, "Just keep it in mind. I will ask Rushou to post the notice later, and also send you the news about the young ladies of each clan, so that you can have an idea in mind." Ling Xi smiled, "Thank you, father."

In fact, she understood why her father proposed to choose a study partner for her. On the one hand, he hoped that she could train her own people so that she would not be left without anyone around her. On the other hand, it was for the sake of the power behind her.

Her mother was not of high birth, which meant that she had no support from her maternal family. If she chose a study companion, especially one from an aristocratic family, she would have the support of some aristocratic family behind her. This was one of the reasons why she would not confront the aristocratic family directly. They were using her, and she was also using them.

The reason why Ling Xi agreed to choose a study companion was that she hoped to train some women. In her future vision, she would be the Queen of Haoling, or even the Lord of the Great Wilderness. Since women are in power, there must be women serving as officials and generals.

In her world, women should occupy half of the space.

In fact, the status of women in the wilderness today is not very high.

What an extraordinary woman Xiling Hua, the queen of Xiyan, was. She helped King Xiyan all the way to this point, but in the end she was deeply involved in the harem struggles of King Xiyan. All her children lost their lives due to King Xiyan’s favoritism and scheming, and Xiling Hua also died of grief in the palace.

Xiling Heng was a great general, but few people in the Great Wilderness mentioned her. Those who knew her would only talk about the fact that she and King Haoling were a divorced couple, and the rumors about her relationship with Chi Chen.

Xiyan is like this, let alone Haoling.

She didn't want this to happen. Women should achieve something.

The next day, a notice was posted in Haoling Royal City, announcing that the second and third princesses of Haoling were required to choose study companions, regardless of their background, only their talent and learning would be considered.

This news not only spread quickly throughout Haoling, but also throughout the entire Great Wilderness.

Regardless of their background, this alone is enough to make countless people excited.

Moreover, anyone with eyes can see what King Hao Ling is thinking about the Second Princess.

If the Second Princess is the future King Haoling, then her position as a study partner will surely be a popular one.

And for such an enviable position, the candidate is not selected from the four tribes of Hao Ling, but is selected regardless of background. King Hao Ling's intentions are obvious to all.

The face of King Hao Ling was something that all the noble families had to give. Moreover, Princess Hao Ling chose a girl as her study partner. Girls were not included in the training sequence of heirs by these noble families from the beginning. Therefore, why not send a girl out as a tool to show goodwill to King Hao Ling? Anyway, for them, this was the only use of girls.

Furthermore, he would become the future study partner of King Hao Ling, which would also be beneficial to his future marriage.

The four major clans did not take any action. After all, the position of a princess's companion was not that attractive to them.

The six major clans in the Central Plains took action, and almost every clan sent a woman to Haoling, but some of them were sincere, while others just did it casually to save face.

For a time, people from all over the Wilderness went to Hao Ling.

The Five Gods Mountain is very lively nowadays, with women from all over the Great Wilderness gathering here in the hope of becoming a study partner to the two Haoling princesses, especially the Second Princess, and showing their talents in one fell swoop.
