A Thousand Hills

Chapter 368

Xie Moru knew that Concubine Xie Huanggui was an ambitious person. The fact that Concubine Xie Huanggui was able to push her to get married showed that a long time ago, Concubine Xie Huanggui wanted to fight for the next position.

Even in the harem, Concubine Xie Huanggui's reputation has always been better than that of Concubine Zhao Huanggui. Thinking about it, many years ago, Concubine Xie Huanggui thought hard about why Emperor Mu Yuan didn't intend to make her queen.Or, when Empress Su came to the throne, Concubine Xie Huanggui would think that Empress Su's mother was more valuable than her son, and her son was not as good as the current Emperor Zhaoming and the five princes in the past.

In fact, Concubine Xie Huanggui has always been biased.

Xie Moru said that the root cause of Concubine Xie Huanggui's inability to take the throne for a long time is not whether the third prince is outstanding or not, nor is it that Emperor Mu Yuan intends to strike a balance between the two concubines. The position is all up to her.

This kind of narrow, hypocritical, hypocritical, character.

In the eyes of a narrow person, everyone is narrow.

Just as Concubine Xie Huanggui believed that Xie Moru's push for Princess Wen Qing to marry the Prince of Beiliang was due to Xie Moru's revenge for her push for Xie Moru to marry Ximan.

It has to be said that Concubine Xie Huanggui thinks highly of herself too much.

Xie Moru's revenge was completed when she ascended to the throne. These people, those who have treated Xie Moru badly, have already bowed their heads under her throne, and they will spend the rest of their lives trying to figure out what Xie Moru wants to do. spent in anger.

Xie Moru wants them to live, and they will live.Willing them to die, they will die.

To take revenge on Empress Dowager Xie, why bother.

The matter of Princess Wen Qing is just following the trend.

Princess Wen Qing is of royal blood, among the vassals, only Princess Wen Qing is a suitable candidate for marriage, and she is the right person, so it is natural to marry her.As for taking revenge on Concubine Xie Huanggui, she could be conscious of it.Xie Moru acted, is it just a purpose?Could it be that all the concubines and concubines were allowed to stay in the palace just because they wanted to take revenge on the empress dowager Xie?In the face of the general trend of restraining the vassal kings, the things about Xie Huanggui and the concubine are just minor details.

How can a concubine like Xie Huanggui deserve to be in the second place?
It has to be said that Emperor Mu Yuan placed her in the position of noble concubine before his death, and his vision was quite precise.

Xie Moru left the dead and silent Palace of Mercy, and autumn is approaching. Although the Palace of Mercy is as luxurious and magnificent as before, in this autumn wind, it seems to be getting more and more bleak.Xie Huanggui's tears and apology did not move Xie Moru at all, and Xie Moru didn't want to talk to Xie Huanggui about what he meant back then.

Concubine Xie Huanggui's life is actually over, although she is still alive.

But her life is really over.

The matter between Princess Wenqing and the Prince of Beiliang has become a fact. In fact, the entire imperial capital, except for the Empress and Concubine Xie, even the Xie family did not respond. As Xie Bai said, "The Prince of Beiliang is worthy of the princess's marriage."

Xie Bai has been a diplomat all his life, and he understands the benefits of this marriage better than anyone else.

On the contrary, Jin Wang Yufan was very fortunate to know this, and said to Jin Wangfei, "The fifth brother treats me well, and gave us Wen An an early marriage."

Concubine Jin also said, "Yes." Others didn't feel the matter of Princess Wen Qing, but Concubine Jin, who is also a feudal concubine and has a biological daughter, was deeply touched. It is to restore the country, under such circumstances, which mother would like her daughter to marry far away to a place like Beiliang country?

For example, Princess Qi was crying to King Qi, "Northern Liang Country is located in the extreme north, and people can freeze to death in winter. I heard that there is a poor place in the country where food is not well-off, and my daughter has gone. How will I live?"

King Qi persuaded, "You are thinking too far. Although Beiliang is in the north, it is not what you think. You have never eaten anything else. Beiliang produces ginseng, and you have eaten Beiliang ginseng. Besides, other Paper and rice also have many merits. If it was as you said, the people of Beiliang would have starved to death. What's more, the prince of Beiliang is still in the imperial capital, and he can live in it. Marriage, although I don't think about it, but if you think about it, Wen Qing used to be a concubine, and will be a queen in the future, and the grandson he gave birth to will also be the lord of a country."

Princess Qi cried, "It's not as easy as His Highness said."

"Don't believe me." King Qi took out his handkerchief to wipe away the tears for Princess Qi, and said in a gentle voice, "Do you think the prince of Beiliang is like the king of Ximan? Naturally, we dare not take big ones. Although our Wen Qing is not comparable to the status of Princess Duanning, he is also a majestic vassal king and princess. If it is not an important marriage, His Majesty will not order Wen Qing alone. Think about it, marrying Ximan is a crime. The minister's daughter was dismissed. Although Wen Qing is the princess, she still has the weight of the princess. How dare the prince of Beiliang treat her badly. Just think about it, whether it is better for a queen or a minister's wife, at least In terms of status, the queen still has the upper hand."

Princess Qi's plan was better, and she said, "After all, my daughter is getting married, and I have prepared a lot of dowry here. Can we go to the imperial capital to watch the ceremony?"

King Qi smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry, I'll seal the paper for Your Majesty and see how His Majesty arranges it."

Princess Qi forced herself to accept it sadly.

King Qi sighed inwardly. He had never thought about this marriage. If he wanted to agree, it was fine in the imperial capital, but his daughter was going to Beiliang in the future. Once she went to Beiliang, she might never see her again.But from a political point of view, this marriage is not without merit. After all, this is his daughter, and the marriage is done, and it is also a meritorious service to the country.Even the girl herself, if she can secure the position of Queen of Beiliang, her life will not be bad.

King Qi thought so, and went to talk to his daughter about the pros and cons of marriage.

Anyway, the marriage is settled, so you have to think about it, let alone hold grudges, the court needs this marriage, but once the daughter is married, why not need the court to rely on in the future.

King Qi's memorial was quickly sent to the court. Emperor Zhaoming was very happy after reading it, and said that the third brother was sensible.

Xie Moru smiled, "Prince Qi and Concubine Qi are all sensible people."

"I asked Qin Tianjian to calculate the auspicious date, and set it in March next year. After the new year, let Qi Wang and his wife come to the imperial capital to watch the ceremony."

Xie Moru said, "This is also good."

The Crown Prince of Beiliang was also delighted to receive this marriage gift, and entered the palace to thank him for his kindness.

By bestowing a marriage to the crown prince of Beiliang, Emperor Zhaoming also bestowed marriages on his fourth and fifth sons. Shiro bestowed a marriage on a daughter of the Tang family, and Goro bestowed a marriage on a daughter of the He family. She is the chief minister of the cabinet, and the grandfather of the He family is also the prime minister of the cabinet. Today, He Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is also an important minister of the cabinet.Needless to say, the two girls were personally inspected by Empress Xie, so they are naturally outstanding people.

The marriage given by the prince of Beiliang is a joy to see, but the marriage given by Shiro Goro is quite beyond people's expectations. In the eyes of the rich and powerful, it is not that Empress Xie's natal family does not have ladies of the right age. Today, Empress Xie's status is beyond doubt Yes, because of her, Emperor Zhaoming didn't choose Xiunu.However, Empress Xie is not without vision. The only shortcoming of the first consort who has made great contributions to the success of Emperor Zhaoming is that she does not have her own son.The analysis of the powerful circle is that Empress Xie is afraid that she will betroth her niece to the concubine prince who is pleasing to the eye.In this way, the connection between the concubine prince and his aunt was increased.

Originally, people were optimistic about Liu Lang and the sixth prince.

However, before the late emperor died, he specially gave the sixth prince a daughter of the Su family as his wife. This marriage cannot be changed.

Because of this gift of marriage, Liu Lang dropped two places in the list of candidates for the position among the princes, and people's eyes are fixed on the fourth and fifth princes, to see which of these two princes can win his mother-in-law, Empress Xie blue eyes.Unexpectedly, this time Emperor Zhaoming bestowed the marriage on the daughters of the Tang family and the He family, not the daughter of the Xie family.

This shows that Empress Xie completely withdrew from the matter of the prince and concubine.

It was too unexpected.

Not to mention the elite circle, but Concubine Xu Shu and Concubine Xian in the palace were also silent for a while when they heard the marriage gift from the two princes, Shi Lang and Wu Lang, and sighed softly.

Don't think that it is a good thing for Empress Xie to completely withdraw from the concubine. This may also show that before Empress Xie herself gave birth to a son, her choice will not be shaken in the slightest.

And can Empress Xie give birth to a son? This empress has been doting on her for decades, and she is now forty-one.

Liu Lang, who was in a state of anxiety, was very calm. He was still studying, and what he was like before is still what he is now.Now that the two elder brothers got a marriage gift, Liu Lang naturally had to go over to congratulate him.

Especially for Shiro's gift of marriage, Tang Xiao, a descendant of the Tang family, was among Shiro's companions. Because Xiao Tang was an errand in the palace at that time, Xiao Tang was Tang Xiao's uncle, so everyone often called Tang Xiao Xiao Tang.Everyone laughed, "At first I was a companion, but now I'm an uncle." Shiro married Tang Xiao's younger sister.

After Emperor Zhaoming bestowed the marriage on Silang and Wulang, there was a memorial in the royal history in the court, asking Emperor Zhaoming to establish a prince and establish the country as soon as possible.

Emperor Zhaoming said, "When I first came to the throne, my lovers were in a hurry to set up a reserve. I know that my lovers are loyal. This matter is not urgent for the time being. After all the vassal kings came to the country, there are no princes in charge. Princes I’m too old, so I should learn to work as an errand.” Then, Dalang was assigned to the Ministry of Rites, Erlang came out from the Internal Affairs Department, and was assigned to the Ministry of Accounts, Saburo was still in the Ministry of War, Shiro and Goro, one in the Ministry of Industry and one in the Ministry of Punishment.Dalang Saburo used to work with his uncles, but now he has become the top leader.

As for the matter of establishing a reserve, let's put it on hold for now.

Emperor Zhaoming told Empress Xie about this matter during breakfast, and Empress Xie smiled, "The ministers are too anxious, the children are still young, even if they want to establish a reserve, they are not in a hurry."

"Isn't it?" Emperor Zhaoming said, "I always want to see how the wise and foolish are?"

"What Your Majesty said is true. You should be cautious about this matter. Reserved position is no small matter. Not to mention others, why did the late emperor pass away? Didn't the root cause hurt the dragon's heart and body because of mourning the crown prince? This reserve position, if Giving it to a child who can't support him is not loving him, but harming him." Empress Xie said, "I said something inappropriate, we don't have a legitimate son, and the children are all concubines. Although there are sons and mothers Your Majesty doesn't need to consider the concubines, I know them, and they don't understand the secrets of political affairs. According to me, Your Majesty might as well discuss the qualifications of several children to see who is better, give them more opportunities, and slowly You will be able to show it. Just like your majesty back then, your majesty first ruled Fujian and defeated Jingjiang. Afterwards, he regained Jiangnan, and his military exploits are well known in the world. Back then, the first emperor appointed you as the reserve, and all the officials in the court supported you. In this way, it will come to fruition, that is, the few vassal kings today, which one is not convinced."

"I think so too." After dismissing the servants in the palace, Emperor Zhaoming quietly said to his wife, "Liu Lang was young. After all, he grew up with you, so his identity is different. He was the one who replaced his father at the beginning, but, Chu The position is no better than the feudal position, it should be bigger, so it is a good idea. You just know it in your heart, don't say it out."

Empress Xie was funny, and gave Emperor Zhaoming a piece of chopsticks of green vegetables, "I know." He said again, "Although I raised him, there was a reason for it at the time. Ling Xiao didn't like this child, but I couldn't see it happening like this. I don’t want to raise him. But then again, there’s no room for selfishness in this reserve position. Your Majesty only needs to consider who is more suitable, and you don’t have to think about anything superfluous. No matter who your Majesty falls in love with, they are all my children and you must call me mother.”

Emperor Zhaoming ironed his heart, deeply felt that his wife was amiable and respectable.

The husband and wife said that they were going to reserve their seats for breakfast, and Emperor Zhaoming brought up the matter between his daughter and Uncle Zhongyong. Seriously."

Emperor Zhaoming said, "It's not serious to be married as a husband and wife. Do you have a good feeling between the two of you?"

Empress Xie stuffed a cup of tea into her husband's hand and said angrily, "What's the rush, you should listen to me."

"Alright, tell me." Emperor Zhao Ming sipped his tea and listened attentively.

"Our Duanning is still a little girl, and Uncle Zhongyong is 27 years old. Duanning is ten years older than us. If this man wants to coax a little girl, he will use tricks. If Uncle Zhongyong doesn't respect it, then he won't do it. Get someone first Good character, this is the first test. Now Zhongyong Bo behaves politely, which shows that he is a man of courtesy. He has passed the test of character before he can continue to teach Duanning. Wait a few days and see. If Duanning has a good impression of him, ask him again. Uncle Zhongyong means that both of you must be willing to do a marriage." Xie Moru said.

Emperor Zhaoming nodded, "It's up to you ladies and gentlemen to come to this matter, and you should be careful."

Xie Moru smiled, "Anyway, I want to stay in Duanning for two more years, take it slowly, Zhongyong Boyu is also a bit indifferent when it comes to men and women, he must be enlightened."

Emperor Zhaoming thought so.

Marrying a daughter is not marrying a daughter-in-law. If the daughter-in-law is dissatisfied, she can change it. If the son-in-law is dissatisfied, of course, she can also change it. However, Emperor Zhaoming still hoped that his daughter would get his way.

Talking about the marriage of children, Emperor Zhaoming said that Qiushou came up, and Empress Xie said, "Who is driving in the palace, your Majesty can count?"

Emperor Zhaoming said, "Of course you will follow me."

"I don't know this, I mean Concubine Shu Xianfei and the others." Xie Moru said.

I have to say the timing of Empress Xie mentioning this matter, just finished talking about the position reserve, Empress Xie mentioned concubines at this time, Emperor Zhaoming said directly, "Forget them, they don't seem to be hunting one by one, the empress dowager I can't move, why not let them stay in the palace to serve the Empress Dowager."

"That's also good." Speaking of the princes, whoever drives with him stays behind.Empress Xie said first, "Sanlang's daughter-in-law is pregnant, so I'm afraid she can't accompany her."

Emperor Zhaoming said, "Then let Dalang Saburo stay behind."

Empress Xie naturally praised it. As for who were accompanying the high officials in the court, Empress Xie did not ask.

This was Emperor Zhaoming's first autumn hunt after he ascended the throne, so the scene was rather grand. In the cabinet, He Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites and Liu Fufeng from the Ministry of War were left behind, and everyone else could accompany them.Emperor Zhaoming also ordered to accompany veteran ministers like Yongdinghou, and Zhao Guogong, who was highly valued by the first emperor, Emperor Zhaoming ordered him to go with him. Yes, you can follow along to have fun.

As for the relevant yamen in the DPRK and China, they are also quite attentive.Qin Tianjian calculated the auspicious days in advance and predicted the weather, and the Ministry of Rites of the Internal Affairs Department arranged travel matters.

Also, the sons of the vassal princes, princesses, and princesses in the imperial capital all ordered to drive along.

only--

The eldest princess Wenkang was getting old and worried about the empress dowager, so she didn't go.

Marquis Yong'an stayed in the imperial capital together with the eldest princess.

Princess Yi'an, the eldest princess of Yongfu, did not go because her husband's family was filial.

In addition, Princess Shouyichang's child is still young, so she is worried about her child, so she also stays in the imperial capital.

Princess Changtai and Princess Shouwanchang, the third sister, and Princess Shouwanchang, the fourth sister, brought their respective horses and accompanied them on a hunting trip in autumn.

At this time, Empress Xie and Emperor Zhaoming were watching Princess Duanning riding a horse from the window of the chariot. When encountering a spacious and flat boundary, Princess Duanning would even ride a horse for a while.In particular, before the hunting ground arrived, the princess carried a small bow and arrow on her back. Emperor Zhaoming smiled and said, "Duanning is really stinky."

Empress Xie smiled, "It's the first autumn hunting for the child so grown up, so I'm naturally happy."

Empress Xie is interested and will go out to ride a horse.At this time, Emperor Zhaoming was not at ease, and followed him on horseback, only worried that the Queen's riding skills were not good enough and she would fall.The two emperors and queens are so affectionate, Princess Shouwan and Princess Changtai said, "Our Majesty and Queen, there is no one else in this love."

Princess Changtai also thinks this way, but she feels that there are many unexpected things in the world, just like the empress and empress couple, Empress Xie is powerful, and His Majesty is also strict. I don't know how to shoot together, the old couple, the sweeter.

When they arrived at the palace, Emperor Zhaoming and the empress would naturally occupy the main palace and main hall, and the rest of the palace would be assigned to the prince and princess.Emperor Zhaoming said, "I was in charge of repairing this palace, and it was already dilapidated at that time. After it was repaired, it was used once, and when the earthquake happened that time, Father never used it again."

Empress Xie laughed and said, "In fact, the late emperor didn't like to travel very much."

Emperor Zhaoming thought the same way. He went to the palace to rest first, and then went hunting the next day.Princess Duanning specifically told her father to allocate a hunting area for her, but Emperor Zhaoming was worried and said, "You just follow me."

"I want to have my own hunting ground, and my second brother has them." Princess Duanning said unwillingly, "Father, please don't underestimate people, please. I have been learning riding and archery from Uncle Zhongyong for a long time."

Emperor Zhaoming had no choice but to arrange a small hunting area for his daughter, and ordered people to drive away the large prey in the hunting area, and asked Uncle Zhongyong to accompany the princess.

Emperor Zhaoming's hunting area was naturally the largest and the best. He had many battles when he was young, so he liked hunting quite a lot, otherwise he couldn't rush to arrange autumn hunting as soon as he left the country.Empress Xie was with Emperor Zhaoming, Xie Mochun and Xie Si'an followed Princess Duanning.

Emperor Zhaoming originally thought that his wife's riding and shooting would be just like that, but he didn't expect that Empress Xie had a lot of gains. On the first day, she shot a hare, two pheasants and a yellow sheep, but Princess Duanning got nothing.She was also very happy when she returned home, knowing that her mother had gained so much, Princess Duanning said straightly, "I often see my mother practicing boxing in the morning, but I don't see my mother shooting arrows." Empress Xie didn't know martial arts when she was young. It's just the body.Later, he got acquainted with Earl Jiang. Earl Jiang was first-class in martial arts. He taught Empress Xie a few tricks, and Empress Xie learned some tricks.As for riding and archery, Empress Xie said, "It's been a while since I haven't touched it, so it's a bit unfamiliar."

Princess Duanning was so curious that she asked, "Mother, when did you learn it?"

Xie Moru thought for a while, "When I was in my teens."

Princess Duanning fell to her feet and sighed, "What a pity, what a pity! Mother, if you have learned martial arts since elementary school, you are guaranteed to be a generation of heroes."

Xie Moru smiled.

Emperor Zhaoming said, "Your mother used to be good at riding, and she was also good at archery, but riding and shooting are combined, but I taught them."

Princess Duanning quickly asked why, and Emperor Zhaoming showed off the love story of how he took his wife to hunt and her wife got zero eggs, and then how he taught his wife how to ride and shoot.

Empress Xie's riding and archery is indeed good, although it can't be called superb, but she can achieve something, among the female family members, this is also first-class.Like Xie Mochun and Xie Si'an, there is no talent in this area at all. Therefore, some people said that Queen Xie's blood of the Fang family was still inherited.

In fact, not to mention the female family member of Empress Xie, even among the civil servants such as Li Jiujiang and Zhao Shiyu, they are all outstanding in riding and shooting, and they have achieved quite a lot.Emperor Mu Yuan knew about this, and specially rewarded the two of them.

On that day, what everyone ate was the prey they brought.

The next day, everyone went hunting again. Xie Mochun and Xie Si'an were really not the kind of guy, so they didn't go again. Princess Duanning went, and in the end, she sprained her ankle.Speaking of this matter, one has to recite the Buddha's name. Emperor Zhaoming even ordered people to drive away the large prey in Princess Duanning's hunting area. There were absolutely no bears or tigers.But things were just like this, two swords like Princess Duanning met a wounded black bear, Princess Duanning shot an arrow and hit the bear's eye, and the bear went crazy at that time.No matter how tame the horses in the royal family are, they are still horses. When the mad bear rushed forward, the horses were frightened and threw Princess Duanning off the horse.Fortunately, he sprained his foot, but fortunately there is Uncle Zhongyong, such a character as Uncle Zhongyong, it is said that Uncle Zhongyong killed the black bear with a knife.

Of course, it wasn't that easy in fact. The main thing was to kill the bear because of the large number of people.

The princess sprained her ankle, and after doing some simple treatment, she quickly sent the princess back.

Since then, Princess Duanning's heart has been moved for the first time. When Empress Xie went to visit her daughter, Princess Duanning said, "The maids are all terrified. In fact, it's not a serious injury. It's just a sprained foot. Hunting injuries are not a big deal. They just He took the medicine and applied it to me, Uncle Zhongyong held my foot, and with a click, the bone was reset." Princess Duanning was in good spirits, and she was not a delicate person, and she was a little happy when she said it.

Seeing her appearance, Empress Xie seemed to have a good impression of Uncle Zhongyong, Empress Xie asked, "How about allowing him to be your son-in-law?"

Princess Duanning was a little surprised, and then she blushed slightly, and said, "I don't know if Uncle Zhongyong is willing or not." After thinking about it, she said, "Uncle Zhongyong taught me how to ride and shoot these days, it's quite normal."

"If you are too humble, you can only be a subordinate. If your attitude is casual, it will be offensive to you. If you are willing, just ask him and he will know. If he is not willing, there are many good men in the world, just choose another one. "

Princess Duanning nodded, "Then mother, please ask me."

Princess Duanning grew up with Xie Moru. The biggest advantage is that she understands that many things in the world cannot be forced.

Empress Xie told Emperor Zhaoming what Princess Duanning meant, and Emperor Zhaoming was full of confidence, and said, "My dear daughter, how could Uncle Zhongyong not want it?" Immediately, he called Uncle Zhongyong to ask.

Uncle Zhongyong thought that Emperor Zhaoming wanted to blame him for the injury of his princess, but when he heard the emperor asked him if he would be willing to honor the Lord, Uncle Zhongyong was dumbfounded at the time, as if he was like a stone statue. Emperor Zhaoming saw him silent and asked , "You should say something."

Uncle Zhongyong didn't see people who have experienced thousands of troops, mountains of corpses and seas of fire. It was the first time for him to experience this, his face turned red immediately, and he said, "Minister, this, minister, that, minister, minister is determined. "It is said that although Uncle Zhongyong blushed, but he blushed so handsomely, there was only one Uncle Zhongyong in the court.You know, when the first emperor saw his good looks, he had the intention of honoring the Lord.It's just because Uncle Zhongyong has no father or mother, and his six relatives are dead, the first emperor was afraid that his life would be hardened, so he gave up.

Today Uncle Zhongyong said that his fate is hard, Emperor Zhao Ming thought about it, isn’t that true, Uncle Zhongyong has no father and mother, Empress Xie said, "Your Majesty knows all about you. If you think your fate is hard, you won’t mention it at all. This matter. If you don't want to, His Majesty will not force you."

Uncle Zhongyong hurriedly said again, "No force, no force."

Emperor Zhaoming turned his face away from snickering for a while, Fang corrected his face and said, "Then this matter is settled."

Zhongyongbo nodded again and again.

Uncle Zhongyong felt that there were always some unforeseen things in his ordinary life.

For example, if you practice martial arts in a Taoist temple in a good manner, you go down the mountain and go home, and your home is gone.He just wanted to avenge his parents, and then joined the bandit organization. Later, he found out that the leader of the bandits was Nan Anhou, and the second leader was Li Jiujiang.So, he later became an earl.

For another example, when His Majesty asked him to teach Princess Duanning how to ride and shoot, Uncle Zhongyong never thought that His Majesty would give him a marriage.Who is Princess Duanning?This is His Majesty's beloved daughter, His Majesty has only one daughter, the only daughter.Uncle Zhongyong is now also a member of the noble circle of the imperial capital, and he also knows how many outstanding children of the noble family of the imperial capital want to be the lord, so some people have not yet had their turn, so why is it his turn?

Uncle Zhongyong was not a person with rich feelings, but at this moment, he felt as if a hot current was rushing through his heart. Although he had a high title, because he had no family, he was suspected of having a hard life.I heard that the first emperor also inquired about him, and wanted him to be the fifth princess, but thinking of his parents' death, he felt that his life was hard, so he finally refused to agree to this marriage.It's just that he didn't expect that His Majesty promised to be his only beloved daughter.

Uncle Zhongyong doesn't have the idea that marrying a princess is not easy to serve. His Majesty is willing to love his daughter. As long as such a noble princess is not unreasonable, it shows that His Majesty trusts and values ​​his ministers.What's more, with his background, he was able to marry His Majesty's only beloved daughter, how much love he has!
It was the first time that Uncle Zhongyong returned to his tent with his lips curled up. Xiao Tang saw his rippling appearance. Xiao Tang was greatly surprised, and asked with gossipy eyes, "What's the matter? Why are you so happy! "

Uncle Zhongyong touched his face, quickly put on a serious face, and asked, "Senior brother, is there something wrong?"

"I heard that the princess fell, so I'll come over and ask if it's all right?"

"No serious problem." Uncle Zhongyong poured a cup of tea for Xiao Tang.

Xiao Tang was relieved when he heard that the princess was fine, and continued to ask Uncle Zhongyong, "I was still worried that you would be punished for defending the princess. You look so happy, it seems that I was worried for nothing. What do you seem to have? Great news!"

Uncle Zhongyong couldn't help but smiled again, quickly pursed his lips, and said, "It's a happy event, but I can't talk about it right now, senior brother will know in a few days."

"What are you so happy about? Could it be that His Majesty gave you a promotion?"

No matter how Xiao Tang inquired, Uncle Zhongyong didn't say anything, Xiao Tang couldn't ask, so he had to go back to his father's tent muttering, Tang Xiang said, "How? Uncle Zhongyong was not blamed by His Majesty, right?"

"No, he still looks very happy." Xiao Tang's eyes widened, his mouth was like beans pouring from a bamboo tube, and he said the matter again, "Father, you don't know, Junior Brother Peng has always had a face of fasting. , I don’t know why today, I can’t hide my joy, and I keep giggling. I also said that there is a happy event, but I can’t say it now, and I will know it later. I really don’t know what is a happy event that can’t be said?” Tang Qiqi muttered, "Shouldn't happy events be better if more people know about them?"
Tang Xiang was worthy of Emperor Zhaoming's confidant, thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "It really is a great joy."

Xiao Tang became more and more curious. He had a very good relationship with Uncle Zhongyong. He didn't know anything, but his father actually knew?Xiao Tang quickly asked, "Father, what's the matter?"

Tang Xiang laughed and said, "It's true that you can't say it right now, but you will know in a few days."

It made Xiao Tang anxious enough.

Xiao Tang went to ask his master again, Li Jiujiang also smiled after hearing Xiao Tang's ins and outs, "Well, it is indeed a great joy."

Xiao Tang asked, "What happy event?"

Li Jiujiang stroked the mustache on his lips and said with a smile, "It's hard to say now." Naturally, this matter can only be discussed after His Majesty bestows a marriage.

Xiao Tang: I hate smart people the most in my life!
