Chapter Twenty-Three: Everyone Looks Forward to the Six Princes

"Far away at the foot of the mountain, by the crooked river, the sun is shining and the stars are hanging in the sky...... Spring, summer, autumn and winter year after year, planting the ideal field, in order to make the water in the river clearer, and looking forward to the bluer sky overhead......" Li Sishen sat in the carriage, and heard the slightly thin shoulders of the peasant girl passing by carrying a hoe, humming a tune in her mouth. Roll up the bamboo curtain and look at the scenery behind you farther and farther away, and the melodious and graceful music floats in the air.

Li Sishen raised his chin to recall the tune just now, and his thoughts were full of thoughts. If it weren't for the potholed pavement being crushed by the wagon in progress, she would have been immersed all the time.

The driver drove all the way north, and by this time he had crossed two hills from the epidemic area at the junction of Dacheng and the southwest of the alien race. The coachman drove to a resting hotel, where Li Sishen paid two silver taels and said goodbye to the coachman, thinking that this place was still far from the capital, and although the carriage could rest, it was still too slow, and he planned to ride back to Beijing alone.

The people of the capital were looking forward to seeing this famous six princes as soon as possible, and some noble ladies of the gate valve family inquired about the various likes and dislikes of the six princes who caused a sensation in the capital.

"Hey, Bixi, has the most famous ink pavilion in the capital painted the portrait of the six princes now?"

"Mrs. Qiqi Shizi, the portrait you want has been delivered. ”

"That's great, bring it to Mrs. Ben and show it. You go and call Sister Xuan'er over, I have something to tell her. The maid named Bixi bowed and turned and walked out of the room.

After a while, Sister Xuan'er in the mouth of Mrs. Shizi came to her in a goose yellow and high-quality cloud lake splendor.

"Mother, are you looking for me?"

"Come here, Sister Xuan, come to my mother's side. Ah, look, this is a portrait made for Niangtuo Mosai Pavilion...... "Mrs. Shizi said, unfolding the scroll in her hand and gently pressing the four corners with the ruler next to her.

Lu Xuantang looked at the painting of the jade tree in the wind, graceful, and the man wearing a jade headband holding a fan on his chest. This person...... It looks very handsome, but it always feels weird?

Lu Xuantang asked his mother with a puzzled look.

"Mother, are you sure that the man in this painting is the current Six Princes?"

"There won't be a mistake, now no matter which painting boat in the capital is out of this picture, for the mother, it's just that the six princes are painted with a little more charm, you see. ”

"Mother, have you seen the Sixth Prince since he came down the mountain?"

"I've never seen ...... before," said this, and Mrs. Shizi fell silent. What Sister Xuan said is that rumors are flying all over the capital in the sky, true and false.

Just as Mrs. Lu Shizi was choosing a lover for her daughter, other noble ladies in the capital also made calculations, and the six princes were not only kind-hearted, but also had the ability to rejuvenate with skillful hands. Lang is not married to a daughter, it is better to push the boat, the beauty of adults, and match the matchmaker to find a good way out for his daughter and choose a good husband. Just when the noble ladies in the capital tried their best to investigate, the emperor and Li Sishen's royal brothers knew that the noble ladies of the prominent officials and prominent families in the capital were thinking about the sixth child. When I want to marry the daughter of my own boudoir to the sixth prince, I can't help but feel ridiculous and absurd------ the sixth is a daughter, and it is unprecedented for a woman to marry a woman, and now although the sixth prince is an outsider as a man, it will naturally be discovered after a long time. In addition, it was an expedient measure to let the old six women dress up as men, in order to allow the six princes to balance the growing power of the gate valve family.

"As the saying goes, a gentleman is good, a fair lady. If you think about it, it's really time for the sixth child to talk about marriage......"

The fifth prince, Long Ge'er, was sitting in a pavilion in the palace with his royal brothers at this time, playing chess pieces.

"Old Five, you're not serious anymore. Can the Sixth Emperor Brother be called a marriage discussion? I'm afraid she doesn't know all this mess in the capital now!"

"Huh! Speaking of which...... The Sixth Emperor Brother is still on his way back, right?"

"Yes, the place where the sixth man went is the border between the two countries, and it is far away from us, so he didn't arrive in the capital so quickly for a while. ”

The eldest prince Xianglin looked at the chessboard on the stone table, frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment and played the chess pieces in his hand.

"Double cannon, General. Hehe, Brother Huang, you have no way to escape this time. ”

Xianglin looked at Brother Long, who seemed to have a chance to win, and his eyebrows fluttered, and calmly moved the chess pieces.

"You miscalculated, fifth brother, the double cannon can't hit my veteran. ”

Brother Long looked at the general who didn't take him down, scratched the back of his head, to be honest, he really couldn't play chess in front of him, and he didn't look like an inconspicuous imperial brother.

"Alright, let's go down here. Later, if I have something to discuss with my father, I will go first. ”

Seeing that Xianglin had packed up the chess pieces on the stone table, he walked outside the pavilion. Looking at his back as he left, the other two princes glanced at each other. This trip has something to do with the sixth brother, right?

Before Xianglin went to see his father, he bent and walked in the direction of leaving the palace. At this time, the emperor felt bored and remembered some things in his heart, and couldn't help but stop the vermilion pen in his hand and rub his temples for a while.

It didn't take long to hear a report from the palace people outside the door, saying that the eldest prince had something to see. The emperor ordered the palace people to pass him in, and Xianglin came to his father. In view of the current trend of the noble ladies of the gate valve family in the capital, he put forward his views.

"Father, you have been worried about this matter lately. I think why not take this opportunity to become a gate lord who is weakening the sky, and take back power step by step?"

Yes, now Mi'er has become the focus of everyone's attention in the capital, and everyone is looking forward to his return, and they feel a little mysterious about this sixth prince who has never met...... Thinking of this, the corners of the emperor's mouth rose, got up and walked up to him and patted Xianglin's shoulder.

Xianglin saw that his father agreed with this idea, and the stone in his heart was also put down. Previously, he was a little undecided, and after he bent out of the palace, he went to discuss with Chu Boyi. After listening to his thoughts, Chu Boyi thought that it would not be so easy to find a way to balance the gate valve family after not proposing to the emperor now, after all, opportunities do not come often. If you grasp it well, there may be unexpected gains.
