In Hua Liuli's view, Emperor Changlong was really a good man.
The eldest prince's character is too upright, and marrying the daughter of a family of military generals is a good choice, not only for him to open a convenient channel from the military in the future, but also to show that he values military generals.
He trusts the Hua family, at least now, so he wants her to marry the eldest prince who is simple in his mother's power, which not only gives her a distinguished identity, but also does not make her life too bad after marriage. .
It's a pity that hope is good, but people's hearts can change. The eldest prince is not necessarily willing to be an ordinary prince, and the emperor may one day suspect the Hua family, so her best choice is not to marry any prince.
Before coming to the capital, His Majesty also mentioned the marriage of the First Prince and her, but after arriving in the capital, he never mentioned it again, indicating that His Majesty gave up this plan.
Part of the reason why her title of county princess could come so easily may have come from the compensation after your Majesty's repentance.
Anyway, there is no need to marry the King of England, and there is an additional title of county master, Hua Liuli thinks it is quite cost-effective.
But Emperor Changlong didn't think so.
He flipped through the memorial from Dali Temple and saw that it said that Fushou County Master was retaliated by the killer because she destroyed the Donggong Assassin case, and sighed.
"Imperial Father, which royal family is crying poor, or which of the two families are making trouble?" Seeing Father Emperor sigh, the crown prince who followed Emperor Changlong to learn governance raised his head, leaned back on the chair, and no longer wanted to look at the table Take a look at the memorials above.
"It's the case where Fushou County Master was almost kidnapped." Emperor Changlong handed the Dali Temple memorial to the crown prince, "I'm sorry for the Hua family."
It was agreed that the little girl from the Hua family would be the British princess, but she regretted it. Now, because the little girl accidentally rescued the prince, she was hated by the murderer, and she was almost taken away.
The prince took over the memorial and read it, but after a long silence he did not speak.
"Yuansu?" Emperor Changlong looked at him sideways when he saw that the prince was silent.
"My son is thinking that the killer organized such an illegal group and should be strongly attacked." The prince put the memorial on the table, "The little girl of the Hua family is the master of Dajin County, and if they dare to do something to her, it is a provocation to the court. "
Emperor Changlong: "What do you think?"
"All the prefectures check the household registration, and those who have unknown origins will be strictly guarded." The prince turned to look at Emperor Changlong, "The slaves who are privately raised by the aristocratic families must also be registered in the register."
Emperor Changlong's eyes changed slightly: "Yuan Su, this matter should not be rushed."
"My son understands." The prince looked at the memorial with the words "Fu Shou County Master". "If it fails in one year, it will take ten years, and if it fails in ten years, it will take twenty years."
Emperor Changlong nodded slightly. The father and son did not discuss this matter any further, but they both understood that some things could not be compromised for the sake of the common people.
That afternoon, Hua Liuli received another gift from the palace, as well as an imperial edict that the emperor praised her. What kind of praises like tiger fathers but no dogs and daughters, smart and beautiful, and so on, were all placed on her as if they didn't want money.
People who don't know will definitely think that she is strong in martial arts, just like her father.
Hua Liuli: "..."
No, she is very weak, very helpless, and very incompetent, she is a delicate girl among a bunch of tigers.
His Majesty the Emperor was very generous, not only praised her, but also gave her a Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing, and the land near Zhuangzi became her private property.
His Majesty's generosity made Hua Liuli instantly forget those exaggerated words of praise. After sending off the eunuch who issued the decree, Hua Liuli said to Iris, "Your Majesty is really considerate, even considering where the face I will raise in the future will live."
It is not uncommon for aristocratic women to raise Mian Shou in the capital, but because it is not on the table, they generally raise Mian Shou in their own villas.
"It's a pity that I'm used to seeing men like the prince and the three older brothers. When I look at other men, I always feel ordinary and boring." Hua Liuli sighed, "How can there be a face that you can see?"
"If you don't have to look at King Ying, maybe when you look at other men, you might think they're all pretty good?" Iris joked with a smile.
"Although King Ying's appearance is not as good as that of the prince and his brothers, the royal people still have the aura, at least they are stronger than ordinary men." Hua Liuli coughed dryly, "Besides, am I the kind of superficial person who only looks at the face?"
"I'm a person who sees both the face and the inner meaning." Hua Liuli shook her finger, "Even if I don't plan to marry someone, I can't wrong myself."
"Yeah, lest there will be rumors from the capital that the Fushou County Master, who is weak and gasping for walking, is addicted to male sex, and even loses his life." Hua Changkong walked into the room and sat down beside Hua Liuli, "Then It's so lively."
"It's romantic to die as a ghost under the peony flower." Hua Liuli smiled lightly, pretending to be shy.
"Poor mouth." Hua Changkong stretched out her hand to flick her head, "You said it so powerfully, but I haven't seen any man you like."
"Third brother, how can you say this to a pure and shy little girl, people are so shy." Hua Liuli covered her face and took away Hua Changkong's purse, "This is for your lovely sister's great cause of raising her face. , make a small contribution."
The two brothers and sisters laughed for a while, Hua Changkong looked at his beautiful sister, his heart was sour: "Little sister, I have wronged you."
"Third brother, what are you talking about?" Hua Liuli opened her eyes wide and said with a smile, "I am a weak and sickly little girl, living a life of eating, drinking, and having fun every day, what can I be wronged?"
She hid the purse: "No matter what you say, I won't return the purse to you, so give up."
Hua Changkong: "… "
He knew that all lyricism was useless in front of the little sister.
As the spring season is getting closer and closer, Hua Changkong doesn't go out much anymore, and stays in the study all day to do questions and study. Hua Liuli was worried that he was under too much pressure to study, so she changed the method to make the kitchen cook for Hua Changkong.
When the first month was about to pass, the old man of the Tian family was gone.
When the mourning letter was spread to all the prefectures, everyone sighed. The old man of the Tian family was a sensible man. Now that he died, King Ying was one step further away from the crown prince.
Grandpa Tian had served as a second-rank officer before his death, and he had a good reputation in the official circle. In addition, his daughter was a concubine in the palace, and every family in the capital had to go to Tian's house to offer condolences.
As a junior, Hua Liuli is also going.
She changed into a gorgeous brocade skirt, put on a plain cotton skirt, tied her hair in a bun with a few simple plain silver hairpins, and hurried to Tianfu in a carriage.
At the gate of Tian Mansion, Tian Ruidong was wearing filial attire and greeted the guests with red and swollen eyes.
Hua Liuli got off the carriage and passed Tian Ruidong when she heard him sobbing in a low voice: "Master Tian, please mourn."
"Thank you, County Master." Tian Ruidong gave Hua Liuli a salute.
Hua Liuli didn't know how to comfort him, so she bowed her knees and returned to the sacrificial hall.
The altar was filled with fireworks, and the tablet with the word Master Tian was placed in the center. The descendants of the Tian family knelt on the ground and cried, whimpering.
The King of England stood beside the mourning hall, and there were traces of crying on his face. He is a prince. According to the rules, he does not need to wear linen and filial piety to his grandfather, but today his hair is tied with hemp rope, and his clothes are only simple white cotton robes.
The person who arrived in front of her was the Princess Jiamin. The two looked at each other for a moment, but they rarely spoke or mocked each other.
"Bye." She and Jiamin County Lord stepped forward together, bowed and saluted.
"Mourning, incense."
Hua Liuli took the incense and bowed three times, slightly behind, and only followed after Princess Jiamin inserted the incense into the incense burner.
There were other female relatives behind to offer condolences to the deceased. Hua Liuli withdrew from the door next to her. When she went out, she turned to look at the Princess Jiamin, who was walking towards the King of England.
Not long after, the Princess Jiamin also came out, looking very depressed. Seeing Hua Liuli standing under the tree in the yard, she couldn't help but say, "Aren't you in bad health, why are you here?"
Does she still have ideas for the King of England
She is the only one with the female family members of the Hua family in the capital. Who else can come if she doesn't come? However, Hua Liuli was too lazy to talk to Princess Jiamin at this time, so she just covered her chest and coughed a few times without speaking.
Seeing Hua Liuli's appearance, Princess Jiamin remembered that she didn't do anything, and when others mistakenly thought she was bullying Hua Liuli, she had to endure her anger and turned around and left the yard.
"The county master." Iris adjusted the cloak for Hua Liuli, "It's windy here, let's go to the front hall."
"Okay." Hua Liuli glanced at the other female relatives standing in the yard, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times.
She turned around and was about to leave. Seeing the haggard-looking King of England walking out of the sacrificial hall, she wanted to pretend she didn't see it and continued to walk outside.
"Fu Shou County Lord."
Hua Liuli knew that Princess Jiamin would give her the Flying Eye Knife again later.
"His Royal Highness King Ying." Hua Liuli turned around with a smile and bowed to King Ying.
"Many thanks to the county lord for coming to offer condolences." King Ying saw that Hua Liuli's face was pale and worried that she would not be able to stand the cold. "There is a conservatory next to me, and this king will send you there."
"It's okay, just find someone to lead the way." Hua Liuli saw the bloodshot eyes in King Ying's eyes, "I also ask your Highness to mourn."
King Ying smiled reluctantly: "Thank you."
Instead of insisting on sending Hua Liuli over, he called a servant and asked her to send Hua Liuli there.
When they got to the conservatory, Hua Liuli met Jiamin's eyes again.
"County Lord, we really have fate." Hua Liuli pretended not to see the hostility in Jiamin County Lord's eyes, and sat down on the padded chair.
Princess Jiamin looked at her, and the corners of her lips moved. Hua Liuli thought she would say something sarcastic, but she didn't expect that this grumpy county master would say nothing.
In this warm room, the two sat facing each other without saying a word.
After a long time, Princess Jiamin looked at Hua Liuli with red eyes: "You know, Princess Ying has settled down."
Hua Liuli cried out in her heart: I don't know!
"It's not you." Princess Jiamin's voice trembled, "It's not me either."
Hua Liuli was silent for a moment: "You... condolences?"
Princess Jiamin: "..."
The room was burning with incense, Hua Liuli's eyes swept over the incense burner, and suddenly stood up: "Go, this room is wrong."
Princess Jiamin: "..."
Even if you don't want to stay in the same room with her, you don't need to act so exaggeratedly.
Just as she was about to say, don't think that she couldn't see that Hua Liuli was secretly laughing at her in her heart, and before she had time to speak, she began to feel dizzy.
"You..." Princess Jiamin's eyes widened, staring at Hua Liuli.
What bad luck has she had recently, the man she likes has to marry another woman, and the woman she hates has to poison her.
It's all written in the book, if the lady is poisoned by her opponent, something terrible will definitely happen later.
Hua Liuli, this snake and scorpion woman!
The author has something to say: Hua Liuli: I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense.
