The best princess

Chapter 31 The Prince's Congratulatory Gift ([-])
The next thing is very simple. Facing the hesitant civil and military officials and the emperor and queen, Fu Youran slowly said: "When my son left the palace, he passed a village. The longest-lived old man in the village celebrated his birthday. With the power of the village, a handful of rice was gathered. When the old man ate the porridge, he burst into tears. The minister thought that this porridge must be the best congratulatory gift in the world. Otherwise, how could the old man be so moved, so he presented the porridge to his father today. , to express my heart."

In fact, this story is not fabricated, but it is not Fu Youran's personal experience. It is something that Brother Gu heard on the way out for a meeting a few years ago. After digging it out, when he came back and told everyone, Li Peishan sighed, and immediately wrote a letter to the township government of that village, with a small donation of five taels of silver from his private house, and signed it as "a good man who does not want to be famous", After that, Li Peishan was very concerned about the follow-up progress of this matter. Every time, he went to Luoye Township, a hundred miles away, to see if there were any public notices or letters of commendation, but he was not disappointed. There were many notices, but they were all Li Peishan was greatly disappointed by the false advertisements that welcomed the bumper harvest and plentiful fruits. He often threatened to come to the capital to play directly in the sky. Later, probably the pain caused by the five taels of silver had passed, and he didn’t come back anymore. I mentioned it, but Fu Youran, who was still young at the time, remembered this incident firmly in her heart, and it has become a life-saving straw to this day.

For a long time after Fu Youran finished saying these words, there was no sound in Zichen Hall, and finally Emperor Zhaotai sighed, "Thinking that I am rich and prosperous in the world, there are still these people who can't even eat rice. Li, it's really hard work."

After Emperor Zhaotai finished speaking, there was applause in the hall, and the ministers who were usually at odds with the queen and prince were silent. The queen finally let go of her heart, and secretly applauded Fu Youran's creativity. Fu Youran, who won a lot of applause, Leisurely returned to his seat, winked at Mo Weitian triumphantly, Mo Weitian was a false alarm, sweating from fright, gritted his teeth and said: "Vulgar plot!"

Fu Youran shook her head with a grin, "You don't have to worry about old tricks, as long as they work well."

That night, in the East Palace, a man and a woman faced each other across the board. The man was impeccably handsome, while the woman had an elegant demeanor. If the two were tasting wine and discussing poetry at this time, it would be a beautiful thing, but let's listen first. A conversation between the two.

"You didn't leave the palace?"

"nonsense."

"You... have been here for an hour."

The woman didn't raise her eyebrows, her face was frosty, "It's nonsense again."

The man laughed dryly, "I guess you didn't come to praise my performance at the birthday banquet."

"Very smart!" The woman slapped the table, her willow eyebrows stood upright, "What does the word 'blurred' mean?"

The man said embarrassingly: "I performed pretty well today."

"Fu Youran!"

"Okay," Fu Youran rubbed her nose, stood up and took out a beautifully packaged scroll from the top of the bookshelf, and threw it on the desk.

Qi Yibei immediately opened it to check, and when the scroll was fully unfolded, his expression was already quite ugly.

"Why is there a black frame on it?"

Fu Youran hastily told about the mistake she found in the words, and said: "I really wanted to correct it for you, but in the end I was probably too nervous, and the writing was wrong, and then it got worse and worse. In the end, I simply scribbled that word blacken."

Qi Yibei clenched his fists tightly, "It's just one word, why did it end up like this?"

"It's too obvious to paint only one, and it's not good-looking. I wanted to make it symmetrical, so I painted all the characters 'Shou' on the four corners. Later, I saw that it was still wrong, so I...helped to the end. , all the words on the four sides have been painted over, although there is an extra frame, but it looks quite neat."

Qi Yibei was trembling with anger, "You idiot! Only dead people's things are framed with black frames!"

"Of course I know!" Fu Youran argued unconvinced, "Look, I added lace to the side, does it look like the frame that came with the lettering?"

"Like a big head like you!"

"The big head I'm pushing now belongs to you!" Fu Youran curled her lips, "I'm just kind, even though I messed up, I'll try my best to make it up."

The volcano in Qi Yibei's heart has been holding back ever since he knew the actions of "His Royal Highness" today. He tried his best to calm down his emotions, hoping not to hit someone by mistake, "The last word 'shou' on the hundred-shou picture, If it is not ticked, it means that the number of life is boundless and the longevity of happiness is extended.”

Fu Youran blinked in astonishment, scratched her neck again, and said with a sneer, "Ha... yes, yes?"

Qi Yibei re-rolled the scroll with a livid face, and sat back on the chair angrily, Fu Youran said uncomfortably: "You...you didn't see how good the birthday gift from King Huai and the others today is, if you use this, I'm afraid It was compared early in the morning."

Qi Yibei didn't speak, his eyes were staring at... no, he was staring at Fu Youran, his father was full of praise for his calligraphy, he knew it all along, the original plan was to write on the spot at the birthday banquet , that's naturally much more pleasing than sending a calligraphy and painting dryly, but I didn't expect that the variables that appeared in these days almost ruined the birthday party, but fortunately, this girl is still a little quick-witted, that kind of old-fashioned tricks, probably It is only effective for a wise emperor like the father, if it is someone else, I am afraid that he will not be punished for the crime of teasing the emperor.

But this time, it was a mistake. King Huai must have known his original plan, so he spared no expense to buy the original work of Wang Zhi, hoping to win the crown prince's prize. He was actually defeated by a bowl of rice porridge. In the years of fighting with Huai, this was considered a small victory. Thinking of this, Qi Yibei's face gradually calmed down, but he still complained: "No matter what, you will You have to inform me in advance, you make me very passive like this."

Fu Youran scratched her head, "I looked for you, but you..."

"Okay," Qi Yibei had already heard the evaluation of "sex lust" from Mo Weitian, and hurriedly stopped him, "This time it is a narrow pass, next time if there is a problem, you must consult with me."

"Hmm." Fu Youran was still scratching her head.

"Have you scratched enough?" Qi Yibei became angry again, "I haven't washed it for a few days? It's still so dirty when I go back to the palace!"

Fu Youran broke out in an instant, "I want to wash it too! Every time I have this intention, your two beauties will come to accompany me stripped naked. I said no, but they still come. How on earth do you discipline the concubine's room? A concubine is so arrogant, she will marry a wife in the future, and she won't be pulling on your head...Hmph!"

Fu Youran swallowed back that extremely indecent word in time, and Qi Yibei understood it, and said with a wry smile: "It's mainly Fei'er, right? She is indeed more enthusiastic."

"It's a little bit bigger. I think you will have no peace in the future. Your wives will definitely fight. Why can't you learn from King Huai?"

Qi Yibei frowned, "Although King Huai didn't renew his marriage, he still has a few concubines, compared to me there are only two, so he should learn from me, right?"

Fu Youran immediately moved to Qi Yibei's side, "Prince Huai's concubines? How many? Where are they from? How old are they? How many years have you been married?"

Qi Yibei said inexplicably: "How would I know? Why are you acting like this?"

"Hehe, just to learn about it casually."

Qi Yibei frowned slightly, "Don't have illusions about King Huai, he is not suitable for you."

"Who fantasized?" Fu Youran really wanted to blush to show her girlish feelings are always poetry, but unfortunately, with a man's body, her skin seems to be thicker, so she was anxious, "Don't change the subject, King Huai What's wrong with having a concubine? Every man has a concubine, so why doesn't he go on and on about a scandal and a new love like you? Don't say that you want to keep the royal family's appearance rate." Saying that, Fu Youran With a look of longing, "It's good to leave that job to King Huai. Every time King Huai appears, he always brings praise and legend."

"Don't use my face to make such a disgusting expression!" Qi Yibei got up a little irritatedly, "I don't need to explain anything to you, just remember, without my permission in the future, don't come up with random ideas!"

Fu Youran rolled her eyes and didn't respond, Qi Yibei took two steps, and said worriedly: "Concubine Ce's day is the sixth day of next month, if there is no progress in the two of us at that time, you will marry the concubine for me. Come back, just in case, you'd better memorize the rules."

Fu Youran stroked her chin, smacked her lips and said, "When you marry a wife, you have to have a bridal chamber. I'm really nervous for the first time."

Qi Yibei raised his palm, "The bridal chamber? Do you want to have a baby?"

Fu Youran stroked the place where she was beaten, and said reluctantly: "I'm doing this for you. I don't think the emperor would be happy to neglect the bride on the wedding night?"

"Hey, you yelled so easily," Qi Yibei said angrily, "You wouldn't coax her first!"

"What if we don't get back in a year?"

"That's impossible!" Qi Yibei never thought about this possibility.

Fu Youran smiled and said, "Why don't you consider my proposal? Marry me, and your troubles will naturally go away."
