The gaze of the Son of Heaven fell on the top of his head, as if he were weighted.

Li Yan straightened his back and waited in silence.

After a long time, the emperor chuckled.

"The crown princess? Do you want Xie Da and Guo Er to be subordinated to Chi Nu? The Emperor asked with a smile.

Li Yan couldn't answer for a while.

He didn't think about any of that.

It was he who was impulsive.

"Chi Nu is still in filial piety, do you have to wait for her for three years?"

Li Yan still couldn't answer.

He had never been at a loss for a moment.

The emperor laughed again and said, "Chi Changting sacrificed himself to protect the lord, and it is also a good thing for you to pity his daughter, but how can she, a woman with no father, no mother, and no obvious background, afford the position of crown princess?" You're not feeling sorry for her, you're hurting her. ”

How could he not understand such a simple truth?

After a moment of silence, Li Yan bowed again: "The minister asks the prince of the Chi clan to be the concubine——"

……

"Your Highness personally asked for the seal for Chi Si?" Before Qi Guogong could stand firmly, he questioned with disbelief in his eyes.

Li Yan nodded "um" and glanced out at the sky.

The edict came out from the front of the emperor, and this hour should have just been sent to Zhongshu Province not long ago.

Seeing that Qi Guogong came so quickly, the book should have been intercepted.

"Your Highness—" Qi Guogong took a deep breath and held back the anger between his eyebrows, "Why didn't Your Highness tell the minister in advance?" ”

Li Yan said lightly: "Just in front of the emperor, Your Majesty ordered Gu to draw up an edict directly." ”

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, he asked for an edict to be canonized after the emperor relented.

Qi Guogong's questioning was also expected by him, after all, the crown princess was undecided, but the side concubine was determined first, and the person was not on the previous list.

Regarding his remarks, Qi Guogong couldn't help but "sneer" and said, "I didn't know that Your Majesty was so kind to an orphan girl, and he only sealed her!" ”

Li Yan heard a trace of contempt from his tone, and couldn't help but feel unhappy in his heart, and argued: "Your Majesty has always come to see the Changting of the Pond. ”

When he said this, he felt a chill in his heart.

If you talk about the importance of Chi Changting, no one can compare to Qi Guogong, who has almost taken care of his parents and nephews over the years.

But Chi Changting's bones are not cold, and his daughter is worthless in the eyes of Qi Guogong.

Probably not everyone will love the house and the black bar......

Qi Guogong sneered and said, "Your Majesty values Chi Changting so much, why don't you directly include Chi Si in the harem-"

"Uncle!" Li Yan got up suddenly, and the case in front of him shook a few times, and the pen holder toppled over.

Qi Guogong was so shocked that he took half a step back, then looked at him for a while, and sighed: "Your Highness is in the East Palace, how can you not know that the overall situation is important?" ”

Li Yan said coldly: "Alone in the East Palace, how can you not know the overall situation?" ”

Qi Guogong's face froze.

Yes, the prince has lived in the storage position for many years, when has he ever been ignorant? What can you not understand?

But this time, it's like this.

Qi Guogong suddenly smiled and said, "Your Highness has grown up, and you have a favorite girl." ”

Hearing the words "favorite girl", Li Yan felt a little itchy in his heart, but he subconsciously retorted: "Chi Changting died because of loneliness, and Gu should take care of his daughter-" Wei paused, whispering to himself, "It's the ...... that Gu owes her"

Qi Guogong's eyes flashed, he smiled, and said: "If you want to accept Chi Si, it's nothing, but now you are alone in accepting her, I am afraid that it will attract criticism, and it may not be a blessing for her, so I simply set the two side concubines together, and it will save Chi Si from being too eye-catching." ”

Li Yan frowned.

Want to seal another one?

When he asked for a pool girl, he didn't think of others, but ...... Qi Guogong is right.

Sealing her alone is too eye-catching.

Cooking oil over fire is not a good thing.

"Your Royal Highness will choose one more person, and the minister will go to the front of the palace and decide the candidate for the side concubine first!"

Pick another one?

Who to choose?

Li Yan frowned, recalling the list given to him by the Qi State Bus before.

I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and my memory was blurry at this time.

Even if it was vague, he knew which ones it was, but he had gone through it in his heart, but none of them made him feel that "it was her".

"The minister thinks that if you choose one person, the county lord of Guzang will be the best," Qi Guo said fairly, "Your Highness should know that Yao Wuji's accumulation of troops is far more than the number reported, and we have not obtained the list of Yao Wuji's collusion with the ministers of the court, and I don't know if he has dealings with other princes, even if Yao Wuji is not mentioned, King Zhao, Wei Kuan has 90,000 troops in Fanyang, which cannot be underestimated, and the only one who can compete with Yao Wuji and Wei Kuan is Guo Zhongying in the northwest!" ”

Li Yan felt that he understood the truth, but-

"Although the county lord of Guzang is a woman, he is determined to be on the battlefield, and it is not appropriate-" Li Yan went through the people on the list in his mind again, and sighed in his heart, "Choose the Anhou Mansion, the eight daughters of the Lu family." ”

Qi Guogong looked at him for a while, nodded with a smile, and for some reason, sighed: "Chi Si Po Xiao and his mother......"

……

The edict to canonize the crown prince's concubine was issued on the fifth day of the first month.

Li Yan originally wanted to go to the Chi family in person, so as to shock the people in the Chi family's big house, but he felt that it was not suitable.

After thinking about it, in the early morning of the fifth day of the new year, the ghost made a god worse, and a sudden thought broke into my mind.

Without waiting for him to think about it carefully, he had already changed into the official uniform of the crown prince guard, and left the palace with the East Palace official who sent the edict.

He hid behind the crowd, his gaze through the zigzag gap, and saw her.

The body seems to be better, and with the support of the maid, he is not reluctant to walk.

Plain clothes and black hair, pale and weak, the appearance is still the same as the previous two times.

What was different was that this time, he finally saw her eyes.

Last time, Qi Guogong said that she was like a mother, but in fact, she was not, her appearance was a few points like her parents, such as eyes, the shape resembled Chi Changting, and she had delicate almond eyes, probably because she was a girl, her almond eyes were round and delicate, and her eyes were black and white, which looked clear and clean.

It's so clean that it makes people look at it, and their hearts are soft and happy.

Li Yan looked at her intently, at her dazed, at her stunned, and at her sad.

What's so sad?

By the way, the edict mentions her father.

If the edict wants to declare the world, it will naturally mention her father's merits, so that it seems that her canonization is justified.

I don't want to make her sad again.

How can we comfort her?

Li Yan frowned in thought.

At this time, I don't know if I noticed something, the girl suddenly raised her eyes.

The gaze was light, passed through the heavy figures, and landed on him with unmistakable accuracy!

Li Yan stiffened, unconsciously straightened his back, but avoided her gaze.

As soon as I avoided it, I felt that something was wrong, so I hurriedly turned back.

The eyes collided, and the curiosity and exploration in her eyes turned into panic, and the corners of her lips curled hastily, as if she wanted to smile at him in a friendly manner, but the smile marks did not appear, and she pressed back again, and her expression was faintly blaming herself, probably because she felt that she was still in the period of filial piety and could not laugh.

Li Yan also wanted to laugh.

I don't know why, I just want to laugh.

He thought that when she married him in the future, he would make her laugh every day and not allow her to be sad.
