Hot Princess: The Prince Came to Hidden Marriage

Chapter 3
The news of King Shou's failure spread to the palace within an hour.It has been passed on from ten to ten, and the version has been turned over countless times.From King Shou killing a little singer to King Shou being inhumane, there are all kinds of sayings.

Early in the morning, King Shou came to court sick and listless, with a sharp tooth mark on his ear, and the courtiers all speculated that it was the daring one who dared to act wildly on King Shou.

When the news reached the palace, it was just in time for the dispersal of the court, and the courageous courtiers looked at King Shou with rather dark eyes.

The bright gnawing marks on King Shou's ears are hard to ignore.Usually his complexion is not very good, but today it looks even paler, revealing a feeling of powerlessness.

"It seems that the rumor is true."

"According to the age of King Shou, he is twenty-seven. Not to mention the side concubine, there is not even a girl who is warming the house, this..."

"It's good that we know it well."

"Hey, yes, yes, man."

As soon as he left the palace, the few courtiers who had broken mouths began to discuss quietly.

Zhou Chen walked out slowly, and before he lifted his foot a few steps, he was stopped by the prince who served in front of the imperial court.

"His Royal Highness Shouwang, the emperor invites you to go to the imperial study." The prince smiled humbly and cautiously.

Zhou Chen glanced at him, and Wang Gonggong hurriedly said: "The emperor is in a good mood today, Your Highness can relax."

This chief eunuch of the imperial eunuch has a well-rounded heart, and he is best at reading people's hearts, knowing what the other party wants to express with just one look.

There was still a distance away from the imperial study room, and the prince followed behind Zhou Chen with his waist bent. Zhou Chen walked slowly, and he didn't dare to hurry.

"Yesterday, the empress invited Mrs. Zhao to a banquet in Qingning Palace, and it seems that a marriage contract is to be fulfilled with words." The prince whispered softly and vaguely, but he knew that King Shou could understand.

Sometimes, in this palace, words cannot be spoken too clearly.

Zhou Chen's steps paused slightly, and he nodded slightly, as if he had heard it.

……

Emperor Xuanwu of the Great Zhou Dynasty sat on the throne to review the papers. His temples were already gray, but the majesty of the real dragon emperor was gone.

"Xiao Wu, sit down for a while." Emperor Xuanwu didn't raise his head when he heard the movement, but just waved his hands casually.

The prince immediately winked at the little eunuchs who were serving below, and after a while the table was filled with the refreshment fruits that King Shou loved to eat.

Zhou Chen sat there, staring at Emperor Xuanwu, expressionless.

He remembered that when he was very young, his father was hunting in the paddock in a heroic manner, and no one was his opponent.

After all, he was old, and a serious illness made him look no longer energetic.

The time for a cup of tea passed, Emperor Xuanwu dropped the imperial pen and cinnabar, and the prince immediately handed over a hot handkerchief, followed by tea at a suitable temperature.

"Xiao Wu doesn't look very well, did you call the imperial doctor to come to the mansion for treatment recently?" Emperor Xuanwu glanced over, frowning slightly, as if he was not satisfied with King Shou's physical condition.

"My son's body has always been like this, father, you don't have to worry about it." Zhou Chen sat there lazily, not necessarily showing much respect to Emperor Xuanwu, but a little more casual intimacy of ordinary father and son.

Emperor Xuanwu didn't know what he thought of, his face darkened slightly, but he didn't say anything more.

Wang Gonggong looked at his words and said immediately: "Your Majesty, this old slave just passed by the imperial garden and saw that the flowers were blooming just right. It must have been a rain yesterday, which made the flowers in the garden bright."

"Oh, is it?" Emperor Xuanwu got up and waved his hands, and said gently: "So, Xiao Wu, you go out with me for a walk."

Wang Gonggong followed behind, and his little apprentice asked in a low voice: "I have been serving the emperor for more than a month, and I only see that the emperor has a three-point kindness for His Royal Highness Shou Wang."

"You are a slave who can say these things." Wang Gonggong gave the young apprentice a stern look, and then he couldn't help lowering his voice and said, "Remember, as long as His Royal Highness Shou Wang's affairs, just pay more attention to it. .”

……

Emperor Xuanwu wandered around with Zhou Chen, not talking much.

When I arrived at Taoranting, I saw the queen drinking tea with a beautiful woman from a distance.Take a closer look, isn't she the prostitute of the Gu family, Gu Changhua?

She entered the palace today obviously well-dressed, the butterfly shadows fluttering on the pink Ru skirt, lifelike.The translucent half arm is loosely held, and the delicate skin can be vaguely seen.

Gu Changhua tilted his head slightly, exuding an infinitely virtuous demeanor, and was talking to the queen with a chuckle.

"The daughter of the Gu family has a pretty face." Emperor Xuanwu didn't go any further, and said casually: "It seems that she is quite suitable for you, and she is just right to be your concubine."

"I have no intention of getting married." Zhou Chen laughed at himself, and said without hesitation: "Besides, how could the daughter of the Gu family marry a useless person?"

This world belongs to the father, even if he doesn't say these insignificant things, the father will be clear about it.Seeing Gu Changhua in the Royal Garden today is by no means a coincidence.

Emperor Xuanwu said without anger and prestige: "You are my son, you are not allowed to belittle yourself so much. What's more, the daughter of the Gu family had an engagement with you early in the morning, and it is a matter of course for you to get married. As for the rumors outside, don't you If you love to listen, let those people shut up."

But a few words, every sentence followed Zhou Chen's meaning, and Emperor Xuanwu's love for this son was evident.

Daughter of the Gu family, these four words are worth playing with.

Zhou Chen seemed to say casually: "I remember, the Gu family has more than one prostitute."

Gu Changhua was born by Gu Xiangxuan. Prior to this, Qing and Cui's daughters also gave birth to a daughter for him. Even if Cui Qing died of illness, that person's identity would not be easily obliterated.

"That child?" Emperor Xuanwu frowned, "Didn't it mean that he was weak since childhood and was sent to the mountain to recuperate. Wang Fu?"

Wang Gonggong immediately stepped forward and replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this daughter of the Gu family was the name you gave me back then, with the double character Changsheng. It has been twenty-nine years now. I heard that the Gu family has died a few days ago." Send someone to take Miss Gu back to the mansion."

Gu Changsheng, Emperor Xuanwu naturally remembered.At the beginning, he personally named it, Cui Qing's daughter.If it wasn't for that serious illness that followed Daoist Wuyuan up the mountain, the child would be the most honorable daughter in Chang'an City.

Emperor Xuanwu still remembered what Cui Qing said before he died, and now that the old matter was brought up again, he was silent for a long time.

He is old and has to think about his funeral.Emperor Xuanwu looked at the empress and Gu Changhua who were laughing at Yanyan not far away, and said calmly: "Changsheng, please come and enjoy the flowers in a while."

"Yes, I will pass it on, slave." The prince immediately agreed.

Thinking of that bright peach blossom, Zhou Chen smiled.

Is it Gu Changsheng?We have a long way to go.
