Bengong is actually a therapist!

Chapter 173
Qinzheng Hall.

On a small chessboard, black and white intertwined, as if the confrontation was fierce.

With a "snap", Yan Zheng dropped a sunspot and said at the same time, "I remember, your eldest son is already eighteen, and hasn't gotten married yet?"

Qingning Hou Meng Dongchuan hastily put down the white piece in his hand, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "A subject is only mediocre, so I wanted him to study hard for a few more years before we discuss marriage matters."

Yan Zheng waved his hand: "There is no need to be so formal, just sit down and continue playing chess."

"Yes." Meng Dongchuan just sat back and tried to concentrate on dealing with this game of chess.

Unexpectedly, Yan Zheng smiled again and said, "Speaking of which, my eldest daughter is also seventeen, so it's time to choose a son-in-law for her."

Hearing this, Marquis Qing Ning got up again, and then straightly gathered his clothes and knelt down: "Although I have received the grace of the former empress, I can enter the palace to study with you, but my qualifications are really stupid, how can I be worthy of my lord?!"

Yan Zheng carefully looked at the tense look on Qingninghou's face, "You don't have to be modest, I have always been very satisfied with the Meng family's upbringing. Although Empress Xianning has passed away, I always miss her." It was actually quite sentimental.

Meng Dongchuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "The emperor's love is the blessing of the former empress, and the blessing of the whole Meng family."

Yan Zheng nodded slowly: "I thought, your mother is from the Yu family, and Xiangfei is also from the Yu family. Therefore, Xiangfei also quite agrees with this matter." ——It's just that the concubine is arguing not to marry.

Meng Dongchuan couldn't help feeling anxious, "Concubine Xiang is the Yu family, I'm afraid it's hard to refuse because of the affection of relatives. The dog is really worthless, I hope the emperor thinks twice!"

"You really don't mean that?" Yan Zheng asked with narrowed eyes.

Meng Dongchuan gritted his teeth and said, "I would never dare to have such intentions!"

There was a trace of coldness in Yan Zheng's eyes.Although he never revealed his intention to get married, Wang Shu summoned Meng Shu into the palace, and also asked Chen Shi to accompany him. Such and such, with Meng Dongchuan's cleverness, how could he not have guessed that his daughter would also have a chance to marry into the royal family?
But it's just a chance.

For this opportunity of his daughter, he directly refused to let the eldest son Shangzhu?
This is probably too much to lose.

But Meng Dongchuan insisted on making such a move that "the gain outweighs the loss", which only shows that he had planned for a long time ago.

A prince concubine and a son-in-law are the same.

unless……

What he pictured was not a little prince or concubine, let alone a mere future princess.

Just like back then, the Meng family married the intelligent Meng Ying to me.

Yan Zheng closed his eyes. After all, I neglected it. I only remembered Meng Ying's virtue, but I almost forgot that she was quite ambitious before I became the throne.

"Get up, since you don't want to, will I still force your son to marry my daughter?" Yan Zheng said with a kind smile on his face, that's all.

"I heard from the imperial concubine that your daughter is also very outstanding, and she looks a bit like her aunt."

The topic touched on his own daughter, and Meng Dongchuan was overjoyed from the bottom of his heart, so he got up and said modestly: "The imperial concubine is absurdly praised."

Yan Zheng pointed to the chessboard: "Continue playing chess."

"Yes!" Meng Dongchuan hastily made a move, and this rush to make a move was a bad move.Even though the emperor seized the opportunity, Meng Dongchuan tried his best to deal with it, but in the end he lost everything.

"The emperor's chess skills have improved again, and the minister has lost again." Losing a game of chess to the emperor is not something to be ashamed of, Meng Dongchuan readily gave up his son and gave up.

Yan Zheng laughed and said, "It's not that I'm getting more diligent, but that I'm using outside moves, and your mind is not on the chessboard, how can you win?"

"Yes, it's because I'm not paying attention." Meng Dongchuan hastily cupped his hands.

Yan Zheng smiled gently: "When my son grows up, he should settle the marriage. Only when he has a family can he establish a career."—I don't know whether this is referring to Meng Yuanqing or the second prince.

"Yes, I understand!" Meng Dongchuan couldn't help being overjoyed.

Yan Zheng: No, you don't understand.

After a few days, I heard that the emperor summoned young talents from various families in central Beijing to test their talents and martial arts one by one.Hearing this, the eldest princess and concubine were overjoyed, skipped class secretly, and even went to Yue Wangshu's Yuanzhi Palace.

"Mother and concubine, let's go to the school grounds to have a look!" Today is the day for the equestrian test for the children of each school. It is said that it is a civil and military test for the school, but it is obviously for the selection of a son-in-law.

Yue Wangshu shot him a look: "Don't mess around, if your mother and concubine find out, I will spank your ass carefully!"

"Even if I get spanked, I want to see it!" Xie Xi pouted, "This is choosing a consort for me! How can I not go and see it?"

But today I saw that you are wearing a delicate peach red jacket with willow green horse face skirt. This red and green dress is very bright, but it is indescribably charming and eye-catching when worn by such a delicate and lovely little daughter. .

In fact, Yue Wangshu also wanted to appreciate the young and fresh meat, but after Yun Shu's incident, he was worried that Yan Laoliu would lose his temper, so he didn't dare to go.

But... it seems that Xie Xie is dragging her there now...

"Okay, let's take a look at it from a distance." Yue Wangshu said with a smile.

The size of the teaching field in the palace was comparable to a football field, and there were sycamores planted around it, so Yue Wangshu got off the chariot early, and she and her concubine only brought their personal maids, and they moved forward cautiously, hiding under the sycamore trees. behind the tree.

That's right, it's voyeurism!

At this moment, handsome young men on tall horses were racing around the school grounds. The neighing of the horses could be heard endlessly, and a lot of dust was flying up in the teaching grounds. This made it even more concealed.

Not long after, handsome young men on horses came towards here.

Two heads popped out from behind the sycamore tree.

"Mother and concubine, the leader is tall and mighty, much stronger than Meng Yuanqing!" Xie Xi was a little excited.

Yue Wangshu smiled and said, "The one on the white horse in the back is even more handsome!"

"Yeah! He looks better than Pan An indeed!" Xie Xi blushed immediately, "Meng Yuanqing is not even worthy of carrying his shoes!"

Yue Wangshu: Take a good look at the handsome guy, don't always diss your cousin.

"The Marquis of Qing Ning has already proposed marriage to Meng Yuanqing..." He didn't pester you again.

Xie Xi stuck out her tongue, and this group of young men on big horses just galloped past here.The young man who looked better than Pan An was vigilant, and he noticed someone behind the plane tree, so he looked straight over.

At this moment, the four eyes of Xie Xie Shengsheng are facing each other.

The bold and unrestrained princess blushed, and hurriedly hid behind the plane tree, "Oh, we were discovered!"

Yue Wangshu said with a smile: "You were the one who was discovered!" - she had already retracted her head.

Xie Xi covered her burning face, "It's over, it's over, will he inform Father Emperor!"

Yue Wangshu couldn't help but said, "He didn't know you were a princess."

"That's right." Xie Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, your father will find out sooner or later." In front of the emperor, there is no reason not to guard closely, even though the two of them sneaked in, it is impossible to hide.

Xie Xie's eyes widened, "Then let's go!"

But it was obviously too late, Zhang Ji, the chief steward of the imperial court, walked over with a smile, "The emperor said, please go to the Yanqing Palace to wait for the empress and the princess."

Xie Xi's face turned ashen for a moment, but she still didn't regret it!
