This master is fake and cold

The palace banquet is about to begin, what will be waiting for her?

Chang Le sneered, she had long been mentally prepared for the situation in front of her.When Goya caught up panting, she turned and walked towards Tsinghua Garden.

Her two good brothers are better informed than she is, how could they let go of such a good opportunity?For the royal family, marriage is the best way to strengthen their own power, and everyone understands this truth.They won't just watch her find a backer and shelter under their noses.

It is much more difficult to find a young man of the right age with such a family background than a young talent who is worthy of Changle's status.It's hard to think so hard for her two brothers.

I don't know who is the first person who can't stand it tonight?

Changle strode into the place where the palace banquet was held, and the palace people at the entrance hurriedly reported loudly: "His Royal Highness Changle Princess has arrived—"

The voices of the palace people passed down layer by layer, and the place was separated from the outside by a screen. Chang Le crossed the screen and heard Emperor Jing's hearty laugh: "My little Chang Le is here! Look at the group of people around me!" Boys, I can't wait."

Chang Le's gaze hastily swept across the audience, all the seats were full of people, no matter if they were ministers or women's family members, they all gathered here and sat without separate seats.People from the palace shuttled constantly, because Emperor Jing was sitting on the stage, everyone's movements were light and soft.The ministers and wives sitting at the table were silent, the world was eerily quiet.

Changle just glanced over it roughly, and found many familiar faces among them.It seems that his father is really determined to find a good husband-in-law for her. As long as he is a minister of the third rank or above in the Daqing Dynasty and has a son of the right age in his family, he will not be absent today.

After Chang Le went up to pay respects to his father and parents, he just said: "The scenery in the palace has not changed much from what Chang Le saw when he was a child. Chang Le suddenly rose up and walked all the places where he played when he was a child. I feel a lot of emotion in my heart. Too many, I forgot the time for a while, and I ask my father to punish me."

All eyes fell on the girl standing respectfully in front of the emperor. The emperor had already hinted at the purpose of this palace banquet.The men's expressions were different, most of them were thinking about the benefits this marriage would bring to them; while the wives had critical expressions, and looked over Changle secretly from top to bottom, no matter how they looked at it, they were not satisfied.After all, Changle's identity is there. She is a member of the royal family and the emperor's favorite daughter. Her rank is higher than most of the powerful officials present.If such a person enters the family, he must not be worshiped as an ancestor, and he must not be beaten or scolded.Trembling with fear, she was afraid that she would drop some eye drops in front of the emperor, which would harm the lives of her own family.

It is said that after many years of daughter-in-law becoming a mother-in-law, when the new daughter-in-law first enters the house, most mother-in-laws will give a blow to her, otherwise how will she discipline her in the future?But if he let his son become the master and let this ancestor enter his family, wouldn't even his own mother-in-law be trampled underfoot?

Almost all the ladies present showed worried expressions.

On the contrary, the boys following them watched Chang Le curiously. They didn't have much experience, and they weren't as calm as their father.I don't understand the general affairs of the back house, and I can't see my mother's entanglement and hesitation.Undoubtedly, Changle's elegant and delicate appearance left a very good impression on them. If such a wonderful person marries home, even if he introduces it to his colleagues, he will still have a long face.

What's more, in the Daqing Dynasty, there was a saying that without a consort, he could not hold real power. As long as he became the princess' consort, the emperor would never let his most beloved daughter marry a man with a low official position, right?After that, I will definitely be on the rise. Wouldn't it be beautiful to kill two birds with one stone?

For a while, everyone had different thoughts.Emperor Jing motioned Chang Le to sit down on the first seat under his left hand, turned to her sideways and smiled and asked, "What emotion does little Chang Le have? Let me tell my father."

Next to Changle, sitting second from Jingdi's left hand is her third brother Su He, who is looking at her with a smile that is not a smile.The first person on the right hand of Emperor Jing is not her second brother, Ding Wang Su Yong.Empress Qi did not sit next to the emperor, but sat in this position instead.Under her, there is actually Wen Xiang, who is the head of all officials.

Chang Le's heart sank. Prime Minister Wen's document was Su He's grandfather and his biggest backer.From Wen Xiang down, the third position is Ding Wang Su Yong.It seems that the emperor didn't even bother to cover up his suppression.At this time, Su Yong lowered his head expressionlessly, and didn't even look at Chang Le who was sitting diagonally opposite. In front of the emperor, he always treated everything with such an indifferent attitude.

Chang Le has already thought about it, her second brother's mind is somewhere else, and he is not in the mood to play some dirty tricks on her for the time being.The only thing she has to guard against tonight is Su He.Although Su Yong didn't seem to want to intervene in this matter, if she really suffered a crushing defeat in the confrontation with Su He, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't stab her in the back, making her completely unable to turn over.

Changle considered for a moment, then said quietly: "When Changle passed by the Compassionate Ning Palace just now, I saw a tall lychee tree outside the Compassionate Ning Palace. I still remember that one year when the lychees were ripe, you and the queen mother did not allow Changle to eat more, because the lychees are easy to cause Yin The virtual fire is flourishing. But Changle was ignorant and greedy at the time, so he secretly climbed to the lychee tree to eat lychees while the queen mother and the palace people were unprepared. The palace people couldn't find Changle everywhere, and finally you came back from court and told the guards After searching the entire palace, I found out where my daughter was hiding. Changle refused to go down, but you personally hugged Changle down from the tree."

The emperor's expression was a little strange. He looked at his favorite daughter in a daze, with a little nostalgia in his eyes, and murmured: "I also remember this incident. At that time, your mother was frightened and cried. Look for me, beg me to quickly ask Li De, the commander of the guards, to lead someone to search the palace. At that time, I found that you had climbed such a high tree, and my heart was also tight. I was afraid that you would accidentally fall and get hurt. After bringing you down , I was very angry and gave you a good lesson."

"Yes," Chang Le smiled slightly: "Father took a ruler and swollen Chang Le's hands. Your face was pale at that time, and Chang Le knew that he was wrong, so he didn't dare to beg for mercy, so he kept watching with tears in his eyes. You. After you hit him a few times, you couldn't bear it anymore, threw away the ruler, and ordered the imperial doctor to give Changle medicine in a panic."

"In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed. The tree has not changed at all, but Changle will never be that gluttonous and playful child again." She said softly.

The emperor unconsciously held the armrest of the seat with his hands, and Chang Le saw his fingertips were turning blue and white.The voices of their conversation were very low, and only a few people sitting in front of the emperor could hear them.After all, these are royal family affairs and should not be heard by outsiders.

Hearing what she said, Empress Qi couldn't help laughing first, then her eyes gradually became rippling.In a blink of an eye, that playful and active daughter who is soft and glutinous like a small dumpling has grown up so much. She has become more and more calm and quiet, and she has no naughty appearance when she was young.Thinking that the purpose of tonight was to choose a son-in-law for her, and that she was about to get married, Empress Qi felt sore eyes.

She was emotional for Chang Le's words, and Wen Xiang beside her lowered her head in a playful manner, carefully looking at the pattern on the green glaze tea cup in front of her, as if she could see the flowers from it.But Su Yong suddenly raised his head and glanced at Chang Le lightly at this time, inexplicably, Chang Le felt an indescribable chill from his eyes.

She was puzzled, and when she looked over again, Su Yong lowered his head again, even his posture was exactly the same as before, as if he hadn't moved at all.Chang Le didn't waste time on this question, and turned to look at Su He beside him.

Su He is obviously not as scheming as his grandfather, but after all, he has worn the mask for so many years, and he didn't let his cold and stern face show too clearly, but the eyes he looked at Chang Le contained a violent storm, so gloomy that he almost dripped out of water.

A faint disdain flashed in Changle's eyes.Su He discovered her purpose, but so what?

She suddenly mentioned these old events at this time, so it was not aimless.Firstly, when it comes to the Compassionate Ning Palace, even if the imperial grandmother said she has her own plan, she doesn't need to intervene.But she still had resentment towards her father in her heart, so she naturally wanted to express her anger for her grandmother.It is true that she climbed that lychee tree, but she also heard that when Emperor Jing was young, he did almost exactly the same thing as she did when she was a child.

At that time, the father's elder brother, the first emperor Lingdi, had already inherited the throne, but the throne was vacant, and the Queen Mother was still the master in the harem.The palace was frightened and reported the matter to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager was furious and searched for it herself for a day, almost searching the entire palace before finding her son who was hiding in the lychee tree.

She was startled and angry, and when he came down, she casually picked up the whip in the hand of the maid beside her and lashed at her son. How could a young man with thin skin and tender flesh have suffered such a crime? He was crying in pain, but he didn't dare to beg for mercy. .After a few strokes, the queen mother couldn't bear it anymore, she dropped the whip and hugged her son and burst into tears.

Chang Le mentioned this matter, such a similar scene, it is impossible for the emperor not to think about his childhood.Even if he is not joking, he will not change his decision casually, but in his heart, because of his unfilial behavior, he will feel a little bit guilty towards the Queen Mother, right?

As for the second purpose...
