Chapter 135:
"Please be patient," Liu Wanning raised her hand to refill her tea, smiled warmly and said, "Your Highness can bear it, but I really can't stand her style."
"Oh?" Qi Yuxiao's eyes lit up, and she leaned closer in a low voice: "Sister Liu, is there any way to expose her watery face?"
Liu Wanning covered her lips and said softly: "There are ways, but I don't have any manpower in the inner city, so I need to borrow Chengyi's help."
Princess Changle is the eldest daughter of His Majesty. Qi Yuxiao gave birth to a good child and has been favored by thousands of people since she was born. A few years ago, when His Majesty the Emperor was still in power, he would take them with him whenever he came to the palace to escape the summer heat and live in the inner city. .
So, it is normal for Qi Yuxiao to have several confidants in the inner city.
The two whispered a few words, and soon looked at each other and smiled.
…
Although you are staying in the palace to escape the summer heat, important matters in the court should not be neglected.
In the Chengming Palace, after lunch, Xiao Junzhan reported that several important ministers were discussing political affairs. He saw Ning Hai serving hot tea and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the three old princes, King Zhao, King Qi and King Su, are all outside asking for an audience."
Xiao Junzhan paused slightly, "Why are they here?"
The three old princes are the highest-ranking among the existing royal princes. They are highly respected and are the uncles of His Majesty and the uncles of Xiao Junzhan. They have already reached the age of old age.
Xiao Junzhan quite respects these uncles and is never stingy with the honors they deserve. He also specially called them to come to the palace to escape the summer heat this time.
In addition to annual ceremonies and special festivals, three old princes came together to ask for an audience...
Ning Hai was hesitant. Upon seeing this, several courtiers below realized that there was something inside that they should not listen to. They all stood up and retreated to discuss important matters on their own.
After they retreated far enough to make sure that they could no longer hear the sound from this side, Ning Hai whispered: "My servant guessed that maybe they came here for Miss Wei."
Xiao Junzhan frowned and said, "What's the matter with Guan Ranran?"
There was a small court meeting today. After the meeting, the prince left several ministers to have dinner with him. Ning Hai did not have time to report what happened in Qixiang Palace, so Xiao Junzhan did not know what he said in public.
Ning Hai whispered everything that happened in the morning and said: "There were a lot of people in Qixiang Palace at that time. Miss Wei did not give a silence order about what she said. I think several princes heard about it, so..."
Xiao Junzhan was slightly startled when he heard this. He didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly smiled.
"It doesn't matter," he said warmly with a comfortable smile, as if he was very happy, "send them to go to the side hall to have an audience."
…
Several old princes were led into the side hall by their chamberlains to wait, looking restless.
Xiao Junzhan did not keep them waiting for long. After entering, the three kings saluted in unison: "Your Highness, please pay your respects."
"Forgive me," Xiao Junzhan sat at the top, looking down at the three clan elders with a calm expression, and said, "What are you doing here, uncles?"
Zhao Wang, Qi Wang, and King Su were all over -old, but they were well maintained, and their bones were still healthy, otherwise they could not accompany the summer heat.
Among them, King Zhao is the eldest, the most virtuous and respected in the clan, and has the most stubborn temper.
As the speaker, after receiving the courtesy, he stood up straight and said straight to the point: "The old minister is half buried in the ground, but you can still be remembered by His Highness. I have the honor to accompany you to the palace to escape the summer heat. I deeply feel the emperor's great kindness, and I only wish your Highness the best." , but I heard something at home today. After thinking about it, I felt really uneasy, so I had to come to see you with a few old brothers. I had some unpleasant things to say to His Highness. "
Xiao Junzhan said: "Uncle, please speak clearly."
King Zhao and the two old brothers looked at each other, took a step forward, and bowed: "In these years, His Highness has been busy with political affairs, and has never had the intention of marrying a wife. The old minister was anxious in his heart, and suffered from the difficulty of admonishing him. Until a few days ago, you I finally let out a sigh of relief when it was announced that I would be concubine.”
"Although I have never seen Wei's girl, I can catch your eye. She must be far better in appearance than others, and her temperament is not bad. But today..." King Zhao paused slightly, hesitated for a few breaths, and said: "Today I heard that I heard some rumors...maybe you are too partial and encourage women to be greedy..."
Having said this, he bowed deeply and said no more.
Xiao Junzhan understood what he had not finished saying.
He has not been around women for many years, but he finally became interested in marrying a wife. He slowly said some shocking words. It is not difficult for others to guess how much preference he gave to others to make him look like this...rebellious and rebellious.
It is the matter of **** that makes the mind faint, or... the Demon Queen's Gu government, there are precedents in the previous dynasties.
Xiao Junzhan felt a little emotional. He was ten years older and had to wait for twenty-five years to find such a sweetheart. If he didn't get used to it more and got closer, could he be willing to let the two of them act like a monarch and a minister?
Xiao Junzhan couldn't help but hold his forehead when he thought of Ran Ran bowing down to him and calling him "His Royal Highness" when they met.
"My uncle also knows that Gu has never thought about marrying for these years, and now he finally meets a girl who catches his eye..." Xiao Junzhan said: "She is still young, so it is inevitable for Gu to dote on her."
He used the word "doting", which shocked everyone in the hall except Ning Hai.
Neither of them are the customary favorites of the royal family...
The meaning of protection this time is clearly revealed.
How could King Zhao not hear this? He was even more worried and said bluntly: "Your Highness, my loyal words are going to be offended."
Xiao Junzhan's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly: "What does uncle want to say?"
"You have not been with a woman for many years, and it is not too much to say that you are hard-hearted, but the Crown Princess is not very old, but she can charm His Highness's heart with a few words. If you think about it carefully, it is too scary." As he said this, King Zhao himself felt He was horrified and said anxiously: "Your Highness is wise and powerful, why don't you think about it carefully, is there any fraud in it?"
The King of Qi on the side couldn't help but interjected: "Your Highness's whereabouts are secretive. I heard that Wei's daughter is raised in the south of the Yangtze River. I wonder how you fell in love with her?"
Xiao Junzhan was slightly startled when he was asked, and his heart couldn't help but feel hot when he thought of the beautiful little girl when they first met... His throat moved, he forcibly suppressed the inappropriate thoughts, and chuckled: "We are destined to meet each other thousands of miles away, because of fate By coincidence, God sent people to Gu, and Gu took a fancy to him. "
He said it bluntly, but King Zhao said angrily: "I heard that Wei's daughter was engaged before."
"...That's right," Xiao Junzhan's smile faded a little. He picked up the tea cup and opened the lid, took a look, then closed it casually, and said: "It's just an oral marriage established by the elders. What does it have to do with her? Now she A lonely person."
King Zhao was about to speak, but when he raised his eyes and saw the indifferent expression of the young man above him, a bone-chilling chill ran up his spine, and he fell silent for an instant.
He finally realized that he seemed to have touched the young king's reverse scale.
He also vaguely discovered that his love for Wei's daughter was more than just a superficial love between men and women. The stubbornness in it might even be a bit crazy.
Chapter 2 will be later. I have been hanging bottles recently. I can’t bear the cough. Taking medicine is of no use, so I can only hang bottles. The veins on the back of my hands are a bit painful, so I can’t write smoothly.
It’s the end of the month again. I actually don’t want to compete for this month’s new book list, but... the ranking is a bit high. It seems a pity not to compete.
So I’d better ask for tickets. I want monthly tickets, red sleeve tickets, and recommended tickets
