Concubine Qiao patiently said: "Even if the mother and concubine tell you, what can you do? You still want to go against your father's will." She said earnestly, "Zhaohua, although your father dotes on you, this marriage cannot be tolerated." You, a junior, are the masters. Your father will definitely recruit a son-in-law for you who is both talented and talented, and you can just wait for the marriage with peace of mind."
Murong Chang bit her lower lip, her delicate white face tensed stubbornly.
Concubine Qiao looked at her daughter's expression, sighed secretly, and continued: "Zhaohua, you are favored by your father, enjoy all kinds of glory, all kinds of wealth, and enjoy the best in the world, but you must also bear corresponding responsibilities. According to your father's arrangement, get married obediently. Listen to your mother and concubine, go back to the bedroom and rest."
This daughter was spoiled by His Majesty, stubborn and headstrong, I don't know if something will happen this time.
"Who will supervise the selection of the son-in-law?" Murong Chang asked nonchalantly, his black and white eyes flashing with determination.
"What do you want to do?" Concubine Qiao had a bad feeling and felt uneasy.
"Who Supervises"
"It's your brother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw her daughter rushing out like a whirlwind.
She sighed worriedly, this daughter has always been very assertive and strong in everything, as a mother, she can't resist her at all, and often she can only let her daughter.
East Palace.
Murong Ci was reviewing the rosters of the sons of famous families and young talented officials handed over by He Guang, Minister of Rites, in the study room, reviewing and screening these people's background, talents, learning, and character, and eliminating those with obvious flaws and conduct.
The essay test was scheduled for two days later, and Murong Cheng came up with the questions for the essay test.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside.
"Princess, you can't go in" was Qin Ruo's blocking voice.
"Dog slave, get out of the way" was Princess Zhaohua's fierce and sharp voice.
Murong Ci reluctantly put down the roster, and Zhaohua really came.
Although she ordered Qinruo and Ruyi, if Princess Zhaohua came to ask for an audience, don't let the princess come in. However, she also knew that Princess Zhaohua wanted to force her way in, and no one could stop her.
Murong Chang hurried in, as if bringing wind and thunder, the study room was suddenly dark and covered with dark clouds.
If Qin saw His Highness waving his hand, she withdrew.
"Brother Prince, you promised me to help my sister, why are you trying to harm my sister now?"
Murong Chang yelled and asked, as if he had eaten explosives, a ball of anger exploded like a thunder in the turbulent sky with a bang, causing the surrounding ruins to be ruined, devastated, and horrible.
Because of her rushing all the way here, and because of her violent anger, her face was flushed, and her smooth forehead was covered with thin sweat.
"Why did the imperial sister say that, how could I harm you?" Murong Ci said unhurriedly.
"You said that you had to find a way to persuade father and emperor to give marriage to my sister and Yu Wang, but what happened?" she asked cracklingly, anxious like ants on a hot pot, "not only did you not give a marriage, but you had to get married for my sister. Elder brother-in-law, how could you do this?"
"Imperial Sister, as the elder brother, I naturally hope to marry a man of my liking. The selection of the consort was not proposed by me to the Royal Father, but by someone else. I am just appointed by the Royal Father to supervise it. "
"It's not the prince brother, who suggested it?"
"It's not like you don't know that there are many concubines in the harem, but the emperor only listens to one person."
"It's Concubine Xiao"
Murong Chang bit her lower lip, her delicate white teeth shone like a sword.
Murong Ci stood up and persuaded slowly: "Sister, Father did this because he loves you and hopes to find you the best and best son-in-law. Father didn't marry you and King Yu, maybe it's I feel that Yu Wang is a little older and doesn't match you well."
Murong Chang immediately retorted: "What's the matter when I'm a little older? If you don't want to marry him in this life, it must be Concubine Xiao Guifei who kept your father in the ear and told him not to marry your sister and Yuwang. It must be her."
"Sister, the essay test will be held in two days, what are you going to do?"
"Yes, what should my sister do?"
Murong Chang murmured, the consort selection competition is imminent, and the fire is imminent, how can the emperor change his mind in just two days
Is it possible for Yu Wang to sign up to participate
Murong Ci lowered his voice and said: "Imperial sister, as the saying goes, if you cook raw rice and cook it, he can't help but deny it."
Murong Chang's beautiful eyes lit up like flames, "Yes, why didn't my sister think of that?" She frowned, and said distressedly, "But if he doesn't want to, then what should I do?"
Murong Ci whispered a few words in her ear, Murong Chang heard this, beamed with joy and said: "Thank you, Brother Prince. If my sister's wish comes true in the future, I will definitely thank Brother Prince."
Murong Ciyu smiled lightly, "We are brothers and sisters, why be polite?"
Go to the study.
The hall was silent, only the chirping of Zhizhi could be heard from afar. There is an ice mirror next to the desk, and the cold icy air curls up to dissipate the excruciating heat.
The memorials on the case were like a hill, and with Murong Yu's efficient review, the hill gradually became lower, and the memorials were arranged neatly and neatly.
The waiter changed a cup of tea, he stared at the memorial and stretched out his hand to bring the tea, took a sip and hurriedly put it down, picked up the imperial pen and wrote steadily, like a dragon.
Next, change to a memorial.
He is very focused, and his side face seems to condense the beauty and danger of mountains and peaks, condenses the colorful beauty of the world and the sky, and is carved by skilled craftsmen. Those thick and dark eyelash feathers fluttered smoothly, and those deep and bottomless eyes shone with a jade-like glow, as if there was no other in the world, which made people's heart beat.
At this time, the voices of guards and servants kowtowing came from outside the hall: "I pay my respects to Princess Zhaohua."
Then there was the voice of the servants blocking her, and Princess Zhaohua said proudly, "I have important matters to see the King, please get out of the way."
Murong Yu looked at the servant who was quietly standing aside, "Let her in."
The servant led the order to go out, and after a while, Murong Chang came in with the court lady Yuanxiu who was close to her.
Yuan Xiu held the vermilion lacquered wooden case in his hand, bowed his head and bowed down: "My servant pays homage to the lord."
"Get up." Murong Yu said indifferently, "The princess has something important to do in the study."
"My lord takes care of the government for my father, and I put my heart and soul into it, and I can be an example for my ministers. As a princess, I should remind my father to take care of my body." Murong Chang's dimples are like flowers, and her face is like a bright red and rich peony blooming. Yuyan Yingying said, "This is the rose dew that I ordered the imperial dining room to make, as well as fresh melons and fruits that have been chilled. The prince has a rest and tastes what I want."
"Let's put it down. The princess's kindness, the king has accepted it." He was as cold and distant as ever, "The sun is in full swing, the princess is golden, I'd better go back to the bedroom to rest more."
The cold eyes were focused on the woman in front of her. Princess Zhaohua was wearing a summer shirt with emerald lotus leaf sleeves and a bi-color silk skirt. The emerald green of her body is soft and soft, making her skin more radiant than snow, just like a fine jasper lying quietly in the icy flowing spring, the green color becomes more pure and translucent. The black and smooth Lingyue bun is embellished with pearls and emeralds, and a golden hairpin inlaid with jasper leaves is inserted, adding a bit of forest charm, delicate and charming.
Today's makeup is different from the luxurious, gorgeous and luxuriant ones of the past. It is green and lively, like a natural carving of jasper.
Murong Chang believed that his vision would never be wrong.
Like Yu Wang, who is so beautiful on the battlefield, generals and nobles in the imperial capital, ordinary women can't catch his eyes at all.
Therefore, today she spent a lot of thought on dressing up.
Seeing his eyes lingering on her for a moment, she beamed with joy, her demeanor became softer, her smile softer, and her voice clearer, "My lord, please taste the rose dew."
After that, he looked at Yuan Xiu and the servant, and motioned for them to leave.
The servant has served the king in the upper study for five years, and he knows his temper well, but he dare not quit just because of the princess' eyes.
The servant didn't leave until Yuwang looked at him.
The door of the hall was half closed, and the inside of the hall was a bit dark. In the floating sky, Murong Chang stared at him bewilderedly.
"My lord, in this life, I will not marry unless you are the only one in this palace."
Her voice was soft, frankly expressing her yearning and longing for him.
The simplest language, the most profound feelings.
"The princess loves so much, I am ashamed to be the king." Murong Yu stood up and left the desk, his voice still as indifferent as autumn water, "This is a major marriage event, the crown prince and the Ministry of Rites are preparing a competition for the princess' son-in-law, and the princess will be chosen soon Consort, please rest assured that the princess will wait."
"The lord has the world in his heart, can't he tolerate a weak woman in this palace?" She understood what he meant, and suddenly felt as if a bucket of ice water was being poured from the top of her head, making her limbs cold, but she was also angry because of his cowardice, and her anger continued to rise. "Is the lord afraid to disobey the order? The lord monopolizes the government, puts all the power in the hands of the people, kills and makes decisions, and he will do it?"
"The princess misunderstood. Whether the princess' son-in-law is a child of the four great families or a son of a famous family, he must not be the king."
"Why"
"The princess is loved by thousands of people, and the emperor's daughter Shaohua is the most honorable princess in the Yan Kingdom. Many young talented officials yearn for it, and many descendants of aristocratic families ask for marriage. This king has a family, a country, a community, and the people in his heart, but there is no princess. "
Murong Yu's voice was slow, with a touch of indifference, bloodthirsty like a blade, sharp as a sword, and he told her bluntly that he didn't like her.
Murong Chang's legs were weak, and he could not restrain himself from staggering two steps back.
The blade cut across the heart, and the tip of the sword pierced the soul.
Her small face was pale, extremely white, and her limbs were so cold that they seemed to be surrounded by ice.
why
What's wrong with her, he refused her affection so mercilessly.
She stared at him, her beautiful eyes were rippling, watery and shining, her brows were sad, and she was about to cry.
What exactly is this for
"My lord already has someone in mind." Murong Chang tried his best to restrain himself so that he didn't get angry and lost his composure.
"Yes and what, no and what?" Murong Yu's deep eyes were soaked in coldness, and there was a little pride on his brows, "This king will only marry the woman who wins the king's heart in this life, and that woman is definitely not a princess." .”
