The Empress Dowager's words were like drumsticks beating Xiao Bao'er's heart, why was this still the result? If she hadn't lit the rhinoceros incense, marrying Xuan Ze was what she had always dreamed of, but a few hours ago, she had a glimpse of the heavens and learned that this marriage was just a catastrophe, what should she do?
Marry Xuan Ze, persuade him to give up his ambitions, the two of them stay together, and herd horses in Beiliao together? No, if the persuasion is ineffective, it is completely to use other people's lives to fulfill their love, and they can no longer drag down their father and brother like in their dreams.

"Wait," she called out to the eunuch who was about to go out to deliver the message, "The Empress Dowager, Bao'er doesn't want to marry Qingshanjun, Bao'er only treats him as his brother...... Bao'er grew up on the grassland since she was a child, and her reckless temperament brought a lot of trouble to the Queen Mother. I implore the Empress Dowager to take back Bao'er's status as a princess, marry Bao'er to Tanhualang, and make a chai and rice couple with this person. ”
Her words were like thunder on the ground, knocking everyone in Shouning Palace unconscious.
The Empress Dowager had never encountered such an out-of-control situation, she looked at Xiao Bao'er's expression and asked, "You really decided to marry Tanhualang, and give up the dignity of a princess for a person you have never met?"
Xiao Bao'er knelt at the feet of the Empress Dowager and kowtowed three times seriously, "Bao'er is willing, Bao'er has no regrets." Seeing that the development of things was becoming more and more uncontrollable, and everything was different from what was expected, the Empress Dowager said calmly, "Get up, this matter will be discussed later." "Xiao Bao'er can not be the identity of the princess of Great Xia, but it can't change the fact that she is the beloved daughter of the king of Northern Liao!
In the side room next to the council hall, a narcissus that blooms in advance is exuding a faint fragrance. A man in red sat behind the table where the narcissus was placed, and a man in red sat behind the case, carefully copying the poems stacked aside.
The room was quiet, but the man in red, who was struggling to write, suddenly stopped writing and looked at the door. An old man dressed in eunuch clothes asked in surprise, "Childe, how did you know I was here?"
The man in red put his pen on the table and stretched his body very boredly, "I guess." ”
The old man said flatteringly: "Childe is really like a god, and he has no last resort." ”
"Wrong," the man in red shook his hand at the old man, "something happened today that I didn't expect!" he said, he snorted coldly, and his beautiful phoenix eyes suddenly had an indescribable color. It looked a little like the curiosity of a cat when it saw a bird, and a little like the excitement of a jackal smelling food.
The old man was very familiar with the expression of the man in red, "Childe, who is going to be unlucky?"
"Your master, me. ”
The man in red held his chin with one hand, tapped the table with the other, and asked, "Uncle He, do you know anything about that little princess of Northern Liao?"
The princess of Northern Liao, Uncle He, thought for a moment and said, "The prince did not ask the old slave to collect information about this person. ”
"Really, it's strange, why would a kid I've neglected want to marry me?"
"What?" He Bo was shocked, he just pretended to be a eunuch and walked around the palace for a tea time, and such a big event happened in front of him. "Childe, that's why you're locked up in the side hall?"
The man in red nodded, "I politely declined this marriage. The Son of Heaven was young, and for the first time, he was dismissed by someone, and when he was angry, he punished me for copying poems here. ”
Uncle He asked with some doubts: "Childe, will anyone know your identity?"
"Yao Xitong, the son of a wealthy gentry in Qidi, a new science and technology detective, this is my identity. An identity that can stand up to verification and will not give rise to any suspicion. ”
"That'...... Are you there to provoke this princess without knowing it?"
Yao Xitong frowned and sighed lightly, "It's not my fault that I'm too good-looking." On the day of the palace test, the princess happened to be seen, so there was today's disaster. Ay...... Originally, I wanted to take this opportunity to infiltrate the temple. Now that I'm somehow a colt, I don't know what the princess of Beiliao looks like? ”
He Bo asked cautiously: "Childe, you also asked me about the situation of Princess Beiliao before. Listening to what you said at this time, it seems that you know this princess very well. ”
Yao Xitong raised her beautiful eyebrows and said rather scoundrelly, "Yelu Bao'er, fourteen years old this year, came to Daxia with his father at the age of nine, and was given the surname 'Xiao' by the first emperor and canonized as a princess. ”
"It is said that this princess Bao'er has a violent temper, and she will beat and scold the palace people around her with a few martial arts, and she has disabled several palace people over the years, and she is the most annoying master in the palace, and there is no one. ”
Uncle He asked: "Childe is worried that this princess has a bad temper and Childe can't control it?"
Yao Xitong waved his fingers left and right, "She's not bad-tempered, she's uneducated, and the upbringing grandmothers who went to Great Xia with her are all dead." One grandmother fell into the water, and the other grandmother broke the rules and was beaten to death by her own hands......"
"Childe means ......"
"After listening to me, the master with the worst temper in the palace is Xiao Bao'er. Do you know who has the best temper?"
He Bo shook his head.
"Xuan Ze, the concubine of the lord of the Song land. ”
"The old slave has seen this person, and he is indeed a humble gentleman, with a handsome demeanor, a noble demeanor, and a kind look. said that he was the best-tempered master in the palace, and the old slave believed it. ”
Yao Xitong stood up with his hands behind his back, pointed to the daffodils on the table and said, "This flower is very beautiful, how many people will not look at the beautiful flowers when appreciating the flowers, but only pay attention to the rhizomes that nourish the flowers?"
"Childe, the old slave doesn't understand your words. Do you want to say that Qingshan-kun is not the same person on the outside?"
"Qingshan-kun has a very good relationship with this princess Bao'er, why did a girl who everyone hates get the favor of this person? Also, the little princess's grandmother all died after she met Qingshan-kun, do you smell the conspiracy? Unfortunately, not everyone only looks at flowers, not rhizomes. The Empress Dowager is an understanding person, and she also saw the rhizomes of flowers, which will make the little princess choose her husband. ”
He Bo has never been able to keep up with his son's thinking, but he is just a concubine of a vassal country, even if he marries a princess in a wild land, can the two of them turn the sky upside down? His doubts did not escape Yao Xitong's eyes, the latter said: "Song Land has money, Northern Liao has soldiers, Qingshan Jun's game of chess is so big!"
"Childe, are you too worried? Song Land is just a vassal state, sandwiched between Great Xia and Chen Land, if Qingshan Jun wants to become the lord of Song Land, is it possible to let the soldiers of Northern Liao go around from Chen Di to Song Land? This kind of thing, even if the Lord of Chen Land agrees, the Empress Dowager will definitely not agree. ”
"Uncle Ho, you are wrong again. The inheritance system of concubines is an unchangeable rule, and Qingshan Jun is afraid that it is not only Song Land, he wants the world!"
He Bo smiled, "How is this possible, Great Xia is the orthodoxy of the royal family, and he is unknown." Besides, how dare a concubine who has no power, no soldiers, at most a concubine who can occupy the bloodline and become the lord of the Song land, dare to think about the imperial power of Great Xia?"
Yao Xitong said: "Your statement is correct, but I trust the Empress Dowager's intuition more. This woman has lived in the center of power all her life, and she thinks that there must be problems with people. ”
"Childe, the old slave doesn't understand again. If it is the Queen Mother's layout to let the princess choose to marry, why did the princess choose you?"
Yao Xitong scratched his head in embarrassment, took out a mirror from his arms and looked at it, "Could it be that the little princess really admires my appearance?" Or is Qingshanjun fledgling, this is not a good time to marry the princess, and the princess chose me under his instructions." ”
"Childe said that he laughed, can Qingshan-kun still guess that you will refuse to marry?"
Yao Xitong put down the mirror and said to himself: I really guessed wrong? Xiao Bao'er is the only concubine of the king of Northern Liao, and has the right to inherit Northern Liao, is there really no conspiracy to choose a husband this time?
He Bo didn't give Yao Xitong time to think carefully, and then asked: "Why did the son refuse to marry, and for what reasons?" Yao Xitong knew what He Bo was worried about, and said bluntly: "I didn't disrespect the will, I only said that I wanted to marry a woman who was willing to give up glory and wealth for me." ”
He Bozhen wants to ask his son-in-law, this is not called resistance, what is resistance?
"Childe, the old slave still wants to ask more, what if this princess is really willing to give up her glory and wealth?
Yao Xitong glared at He Bodao and said: "There is no such possibility, Princess Bao'er is just a little delicate, but her brain is not bad, how can she give up everything to marry a stranger?"
"The old slave thinks that this marriage is good, even if she gives up her status as the princess of Great Xia, she is still the daughter of the king of Northern Liao!
Yao Xitong's face suddenly sank, "Uncle He, what do you say I want to be a soldier?"
Uncle He also knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly said: "Son, the guards outside the door are estimated to wake up, and the old slave should also leave, we will see you outside the palace." ”
Yao Xitong picked up the pen and continued to transcribe the poems, he knew where He Bo would go, and an indescribable sourness suddenly surged into his heart.
At the dinner, the Son of Heaven presented the book of poems to the Empress Dowager as a congratulatory gift, and couldn't help but mention Xiao Baoer's choice of husband.
The Empress Dowager summoned Yao Xitong along the topic.
Xiao Bao'er sat beside the Empress Dowager, and the golden bead curtain on the crown covered most of her appearance, making it impossible for outsiders to spy on her true face. Through the bead curtain, her gaze was glued to Xuan Ze. It's a pity that this man who was concerned by her never glanced at her.
Xuan Ze's status is not high, and the seats are lined up at the end of the hall, and there are dozens of desks between him and Xiao Baoer. After the feast, he did not try to express himself like the other nobles, but just sat quietly, and stood out from the crowd with a temperament that was incompatible with the banquet.
He was waiting, and years of experience had taught him that against a woman with a strong desire to control the Empress Dowager, passive often achieved better results than initiative.
"Tanhualang is here!" the eunuch's chanting finally made Xiao Bao'er withdraw her gaze from Xuan Ze.
