In the second year of the dry seal, February 19, morning.

Princess Shangluo knelt outside the Liangyi Hall in plain clothes, held up the recital, and said that the concubine Zhou Yi was not serving effectively, please depose.

Before the gate of the Liangyi Hall was opened, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived.

"Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, why should you disturb the Liangyi Palace?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lightly accused, then took Princess Shangluo's recital, flipped it over, glanced at it, and said, "Such a trivial matter, you are the master alone!" ”

Then it was rumored to meet the princes and princesses of the clan, and Zong Zhengqing, Shaoqing and other East Palace discussions.

The order was given, and the door of the temple was opened.

"Your Majesty has sent the crown prince and Princess Shangluo into the palace!"

In the hall, the emperor's eyebrows were solemn.

On the left and right stood Li Xiu, the king of Wei, and Zhou Yi, the concubine.

Zhou Yi raised her eyes and glanced at Princess Shangluo, still lowering her gaze with a deferential expression.

The emperor didn't pay attention to the crown prince, and only said to Princess Shangluo: "I have been filial piety for a year, but I have learned how to be disobedient!" ”

Princess Shangluo knelt on the ground "poof", tears raining down.

"I'm afraid it's not Zhou Yi who you hold a grudge against in your heart, it's me, right?" The Emperor said coldly.

Princess Shangluo shook her head again and again, crying silently.

The emperor still used these two sentences to deal with her.

If you don't marry Zhou Yi, you are disobedient, and you hold a grudge against him because of the death of the concubine and King Zhao.

It's still these two sentences, which still make her powerless, or make her hopeless.

But she's not the only one this time-

"Your Majesty," His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked faint, "The concubines of the King of Shu and the King of Wei should also be decided-"

"If Your Majesty already has a few candidates in mind, you might as well let the ministers work together to serve as staff officers."

The emperor's eyes changed, and he glanced at Princess Shangluo.

Use the concessions of Princess Wei's selection to replace Luo's dethroned horse......

……

"Did Your Majesty agree?" Chi Tang took the tea handed by His Royal Highness the Prince, but he was too nervous to drink it.

Li Yan wiped the fine sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief, touched her face again, frowned, and said, "Why did you lose weight?" ”

"It's tiring to learn the wedding ceremony!" Chi Tang looked at him strangely, "Why isn't Your Highness tired of studying?" ”

Li Yan said: "The etiquette is much the same, and when the time comes, there will be a reminder from the courtesy officer, so you don't have to be nervous." ”

Chi Tang froze.

So what is she doing desperately these days?

"What you need to do now is to take care of your body, otherwise it will be difficult to survive the wedding for a day." After Li Yan finished saying this, his heart sank.

If you are tired at the wedding, the cave room ......

Li Yan immediately turned his head and instructed Qi Lan: "In the future, the time for the crown princess to learn etiquette shall not exceed two hours a day, one day by memorization, one day of practice, and no fatigue!" ”

"No way!" Chi Tang hurriedly turned his face back, "Your Highness is already very familiar with court etiquette, so I can say that it is the same, how am I the same, it has nothing to do with me, I still have to practice hard!" ”

Li Yan frowned and looked at her.

The crown princess glared back without flinching.

In the end, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave in: "Then a single time shall not exceed half an hour, and the rest shall not be less than half an hour!" ”

Chi Tang thought for a moment, nodded, and then picked up the topic that had been thrown away: "I just asked you!" Did Your Majesty agree to your quid pro quo? ”

"Promised." Li Yan said.

The emperor didn't really like Zhou Yi so much that he had to recruit him as his son-in-law, and when the conditions were enough, he naturally agreed.

"Then who are the princesses of Shu and the princesses of Wei chosen by His Majesty?" Chi Tang was a little nervous.

There was a lot of trouble for these two princess candidates before, can you really get through it this time?

"Your Majesty gave three candidates for Princess Wei: Xiao Da, Xie San, and Wei Qi."

Xiao Da is Xiao Tong, Xie San is Xie Wan's cousin, and Wei Qi is Wei Ningzhi and Princess Zhao's cousin.

I have to say that I picked it very carefully.

"Lonely choice Wei Qi." Li Yan said.

Wei has already produced a princess Zhao, and it doesn't matter if there is another princess of Wei.

Chi Tang also felt that it was acceptable, and asked again: "What about Princess Shu?" ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince paused slightly, and said, "The princess of Shu was asked for by the King of Shu himself-"

He took her hand holding the teacup, brought the tea to her lips and fed it, before continuing: "Lone came to see you, and I also wanted to ask you if you knew about Princess Shu," his eyes were slightly dark, "It seems that you don't know-"

……

After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left, Chi Tang sat in a daze for a long time, until Qi Lan came in and asked if he would continue to practice, and then suddenly woke up.

"Let's practice-" Chi Tang stood up, paused for another moment, raised his head and ordered, "Give me an invitation to go to the Hou Mansion of Wei County!" ”

People came quickly.

It seems that the invitation will go out as soon as the person arrives, as respectful as ever.

Chi Tang's eyes were a little complicated when he looked at her: "How did you know about King Qingyang's complaint last time?" ”

Huaping glanced at her in surprise, then blushed slightly, and said softly: "Yes, it was His Royal Highness the King of Shu who told me......"

Chi Tang suddenly didn't know what to say.

A trace of panic flashed on the screen's face, and he took the initiative to speak: "I only talked to His Royal Highness the King of Shu for the first time half a month ago, not intentionally hiding it from the crown princess, but, just this matter...... I always find it unbelievable......"

It's incredible.

The origin of the painting screen is tacitly understood in the circle of the family in the capital, and the King of Shu must also know it.

But the king of Shu gave up Xiao Tong, the head of the famous family, and personally asked to marry the embarrassing picture screen.

Now that the news has not spread, Chi Tang feels that when the news spreads, it is estimated that the people in the entire capital will feel incredible.

It's not that she thinks the screen is bad, but it's too weird.

I just said it half a month ago, could it be that I fell in love at first sight?

But—

"Do you know that the King of Shu has a very favored concubine Jiang who has given birth to the eldest son?" Chi Tang asked.

has a favorite concubine, and comes out to play and fall in love at first sight, why is she so unbelieving?

"I know," there was not the slightest surprise on his face, "His Royal Highness the King of Shu told me." ”

"He won't tell you that these are all mistakes he made in his youth and ignorance, will he?" Chi Tang asked with a frown.

When she said this, her mind had already filled up the picture of the King of Shu's rhetoric and coaxing the innocent and simple small picture screen.

"No," Huaping shook his head and smiled, "His Royal Highness the King of Shu told me that Concubine Jiang is the love of his life—"

"Wait!" Chi Tang hurriedly interrupted her.

jumped off the couch, ran to the door, opened the door, and said angrily: "Uncle Zhu, you eavesdrop on it, can you not eat melon seeds?" It's so noisy that I can't even hear it! ”

Zhu Xian snorted and said, "Why can't you hear clearly, don't you dare to listen?" As he spoke, he pushed her away and walked inside.

Leaned over the couch, looked at the picture screen and said with a smile: "The King of Shu said that Concubine Jiang is the love of his life, and then what?" Is it reluctant to wronged her, so you can't marry a wealthy family, you can only marry a girl with an embarrassing identity like you? ”

The painting screen looked at Zhu Xian in astonishment: "How does Miss Zhu know——"

"Did he really say that?" Chi Tang was furious.

Paintscreen nodded.

"I'll go to Du Niangzi!" Chitang rushed out.

The painting screen hurriedly grabbed her and said, "I promised it myself!" I volunteered! ”
