Chapter 002: Miscalculation

The princess's 1,200 steps, of course, are used to run.

Li Xuan'er returned to the palace like a wind, and without thinking about it, she raised her legs and rushed to Zichen Palace.

She walked through the back door, hiding behind the curtain and peeking in. I heard someone say:

"Your Majesty, Zheng Shizhi is the grandson of Zheng Yin, the prime minister of the previous dynasty, although his father did not have a very outstanding person, but his family style is noble, and his knowledge and character are not good.

The person who spoke was the one who tried his best to match them, Zheng Hao's mentor, Prime Minister Bai Minzhong.

Zheng Hao himself, not only has he seen it in the saint, but he has also taken the test in person in the temple examination, he is the champion of the gold list written by the saint, and of course he is also a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven.

Seeing her father nodding frequently, Xuan'er was anxious. Look left and right, I want to find a father-in-law to go in, find an excuse to invite my father out first, and it will be easy to do it when she meets her father.

But this is a small door to the harem, except for two guards, there is not even a figure next to it. The princess was in a hurry, and faintly heard a voice as warm as jade in the hall:

"Weichen Zheng Hao, see Your Majesty!"

Long legs to walk fast?

"Zheng Aiqing, I heard that you have studied hard day and night in order to focus on the scientific examination, and you have not married at the age of twenty-six, but is there such a thing?"

"Back to Your Majesty, that's true."

"Hmm." The saint nodded appreciatively.

As soon as Zheng Hao entered the hall, the saint carefully examined it, he was really seven feet tall and extraordinary. With the fact that he was in his twenties, he won the top prize in the Jinshi department, and he was also the first person in the Celestial Empire.

This is the most satisfying point for Shengshang, who loves talents in the imperial examination. The Holy Grace went on to say:

"I have the eldest daughter, who is already in her prime, dignified and virtuous, graceful and luxurious, suitable for everyone's mother, I want to marry her......"

"Enlighten the father, the daughter is unwilling!"

The father's words had been spoken, and the princess couldn't wait any longer, so she only lifted the curtain and forced her way in.

So, the ministers were shocked to see that the princess was wearing a stone blue lapel-collared hakama, a high scarf on her head, and black leather six-fold boots.

Princess Wanshou is really bold, the Celestial Empire has its own Empress Wu, Empress Wei, and Princess Taiping in chaos, and there are already palace rules, and harem women are not allowed to enter the main hall.

What is she going to do?

Sure enough, the saint frowned: "Wanshou, this is the court, not a place for you to come, don't retreat." ”

The princess looked up at her father and said firmly:

"Father, you want to give me a marriage Zheng Shiyi, he has a childhood sweetheart, who is the second daughter of the Fan Yang Lu family, they have been married since childhood, and they have a deep relationship.

The daughter neither wants to be loved, but also unwilling to wronged herself, and is obsessed with paying wrong.

Therefore, the daughter is reluctant to marry! ”

After Princess Wanshou finished speaking, before the saint could react, the matchmaker Bai Minzhong couldn't hold back his face, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain:

"Your Majesty, Zheng Shizhi was originally married to the Lu family verbally when he was a child, but when he became an adult, Zheng Shizhi himself was unwilling and did not perform three books and six rituals, where did this count? The princess was afraid that she had misunderstood. ”

Didn't do the three books and six rituals? In his previous life, it was obvious that Bai Minzhong personally went to the Lu family to ask for Zheng Hao's marriage letter and dowry. also forced the Lu family to marry Lu Min to the Wang family within three days.

The Lu family was married, and Zheng Hao had no excuse, so he had to accept the saint's marriage.

Although the Wang family is a famous family, her original sister-in-law treated Lu Min harshly, so much so that she came to Zheng Hao again and again to complain and seek comfort. Zheng Hao felt that he was sorry for breaking the contract, and he couldn't extricate himself from this emotion.

And the root cause of all the pain is the princess who doesn't know how to snatch love from herself.

"What my daughter said is true, Zheng Shiyi dares to say that he and the Lu family have never been married when they were young?"

There began to be a discussion below, some said that the princess was rude, some said that Zheng Hao was unjust, and some said that Bai Minzhong was confused. was already jealous of Bai Xianggong as a matchmaker for the princess, but when he saw that he was going yellow, he gloated and fell into the well.

Zheng Hao was a little confused:

That's not right! Wasn't it good to get married in the first place? Why did you refuse to marry in court now?

And...... Lu Min has nothing to do with me now, where did the princess hear about the old things?

It was a matter of two lifetimes, and he had a thousand words in his heart, and he didn't know where to start to prove his innocence for a while, so he only heard the Holy One speak:

"Since there is still an unclear public case in the middle, the matter of marriage will not be discussed today. Wanshou, you step aside. ”

"Daughter Xie Father Emperor is complete!"

As long as she is not deaf, she can hear it, and the princess is full of joy and joy at this time.

Out of the Zichen Palace, under the May sun, Li Xuan'er stretched her waist relaxedly:

This may be the mercy of God to let me live again. Now, there is something much bigger than getting married, since he doesn't love me, why should I love a flower?

A-Niang's Mingyi Hall is just west of the Zichen Palace, and Xuan'er hummed a song into the courtyard.

Since marrying out of the palace, Xuan'er has come back as a routine greeting, and they have spoken polite words to each other. Later, his father was seriously ill and died of funeral, A-Niang was grief-stricken, and she followed her father back then.

"Auntie!"

Li Xuan'er ran towards her mother from a distance, hugging Chao Meiren who was standing at the edge of the garden.

"What's wrong? Didn't you go out this morning after inviting Ann? It's been a long time since I've seen the same. ”

Chao Meiren is the only concubine in this harem who gave birth to two children, but unfortunately her body was not maintained well after giving birth, and she fell ill, giving her daughter a hard hug, and she almost couldn't breathe.

Li Xuan'er told her mother what happened in the hall just now.

"You are also bold, if you break into the court like this, your father will punish you too much." Mother said worriedly.

Xuan'er hurriedly argued: "I'm in a hurry, as long as I don't have to marry Zheng Hao, I am willing to punish me no matter how my father punishes me!" ”

"What are you two talking about?"

The emperor had already retired from the court, and knowing that the princess was here with her mother, he went directly to the Mingyi Palace.

"See Your Majesty." Chao Meiren smiled: "Xuan'er said that she knew she was wrong, she shouldn't be too reckless and go directly to the main hall." This was heard by the Holy One. ”

As soon as she heard her father's voice, Xuan'er stood up, lowered her hands and eyes, and stood there without saying a word.

The saint walked up to Xuan'er, who was drooping her head, and asked:

"What? Just now, the palace was like a tigress, how did she become a paper tiger now? ”

Xuan'er didn't look up, but only stretched out her palm in front of her father:

"Filial piety and faithfulness, out of sticks? Anyway, it's your own flesh and blood, hit in the body, and the pain is in the father's heart, you can fight. ”

The saint was angry and funny, squinted his eyes and said: "In front of the courtiers, you counted the courtiers, I can't beat you yet?" The harem is not allowed to enter the main hall, didn't your mother teach you this palace rule? ”

Seeing that her father was going to pull A-Niang in, Xuan'er quit, raised her head and was about to say, when her mother came over and pressed her shoulder, and said softly:

"Yes, the concubine has already scolded her just now. The concubine said, in the Zichen Palace, that is the saint, you are a woman, you can't say anything. In the Mingyi Palace, this is the father, what do you have to say, but the daughter says it is okay. ”

"Not bad...... Well? ”

The saint was nodding in agreement, but when he heard it, he realized that Chao Meiren was still speaking for his daughter, and he couldn't take it back anymore after nodding his head, so he had to say:

"If you have a word, you can say it to your mother, and your father will forgive you not guilty."

Li Xuan'er was overjoyed, she held her parents with both arms, and grinned:

"Xuan'er will honor Aya and Niang, outside, I don't say a word, Aya comes back and asks Xuan'er something, I don't leave a word. Besides, I refuse to marry Zheng Hao, but it is also for you. ”

The father pointed at her with his finger and said to Chao Mei: "Listen, give her some color, and she will open a dyeing workshop." I made trouble unreasonably, but I said it was for me. ”

Xuan'er was not in a hurry, and said slowly:

"Think about it, if I don't marry Zheng Hao, the Zheng family will marry the Lu family, and the strength of the two of them is enough to compete with the Li family in Longxi. Now, the Li family is prosperous in the court, don't you need the alliance of Lu and Zheng to check and balance them?

As for Bai Xianggong...... He is not from the scholar clan, but he has won your favor through the fame of his cousin Bai Juyi, and he naturally hopes that these scholar clans will lose both sides and become weak.

Father, it's not Xuan'er who is willful, this marriage is fundamentally disadvantageous and not beneficial. ”

Shengshang was taken aback, he didn't expect his fifteen-year-old daughter to have these insights. Pingsu only knew that she was well-behaved and obedient and didn't cause trouble, but she didn't know that she still had hills and valleys.

"Xuan'er has grown up, and the days when she can accompany Aya A-Niang in the palace are getting fewer and fewer, Xuan'er doesn't want anything now, she just wants her grandmother to live a long life, which is Xuan'er's blessing."

Li Xuan'er, who has experienced the ruin of the country and the death of the family, said sincerely.
