~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Comrade Li Er paused and said: "Wang family boy, I see that you are a good learner, and now you have achieved a little success, and you also have a lot of credit to the imperial court, today I named you a man in Jingyang County, with a land of 1,000 acres, a reward of 100 stones, 30 catties of gold and silver, and 50 horses of silk. ”

Wang Ke was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that there was no reason for this, why did he knight me again? No matter what, thank you first, I also have a thousand acres of land, the landlord! Hurriedly knelt down and thanked him.

As soon as I stood up, I heard Comrade Li Er say again: "My princess Shu, named Lanling, is fifteen years old this year, and it is time to get married. ”

All the ministers congratulated Wang Si and Wang Ke one after another, and Wang Si was so happy that he didn't know why, and hurriedly knelt down to Comrade Li Er to thank him. Wang Ke was stunned, standing there motionless.

When Wang Si saw Wang Ke like this, he thought that this kid was stupid, so he hurriedly pulled Wang Ke and whispered: "Ke'er, don't hurry up and kneel down to thank you." ”

Comrade Li Er also sat there with a smile, waiting for Wang Ke to thank him, and deliberately teased: "You are afraid that Lanling is too young and afraid of damaging her body, then you want to help me raise it, anyway, I won't raise it, so I'll leave it to you." After saying that, he laughed with the ministers.

Wang Ke was pulled by Wang Siyi, and Comrade Li Er's words came to his senses.

Wang Ke gritted his teeth, knelt down, and said with a serious face: "The emperor's favor for the minister, although the minister dies, it is unforgettable. But the emperor's edict, but the ministers never dared to accept it! ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers lost their color, and Comrade Li Er was furious.

His face was cold, and he said with a cold light in his eyes: "What, my princess is not worthy of you?" ”

Wang Ke twisted his neck and said: "The princess's golden body, how can she not be worthy of the courtier." It's just that the minister's heart belongs, and I hope that the emperor will fulfill it! ”

Wang Ke can't care so much now, he knows that as long as he is grateful, even if he agrees to this marriage, then Nanping really has no hope at all.

Because Nanping's identity is different, if it is just a widow from an ordinary family, there is no problem when he wants to marry him, and he can arrange his wife and concubine. But Nanping is a princess, once she and Lanling get married, then Nanping will never want to enter the Wang's house. All his previous efforts will be in vain, and the little good impression that Nanping has just established will disappear in a blink of an eye and dissipate with the wind.

Comrade Li Er held back the anger in his heart and said coldly: "I want to see whose daughter is today, who can compare to my princess in the Tang Dynasty." Say, who is it? ”

Wang Ke saw that Comrade Li Er was so pressed, and knew that he had murderous intent, if he couldn't say that he was ugly today, he would definitely not be able to get out of this imperial study. Wang Si has never heard Wang Ke talk about this matter, and now that this matter suddenly happened, he was also so anxious, from ancient times to the present, he has never seen anyone who dares to resist the decree and not marry the princess.

Qiaoqiao stepped forward and whispered to Wang Ke: "Ke'er, the emperor values you, so he married the princess." Promise to come down, who do you like, and after the princess passes through the door, isn't it the same that you marry a concubine? ”

Wang Ke smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, this person can't be a concubine, he must be a wife." Therefore, the child would rather die than dare to obey the edict, and this is why. ”

When Comrade Li Er saw the two fathers and sons talking in a low voice, his heart was on fire, and his hand slapped the imperial case, and said loudly: "Boy from the Wang family, who is it!" After speaking, he said to Wang Si: "Wang Qing, you stand aside, I want to see who it is, so that your kid will not even marry a princess." ”

Wang Si had no choice but to stand aside and look at Wang Ke anxiously.

Wang Ke looked at Wang Si, turned his head to look at Comrade Li Er and said: "Your Majesty, don't hide it, the minister returned to the Tang Dynasty, and when he saw this woman for the first time, the minister made up his mind to marry him." Just because of her special status, the minister didn't even dare to say anything about his father and mother, he just wanted to wait for the time to be ripe, and then invite the second elder to propose marriage. ”

"Special status?" Comrade Li Er was shocked by Wang Ke's words.

If you want to say that the identity is special, for these eunuchs, there are no more than two kinds of people, one is the royal princess; The other is the Qinglou woman.

But he doesn't marry a princess, isn't he a Qinglou woman? But if the Qinglou woman wants to marry home, it is also a very simple matter, just spend money to redeem him and buy him back, and there is no need to do anything to resist the decree and not marry the princess!

Comrade Li Er was really confused by Wang Ke, and he forgot to get angry, and asked, "What kind of identity, is it so special?" As he spoke, he also looked at Wang Si.

Wang Si was also very puzzled, during the time his son came back, he hadn't heard that he had visited the Qinglou, and he only spent most of his time with Li Ke when he went out to play. The women I saw were all relatives of the emperor, and there was no one else. At this time, when he saw Comrade Li Er looking at him, he hurriedly shook his head and said that he really didn't know.

Wang Ke said so much, but he never said Nanping, in fact, he didn't know what the consequences would be after saying Nanping. He knew that in the Tang Dynasty, especially in the early Tang Dynasty, it was still very civilized, and he did not attach as much importance to women's remarriage as he did in the later Song Dynasty. Several of Comrade Li Er's daughters remarried after their husband's death, but it was Comrade Li Er's decision, and now that he said this matter by himself, he was really afraid that if he said it, it would be unfavorable to Nanping.

Just when Wang Ke was in a dilemma, after seeing Fang Xuanling and Wang Si talking a few words in each other's ears, Fang Xuanling walked up to Comrade Li Er and said a few words in Comrade Li Er's ear.

After listening to this, Comrade Li Er said: "Boy of the Wang family, what I said today will not change. I'll give you two days to think about it, and you'd better come up with a foolproof plan, or I'll kill someone. After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

The ministers didn't expect that it would end up like this, and they didn't know what to say, but when they saw that Comrade Li Er was gone, they all quickly stood up and walked out, leaving this place one after another.

Wang Si pulled up Wang Ke, who was still kneeling on the ground, sighed and walked out.

Wang Kemulan drove back home, and when he got out of the car, he was pulled into the study by Wang Si. When the people in the house saw the old man and the young master coming back, their faces were not good-looking, and they didn't even dare to send tea inside. Seeing this, Mrs. Wang asked Wang Ke's two aunts and Dong Yue to go back to their house first, and personally brought tea into the study.

In the study, Wang Ke sat there with his head drooping, Wang Si walked back and forth in front of him with his hands behind his back, and neither of them spoke.

Mrs. Wang put down the tea, grabbed Wang Si, who kept moving, and asked, "Master, what happened?" Can you tell the concubine to listen? ”

Wang Si sighed and told her what had happened, and Mrs. Wang listened with a mixture of joy and sorrow. The joy is that the emperor actually promoted Wang Ke to marry the princess to him; The sad thing is that Wang Ke, a stinky boy, dared to resist the decree and not marry the princess.

Wang Si walked for a while, finally stopped, stared at Wang Ke and asked, "Ke'er, now at home, you can tell your father and your mother who that woman is." ”

Wang Ke knew that he had to say it sooner or later, and now if he said it at home, he could let Wang Si and Mrs. Wang sum it up for themselves. So he said: "The child has never mentioned this matter to his father and mother, just because the child thinks that it is not yet time, and he still hopes that his father and mother are not strange here!" ”

Wang Si couldn't help but be a little angry: "Just say, who is this person." It's come to this, what can I do now to blame you! The key is how the emperor should explain. ”

Wang Ke then remembered that it was useless to say anything now, and at this time, it was the right way to simply say it directly.

Raising his head, he said, "The woman the child likes is Princess Nanping." ”

"Princess Nanping!" Wang Si and his wife both exclaimed.

They never thought that their son resisted the decree for a long time and almost couldn't get out of the imperial study, it turned out that he was just to marry another daughter of the emperor.

Wang Si also immediately understood the meaning of the special identity that Wang Ke said in the imperial study.

Now Wang Si also felt a little tricky, Comrade Li Er said very much, he must marry Lanling to Wang Ke. The emperor is Chrysostom and will never change it, so that Nanping will not have the opportunity to marry into the Wang family (Wang Si did not consider Nanping's widowhood at all, in that era, it was normal for widows to remarry), because the royal family would not agree to two princesses marrying the same person from the same family at the same time.

But now it seems that Wang Ke will not agree if he does not marry Nanping. It's really a dilemma. The only good thing is that Wang Ke's head will not fall off this time, after all, there are princesses on both sides, and Comrade Li Er will not cut off Wang Ke's head with favoritism.

Wang Si was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do, Wang Ke suddenly asked, "Dad, what did Master Fang say to you in the imperial study just now?" ”

"Oh, Lord Fang asked Father, who do you go with on weekdays and who do you associate with. As a father, I told him that you are the best with the Third Highness on weekdays, and you usually only play with Your Highness, the princess, and the colt. ”

Wang Si saw that Wang Ke suddenly asked about this, and hurriedly said what he and Fang Xuanling said. Then he asked, "What, what's wrong with this?" ”

Wang Ke shook his head and said: "It's okay, the child is thinking about what Lord Fang will say to the emperor after talking to his father, so the emperor didn't kill the child's head immediately, but asked the child to think about it." ”

After saying that, he stood up and walked around the study. Wang Si's father looked at Wang Ke. I don't know what he thought, and I don't know how to ask him, so I just sat on the chair and looked at Wang Ke who was spinning around without saying a word.

Suddenly, Wang Ke stopped, turned around and said loudly: "I know, now it's up to the emperor to do something." Haha, it's time for the emperor to be embarrassed. ”

Looking at Wang Ke who was dancing, Wang Si asked curiously: "Ke'er, tell me what's going on, why do you want to see the emperor now?" ”

Wang Ke's eyebrows fluttered and said: "After Lord Fang and his father finished speaking, he must have told the emperor that he would let the child go first today, and spend two days to ask who the child was interacting with, and find out who the woman the child fell in love with from these people." ”

Wang Ke grabbed the teacup on the table, drank it in one gulp, put it down, and continued: "Among these people, the best of the children are the Third Highness Ke and the Cheng family's concubine Cheng Huailiang, the emperor will definitely invite the Third Highness into the palace to inquire." His Royal Highness knew about me, and he would not dare to hide it in front of the emperor. Haha, they're all princesses, what do I think the emperor should do? It's not that I don't marry a princess anymore, but that the emperor is married to a non-human. ”

Wang Si couldn't help laughing when he heard Wang Ke's analysis, but after laughing, he said worriedly: "But the emperor said today in front of so many ministers that he wanted to marry Princess Lanling to you, and in the end, he said so resolutely, he will never change, how is this golden mouth?" ”

Wang Ke was reminded by this, and his mood just getting better sank.

After a long time, he said with a gloomy expression: "Look, I think it is estimated that the Third Highness will come to our house tomorrow night." When the time comes, ask the Third Highness what the situation is, and then make plans. If this is still the case, the child can only fight the risk of being killed. I can't be sorry for Princess Nanping! ”
