Chapter 3 The heart of the palace is sincere in asking for marriage

On the fourth watch, Su Junyan woke up from his sleep. He kissed the soft woman in his arms, the corners of his mouth raised, and he couldn't help but laugh.

The hibiscus tent was warm and springy, and for the first time in his life, he had the idea of not wanting to get up.

Li Zhenzhen also woke up and desperately drilled into his arms, "Brother Junyan, are you going to go to the early court?" ”

"I hope I don't go."

Li Zhenzhen smiled lightly, "Brother Junyan, go early and return early." ”

"Okay."

After saying that, even if thousands of people were unwilling, Su Junyan still got up, changed his clothes, and prepared to go to the morning court.

Li Zhenzhen looked at his departing back, and the bright smile on her face disappeared.

Su Junyan walked in a hurry, but he still remembered to tell Ah Li, the female guard guarding outside the house, to protect Princess Chang'an.

In the court, the emperor's eyes were slightly closed, listening to the words of the ministers below who were full of praise for the third prince Su Junyan, and secretly thought to himself.

Initially, when Su Junyan was first taken back to China, he looked down on this third son a little. After all, how can a proton sent to another country since he was a child become a talent without a special person to educate him?

Therefore, when he asked to enter the military camp, the emperor casually agreed, who knew that in just three years, he had made great achievements and became a famous young general in their Chu State.

The emperor had to admit that this time he was blind. He was a little curious, who did his third son meet and what kind of life did he live when he was hostage in Zhao State?

"Jun Yan, you are the commander of the Song Dynasty this time, and you have made great contributions, and your father must reward you well." The Emperor smiled, "If you have anything you want, you can say it with confidence." ”

Su Junyan smiled slightly, "It stands to reason that it is the duty of a son to serve the country, and he should have no desires or desires." But today, the sons have the courage to ask for their father, because what the sons ask for is really in love. ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. Hearing Su Junyan say this, the emperor was also interested. In the past three years, his third son has done a lot, said little, and has no desires, and it is rare to ask him for something today, which is curious.

Su Junyan knelt down and said slowly: "What the retainer asks for is the princess of Chang'an of the Song Kingdom-Li Zhenzhen."

Hearing this, the emperor felt that his son was making a fuss. It's just a princess of a dead country, since he has a heart, as the boss, he is directly included in the house, why bother to openly bring it up in the court.

Could it be that he wants to marry her as a concubine?

The emperor had also heard of Li Zhenzhen's deeds. It is said that she has the posture of a captivating city, and she can play the guqin well, and she can be regarded as a talented woman.

However, royal marriages are never based on appearance or talent, but on birth.

In fact, thinking about it, she is a princess of a country, and her birth is noble. It's just that at the moment when the Song Kingdom fell, everything about her was also destroyed.

"Jun Yan, do you know what you're talking about?" The emperor couldn't help but want to remind his third son that if he insisted on marrying Li Zhenzhen, he would lose something.

As a prince, marrying the princess of the dead country as his wife basically did not have the slightest help, but was easily burdened by it. Then that high and cold position, I am afraid that there will be no more opportunities.

Su Junyan said loudly, "Father, the son is not stupid or stupid, so he naturally knows what he is talking about. Erchen wants to use these three years of meager military exploits in exchange for a marriage with Princess Chang'an, and hopes that his father will be fulfilled. ”

As soon as his words came out, the ministers looked at each other and were all shocked. Is it that these three princes are crazy, or is it that Li Zhenzhen is really stunning, so that he would rather give up the noble daughter who can help him in the Chu State and be bent on marrying her?

Su Jun's words have come to this point, and the emperor is a little difficult to ride a tiger. After all, this son has made great achievements in war for three years, and today is the first time he has asked for a reward from himself, and it is not easy for him to refuse, whether as a king or as a father.

The emperor smiled, "Jun Yan, since you have made up your mind, my father naturally can't refuse." Lone will marry you and Chang'an Princess Li Zhenzhen today, and choose an auspicious day to complete the marriage. ”

Hearing this, the corners of Su Junyan's mouth rose, and his joy was unobstructed. Zhenzhen, I can finally marry you and go home.

Su Junnuo on the side also laughed, originally he really wanted to do something between Su Junyan and Li Zhenzhen, so he entered the palace yesterday to beg the queen and find a way to bring her to his side.

In this way, he can have a bargaining chip to hold Su Junyan, and he can keep such a stunning beauty by his side, which is not a loss.

But people are not as good as heaven, but I didn't expect Su Junyan to personally ask to marry Li Zhenzhen in the court today, which is equivalent to personally cutting off the possibility of winning the heir.

Such a result made Su Junnuo even more surprised.

In this way, his biggest opponent at present is the eldest prince Su Junling.

Not long after Su Junyan left the Three Princes' Mansion, the queen's edict was sent over, saying that Su Ri had heard of the good name of Princess Chang'an, and he sincerely invited him to meet him today.

Ah Li became vigilant, and always felt that the queen did not have any good intentions, and she unconsciously stood in front of Li Zhenzhen.

Li Zhenzhen's expression was as usual, and she smiled lightly at the servant who passed on the message, "I hope to tell the queen mother, and Zhenzhen will then enter the palace to meet her." ”

After the chamberlain left, Ah Li couldn't help but ask, "Princess, entering the palace like this, I always feel that something bad is going to happen." ”

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided. Since it was the queen's invitation, this encounter can't be avoided. Li Zhenzhen said lightly, "What's more, the ancients had clouds: blessings, disasters depend; Woe to you, blessing lurks. Perhaps, it is not a bad thing for me to go to the Chu State Palace. ”

Ah Li glanced at Li Zhenzhen, "Princess, in fact, the slave doesn't understand very well. ”

Hearing this, Li Zhenzhen smiled, "Sometimes, it's a good thing not to understand. ”

Under the guidance of the palace people, Li Zhenzhen came to the Minghuang Hall and saw the queen leaning on the chaise longue's couch.

Empress Murong Yanran, Chinese New Year's Eve, was once a princess of the Northern Han Dynasty. Although she is noble, her clothes are not gorgeous, but they have a bit of a simple taste. The light blue palace dress and simple ornaments completely outline her gentle beauty.

The Northern Han Dynasty is still blue, and it seems that Murong Yanran, who is a member of the Northern Han royal family, has not forgotten this custom.

Li Zhenzhen stepped forward and made a big salute, "I've seen the queen." ”

The queen looked at her and said lightly: "Raise your head and let the palace take a good look at you."

Hearing this, Li Zhenzhen raised her head and looked at the queen with a faint smile on her face.

They just looked at each other like that, and didn't speak for a long time. In the end, it was the queen who broke the silence, "What a beautiful woman who has captivated the country and the city, she will definitely be a successful red face and troubled water." ”

Li Zhenzhen laughed, "The words of the queen's mother, Zhen Zhen dare not agree. ”

"Oh?" The queen's expression was as usual, "Let's let the palace listen." ”

"In Zhen Zhen's view, a red face cannot bring disaster to the country, but a hero can live a lonely life." She replied without humility or arrogance, "From ancient times to the present, once a hero fails, he will inevitably put the reason on the head of Hongyan, which is really a good excuse." From then on, the hero is still the same hero, but the red face is destined to be infamous through the ages. ”

Hearing this, the queen laughed, "Princess Chang'an is really good." ”

"Zhen Zhen doesn't dare."

Suddenly, the queen's words changed, "Princess Chang'an, do you know why this palace announced your entry into the palace today?" ”
