In the fifteenth year of the Ming Dynasty, at the beginning of August, the emperor issued an edict to establish Zhao Qizhen, the prince of the emperor, as the crown prince, and awarded the treasure to the East Palace.

And Zhao Qirui, the eldest prince who had a high reputation before, was named King Rui, but he had no fief. All of a sudden, the situation between the DPRK and China underwent drastic changes.

"Lord Wang, your subordinates are incompetent!" Su Li knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Zhao Qirui was dressed in a lake blue brocade dress, with his hands behind his back, which was obviously a gentle and elegant dress, but it gave people a sense of indifference from thousands of miles away.

Su Li saw that his master did not respond, so he had to straighten his waist and remain motionless.

Zhao Qirui looked at the osmanthus tree in the courtyard through the windowsill, and turned around for a while.

"Du Chengye is suddenly like this, there must be a reason, check again!"

Su Li, quit the study, but was ashamed in his heart.

If it weren't for Du Chengye's sudden recommendation of Zhao Qizhen as the crown prince, his own master would be the most well-deserved candidate for the prince. After checking for so long, I haven't found the slightest evidence of collusion between the two.

Du Chengye is a person who is knowledgeable, honest and honest, and has won the sacred heart. If it weren't for this matter, Su Li felt that he was a good official who was upright, but now he couldn't wait to rush to his Shangshu Mansion with a knife.

Du Fu.

"Miss! Miss! Slave beg, come down quickly..."The maids of the Liuxin Courtyard hurriedly circled around the pomegranate tree by the courtyard wall.

Early this morning, after standing under the pomegranate tree and watching for a long time, the young lady ordered someone to carry the ladder.

Su Qing and Su Ling's personal maidservants vaguely guessed that it was probably related to the pomegranates hanging high on the branches.

The ladder was moved and leaned against the wall, and the little man waited for his young lady to give the order to pick pomegranates, as has been the case in previous years, and this year is no exception.

Who knows, Du Qinxin actually asked the little guy to retreat, Su Qing and Su Ling, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what Miss means.

I saw Du Qinxin look at the ladder and the wall, and then stare at the pomegranate on the branch, and then climb the ladder and climb up.

But the maids in the courtyard were stunned, and by the time Su Qing and the others reacted, Du Qinxin had already stepped on several bamboo stairs. Su Qing hurriedly went to the ladder, and her heart was pinched, but no matter how she persuaded Du Qin, her heart didn't come down, and Su Qing and Su Ling, who were in a hurry, were about to cry!

But the pomegranate tree is not an ordinary fruit tree, the branches and buds are all thorny, what if you are pricked! How would it be nice if such a high courtyard wall fell down!

Du Qinxin didn't think about this now, this pomegranate tree has been planted for five years, and a small sapling has grown into a big tree that is higher than the courtyard wall, but it is this fruit, which is extremely acidic. Du Qinxin always remembered that the person who gave her the pomegranate tree said that the fruit of this pomegranate was as sweet as honey, could it be that he would not maintain this fruit tree in previous years? This year, Miss Ben took care of it carefully, and she personally picked it from the tree, if it was still sour......

Du Qinxin, who climbed up the courtyard wall along the ladder, reached out to pick the big pomegranate nearby, and didn't pick it off for a long time.

Du Qinxin closed his eyes tightly, but the expected pain did not hit, he opened his eyes and found that he was caught by his brother, and shouted with a wink: "Brother! ”

Seeing his brother's gloomy face and ignoring himself, Du Qin got out of his brother's arms in a gloomy mood.

"Why are you so foolish!" Du Minglang thought that if he hadn't caught it, he would have fallen and injured himself.

The maid in the courtyard ran out crying, and when she saw that the young lady was fine, she cried even more fiercely.

Du Qinxin was speechless for a while, knowing that he had indeed made a mistake, and secretly gave a look at the little girls to signal them not to cry, Xu was frightened, and the tears of Su Qing and Su Ling were like beads with broken threads, and they fell vigorously.

"Brother, I know it's wrong......" Looking at his brother's dark face, Du Qin knew that his brother was really angry, and pulled his brother's sleeve to ask for forgiveness.

Du Minglang looked at his sister cat with big black eyes, he couldn't be fierce, he wanted to say a few words, but he couldn't say it. Annoyed in his heart, he flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.

Du Qinxin looked at his brother who never looked back no matter how much he shouted, pouted, and led the tearful maids back to the courtyard.

"Miss, you can scare the slave to death, let the lady know, you must be punished!" Su Qing still had palpitations, if it wasn't for the eldest young master catching the young lady, she would be afraid to think about it.

"Okay, okay, my young lady I know it's wrong, and it won't be in the future, so don't cry." Looking at the pomegranate in his hand that he almost exchanged for his life, he had long lost interest, but he was afraid that his mother would find out, and the female ring would be punished several times.

How did Du Qinxin know that the thing that made her even worse was coming soon.

In the palace.

"Aiqing, I know that Miss Du is the pearl of your palm, but my son is also the pride of the sky, you and I have been a monarch and a minister for more than ten years, and we are also close friends, and we will never treat your daughter badly!"

After retiring from the court, Du Chengye was called to the imperial study, thinking that it was because of the affairs of the court, but he thought that it was for his daughter's family affairs.

If it was replaced by other ministers, most of them were happy in their hearts and thanked Longen. At this time, Du Chengye only felt a cold sweat on his back.

"It is the honor of the little girl that the emperor values the little girl so much, but the little girl is stubborn, how can she be worthy of the wise king, please think twice!" Du Chengye risked disobeying the holy decree and wanted to resign from the marriage.

King Rui is cold-blooded and cruel, he is by no means a good match, even if it is a concubine, Du Chengye is 11 million unwilling to marry his daughter to this person.

Emperor Ming Yuan seemed to expect this, but he was not angry.

"I told you bluntly, the queen asked me to marry Miss Du and the crown prince, and it was Miss Xu Du's side concubine!" After Emperor Ming Yuan finished speaking, his eyes stared directly at Du Chengye.

When Du Chengye heard this, he felt like he was in a cold day!

Swept his clothes and knelt on his knees.

"Your Majesty, the little girl and her stubbornness are really not worthy of the prince and the wise king, please think twice!" After Du Chengye finished speaking, he kowtowed heavily.

Emperor Ming Yuan pondered for a moment.

"Aiqing get up quickly, I heard the queen say that Miss Du's talent and appearance are among the best in Beijing, isn't it because she is reluctant to marry a daughter, right?"

Emperor Ming Yuan helped Du Chengye to his feet.

"If Miss Du is really as Aiqing said, lively and active, then I think it is even more compatible with King Rui! King Rui has a cold temperament, and Miss Du is innocent. A good match! Du Qing is not going to resign. ”

The holy will has been decided, no matter how unwilling Du Chengye is, he can't, so he has to go home.
