In the imperial study, Li Xuan's father and daughter, who came to face the saint, were given seats, but the saint read the music in his hand unhurriedly, and then looked up at the two people who were sitting in danger, and then smiled, beckoned to Li Zhu'er and said, "Zhu'er, come here." ”

Li Zhuer obediently walked to the emperor's side and gave a blessing.

"Clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving. The pearls are getting more and more watery. The emperor touched Li Zhu'er's head and said with a smile, "Come and talk to me, but which son is lucky enough to be favored by Zhu'er?" ”

Li Zhu'er blushed suddenly, and her squirming appearance was not as flamboyant and domineering as usual, which made the emperor laugh three times, pinched her face, and said: "Looking at you like this, you must have a sweetheart." I and your father have long been sworn brothers, I am your imperial uncle, who do you fancie, tell the imperial uncle, the imperial uncle is in charge with you! ”

Li Zhu'er lowered her head shyly, reached out and dialed the green silk in front of her forehead a little overwhelmed, and whispered: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince......"

This sound was as thin as a mosquito and a fly, but it still clearly reached the ears of the emperor and Li Xuan.

Li Xuan was in a hurry, got up and reprimanded, "Presumptuous!" Li Zhu'er, who had never seen her father really angry, was stunned.

"Brother-in-law! What are you doing! The emperor protected Li Zhu'er and shouted to Li Xuan reproachfully, "Zhu'er has often come to the palace to play since she was a child, and she is a childhood sweetheart with Heng'er, why not?" ”

"Your Majesty, the little girl is stubborn, I'm afraid she is not worthy of the third prince-"

"If I say it's worthy, it's worthy!" The emperor's face turned pale, and he was obviously already a little angry.

Li Zhu'er, who came back to her senses, also cried aggrievedly at this time, with two lines of tears on her face, and shouted pitifully: "Dad-"

"Zhu'er doesn't cry." The emperor stretched out his hand to help Li Zhu'er wipe her tears, and said warmly, "I'm crying, Heng'er will dislike you for a while!" ”

Hearing this, Li Zhu'er couldn't help but burst into tears and smiled.

"You go to Yonghe Palace to see Heng'er first, and the holy decree of my marriage will arrive later."

"Emperor Xie!" Li Zhu'er's tears on her face had not dried, but she was already smiling.

Li Xuan, who watched Li Zhu'er out of the imperial study with the emperor, looked at the Son of Heaven standing in front of him with his hands in his hands, his brows were tightly locked, and he was silent.

"Aiqing," and the others walked away, and the emperor paced back into the house, and his tone gradually sank, "If you have something to say, say it." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister said it directly. The little girl was overindulged by the ministers, childlike and ignorant of the world, and it may be difficult to gain a foothold in the palace. ”

"Heng'er is my favorite candidate for the crown prince, isn't it enough for Zhu'er to gain a foothold in the palace?" The emperor didn't seem to understand what Li Xuan meant, and said lightly.

"Your Majesty! Forgive the ministers for courage, the harem has never been a peaceful place-" Li Xuan still gritted his teeth and said.

"Li Xuan! You're so daring. The emperor flicked his sleeves and shouted angrily, "You are careless in your words and deeds, I don't care about you for the sake of Zhu'er today." Stand down. ”

"Your Majesty's kindness, Xuan is unforgettable!" Li Xuan glared at the emperor angrily, gritted his teeth and said.

The emperor was not angry, he only turned his back and ignored Li Xuan, who strode away from here with anger.

Li Zhuer went to Yonghe Palace with full joy and shyness, where was the third prince who grew up with her childhood sweetheart, and she secretly liked her sweetheart for more than ten years.

When I arrived at Yonghe Palace, I heard a little eunuch say that a Shen Gongzi was seeing the third prince.

"Ah Heng is sick?" When Li Zhu'er heard this, she hurriedly rushed into Bai Heng's bedroom.

Bai Heng's health was much better, and he was sitting at the table at this moment, Shen Fengjiu's peach blossom branch was on his wrist, and he was checking his pulse.

Suddenly broke into a Li Zhu'er, causing everyone in the room to look at her.

Li Zhu'er glanced at the room, and suddenly looked at a palace maid standing beside Shen Fengjiu suspiciously: "Lu Zhaoling? ”

Fortunately, Shen Fengjiu never let anyone else in the house when he saw a doctor, and the little eunuch did not follow Li Zhu'er into the hall.

"Shh Lu Zhaoling was still startled, and hurriedly silenced her.

"What's wrong?" Li Zhu'er was also taken aback by Lu Zhaoling's reaction, and couldn't help but speak angrily, "Are you here to see Ah Heng?" How to sneak around? ”

"It's a long story," Lu Zhaoling was puzzled......

"Then let's not talk about it yet." Li Zhu'er replied simply, and then ran to Bai Heng's side, "Ah Heng, what's wrong with you?" What's going on? Is there anything else going on? ”

"It's much better." Bai Heng smiled, "Are you here to visit Concubine Shu in the palace today?" ”

"It's not...... I...... Hey. Li Zhu'er squirmed shyly, "Today, His Majesty suddenly summoned me to the palace with my father...... I don't know how. ”

Lu Zhaoling originally wanted to laugh at Li Zhu'er for learning to be shy, but when she said this, she became worried again: "The emperor summoned you to the palace?" Have you ever seen the emperor? ”

"I've seen it." Li Zhu'er said with a smirk.

Lu Zhaoling breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Zhu'er's reaction like this: "It seems that the emperor didn't blame you, that's good." ”

"What do you blame me?" Li Zhu'er said blankly.

"You really don't know anything." Lu Zhaoling smiled, "You seem to be very happy, what's the happy event?" ”

Li Zhu'er looked like she couldn't hold back, glanced at Bai Heng, lowered her head again, and held back the joy in her heart: "I, I didn't expect that there would be such a good thing......"

At this moment, a long voice came from outside the hall-

"The holy decree has arrived-pass on the third prince Bai Heng, and Li Zhu'er, the general of Zhenguo's mansion, come and receive the decree quickly——"

This sudden holy decree made Bai Heng stunned, but before he could think about it, Li Zhu'er grabbed his arm and walked happily outside the hall: "Let's go, Ah Heng, let's go and receive the decree!" ”

Bai Heng felt irritable in his heart for no reason, and vaguely had a bad premonition.

The eunuch who delivered the decree glanced at the two people who knelt down to receive the decree, and said in a long voice: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says: Li Zhu'er, the daughter of Li Xuan, the general of Zhenguo, is graceful and generous, gentle and generous, and has outstanding appearance, and I am very happy to hear it. The third son of the emperor is sixteen years old, and when he ties his hair, when he is suitable for marriage, he should choose a virtuous woman to match. In order to become a beautiful woman, Li Zhuer will be the third son of the emperor as a concubine. Chin—this—"

Li Zhu'er looked at Bai Heng with joy, but saw him with a look of disbelief and surprise, and then suddenly looked at Lu Zhaoling, who was standing at the gate of the hall far away.

"Ah Heng......?"

Li Zhu'er looked at the two people in front of her, and suddenly felt breathless, a kind of dazed and heartache that she had never experienced surged, she only felt empty in her mind, and involuntarily grabbed Bai Heng's sleeve in her hand.

Bai Heng, who was called by Li Zhu'er, came back to his senses and looked at Li Zhu'er, who was kneeling side by side with him.

He eased his nerves, restrained the confusion and anger in his heart, reached out and gently covered one of Li Zhu'er's hands, and said gently: "Zhu'er, I generally understand the original intention of my father's marriage this time, and it is related to the situation in the palace. But rest assured, I will never let this matter implicate you. You just wait, and I'll go to my father. ”
