Chapter 464: The princess asks for help
After Feiyun finished speaking, Zhang Cambodia continued: "Fengtang has done a lot of evil and deserves to be punished. I heard that this time to deal with Fengtang, it was proposed and led by you. Feiyun said: "The grass people also inadvertently bumped into Fengtang doing evil, so they intervened to stop it and formed a bond with Fengtang. As for the leader of this matter, it was the elders of the beggar gang, and the grass people did not dare to take credit. ”
Zhang Cambodia nodded approvingly and said: "The young man is young, but he can be indifferent to fame and fortune, which is really rare. The old man knows that there are a lot of things about the young man, and he took the time to come here today, so there must be other things? ”
Feiyun thought to himself, it seemed that he had guessed his intentions. After all, Feiyun was visiting for the first time, so it was naturally inconvenient to reveal a little bit of his original intention.
Liangchen knew that Feiyun was not easy to answer, and if he denied that there was anything else, it would be inconvenient for him to speak again in the future. Liangchen immediately said: "Lord Zhang, we are here because my eldest brother has long had the wish to meet him in person to show his respect. I came here today to make a long-cherished wish. ”
Zhang Cambodia smiled slightly and said, "Miss Liangchen, I know you are a smart and clever girl. If you have anything to say, please speak up. Liangchen said humbly: "I don't dare to be praised by adults. ”
Master Zhang bowed his head slightly and said, "The little girl is very good at talking and very modest, it seems that Lin Shaoxia is well-trained." ”
Liangchen thought for a moment and said, "My eldest brother has naturally been teaching me and Meijing earnestly. After knowing Queen Luling, he also taught our sisters for the sake of my eldest brother's face. Zhang Cambodia immediately said: "It seems that the relationship between His Royal Highness and Lin Shaoxia is extraordinary?" ”
Liangchen immediately replied: "The prince and the eldest brother do have a deep relationship. Feiyun then explained: "Strictly speaking, Your Highness is the elder of the grass people, and he treats my two sisters differently. Zhang Cambodia nodded and said, "I see, the old man thought that the young man was just a friend of the prince." I didn't expect there to be such a relationship in it, no wonder His Highness has so much respect and trust in Shaoxia"
Liangchen said: "However, the maidservant girl thinks that the prince trusts and respects the lord more. When the eldest brother and the prince mentioned dealing with Bai Fengtang, the first thing that the prince thought of was Lord Zhang. After the explanation of the prince, we knew that Lord Zhang was indeed a family of loyalty and righteousness, which was admirable! ”
Liangchen deliberately revealed the prince's trust and respect for Zhang Cambodia in order to observe the other party's reaction. Unexpectedly, Zhang Cambodia said lightly: "His Royal Highness's order is equivalent to the order of the imperial court, and the Yang family must obey it." ”
Liangchen was a little disappointed and looked at Feiyun. Feiyun saw that Zhang Cambodia seemed unwilling to express his attitude, and it was difficult to continue, so he got up and said goodbye under the pretext that he had something to do. Zhang Cambodia naturally knew Feiyun's intentions, so he didn't keep it, and let Feiyun be sent out of the mansion.
The three of Feiyun left the house, got into the carriage, and walked slowly. Feiyun couldn't help but be a little frustrated when he thought of the attitude of the two families. Liangchen hurriedly comforted him and said, "Big brother, don't worry, after we go back, we should be able to come up with a solution." ”
Feiyun said: "If you don't get the full support of this Wu Qiong and Zhang Cambodia, Li Xian is indeed not sure that he will get the position of the crown prince." Just don't know why they are like this? Liangchen couldn't think of a clue and was silent.
After the three of them returned to the Luling Palace, they told Princess Wei about their going one by one. Princess Wei didn't seem surprised, and when she saw Feiyun in a depressed mood, she said, "Lin Shaoxia, you don't have to blame yourself. Although these two families are loyal and good ministers, this matter involves the royal family, and it is understandable that it is inconvenient for them to express their position publicly. As for who succeeds to the throne, it is the same for them, and naturally there will be no favoritism. Feiyun asked worriedly, "Does the princess have any good plans?" ”
Princess Wei pondered for a moment and said, "There is a way, but I don't know if you are willing to agree." Feiyun was overjoyed and said, "Princess, what are you talking about?" For the sake of His Royal Highness, even if he dares to break through the sea of swords and fires, what else can't he do? But it doesn't matter, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse! ”
The princess looked at Liu Shui gratefully and said, "Since that's the case, I'll tell you the truth." The Wu family was originally a royal prince, and there was no difference between them and the prince, the king of Liang, and the king of Xiang, so they would naturally remain neutral. If Wu Qiong and Wang Ye become in-laws, do you think they will vigorously support Wang Ye? Feiyun blurted out: "It's a pro-three sharing, there should be no doubt about this." But how can the prince and Wu Qiong's family get married? ”
Princess Wei smiled slightly and said, "This matter can't directly involve the prince, so as not to be true." I know that you have a brother named Liu Shui, who had a close relationship with the county lord of Yanmei when he was in Tanzhou. But if Liu Shui can become the fast son-in-law of Wu Qiong's family, doesn't that mean that the prince and Wu Qiong have become in-laws? ”
Feiyun was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and then said: "I have to go back and discuss this matter with Brother Liu Shui before I can decide!" ”
Just at this time, Liu Shuigang came back from undercover with Qingxiang, and came to the Luling Mansion with Feiyun. Feiyun immediately asked Liangchen to find Liu Shui, and Liu Shui hurriedly came to the hall.
After Liu Shui heard Feiyun's words, his face turned red, and he hurriedly said, "Princess, it's funny." I'm just a reckless man, how can I climb the glamorous county lord. ”
Princess Wei said with a serious face: "Liu Shaoxia, I'm not joking, I'm serious." Liu Shui heard this, and said suspiciously: "Even if I agree, the Yanmei County Lord will not agree." I think it's better to think of a way to find a suitable girl to marry him on Wu Ji, isn't it? ”
Princess Wei shook her head and said, "I have also thought about this, but there is no one suitable for him." I know that you and the glamorous county lord have known each other for a long time, and I heard that she seems to be interested in you. If you can get married, even if the Wuqiong family doesn't express its position, they will stand on the side of King Luling. Liangchen, do you think I'm right? ”
Liangchen immediately responded: "Madame is very right. When I was at Wu Qiong's house, I had this idea. Just because he didn't get the consent of the eldest brother and Liu Shaoxia, he didn't dare to bring it up in person. Only then did Feiyun understand why Liangchen would agree to Wu Qiong's house and find a young hero for the glamorous county lord. Liu Shui saw that the princess and Liangchen sang and harmonized, and obviously discussed it a long time ago. Liu Shui was inconvenient to accuse the princess, so he had to glare at Liangchen and said, "Is it this bad idea you gave the princess?" ”
Liangchen smiled and said, "Liu Shaoxia, this is not a bad idea. This idea can make you happy, what's not to like? King Luling will become the emperor in the future, and you will be the emperor's prince. The Liu family is thin, if you marry a few more wives and concubines, won't you have more heirs? Liu Shui's face turned red and said angrily: "Who are you treating me?" Womanizer? ”
Princess Wei saw Liu Shui angrily reprimanding Liangchen, and hurriedly said, "Liu Shaoxia, it's none of her business. After I heard that you were in Tanzhou, I thought of the unfavorable situation of the prince again, and I was in a hurry, so I had this idea. If you really don't have a good impression of the county lord, I naturally can't force you. The twisted melon is not sweet, and I can't ignore your feelings for my own selfish interests. Great"
After Princess Wei finished speaking, she sighed and looked gloomy. Feiyun couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. He hurriedly persuaded Liu Shui and asked him to agree to the matter. Liangchen also said that the other party might refuse directly, just to show favor to Wu Qiong.
Liu Shui couldn't bear to disappoint the princess, so he said, "Princess, don't worry. I didn't say that the glamorous county lord was not good, she was not only beautiful and beautiful, but also strong in martial arts, although she was a little indifferent on the surface, she was still very warm and kind in her heart. But she is a high-ranking county lord, how could she take a fancy to a reckless person like me. Although your and Liangchen's idea is good, it is simply impossible. Liangchen opened his mouth, but stopped talking. After all, she was still afraid of annoying Feiyun, so she didn't say anything in the end.
Princess Wei frowned slightly, stared at Liu Shui, and asked seriously: "What does Shaoxia mean is that if the county lord agrees, you will agree to this family business?" Liu Shui thought for a while and said, "If the county lord refuses, I can't do anything." ”
When Princess Wei heard Liu Shui's promise, she was naturally overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Liu Shui. The princess said to Liangchen: "Liangchen, now that Liu Shaoxia has agreed, can you go to the Gao family tomorrow to propose marriage?" Liangchen shook his head and said, "Princess, it's too early to propose marriage now." ”
Princess Wei asked puzzledly, "Why is this?" Liangchen said: "I think I should first invite the glamorous county lord alone, and the princess will ask her to marry on behalf of Liu Shaoxia to see if she agrees." If she has no opinion, I can go to Wu Qiong's house to propose. "Princess Wei is so smart, she can naturally understand it. She knew that the key to this matter was the glamorous attitude, and if she didn't agree, nothing could be done. Princess Wei immediately asked Liangchen to go to the mansion early the next morning.
Early the next morning, Liangchen invited the glamorous county lord to the Luling Palace. Liangchen invited Yanmei into the hall to meet Princess Wei. Princess Wei had never seen Yanmei before, so she naturally looked at her carefully at this moment. But I saw that her goose-shaped face was red in the protein, her two curved eyebrows were like thin willows, her eyes were shining like autumn water, graceful and graceful, and the beauty of her appearance was no less than the fragrance of heaven. Princess Wei was overjoyed in her heart, so she said: "I have heard the name of the county lord for a long time, and I am really fortunate to see it today." Hurry up, please take a seat! ”
Yanmei heard Liangchen say that Princess Wei was Li Xian's princess, so she naturally bowed very respectfully, and said a few words of humility before sitting down. Liu E then said: "Liu Shaoxia is now our honored guest, and I often hear him mention the county lord. A few days ago, the county lord worked tirelessly to help Lin Shaoxia, and I am grateful. I was supposed to invite the county lord to come over as a guest as soon as possible, but there have been a lot of miscellaneous things recently, and it has been delayed so far. Please also ask the county lord Haihan. ”
Yanmei replied: "Brother Liu, Brother Lin, Liangchen, and Meijing Sister have all helped my father and me. This time, the martial arts family made a move, one was on the orders of the prince, and the other was to return Brother Liu's favor, and the third was that Fengtang's massacre of innocent people in the capital should indeed be punished. ”
Princess Wei nodded and said, "The prince has always said that the martial arts family is the pillar of the country, and today it is well-known. "The martial arts family is a relative of the emperor, so they are naturally very clear about Li Xian's affairs.
Yanmei then said: "Princess, summon Yanmei to the mansion today, I don't know what to order?" As long as I can do it, I will do my best. ”
