The next morning, Zhang Yue was dressed in women's clothes, and slipped out of Zhang's house from the back door and went to Li's house, although the porter of Li's house knew that Zhang Yue was a woman, but Zhang Yue had always shown people in men's clothes, and had never worn women's clothes in Li's house.

She entered the Li Mansion and went straight to the courtyard of the Liu family in the back house, just in time for Li Dongyang to rest and rest in the courtyard of his wife, Zhang Yue saw his senior brother and sister-in-law, and said with a sad face, "Senior brother, sister-in-law!" ”

Li Dongyang glanced at her and remained silent. Liu took Zhang Yue's hand with concern, "Little Wu, how to dress up today, it's really beautiful!" I haven't come to see my sister-in-law for a long time, and I forgot about my sister-in-law. ”

Zhang Yue hurriedly said, "How dare Xiao Wu!" It's been a bit of a ..... lately. Busy, didn't I come today? Saying that, he looked at Li Dongyang pitifully.

Li Dongyang opened his mouth at this time, "Say, what happened?" ”

Zhang Yue said pitifully, "Senior brother, you have to help me this time, my uncle and aunt said that my parents are going to marry me to someone else." ”

Li Dongyang's face changed, and he looked at Zhang Yue, and Liu was also surprised, "When did it happen?" To whom? ”

Zhang Yue said, "It is the youngest son of Zhao Shan, the head of the Ministry of Rites, named Zhao Hequan." I met at my uncle's house yesterday, and said that I was going to get a lottery after closing the eight characters? What should I do? ”

Li Dongyang said, "I know this Zhao Shan, he is more upright, he has been an official for many years, and his official style is not bad, and he is also relatively harmonious in the back house, and his youngest son seems to have won the promotion last year, and he is also a young man, and he is good with you!" ”

Zhang Yue hurriedly said, "No matter how good he is, it has nothing to do with me, because I don't want to marry?!" ”

Liu also said at this time, "Xianggong, I am looking at Xiao Wu for this matter, although our Xiao Wu has reached the age of marriage, but we must be the person Xiao Wu likes to marry!" ”

Zhang Yue said, "Yes, my sister-in-law knows me best!" If you don't like it, I won't marry him. ”

At this time, a familiar voice came from outside, "Why did the king of heaven come out?" ”

Everyone looked at the voice, and saw Yuan Mo wearing a purple coat, walking in in a dashing manner, and naturally sat next to Zhang Yue, "You have been hiding for several days, why are you so bold as soon as you appear?" ”

Zhang Yue glanced at him and ignored him.

Liu said, "Yuan Mo is here, we are helping Xiao Wu come up with an idea, Xiao Wu's parents are a marriage for Xiao Wu." ”

The smile on Yuan Mo's face froze and looked at Zhang Yue, "Are you going to get married?" ”

Zhang Yue said, "What? Ahead of you, envy? ”

Yuan Mo said, "Really? Who did your parents promise you? ”

Li Dongyang looked at the two of them and took over the conversation, "Xiao Wu's parents want to give Xiao Wu to the youngest son who is in charge of the Ministry of Rites as his wife. ”

Yuan Mo asked Zhang Yue nervously, "You..... Do you want to get married?"

Zhang Yue said, "Ghosts are like marrying?!" That's why I'm here today to ask you to help figure out a way? ”

Yuan Mo's face relaxed slightly, "I have a way." ”

Zhang Yue looked at him in surprise, "What way?" ”

Yuan Mo said, "Escape from marriage! ”

Zhang Yue glanced at him, "No, if you run away from marriage, it will hurt the hearts of your parents and uncle." I wasn't with them for many years, and now if I run away from marriage, I can't get over it. ”

Yuan Mo shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "Then there is only one way." ”

Zhang Yue's eyes were full of expectation, "What way?" Say it! ”

Yuan Mo said cynically, "You don't want to marry that person, your parents let you marry, and you don't want to run away from marriage and hurt your parents, so I have to be wronged, and I'll marry you." ”

And Zhang Yue glanced at Yuanmo as if he had heard some joke of the century, "What are you kidding, you are my brother, how can you marry your own brother!" Can you come up with a solid idea! ”

Yuan Mo's face instantly became ugly, and his eyes quickly flashed with an imperceptible trace of disappointment and injury. Li Dongyang looked at Yuan Mo's eyes and said,

"Don't worry, maybe the two of you don't agree, and this matter will be over."

Zhang Yue sighed, "I have to hope so." ”

——————————————

That night, in the study room of the Mingde Hall of the East Palace, Zhu Youzhu sat on the side of the bookcase, Li Dongyang, Xiao Jing and Mu Bin stood at the bottom, Zhu Youzhu said,

"Wan Guifei suggested to her father that she choose the crown princess for solitary selection, and today my father has officially decreed that the Ministry of Rites will host this matter."

Xiao Jing said, "What is the purpose of Concubine Wan's move? Could it be that there is some conspiracy to harm His Highness? ”

Li Dongyang pondered for a while and said, "I don't see it, but it looks like a gesture of favor to His Highness." ”

Xiao Jing was stunned, "Show goodwill!?" ”

Li Dongyang said, "Yes, after the Taishan earthquake, everyone knows that the status of the prince of His Royal Highness is allowed and protected by God, and His Royal Highness's position in the court is becoming more and more stable. ”

Xiao Jing said disdainfully, "Hmph! Zhang Luo chose the crown princess for His Royal Highness, thinking that he could please His Highness! What a joke! ”

Mu Bin didn't speak for a long time, and suddenly said at this time, "Just Zhang Luo's selection of concubines really has no practical effect, but what if she marries His Royal Highness?" ”

Zhu Youjiao's eyes flashed, and he said calmly, "It seems that the first batch of dark guards trained by Uncle Ji has achieved results." Mu Bin, tell me about the news of the secret guard's investigation! ”

Mu Bin lowered his head and said, "Yes, the secret guard sent out by Chief Manager Ji has just sent news that Wan Guifei asked her brother Wan Xi's daughter Wan Xiu'er to also participate in the selection of concubines. At this time, he is doing everything possible to inquire about His Highness's various preferences on weekdays. ”

Xiao Jing said, "Concubine Wan Guifei thought so beautifully, she stretched out her claws to the position of the crown princess of our East Palace." ”

Li Dongyang's face was slightly gloomy, and he said, "With Concubine Wangui's status in the emperor's heart, it is not impossible for her wishful thinking to start." ”

When the others heard this, they were silent.

There was no trace of ripples on Zhu Youzhang's face, but he slowly took out a string of crystal clear beads from his arms, put it in the palm of his hand and gently rolled it, and a comfortable coolness flowed down the palm of his hand to Zhu Youzhang's heart.

Li Dongyang inadvertently raised his head, just saw the bead string in Zhu Youzhang's hand, his body shook slightly, and then he was afraid that Zhu Youzhu would see it, so he quickly lowered his head and stared at the ground.

After Zhu Youzhu was silent for a moment, he broke the silence, "Dongyang." In this selection of concubines, the will of the father is that the Ministry of Rites and the celebrant are fully responsible for the selection of concubines. The selection of the crown prince's concubine and the wedding should be the responsibility of the Department of Etiquette and Etiquette, right? ”

Li Dongyang's face changed slightly, he looked up at Zhu Youjiao, the prince's eyes were as bright and dazzling as the stars in the sky, his head was running fast, his recent promotion was ...... the current concubine, could it be that His Royal Highness had already expected ......, so he had asked him to go to the Ministry of Rites and Ceremonies to be Langzhong, and after thinking quickly, he hurriedly replied,

"Back to Your Highness, the prince's selection of concubines and weddings are indeed the responsibilities of the Department of Etiquette."

Zhu Youzhu nodded, "Well, you can handle this matter." If you have any questions, you can find the celebrant and the eunuch Qin Ji. ”

Li Dongyang hurriedly said, "Yes, the minister obeys the order." ”

"Well, let's all go down." The three of them bowed down and were about to withdraw, but Li Dongyang stopped his figure and turned around.

"Your Highness, the minister still has some things to tell His Highness."

Zhu Youzhu nodded and motioned for Mu Bin and Xiao Jing to go out first.
