"It's also clever. Pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info" the princess said casually. As soon as he opened the letter, he wrote three pages in a fluttering manner, nothing more than to praise the princess, and apologize for his inability to come, and then carefully listed the three reasons why the Holy Lord sent Zhao Xu to the expedition, first, Zhao Xu is familiar with the terrain and customs of the south and is good at water warfare; The second is that there are several generals under the command of King Pingnan, if Zhao Xu is the commander, he can best suppress them and integrate the army in the shortest time; The third is the support of the Queen Mother, as long as the Queen Mother clearly expresses her support for Zhao Xu and is not afraid that Zhao Xu is in danger, Emperor Wen will definitely consider the appointment. Finally, there is another sentence, if the princess really wants to see her, she can meet when she visits her grandmother.

The princess listened to the various reasons for fluttering, and her heart seemed to have taken a reassuring pill. But soon a chill also came up. Luo Pianqi actually knew it...... knew that she was pretending to be Xu'er to deliver the letter, and she also knew the purpose of looking for her...... has even figured out how to find herself, such a woman is wise and close to the demon...... I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for someone to marry her.

For a while, the princess had a complicated expression on her face.

Ah Lan and a few maidservants didn't dare to interject, just waiting for the princess's instructions, the princess was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Go back and tell your young lady that what I want to discuss with her today is Xu'er's marriage, since she is unwilling to show up, I will go to the house to visit the old lady tomorrow." ”

Ah Lan was not too surprised when she heard this, and returned: "Princess, Miss today has also carefully prepared a few gifts, and I want to dedicate them to Niangniang." ”

"Oh?"

Ah Lan took out an extremely delicate wooden box from his arms, slowly opened it, it was a red bracelet, Ah Lan handed over the wooden box to one of the princess's maids, and explained: "Yue Lao is tied with a red rope, fate is determined by heaven, and marriage events are also determined by heaven, no one will be punished by heaven because fate has not arrived, or has not yet married." ”

The princess was stunned for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Kang Lan, tell your young lady for me, the red ropes are all tied with thin threads, then you can know that the attribution of fate is never just one person, and sometimes the first one is not necessarily the most important line." ”

Ah Lan's face turned pale, but he still replied respectfully: "Yes, princess." ”

When Ah Lan came out of the door of the private room, there were many things in his eyes that people couldn't see, and if Steward Kang was there at this time, he would find that this Ah Lan was not Ah Lan. Alan has never been so unfathomable. And today Ah Lan is wearing heavy makeup, I can't see the original skin color and lip color, it seems that my face is a lot smaller, my posture is also a little petite, and the calluses on my hands are gone......

Luo Pian pulled the cloak on her body, and tried the princess's tone today, it seems that she wants to take advantage of this east wind to marry Zhao Xu to a main room, after all, if Pian Pian wants to enter the palace, then at least Zhao Xu will have to wait for two or three years, Zhao Xu is an only son, and the old people have the idea of holding their grandson, besides...... Pianjiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and there was a touch of sadness in his eyes.

From beginning to end, the princess felt that her identity was not worthy of Zhao Xu. And...... After Piao understood everything that the princess was worried about, as long as the sin was exposed, then what awaited him was another bloody storm. It's worth it to put yourself aside early and replace yourself with a stable second half of your life.

Just when Pianjiao slowly walked down the stairs, he saw a familiar figure who seemed to be talking to the proprietress about something, Pianjiao couldn't help but put the cloak on his body, didn't want him to recognize it, turned sideways, walked past him, and heard him negotiating with the proprietress Piercing, that domineering character really hasn't changed, is it looking for his mother? It seems that the princess's secrecy is not strictly done.

Zhao Xu was talking to the proprietress and wanted the proprietress to take him to find it, when a very familiar figure seemed to walk by, he stopped talking and looked at the woman, looking like he was fluttering, so he stepped forward and wanted to stop the woman.

"Childe, please come with me." Zhao Xu had just taken two steps forward when he was stopped by the proprietress and went in another direction.

Pianjiao lowered his head and walked forward, his brows were deeply locked, and he tried to persuade himself, it is not an exaggeration for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and as Zhao Xu, he will also be a very popular minister in the future, how can he have only one wife and concubine. However, no matter how big the truth is, the hurdle in my heart still can't be passed.

Thinking about things, Pianjiao didn't notice that a group of people rushed out of the roadside and was about to collide, but Pianjiao's light skills for many years made Pianjiao jump up violently.

And the guards in the middle of the group of people also quickly drew their swords, moved neatly, and reacted quickly to protect a person in purple clothes in the middle. fluttering like a proud butterfly, it landed gracefully, and the raised cloak shook everyone's eyes for a while.

"Sorry for offending." Fluttering was expressionless, raised his head, but saw that the person who was protected in the middle was actually his old friend, and his eyes flashed with a trace of shock and chagrin.

The purple-clothed man who was protected didn't recognize Pianjiao, and smiled lightly: "It's okay." ”

"Farewell." Pian Jiao didn't want to deal with the man in purple anymore, he could recognize his appearance as a woman dressed as a man, and this kind of makeup couldn't fool him for long.

The man arched his hand and said, "Goodbye." ”

Pianjiao turned around and left, and suddenly the purple-clothed man called to Pianjiao's back: "Yao Luo." ”

There was a chill behind the fluttering back, and his steps paused, but he quickly took another step forward. I don't think I heard the voice.

Seeing Pianjiao's reaction, the corners of the man's mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile. We can also see it in this way, and we are also destined.

Later, when the man in purple boarded the carriage that his entourage had followed, he did not forget to glance at the direction in which the man had left.

The low-key but not luxurious carriage slowly drove towards the Forbidden City, the place of the highest power in the country, where the master could often change the lives of countless people with a single idea.

The carriage stopped outside the palace gate, and Liu Yao, who had already changed into a court dress, got out of the carriage, and a second-class female official who was waiting for the emperor was already waiting there.

The purple court dress lined Liu Yao extraordinarily upright, and the palace maid couldn't help but admire, and Liu Yao couldn't help but think of that day when Liu Yao saw this female official, Luo Pianjiao, who was also wearing the same costume, led herself to Cining Palace, and unconsciously, the corners of her mouth were smiling again.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Zhao has arrived."

"Xuan."

After returning from Cining Palace, Emperor Wen sent someone to summon Liu Yao, which is why Liu Yao was so anxious to walk on the street.

Liu Yao walked into the inner room, and Shi Shiran said: "Erchen has seen his father. ”

Emperor Wen raised his head from the fold, took a sip of the tea in his hand, and said slowly: "Yao'er, come, sit." ”

"I wonder what my father is looking for me?" Although Liu Yao already had an idea in his heart, he was unwilling to say it first.

"It's for that matter in the south, I want to hear Yao'er's opinion." Emperor Wen also knew a little about this son, and knew that he was used to playing Tai Chi, so he went straight in.

Liu Yao suddenly smiled and said, "Didn't my father want to send me, a landlubber, to fight a water fight?" ”

"It's not impossible...... Emperor Wen was also amused, and for a while, the atmosphere in the imperial study was not as dull as it was just now.

Liu Yao saw that the atmosphere was a little better, so he opened his mouth to get down to business, and said slowly: "Today, the ministers have proposed many candidates, if the ministers are present, the sons will recommend Zhao Xu, the prince of Pingnan." After all, there are still Xie Da, Peng Xu and other generals under the command of King Pingnan, if you rashly appoint other candidates, and those generals will have to run in, and you are afraid that something will happen in the middle, the southern battlefield has been delayed for a long time, and the people will be at peace if it ends early. ”

Emperor Wen was silent.

Liu Yao continued: "But Erchen is a little worried in his heart, if Zhao Xu is sent to the battle, no one can predict what will happen on the battlefield, and Zhao Xu is an only son, not only afraid that the hero's family will be extinct, but also worried that the imperial grandmother will not be able to stand this stimulation. ”

Emperor Wen continued not to speak, calm as water.

"Come to think of it, it's another dilemma." Liu Yao finally concluded.

Emperor Wen looked up at Liu Yao and said calmly: "Finished?" ”

Liu Yao nodded.

Emperor Wen smiled slightly and said, "Finally, give me an idea." If you can't think of it in a stick of incense, I'll let you landlubbers lead the troops to fight in a water fight! ”

Liu Yao shrugged helplessly and said with a smile: "Isn't this making things difficult for your sons...... Actually, father, you have already made a decision, haven't you? ”

"Little Dezi, light incense." Emperor Wen ignored Liu Yao and commanded directly.

Liu Yao sighed and said: "The minister here came up with an idea casually, and the minister thought, why not let Zhao Xu get married first, and then go to the battlefield after marriage, so that he can give the Zhao family an explanation, as for the inheritance of the heir, it depends on the number of days." Or, it is not impossible to directly let Zhao Xu go to the battlefield, the sons of the Zhao family have never been a bad breed. ”

When Emperor Wen heard this, he frowned slightly, and then asked, "Giving marriage is not a good idea." ”

Liu Yao continued along the topic of Emperor Wen: "If you really want to give marriage...... It's better to ask the imperial grandmother to come and get an idea, and see which family's daughter is the best. ”

"Hmm." Emperor Wen nodded approvingly.

Liu Yao couldn't help but think of the figure with a warm smile in the autumn of that year, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.

Luo Pianqi, is your fate really entangled with your childhood sweetheart?

……

"So the emperor means to let Xu'er marry a wife and concubine before going on the expedition?" The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Wen with a calm gaze, but her heart was full of thoughts.

Emperor Wen replied: "After all, Xu'er is the only descendant of King Pingnan, and if something happens, then I will be sorry for the heroic martyrs of that generation in Pingnan Palace." ”

"The mourners understand." The Queen Mother said: "But now that the draft is imminent, according to the rules, those ladies of the right age cannot be married." ”

"It's easy to do. The rules are set by people, and the queen mother can marry them. Emperor Wen drank the tea in his hand indifferently, in his eyes, the so-called draft was just to find a few women to stabilize the relationship between the previous dynasty, or to add a few more heirs to himself or the royal family.

So it's not a big deal to have one or two more or one or two less.
