Although the king of Qinghe said that he didn't care about the choice of the princess of the county, it was also based on the choice of the young lady of the capital family, and he never thought that he would marry a woman with a humble status.

The crown prince knew that the king of Qinghe was quite sensitive to the matter of identity.

He thought for a moment, and breathed a rare sigh of relief.

"You go see it first, if it really doesn't work, that's it." He said, "It's just that there is only one way in this palace now." ”

"You only know that Li Zhiyuan is now a squire, but this palace knows that your imperial grandfather has already belonged to him for the position of Shangshu, as long as there is no accident, he is the new official Shangshu."

"Now in the hands of this palace, there are the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment, and your Uncle Ping Wang has the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Soldiers, these two are already better than this palace, you should know."

The Ministry of Household is in charge of the territory, land, household registration, taxation, salaries, and all financial matters of the country, and the Ministry of War is in charge of the national military guard, the selection and appointment of military attachés, and the concise decrees are more useful than the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment.

And the ministry, in charge of the bureaucracy, if it can be used by the prince, it is tantamount to adding a powerful boost.

"Therefore, this palace must let Li Zhiyuan be used by this palace." The crown prince said, looking at the king of Qinghe, "Do you understand?" ”

If the king of Qinghe County still doesn't understand at this time, then he is a fool.

It's just that he is very unhappy in his heart.

"Why is it a son-in-law?" He said dissatisfiedly, "Father, you can completely let the fifteenth aunt marry into the Li Mansion, so that Li Shilang still has to be used by you?" ”

are all relatives, so naturally they are people in the same boat, and no one wants to get rid of the relationship.

The prince shook his head.

"No." He said, "Your fifteenth aunt's marriage is decided by your imperial grandfather. He wouldn't let Fifteen marry someone she didn't like. ”

He knew that his fifteenth sister was still thinking about Zhou Yunzhen, and if he hadn't persuaded and threatened him last time, the fifteenth sister would never let go and let her father cancel the marriage.

At this time, if she is asked to marry Li Fu, she will definitely not agree.

The king of Qinghe said in a low voice: "Erchen...... Erchen also didn't like Li Shilang's niece. ”

He was a little lost.

There is really a big difference between being favored and not being favored, like his fifteenth aunt, whoever the imperial grandfather likes will let whoever she likes be her concubine, even Zhou Yunzhen is no exception.

Although Zhou Yunzhen finally got rid of this marriage, she has to admit that this incident caused Zhou Yunzhen a lot of trouble.

And he can't be as willful as Aunt Fifteen.

"You haven't seen it, so you know you don't like it?" The prince looked at him, "Qinghe, this palace won't force you this time, you go to meet people first, if you like it, you can marry, if you don't like it, it's fine." It's just that you are bound to have a good relationship with the Li Mansion. ”

The king of Qinghe County breathed a sigh of relief.

It's okay to make friends, let him take a wife, no.

"Erchen knows." He saluted and said, "The son will not live up to his father's trust." ”

The prince nodded slightly.

He looked at his son, who had not paid attention to him for many years, and his expression was still faint.

"Your imperial grandfather asked the palace today, saying that you have been seriously reflecting these days." He said.

King Qinghe looked at him suspiciously.

I thought this matter was over, but I didn't expect to bring it up again at this moment.

The crown prince glanced at him: "This palace has already told your imperial grandfather that you have already made a mistake." ”

The king of Qinghe said in a low voice.

His Majesty asked, no matter how he didn't dare to be stubborn and make His Majesty angry.

"Thank you, father, for speaking for your son." He said gratefully.

"It's nothing." The prince poured a glass of water and felt that it was hot, so he put the cup down and let it cool.

"Your imperial grandfather said that you should go to the Dingguo Mansion to apologize to Zhou Yunzhen." He said lightly, "The ceremony has been prepared, and you will go with the palace tomorrow." ”

This tone cannot be denied.

"Father! Erchen ......"

The king of Qinghe County wanted to say something, but was stared at coldly by the prince: "If you want to make your imperial grandfather angry, don't go, the palace won't say much." ”

His Majesty was already angry at what the King of Qinghe County had done, and if there was no intercession from the prince, I am afraid that the King of Qinghe County would be disgusted by His Majesty and punish him.

The king of Qinghe had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

……

……

On the second day, the king of Qinghe followed behind the prince and came to the Dingguo Mansion with several large boxes of gifts.

Zhou Jie, the Duke of Dingguo, heard the news and came out to greet him.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" He looked at the crown prince in front of him and the king of Qinghe behind him in surprise, as well as the big box carried by the guards who followed.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, what does this mean?" He asked.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled gently.

"These are some gadgets that Hongu gave to the prince." He said, looking at the house, "Where is the prince?" Is he available? ”

"What gadgets?"

Just as he was being asked, Zhou Yunzhen rushed out from behind the door, he had high hair today, was wearing a brown embroidered blue moire robe, and a piece of fine jade hung around his waist, looking like a handsome boy.

"His Royal Highness the Prince." He saluted, and then raised his eyebrows at the King of Qinghe, who was so angry that he gritted his teeth because of his appearance, with a fearless smug smile on his face.

"The prince is going out?" The prince asked with a smile.

"yes." Zhou Yunzhen said, "Xu Shizi invited me to Jufeng Building. ”

If you want to say who has the best relationship with the prince of Dingguo in the capital, it is the prince of Changping Hou Xu Value. Xu Wei is similar in age to Zhou Yunzhen, and his temperament is also the same as him, and they are all well-known in the capital for being fun-loving.

These two people get together, I'm afraid it's not a good thing.

The prince smiled.

"Your Highness, what gadget?" Zhou Yunzhen asked again, and bent her lips at the king of Qinghe, making her face black.

The King of Qinghe County glared at him deadly.

What kind of gadgets are not valuable things, otherwise, they would really be when their father has the leisure to send fun things to him.

This is not the first time such a thing has happened, but the king of Qinghe County is especially angry this time.

Zhou Yunzhen: He's cheap, and he's good!

"The son of the world will see it by looking at it." The prince said with a smile, turning his head to look at the king of Qinghe County.

Seeing that he was still angry, he couldn't help coughing twice and reminded sharply, "Qinghe, do you remember what this palace said yesterday?" ”

The king of Qinghe was pulled back to reality by the prince's warning.

He looked at Zhou Yunzhen, angry and helpless, so he had to obediently bow his head and hide his anger.

"Tsk, His Royal Highness the Prince, look at it, what is the attitude of the county king?" Zhou Yunzhen shook her head and sighed, "He sent someone to deal with me, and it was just a matter of injuring me, and I didn't know what was wrong." ”

"Your Highness, I'm really afraid. If one of them is accidentally targeted by the king of the county, then it is useless for me to have nine lives. ”

When he said yes, he trembled in fear, indicating that he was very afraid.

Dingguo Gong glared at him, then turned to look at the prince with a little apology.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this matter is still wrong with Yun Zhen, if it weren't for Yun Zhen always causing trouble, the King of Qinghe County would not have to beat people......

"Where is this just beating people......" Zhou Yunzhen also wanted to add the matter of "killing", but was glared at by Dingguo Gong and knew what he meant, so he didn't speak again.

However, he was still very unconvinced, and said to the prince aggrievedly: "Your Royal Highness the prince, you have to make the decision for me in this matter, I have been having a difficult time outside, and I have been repeatedly remembered by the king of the county, and batch after batch of people have been sent over...... I finally want to go back to Beijing. I was frightened by the king of the county, and I didn't dare to ......"

He told him what he had encountered, and he could hear that King Qinghe's face was getting worse and worse.

This week, Yunzhen really dares to say anything! I really can't eat a dark loss!

He should have killed him and never heard of it! lest he return to Beijing now and harm others!

"Qinghe, apologize." The prince said with a grim face.

Dingguo Gong sighed and slapped Zhou Yunzhen: "You kid, doesn't the king of the county just want to beat you a few times, you can't run, why bother to tell all these things!" ”

"Where is a few hits!" Zhou Yunzhen screamed at the top of her voice, "Dad, how can you help others speak, you don't care if your son is chased and beaten!" ”

After he finished speaking angrily, he looked at the prince and said in a pitiful tone, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feels sorry for me in the whole capital, and no one else helps me, even my father." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the kindest, I will go to be His Highness's son! ”

The prince twitched the corners of his mouth, startled by his words.
