Chapter 262 He Can't Be a Prince Consort
"He, his character is not good, we can't let him be a son-in-law." After hesitating for a moment, Xiangxiang muttered softly.

Although Xiangxiang spoke in a low voice, who are the people in the arena?Naturally, she heard all her words, and the Queen of Sword was slightly taken aback, and then asked aloud: "How did you know that Cheng Cheng's character is not good? Also, what kind of bad character does he have? Can Xiang Xiang tell the truth? If he is really a person of bad character, he cannot be recruited into the palace to be a son-in-law. This matter must be taken seriously, you know?"

I wanted to say that Cheng Cheng was an assassin who sneaked into the palace, but now Xiang Xiang dare not say it. If he tells this matter, he will definitely die.After hesitating for a moment, he said in a low voice, "I, I heard what others said."

"Who did you hear that from?" The Sword Queen continued to ask.

"For those who don't know him, he said that Cheng Cheng already has a wife and cannot be a son-in-law." Xiangxiang was quick-witted and made up a lie. This reason would not cause Cheng Cheng to lose his life, but at most it would make him unable to be a son-in-law. , I was secretly proud of myself for this lie.

"You are such a fool. Can you believe what someone you don't know? Even if Cheng Cheng has a wife, it doesn't prevent him from being a son-in-law, right?" Nangong Lingtian is still very good to this daughter, otherwise he wouldn't Will let her rampage in the palace, just blame her.

"Xiangxiang, tell me the truth, do you fall in love with Chengcheng?" His Majesty Jian looked at Xiangxiang with ambiguous eyes, and asked with a teasing tone.When she saw Xiangxiang talking about Chengcheng, she hesitated and made a bold guess.

Hearing what Queen Jian said, Jian Feiyang and Nangong Lingtian looked at Xiangxiang one after another, and saw that her face blushed suddenly, her posture was shy, and she felt unnatural playing with the bow on her clothes. After a while, she replied: "Where is it?" have."

Seeing her like this, Queen Jian, Jian Feiyang and Nangong Lingtian looked at each other, and they all saw a hint of joy in each other's eyes. They were discussing who should take the position of Phoenix to betroth to the son-in-law. Isn't Xiangxiang the best? Good candidate?

"Xiangxiang, there is a chance for you to marry Cheng Cheng. Don't rush to refuse. If you don't want to, we have to find another princess. Think about it, would you like to marry Cheng Cheng?" After a moment of silence, Jian The queen asked excitedly, what a icing on the cake, isn't it a good choice to betroth Xiangxiang to the son-in-law?
Nangong Lingtian also felt that it would be a good thing to marry this daughter off earlier, so as not to let her rampage in the palace, and people would see that the royal family might not be well-educated. He also agreed to let Xiangxiang take the position of Phoenix, and agreed. : "Xiangxiang, Cheng Cheng is a good young man, and his future achievements will be limitless. If you can keep him for the father, the father will not lose you in the future."

"You guys, what are you talking about? Isn't the concubine wanting to take the phoenix? Why do you want me to betroth him?" Xiangxiang was really embarrassed, and buried her head even lower, a layer of pink rose on her snow-white neck, and she was caught The emperor and the empress asked such sensitive questions, no matter how big she was, she was not so unrestrained.Besides, she was obviously recruiting a son-in-law for Fenghuang, she was puzzled in her heart.

"Fenghuang doesn't want to marry Chengcheng, so we are going to find another princess to take her place. If Xiangxiang is not willing, don't force it. There are so many princesses who are pretty, so we can just find anyone." Sword Queen played Playing hard to get, can she not see through this girl Xiangxiang's thoughts?She was already settled in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't have asked this question.

"I, I, I didn't say I didn't want to." Xiangxiang became anxious all of a sudden, blushing and stomping her little feet twice, and then crouched down blushing, full of embarrassment.

Empress Jian, Nangong Lingtian, and Jian Feiyang looked at each other again, with uncontrollable smiles on their faces. It seemed that Xiangxiang was really interested in Cheng Cheng, and everyone was happy with this wife. Nangong Lingtian laughed heartily. Said: "Xiangxiang, you go back and prepare. In two days, the emperor will hold a wedding ceremony for you and marry the concubine. Don't go on the rampage like a wild girl again, lady, do you know?"

"Father, I'm ignoring you." Xiangxiang, who was so ashamed that she couldn't bear it, was full of embarrassment, stood up from the ground and stomped her little feet twice, blushing, turned around and ran out of the hall, causing three people in the hall to rush out of the hall. Laugh out loud.

"My son-in-law, you can't go out now." The two guards at the door saw Cheng Cheng coming out of the courtyard, crossed his halberd on his chest, and stopped him and said.

"I'm just going out for a walk." Frowning slightly, Cheng Cheng couldn't help explaining.

"I'm sorry, this is our duty, please don't embarrass us. In two days, you will be able to walk freely in the palace." The general who crossed the halberd said shyly.

"Why do you need another two days? Everyone else can go out, why can't I go out?" The face was full of puzzlement, isn't this the same as imprisoning yourself?
"We just obey the orders and follow the commander's arrangement. We don't know the reason." The guard shook his head. How can they get in touch with these things at this level?
Cheng Cheng was very puzzled, even other people could leave the yard, but he was chosen as a son-in-law to go out, vaguely intending to imprison himself.All of this seemed very strange, and after a while, he stepped back and said, "Okay, I'm not going out of the yard, can you inform me so that Princess Phoenix can come and see me?"

"It is the custom of our Wuli country that the groom is not allowed to see the bride before the marriage. If he wants to see the princess, the son-in-law should wait two days after paying homage." The guard still did not dare to compromise, and replied neither humble nor overbearing.

He didn't continue to argue, it was meaningless to argue with these guards, he turned around and walked back into the house.My mind is full of question marks, I am clearly imprisoned by the emperor, what is the purpose of imprisoning myself?Is it just to abide by some shit custom and not let yourself see the phoenix?But he couldn't even get out of the yard, he couldn't move an inch at all, everything was so weird.

Back in the house, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out, and he didn't dare to see Concubine Yun at night, because now he was watched very closely, once he found out that he was not in the house, there would be a loophole.

After resting for one night, the next day he heard the sound of beating gongs and drums resounding far away in the palace full of festivities, which woke him up.He blinked suspiciously, wondering if there was any festive event in the palace.

He always felt a little panicked in his heart, as if a stone was pressing on his heart. There were too many weirdnesses, which made him aware that there was some huge conspiracy quietly going on behind his back.He turned over and got up from the bed, put on his clothes and left the house.

When he reached the gate of the courtyard, two guards still stopped him, Cheng Cheng couldn't help being angry, and asked, "Is there any happy event in the palace?"

"I don't know." The guard shook his head.

"Can you help me find out?" He took out twenty gold coins from the interspatial ring and stuffed them into the guard's hand.

The guard hesitated for a while, and finally pushed all the gold coins back, and then said: "This is not within the scope of our duties, the son-in-law should not make things difficult for us."

Cheng Cheng had an intuition, as if he was about to lose something, and his heart was empty.If you don't find out about this matter, you will not be reconciled, and said coldly: "Then let me go out, and I will find out by myself."

"My son-in-law, it's not that we don't want to let go, but that the commander has ordered you not to leave this courtyard for half a step before tomorrow. We are also following orders, so why should you embarrass us?" To be the son-in-law is the master over their heads, so naturally don't offend them.And the commander issued a clear order that he must not be released from the yard these two days.

"I have to go out?" Cheng Cheng's face turned cold, and he wanted to force his way in.

"Then son-in-law, don't blame us for being rude." After speaking, the two guards crossed their halberds and stopped him in front of his chest. It was obvious that they would never let him go out.

Without any hesitation, Cheng Cheng made a move, grabbed the bodies of the two halberds with both hands, and threw the two guards out. Just as he rushed out of the yard, two teams of guards intercepted them from both sides. Come over, surround him three times inside and three times outside, and the heads of the halberds pointed at him one after another.

"My son-in-law, please don't embarrass us. Just stay in the house for a day. Tomorrow is the day of your wedding with the princess. It's best not to make any mistakes." The guard who was thrown to the ground got up and walked away. Go to Cheng Cheng and persuade him respectfully.

"Come on, I have to make a dash for it today, let's see who of you can stop me." Cheng Cheng knew very well in his heart that now that he is the son-in-law of Wu Liguo, these people should not dare to hurt him, so He's ready to go for a break.There are too many doubts in my heart, if I don't figure it out, I always feel empty in my chest.

"My son-in-law has offended you." The guard who seemed to be the leader of the army apologized to Cheng Cheng, and then said to the two teams: "Arrest him."

Afterwards, the two groups of people held up their long halberds and swarmed up to capture Cheng Cheng.Leaning forward, he drew a circle in the air, hugged the body of the eight long halberds that were being stabbed, and lifted them upwards, the eight guards who were holding the halberds fell out of their hands, and the long halberds were snatched by Cheng Cheng , Throwing a bundle of halberds into the air, and hitting one halberd with one palm, eight halberds flew out one by one, knocking all the guards rushing in front to the ground, and fell to the ground in piles.
