Gu Zelin hurried after them and went to the house to talk, Song Yao said, "You plan to go back tomorrow, right?" ”

Gu Zelin nodded, "Yes, I have been out for so many days, and my family has been worried, thinking about going back early and telling the family the good news, just to prepare for tomorrow's departure." ”

Song Yao said, "Not for the time being, I'm afraid I'll have to stay in Beijing for a few more days." ”

As soon as he heard this, Tiankuo became anxious, and he didn't even care about the rules, so he went past Gu Zelin and spoke directly.

"Uncle Song, dare to ask what's going on?"

Song Yao said, "There are two princesses in the emperor, the eldest princess is twenty years old this year, and she should have been married to a family affair a long time ago, but the son of this court official's family, the concubine Niangniang can't look down on all of them, this has just ended the scientific examination, and the concubine Niangniang begged the emperor to choose a good match for the princess from among the students of this year's scientific examination, so the emperor ordered that before the princess does not see each other, you can not leave the capital, just so that the princess can pick a suitable horse." ”

Tiankuo immediately became anxious, "Uncle, I have already made up my family, I will only marry his sister alone in this life, I can't marry someone else, since it has nothing to do with me, why can't I leave the capital?" ”

Song Yao didn't want him to leave quickly, if he stayed in the capital for a day, Song Yao wouldn't be able to sleep well for a day, he had been boiled up these days, and his face was bad.

It's just that the emperor gave an order, how dare he disobey? If he quietly let Tiankuo go, and then check it out, he was afraid that the emperor would be even more suspicious, so he would never dare to act rashly at this time.

"Tiankuo, don't worry, you listen to me first, what does the emperor mean, is to let you students stay, to pick a good one among them, you have already decided on the family matter, this matter does not matter, for the royal family, it is a blessing to be selected, if you directly say that you have no heart for the princess at this time, then you don't look down on the royal people?"

"Uncle understands your mind, you are a single-minded person, you already have someone in your heart, how can you want to look at others anymore, but this matter has to come slowly, don't go against the emperor, you just won the top prize, when the limelight is in full swing, if you don't give the emperor a son like this, I'm afraid you will cause big trouble."

"I already know your intentions, so I will naturally help from it, there will be no big deal, but you have to stay in Beijing for a few more days, understand?"

Song Yao said so, what else can Tiankuo say? You can't always force people to help, and besides, he doesn't dare to leave Beijing casually.

Just like Song Yao said, this is a big crime of disrespect, if he is punished alone, it doesn't matter, anyway, it is impossible for him to marry any princess.

But if it affects his family and the Lin family, then he will be to blame, so whether he wants to or not, he can only stay in the capital and wait for the princess to choose a good horse before leaving Beijing.

As a result, it will be delayed for several more days.

Song Yao and Jiang came over at night to tell them about it, otherwise, they would leave tomorrow morning, and they were afraid that they would not be able to catch up with them.

After saying this, Song Yao and Jiang were about to go back, and when they walked to the courtyard, Jiang turned around and said a few words to Tiankuo.

"Don't worry, uncle and aunt will definitely help you, and they will definitely not let you choose, Tiankuo, we all understand your heart for his son, there are few lovers in this world, and even fewer are single-minded, how can your aunt make you embarrassed? We'll all think about it, don't be in such a hurry. ”

Tiankuo nodded, "Thank you, aunt." "Book House

He bowed deeply and sent Song Yao and Jiang away, and the father and son sat together, looking at each other without saying a word.

After a while, Tian Kuo said, "Dad, no matter what, I won't do anything about the horse, I will definitely marry her sister, I will only marry her alone in this life, this is what I promised her a long time ago." ”

Gu Zelin said, "Dad understands, Dad also believes that you can do it, now we must not act rashly, just now Master Song was right, whether you want to or not, since the emperor has ordered, we have to stay in the capital, and we can only leave Beijing when this matter is settled, it is estimated that it will take several days, you can wait with peace of mind, don't think too much." ”

The rash on Tiankuo's face was almost better, after all, he was about to go home, and Jiang didn't take any more medicine on him, and of course he would gradually get better.

Tiankuo didn't know that there were other reasons for this, and he really thought that he was unaccustomed to the soil and water, so he touched his face and sighed.

"It would be nice if there was a rash again at this time, and it would be better to have a face all over it, so that the princess would be afraid when she looked at me, how could she take a fancy to me?"

Gu Zelin smiled, "This is a good idea, let's wait and see, if we really want to let the princess look at each other, let's think of a way to see if we can make you have some rashes on your body, it is best to scare people, how about it?" ”

Gu Zelin and Tiankuo both knew that this new champion was the easiest to be selected as a colt, and there were many colts who were new champions in the past.

The emperor said that he was selected from this year's students, but his selection may be very large, and besides, Tiankuo is really good, and the height is also top-notch among the group, and it is good in all aspects, if it really makes the princess take a fancy to it, then it will not be able to get out.

Regardless of whether you are married or not, the princess has taken a fancy to you, can you still refuse?

If you really don't put the emperor's baby girl in your eyes, then wait to be cleaned up by the emperor, it is good to strip the reputation of the champion, if you don't do it well, maybe you will have to lose your life, that is too worthless.

Tiankuo can't go, and he can't sit still, he has been thinking about a way, how to make his princess look down on him.

At this time, there is another person in the palace who is worried about this matter.

The emperor has been on the throne for many years, but there are not many heirs, and now there are only three princes.

The eldest prince was born to the first queen, and after giving birth to the eldest prince, the queen went within two years, leaving the eldest prince alone in this world and raised by a nurse, so the emperor cared more about him.

When he was sick, the emperor took care of him personally, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the emperor liked this eldest son the most.

And the second prince was born to today's concubine, and the eldest princess is a twin, and his body is not as weak as the eldest prince, but he is a little stupid, although he has spent a lot of effort, but he still doesn't have much ability, there are many people around him who support him, but there is no improvement, and it is estimated that it is a little difficult to let him compete for the throne.

And it is clear that the emperor does not expect much from him.

The third prince is still young, now he is only fourteen years old, and his mother's family is not obvious, so he has the least advantage.
