The time for King Anqing and the emperor to agree to hand over portraits has arrived, and this day will elect Princess Anqing, King Anqing is the head of all vassal kings, although he has become stupid now, but Long Ziqi did not dare to slack off, and let the courtiers wait for the results of Shen Tianao's election on the side.

Many courtiers were afraid of this day, for fear that their daughters would marry this stupid prince, and several ministers took sick leave to go home to recuperate, but they didn't want to see this scene.

Shen Tianao looked stupid, holding a folded portrait in his hand, he walked in front of everyone with a smile, everyone's eyes were focused on his portrait, whose woman would be chosen, everyone was looking forward to not being their own daughter or their own sister.

The palace people took the portrait in his hand and presented it to the emperor, Long Ziqi slowly opened the portrait, the beauty on the portrait was lifelike, he felt very familiar with that appearance and posture, Long Ziqi's hand holding the portrait trembled slightly, isn't this Gu Qingcheng? How could her portrait be in Shen Tianao's hands.

Long Yuting noticed Long Ziqi's abnormality, he took a few steps forward, and his gaze moved to the portrait, wasn't that the portrait of Gu Qingcheng? Not long ago, he asked the painter to paint the Danqing for Allure, which was supposed to be sent to the palace in the next few days, how could he be there with Shen Tianao at this time.

A heavy hammer smashed into Long Yuting's heart, his heartbeat almost slowed down, he took the portrait from Long Ziqi's hand, tore it in half, he looked at Shen Tianao coldly and said, "This portrait doesn't count, please re-elect the princess of King Anqing." ”

The ministers were ignorant, completely unaware of what was happening, and they made the regent so angry, they raised their heads nervously, wanted to speak but did not dare to speak, and one by one they stood in place.

The silence in the hall was terrifying, and suddenly Shen Tianao laughed a few times, he picked up the painting that was torn into two pieces on the ground, and danced with his hands, like a child who had obtained a treasure.

"She's mine, I like it, I like it."

He kissed the person in the portrait, which looked very funny, and the ministers and vassal kings looked at the portrait, and when they saw the person in the portrait, everyone was silent, and they all gasped.

It's not good to choose anyone, but choose the woman the regent likes, and the regent is about to marry Gu Qingcheng, so it's strange not to anger the regent.

Steward Chen took a few steps forward, knelt on the ground and pleaded: "Your Majesty, it was you who personally promised that day, whoever the king of Anqing chose for the portrait would be Prince An's princess. ”

"Hmph." Long Yuting sneered, he glared at Steward Chen fiercely, and that look was eager to eat him alive, "It's a very good one, don't you know that Gu Qingcheng is the regent princess of this king?" How could she marry the prince of your family, it's ridiculous. ”

Steward Chen continued to kowtow on the ground, with a pitiful expression: "Your Majesty, I beg you to have mercy on my prince, although my prince is now a stupid person, but as soon as your golden mouth opens, how can there be a reason to take it back, Your Majesty, you can't treat my prince like this." ”

Hearing his words, Long Ziqi's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but regret what he said, he knew that he should have chosen one of the nobles to be the princess of King Anqing, and now he has pulled the future imperial uncle in, how can this be good.

Long Ziqi coughed lightly and said, "I did say this, but Gu Qingcheng is indeed not a good candidate, so let's change another one." ”

After listening to the emperor's words, the ministers began to break out in a cold sweat again, and everyone was relieved to see that the person chosen by King Anqing was Gu Qingcheng, but as soon as the emperor said that he would re-elect the princess, everyone began to feel uneasy again, looking forward to this kind of "good thing" Don't take the turn of their daughter.

Shen Tianao took the portrait and became even more unscrupulous, as if Gu Tingcheng was his property, Long Yuting saw this, his right hand was clenched, and the green tendons on the back of his hand were exposed, if he hadn't seen that Shen Tianao was a fool, he really wanted to rush up and beat him hard, Gu Tiancheng was his princess, where could others covet it.

"Let's disperse today, and we'll discuss this matter later." Long Ziqi got up and said to everyone, things have become the current situation, so that he, the emperor, can hardly get off the stage, he looked at Long Yuting, and the emperor's face looked very bad.

After Shen Tianao and the courtiers dispersed, the uncle and nephew began to discuss, and Long Ziqi said: "Uncle Huang, I will definitely not let the girl from Allure marry Shen Tianao's fool, don't worry." ”

Long Yuting frowned, his clenched fist let go slightly, and he said suspiciously: "Your Majesty, I doubt the authenticity of Shen Tianao's madness, maybe he just did it for us, otherwise how could the portrait of Allure run into his hands, this matter looks like a trap, waiting for us to jump inside." ”

The more Long Ziqi listened, the more frightened he felt, and a chill came out of his spine, if Shen Tianao was really pretending to be crazy, it would be terrible for so long, he must have been premeditated, pretending to be crazy and stupid must be to cover up something.

"Uncle Huang, what should we do?" He asked nervously.

Long Yuting's hand was on Long Ziqi's shoulder: "This matter can't be known to Allure, let's drag it out for the time being, let's choose another princess for King Anqing." ”

"Whatever Uncle Huang says, I will do." Long Ziqi agreed.

When Long Yuting returned to the palace, it was already late, and as soon as he got out of the carriage, he saw Gu Tingcheng standing at the door waiting for him, her smile was still so warm, so clean, and there was no impurity.

"Lord Wang." She called him softly, took his hand and said, "I specially asked the stove to cook a few more good dishes tonight, and I have good news to tell the prince." ”

"Allure." Long Yuting's heart was suddenly stuffed, holding her hand couldn't help but force a little, he was almost about to lose her, that kind of loss made him feel very terrible, like a piece of his heart was ripped off alive.

Gu Qingcheng turned his head to look at Long Yuting, he seemed to be a little wrong tonight, she thought that maybe he had encountered something tricky in the court, maybe it was those vassal kings who angered him again, she patted his hand and comforted: "Since the prince has returned to the palace, don't think about those troubles." ”

Long Yuting glanced at her deeply, Gu Tingcheng standing in the hazy light was still so beautiful, her body was surrounded by warm candlelight, it looked so ethereal and illusory, as if she was in a dream.

His chest began to rise and fall, and his emotions began to get out of control, he suddenly hugged her in his arms, and called her name one after another: "Allure, Allure, don't leave me." ”

Gu Qingcheng was blankly encircled by him, she didn't understand the meaning of Long Yuting's words, thinking that he was aware of what he had crossed, but in modern times, she was dead, and it was impossible to return to modern times, she could only stay in Beichen and stay by Long Yuting's side.

She wrapped her arms around Long Yuting's waist and said, "Lord Wang, I won't leave you." ”
