Xiao Diyuan said respectfully: "Erchen understands, so Erchen asked his father to give him a little special treatment in this matter, which can be regarded as a reluctant invitation from Erchen." ”

"To tell you the truth, Yuan'er, since you were a child, have I given you less special treatment? It's okay to talk about other things, but you can't make a special case when it comes to starting a family, otherwise the Tianjia family and subjects should worry more about you. Xiao Hong said solemnly.

Hearing this, Xiao Diyuan only felt a faint coldness in his heart. Is the Tian family really worried about his private affairs? I'm afraid not necessarily, it's true that some of the subjects will be worried, but no matter what, Xiao Hong is not wrong to say this, so Xiao Diyuan didn't dare to refute, but Xiao Diyuan didn't give up his thoughts easily, and still said with a warm face: " Indeed, the sons have really received too much special treatment from their fathers since they were young, and this is the last one that the sons ask for special treatment, and I implore my father to give it to fulfillment, as for the worries of others, the sons will find a time to explain in person, and never let them blame you. ”

Xiao Hong stared at Xiao Diyuan's face for a long time, and snorted coldly from his heart, but his face was not moved, and he couldn't understand the real reason why Xiao Diyuan postponed his marriage for a while, but for some reason, he felt a little scared of his idea.

If a man who is at an age when he has a particularly pure affection for women is unwilling to start a family, but focuses on doing something practical, then the word 'practical matter' is something that makes him feel uneasy, and it may be said to be a threat.

Moreover, Xiao Diyuan actually said that this was the last time he begged him for special treatment, which shows how determined he is about this matter.

Even so, Xiao Hong was even more reluctant to fulfill him.

Xiao Hong coughed and asked in a deep voice, "Yuan'er, what's wrong with getting married?"

"Of course, it is good to get married, but Erchen doesn't want to start a family for the time being. ”

"According to the rules, from next month, your queen mother will start looking for a princess for you, I have solemnly talked to her about this matter yesterday, let her find a few more for you to choose from, you might as well choose at that time, what if you really meet someone you like?" Xiao Hong said in a slow voice.

At this time, if you don't appreciate it, it doesn't seem to be reasonable, Xiao Diyuan hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

He can accept their kindness for the time being, and whether or not he chooses someone at that time is a matter for him to control.

Seeing that he was finally willing to nod, Xiao Hong didn't say anything more on this matter, and immediately changed the topic: "From now until the 'Ninth Five-Year Competition', I will arrange someone to be responsible for your diet and rest to ensure that your diet and rest are healthy and regular. ”

Xiao Diyuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's not necessary," he said, "Erchen has always paid attention to diet and rest, and he will pay more attention in the future, and he will not worry about his father." ”

"Oh well. Xiao Hong nodded.

After coming out of Xiao Hong's place, Xiao Diyuan went directly back to his residence.

When Ding Cong saw him come in, he immediately stepped forward a few steps to greet him, and said, "Second Highness, the servant just heard from a palace maid on the queen's side that the queen is going to help you find a candidate for the imperial concubine at the beginning of next month." ”

Xiao Diyuan said: "I just knew about it from my father. ”

Ding Cong pondered for a moment, lowered his voice and said, "Second Highness, what about 'Weiwei'?"

Although Ding Cong did not see the scene of Jiang Yuetang wearing back into women's clothes, he had already seen the clues from the interaction between Xiao Diyuan and Jiang Yuetang, and heard Xiao Diyuan affectionately call Jiang Yuetang 'Weiwei', so after learning the news, he couldn't help but worry about his master.

"I won't let her down. ”

"Then what if Your Majesty wants you to choose one of the people the queen is looking for to be the imperial concubine?" Ding Cong asked with a worried face.

"He can't force me to do this. Xiao Diyuan said.

"In case Your Majesty turns his face......." Ding Cong couldn't help but be frightened when he thought about it.

"I have my own way. Xiao Diyuan said calmly.

He is the one who moves forward the more difficult it is.

Hearing him say this, Ding Cong was relieved.

................

After estimating that Xiao Diyuan had left the border of Zhao State, the Empress Dowager of Zhao State went to see Emperor Li Pei and said, "Your Majesty, there is a special person who has provided several suggestions for your third brother's case. ”

Li Pei's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said, "The child can't wait to know what those suggestions are and who that person is." ”

He said as he helped the Queen Mother to sit down.

The Empress Dowager retreated, and then took out the suggestions that Xiao Diyuan had written to her and handed them to him.

Although there was no signature below these suggestions, Li Pei immediately knew who provided these suggestions, and he hurriedly asked, "Has the queen mother met with him?"

The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "He didn't want to disturb you, so he didn't come to see you, but only met me quietly twice in Liuying Villa. ”

Although Li Pei felt that it was a pity that he didn't meet Xiao Diyuan, he could also understand Xiao Diyuan's intentions, so he didn't pursue it, but just held the hand of the Queen Mother and said: "He suggested that I would discuss it with the heads of the three divisions (Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Metropolitan Procuratorate) before making a decision. He added: "Of course, I won't reveal his true identity." ”

The Empress Dowager nodded, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "What is Your Majesty's personal opinion on these suggestions?"

Li Pei thought for a while and said: "The movement is too big, and if you are not careful, it will affect the relationship between the two countries, but his idea is very novel, as long as it is implemented carefully, it should be of great help to solve the case." In addition, he put forward a bold hypothesis -- assuming that Xiao Diyuan is not the real second prince of the Shu Kingdom, then where is the real second prince of the Shu Kingdom now? As long as this person can be found, there will be a practical breakthrough in the case. I think his assumptions and suggestions are very good, but it is very dangerous for us to conduct such an investigation in Akebono. ”

Zhou Rong, the secretary of Dali Temple, was almost recognized by the people of the Shuguo Palace back then, but fortunately, Xiao Diyuan came to the rescue and was able to return to the Shuguo with all his beards. Since that incident, the Dawn Palace will definitely be more cautious in terms of employing people, and it may not be easy to get in again this time.

However, if you don't start from the palace, it will be more difficult to grasp the clues.

Li Pei stared at Xiao Diyuan's suggestions, fell into deep thought, and soon he suddenly discovered a secret - among these suggestions, there are two or three fonts in each suggestion that are written in larger fonts, and they are slightly different.
