Tian Sheng Monster Hunting

Chapter 61
Time passed quickly, and it had been half a month since Prime Minister Zuo came back. During this period, he did not do anything other than directing the Dali Temple to investigate the demon case. However, the fight between the second prince and the fifth prince seemed to subside after Prime Minister Zuo returned. No more officials were killed, which not only made people suspect that the previous cat demon case had something to do with the fight between the two of them.

Just after the new year, Emperor Zhao ordered to hold a wedding ceremony for Princess Shengyang.

In this meeting, all the royal family and nobles in Pingyang City, and the children of officials above the second rank can participate, which has never happened before.It seems that Emperor Zhao has always cared about the failure of the six-year marriage contract between Princess Shengyang and Sheng Feiyu. This time, he is determined to find a husband for her and get married soon.

The marriage recruitment conference coincided with the Lantern Festival, and the two grand events were held together. The palace was extremely lively, with colorful lights shining brightly, and the palace was filled with warm light, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

The protagonist of the banquet didn't seem to be very happy. Sheng Yang was sitting lazily on the right side of Emperor Zhao with a haughty attitude, frowning slightly. On her left were two princes, and below were all civil and military officials and relatives, singing and dancing in front of the hall. , but she didn't seem to be thinking about it, she rested her chin on one hand, and twirled the cup in her hand playfully with the other.

In fact, this afternoon, he had already chosen a son-in-law. Emperor Zhao made a big decision this time, and asked the Ministry of Rites to come up with a lot of ideas. He asked her to spend the afternoon in the pavilion and choose the one who can enter the palace to participate in the banquet through the screen. Young talents.

She just lay lazily on the couch, doing everything from her heart, anyway, through the screen, who would know that it wasn't her who was talking.After the conversation, it was Xin'er who made a random check for her, and it was these people sitting in front of the hall now.

Looking at His Highness's immature faces, she couldn't help but want to laugh.In fact, she is not young at all, if it is not for the blessing of this noble status, no matter how beautiful she is, she will be ridiculed by the people from all walks of life... No, no matter how noble her status is, if she cannot marry, she will always be a woman. A standard by which ignorant people talk and judge her.

Seeing some officials from His Highness whispering to each other with the strength of wine, she seemed to be able to guess what these people were talking about. It was nothing more than that Sheng Yang had always been arrogant, and at such an old age, he was still so picky.

It's good if you can't get married!
She doesn't want to marry at all, so far she only thought about marrying Duan Yuzhi, and now it's absolutely impossible, but she still has this wish in her heart, she can't force it to change, and there is no other way out.

She drank a glass of wine. If these people want to make arrangements, then let them do it. After all, they will never be able to obtain their own glorious status in a few lifetimes. Maybe belittling themselves will make their merits and virtues complete...

There was a smirk on the corner of her mouth, and she only heard Emperor Zhao say, "Second brother, I heard that you have always cared about your sister's marriage. I am so relieved. Is there any talent you can match your sister with today?"

The second prince was quite happy, "Going back to my father, I am really worried about my younger sister's marriage. The minister recommended for my younger sister is Qiao Nian, the eldest son of Qiao Wensong's family, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment. Coincidentally, he is at the banquet today."

Qiao Nian stood up, as rumored, he was indeed quite handsome, he didn't say much, he bowed, made an introduction, showed his admiration for the princess, and then sat down.

Emperor Zhao nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing this, the second prince worked even harder, "I think everyone knows that Qiao Nian is Duan Taifu's brother-in-law. He was strongly recommended by Duan Taifu in front of the palace to become Minister of the Ministry of Officials. He has worked under Erchen for the past year. Erchen Observing that he has a good character, a quick mind, and a dignified appearance, although there is still some gap with his younger sister's beauty, he is indeed a good boy.

Emperor Zhao nodded. He also had a good impression of Qiao Nian.

He looked at Duan Yuzhi and saw that he was drinking with a straight face, but he didn't take his wife with him, so he was angry again, so he deliberately called Duan Yuzhi up and asked.

"Duan Qing, Qiao Nian was recommended by you, and also your brother-in-law. Sheng Yang can be regarded as half of your student, and you know her quite well. In your opinion, how do these two match?"

When he asked this question, many courtiers in the hall snickered, and some acquaintances looked at each other, it seems that they usually gossip a lot.Ever since Luzhou came back, the matter between Duan Yuzhi and Princess Shengyang was no secret among the courtiers.This Emperor Zhao was really hurt, he asked his lover to stand up and evaluate his future husband like this, it was really murderous.Unexpectedly, this metaphor has always been stinky, and today Emperor Zhao specially raised it to warn and tease, which made some people feel relieved.

Duan Yuzhi said to Emperor Zhao expressionlessly, "I thought that Qiao Nian was indeed a young talent, but he was not good enough for Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Emperor Zhao snorted softly, "Who does Duan Qing think is worthy of me, Sheng Yang?"

Everyone looked at the excitement, but seeing Duan Yuzhi's face remained unchanged, he said, "I see, looking at the entire Tiansheng Dynasty, there is indeed no such thing."

"Hmph!" Emperor Zhao patted the table dissatisfied, and it's obvious what he has for the princess.

He looked at the fifth prince sitting beside him, "Fifth, what do you think?"

The fifth prince was stunned for a moment, this... his own marriage was arranged by his father and mother, how can he arrange it for others?
Seeing him like this, Emperor Zhao couldn't help but be angry with him and said, "You and your sister should be closer in principle, but somehow they are far apart. Your sister is young and ignorant, and you are older than her, but you are also ignorant." , never interfering with her marriage, there is absolutely no brother like you in the world!"

The fifth prince's face was full of innocence, and he wanted to cry but had no tears. Why did the father vent all his dissatisfaction with Duan Yuzhi on himself?

He organized his thoughts again and cheered up, "Father said this, I am really ashamed. In fact, I do have a best candidate in my heart. This person has outstanding achievements, noble character, tall and mighty. Also worthy of my younger sister...just...just going out all the time, rarely going back to Pingyang."

Emperor Zhao's eyes were full of light, and finally one of them touched his heart!
He laughed and said, "Didn't you mean the lonely hussar general Yun Yang!"

"Exactly! Father, Erchen went to school with Yun Yang and his younger sister since he was a child. Yun Yang cared for his younger sister. This was obvious to all brothers and clan children at that time! If he hadn't been stationed outside all the time, he wouldn't have missed this opportunity." Duan Liangyuan has been there for so long."

When he said this, several clan disciples in the hall agreed with him.

Emperor Zhao nodded, but suddenly thought of Mr. Yun, the smile on his face darkened immediately, and he said, "At that time, it was all children's games, so it can't be taken seriously. Yun Yang has been away for many years, and I am afraid that he has long since lost his love for his children. I don't want to discuss this matter any more, does anyone else have any recommendation?"

Duan Yuzhi temporarily let go of his hanging heart. He is not afraid of other cats or dogs, but Yun Yang is the only one who makes him care a little bit.After all, he is somewhat similar to Sheng Yang, they are both aloof people, and their status and status match extremely well. Emperor Zhao admires Yun Yang very much, and Yun Yang's thoughts on Sheng Yang are also well known, but Sheng Yang has never had such thoughts... …

He drank a glass of wine in frustration, Duan Yuzhi, you are so selfish!You are already married, do you want a person like Sheng Yang who needs to be loved and cared for to live alone?

At this time, a person stood up in the hall, it was Yun Fei, he came out and bowed, "Your Highness, I am not standing for myself, but for my elder brother, who was very anxious when he learned that the Holy Majesty was recruiting a relative for Princess Shengyang." , He has no choice but to command the foreign army like a mountain, and without the order of the saint, he will never return to Pingyang, so he specially wrote to ask the minister to propose marriage to Princess Shengyang on his behalf. This is my brother's token of marriage proposal, if your highness is willing, please accept it. "

He knelt down facing Sheng Yang's seat, and handed over the token with both hands, which was a dagger.

"My brother asked me to tell His Highness that since he was a child, his friendship with His Highness has never changed. This is what he wanted to give to His Highness when he won the first battle and returned to Pingyang to collect it. However, His Highness was ill at that time. He was not seen in the palace. This short-hilted sword was the first weapon my brother used when he was young, and it is of great significance. May this sword be lucky enough to always accompany His Highness and protect His safety!"

"Of course, this is just a token. If my brother is lucky enough to marry His Highness, he will use all the power of the Yun clan to give His Highness the best life and protect His Highness's safety and joy for the rest of his life!"

He knelt on the ground, looking at Sheng Yang openly, his eyes full of expectations, through his eyes, Sheng Yang seemed to be able to see Yun Yang's burning eyes, she was rarely flustered.Unexpectedly, Yunyang would entrust Yunfei Hall to propose a marriage. Her previously entangled thoughts reached the peak at this moment, and she looked in Duan Yuzhi's direction helplessly, but saw that there was no one there.
