life in a hurry

Chen Feiqing said: "Oh, am I being rude?"

The emperor said: "No, I thought about it too, I didn't expect you to go with me."

Chen Feiqing laughed immediately, and said: "It's not the first time we two want to be together. By the way, General Tatar's youngest son is said to be quite good, honest and honest."

The emperor said: "As I mentioned, Ting'er despises him very much, saying that he is dark and strong, like a bear."

Chen Feiqing thought for a while, and said: "I think he is pretty good. I heard that he has indeed killed a bear with his bare hands. There are not a hundred or eighty women who throw flowers in their tribe."

The emperor waved his hand: "Ting'er doesn't like that."

Chen Feiqing said again: "The third young master of the prime minister's family is also good. I have been with him for a while, and he is very handsome. Speaking of which, he has been concentrating on his studies at home recently. I am thinking that he will not be the champion next time, at least he will To be in the top three."

The emperor said: "In this way, the next time the scientific examination cannot be presided over by the prime minister, I am not afraid that he will show favoritism, but I am afraid that he will be too selfless, and after the ranking is released, he will deliberately delay the third son to avoid suspicion."

Chen Feiqing said: "We'll talk about it when the time comes, first call him into the palace to show the princess."

The emperor thought for a while, and said: "Keep this one, you can see if there are other candidates. I can't just ask him to come alone, I have to think of a name, recruit a group of people, let Ting'er choose together .”

Chen Feiqing raised his head and thought for a while, then said: "Marshal Zuo's nephew is okay, I don't know him very well, but Marshal Zuo is bold, so he must be a good nephew. It's a pity that Marshal Zuo's son got married last year, and brother Zuo is also a thousand miles away. Pick one talent."

The emperor knocked on the table suddenly, and said: "I just remembered, last year's No. [-] scholar was named Qin Zhengwen, and he was also young, but he was a little ignorant. I was afraid that he didn't know much about officialdom, so I let him go to the Imperial Academy to adapt first. Let's get used to it together. Call him over."

The two of them talked more and more vigorously, Chen Feiqing said: "Speaking of Qin Zhengwen, I think of Zheng—forget it, forget it about Young Master Zheng."

The emperor laughed loudly: "Zheng Wenqi really forget it, he is in better health than me, and I really don't want him to be my brother-in-law, not to mention that Ting'er has met him many times, and secretly dislikes him with me." Very. But when the time comes, I’ll call him over together, he likes to come out to play, but his family always won’t let him go out, it’s quite sad.”

Chen Feiqing said: "It's really similar to you."

The emperor was startled, his smile gradually faded, and he said: "I am different from him. I am the emperor and the lord of the people in the world. Everyone respects and fears me. I can't just take advantage of it."

Chen Feiqing felt sorry for him.

The two grew up together. When they were younger, the emperor was still the prince. Although he had a good temperament, he was not a nerdy child. On the contrary, he was as lively as Chen Feiqing. He listened carefully in class and dragged Chen Feiqing all over the palace when he was free. run--

He has been a very sensible person since he was a child, and he knows when to do things.

Even if Chen Feiqing secretly brought him candied haws to eat, he obviously loved eating them, but he still ate two and stopped, saying he couldn't eat too much every day.

Chen Feiqing sighed: "The more you are like this, the more I want you to relax occasionally."

The emperor laughed again: "I'm not very tired, talking to you for a while, I feel a lot more relaxed."

Chen Feiqing didn't know what to say, she was silent for a while, and patted the emperor on the shoulder.

The emperor found it even more funny, raised his hand and snored his head.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"male--"

The princess quickly covered the maid's mouth and said, "Hush."

She dragged the maid a little farther, and then said in a low voice: "You are not allowed to say anything."

The maid nodded, but couldn't help but said: "The emperor and the young master—"

The princess straightened her face and said, "I told you not to say anything!"

The maid was quite courageous, and said: "The servant didn't say anything, but just told the princess."

The princess thought about it for the same reason, and she held back tightly, and was discouraged all of a sudden, sitting on the bench under the porch, staring at the flower pot in a daze.

The maid said cautiously: "Are those rumors true?"

The princess was annoyed: "How do I know?"

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became.

Chen Feiqing with a wooden head turned out to be not wood, that's all, eating what's in the bowl and wanting what's in the pot, it's so bold, and she's not afraid of being dragged out by the emperor to chop it up!

No, looking at it like this, the emperor's brother didn't intend to kill him at all.

No, in that case, why should you marry me to him?

No, no, no, the emperor's brother has mentioned it to me many times, saying that if I don't like Chen Feiqing, I should tell my mother as soon as possible——

The princess thumped her palms and understood everything!

Oh I see!

No wonder!

This marriage was all decided by the queen mother, and no one in the ruling and opposition parties objected. The emperor's elder brother and the wooden head did not dare to object.The poor emperor's brother has a good temper and has been bullied by everyone all the time, so he doesn't say anything about his sadness.That wooden head didn't dare to say anything, just looked at the emperor's brother sad, it turned out that he was still a wooden head.

The princess stomped her feet and said annoyedly: "I'm also a fool, why didn't I hear what the emperor meant?"

The maid asked in surprise, "What's the implication?"

The princess said: "No, I'm going to tell the queen mother that I want to divorce!"

The maid hurriedly said: "You can't talk nonsense, you will be married in three months."

The princess waved her hand and said, "What are you marrying? I'm not going to marry that idiot Chen Feiqing. Last time he punched me, I still remember the pain."

The maid was only transferred to her in the past two years. She didn't see the scene of the princess being beaten with her own eyes, but she heard it from someone. Now she covered her mouth and said with a smile: "They say it was a punch to confirm love."

The princess scowled, and the maid immediately stopped laughing, coughed, and echoed, "That idiot."

The princess glanced at her, and said dissatisfiedly: "You can't call him a fool, so what happened to my brother?"

The maid simply fell silent.

After Chen Feiqing came out of the palace, she went straight to Zheng's mansion to discuss with Young Master Zheng about holding a banquet.

Of course, he couldn't just say that he was looking for a hat for himself, but that the emperor was bored and wanted to be lively.

Young Master Zheng was also getting bored at home. He often held banquets in the mansion, but if he had too many banquets, his family banned them, for fear of affecting his recuperation.

After hearing this, Young Master Zheng clapped his hands and said: "Good thing! It's on me, who does the Emperor want to invite?"

Chen Feiqing said: "Young talent, it is best to be unmarried, with good conduct, not too rough in appearance, good in temperament, and patient with others."

Young Master Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Is this a meal or choosing a son-in-law?"

Chen Feiqing thought to herself, isn't this just choosing a son-in-law?

But he said: "Just do it like this, don't worry about it so much."

Young Master Zheng waved his hand: "Okay, that's fine. But let me ask first, are young talents all right, or just close relatives of high-ranking officials? Speaking of which, you can only have high-ranking officials and dignitaries, otherwise you won't be allowed to enter." Palace."

Chen Feiqing thought that this was indeed a problem, but he thought again that he couldn't find a random candidate for the princess, so he said: "Let's be a high-ranking official, be more reliable, don't sneak into the assassin later."

Young Master Zheng glared at him: "How do you talk? Will anyone I know have assassins?"

Chen Feiqing hurriedly apologized to him: "That's not what I mean, but you know so many people, you have already found enough sons from high-ranking officials and dignitaries, no matter how many people there are, it's not good. It's inevitable that there will be a mixture of good and bad people."

Young Master Zheng Xiao said: "That's right. But we have to start from the beginning, the emperor suddenly invited so many people into the palace, there must be a reason to make it sound."

Chen Feiqing heard him rambling, and felt that it was right to ask him for help. He had nothing to do at home all day long, so he was only thinking about these things.

The two were discussing, when Chen Shu came over in a hurry and said, "Master, people in the palace are looking for you."

Seeing his serious expression, Chen Feiqing waved to the eloquent Young Master Zheng, got up and went over, asking, "What's the matter?"

Chen Shu whispered: "Princess Ting has been taken away."

Chen Feiqing was startled: "Who did it?"

Chen Shudao: "A prisoner escaped from the prison, named Tie Erbo. He sneaked into the palace, intending to harm the emperor, but was rescued by the princess, and he took the princess away."

Chen Feiqing frowned more and more tightly.

This Tie Erbo is not an ordinary prisoner, he is the confidant of the great prince of the Mo country. He was arrested many years ago and has been kept in the depths of the prison without revealing it. This issue.Zhongyuan never admitted that he was arrested, and Moguo also pretended that there was no such thing.

Chen Shudao: "The envoys from the Mo country just entered Beijing yesterday, but Tierbo ran away today, will it be—"

Chen Feiqing raised her hand to stop him from continuing: "No matter what it is, it's useless to talk. Immediately send people to blockade the capital and search closely. Since he took the princess away, it will not be bad for the princess for a while, but he must find it as soon as possible. he."

Chen Shu asked: "Where is the envoy—"

Chen Feiqing said: "You come with me to visit them, go now." After he finished speaking, he turned to Young Master Zheng and said, "I'm in a hurry, so I'm leaving today, and I'll trouble you to have some refreshments for the banquet."

Seeing their serious expressions, Young Master Zheng wondered if something serious had happened. He wanted to ask but held back, knowing that since Chen Feiqing didn't say anything, he just didn't want to tell him about it.

So Young Master Zheng nodded: "If you are in a hurry, go quickly."

Chen Feiqing took Chen Shu straight to the post house.

Since the two countries intended to have a good relationship two years ago, they have not mentioned each other's small actions in secret, but on the surface, there have indeed been fewer disputes on the border.

At the beginning of this year, the little prince suddenly sent an envoy, saying that he wanted to ask the Central Plains to ask for marriage, but Chen Feiqing almost died of laughter, and after laughing, he told the emperor that he could not marry, and the little prince would die of poverty.

The emperor said at that time: "I don't have so many sisters who want to marry me. I heard you say that the little prince is a good person, but he is poor and suffering."

While talking, the emperor also laughed.

Chen Feiqing said: "It's not that he's a little bit poor, but I don't even want to talk about how miserable he is."

The emperor smiled for a long time, and said sternly: "However, he did this to continue to show his kindness to us. If he refuses outright, it may not be very good. How about this, why don't we invite him to the capital and tell him clearly that we are not happy to have a relationship with us?" As for the matter, the marriage of a man and a woman depends on each person's preferences, let him figure out a way for himself."

Chen Feiqing clapped her hands: "That's good, anyone who wants to marry can marry. If no one wants to, he can't blame us."

In this way, the little prince finalized his trip to the capital.

It was the first team of messengers who came to the capital yesterday, but the little prince was still on the way, saying that he went to hunt wolves to show his sincerity before leaving, and he wanted to bring ten white wolf skins as a dowry gift, who knows if he can beat them or not.

Because of this, even though the envoys had already entered Beijing, they did not arrange to meet the Holy Spirit, and only settled down in the post house to have a good rest.

Chen Feiqing and Chen Shu sat in the main room of the post house and waited, but they heard each other say: "I'm sorry, General Chen, the little prince is still on the way, Mr. You Cheng went out for a stroll in the capital, and didn't say when he would be back."

Chen Feiqing heard the words and asked, "He didn't say where he went?"

The other party said: "I didn't say anything, I just said to look around."

Chen Feiqing felt even more uneasy.

This time, the envoys handed in the name list before they arrived in Beijing. Not to mention the servants and guards, except for the little prince, none of them had a name Chen Feiqing was familiar with, especially the leading Moguo Youcheng named Jianglingzi, which was unheard of. , I didn’t even hear the little prince mention it, and sent someone to inquire, saying that after the little prince went to fight the white wolf, the eldest prince suddenly promoted his confidant, and before that, no one in Mo country knew him.

At that time, Chen Feiqing even suspected that the eldest prince wanted to do something to the little prince halfway through, which scared the little prince to find an excuse and run away.

Chen Feiqing thought for a while, got up and said: "In that case, I will come to visit later. The emperor is busy with political affairs, and the little prince has not yet arrived, so there is no banquet arranged. You can rest for two more days, if there is a place where the hospitality is not good , even go to An Guo Hou Mansion to find me."

The other party thanked him and sent him to the gate of the post house.

Chen Feiqing nodded to him, turned around and planned to go elsewhere, but heard a familiar voice behind him: "I am the distant cousin of the young master of An Guohou's mansion, he is getting married soon, and I will come to Beijing with my family to congratulate him , can you send me to the Hou's mansion? I just came to the capital not long ago, so I don't know the way."

Chen Feiqing let go of her heart in an instant, looked back at Princess Ting, and shouted: "Your cousin, I am here!"

Princess Ting was standing at the gate of the post house talking to people, she was wearing a man's coat, her face was a little dirty, her hair was messed up, she was embarrassed but calm.

At this time, she heard Chen Feiqing's voice, looked up, her calm expression instantly became aggrieved, she trotted over, raised her head and said tearfully: "I want the emperor to deduct your salary, why is it so easy to get assassins in the palace? It scared me to death .”

Chen Feiqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "I am not in charge of the palace guards."

The princess said: "Then you tell me who is in charge, I have to talk to him forever!" She waved her hand, "I'll talk about that later, hurry up and send me back to the palace, Brother Huang must be in a hurry."

Chen Feiqing looked at the few people whose backs were facing the gate of the posthouse, and asked, "They saved you?"

The princess nodded, looked back, and said: "I still have to thank them again. But I didn't say who I am, I just said that I am your cousin."

Chen Feiqing said: "I heard it. Go and thank them, and we will go back to the palace."
