Chapter 499: Engagement Period

The day I arrived in the capital was not a good weather.

Early in the morning, the sky was overcast, as if it was going to snow.

"The snow will have to hold for a day, and it won't fall until about dusk." Pond Changting Road.

"It's good to just fall down, and it's ...... to enter the city when the snow is falling," Chi Tang suddenly remembered that night in the post station, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appeared in front of her, the snow had not melted.

"What do you think?" Chi Changting frowned and looked at his daughter who suddenly blushed.

Chi Tang suddenly woke up and hurriedly said, "No, nothing-"

Naturally, my father didn't believe it.

"Just imagine Daddy's heroic appearance in the snow!" Chi Tang said flatteringly.

Chi Changting snorted.

Think he can think of blushing? What about the crooks?

Chi Tang looked left and right with a weak heart, and when he saw the battle outside the post station, he couldn't help but speak: "This face is much bigger than the last time I went to Jiangnan and entered Beijing!" ”

Last time, it was some civil and military officials and honor guards, and this time it seems that there is still a forbidden army.

And the last time I was greeted at the Shili Pavilion, this time I ran directly to the post station to greet him.

Chi Changting smiled coldly: "That's natural, can't you prevent the prince from leading an army of three or four hundred thousand to surround the capital?" ”

Chi Tang snorted lightly, and was about to say that they were villains, but after thinking about it, they seemed to have plans to surround the capital with an army of more than 300,000?

Hey? I was actually recognized by the other party!

"Can they really defend themselves by bringing all the troops here?" Chi Tang disagreed.

In fact, after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince received the edict, he asked the Northern Expedition army to go back and forth from where, and this time only the East Palace Guard, the Xuanjia Army and a pro-army of Chi Changting followed back to Beijing.

"The Xuanjia Army alone will scare them to death!" Chi Tang bared his teeth, very proud in his heart.

Chi Changting said with a smile: "If you can't prevent it, don't you allow people to be a little prepared to die in their hearts?" ”

Chi Tang glanced at him, feeling that what his father said was really poisonous, and he didn't know how to come up with it, so he didn't teach her!

When the father and daughter walked to the door of the post station, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also came out.

There was an uproar outside the door.

Chi Tang glanced at it and found that there were really a lot of people coming.

The leader was Li Dai, the king of Shu, and Li Xiu, the king of Wei, did not come.

On the side are the two princesses who have been married and their horses, as well as the princess of Shangluo who has not yet been married, Zhou Yi.

Princess Shangluo didn't appear, and Zhou Yi came.

When he saw Zhou Yi, Chi Tang was a little stunned.

Although it wasn't very close before, it feels too strange now.

Zhou Yi was just promoted to Si Nong Shaoqing a few months ago, and at this time he had already changed into a four-grade crimson official uniform.

Maybe it was the solemnity of the official uniform, which wiped out the harmless gentleness on his body, and his smile was still deferential, but it couldn't erase the deeds of his interception of military rations.

If it weren't for Shen Zhichun's offering of food, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Chi Tang doesn't want to know what he's going to do anymore, he's playing for the tiger, he's going to hurt his father and His Royal Highness the Prince, that's a fact.

After Zhou Yi greeted the prince with his clan relatives, he raised his head, his gaze crossed over from Chi Tang's side, and fell behind her, slightly frozen.

Then he dressed solemnly, walked to Chi Changting, and bowed for a long time: "Student-"

After only saying two words, he stopped.

Halfway through the bow, he was stopped by Chi Changting raising his hand and did not bow down.

Zhou Yi's body trembled, and then tensed.

"Your Highnesses and Ministers are here today, just to testify-" Chi Changting looked at him, his expression was not too stern, just cold.

He let go of his hand, and Zhou Yi was still deadlocked in what he had just done.

"In the past, I had to be born and moved, and I had a heart of pity...... Since then, they have been commensurate with teachers and students...... This week, he was born as an official, and he was disloyal and untrustworthy...... Chi was ashamed, and from now on, he will cut off the teacher-student relationship with Zhou Yi! ”

His expression and tone were still cold and indifferent, but the words were merciless, shaking the silence all around.

Everyone knows that Zhou Yi is now deeply favored by the saints, and everything he does and says is from the emperor's instructions, but Chi Changting reprimanded Zhou Yi for everything he has done in public, and every sentence is scolding Zhou Yi, and even more so scolding the emperor.

The King of Shu finally couldn't help it: "Prince, look at this-"

"Let's go!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said lightly and walked out.

The King of Shu just frowned, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the Xuanjia army outside who were ready to go, pursed his lips, and didn't say anything after all.

Chi Tang also followed his father and walked out.

After walking a few steps, I suddenly felt something in my heart and looked back.

Everyone was walking out, but Zhou Yi was still in place, with his back to everyone.

Only Xia Hui stopped in front of him, his lips moving, as if calling "brother".

Zhou Yi nodded, turned to leave, and left her behind......

……

Walking outside the city gate, Chi Tang couldn't help but look out at the sky.

"See what?" Chi Changting asked.

"Let's see if anyone throws dead crows again." Chitang Road.

Chi Changting sneered, glanced at the city tower, and said, "Today's Mingdemen guard general was arranged two days ago, and we didn't come back to be angry, and the dead crow?" Don't even think about dead flies! ”

"There are no flies in winter......"

"Hey! You kidβ€”"

As he was talking, he suddenly heard the sound of a galloping horse, and looked up, on the royal street, the envoy of the red-clothed palace rode a horse.

When he arrived, he dismounted and unfolded the Ming Huang edict-

"The edict said, order the crown prince, the crown princess Chi clan, and the chief court of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Chi to enter the palace immediately!"

……

Coming back this time, Chi Tang found that there were some less obvious changes in the Taiji Palace.

For example, there is an additional Sanqing Hall in the east of the emperor's dormitory, which enshrines the Sanqing Dao Ancestor, and there is a lot of cigarette smoke inside, and Chi Tang feels almost suffocated the moment he enters.

But His Majesty the Emperor lives here now.

The emperor let them into the palace to meet them, but after they knelt down, they turned a blind eye, listened as if they had not heard, and did not say a word for a long time.

"If Your Majesty doesn't give your Majesty's orders, the ministers won't disturb Your Majesty's Qing Xiu." Li Yan said, and stood up.

Chi Tang and Chi Changting followed him up without being reminded.

Only then did the emperor react.

He sneered and said, "The prince is becoming more and more capable now!" ”

Li Yan said lightly: "As a prince, the minister does not dare to live up to the expectations of the monarchy!" ”

The emperor suddenly felt tightness in his chest and shortness of breath, and pointed at him for a long time and was speechless.

Li Xiu, the king of Wei who was on the side, was busy smoothing his back.

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and sneered: "I have been in poor health since the beginning of autumn, since you have come back, you should also do your filial piety, starting today, you and the Chi family will take turns to serve the sick!" ”

Chi Tangzheng's heart tightened when he heard this, and His Royal Highness the Prince, who was standing in front of her, spoke: "The Son of Heaven is sick, not a person's luck, the minister has ordered Si Tiantai to calculate, it is caused by the imbalance of yin and yang in the East Palaceβ€”β€”"

What the?

Chi Tang raised his head and blinked in disbelief.

Your Highness, you don't even know that you can pull your own father so much, right?

This is not? Everyone's faces were shocked.

The Emperor pointed at him: "You-"

"When the minister returns to Beijing this time, he will marry the crown princess as soon as possible and be in the East Palace to bless His Majesty's dragon health and well-being!" Li Yan paused slightly, and said without changing his face, "Si Tiantai has decided that the third day of March next year will be the auspicious day of the East Palace's wedding, and this matter will be handed over to the Ministry of Rites to supervise!" ”

……

After walking out of the Sanqing Palace, Chi Changting held down the green tendons that jumped violently on his forehead, gritted his teeth and asked, "When did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince change his name to Si Tiantai?" ”

They just arrived in the capital today, and Si Tiantai is a ghost!

The wedding date was set without a word of discussion!

And he wants to take his daughter to rejoice!

What's even more arrogant is that he has to supervise it personally!

Is Li Yan floating, or is he unable to hold a knife?
