sick prince phoenix concubine

Chapter 277

The annual Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet came to an end, but Xia Feng was stumped by one thing.

Since Xiangrui Jiji was defeated, it is understood that the threshold of the prime minister's mansion will be broken by those who talk about marriage.

But why does Mo Chen seem to be in a hurry?
Aren't you afraid that the prime minister agreed to the other family's marriage proposal?
I have probed his tone several times and asked if he wants to give him a marriage, but without any surprise, he has always refused.

In the past, I was thinking that the girl Xiangrui was still young, but now she is not young, she has reached the age of marriage.

"Your majesty, are you worried about the prince's marriage?" Sheng Jian'an asked.

In recent days, the emperor is often worried about this matter, and he knows it.

Recently, both inside and outside the court are peaceful, apart from this, there is nothing else that can make the emperor so worried.

"What kind of mind is this Mo Chen?" Xia Feng murmured softly.

Sheng Jian'an: "Perhaps it's because the prince has a thin face, so I'm sorry to mention it to the emperor? Think about it carefully, how many women have you sent into the palace in the past year, but in the end the prince found a reason to send them back.

"And the prince and the princess often meet in private, which shows that the prince and the princess are in love with each other."

"Yeah!" Xia Feng said, "Even you can see the feelings between these two people, but the two parties don't seem to be in a hurry."

He couldn't help but think of the spies' reports he had heard this year.

——"The princess entered the palace and stayed for a day before being sent back to the palace."

——"The princess arrived at the palace early in the morning, and never returned at night."

——"The princess and the prince left the mansion together and did not return all night."

After pondering for a moment, Xia Feng felt that he understood.

"Your Majesty, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, you should rest earlier today—"

"Sheng Jian'an, draw up a decree!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard Xia Feng's words, and he was stunned for a moment: "Your Majesty, what is your intention?"

Xia Feng: "I decided to give Mo Chen a surprise tomorrow."
-
The Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet was held as scheduled.

Those who participated included the imperial concubines, ministers and their families, and people from aristocratic families.

And when Xia Feng asked Sheng Jianan to come with the imperial decree, he found that the two protagonists were not there.

He sat down, looked for a gap, and casually asked: "Prime Minister Qian, why didn't Xiangrui come?"

Qian Chengzhi got up and replied respectfully: "Report to the emperor, the little girl is unwell and should not be exposed to the wind, so she is recuperating in the mansion."

In fact, he hadn't seen his daughter for several days, but when the emperor asked at this time, he couldn't answer with a sentence of "I don't know".

Because of the battle a year ago, Ling'er was indeed raising her body in the mansion this year, so it would certainly not arouse suspicion.

Xia Feng was speechless for a while: "Since you are not feeling well, you must take good care of it."

As for Xia Mochen.
It is common for him not to attend such banquets, and he thought that if Xiangrui came, he would not be absent.

Unexpectedly, neither of them arrived.

There were too many palace banquets like this, and tonight's main event was gone, Xia Feng lost some interest.

Just when the banquet was in the middle, a guard suddenly came to report: "The emperor, a person who claims to be the young master of the Yuansheng Pavilion is asking to see him."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent.

Yuansheng Pavilion. It seems that I haven't heard this name for a long time.

This force also disappeared in Tianqi long ago, and now it suddenly appeared.
"Where is this person now?" Xia Feng asked.

"The gate of the palace."

Xia Feng squinted his eyes: "Bring it in."

"Your Majesty, this Yuansheng Pavilion has never heard of a young master. This person suddenly appeared, I am afraid it is a fraud."

What happened a year ago, they still have lingering fears.

Tianqi couldn't stand another such toss.

"Yuansheng Pavilion has disappeared for so long, and now it appears too suddenly, so we should deal with it carefully."

"Yuansheng Pavilion has always been mysterious. It seemed that it suddenly appeared in Tianqi overnight, and then disappeared overnight. Now it comes back with such great fanfare. Its purpose is really puzzling."

"I'm afraid it's not good"

"."

Since the battle a year ago, the remaining four great families have become a little more united than before.

Minor internal strife belongs to internal strife, but the attitude towards external forces is rarely consistent.

A Yuansheng Pavilion that had disappeared for a long time suddenly appeared, which had to make them vigilant.

After all, no one wants to experience what happened before.

Several Patriarchs looked at each other, and then remained silent.

While there was a lot of discussion, the person who claimed to be the young master of Yuansheng Pavilion came to the main hall.

Holding a box in his hand, he stopped in the middle of the hall.

The man was dressed in a purple brocade suit, with black hair in a high bun, and a thin and tall figure.

With fair skin and a handsome face, he looks like a noble man.

This is somewhat different from what everyone imagined.

He held the box in one hand, and made a one-handed salute with the other:

"Hello, Your Majesty, my name is Xiao Kai, and I am the young master of the Yuansheng Pavilion. I was murdered by a traitor before, so the Yuansheng Pavilion fell into his hands. He used the power of the Yuansheng Pavilion to cause great harm to the Tianqi Kingdom. big impact.

"Now that the traitor has been eliminated, I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to the emperor and all the ministers. This is a gift of apology. I hope the emperor will accept it."

This made everyone present puzzled.

Yuanshengge was originally a force that collected money to do things for others, so it suddenly showed up with great fanfare to show its loyalty?

What kind of trouble is this?
The emperor did not speak, and the others naturally remained silent.

Xiao Kai just held the box in his hand steadily.

After a stalemate like this for a while, Xia Feng suddenly said, "Bring the things up."

Only then did Sheng Jian'an go down and took the box in his hand.

"Since the emperor has accepted this item, it means that you have accepted my apology." The corners of Xiao Kai's lips rose, "We are forces in the Jianghu, and the past grievances have been wiped out. Since then, the imperial court and Yuansheng Pavilion have been different from each other. coherent."

After the words fell, without giving the other party a chance to speak, he said again: "Everyone, please continue, I will take my leave."

Leave a word, and people leave.

Come in a hurry, likewise, go in a hurry.

Before the ministers could react, he had already disappeared.

This move can be described as arrogant and defiant.

It seems to tell you clearly that I, Yuansheng Pavilion, are back.
-
After the palace banquet was over, just as Qian Chengzhi and the others returned to the mansion, the emperor's imperial decree arrived right after.

After hearing the imperial decree, Qian Ling was a little confused.

When did she and Xia Mochen show their familiarity outside?
Still in love?Love each other?

At the same time, Xiaoyao Wangfu also received the same imperial decree.

Xia Mochen looked at the content of the imperial decree, feeling a little helpless.
-
Early the next morning, news about the return of Yuansheng Pavilion spread throughout the streets and alleys.

For the common people, this is frightening news.

A killer organization should act in a low-key manner, but Yuansheng Pavilion is uncharacteristically, returning with a high profile.

This behavior is somewhat incomprehensible.

And there is also the same rumor about the marriage between Princess Xiangrui and King Xiaoyao——

"Princess Xiangrui is the great benefactor who saved the imperial city, why did she betrothed to that sick child of King Xiaoyao?"

"It's really a shame. If the prince can't live for a few years, wouldn't the princess have to be a widow at a young age?"

"This matter should be the princess's will. The emperor can't force the decree. This is the auspicious princess, not someone else."

"Let's not talk about the marriage decree, the two are in love with each other, and they are in love with each other."

"Aside from other things, the looks of the two of them alone are quite a match. Maybe this will be a good match."

"."

But at this time, the Prime Minister's Mansion welcomed an unexpected guest.

Qian Ling sat on the chair, looked at the bound man, held a cup of hot tea in his hand, but did not drink it, caressing the cup with his hands casually.

Her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly: "Tell me, who are you?"

Although the man was restrained, he didn't panic in the slightest.

His attitude is indifferent, unhurried, with a smile in his seductive fox eyes, even if he is reduced to a prisoner, he still maintains his outstanding appearance.

"When I first entered the imperial city, I heard about the majestic appearance of the princess, so I wanted to admire it." The man showed regret, "However, the princess has not been out of the palace for a long time, and I can't meet the people by chance, so I have to make such a bad plan." , Come into the Prime Minister's Mansion."

His attitude was casual and his expression was lazy, as if he was chatting with an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.

Qian Ling raised his eyelids and said calmly:
"The princess asked who you are, but didn't ask why you appeared. To answer the question, you still have to examine the question first."

"The princess wants to know my name so much?" The man smiled and said, "Could it be that he was dissatisfied with the marriage bestowed by the emperor, and fell in love with him at first sight?"

Qian Ling calmly put down the teacup in her hand, just about to reach out to use her spiritual power, when she thought of something, she stopped.

The expression on his face remained unchanged, and he said lightly:

"One needs to have self-knowledge in one's life. Confidence, if you use it too much, you don't know what's good or bad."

"According to what the Princess wants, I'm quite satisfied with this marriage." The man smiled half-smile.

Qian Ling: "Whether you are satisfied or not is a personal matter for the princess, what has it to do with you?"

"Of course it has something to do with it." The man said, "Because I fell in love with the princess at first sight. If the princess has nothing to do with her, it means I still have a chance, right?"

"Really?" Qian Ling stared at him twice, and then said very calmly, "You are not the daughter of this princess, and such things as opportunities will not fall on your head."

"Tsk tsk tsk" the man looked shocked, "The princess is really ruthless."

Qian Ling was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he called out, "Xiao Hei."

After the words were finished, the black tiger who had been obediently lying under the girl's feet changed his lazy appearance, and got up with a "swish", staring at the man with a pair of penetrating tiger eyes as if he was staring at his prey.

A crack appeared on the man's face.

If it wasn't for this guy, no one would have noticed him coming in.

A good plan fell short, and all of them were defeated by it.

It was also unexpected to him that the beautiful and delicate girl would raise such a ferocious beast.

Qian Ling raised his hand and patted Heihu's head: "Just don't kill him."

This guy has grown up a lot in a year, and there is a clear king character vaguely on his forehead.

On weekdays, he is obedient with a cat, but once he enters a fighting state, the aura of the king of the forest will be revealed.

Now he got the master's order, and he walked towards the tied man step by step.

He circled around him twice, as if thinking about where to start.

The powerful aura emanating from it, no matter how calm the man was, the subconsciously frowned eyebrows still revealed the tension in his heart.

Suddenly, Xiao Hei stopped observing, and then returned to Qian Ling.

One moment he was majestic, but the next moment a dramatic scene happened.

I saw its tiger eyes looking at its master with aggrieved eyes.

"What's wrong with Xiao Hei?" Jimeng asked puzzled from the side.

Qian Ling patted it on the head reassuringly: "Xiao Hei, have you forgotten what I told you? Don't be picky eaters, do you understand?"

Looking at the serious teaching appearance, the man: "???"

So this is him, being rejected?
Disliked by a beast?
He has never been humiliated like this since he was a child, and even though he has always maintained his composure, his chest is also filled with a little oppression.

After the master's education and his own inner struggle, Xiao Hei returned to the man again.

This time, he attacked the man without hesitation.

The man dodges.

Although it didn't look too easy, it didn't look awkward.

"Princess, we will meet again." After leaving such a sentence, the person disappeared in place.

In this regard, Qian Ling did not show any surprise.

Jing Xu walked in and told Qian Ling about the palace banquet last night.

"Young Master of Yuansheng Pavilion." Qian Ling murmured softly.

At the beginning, I only met the killer of Yuansheng Pavilion, and even after being wiped out, I didn't see any master stand up.

Now a young master suddenly appeared, and he returned with such great fanfare and high profile.

She once doubted the relationship between Yuansheng Pavilion and Shenyu.
As for the incident a year ago, the world only thought that the Shen family was plotting to rebel and usurp the throne, and they didn't know that the mastermind behind it was the God Realm they worshiped.

Now that Yuansheng Pavilion is reappearing in such a high-profile way, it is very likely that God's Domain is making a comeback again.

The woman who couldn't see the face had said that they would come back again.

So, this is a year of dormancy, did it appear in this way?
"What is the background of this young master?"

Jing Xu: "His name is Xiao Kai. I don't know the rest. Everyone who attended the palace banquet has seen this person."

Qian Ling: "Then go check it out."

Regardless of whether this Yuansheng Pavilion has anything to do with God's Domain, the enmity that has been forged has not yet been avenged.

At the beginning they kidnapped the fourth brother and threatened themselves. Now that they appeared, this should be settled.

"Jing Xu, when you go to investigate, take your fourth brother with you."

Jing Xu didn't expect that she would make such a request, and besides the surprise, there was a flash of surprise in his eyes.

"What do you mean, miss?"

I didn't understand the meaning, so I asked one more question.

Qian Ling took a sip of the newly replaced hot tea beside her:
"I see that my fourth brother has not been as reckless and impulsive as before in recent years. Although he has grown up and is smart, he has too little exposure to the outside world.

"He is kind, and his heart is simple. You are different. You have seen a lot of worlds, and you have a sense of propriety in what you say and do. You can take him with you for things like this that are not too dangerous."

"This can be regarded as giving you a task that is neither serious nor important." She sighed, "If you don't want to, you don't have to agree, I just mentioned it casually."
