Madam, look at the sword!

Chapter 69
There is a truth that has remained unchanged since ancient times.

——The one who takes advantage of others is soft-handed and the one who eats others is short-tongued.

The two kilograms of scrambled eggs that the third son, Zhao Chengfeng, ate came from the Wu family.

Wu is the mother of the twelve dead women named Wu Xiaolan.

So naturally, he has to do things for others.

Although they are strangers to each other, even though they have never met.

Although it concerns the three major sects and the third prince of Dahuang.

But Zhao Chengfeng, who had become short-tongued after eating two kilograms of eggs, just wanted to do something about it. He just wanted to kill all these people.

Of course, this is not an easy task. Let’s not mention the third prince of Dahuang who left Kyoto. We only talk about the intertwined forces of the three major sects in Kyoto. They can easily use the ability of a strong man from the four realms. In fact, no one has done this for many years. Did it.

What's more, everyone in the sect has a life bead in their body.

The Life Pearl is very difficult to control. It not only has the ability to intimidate foreign enemies, but also has the purpose of supervising disciples. It is a blade both inside and outside.

It is not difficult to kill the disciples of the sect who have the Life Pearl, as long as they are strong enough, but when it comes to matters, they need to meet some specific conditions to leave without leaving a leaf on their body.

Therefore, Zhao Chengfeng, who could not directly confront the three major sects, had to wait for an opportunity to fulfill these specific conditions.

After waiting, five days passed.

During the five days, Zhao Chengfeng was not idle. He had a pair of small silver hollow balls in his hand, which were used to practice the fineness of controlling the release of true energy, and at the same time to recover the energy spent between four breaths, and his coughs gradually decreased.

Apart from that, he began to practice at the normal pace he had before in Beiting.

Then the maid Bai Zhi suddenly discovered that the Third Prince had actually begun to work very hard on his spiritual path.

Little did she know that when Zhao Chengfengyun was aboard the ship, he was just relaxing for fun. After arriving in the imperial capital, he was troubled by various things. Now he was just showing the normal state of daily practice.

Of course, the Third Prince strongly advocates the combination of work and rest.

No matter how hard I practice during the day, I never miss going to the flower boat to watch the waiters dancing at night.

Bai Zhi, who followed her every day, wrote down her doubts in a booklet after two days and handed it to Zhao Chengfeng to read [Aren't you tired? 】

Zhao Chengfeng shook his head like a rattle and said to her: "Watching young ladies dance is the most relaxing thing for men in the world."

So that night, Zhao Chengfeng took Bai Zhi into the flower boat and let her watch an extravagant ice and fire dance that used talismans to create strange effects.

Bai Zhi understood. In fact, not only men but also women would feel relaxed after watching it, because it was really eye-catching and beautiful. The special visual effects of today's show were a bit shocking to her.

Zhao Chengfeng didn't say anything until then. He took her pen and paper and wrote: "Study more. If I want to read it one night, you can show it to me in the house." 】

Bai Zhi blushed and didn't reply, but when she returned to her room that night, she couldn't help but make two gestures with her body, just two.

Of course, the two would occasionally chat about other details of the mirror town.

It's just that most of the previous content is repeated, and Zhong Gu, who went to the palace for several days in a row, didn't seem to gain anything.

Whether Concubine Chen has anything to do with the Mirror Town or not? She just stuffed a piece of paper into Zhao Chengfeng two days ago. What happened to the ambitious Majesty three years later is still a mystery.

We need to be careful, we need to peel off the cocoon.

And this is not the only thing that happened in these five days.

As early as the day after Tuo Feng, the third prince of Dahuang, left Kyoto quietly, the news that the third prince and the young princess were about to get married had already spread.

Then there was news that Fang Zhibai, the senior brother of Lixian Sect, had returned to Kyoto. He went to see the little princess for her dementia, and it seemed that she was expected to recover.

As soon as this news came out, the whole capital was in an uproar.

Because in fact, the little princess is the owner of the most blessing plaques at the Wannian Temple in Kyoto, the jewel in the eyes of thousands of merchants on Yunluo Ancient Road, the light in the eyes of countless ordinary women in Twelve Squares, and the dream lover of teenagers in Kyoto.
Otherwise, on the day when the third prince of Dahuang promised to get married, the entire city of Kyoto would not have turned off the lights to express protest to the imperial city.

There are two main things that Zhao Chengfeng knows about the reason for this.

The first thing is that ten years ago, there was a severe flood in Zhongjiang. Countless displaced people gathered in the imperial capital. Corpses could be seen everywhere outside the city. However, His Majesty was conducting a military expedition at the border, and food prices were as high as gold.

However, there was no owner in the government, and corrupt officials exploited people at all levels. When they arrived at the porridge factory, the clear soup was so watery that you could barely taste a few grains of rice when you poured a bowl of porridge into your mouth.

The struggle for power within the court caused multiple obstacles, and King Xian was pushed out by the princes, leading to a cleanup of moral integrity.
But the first punch of this heavy punch was not thrown by him, but by his daughter who had just turned six years old.

It is hard to imagine that a little girl with bright eyes and white teeth and an innocent look on her face appeared in a smelly disaster relief porridge shop. After taking a sip of porridge, she punched the boss's old teeth and broke them. The scene where he shouted: "Drag him out and chop him off."

But it did happen. After that, the little girl wandered on the front lines of disaster relief. Countless victims had seen the figure of the youngest princess in the imperial city.

People who are lucky enough to be alive today recall that the most beautiful scene at that time was the little princess stepping on the high box, making a trumpet shape with her hands, and shouting in a crisp and bright voice: "Everyone has a share!" Cute look.

When she was a young girl, an inconspicuous case came into public view.

This case seemed very ordinary at first. The son of the Minister of Household Affairs married a beautiful and innocent husband as his concubine. The beautiful and innocent husband later poisoned his wife out of jealousy. The evidence was conclusive, but the scare was about to fall. The little princess However, he appeared during the trial and raised many doubts.

When the royal family entered the court, the officials wanted to show some respect, but as soon as the case arrived at Dali Temple, a shocking turn took place.

Many clues showed that most of the previous evidence was forged, and the truth was revealed. It turned out that the father-in-law and his daughter-in-law had been in a relationship for many years, and the son committed the murder. He not only wanted to kill his wife, but also his own father, but he was discovered and stopped in time. Damn it, and poured all the dirty water on the beautiful young man who has been in the business for less than a year. What a deep love between father and son.
After public outrage broke out, His Majesty decreed that the minister of household affairs should be executed for violating human ethics, and his son was executed for being the culprit.

Qing Guer was finally redressed and was freed. However, when he walked out of the Criminal Department, he had been tortured into a shapeless shape. However, he managed to save his life.

As for why she allowed the little princess to appear at the trial, it was rumored that her mother was an old servant in Prince Jing's Mansion, and the little princess was kind-hearted and extended a helping hand.

A relative of the emperor who can reverse the case of his servant will naturally be loved by the people.

What's more, she is still the little girl who once stood in the disaster relief porridge shop and shouted that everyone should have a share, with light in her eyes.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the little princess is the most famous woman in Kyoto.

So, the news that the disease seems to be getting better has just come out.

Countless people who just loved her began to pray, praying that Zhao Chengfeng would go crazy and let the little princess go. Even though the third prince had indeed gained momentum for Zhou Tian a few days ago, his previous reputation was too bad after all.

To put it another way, the marriage between Prince Dangbei and Prince Jing is about the marriage of the most notorious and notorious young man among this generation of young people to the girl with the best reputation and the love of the people.

Regardless of good or bad, in terms of reputation alone, among the young people of this generation, no one can compare with these two people. Their marriage will naturally trigger an upsurge of discussion among the people.

And most importantly
It's a bit of a coincidence.

Why is it that just after the third prince of Dahuang left, Zhou Tian’s No. [-] Master of Reading from Lixian Sect came back, and the little princess’s illness was about to be cured?
Could it be that the third prince and the little princess are in love?

They say good women love bad men.
So overnight, in the bookstalls of major markets, the storytellers of major teahouses, and the creators of countless cultural and entertainment works, they immediately replayed the love story of the third prince and the little princess from various angles.So much so that the eyes of everyone in Kyoto and Zhoutian were all focused on this marriage that seemed to have no chance of running away.

In fact, he didn't run away.

The news that the little princess would be happy was just a foreshadowing. A few days later, the news of the marriage was confirmed.

It is even said that on the day when the third prince and the young princess get married, His Majesty will pay homage to him as an elder. This is an honor that many juniors among the three generations of the royal family have not had when they get married.

Of course, it's still early to tell. Although the etiquette of getting married on Sunday has been streamlined by the Ministry of Rites, there are still some complicated wedding procedures.

For example, the three books and six etiquettes before getting married are indispensable.

These extremely troublesome trivial matters completely interrupted Zhao Chengfeng's habitual life.

During the inevitable tug-of-war with Prince Jing's Mansion, he suddenly came up with a brilliant idea.

So, one night, he invited King Xian out and said with sincerity:

"Didn't Your Majesty ask you to take care of me in Kyoto?"

Xian Wang "Huh?"

"I'm in big trouble now."

King Xian frowned: "What trouble?"

"The woman's family who wants to get married has too many things to do."

King Xian: "???"

"Why don't you come and be my guest?"

King Xian: "Huh?"

Da Zhibin is the person in charge of Zhou Tian's wedding. He must know all kinds of etiquette, folk customs, have a wide network of contacts, and naturally must be an elder.

Anyway, Zhao Chengfeng went straight up the slope: "Then it's settled! Anyway, the etiquette behind, whatever you say, I will do it~!"

After saying that, he ran away
As a result, in this high-profile wedding on Sunday, the father-in-law became the groom's best guest.
The good thing is that the father-in-law knows everything the woman wants. Sometimes the father-in-law even dislikes his old housekeeper, the woman’s confidant, who does too much and tells him to shut up. In addition, the man’s family is not short of silver, gold, and souls. Jing, give whatever you want. Naturally, there will be no disputes between the two parties about various etiquettes, because the one person who speaks the word - King Xian.
The bad thing is that when King Xian delivered the betrothal gift to his home, he became a little confused and felt as if he was playing house with his left hand.
Anyway, the main thing is a one-word hall, and King Xian has never made such a calculation in his life.
Of course these are just cutscenes.

After the letter of appointment and the letter of gift, Zhao Chengfeng finally received the most important letter of welcome under the leadership of his dignitaries.

At the same time, after various struggles with his father-in-law, including accepting, asking for names, accepting, accepting, and asking for a date, King Xian finally finalized the wedding date on behalf of both parties - April 64, Qiyuan [-]. .

It is said to be the best day to get married this year.

And when the day was determined, the news naturally spread throughout Kyoto.

When Cui Zhi heard the news, he was squatting in front of his house eating braised noodles.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the room is getting stuffier and stuffier. Sitting on the threshold of the broken courtyard, watching the people coming and going in the wind, seems to have become his habit these days.

The origin of this habit seems to have been developed while eating noodles with the Third Prince a few days ago.

It's just that they haven't seen each other since the North City Gate. Just as Cui Zhi had expected before, because the class gap is too big and each has his own life, once there is nothing to intersect, it is actually difficult to be friends, and they will only become more and more distant. the further away, but
But he was really grateful from the bottom of his heart that the Third Prince led him to ask the questions he had been holding back in his heart, which also gave him an explanation.

So after hearing the news, he rummaged through the box and found a jade pendant that his mother had put into his pocket when he came out of his hometown.

Then he went to a pawn shop.

I don’t know if the price is fair, but I guess it should be enough, so I went to the Yunluo Ancient Trail again.

After shopping here all afternoon, he looked left and right and fell in love with a big red coral. It looked festive and the price was right. There was not a penny left, so he bought it and took it to the Prince's Mansion.

There was a lot of traffic in front of the Crown Prince's residence today, and there was an endless stream of people coming to give gifts. Car after car, and boxes after boxes of all kinds of valuable items, the spacious front door was blocked.

But nothing can go in.

They were all stopped by the mute maid at the door.

No matter what the person who came to give the gift said, how he introduced himself, or how prominent his family background was, Bai Zhi would just nod politely, shake his head in polite refusal, and occasionally flash the words written on the brochure:
The prince asked: Who are you? '

Very hurtful.

Choi Zhi, who was holding a red coral, was particularly out of place when he arrived.
It also attracted the attention of the whole audience.

Even before people had time to laugh at this stupid boy, he still wanted to climb up to the heights of the Third Prince, and the gifts he brought looked so cheap, and he was not afraid of being laughed at.
They saw that the poor little maid had collected the red coral.
After Cui Zhi gave the gift, he felt that the Prince's Mansion must be very busy now, so he naturally turned around and left.

Although he noticed that the people around him looked at him strangely, it didn't matter. He was thinking about whether he should do something to make money and redeem the family heirloom jade pendant.
And that night, a strange thing happened in Kyoto City.

The red coral ornaments were all sold out. If anyone had them at home, regardless of whether they were new or not, as long as you were willing to sell them, the price would be ten times higher.

It was also on this night that the only red coral that entered the prince's mansion came into the hands of the third prince.

The breeze blew into the central hall and slightly rolled up a turtle leaf. Zhao Chengfeng's hair was gently lifted, but he did not react at all.

At this time, he was looking at the red coral. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the thing Cui Zhi sent must be cheap. The quality was defective. The red color was irregular and some were dark, like the color of blood that had been on the ground for a short period of time. .

Then, he heard footsteps.

The book boy Aotian came in and sat upright, straightening his chest.

Liu Meiniang followed closely behind, dressed in red. After sitting down, she crossed her legs and showed a charming smile.

When Aunt Zhong and Uncle Sun came, one took out the embroidery and started to embroider, and the other secretly stuffed a piece of cake into his mouth.

Of course, the third prince Zhao Chengfeng raised his head, rubbed the red coral which was made of really bad material with his hand, and said:

"Let's formally talk to everyone."

The four of them looked at him together, naturally they already knew what was going on.

Zhao Chengfeng continued:

"Isn't the wedding date between the young princess and I set?"

"I think it will be the day of the wedding."

"See some blood for good luck."
