Rebirth: Splendid Wedding

Chapter 103 The situation forced the dark tide to surge (3)
However, Emperor Wu Cheng thought that the time at the end of the month was too long. After many discussions with civil and military officials and sending letters to Xilin Kingdom, with the consent of Emperor Jingxi, a result was finally made.The competition to recruit relatives was cancelled, and Princess Leping was asked to participate in the lantern festival in the middle of the month. She would ask questions, and whoever answered her questions correctly would be her son-in-law.

As for the breaking of the bowstring and the collapse of the ring, it was verified at the scene of the accident that it turned out to be a quality problem of the material.The wooden pillars used in the arena were actually infested with bugs, and the wooden planks were thin and brittle, unable to withstand the strong impact force at all.

Emperor Wu Cheng was furious, and immediately asked the Ministry of Criminal Justice to investigate and deal with the matter, together with the broken bowstring in the competition.These two incidents are of no small importance, especially the arena incident. Fortunately, the crown prince and Prince Yong were not harmed in this accident, but this is the crown prince of a dangerous country.

Fengshou Palace

"What? You didn't ask someone to do the collapse of the ring?" After hearing what the imperial concubine said, the empress dowager was very shocked.

"Mother, just think about it, I love Lin'er so much, how could I hurt him." The imperial concubine explained: "I just let people tamper with the bow and arrow and sent people to start a small riot in Chuncheng. Wang will definitely rush back and withdraw directly from the competition. The other contestants are almost all the children of the officials in the court. If you give a hint, you will not compete with Lin'er. Isn't Lin'er's only opponent just a few people? According to Feng Qingge He and his eldest son Tuoba Hong both belong to each other, and the only ones who can compete with Lin'er are Prince Yong and Prince Jing. It's just that Prince Yong's strength is neglected. In the past, his performance was always inferior to Lin'er's, only archery If Lin'er wins, or if he is disqualified from the competition, Lin'er will surely win."

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager shook her head and said: "How did the Ai family teach you in the past, don't underestimate the enemy, you see, Prince Yong has dominated the competition this time, and some people will say that he is ignorant in the future, A Dou who can’t afford it? Don’t forget, he is also the emperor’s son.”

The imperial concubine's mood sank, and Liu Mei frowned, "Then what should I do?"

The empress dowager pondered for a moment, then said: "Since you didn't ask someone to do the ring, then let the prince investigate. As long as he makes meritorious service, he will not be able to shake his position as crown prince. As for the matter of bows and arrows, you can let someone do it." Take the blame and don't let them investigate any further."

"Okay, Meier will do it."

The Empress Dowager added: "Also, for the Lantern Festival, you select some women of marriageable age. Prince Yong is about to marry his concubine."

"Mei'er knows what to do. How about adding Miao Qing, who just turned 16, to the list? She is beautiful, intelligent, intelligent, and knows how to read words and expressions, but more importantly, she is filial. She is completely different from those girls before, presumably. Prince Yong will like it."

The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "Then do as you please."

Capital Garden

In the capital city at the end of August, the temperature at night was relatively low. Concubine Yan did not go out for the past two days, and declined everyone's visits. Even Xuanyuan Yao refused to go out, leaving Qianwei alone to guard her.

And she was hiding under the quilt at the moment, even though she was covered with five silk quilts and there were several heaters in the room, they couldn't warm her.

The cold air didn't come in from the outside, but radiated out of her body, and now she had completely changed into an iceman.

This is her first seizure, so she has no experience at all. At first, she thought that as long as there were more quilts and a heater in the room, it would be fine. "Bing Po" continuously released cold air, and the temperature in the room was several times lower than the outside temperature. In order to dispel the cold air in the room, she opened the windows.
