Chapter 4 The Wood Shows in the Forest

Feng Huanlai Teahouse is a famous reception house in Beijing, located in the center of the Beijing's business district, and the imperial city is only ten miles away.

The teahouse has eight floors, the first to second floors are public areas, the third to sixth floors are private rooms, and the seventh to eighth floors are VIP areas.

Every day, Lifeng is still a constant flow of passengers, crowds of people, especially on the first and second floors, or ordinary people resting, or rich and noble sons to entertain, or there are swordsmen and swordsmen to discuss the law, or there are inquiring about business news, all gathered here, three or three twos and two to sit down, just wait for the tea to be served, and the topic will be there.

And the most talked about thing in the capital recently is that the emperor wants to marry the Shentu family.

This matter has not yet been officially announced, but it has been rumored among the people, with noses and eyes.

From the prince's officials to the peddlers' pawns, they were all talking about the news, and all parties were ready to move.

"Have you heard, the emperor intends to marry the Shentu family?"

"Hey, you just know, this news has been spread for half a month!"

"Isn't it time for the Shentu Yi clan to 'choose a family at the age of fifteen', why is the royal family in a hurry?"

In the private room on the third floor, several brightly dressed boys gathered at a table, one holding a folding fan with a picture of a lady, drinking tea and chatting in the sea.

In addition to a purple sand teapot, four celadon cups and a stove for water, there are also a plate of brine dried beans, a plate of oily peanuts, a plate of osmanthus cake and a plate of chive crispy rolls on the table.

The one wearing the purple robe is Sima Yun, the old son of the general Sima Tong, the other white robe is Jiang Lang, the second son of Jiang Guoan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Liu Bingzhi, the son of Taifu, is wearing a green shirt.

"Listen to what my old man said, the emperor is about to start attacking Hongmeng Valley!" Sima Yun drank a cup of tea without even bringing a product: "Who called the Shentu family to give birth to a female doll in this generation, the Shentu family is destined to come to an end!" ”

Jiang Lang put out four peanuts and said carefully: "This is indeed a good opportunity, now the emperor has four sons, the eldest prince Nangong Oak is over twenty, the second prince Nangong Yao is sixteen, the third prince Nangong Qing is only eleven years old, and the fourth prince Nangong Jie is even more infant." Looking at it this way, the chances of the third prince Nangong Qing are indeed much greater, and probably the emperor will point out Shentu Jiaonu to the third prince! ”

"What Brother Jiang said is extremely true!" Sima Yun nodded: "My old man thinks so too!" ”

"But in this way, I am afraid that the position of the crown prince of our Dali Kingdom will be known soon!" Jiang Lang took out one of the largest and fullest peanuts from the four grains and waved it in front of the two: "Wait and see!" ”

Liu Bingzhi still smelled the fragrance of tea and was silent, only listening quietly to the two of them.

"Could it be that marrying Shentu is the key to whether you can win the position of prince?" Sima Yun was suddenly stunned, he didn't expect this relationship before, "Didn't the eldest prince and the fourth prince lose the opportunity?" He asked.

Jiang Lang said: "That's not going to happen, although the eldest prince has already married a wife, there is still a chance!" However, the four princes are afraid that they will not be able to return to heaven at the moment, but the biological mother of the eldest prince and the fourth prince is Xia Guifei, who is honored and favored, and she must be unwilling, and she will definitely think of letting the eldest prince enter the competition for the crown prince. ”

"Heh-speaking of which, this little girl of the Shentu family is inevitably going to become a royal pawn!" Sima Yun smiled, but it was really an interesting story.

"It's too early to say that!" Liu Bingzhi, who had been silent, smiled and drank a cup of tea that had been blown for a long time: "Will the Shentu family be willing to be a chess piece?" Obviously not, the royal marriage, I'm afraid it won't go well this time! ”

"yes, but it's a pity!" Jiang Lang also sighed.

"What a pity?" Sima Yun didn't reflect.

Jiang Lang shook his head: "It's a pity that the paradise of the Hongmeng Valley is going to be destroyed!" When I was a child, I used to be a guest in the valley with my grandfather, and the scenery in the valley is still unforgettable! ”

"More beautiful than the palace?" Sima Yun didn't believe it.

"The difference between clouds and mud!" Jiang Lang said: "After you go to see it, you can know why the Emperor of the Great Li Kingdom has coveted Hongmeng Valley for a long time!" ”

"The big crisis in Hongmeng Valley is coming!" Liu Bingzhi said firmly: "Whether you agree or refuse, both roads are dead ends, and there is no life at all!" ”

"The wood is beautiful in the forest - the wind will destroy it!" Jiang Lang echoed: "This is an eternal truth! ”

There is talk of the marriage between the royal family and the Shentu family everywhere in the capital, and Shentu Jingyao, as one of the protagonists, is still nibbling on big steamed buns in the Lingkong Temple thousands of miles away.

She laboriously nibbled on the hard steamed buns, and scolded her with a smile to watch her eat: "It is said that there is no wind and no waves, and the rumors are also well-founded, there is really a problem with the fasting in Lingkong Temple, little monk - your conscience is very bad!" Miss Ben doesn't believe you anymore! ”

"You can also choose not to eat it!" Empty words are said like this, the eyes are smiling but I don't know it, watching this little fat girl eat makes him feel a sense of satisfaction, it seems that it is a very proud thing to make her stop eating snacks and eat well.

Shentu Jingyao touched her cooing belly, and had to take a big bite of food, she still secretly cursed in her heart that she had no conscience, and she also divided her heart to look forward to Qibo's return soon!
