When the prince has the ability to read minds, he switches to the princess

The emperor asked someone to invite her in.

The imperial concubine was already stunning, but as soon as she came in, she looked aggrieved and made people love her.

"Your Majesty, Welfare is my concubine's daughter. How can you not think about her?"

The emperor considered it in his mind and said, "My dear concubine, after much consideration, I feel that Fu Fu should not marry Zhuge Qing."

"Why? Zhuge Qing is quite famous in Nanjun, and now he is entering the capital for the sake of the cabinet. Why can't he marry Fu Fu?"

"My concubine, haven't you heard? He was engaged to Princess Fushun. If Fushun doesn't want it, do you want Fushun?"

What does Fushun not want? It was obvious that he didn't want Fu Shun.

"A man who clings to the royal family and nobles is not worthy of marrying us. You can lose face, but I cannot afford to lose face."

"Then you can't betroth Fang Shurou to him. That girl Fang is simply not worthy of him."

"How come Princess Shen's future wife and sister are not worthy of him?"

"What achievements can someone like Lao Jiu make in the future?"

"How is Lao Jiu?"

"..."

The imperial concubine realized that the emperor was angry, so she stopped talking and then slipped away.

The emperor asked Li Quanxi: "Is Lao Jiu very unbearable?"

Li Quanxi said: "Your Majesty, Master Jiu is very skilled in martial arts and very resourceful. Among the others, he is the only one who doesn't like to show off."

Don't like to show off?

The emperor doesn't think so. Concubine Yi is a very flamboyant person in the palace.

And Lao Jiu only had a few impressions on him.

"Lao Jiu used to be a bit naughty and got into trouble all the time."

Li Quanxi said something more: "Your Majesty, Master Jiu is not causing trouble, he has no one behind him, and he has no choice but to seek justice for others."

"Ok?"

"Your Majesty, a slave accidentally broke the Royal Concubine's bracelet before. Based on the Imperial Concubine's habits, that slave should have been beaten to death long ago. Master Jiu saw it at that time, and Master Jiu took the blame for his mistake. Does your Majesty remember that Master Jiu got a slap in the face for this?"

The emperor remembered that the concubine said that the bracelet was given by the Queen Mother and was of great significance.

At that time, he also thought that Lao Jiu was naughty and deliberately broke the bracelet.

But it turned out to be a misunderstanding.

"Other than that, what else do you know?"

Li Quanxi said: "Another time, a descendant of the imperial concubine's mother-in-law forcibly married the daughter of the imperial censor. When Master Jiu found out, he got into a fight with the man and threatened that he also fell in love with the censor's daughter. "

The emperor seemed to be impressed by this matter.

The imperial concubine complained at the beginning, what was she talking about?

"Master Jiu is not naughty, he just has a kind heart."

Yes, the imperial concubine cried and said that Lao Jiu was so naughty that he robbed the minister's wife. At that time, he was very angry and beat Lao Jiu again.

But he was not punished by the stick and shouted at the concubine's mother's children, quite ready to quarrel with him.

"What happened to the imperial censor's daughter in the end?"

"Back to the emperor, the imperial censor said that he did not dare to offend the Chen family and Master Jiu, so he hurriedly married off his daughter casually."

"Hmph, he does know how to avoid trouble."

"Your Majesty, the imperial censor is thinking of Master Jiu and often helps him in the court..."

The emperor looked at Li Quanxi subconsciously. Li Quanxi realized that he had said the wrong thing and stopped quickly.

However, Emperor Ruizong did not doubt it, but asked: "Did he help Lao Jiu?"

"Your Majesty, I have met with the imperial censor several times to advise Master Jiu not to go too far. I guess I have suppressed Master Jiu a few times."

The emperor nodded, his advice was correct.

"Lao Jiu didn't help him in vain."

Li Quanxi felt relieved.

"As a descendant of the royal family, Master Jiu shouldn't have to compromise so much, but he has no one behind him..."

The emperor hummed.

"Most of the people in the court are people who adapt to the changing circumstances."

Emperor Ruizong thought for a while and then said: "Li Quanxi, the academician of the Hanlin Song Dynasty came in to draw up the decree."

"Yes."

The emperor's edict said: "The great fortune of the saint is carried by heaven and earth, and no one fails to respect his relatives." When the emperor orders Pu General, he will not fail to follow the sunrise at the corner of the sea. In the past, my imperial ancestor was born and raised in many ways. The tortoise, new and dragon seals are given far away to the realm of Fusang; the Zhenmin seal script is given to the mountains of Zhengguo. Zhu Gaoyong, the king of Shen County, has made great contributions to protecting the country. His fame will last for generations to come. Now, in compliance with God's will, Zhu Gaoyong is crowned King Shen of the current dynasty.

After Li Quanxi read out the imperial edict, he looked at the confused Zhu Gaoyong who was kneeling with a smile.

"Your Majesty, please accept the order."

"Eunuch Li, I haven't done anything recently, have I?"

"My lord, you single-handedly defeated many Xixia warriors, resisted foreign enemies, convinced Xixia, and enhanced our country's national prestige. This is a great achievement and deserves a reward. And..."

"And what?"

"Furthermore, Your Majesty, your marriage is approaching, and the Emperor wants to add some icing on the cake with you. It will also be a good talk. Isn't there a popular saying among the people, when the gold medal is named, the bridal chamber will be full of flowers and candles."

Zhu Gaoyong was in a very good mood after hearing this.

"Father is so kind to me."

"The prince deserves this."

Zhu Gaoyong accepted the imperial edict and then asked secretly: "What happened in the palace today?"

Li Quanxi secretly replied: "Today, the imperial concubine came to the emperor to discuss matters. She said a few words about the prince, but the emperor was not happy upon hearing this. The prince is a man of heaven, and this time he has given the Xixia envoys power, which is the pride of our Daliang. "

Zhu Gaoyong seemed to understand that the imperial concubine had kicked the iron plate.

"Come on, I understand. I have been busy with my wedding recently. I will invite Eunuch Li over for a drink after this period of time is over. Eunuch Li will go buy something by himself today." After saying this, he handed Eunuch Li a thousand taels of silver notes.

Eunuch Li collected it.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you are busy first."

Zhu Gaoyong lowered his head and looked at the imperial edict again. All the servants in the house quickly knelt down to congratulate him.

"Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince."

Zhu Gaoyong was happy and immediately rewarded him.

Fang Xirou paid her respects to the old lady today. Zhu Gaoyong was named King Shen, which was also what the old lady told her.

After Fang Xirou heard about it, the corner of her right eye jumped subconsciously.

This is not a good sign.

The old lady looked at Xirou and smiled.

"Xi Rou is indeed a blessed child. First she was Wen Chengxiu, and now she is Prince Shen."

After hearing this, Fushun thought about it carefully, and he really felt that it was the same thing.

"People who are close to you will really rise to the top."

Fang Xirou shook her head, she didn't dare to take credit.

"The thing about Prince Shen is that a father loves his son. If you look closely, it's not surprising that all the princes were rewarded before they got married."

"Don't be humble either."

Fang Xirou smiled and said, "Then let me get closer to you, Wangwang, okay?"

After saying that, he half-hugged her, causing Fushun to hide away with a smile.

However, just as the two were laughing, someone came outside the door.

The head of the Zhuge family and his wife, Zhuge Geng and Shen Caiyue. That is, Zhuge Qing's parents.

Shen Caiyue and Mrs. Hou of Dingyuan Hou Mansion, who is Fushun's mother, are cousins. They have a good relationship and have made some oral marriage arrangements before.

But this marriage was ruined by Zhuge Qing.

Her own son, Shen Caiyue, said there was nothing she could do.

The son's upbringing by his grandparents was too strict since he was a child, and he had no friendship that a child should have. He could only judge the situation carefully.

This time, Shen Caiyue came to apologize and to ask Princess Fushun to marry her second son.
