Ten dead and alive?!

The surrounding ministers all had their pupils shrunk, and they were all silent.

There was still a commotion on the school field outside the high platform, and the fierce sound of horses' hooves and the cheers of the audience contrasted sharply with the silence on the emperor's side, as if they were two worlds.

The emperor was quite satisfied with Xuanjing's knowledge, but his face was sad, and his brows furrowed even tighter.

"My Nine Emperor Brother is still so young, how can he ......" he sighed regretfully, "Dao Chief, if you calculate it again, you can't let the Nine Emperor Brother leave early." ”

"He has been fighting on the battlefield for so many years, and finally returned triumphantly...... I really can't bear it! ”

The noble courtiers present still didn't speak, everyone knew that the emperor was dissatisfied with King Chen, but now he suddenly made this appearance of caring for his younger brother, which had to make people suspect that the emperor had other plans. They'd better wait and see what happens.

"Your Majesty, please wait, and let the poor Dao calculate it again." Xuanjing closed his eyes, pinched his fingers again, frowned slightly, and seemed to mumble to himself.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, his eyes were shining, and he said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, if you can find a woman who is in harmony with eight characters, and rejoice for His Royal Highness King Chen, maybe you can save this death for the prince." ”

"Chongxi?" The emperor raised his eyebrows in surprise, pondered for a moment, and said with a sigh, "The Ninth Emperor Brother is in his early twenties, and he is still unmarried, so maybe he is also in the right place for this catastrophe." ”

The emperor said: "Dao Chief, calculate what kind of eight characters can be reconciled with the Nine Emperor Brothers." ”

Xuanjing seemed to be embarrassed, "Your Majesty, the poor road needs to have the eight characters of His Royal Highness King Chen." ”

The birth date of the clan is recorded on the jade.

The emperor just had a look, and Gonggong Ni understood what the emperor meant, walked over, and said Gu Jue's eight characters and Xuanjing with his ear.

Xuanjing closed his eyes again and calculated.

The ministers had different expressions, and they couldn't help but quietly exchange glances with each other.

Most people were still a little confused, and they couldn't figure out which play the emperor was singing, and some people vaguely guessed that the emperor was probably eyeing King Chen's marriage.

The question is, with King Chen's unruly temperament, will he obediently let the emperor give him a marriage?!

Normally, naturally not, but now that King Chen is seriously ill, it's hard to say......

At this moment, even the passage of time seems to have slowed down......

Several courtiers couldn't help but wipe the beads of sweat that slipped from the corners of their foreheads with their cuffs, and their hearts were sullen, and there was always a sense of depression that was about to come.

Finally—

Xuan Jing opened his eyes again in the complicated gaze of everyone, and he looked confident.

"Xuanjing Dao Chief, have you figured it out?" Father-in-law Ni asked with a sharp voice.

Xuan Jing stood up from the futon and said, "I'm tired of my father-in-law preparing pen and ink." ”

After a word of order, a small waiter prepared the four treasures of the study room neatly with his hands and feet, and served Xuanjing with pen and ink.

Xuanjing wrote a birthday on the paper with a pen, and then said: "Your Majesty, this daughter is in the capital, born in the capital, the mayor of the capital, the family house should be in the west of the city, and she is the second daughter in the family......"

Ni Gonggong sent the birthday to the emperor for the emperor to see, the emperor glanced at it, and ordered: "Go and post a notice to find someone immediately......

"Your Majesty," Father-in-law Ni held the silk paper with the eight characters of his birthday written on it, his eyes showed hesitation, "The slave looks at this birthday a little familiar, and the second niece of the concubine seems to be this birthday...... That's right, it's August of the year of Wuxu. ”

"The Marquis of Yongding's Mansion also happens to be in the west of the city."

The emperor turned the jade wrench on his thumb and immediately ordered: "Spread Chu Lingxiao!" ”

So, the chamberlains immediately received their orders and hurried away.

Xuan Jing finished his errand and retired.

The atmosphere inside the seat was even more eccentric.

Several shrewd courtiers looked at Xuanjing's back and their eyelids jumped, and they became more and more sure of their guesses: the development of all this is so logical, so logical that people have to wonder whether the emperor has a plan in advance.

No!

It must have been planned for a long time, otherwise how could Father-in-law Ni remember the birthday of the niece of the concubine.

The emperor was in a cheerful mood and drank tea leisurely.

After a stick of incense, Chu Lingxiao came limping, his leg injury has not healed so far, so he came on crutches.

Chu Lingxiao specially sent a little guy to see Chu Yunyi's shooting test early this morning, and after the little guy went back, he told Chu Lingxiao about Chu Yunyi's praise by the emperor. Chu Lingxiao was happy, so he heard that the emperor sent someone to spread the word about himself, only thinking that the emperor wanted to reward himself because of Chu Yunyi's performance, and he was in a good mood.

As soon as he entered the seat, everyone's eyes rushed to him, and they stared at him strangely.

Chu Lingxiao couldn't help muttering in his heart, he always felt that the eyes of these people didn't look like envy, and seemed to have some sympathy.

Chu Lingxiao was a little uneasy, but the emperor was in front of him, and he couldn't allow him to think too much, so he saluted the emperor a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, the ministers are inconvenient to move, and if you are rude, please forgive the emperor." ”

The emperor was in a good mood, so naturally he wouldn't bother with Chu Lingxiao for this little thing, and asked people to give him a seat, which seemed very gentle and generous.

Chu Lingxiao sat down with the support of the little chamberlain, and the emperor asked with "concern": "Chu Lingxiao, how is your leg injury doing?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the minister is already well." Chu Lingxiao replied a little flattered.

He didn't dare to complain to the emperor at all, for fear that if he said that he was seriously injured, he would leave an embarrassing impression on the emperor, and it would be even more difficult for him to find a good job in the future.

After the words fell, Chu Lingxiao felt that the eyes of the other people around him looked at him more subtlely, and even there was an indescribable smell in the air.

The emperor didn't really care about Chu Lingxiao, and asked him to recuperate from his injuries, and then got to the point: "Chu Lingxiao, the second daughter in your family was born in August of the year of Wuxu, right?" ”

Chu Lingxiao's eyes flashed slightly, and he didn't know why the emperor suddenly mentioned Chu Qianchen, but he still replied: "Exactly." ”

"Write Ling Yan's birthday to me." The Emperor said again.

Chu Lingxiao was confused, but the pen and ink had already been delivered to him, and he could only write.

The little chamberlain presented the eight characters of Chu Lingxiao's birthday to the emperor, and the emperor glanced at it, and the corners of his mouth curled.

Several courtiers noticed it, and immediately lowered their heads again, but they didn't see it.

"You are a woman this time, I have also seen it once, you are a well-behaved person, and she looks a little like a concubine." The emperor gossiped and said, "The Yongding Marquis Mansion really teaches her daughters well. ”

The emperor's praise made Chu Lingxiao more and more confused, and he couldn't help but start thinking nonsense: When the emperor mentioned the concubine, did he want Chu Qianchen to be the second prince's concubine?

But it's just a prince's side concubine, why do you have to say it in front of so many courtiers?

It's inevitable that it's too exciting.

Chu Lingxiao vaguely felt that something was wrong, and thought: Could it be that because the second prince likes Chu Qianchen and opened up with the emperor, the emperor wants to give Chu Qianchen as the prince's concubine?

Chu Lingxiao's heart sank, and he said modestly: "The little girl is mediocre and can't afford to be praised by the emperor like this." “

"Did she make a promise?" The emperor asked knowingly.

Chu Lingxiao felt more and more that his guesses were inseparable, and secretly said in disgust: This girl is really good at camping, and she doesn't want to think about her identity!

The future of the second prince is related to the glory of the Chu family, the Chu family has high hopes for the second prince, the second prince marries a good princess, and with the help of the Yue family, the future of the second prince can be better.

Marrying Chu Qianchen is not helpful to the second prince at all!

Chu Lingxiao held his breath in his heart, but he didn't dare to bully the king, so he could only answer honestly: "Back to the emperor, I haven't yet." The eldest and youngest are orderly, and the eldest daughter of the minister is the same age as the second daughter, and the family affairs have not yet been decided. ”

The implication is that Chu Qianchen is just a concubine, not worthy of being a prince and concubine!

The emperor moved his eyebrows, feeling that Chu Lingxiao's words were very good, and seemed to say to himself: "The concubine is a little 'wronged'......"

That's right! Chu Lingxiao nodded secretly, Chu Qianchen was just a concubine, where could he wronged the second prince.

The other noble courtiers present were also convinced of one thing-

The emperor just wants to marry the concubine of the Marquis of Yongding to King Chen!

Uncle Zhong Yong wanted to curry favor with the emperor, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, since the eight characters match, this family business must be a match made in heaven." ”

What the?! Chu Lingxiao's face changed again, and he felt that Uncle Zhong Yong was simply talking nonsense with his eyes open, and glared at him fiercely.

Uncle Zhongyong just pretended not to see it, and was still saying: "As the saying goes, if you look up to marry a girl, you bow your head to marry a daughter-in-law, how can it be called 'grievance'!" ”

Several of the emperor's cronies nodded frequently.

Some generals frowned slightly, feeling that this family affair was inappropriate.

The question is, as far as we see today, it is a fact that King Chen is seriously ill, if it is really as Xuanjing Daoist said, King Chen "died ten times without life", if because they opposed Chong Xi, but caused King Chen to die, wouldn't it hurt King Chen?

What if, Chong Xi can really save King Chen's life?

The generals also have a headache, feeling that this matter is really difficult to do, whether it is right to approve it or oppose it!

In the final analysis, whether or not to be happy or not depends on the meaning of King Chen.

While drinking tea, the emperor looked around the ministers quietly, taking in their different expressions in his eyes, and the corners of his lips curled, feeling that Uncle Zhongyong was much more eye-catching than his son Yun Zhan.

Chu Qianchen is just a concubine of the Hou Mansion, and her status is too low, so she is not worthy of being a princess at all.

If he directly ordered Gu Jue to point out such a princess, in the eyes of outsiders, he would only feel that this family affair had wronged Gu Jue and that he had treated Gu Jue badly.

Therefore, the emperor took such a big trip to King Chen's Mansion today, just to show the courtiers and the people, let them know that he did not unload the mill and kill the donkey, and let them know that he chose a concubine for Gu Jue to be the princess in order to save his life.

No one would know that this concubine's life is so "peculiar"!

It's time to close the net, too.

"Chu Lingxiao," the emperor put down the teacup and looked at Chu Lingxiao again, "Since your second daughter has not yet decided to marry, then I will give her a marriage." ”

Chu Lingxiao's head was big, and he said euphemistically and vaguely: "Your Majesty, the second daughter of the minister is usually quiet and introverted, and her qualifications are mediocre, I'm afraid she can't afford to be so valued by the emperor." ”

Chu Lingxiao tried to tell the emperor that Chu Qianchen was really unworthy of being the prince's concubine.

However, the more Chu Lingxiao said that Chu Qianchen was not good, the emperor felt that Chu Qianchen was more suitable for Gu Jue.

Gu Jue's eyes are above the top, if he knew that his future princess was such a woman with mediocre qualifications and couldn't get on the stage, he was afraid that he would be angry and sick.

This family business is really a good match! The Emperor laughed mockingly in his heart.

He quietly gave Duke Ni a look, and Grandpa Ni was sympathetic to the holy will, and said in a high-sounding manner: "Master Hou, the Xuanjing Dao is profound, he can be regarded as a blessed person for the second girl of Chu, then there will be no mistake, and Master Hou should not be arrogant." ”

Chu Lingxiao's heart sank, how could this marriage be related to Xuanjing Dao Chang.

"Yes, Master Hou, this family business is a good fate, and there is a certain number in the dark." Uncle Zhong Yong also jumped out to persuade Chu Lingxiao, "Don't let down the emperor's benevolent heart." ”

Among the people present, only Chu Lingxiao still couldn't figure out the situation, and he was even more confused.

Chu Lingxiao still wanted to object, but the others didn't give him any chance to speak at all.

After a while, the emperor let out a long sigh and seemed to say to himself: "Although the second girl of the Chu family is just a concubine and has a low status, but the eight characters are good, and now the life of the Nine Emperor Brother is in danger, for the sake of his life, now he can only wronged the Nine Emperor Brother first." ”

The emperor looked embarrassed, as if he had to do it.

"When the Nine Emperor Brothers' health is better in the future, I will give him two more side concubines."

According to the law, both the prince and the prince of the county could have a main concubine and two side concubines.

What the?! Chu Lingxiao was like five thunderbolts, wondering if he was hallucinating.

Didn't the emperor want to give the second prince and Chu Qianchen a marriage? How did you become the king of Chen!!

Chu Lingxiao almost didn't slap himself, and he was chilled.

Who doesn't know that the emperor doesn't like King Chen Gu Jue, and their Chu family has a relationship with King Chen, so won't the Chu family be suppressed into the dust in the future? !

Before, Chu Lingxiao was expecting that after his injured leg healed, he could find another errand, but now he only felt that he had been poured a bucket of cold water by reality.

It is impossible for the emperor to reuse King Chen's father-in-law, his future is completely ruined!

Chu Qianchen, this girl is really a disaster star, I am afraid that the enemy of his previous life will come to collect debts in this life!

Chu Lingxiao was even more disgusted with Chu Qianchen in his heart, his mouth opened slightly, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't make a sound, his throat was difficult and unbearable, and the chill spread to his limbs.

Zhong Yongbo and the others didn't realize it, and you praised the emperor word by word:

"His Royal Highness King Chen is seriously ill, and the emperor is merciful and thinks about His Royal Highness King Chen."

"The emperor loves his brother with a fist, which is really admired by the ministers."

"His Royal Highness King Chen will definitely be grateful to the emperor for his love."

"The emperor and His Royal Highness King Chen are brothers, and the first emperor will be relieved in the spirit of the sky."

“……”

Everyone was talking nonsense, as if the emperor's marriage was expected by all.

The emperor's mood was better, and he instructed Ni Gong to be fair: "Immediately prepare a decree for me, I want to marry the Nine Emperor brothers, and make the second girl of the Chu family the concubine of King Chen, and marry into King Chen's mansion on a certain day." ”

Ni Gonggong only agreed to his promise and immediately went down to draw up the order.

Chu Lingxiao sat there stupidly, his mind was chaotic, and he didn't react until a little chamberlain reminded him.

He dragged a wounded leg and wanted to kneel, but the emperor was in a good mood, so he excused him, "Chu Lingxiao, if you have a wounded leg, you don't have to kneel, just stand and receive the order." ”

Chu Lingxiao's heart felt as if he had knocked over a five-flavor bottle, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty were mixed together, and in the end, only endless bitterness remained.

But he was no longer willing, and he didn't dare to resist the order, so he could only bow his head, raise his hands and say, "The minister accepts the order." ”

His expression was sad, and he almost wanted to cry without tears.

Of course, Zhong Yongbo and other courtiers also saw Chu Lingxiao's unwillingness, but what could they do!

Thunder, rain and dew are all gentlemen, and those who are ministers can only bear it.

At the same time, the marriage decree was also personally sent to King Chen's Mansion by Father-in-law Ni.

The person who received the order was Cheng Linhua, the chief of the palace.

He was completely confused.

After Father-in-law Ni left, Cheng Linhua went to Tianshui Courtyard with this hot holy decree.

Chu Qianchen also left shortly after the emperor left the Chenwang Mansion, and at this moment, only Yun Zhan and Xue Fengyan were in the Tianshui Courtyard.

Yun Zhan looked at the holy decree in Cheng Linhua's hand and said mockingly: "What tricks did the emperor play?" ”

Yun Zhan showed a clear sneer, just now the emperor left so easily, he guessed that the emperor still had a trick.

Sure enough!

Yun Zhan and Xue Fengyan exchanged a look, and their expressions were calm and calm.

Cheng Linhua said with a complicated expression: "The emperor has just given the prince a marriage, and he said that he wanted to give the prince a happy ......."

"Marriage?" Xue Fengyan raised his eyebrows slightly and shrugged his shoulders in a chic manner, "Who is so unlucky?" ”

The person who was given the emperor to marry the prince is not an "unlucky egg", and their prince will not be at the mercy of the emperor.

Cheng Linhua: "......"

Cheng Linhua thought about it and gave two words: "Be cautious." ”

Then, he stuffed the holy decree in his hand to Xue Fengyan, "Look at it yourself." ”

Xue Fengyan pinched a peanut from the plate, threw it into his mouth, bit the salty peanut, and didn't wipe his hands, he directly opened the holy decree with his hands stained with salt and pepper, and looked down at ten lines at a glance.

While watching, he also touched another peanut with his hand, and threw it skillfully......

But this time the peanuts fell to the ground, and then rolled out along the smooth mirror-like ground......

Yun Zhan saw that Xue Fengyan had missed, and teased: "What's wrong?" It's like seeing a ghost. ”

Isn't that hell!! Xue Fengyan's mouth was wide open, and he didn't speak, he casually stuffed the holy decree into Yun Zhan and let him see it for himself.

Xue Fengyan picked up the teacup and drank the warm tea in the cup in one go. He's got to take it slow!

"No......"

At this time, Yun Zhan also finished reading the Holy Decree, and it should be said that he repeatedly read the Holy Decree twice, and then he was sure that it was not an illusion.

Xue Fengyan, Yun Zhan and Cheng Linhua looked at each other quietly, their expressions as complicated.

Originally, they didn't care about the emperor's jumping up and down, and the Chenwang Mansion was not a bun, or the emperor gave marriage, and the prince could not admit it, the holy decree or something, what was the matter with their Chenwang Mansion!

However, the emperor actually gave Chu Qianchen a marriage to the prince.

Yun Zhan admired the emperor for the first time, how did the emperor come up with such an idea?

Yun Zhan cleared his throat and muttered, "What now?" ”

They all knew that the prince regarded Chu Qianchen as his own person in the Chenwang Mansion.

Yun Zhan suddenly had a feeling that he had nowhere to go.

At this moment, Cheng Linhua had calmed down and said, "Don't be impatient for a while." ”

Then, he looked at Xue Fengyan, "Fengyan, you go to the Yongding Marquis Mansion, tell the second girl of Chu, and listen to what she means." ”

Xue Fengyan touched a few more peanuts to eat, and responded vaguely.

He clapped his hands and set off immediately, knowing in his heart that it was estimated that Chu Qianchen would probably already know about it now.

The Holy Decree of the Dog Emperor should also have arrived at the Chu family.

As he guessed, the holy decree had indeed reached the Chu family.

The people who knelt on the ground at the outer door of the Hou Mansion were all stunned and looked at each other secretly.

Even Chu Qianchen himself was stunned, and listened to the little chamberlain read out the holy decree in a trance: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says: I hear that the second daughter of the Marquis of Yongding is outstanding, gentle and virtuous, and I am very happy to hear it." When Gu Jue, the king of Jinchen, is suitable for marriage, he should choose a virtuous woman to match. In order to become a beautiful woman, you will be specially matched with King Chen as the prince and princess. They were married three days later. Chin this! ”

The corners of Chu Qianchen's mouth twitched, he really couldn't understand what the emperor was doing.

But nine times out of ten, he came to pit the prince on purpose!

She pondered in her heart: she would have to go to the palace again in a while, and find Yun Zhan to discuss with Cheng Linhua.

In any case, Chu Qianchen has no other choice now.

"The courtiers take the order." She accepted the order with a calm face.

The little chamberlain who came to deliver the decree looked Chu Qianchen up and down lightly, and said, "Second Miss Chu, the emperor picked you to celebrate His Royal Highness King Chen, that is your blessing." ”

He directly put "Chongxi" on his lips, and the expressions of the Chu family present became even more weird.

Chu Qianchen didn't say a word, didn't even say a polite word, and said in his heart: Sure enough, as Yongdinghou said, he is a quiet and introverted person, and he looks very weak.

The little chamberlain didn't stay long, and left a sentence of "Our family has to go back to the emperor to give an errand", and left with the other palace people.

The gates of the Hou Mansion were soon closed.

Chu Qianchen grabbed the holy decree and looked at the closed door, unaware of the gazes of the others around him.

The Hou Mansion is going to have a princess, but most people don't have the slightest joy on their faces, after all, Chu Qianchen can't be regarded as a serious princess at all, and he is going to be happy.

Perhaps, just after getting married, King Chen will be gone, so she will become a Kefu!

Liu thought mockingly, but didn't dare to speak. After all, she and Chu Qianling still have to ask Chu Qianchen for a perfect ointment.

Chu Qianling looked at Chu Qianchen with a complicated mood, on the one hand, she was relieved, Chu Qianchen could no longer hinder herself, on the other hand, she had a little sympathy for Chu Qianchen, first she was calculated by Chu Qianhuang, and now she was calculated by the emperor.

Chu Lingxiao walked towards Chu Qianchen crookedly on crutches, his expression was cold, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Rebel girl!"

Chu Lingxiao raised his hand high and slapped Chu Qianchen in the face......

"Chu Lingxiao!" Shen Shi quickly stepped forward, grabbed Chu Lingxiao's right wrist, and pushed him, "What are you doing!" ”

Chu Lingxiao was on crutches, he couldn't stand steadily, and when he was pushed by Shen like this, he staggered backwards and almost fell, but fortunately, the little guy quickly helped him.

Shen raised his eyes and looked at Chu Lingxiao, his eyes were like a frozen lake, clearly reflecting Chu Lingxiao's embarrassed figure.

Chu Lingxiao was even more angry, ignoring the fact that there were still people in the other rooms of the Chu family around him, pointing at Chu Qianchen and scolding: "Shen Zhi, so far, you are still protecting this girl!" ”

"She looks like a fox and acts ostentatiously, so she will cause a catastrophe to our Chu family!"

The more Chu Lingxiao spoke, the more excited he became, and he was vaguely crazy in his description, venting all the depression and disambition in these days.

"Enough, what nonsense are you talking about!" Shen Shi felt a panache in his chest when he heard this, and his chest rose and fell violently. She felt heartache for Chu Qianchen.

Chu Qianchen frowned slightly. She didn't care what Chu Lingxiao said about her, but she didn't like him to say that the prince was a catastrophe.

"Where am I talking nonsense, she's a disaster!" Chu Lingxiao sneered, "She entered the palace with you not long ago, and the emperor said that he had seen her, and only once, she caused this kind of disaster!" ”

"Shen Zhi, since you brought her into the palace, you should look at her!!" Chu Lingxiao's voice became higher and higher-pitched.

Chu Qianchen had an extra silver needle between her fingers, her eyes sank by three points, and she didn't like Chu Lingxiao to talk to Shen like this with this attitude.

Her slender fingers flexibly sandwiched the silver needle between her two fingers, and just as she was about to make a move, Shen Shi took a step ahead of her, and impatiently kicked Chu Lingxiao's crutches.

"Boom!"

Chu Lingxiao's crutches flew out diagonally, without the support of the crutches, Chu Lingxiao fell to the ground in embarrassment, and this fall inevitably crushed his leg.

A terrible scream suddenly soared into the sky, "My legs! My legs ......"

Some people shouted "Hou Ye" to help Chu Lingxiao, some people shouted that they wanted to invite a doctor, and some people were at a loss.

The scene was chaotic all of a sudden, chickens flying and dogs jumping.
