"What does the county lord mean?" Emperor Xuan pondered slightly, raised his eyes to look at Liu Yao, and asked in a gentle tone.

Liu Yao's face turned pale, and he clenched his fists and said: "Marriage is a major event, and the words of the matchmaker are the orders of the parents......"

She was halfway through her words, then raised her eyes to look at Emperor Xuan and said, "The courtiers are unwilling." ”

Prince Gru was taken aback, and asked eagerly, "Why, is there something about me that does not satisfy you?"

"I have been practicing martial arts for many years, and I have sworn that my future husband must be able to beat me!" Liu Yao said, "I am willing to have a competition with the prince, if the prince can beat me, I will marry you! If I win, the prince will find another candidate for the princess!"

"This ......" Prince Gru hesitated, "what the county lord said is true, but I don't know martial arts, is there any other way?"

"I'm sorry, my Liu Yao's husband must be stronger than me!" Liu Yao said sonorously.

"County Lord, for the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries, our prince wants the Northern Xia Emperor to propose a marriage covenant, but for the sake of permanent peace between the two countries. A Gru envoy stood up and said dissatisfiedly, "Our prince doesn't know martial arts, is the county lord's request difficult for a strong man? Besides, in your Northern Xia, this marriage matter has always been decided by His Majesty the Emperor." ”

He clasped his fists towards Emperor Xuan and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, please allow this happy marriage." ”

"Hey. Prince Gru sighed, "If she doesn't really want to marry me, how can this be considered a happy marriage?" I know, if I want to marry the county lord, I only need a word from His Majesty the Emperor, but I don't want to see a helpless look on the county lord's face, I will impress you with my sincerity, let you marry me willingly, follow me to the Gru tribe, and be my princess!"

"Since the prince said so, then this is a matter between you young people, and I don't have to interfere. Emperor Zhou smiled faintly, "Let's all sit down, let's continue to drink." ”

Liu Yao's face did not improve because of this, she glanced coldly at Princess Changle beside her: "Are you satisfied now?"

"How did I know that Prince Gru would be killed suddenly?" Changle said innocently, "The events of the night really weren't arranged by me, everything was an accident. Besides, this prince is quite handsome, and it won't be a bad thing for you to get in touch with him!"

"If you have a crush on him, you can marry him yourself. ”

Changle stuck out his tongue: "But people have taken a fancy to you, but not me!"

Mo Ziyu also breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glanced at Liu Yao, and was thinking about whether to tell her her current identity, would she be scared?

Forget it, she should have her own life and shouldn't be involved.

Liu Xu gave Mo Ziyu a chopstick dish, and asked in a low voice: "Lord Liu Yao was proposed, why are you more nervous than her?"

"Is there one?" Mo Ziyu's eyes rolled, "When I encounter such a thing, I feel a little novel in my heart." Being able to say what they like and dislike, there are a few women who have such courage and feel admiration in their hearts. ”

"You're not far behind. ”

Mo Ziyu and Liu Xu spoke softly, and Liu Ling on the side was drinking alone.

If he hands over Fleur, he is reluctant, no matter what, he has to protect it, if he doesn't hand it over, he will inevitably offend many people, and now the second brother's power is thriving, if he makes such a fuss again, it will be worse for himself.

Before the banquet was over, Concubine Yun Guifei excused herself with a headache and retired first. Liu Ling knew what his mother meant, and then followed in frustration.

In the palace, Concubine Yun Guifei sat down with a gloomy face and asked coldly, "What are you going to do with that slut in Fuhui?"

"She didn't mean it, she just freaked out. Liu Ling thought for a while and said, "Besides, those people had an accident because of those thieves, and Fu Yuan is not the culprit, why are you holding her?"

"Such courage, such a person, such a mind, do you think she is suitable to be your princess? But now her background is not of much help to you, and her character has also held you back, as soon as last night's incident came out, how many of the nobles in the capital were willing to associate with her? Do you want to betray your relatives for the sake of such a woman? The most important thing at the moment is to hand over this woman who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures to let them deal with it!" Yun Guifei said in a cold voice.

"Mother...... No matter what, he is his son's woman, and his son will never give her over!"

"Then what about the position of the crown prince? Don't want it? If you insist on going your own way again, what else will this palace plan for you? Give up the position of the crown prince as soon as possible!" Yun Guifei sneered angrily.

"Mother!" Liu Ling knelt down, "Ask Mother Concubine to save Fuyuan, no matter what, she is her son's life-saving benefactor." ”

"My stupid son, several thieves have scared her so much that she doesn't even have a basic conscience, do you think she may risk her life to save you under the sword light and sword shadow at that time?" Yun Guifei smiled sarcastically, "You are really lustful, you are really a good son of this palace!"

Liu Ling was silent.

Yun Guifei continued: "It's not necessary to leave that slut alive. ”

"Please give me advice. ”

"Married Shangguan Yu'er. Yun Guifei said, "The old prime minister of Shangguan is full of peach and plum all over the world, and his prestige is very high, and the officials in the capital all give him face." Shangguan Yu'er is also well-known, you have been affected by that slut now, only by relying on the Shangguan family to turn things around, you must not be willing to let your second brother have the upper hand, right?"

"Yes!" Liu Ling thought for a moment and replied helplessly.

The concubine's face was happy: "You can be regarded as accepting this marriage?"

"It's all up to the concubine!"

"Okay!" Yun Guifei said with a smile, "This is the son of this palace! This palace reminds you, this Shangguan Yu'er can no longer be like Mo Ziyu, you have to treat her well, and don't let her be wronged! Your second brother has gained a lot of cheapness because of the help of the You family before, and those literati's pens are more powerful than knives! Now that the You family has been driven out of the capital, the prime minister's protégé is not weak, so let your second brother taste what is called verbal criticism!"

"Yes. ”

"One more point. Those thieves last night must have been instructed by someone, your second brother took the lead in leading people to rescue him first, which has already made many courtiers owe him a favor, what you have to do is to find out the main messenger behind this scene before your second brother and give them an explanation!"

"The son remembered, the son is doing this. ”

"Go ahead. ”
