Anything that has the emperor's attention will go very smoothly, and this time is no exception. Si Tianjian quickly came up with the results of the eight-character ratio, and it was no surprise that it was all good luck. But there are accidents in everything, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is paid special attention to by the emperor, is that accident.

Si Tianjian was sitting anxiously on the side, peeking at the emperor sitting behind the imperial case from time to time, his face sinking like water.

Emperor Yongping looked at the secret fold sent back by Si Tianjian in his hand, and wanted to curse in his heart. The rest of the sons are fine, how can they get to the prince, so much for them? If he hadn't joined the eight characters in advance, he would have had to be vague at this time.

Si Tianjian saw that the emperor's eyes narrowed dangerously, and the nervous beads of sweat couldn't stop running down his face, and the hands hidden under his sleeves were a little trembling.

"Aiqing, is this the final result of your Heavenly Prison giving me?" The emperor flicked the fold and asked unhurriedly.

Si Tianjian quietly wiped his sweat, kept his composure, and got up respectfully and replied, "Yes." ”

"Prince, I want to hear about it." The emperor had a kind attitude, but Si Tianjian was under great pressure.

"Return, return to the saint......"

The emperor waved his hand lightly, stopped his words, picked up a small wooden box on the case, handed it to the eunuch beside him, and raised his chin slightly, "Show him." ”

Si Tianjian was trembling with his hands, and he took the wooden box respectfully, and opened it under the emperor's instructions, there were only two plain notes full of handwriting, and he suddenly had some bad premonitions, and when he finished reading what was written on the two pieces of note, his mind was blank, and only two words were swiping the screen: "It's over!" ”

The emperor smiled and asked gently, "What do you have to say?" ”

Si Tianjian knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowed respectfully, and calmed down, "The minister is guilty of negligence, please punish the saint." At the same time, he was ruthless in his heart, even if he was punished by the saint today, don't think about the people who cheated him, don't think about it, don't even think about running away.

At that time, Si Tianjian Zheng never thought that someone would be bold enough to do anything to them, you must know that the so-called combination of eight characters is basically a procedure, everyone picks up auspicious words and writes some, and it is over to please the emperor. After all, the princes and princesses are all married to the children of famous and noble families, and they are also selected by the emperor.

Originally, this time, he also planned to do this, but the bad thing was that Si Tianjian came to a young eunuch some time ago, and he was still a scholar who was famous for his straightforwardness and pedantic. used to be a historian of the imperial family, because his speech was too ugly, he took care of everything, and he still admitted death, and was dug a pit and buried, and finally got Si Tianjian to receive a young eunuch, and it was idle at that time.

This young eunuch is very enthusiastic about his work, and he is very serious, which is the result of the first time he found out that the prince and the future princess have been together. When he said that someone must have made a mistake and asked for a recalculation, the young eunuch slapped the table and glared at him, saying that he was derelict in his duty and intended to deceive the saint and the prince and plot against him. In those eyes staring at him, Chi Guoguo wrote, you must have been bribed! The young eunuch also threatened him that if he dared to change the result, he would write an excerpt to him!

Rub, you're not a royal historian anymore, you don't have the right to hear about it, who can you join! Si Tianjian wanted to yell at him like this, but he was afraid that this person would really make trouble in the court, then he would offend Su Xiangye on the surface, or, not only Su Xiangye, but also His Royal Highness the Prince. Now everyone in the court understands how much His Royal Highness the Crown Prince attaches importance to the ten ladies of the Su family, if he knows that he messed up the marriage, will he still have good fruits to eat in the future! Damn, the more I think about it, the more I feel that my future life will be very miserable.

Si Tianjian was thinking a lot, but the emperor just didn't say anything, and he could only hold on. It took a pillar of incense to hear the emperor say, "I want to know what is going on." ”

"The minister must investigate this matter strictly." Si Tianjian immediately expressed his loyalty.

"Remember, you only get one chance." The emperor's voice was neither light nor heavy, but it made Si Tianjian bow down again.

The emperor's originally happy mood was ruined. With a straight face, he sat on the throne and opened his mind. As a professional emperor, the basic skills are suspicious, and he has been trained to the highest level. From a small thing, without being inspired by others, he can make up as many intrigues as he can in his own brain.

For example, today's incident, the emperor began to think that this must be a black hand fighting for the position of the crown princess. But after a while, he felt that it would not be so simple. The princes are all older, will there be anyone who is unwilling to be on the throne and start to set the crown prince from now on? The resulting brain supplement is innumerable, and the more his brain is blackened, the darker his face becomes. The darker the emperor's face, the more the eunuchs and palace maids serving in the palace did not dare to come out, for fear that the emperor would anger him.

It was in such a quiet and somewhat strange atmosphere that the prince came to his father.

"Daddy...... "How did his father look as if he had been bullied by someone, and the whole person was gloomy.

The emperor casually pointed to the position beside him, "Shichiro, sit." ”

His father's attitude is wrong, isn't it? The prince looked at Jia Xi suspiciously, and asked with his eyes, what did his father be stimulated? At the same time, he himself began to think about the recent affairs between the DPRK and China: well, the border is very quiet; There are no catastrophes in the whole country; Recently, there is no uneyed imperial history, nothing to use his father to earn fame; Although the affairs of the DPRK and China are very complicated, it will not make his father look like this, right?

The emperor asked as if unintentionally, "Shichiro, how have you been getting along with your brothers lately?" ”

The prince said: "It's still like that." "That's right, as a child of a wife who has been favored by his father since he was a child, the prince has a good impression of his brothers who are not a mother.

"Oh." The emperor unconsciously responded, glanced at the incense tray lit in the room, and asked with a smile: "Qilang is here to accompany Daddy for lunch?" ”

The prince shook his head, "I heard that Daddy has been losing his appetite recently, so he specially asked someone to prepare several hors d'oeuvres and bring them to Daddy to taste." ”

The emperor was greatly moved, "It's still Shichiro thinking about me." He patted his son on the shoulder with relief, "I still remember when Shichiro was a child, when he ate something he liked, he always had to leave a copy for me." ”

Emperor Yongping, who was moved by his son's care, left his son to eat with him, thinking about his son's simple meal in the East Palace, and was a little distressed, so he specially instructed Jia Xi, "Sue the dining room, make a few more things that Qilang likes." ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't understand his father's love for his son at all, so he directly refused, "You don't have to have a lot, just two meat and two vegetables." Another serious persuasion of his father, "Although Daddy is a son of heaven, he must lead by example, and his daily actions should not be too extravagant." ”

I really want to beat him! The emperor was very upset by his son's advice and straightforwardness, and then in order to maintain the tall image in his son's heart, he couldn't say anything, he could only make a look of relief, and boasted: "Qilang has grown up." ”

Having lunch with Aiko, the emperor was not happy at all. He wanted to eat pork belly, but his son refused; He wanted to eat fat chicken, but was rejected by his son; He wanted to eat sheep brains, but was rejected by his son. The reason is that the imperial doctor's Jian yì wants the emperor to eat lighter recently, which is better for his body. In the end, the emperor himself nibbled on a bowl of rice with four plates of green vegetables and drank two bowls of mushroom soup.

"My son will come to dine with Daddy in the evening." Before the prince returned to the East Palace, he said to the emperor.

The emperor waved his hand impatiently, "Hurry up and go, it's annoying to see you, you don't have to come over at night." ”

The prince said very seriously: "No, for the sake of Daddy's health, my son will come to eat with you recently." ”

The emperor wants to die! He didn't want to gnaw on vegetable leaves for many days in a row, absolutely not! "Qilang, you see that the spring is blooming now, it is a good time to go out and play, don't you invite the little girl of the Su family to go out to play?" In order to be able to gnaw one less vegetable leaf a day, the emperor also worked hard, and coaxed his son with good words. Hurry up and play with the little girl, don't watch your dad eat.

The prince weighed it in his heart for a long time, he wanted to go to Shi Niang, and he had to look at his father, and then the good son came up with a brilliant idea, "Daddy, then every day at noon, the son brings his junior sister to accompany Daddy." "It just so happened that Shi Niang got used to the diet in the palace in advance, and if there was any disappointment, he just asked someone to correct it.

Emperor:...... He suddenly didn't want to give the will to marry so soon!

"Daddy, that's it." The prince left happily, and the emperor sat for a while, deciding that he still wanted to save himself.

The emperor said, "Jia Xi, go and invite Su Xiang to come over." ”

When Su Zhoucheng came over, he was still strange, didn't he just talk to the emperor in the morning.

"Faith, how is lunch in your political hall?" As soon as the emperor spoke, Su Zhoucheng felt that the painting style was wrong.

Su Zhoucheng looked at his senior brother cautiously, smiling so kindly, there must be something, "It should be good." ”

"What should it be? You haven't eaten it? ”

"The ministers always deliver food at home at noon." Su Zhoucheng glanced at the emperor and showed off, "It's all made by the minister's wife." "Yes, Su Zhoucheng's wife Lu has good cooking skills, and she learned from her mother-in-law.

The emperor was deeply jealous, and directly made a domineering decision: "Let my junior sister make one more, and you will have lunch with me every day in the future!" ”

Su Zhoucheng refused, so he didn't want to eat with the emperor, this product has never been disciplined, and he grabbed the vegetables and grabbed the fierce.

The emperor doesn't care if you refuse or not, anyway, he plans to rely on Su Zhoucheng.

Unilaterally had a good talk, and the emperor also complained to Su Zhoucheng to write and draw up three marriage wishes in one go. Then there was no prince, and the emperor said to Su Zhoucheng in a consultative tone: "Believe, you see that the beloved son and daughter of the two of us are married, is this will to marry Mr. Please do it." "When his son (daughter) marries, he must give him the best, which is the unifying idea of two centuries of good fathers.

"You have to choose an auspicious day for the zodiac, and you can only do it after burning incense and worshipping." The emperor stroked his beard and added another item. How important is the will to marry the crown prince, how can it be written casually.

These Su Zhoucheng didn't make sense, he only mentioned one, "After the marriage, it is better for the fiancée not to meet again." ”

The emperor squinted at his junior brother, "Isn't it time for the young couple to familiarize themselves with each other in advance?" ”

"It's familiar enough, how familiar is it." Su Zhoucheng also glared back at the emperor, "Didn't the older generation say that it is not good for unmarried couples to be in front of them before marriage?" ”

The emperor immediately exposed his shortcomings: "Since you know so well, why did you take her all over the city after you got engaged to your junior sister." ”

Su Zhoucheng: ......

After the emperor succeeded in spitting his brother, he was in a good mood, and in the following month, several decrees of marriage were promulgated one after another.

The Ministry of Rites was very busy during this time, and several princes had fiancées one after another. Princess Qi is Liu Chunjiao, the eldest daughter of Liu Ziye, the general of the Right Military Guard; Princess Zhao is Wei Yulan, the sixth mother of the Wei family; Princess Wu is Su Rong, the eldest daughter of Su Zhoude, the prince of Yasukuni.

Then there is the third prince Zhou Wang Na side concubine, this side concubine named by the emperor himself is from the Wuyi Prince's mansion, and the current daughter of the Wuyi Duke Wang Shuyun.

Seeing that the marriages of several princes have been decided, only the prince's has not yet been settled, and the family who was already dead in heart has inexplicably looked forward to it. A smart person quietly inquired and found that the emperor had been competing with Si Tianjian recently, asking them to choose the auspicious day of the zodiac in the last month.

The ministers of the DPRK and the central government still wondered, even if the quasi-princesses of several princes were decided, but if they really wanted to go through the marriage procedure, they would not be so fast?

The emperor was not only looking for the auspicious day of the zodiac for the decree, but also for the auspicious day of the zodiac for writing the decree. Si Tianjian is being tortured by the emperor to death, he can't sue yet, he is currently in the stage of waiting for the crime to make meritorious contributions, no matter what the emperor asks him to do, he must do it beautifully, and strive to ensure the satisfaction of the emperor twelve.

"Why, haven't you found out yet?" The emperor had just finished lunch with his junior brother, and he was still a little lazy, half-leaning on the chair, squinting, and two handsome palace maids rubbed his shoulders and legs with their soft and tender little hands.

Si Tianjian was in charge, and the two young eunuchs were sitting in the room, and several people looked at each other. The face of the supervisor and one of the deputy eunuchs was bitter, and the investigation was found out, but they didn't want to tell the emperor the truth.

The upright young eunuch sat up straight, and when he heard the emperor's question, he motioned to his boss with his eyes to answer truthfully and quickly, and after finding that Si Tianjian was spitting and grinding, he decisively straightened his robe, stood up himself, and said with a straight look: "Back to the sage, the ministers have found out that it was instructed by Her Royal Highness Princess Huyang." ”

The Emperor had expected this answer. He just didn't expect that Si Tianjian would say it so honestly, and he didn't find an excuse to make people carry a black pot. He opened his eyes and looked at the one who straightened up and poked in front of him, and his heart was a little puzzled. I said, how can those people in the Heavenly Prison be so honest.

"You said it was Princess Huyang, but there is evidence!" The emperor was also very worried, Princess Huyang was his first child, and she was born to his wife, which was very special in his heart. It can be said that among the existing children, except for the crown prince, she is the one who worries the emperor the most. He knew that his daughter felt that the prince was not very close to her, so he wanted his sister-in-law to be the crown princess in order to get closer to the prince. But...... Alas......

Si Tianjian is a shrewd person, as soon as he heard the emperor's tone, he knew that the emperor didn't want Her Royal Highness the princess to be involved, he immediately stood up, bent down and pleaded guilty: "The ministers were in a hurry to go back and forth to the saint as soon as there was a result, and they didn't ......" He wanted to say that he hadn't verified it yet, and he tried to make the emperor scold, and he also wanted to give the emperor a step.

Who knew that before he finished speaking, he was intercepted by the upright young eunuch: "There is evidence!" As he spoke, he deliberately presented the collected evidence with both hands, and when Jia Xi went to pick it up, he wondered how this person became a fourth-grade official.

Emperor, Si Tianjian Zheng: ...... This person really has the wrong surname, and the surname Geng is really worthy of him. Yes, Geng's upright young eunuch happens to be surnamed Geng.

"All right, go down." The emperor was so depressed that he couldn't do it, he was so depressed by Geng Yushi before he changed him to a quiet place, who knew that Geng Yushi had arrived in a place like Si Tianjian, and it could give him a headache.

The emperor didn't even turn over the evidence that was presented, so he asked Jia Xi to take it down and dispose of it. He was going to keep it a secret and not let anyone else know about it. The relationship between the son and several sisters is ordinary, and the eldest daughter is annoyed by the eldest daughter because of the crown princess. Let the son know that the eldest daughter is doing something in his marriage, and I am afraid that the knot will be deeper.

He is an emperor and knows what is most taboo as an emperor. The prince, who was personally taught by him, learned almost ten out of ten about his character.

"Jia Le, go and invite Princess Huyang into the palace." The emperor plans to talk to his daughter, and he also feels that the relationship between his son and eldest daughter needs to be mended.

Princess Huyang was very calm when she saw the emperor, and after smiling and saluting, she snuggled up to the emperor like a little daughter, "Daddy, you have been so busy lately, and the retainer hasn't seen you for a long time." ”

The emperor patted his daughter's hand, "I'm free today, Ah Feng can accompany me for a walk." ”

Princess Huyang replied with a smile: "Okay." She took the emperor's arm, just like when she was unmarried, and accompanied the emperor on the road of the imperial garden.

The emperor looked at such a well-behaved daughter, and suddenly his heart softened, and when he wanted to talk before, he rolled his lips and swallowed it back, only picking up some trivial matters and chatting with his daughter.

The two chatted as they went, and they couldn't help but talk about the marriage of several princes, Princess Huyang frowned and said: "The princess of the fourth brother, who is not good for Daddy to choose, why did he choose the daughter of the Liu family." She felt very bad about Liu Ziye's stepwife, and even hated the two daughters of the Liu family.

The emperor smiled and shook his head, "I'm already a mother, why do you still have this temper." ”

However, that's what Princess Huyang said, King Qi is not a brother with her mother, what kind of woman he marries, she doesn't bother to care, and now the main focus is on the prince. "Daddy, Liulang has a princess, who do you choose, princess?" After the emperor issued a holy decree and named Su Rong as the princess of Wu, Princess Huyang had expectations, maybe the crown princess was not Su Yan.

The emperor laughed, "I thought Ah Feng knew everything." ”

Princess Huyang tilted her head, "Erchen guessed that it was the second mother of the Zhu family before, but Daddy and Qilang seem to prefer the tenth mother of the Su family." When Erchen thought it would be the tenth mother of the Su family, Daddy married Su Qiniang to Liulang again, this time Erchen really didn't dare to guess. ”

The emperor smiled: "What is there to guess about this, is it the ten mothers of the Su family." He told his daughter straight to the point, staring at her with wise eyes.

Under this pair of eyes that can almost penetrate all your thoughts, Princess Huyang is a little uncomfortable, "Daddy really chose her?" I heard ......"

"I heard that I just heard about it, and it doesn't mean the truth, Ah Feng understands?" The emperor said lightly.

Princess Huyang nodded almost undetectably, her expression a little depressed, "Erchen understands." ”

The emperor stroked his daughter's hair, "But what Ah Feng said is right, the two daughters of the Duan family are good, and it is also good to be a good woman." "He thought that Prince Duan Yan didn't like it, but Duan Jiao and Su Yan were very close, so it was better to choose Duan Jiao." I have seen the second mother of the Duan family before, and it looks good, what does Ah Feng think? ”

Duan Jiao? Princess Huyang's first reaction was to shake her head, "Erniang has a marriage contract." "This is not her nonsense, Duan Jiao's marriage was set by the old lady of the Duan family, and her fiancé is the nephew of the old lady Duan.

"What?" The emperor thinks it's not easy to do, or Duan Yan? "Then Sanniang, it's also a good child. But the temperament is a little delicate, just let the female officials in the palace teach. "Anyway, my daughter also prefers Duan Yan, and she has a closer relationship with her, it's her.

Princess Huyang is very unwilling, obviously Sanniang can be the crown princess, why should she be a concubine. But she also knew that if the emperor made up his mind, it would not be so easy to change. Alas, Liangdi is Liangdi, anyway, the days are long, who will have the last laugh.

Princess Huyang is unwilling, why is the prince still unhappy, he is annoyed Duan Yan to death, okay. Moreover, the emperor thought that he had hidden everything, and Princess Huyang thought that she had mastered the means, and no one could know. They don't know that there are no absolutes in this world. The crown prince's methods for his eldest sister, even if he didn't notice it at the time, knew it clearly later.

The eldest sister's hand is a little too long! He was dissatisfied with Princess Huyang, and the associated emperor accidentally mentioned to him that he wanted Duan Yan to do the prince Liangdi's thing, but the prince refused without thinking about it, "Don't." ”

The emperor was surprised, "Isn't Duan Sanniang also very beautiful, and she plays the piano well, why doesn't Qilang like it?" "In the emperor's opinion, there is never too little beauty.

"Uh, does Shichiro think she's not very good?" The emperor thought that he had found a reason for the prince's refusal and reassured his son, "It's okay, I just sent a few female officials over to teach." ”

"Then don't." The prince's attitude was unusually firm.

The emperor wondered, "Why?" ”

The prince said arrogantly, "I just don't like her and don't want to see her." ”

"Okay then." The emperor found out that his son really didn't like it, so he could only say sorry to his daughter. Thinking that there should be other girls in the Duan family, choose a more docile one, but it can't be a good person, just be a good person. Because of this, the emperor thinks that his son prefers girls with a gentle temperament, and this is easy to do, and he has a long list there.
