Emperor Heng's marriage to Liu Lu was refused

After the dance, everyone in the palace applauded, and Empress Xiao said to Emperor Heng with a proud face and a smile: "Congratulations to Your Majesty on your birthday, Your Majesty, the concubines and nieces Qinghuan are good at dancing, and a dance of plum blossoms and tears is dedicated to Your Majesty, and you have congratulated Your Majesty on thousands of joys." ”

Emperor Heng looked at the queen with tenderness in his eyes: "The queen has a heart, and I am really happy." ”

The people in the palace talked about it, and the people of His Royal Highness were also pushing the cup to change the lamp, and then the third prince spoke: "Second brother, I heard that this Xiao family has always been a beauty, and when Emperor Taizu of the previous dynasty, Mrs. Liuli, who was beautiful and fragrant, was from the Xiao family, and I often heard others say, I don't want to look at it today, this Xiao family's daughter is really a country and a city." ”

Liu Lu also looked at me sitting diagonally across from him: "Women are all vulgar things, and besides, they are such beautiful women." Liu Lu picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

The sixth prince pursed his lips, and was quite disdainful of Liu Lu's words: "Second brother, you can't say that, a woman like Miss Xiao who is loved by everyone is the one who can best capture a man's heart." ”

The fourth prince replied unceremoniously: "The sixth brother is still like this, he can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman, and if he uses some effort in his studies, he won't be so concerned about his father." ”

King Qi smiled gently: "Fourth brother, sixth brother, don't argue, your appearance is just a skin, gentleness and virtuousness are the right reason, don't be jealous for trivial things." ”

The princes were still chatting, and then Liu Lu spoke: "Women are born to be jealous of men and rely on men to live, so why care." ”

The princes were speechless, and King Qi mocked slightly: "The second brother is a pure hearted person with few desires, it is too stereotypical, the second brother has not yet accepted the crown princess, has he not tasted the taste of a woman." ”

Liu Lu's face was not good, he glared at King Qi fiercely, not looking at King Qi, King Qi raised his eyebrows indifferently, he just wanted to embarrass Liu Lu at this birthday banquet, Queen Xiao whispered to Emperor Heng At this time, Emperor Heng, who was sitting on the top seat, spoke: "Xiao Qing." ”

Xiao Yan heard Emperor Heng calling, and hurriedly put down the wine glass in his hand and knelt on the ground: "The minister is here." Xiao Yan prostrate on the ground, listening to Emperor Heng's words.

"Your daughter, versatile, knowledgeable and knowledgeable, is a rare girl, I don't know if there is a marriage match?"

"Your Majesty praises falsely, the little girl has no talent and no virtue, she is very naughty, and the little girl is not yet married."

"Oh, that's the case, among the many princes of Aiqing, which one can be your son-in-law."

Xiao Yan was shocked, and looked at Empress Xiao beside Emperor Heng without a trace, Empress Xiao pretended not to see it, looked at her brother with a smile, Xiao Yan said carefully: "The little girl is stubborn and disobedient to discipline, the princes are all dragons and phoenixes among people, how dare the little girl climb the princes." ”

Xiao Yan's words are not leaky, so people can't find any problems, Emperor Heng was a little unhappy when he heard Xiao Yan's words, and pretended to be serious and said: "Aiqing doesn't have to be like this, I love your daughter very much, and I want to get married, but who knows that I scared you like this." ”

I knelt down when I heard this: "Your Majesty is angry, this is not to blame my father, it is the courtiers who feel that it is too early to talk about marriage before they have passed, and besides, all the princes are first-class and excellent, and the courtiers dare not climb high, and the posture of the courtiers Pu Liu is really not worthy of the princes." ”

Emperor Heng pointed with his hand: "Hahaha, this girl's eloquence is really with the queen, get up, I'm just joking with your father, get up, get up." ”

"Your Majesty~ How can you be so eccentric." A coquettish voice sounded, we looked up and saw that it was Zhao Guifei, Zhao Guifei pouted and gently pushed Emperor Heng, Emperor Heng held Zhao Guifei in his arms: "Why did Concubine Ai say this." ”

"Your Majesty is eccentric, there are many noble daughters in the family, why is Your Majesty partial to Xiao Youxiang's father and daughter, just now Xiao Youxiang said that Miss Xiao is not yet in time, and Miss Xiao also said that her Pu Liu posture is not worthy of the princes."

Empress Xiao's face sank, and Zhao Guifei proudly provoked: "The concubine's niece Ling Yi is also a concubine who has grown up, and her appearance is also excellent, and she just happens to be at the age of discussing relatives, and Your Majesty must also choose a good family for Ling Yi." ”

"Okay, I promise you, see which prince can get into your eyes? I think Rokuro is good. ”

"Liulang is still young, I think the prince is very good, the prince is the first queen's concubine, Ling Yi has liked the prince for a long time, it is better for His Majesty to marry the two, Ling Yi ~ Come here."

Zhao Lingyi was overjoyed to hear her aunt say this, and knelt on the ground with the shyness of her youngest daughter's family on her face: "Your Majesty Thank you, courtier." ”

"Wait!" Liu Lu stood up and couldn't see any expression on his face: "Erchen thanks Concubine Zhao for her kindness, but Erchen only wants to share his father's worries, and the queen mother has passed away for less than three years, and the son has not thought about taking a concubine if he wants to keep filial piety for his mother, the third brother, the fourth brother, and the fifth brother are all more suitable than the son, and of course there is the sixth brother." ”

Emperor Heng looked at the prince in front of him and remembered the late Empress Lin, and sighed: "Lu'er, over the years, I have wronged you, you can have such filial piety to share my worries, I am very pleased that since you don't want to give up, the matter of marriage can be discussed later." ”

Liu Lu knelt down and thanked him, I knew in my heart that Emperor Heng paid attention to filial piety, and Liu Lu's move was just to gain a good reputation as a filial son in front of Emperor Heng, which was really calculating, and at the same time, he slapped Zhao Guifei and Zhao Lingyi in the face. ”
