The Emperor's gaze was still on the list, and he asked in a deep voice, "The best candidate...... Where is the best? ”

Ming Luo replied with a straight face: "Back to Your Majesty, Wei Chen thinks that the Chang family girl now has three conditions that are very compatible with the position of the crown princess——"

Her voice was slow and objective: "First, although Chang Niangzi is only the adopted daughter of the General's Mansion, everyone knows that General Chang regards it as his own, and there is only this one daughter in the house. ”

"The daughter of a first-class military attaché sounds prominent enough, and no one can say that His Majesty deliberately treated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince perfunctorily."

"However, General Chang is only a fictitious title, and there is no real power in his hands, taking a step back and saying, although he once commanded the Xuan Ce army, but now the Xuan Ce Mansion is under the heart of Cui Dadu, and the Chang family will defect to the East Palace in the future, and it is also controllable for His Majesty."

"Second, the lady of the Chang family has an advantage that others can't match. After the poetry meeting of Dengtailou, she has become famous among the scribes as a woman, and not long ago won a famous move because of the game of gambling and chess, and for a while it was in the limelight, and the praise was numerous - with its personal reputation alone, it has the power to convince the public, enough to compete with the eldest grandson and seven ladies. ”

"Third, it is what the Tianjing National Master just said......" Ming Luo said this, and there were two more points of awe on his face: "The Chang family's lady is quite strange. ”

The sage once asked the national teacher, is this strange blessing or curse-

The national teacher shook his head and replied with the word "unknown".

And the national teacher just had a word......

- "Poor Dao looked at her face slightly, this woman's fate is strange, and it seems to be inexplicably related to His Majesty's life. ”

This sentence is more confusing than the word "unknown".

For the emperor who holds the power of life and death, if the other party is really just an ordinary unknown variable, it is necessary to remove the strangulation as soon as possible, and all troubles can be avoided.

But the sentence "This woman's fate and His Majesty's fate seem to be inexplicably related", but people dare not act easily.

The slightest carelessness may damage the overall situation.

The Heavenly Mirror National Master is not comparable to those swaggering Taoist warlocks, all the prophecies that come out of his mouth should not come true, and his aunt treats him very seriously-

When she was a child, she even heard a secret story from her father Ying Guogong - when her aunt was just born, she met a young Taoist who passed by outside the house, and the Taoist saw at a glance that there was a "noble son born" in the house, and after seeing the infant aunt, he bluntly said that the baby's face would be the lord of the world in the future.

At the time, it sounded like nonsense.

But decades later, it came true.

At that time, she only thought that this mysterious rumor was also a means used by her aunt to win the hearts of her subjects, but later, her aunt really found the Taoist back then—that person was the Tianjing National Master.

It makes sense that my aunt values the national teacher.

And no matter whether things are good or bad, when they are related to their own interests and safety, people always prefer to believe what they have, and this is true for ordinary people, let alone emperors.

The emperor will not risk his own fortune.

Therefore, the sage asked the Heavenly Mirror National Master if he could deduce a more detailed possibility or a way to solve the problem of the entanglement of fate.

The national teacher only did his best.

However, it is also unknown whether it is an unknown variable, and whether it can be calculated in detail about the direction of good luck and evil.

"Your Majesty is a heaven-endowed king, and in the face of such uncertain variables, it is a safe policy to put it within the control of sight." Mingluo finally said.

The so-called position of the crown princess sounds luxurious, but in fact it is just a chain that turns people into puppets.

Such an unstable variable is the only way to turn it into a controllable puppet and keep an eye on it, isn't it?

After hearing the above words, the Holy Book Emperor raised his eyes to look at Ming Luo.

"Gu'an-" The tone of the Holy Emperor could not be heard with joy or anger: "You don't have a good impression of the lady of the Chang family, do you?" ”

Mingluo's eyelashes moved slightly, and he lowered his eyes and said, "Yes, Luo'er doesn't like this lady of the Chang family." ”

She knew very well that when her aunt raised such doubts, she did not want to hear her denial and defense.

Even if she admits it, it will not make her words useless - the basis for the emperor to weigh the pros and cons does not include the little thoughts of her little person.

As long as the proposal is useful and available, my aunt will consider adopting it.

If not, how could she be so stupid as to speak rashly and provoke her aunt to question her intentions?

Therefore, she admitted very calmly: "The girl of the Chang family acts flamboyantly, regardless of the overall situation, and has previously refused her aunt's desire to grant her the grace of a female official, and it is difficult for Luo Er to have a sense of recognition with her." ”

"But Luo'er's proposal is not out of selfishness." She said with a straight face: "Previously, Luo'er, like her aunt, had not been included in the list of candidates for the crown princess, just because of the situation and the words of the Tianjing National Teacher...... Fang had such an idea. ”

She raised her hand and saluted, bowed her head slightly, and said: "If it can be used by my aunt, or it is exactly what providence means, it will be shown by the national teacher to solve this urgent need for my aunt...... In this way, Luo'er should also treat him with courtesy, and he will never have half a point of useless emotions such as shallowness. ”

The Emperor of the Holy Book bowed slightly: "If you can think like this, it will not be in vain to treat your cultivation." ”

She doesn't care that the people around her have their own thoughts.

If she can't even tolerate the little calculations of others, then there will be no one in the world who can be used to her.

As long as the careful thinking is enough for her to see through and be in her control.

On the contrary, people with selfish intentions and shortcomings are better controlled.

All she needs to do is warn them before they touch a line they shouldn't.

Mingluo said at the right time: "...... In the end, Luo'er is limited in her vision, and what she said is just a humble opinion, and how to settle this matter still needs to be decided by her aunt. ”

"I really don't have any chess pieces in my hands at the moment with an absolute chance of winning, and those people may not have taken a fancy to this point, so they dare to propose to choose a princess at this time......"

The Holy Book Emperor looked at the three words "Chang Sui Ning" on the list again, and said slowly: "She was not in my thoughts, and she was not in the thoughts of those people. ”

In just half a year, its fame has already risen...... Looking at the Jingshi, it can be regarded as a variable worth mentioning. ”

Such a variable may really help her win by surprise, and it is unknown whether she will win this game......

"However, it is not advisable to do it rashly, and we need to explore the reactions of all parties first."

The Emperor of the Holy Book fell, raised his hand and slowly closed the register.

After a moment of silence, a palace lady entered and said: "Your Majesty, it's almost time for dinner." ”

The process of today's flower banquet is to enjoy the flowers during the day and set up a banquet in the evening.

And the actions used by the Holy Emperor to test the reactions of all parties were at this banquet.

……

Since seeing it in the garden in the daytime, Chang Suining always flashed the unpredictable gaze of the Heavenly Mirror National Master when he looked at him from time to time, and he always felt inexplicably uneasy in his heart.

Soon, this uneasiness was confirmed.

Before the feast, the Emperor of the Holy Book gave all the nobles in turn.

The emperor's reward, since the rain and dew are wet, no matter whether or not today at the flower party performance, all those who come with the invitation card have been rewarded.

But the reward is different.

This difference is the basis for judging the divine will of all parties-

Most of the things obtained by noble ladies are mostly jewelry items, although they are not the same, but they are also similar.

Only when the eldest grandson, the seventh lady, and the eldest grandson Xuan, stepped forward to receive the reward, she got a jade ruyi that was different from ordinary jewelry.

Just the literal word Ruyi shows that the saint is particularly satisfied with him.

Some of the women secretly exchanged glances.

The eldest grandson and the seventh lady are really different......

The saint gave this jade ruyi at this time, didn't he also agree to the election of the eldest grandson Qi Niangzi as the crown princess?

The eldest grandson Xuan saluted and thanked him, received the reward, and returned to his place with a smile and sat down.

The crown prince, who was sitting at the head of the Holy Emperor, slightly clenched the fingers in his sleeves that were trembling with nervousness and excitement.

There were whispers among the officials, but Changsun Yuan remained silent, and there was no sense of stability in his heart - even if this flower party was held, how could he compromise so easily in the future?

At this moment, the voice of the rewarding chamberlain sounded again.

"Hussar General's Mansion Chang Girl, come forward to receive the reward-"

Chang Sui Ning stepped forward.

The chamberlain raised his voice and said: "The saint specially gave Chang's girl, a pair of night pearls." ”

There was a sudden silence in all directions.

Chang Suining's lowered eyebrows and eyes also jumped extremely quickly.

She didn't look up at it without losing her respect, but she could clearly perceive countless surprised glances falling on her.

She stepped forward to receive the reward, and was destined to receive some similar rewards like many of the noble ladies in front of her, and then she could go back and sit quietly without attracting any attention.

But at this time, the unexpected happened.

The two night pearls that were held in front of her by the chamberlain lay quietly in the box, even though they were bright in all directions, the beads were also exuding surging light, like candles and stars, so that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

This pair of especially precious night pearls did not give people the possibility of looking away, nor did they give the girl room to refuse.

But the girl didn't take it right away.

At this time, the Heavenly Mirror National Master, who was standing beside the Holy Book Emperor, opened his mouth.

"Seeing the face of the girl in the garden today, I feel that it is particularly extraordinary, and when I look at it at this time, I feel even more rare——"

The four suddenly became quieter.

The national teacher actually wants to meet the Chang family girl in public?

The Heavenly Mirror National Master is not comparable to ordinary Taoists, and once he speaks, the weight does not need to be said.

The old voice of the Taoist was particularly clear in the silent hall, and every word seemed to contain endless mysteries: "The girl's eyes are clear and firm, from the frontal bone to the jade pillow full and distinct, the bone phase has been achieved, and it will be expensive and extraordinary in the future, and it is immeasurable and ......."

When these words fell, there was a strange noise around them.

This Chang family girl was born so preciously?

And it's expensive...... It must be a sign of great nobility!

Cui Lang's focus was slightly different, and he thought in a low voice: "From the frontal bone to the jade pillow is full and distinct......"

He subconsciously touched his head and suddenly said, "You mean that my master's head is extremely round, right?" ”

Touching it, I couldn't help but sneak a look at the head of my own brother sitting in front.

If this Heavenly Mirror National Master comes to look at the bone image of his elder brother, I wonder if he can match where his patriarch's natural anti-bone is? Estimated ...... It's got to be a big chunk, right?

Cui Lang's gaze went from top to bottom.

Nor is it right, or rather...... Brother, this thing is all that stuff from head to toe?

As the saying goes, people are geometric, and the anti-bone is geometric!

But it's not a good thing to have too many backbones, and there are always more beatings than others.

It's not a good thing if the head is too round, it's easy to be targeted by Taoist priests.

Master shouldn't be arrested to be the crown princess because his head is too round, right?

Cui Lang looked at his master with some concern.

Listening to the different voices of discussion, Chang Sui Ning raised his head slightly and looked at the Heavenly Mirror National Master.

She knew that she was extraordinary, and she didn't need him to tell her.

But since the other party opened her mouth, she still had to say: "In this way, I will borrow the auspicious words of the national teacher——"

She will make herself sit on this precious and extraordinary life.

But you should be self-sufficient, not a puppet.

In the eyes of everyone, the girl responded to the noble and extraordinary words of the national teacher, without being modest, without fear, without being flattered, but what did she say - borrowing the words of the national teacher?

In calmness, there are two points of arrogance.

So, she took it?

The girl even suffered the pair of night pearls.

Chang Suining thanked him after taking the box.

Of course, to be grateful, in the end it is just a reward and face-to-face, not the will of marriage, at this time, even if you want to resist the will, there is no will, and if you want to go crazy on the spot, there are still few opportunities.

】

Moreover, this pair of night pearls is worth a thousand gold, and if there is money in the future, it is also very cost-effective to sell it.

Her action of receiving the reward fell in the eyes of everyone on all sides, but it meant the beginning of a game.

This dinner party is destined for many people to be unsavory.

When the banquet was halfway through, some officials with different thoughts left the table one after another.

The eldest grandson always sat quietly, and did not see any different colors.

Chang Sui Ning also sat at the end.

When she left, there were few people left at the banquet.

The box containing the night pearl was handed over to Xi'er to hold, and the master and servant went out of the front hall, and a cool night breeze blew in their faces.

"Ning Ning ......" Chang Kuo's father and son, who were waiting outside the hall, walked up quickly.

Chang Suining said calmly: "It's late, Daddy and Brother go back to rest first, it's not too late to talk about anything tomorrow." ”

It will take at least one night to react and digest this matter, and she and Daddy might as well calm down and think about it first.

This matter is beginning to show signs, and the Chang family does not have to go everywhere first, and is in a hurry to have a big reaction.

Chang Kuo nodded knowingly, glanced at the direction of the banquet hall, and said in a low voice: "Anyway, don't be afraid, there is a father." ”

It was inconvenient to speak at the table, and Chang Suian was still a little confused about the situation, but after hearing this, he also assured his sister: "Brother is also here!" ”

Chang Suining smiled and nodded.

The man and the woman were in different gardens, and after separating from their father and brother, Chang Sui Ning returned to his residence alone with Xi'er.

Seeing the girl's back disappear, Ming Luo, who was standing under the corridor, raised his eyebrows slightly.

He has painstakingly made a name for himself, and today he has finally reaped the fruits of this fame...... Speaking of which, she picked up the position of the crown princess for nothing, and the other party did not suffer, and when the will was issued, she would sincerely say "congratulations" to the other party.

Fortunately, the other party's behavior tonight seems to be quite interesting.

Mingluo smiled slightly: "It's best to keep being so knowledgeable......"

After all, her aunt, His Majesty the current saint, would not like an uninteresting puppet.

Both good and bad are unpredictable......

Then, knowledge is auspicious.

If you don't know what to do, you will be in trouble.

The evil star will not end well, so the other party should be an obedient pawn with peace of mind.

Ming Luo smiled, turned around and went back to the hall.
