Hua Luo asked, "Why, you don't want to?" ”

"No, His Highness's invitation is not qualified to refuse, but if the minister is willing to agree, can His Highness promise the minister one thing first?"

"Tell me about it."

Xiahou Qian took the opportunity to say: "About His Highness's Gu poison...... The minister has already found a doctor for His Highness, and hopes that His Highness will be able to receive the doctor's treatment after the banquet. ”

At the end, he added: "The minister is very worried about His Highness's health, and I ask His Highness not to hide his illness and avoid medical treatment anymore." ”

"Okay, this palace will promise you." Hua Luo agreed.

Xiahou Qian calmly took the flower slip handed over by Hua Luo: "The minister also obeyed the order." ”

"That's it."

On the other side, the empress was looking at the roster of nobles handed to her by Lady Guo in the study: "Your Majesty, look, the front of the roster are all top-notch candidates, all of whom are the future pillars of the country, no matter who His Royal Highness the Crown Prince marries is a perfect match." ”

The empress shook her head: "At a glance, they are all generals, how can they be worthy of the crown prince." ”

"But Your Majesty, didn't you also say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should choose a son-in-law, let's take a look."

The empress casually flipped a few pages, and then handed the roster to Female Officer Guo: "Female Officer Guo, you have been following me for decades, I believe in your vision, you come to pick, pick what you think is eye-catching, and then tell me." ”

Female official Guo hurriedly shook her head: "The slave and maid don't dare, how can the slave and maid have such a vision, please ask Your Majesty to choose." ”

"It's okay, I'll let you pick and choose."

The empress rubbed her eyebrows, looking a little tired.

"Yes."

Lady Guo took the roster and flipped a few pages, and said: "Your Majesty, Li Haowen, the second son of Lord Li's family, is eighteen years old this year, handsome, talkative, and splendid. ”

"Nope." The empress said without thinking about it, "Li Haowen's article is okay, but it has not yet reached the level of unparalleled in the world, and he is still a sick man, and he is not a good match for the prince from a small medicine, look at it again." ”

Female official Guo turned a few more pages: "Your Majesty, Wei Xianglin, the son of Wei Xianglin, is nineteen years old this year, he can be literate and martial, and he is quite smart, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

"Nope." The empress decisively refused, "I have heard of Wei Xianglin, but he is just a thief who is slick and quick success." ”

"Then look at the slave again."

Female Officer Guo dipped her fingers in saliva and continued to flip.

"Your Majesty, how is Wang Changle, the secretary of the Guozijian Division? Wang Changle is 17 years old this year, healthy, of good character, and talented, and his official position is still hand-picked by Your Majesty. ”

"Yes, Wang Changle is the person I appointed, but how did I hear that Wang Changle often goes in and out of the fifth child's mansion, how can someone who is not involved with the fifth child give it to the prince? No, keep watching. ”

In this way, Lady Guo said that about twenty or thirty people were vetoed by the empress one by one for various reasons.

Female official Guo put the roster back in front of the empress: "Your Majesty, I've finished reading it." ”

"Have you finished reading such a thick book?" The empress put down her hand on her cheek, a little surprised.

"It's true that I've read it all, but it's possible for the slave to look away, why don't Your Majesty take a look for yourself?"

"Forget it, how can I be able to look down on someone who can't even look down on you? It seems that the prince's marriage is really tricky. ”

"Maybe Your Majesty's requirements are too high."

"Is it high?" The empress disagreed, "The prince has been excellent since he was a child, and he is impeccable in everything, so he is naturally worthy of being a good man who is unparalleled in the world." ”

"That's right." Female official Guo seemed to think of something, "Your Majesty, didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bring back a Xiahou Qian from Yanzhou as a confidant, this Xiahou Qian is the person personally selected by His Royal Highness the Prince, presumably His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will like it more." ”

"And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always had a close relationship with this Lord Xiahou, I'm afraid it is...... Your Majesty, you also know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is an assertive person, and he may have his own plans for marriage, so Your Majesty may wish to consider His Royal Highness the Prince's opinion? ”

"You mean Xiahou Qian?" The empress said with disdain, "That's even worse, he's just a poor kid, and by chance, he hugged the big tree of the prince to have the opportunity to stand in the court." ”

"Staying by the prince's side is at best a gentle countryman, a honey pot, showing people with color, how long can you be good? If the prince wants to accept him as a male attendant, I still open one eye and close one eye, if he wants to be the prince's husband, absolutely not. ”

Hearing the empress's veto of Xiahou Qian like this, Lady Guo didn't dare to say any more: "Then Your Majesty, take your time, you will always see one that suits your heart." ”

"However, Lady Guo, you have reminded me that the prince has always been stubborn, and he and I always disagree, and in the coming day, I and you finally chose a suitable person to the prince, but she was not happy, isn't it in vain."

Lady Guo heard the song and bosom friend: "It seems that Your Majesty still wants to ask the prince for his own opinion, so the slave maid will find the prince." ”

"No need." The Empress raised her hand and glanced at the sky outside.

"The sound of silk and bamboo outside has been dispersed for a while, presumably the banquet is over, you can go with me personally."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince practices riding and archery at the horse farm at this time, and the slave and maid accompany His Majesty to the horse farm to find His Royal Highness the Prince."

"You don't have to drive, you can just accompany me."

Along the way, the empress couldn't help but start talking about Hua Luo's marriage.

"There are many unmarried men among the royal family and nobles, how can I not find one who can match the crown prince."

"The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, Your Majesty don't have to worry." Female official Guo had no choice but to express relief.

"I know that there are many unmarried aristocratic sons who stretch their necks and want to marry the prince, and the love of their parents will be far-reaching, in fact, my requirements are not high, I only hope that the prince's husband values not her identity as a prince, but her person, but it is a pity that it is difficult to draw people's skin and bones, and they don't know their hearts."

"There will always be, Your Majesty."

As the two were talking, they both heard a roar of horses from the racecourse, and Hua Luo's crisp body "Drive!" ”

The empress and the female official Guo quickened their pace to the gate of the racecourse.

The servant at the gate of the horse farm immediately knelt down: "See Your Majesty." ”

The empress looked at the horse farm, Hua Luo was riding an extraordinary black horse, with a whip in her hand, and Zhan Xing Zhaoyue and Xiahou Qian were standing aside.

"The prince is here to train the horse again?"

"Yes, there is a new black Jiao in the racecourse, which is very difficult to train, and it happened that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard about it, so he had to try it himself."

The empress saw that Hua Luo had been waving her whip and concentrating on dealing with the unruly black horse: "Don't disturb her, just let me take a look." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The empress said so, and the minions of the horse farm did not dare to alarm Hua Luo.

This horse is really wild and difficult to train, no matter how much Hua Luo waved the whip in his hand, he still ran forward with joy, and from time to time his hooves were up and down in the air, trying to turn Hua Luo off his back.
