Chapter 629 Choosing a concubine for the prince
Originally, I had agreed with Li Er a long time ago, and returned to the northwest after attending the centenary banquet of King Rong's son.Su Ran did indeed intend to do so.

However, just as the mother and daughter were packing their bags, the emperor suddenly issued an order to let the mother and daughter enter the palace together.

At that time, Su Ran was still living in Rongwang's mansion, so the emperor asked Princess Rong to take Nian and Sigeer with him.

Two years after he ascended the throne, the young emperor is still in full swing.The queen looked haggard, probably because of King Gui!
Su Ran and Princess Rong took their children into the Qianqing Palace, and everyone bowed to the emperor one by one.The emperor cheerfully called all the children to him, especially took a closer look at sisters Xiao and Zhu, and rewarded them with many greeting gifts.At the end, he hugged Si Ge'er to tease him. When he noticed the little pouch hanging around Si Ge'er's neck, his eyes flashed, and a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Come here, take Xining County Lord and the others to play in the Royal Garden!" He ordered the people below, "There are too many children and they will make noise. I still want to ask Princess Zhenxi about things in the northwest."

The maids and eunuchs responded quickly, and came forward to lure sisters Xiao, Zhu and Nian out.Si Ge'er was still young, Princess Rong Hou was holding him, still sitting beside Su Ran.

After the idlers left, the emperor immediately asked Su Ran about the situation at the border.He paid special attention to the recent developments of the big cannibal, and Su Ran told him honestly.She also briefly talked about Li Er's plan: "The prince said that he has never believed in the big cannibal. It is also expected that the big cannibal will start to be dishonest. Now he is ready, just wait The big cannibal comes from throwing a net."

"Okay!" The emperor clapped his hands happily, "King Zhenxi really deserves to be the God of War in the Northwest. With him stationed there for me, I can't rest assured!"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help ordering someone to prepare a generous reward for Su Ran to take him back to the northwest.

Su Ran quickly saluted and thanked her.

The scene in front of me became more and more harmonious, and the queen also said something to make fun of it from time to time, it was really enjoyable.

However, not long after, someone from outside came to report: "Report to the emperor, and the empress, the crown prince is here."

"Xuan!" The emperor immediately nodded.

Not long after, I saw a boy of eleven or twelve years old strolling in.

Although he was two years younger than Brother Zhuang, he was tall and straight with an extraordinary bearing.Wearing the prince's regular uniform embroidered with golden dragons, his long hair was neatly combed on his head and fixed with a purple-gold crown.The emperor and empress were all born with good looks, and the prince was naturally handsome as well.In addition, he has been carefully cultivated since he was a child, and now he is tidy and clean. When he walked in the door, Su Ran felt as if there was a bright halo covering his body.As he walked, the circle of light also moved, clearly illuminating his extraordinary expression.

This boy is so nice.Su Ran felt sincerely in her heart, and she couldn't help but think of Prince Jianye who was deeply hidden in her memory.Back then, that was how she saw Prince Jianye.It's a pity that his life was too short and he passed away early.

The prince entered the inner hall and immediately saluted the emperor and queen.

He was personally raised by the queen since he was a child, and the etiquette was followed by him very smoothly, like flowing water, well-behaved and good-looking.Su Ran was almost dumbfounded.

The emperor and empress were also very satisfied with the prince's performance.

"Excuse me!" The emperor raised his hand and pointed at Su Ran below, "Princess Rong, you have known him for a long time, but this Princess Zhenxi, I'm afraid you have no impression. Both she and King Zhenxi guarantee the Northwest Border Pass Stable hero, you go and meet her!"

"Yes." The prince accepted the order gladly, and came to greet Su Ran.

Su Ran hurriedly got up and bowed first: "The concubine has seen His Royal Highness the Prince."

The prince only received half a salute sideways, and then he gracefully returned the salute to Su Ran.Looking up again, his eyes were also shining, full of admiration and curiosity.

"Over the years, I have been listening to my father's praise of King Zhenxi's bravery and good fighting skills, and Princess Zhenxi's good skills. King Zhenxi led people to guard the border, and you also mobilized the women at the border to grow vegetables and raise rabbits, so that the soldiers at the border will be killed. The food has improved a lot. These are all great credits, but you have done it quietly! Every time I hear my father talk about the progress of the border, I am inexplicably excited, and I have long wanted to see you and your husband. It’s just that the king of Zhenxi has an important business to do, so he can’t leave without permission. Last time when he returned to Beijing, Gu didn’t have time to see him. But now that he can see Princess Zhenxi, Gu is also very satisfied! You are more than Gu imagined The one in the middle is even better, so King Zhenxi must be better than Gu Xiang!"

This kid has such a sweet mouth.And he knew that what he said was flattering, but when he said it, it sounded so sincere that people couldn't help but think it was true.

Su Ran's heart was made sweet by him.

He looks good, can talk, and can handle affairs. The emperor and empress really raised this prince very well!

After being stared at by him for a while, Su Ran's face turned a little red.She quickly lowered her head. "His Royal Highness praised you, these are what we should do."

The prince shook his head, praised her a few more words, and then sat down beside her.

The emperor saw that she was talking happily with the prince, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

"I don't know how Princess Zhenxi thinks of this prince?" He suddenly asked.

Of course, Su Ran couldn't boast. "His Royal Highness the crown prince has a dragon and a phoenix appearance, and he is outstanding. The concubines don't even know what words to use to praise him."

"Princess Zhenxi, you really praised him too much, how can he be so good?" The emperor shook his head cheerfully, "I know that you and the eldest son of King Zhenxi are 14 years old this year, but they are already able to lead troops to fight alone. Compared with him, the prince is still far behind!"

The queen also interjected at this time. "Although I haven't seen that child for many years, I remember that when the remnants of the Southern Dynasty rebelled, he was only ten years old. At that time, he was able to lead the guards on the Zhenxi Palace to guard the palace. Now that I think about it, it has been four years It's been five years, and he will definitely become more upright and heroic. Today, I have already seen some clues in the two little county heads."

As soon as her words fell, Su Ran saw the emperor's eyes flicker.

Her heart skipped a beat for no reason!
not good!She cried out inwardly.

But in the palace, she couldn't do anything except complain in her heart.

The emperor smiled and nodded, and then the queen continued: "Indeed, the two young county masters are very good, and they both have the sassy style of King Zhenxi. Especially the county master of Xining, she is ten years old now." ?”

"Yes, it's already ten years old." Su Ran bit the bullet and nodded.

"That's just right!" The emperor clapped his hands immediately, "The county magistrate of Xining is ten years old, and my prince is 12 years old. The two children are about the same age. I think they are a good match. I don't know what you want, Princess Zhenxi? "

Sure enough, the emperor summoned her into the palace today to deliberately set up a trap for her!

It's just that Su Ran has calculated everything, and she didn't expect that the emperor is actually eyeing her sister Xiao!

She got up quickly. "Thanks to the emperor's great love, it's just that sister Xiao grew up in the countryside and has a mischievous and arrogant temper. Neither the concubine nor the prince expected her to marry into a noble family. I'm afraid she can't afford the status of a princess. Please, my majesty, It is better to choose a lady from a famous family in the capital."

"It's right for a girl to be arrogant. I think she's very good and suitable for the prince." No matter how she refused, the emperor just said this.After finishing speaking, he asked the queen and the prince, "What do you think?"

He has already spoken, how can the queen and prince still refute?
The queen nodded meekly. "I also think Xining County Mistress is very nice. She is lively and cute, with a vigor that is hard to find among ladies in the capital."

The prince also pretended to think about it seriously. "Father, the Xining County Lord you mentioned is the girl who just led two little girls to play in the Royal Garden? I met her when I was temporarily staying at the Zhenxi Prince's Mansion. She is indeed lively and cute. Now that she has grown up more attractive.”

The implication is that he has always had a good impression of Xiao'er, and he is willing to marry Xiao'er as the princess.

However, she is not willing to be a mother!Presumably Li Er knew, and he would definitely not be willing.

They never thought of marrying their children to the royal family, let alone this handsome prince.

Su Ran was in a hurry.She racked her brains to refuse this marriage, but the emperor, empress and even the crown prince had already spoken to this point, what else could she do?
Just thinking about it, suddenly there was a baby crying.Princess Rong Hou suddenly stood up with the child in her arms. "The child is crying! Princess Zhenxi, come and help me see!"

Su Ran was overjoyed, she was about to get up, but when she didn't want the queen, she whispered: "Call Wang Momo here."

Immediately, an old nun with a wrinkled face came in.She took the swaddling baby from Princess Rong, and she didn't know how to fix it, and the crying baby just now calmed down.

The emperor looked at Su Ran again: "Princess Zhenxi, let's continue talking about what happened just now!"

They are sure to settle the matter now!
Su Ran clenched his fist.

But as soon as the emperor finished speaking, an eunuch from outside rushed in again: "Report to the emperor, in the imperial garden...Xining County Lord and the others, they... fought with the young masters and ladies of the Zhang family!"
