"Uncle Dongyang Wang is polite, I am already a crippled person, which good girl would be willing to marry me, but the two sons of Uncle Dongyang Wang have both been born with talents, and they will definitely be able to win the hearts of many girls." Yuan Xun replied politely, not wanting to delve into this matter.

But the king of Dongyang obviously didn't plan to give up, he straightened the piping on his sleeves, and said: "What is this talking about, who doesn't know that King Shiping has always been famous, and those little girls in Han families, the favorite is someone like you who is good at reciting poetry, and everything else is a small problem." ”

Although the king of Dongyang also wore Hanfu today, there was a circle of animal hair on the piping, and the belt was still in the Xianbei style, although he did not openly disobey Yuan Hong's edict, but he still clearly expressed his dissatisfaction. He slid the back of his hand on the piping edge, raised his eyes and looked at Yuan Xian, and said, "Among the younger generation of our Tuoba clan, King Shiping is the best. If King Shiping chooses a girl, he will tell everyone, and others will know that there is no need to bother with this girl. ”

Yuan Xian's heart knew that the words of King Dongyang were obviously praising him, but in fact, every sentence alluded to the emperor's new policy of sinicization. If he, the emperor's most trusted brother, refused to marry a Han concubine, it would be difficult to implement the new policy effectively.

When he was in a dilemma, a slightly hoarse female voice sounded in the corner: "His Royal Highness the King of Dongyang, in fact, King Shiping already has a favorite candidate for the concubine." Yuan Xian followed the voice and looked over, Li Rongyu was standing up from the last seat and slowly walked in front of the emperor. I don't know if I have started taking drugs to cause the illusion of illness, Li Rongyu's face is a little yellow, and his eyes are not as smart and radiant as before.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Dongyang, in fact, this matter shouldn't be talked about now, but since you asked, it's better to simply find out." Li Rongyu knelt down towards Yuan Hong and said slowly, "The emperor must still remember that when he was in Pingcheng, King Shiping once renovated his mansion and waited to marry a new princess, right?" This matter was later delayed because His Royal Highness King Shiping accidentally fell off a cliff......"

"Li Cairen!" Yuan Xian's face became extremely ugly, and there was some anger in his tone, and he hurriedly stopped her words. The private affairs of the two of them, how can they be said on such an occasion, it will not only damage the reputation of the imperial brother, but also make people suspect his motives for promoting sinicization.

"His Royal Highness King Shiping," Li Rongyu turned his head to look at him, his eyes were like a lake in late autumn, rippling, "If you really love someone, you shouldn't hide it, you don't want to say this, I'll say it for you." ”

Yuan Xian stood up suddenly, almost crossed the table in front of him, and walked directly to Li Rongyu, he caught a glimpse of the lively Dongyang King with cold eyes, so he suppressed his impulse, and said word by word: "Li Cairen, the marriage of the younger brother has its own arrangements, so you don't have to bother." ”

Li Rongyu looked directly into his eyes, and the words that came out of his mouth did not even pause: "King Shiping once hired the Li family to marry my fourth sister as the main concubine, but the fourth sister was still young at that time, so my father did not agree. After so many years, the fourth sister has already reached the age when she should get married, and she is just in time to marry His Royal Highness King Shiping. I heard that the Shiping Mansion in Luoyang City has not been fully built, but I don't think the fourth sister will mind. ”

Yuan Xian was stunned, he thought that Li Rongyu was going to say what was agreed between the two of them, but he didn't expect her to say such a thing.

Li Rongyu's gaze stayed between Yuan Xian's eyebrows for a long time, as if to smooth out the wrinkles in his eyebrows: "His Royal Highness King Shiping, the fourth sister has actually always loved you and wants to marry you as a concubine." If you also like her, you should take her wish as your own, do it for her, and make her heart feel relieved. ”

She was talking about the fourth lady of the Li family in every sentence, but Yuan Xian could hear that she was clearly talking about herself. She has always admired King Shiping and wants to marry him as a concubine. It's a pity that reality doesn't allow her to do this, so she can only choose another way, take King Shiping's wish as her own, do it for him, and make him feel relieved.

Yuan Hong didn't want to embarrass this younger brother, turned to him and asked: "Brother Xian, although I ordered the young Prince Xianbei to marry a Han family woman as a concubine, I still hope that you can marry a woman you really like. ”

"Your Majesty," without waiting for King Shiping to answer, Li Rongyu had already kowtowed, "His Royal Highness King Shiping is indeed happy with the fourth sister, and the matter of hiring in the past is also true, the emperor can summon the father and fourth sister of the concubine to inquire." After so many years, she realized that the fourth sister said that she didn't want to marry King Shiping, and she also wrote that Tibetan poem to ridicule, but in fact, it was just the little daughter's heart that wanted to attract his attention. Back then, maybe even Li Hanzhen himself didn't think through this. Everything that was inadvertently taken from the hands of the fourth sister will be returned after all.

"Brother Xian, you are the one who wants to marry the princess, and I want to listen to your thoughts." Yuan Hong insisted on getting an answer from King Shiping's mouth.

"Brother...... It is true that he is in love with the fourth miss of the Li family," Yuan Xian said calmly, as if someone was dragging him and forcing him to say these words, "I am willing to marry the fourth miss of the Li family as the main concubine." "After going around in circles, everything is back to square one, but it's completely different. I can't remember what year it was, but he opened the back door of the Pingwang Mansion, and saw the little girl who was not afraid of anything, and her eyes widened defiantly. He took off the hidden poem posted on the door, and deliberately intimidated her by mistake, he just wanted to see the little girl's scared appearance, but he didn't expect to see his eyes full of unconvinced.

If he hadn't gone around this scene, he would have liked the gentle and generous Li Hanzhen, and he would have raised eyebrows with her and was in harmony. But now, it is impossible for everything to return to the same origin, he has built a Xiao Tower with his own hands and locked his heart in it.

Yuan Hong nodded slightly, and said, "In this case, when it comes to the wedding, I will personally officiate the marriage for you." ”

"Your Majesty." Yuan Xian and Li Rongyu said the same thing in different positions, and they each turned around and returned to their places and sat down. Through the noisy and lively palace banquet, they could see each other, but they couldn't touch each other.

The king of Dongyang had nothing to say, and turned his head sideways to roll the beast hair that had just been straightened to one side, and then tufted it to the other side.

Feng Miao looked at Li Rongyu from a distance, only to feel that her eyebrows and eyes were clear and clear, and she couldn't see the slightest sadness. The person promised by King Shiping was her, and only by persuading her could King Shiping agree to marry someone else. She knew King Shiping, even more than himself, and knew that he would never want to become an obstacle to the new policy of sinicization because of his own personal feelings, so she made a decision for King Shiping. It turns out that if you love deeply, you can really let go and leave as if you had never loved.

After the palace banquet in Hualinyuan, the distant branch clans and low-grade palace concubines who stayed in Pingcheng in the past also moved to Luoyang one after another. Yuan Hong wanted to worship his ancestors in the imperial temple, officially announced to the world, and changed the national surname to "Yuan".

In the Zhu Zi Palace, Feng Qingzheng asked Yuye to check the new clothes for the ancestors prepared for the concubines of the palace, all of which were Hanfu styles with wide clothes and wide sleeves, and even the belts, rings, and silk shoes were all prepared.

Yuye said flatteringly on the side: "Niangniang, you are tired of preparing new clothes these days, and you want the slave to say, these things have always been handled by the Inner Sixth Bureau, why should Niangniang bother more?" ”

"The crown prince changed his clothes without authorization, which has already caused the emperor to be angry, and if the palace doesn't follow the emperor's wishes to save some for him, he, the prince, will really come to an end," Feng Qing's fingers brushed over the silk clothes, "These slippery and soft things really look good on the body, no wonder men like it, but why doesn't this palace like this kind of fox appearance of the demon tune, let's not dress our own clothes well?" ”

Yuye hurriedly spoke: "Of course, Xianbei's clothes are good." ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Feng Qing's mouth: "The strength of this palace is not in vain, you go and ask all the ladies of the palace to come to Zhu Zi Hall to get new clothes." Feng Miao, doesn't she like to use these demonic things to please the emperor, how can this palace please her this time? ”

Yuye went in response, and it didn't take long for the main mothers of each palace to come in person. Yuye handed them the entire set of clothes into their hands and asked them to carefully inspect them for damage. Even if the emperor had just been angry, Feng Qing was the queen after all, and the palace concubines took the clothes, and they didn't dare to check them in a big way, so they only said "Thank you for the clothes from the queen's mother", and handed them to the palace maids to put them away.

When it was Feng Miao's turn to pick up the clothes, it happened that someone from the Inner Sixth Bureau called Yu Xing and Su Wen to question, and she didn't worry about leaving Huai'er in Huayin Hall by herself, so she came to Zhu Zidian with him. Yuye carried a full set of goose-yellow dark clothes on a wooden tray and asked her to check if the clothes were damaged. Feng Miao didn't need to be perfunctory and polite to this queen mother, she let go of the hand holding her arms, and wanted to unfold the dress to see.

Feng Qing slowly paced to her side, leaned down to tease Huai'er: "What a cute little prince, no wonder the emperor likes it like the flesh of his heart." She wore an inch of armor, and the pointed head of the armor slashed against Huai'er's delicate face, as if unintentionally moved to his eyes.

Feng Miao put down the clothes in her hand, picked up her arms and took two steps back, looking at Feng Qing warily. She knew how Feng Qing had killed Sister Ying, so she was extra careful when she approached Huai'er, if she really stabbed Huai'er with her armor, no matter how severely the emperor punished her afterwards, Huai'er's injury would be useless.

Feng Qing was about to come closer to speak, Feng Miao held his arms in one hand, wrapped the clothes and shoes on the lacquer plate with the other hand, and was about to go out.

"Zuo Zhaoyi, don't you open your clothes and take a look? In case there is something unsatisfactory, it is good to revise it. Feng Qing smiled at the corners of his mouth and asked loudly.
