"Don't be impatient for a moment," Liu Wanning raised her hand to refill her tea, smiled warmly and said, "Your Highness can tolerate 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 the manpower in the inner city. I need Chengyi and your people to 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. .
Therefore, 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 residing in the palace to escape the summer heat, important matters in the court cannot 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 princes of the clan. 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 still 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 asked to see each other...
Ning Hai was hesitant. Seeing this, several courtiers below realized that there was something inside that they should not hear. They all stood up and retreated to discuss important matters on their own.
After they retreated a little further and made sure that they could no longer hear the sound from here, Ning Hai whispered: "My servant guessed that maybe he 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 had not had 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, but he suddenly smiled.
"It's okay," 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."
"Excuse 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?"
King Zhao, King Qi, and King Su are all over seventy years old, but they are well maintained and their bodies are still strong, otherwise they would not be able to travel with them to escape the summer heat.
Among them, King Zhao is the eldest, the most virtuous and respected in the clan, and the most stubborn.
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 really couldn’t sit still, so I had to come with a few old brothers to ask for an audience. I have 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 breathed a sigh of relief when I finally made it clear that I would be concubine."
"Although I have never seen Wei's girl before, I can catch your eye. Her appearance must be far better than others, and her temperament is not bad. But today..." King Zhao paused slightly, hesitated for a few breaths, and said: "Today, veteran 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 had not been close to women for many years, but he finally became interested in marrying a wife. Ran Ran said some shocking words. It was not difficult for others to guess how much preference he gave to others to make him look like this...rebellious. .
It was the lust that made the mind faint, or... the Demon Queen's Gu government had precedents in the previous dynasties.
Xiao Junzhan felt a little emotional. He was ten years older than Ranran and had to wait 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 addressing him as "Your Highness" when they met.
"Uncle also knows that Gu has never thought about getting a wife in 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 made everyone in the hall, except Ning Hai, tremble.
This is not the customary favor of the royal family...
This time, the meaning of protection 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 go against my ears."
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?"
King Qi on the side couldn't help but interjected: "His Royal 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, By coincidence, God sent the person to Gu, and Gu took a fancy to him."
He said it bluntly, but King Zhao said angrily: "I have 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 nonchalantly, and said, "It's just an oral marriage established by the elders. What does it have to do with her? Now, She is alone."
King Zhao was about to speak, but when he looked up and saw the indifferent expression of the young man above him, a bone-chilling chill ran up his spine, and he instantly became silent.
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.
The second chapter 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, and the typing is not going very smoothly.
It's the end of the month again. I 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~~
