The phoenix-patterned brocade red robe, with a beaded curtain covering her face, is not as flamboyant as the bridal makeup on the main hall on the day she first arrived, but it is not much different. With a slender waist and a steady pace, the woman's figure was nine points similar to hers! She...... It's not Ling'er! Man Yao was shocked in his heart, and then saw that Xiao Xu, who was following the woman, had returned to his original appearance, he looked at Man Yao, with some worry and helplessness in his eyes.

The woman in red sat down, and the eyes of the noble children in the hall all looked over and whispered.

A man said with contempt and contempt: "Why do you still have a beaded curtain, you must be too ugly to see people!" ”

Another man shook his head and sighed: "Look at her good figure, it's a pity!" ”

Another man probed and said with an exaggerated expression: "Who do you think she will choose?" But don't choose me, or you'll have to be blindfolded when you go to the cave......"

"Hahaha......" Before the emperor arrived, they were so unscrupulous to laugh at the rumored ugly Princess Rongle. The woman in red glanced sideways at the man who was sitting upright, and gave her a sharp cold gaze, and the woman in red was shocked, and immediately lowered her head.

From the moment the woman in red stepped into the main hall, Manyao's heart sank again and again, she could even predict what would happen next, but she was powerless to stop it. She turned her head slowly, looking at Zong Zheng's carefree and perfect face, he always had such an indifferent and cold expression, as if no one or anything in the world could enter his heart. She lowered her eyes slightly, and asked casually, "Why do you refuse to marry Princess Rongle?" Is it also because of rumors that she is ugly? Her voice was so soft and so soft that she almost thought he wouldn't hear it.

Zong Zheng Wuwu never glanced at the woman in red from beginning to end, he took a sip of tea, turned his eyes to look at her, and slowly spit out three words: "I don't like it." ”

He said, "I don't like it!" Hooked his lips and laughed at himself. What don't you like? Don't like to have your fate in the hands of others; I don't like my marriage to be used as a bargaining chip for political peace; Don't like to live with someone you don't love for the rest of your life......

He didn't like it, and neither did she! But the difference is that if he doesn't like it, he can refuse, but she has no choice! Isn't it enough to be used to calculate and lose your life in your previous life? When you come to this strange world, you still can't escape the fate of becoming a pawn in the hands of others! Her eyes darkened, and her heart was desolate. "No worries, if ...... I said if, if I were the eldest princess of Rongle, you would ......" She paused and looked fixedly into his eyes, the corners of her mouth curled up, as if she were joking.

Zong Zheng smiled without worrying: "If you are the eldest princess of Rongle, I will admire your scheming and methods very much. ”

Manyao's heart was shocked, she had forgotten that she had asked him for six months in the main hall, and she was so sure that she would let him marry her willingly. If she is Rong Le in front of him, then she is deliberately approaching him with scheming, in order to achieve the goal of marrying into the palace. How could someone as proud as him let such a thing happen! She suddenly raised her lips and laughed silently, smiling extremely brightly, bright as spring, hiding all the irony and sadness in the corners of her lips and eyes full of laughter, turning into boundless bitterness that spread to every corner of her heart.

Such a bright smile, he still saw it again, it looked beautiful, but this smile gave him the feeling that it was too deliberate, as if it was just to hide something, and there was no real pleasure in his heart. He frowned slightly, but his voice was extremely gentle, and he said softly: "Aman, don't laugh like this." I don't like it! ”

He smiled, returned to his usual indifferent expression, and said in a gentle tone of sadness: "In life, not everything will be liked by you, and some things, no matter how much you don't like them, try to accept them." Worry-free, life ...... It's still a long time! "Life will not always be as he wants, his father will leave him one day, if he wants to fulfill his promise for his mother and refuse to inherit the throne, then after the crown prince succeeds to the throne, will his life still be as happy as it is?

Zong Zheng was stunned, she had always been quiet and introverted, but at this moment, he clearly felt the sadness in her heart, although her face looked so calm and calm. Life is still very long, and if you don't like it, you have to try to accept it, so why doesn't he know!

"Your Majesty has arrived—"

With the shouting of the inner attendant, everyone knelt on the ground and saluted, but only Zongzheng was still seated. Since Emperor Lin entered the palace, his eyes have been falling on Zongzheng Wuwu, and there is no blame in his eyes. "The Qing family is free of courtesy! Tonight, the monarch and the ministers will have fun together, and there is no need to be formal. Sit down. ”

Everyone thanked them and got up and sat down. Fu Chip sat diagonally opposite Manxiao, as long as she looked up, she could always see him smiling. After the lengthy opening chapter, Emperor Lin said: "The Beiyi barbarians have been harassing my border all the year round, and the people are miserable. I once said that whoever can get rid of this piece of my heart disease, I will definitely be rewarded heavily. And the Qing family really didn't disappoint me! I have canonized Fu Aiqing as the 'General of Patriotism', enjoying the treatment of princes, and now give the Seven Emperors a thousand miles of land south of the Yangtze River, which is under independent jurisdiction, and all matters of the size of the fief do not need to be reported to the imperial court, and can be disposed of by themselves. Don't worry, you can still live in the capital. ”

Wouldn't giving thousands of miles of land and governing it independently be equivalent to dividing up a small court? The ministers were in an uproar, the prince's face changed in shock, and he glanced at the criminal department: "Your Majesty, although the king has a merit in retreating from the enemy, he has given thousands of miles of land, and there has never been such a precedent in our dynasty, I am afraid it will ......"

Emperor Lin's face sank, his eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep tone: "There is a precedent, someone has to open it." I talk about meritorious deeds today, if I don't give thousands of miles of land, I really can't think of other suitable rewards, Fu Aiqing was named the general of the country, more than three levels higher than the original, but above the seven emperors, except for me, only the crown prince remains...... The crown prince has been canonized for many years, although he has not made any achievements, but he has not committed major mistakes, you Aiqing always don't want me to abolish the crown prince in order to reward the seven emperors, right? Unless...... Yu Aiqing knows what the prince has done recently, so he thinks he is no longer worthy of being the prince? ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers who wanted to follow the advice immediately quieted down. Lord Yu was horrified in his heart, hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "The minister has no such intention, no such intention!" The prince has always been filial piety and courtesy, and he is actually the best candidate for the prince of our country. ”

Emperor Lin glanced at the crown prince who was bowing his head with an unpredictable expression, and Fang said slowly: "Since this is the case, then this matter is decided." Yu Aiqing returned to her position. The prince finally breathed a sigh of relief, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and the hand held under the table was still trembling.

Zong Zheng Wuwu did not thank him, but instead hooked the corners of his lips with a smile, and a trace of deep hatred crossed his eyes, which was fleeting. Thousands of miles of fiefdom, give him fame, fortune and power, can you exchange for the peace of mind of the high emperor?

Emperor Lin received Zongzheng's carefree gaze, his eyes darkened, and he instantly gathered his thoughts, turned to the woman in red below, and asked, "Why is the princess wearing a beaded curtain to attend?" ”

Hearing this, the woman in red got up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is the custom of our Qiyun Kingdom, when a woman gets married, she must not let outsiders see her face before she goes to the chapel. ”

The sound is elegant, like a heavenly sound. She was stunned, even her voice was so similar to her, if it weren't for herself, she would really think that this person was the real Princess Rongle! Brother Huang, he is really good at picking people!

Emperor Lin nodded in understanding, and said: "More than two months ago, I promised you half a year, but early this morning, I received the letter of Qiyun Kingdom, and Emperor Qiyun also hopes that the matter of harmony will be settled as soon as possible. ”

The woman in red said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, and it is all strange that Rong Le is not thoughtful. ”

Emperor Lin smiled and said, "The princess is so reasonable, she can be called a model of a woman. With that, he raised his hand and signaled that she was ready to start. The woman in red curtsied, turned around, and slowly walked around the hall, everywhere she went, those noble children all bowed their heads, for fear that they would be chosen. Only Fu Chip drank a cup of tea casually, his movements were natural and chic, as if he was not waiting for others to choose, but he was picking others.

The woman in red walked to Fu Chip's table and stopped, squatted down, held a delicate porcelain pot in her hand, poured a cup of tea for Fu Chip's empty cup, picked up the teacup with her slender jade fingers, lowered her head and handed it over with a light smile. Anyone can understand what this means.

Sure enough, it was him! It is also a matter of course to give up the most favored Emperor Liwang and choose the general who is in military power, but the imperial brother should not use stratagem to force her into a situation where she has no choice! No wonder she didn't receive any news, because the royal brother didn't want her to know at all. This is the royal brother who gives her thousands of favors in everyone's mouth, but she is just a pawn in politics! Similar body shape, the same voice, rare among ten thousand people, not to be found overnight. Brother Huang, Brother Huang, is this how he wants her to be happy?

Those noble children breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and one by one raised their heads, straightened their waists, and sat idly and laughed to see what this young man who was chosen by the ugly princess would do? If a general who holds a position of military power than a prince is happy to marry a foreign princess with an ugly face, he must want to use this to consolidate his power and have obvious ambitions. But the princess was ordered by His Majesty to choose her husband, and if he was not happy to be chosen, he would be dissatisfied with His Majesty.

Fu Chip's handsome face still looked gentle, and he didn't seem to be happy, nor unhappy, whether it was from his eyes or facial expressions, he couldn't see any emotion at all. He slowly raised his eyes, his gaze passed over the woman in red, and fell on the opposite manyao. I saw her sit quietly with her eyes down, and a faint sense of mockery flowed on her beautiful face. Her gaze also came, and her clear eyes concealed a little sadness and irritation.

The woman in red's hand stopped in mid-air like that, unable to lift or let go. Fu Chip was still sitting motionless, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense and awkward. Everyone's eyes were focused on Fu Chip's body, and secretly said, could it be that he also wants to learn to divorce the king and refuse to marry? Although he has made great achievements, it is still a great crime to disobey His Majesty's will! In this world, there is no one who can resist the decree without being sinned, except for the king!

Emperor Lin had lost his patience, and his face sank, and he coughed lightly, with a warning in his eyes. Fu Chip seemed to come back to his senses, paused, lowered his eyes and raised his eyes again, a gentle smile floated to the corner of his lips, he stood up, bowed to the woman in red to apologize, and then took the cup, helped the woman, and said with a polite smile: "Princess Lao personally poured tea for the general, the general was really flattered, only to lose his mind for a while, and I hope that the princess will contain a large amount!" ”

The woman in red spoke shyly and said, "The general's words are serious, please!" ”

Fu Chip raised his glass to his lips, his movements were extremely slow, and he glanced at Zongzheng without a trace, and then with an extremely gentle smile, he looked at the man on the other side, and watched her slowly drink the cup of tea that meant that he accepted the choice of the eldest princess Rongle.

Manyao's lips were pursed, and at this moment, Fu Chip's inky black eyes were like a gentle whirlpool, absorbing her gaze, making her unable to turn or move. And his simple action has been destined for her life since then. The man who was nominally about to become her husband, with his handsome appearance, gentle aristocratic temperament, prominent status, and understanding, had twice rescued her from danger, and all this seemed so beautiful. If there was no design of the imperial brother, and there was no worry-free relationship with Zongzheng in the palace in the past few days, maybe he would be a good candidate for a husband. Suddenly, her heart couldn't help jumping, her eyelashes drooped quickly, and there was some panic in her heart, why did she think of Zongzheng worry-free? For a while, she didn't dare to think deeply about the reason she was most unwilling to face, and the situation in front of her no longer allowed her to think about it anymore, Man Yao slowly raised her eyes again, looked at Fu Chip opposite, and couldn't help but feel a little angry in her heart, she hated this feeling of being manipulated by others, very annoying!

Zong Zheng Wuwu saw that Fu Chip looked at the woman beside him with such gentle eyes, and looked at Fu Chip's eyes with anger and loss that could not be concealed, he couldn't help frowning, narrowed his phoenix eyes, and suddenly felt a sense of boredom in his heart, and suddenly grabbed the slender fingers she placed on his knees, and his hands unconsciously clenched tighter. Looks like he needs to speed things up!

The pain in her hand came, and she frowned and turned her head, but there was obvious anger in Zongzheng's always cold and indifferent eyes, she was a little surprised, and pulled her hand back vigorously. Zong Zheng Wuwu realized his actions, and his heart was shocked, he inexplicably gave birth to emotions that he shouldn't have!

In the main hall, the woman in red raised her lips and smiled, bowed to the emperor, and returned to her seat with her head bowed as if she was shy.

Emperor Lin was in a good mood when he saw that the matter of peace had been decided, and said with a smile: "Okay, Gong Chen announced my will." ”

"General Wei obeys! Fengtian transported, the emperor said, the general Fu Chip ......"

Quietly watching this good drama directed by others but related to the happiness of her life, she laughed very ironically. Can't she escape the fiddling of fate after all? When Gonggong Chen finished reading the last sentence of the holy decree, "choose three days to get married", her smile became even more cold. Married in three days! There are only three days left......
