The Qinghe County Lord of the Red Chamber

When the fifth prince Xiao Rang returned to the capital, it was already September and a half.

Daiyu accompanied the queen empress who was waiting for her beloved son in the palace.

And Shang Chanchan and Princess Lirong got the chance to go out of the city with the prince to pick up the fifth prince by taking a picture of the emperor's dragon buttocks which had been in a good mood recently.

The emperor should be in front, and the queen mother couldn't help it, so she had to call the two to go, and ordered Yunzhu to change the clothes of the young man for the two, and said: "Follow the prince, and don't move around."

There were carriages and horses along the way, and curtains had already been set up outside the city, so there was no chance of being seen or bumped into by others, so the Queen Mother reluctantly complied.

As soon as Shang Chanchan met Princess Lirong face to face, Xiao Lirong smiled, pointed at her and said, "You don't even take off your earrings, you don't look like a man."

He reached out to pick it off for her and put it in his purse, and then the two went to see the prince together.

The prince had a very headache: Why did he throw these two delicate hot potatoes to himself?It would be hard for him to be a man if any of these two girls made a mistake.

He once found his cousin two days in advance, and persuaded him politely: "Today not only is Xiao Rang returning to the capital, but also Feng's family, Wei's family, and some soldiers who have made military exploits and promoted back to Beijing. Although I have to change clothes, but..."

Xiao Lirong cut off her cousin's words with a smile: "His Royal Highness don't care about us, just pretend that we don't exist."

Prince:  …

Seeing that he couldn't persuade the two little girls, His Royal Highness had no choice but to complain to his own father again, expressing that he dared not take on the heavy responsibility.

However, the emperor had agreed to it before, but thinking about it now, although it was inappropriate, it would not be good for the dignified emperor to go back on the two little girls.

So he couldn't understand his son's evasion, and said: You are so good at taking care of them, and I leave everything to you.

Coincidentally, Prince Zhongyong was also by his side, because he asked: "Brother Huang, I heard that the Wei family father and son and the Feng family father and son are also returning to Beijing today?"

The emperor nodded.

Prince Zhongyong smiled wryly and said: "Li Rong is 17 years old this year. To tell you the truth, my brother loves this eldest daughter very much, and I don't want to give her away."

"I also thought that she is the daughter of our Xiao family anyway, so I thought about asking her to choose a county matriarch herself. But the princes and juniors of the whole city compiled a booklet and showed it to her, and she was not happy."

The emperor understood when he heard this, and showed a "gossip" smile: "I heard that the men of Feng and Wei are young talents, and they are also handsome. Especially the Wei family, called, by the way, called Wei Ruolan's. I remember this name, it's rare for someone to live up to his name, he's a good boy."

"I understand what you mean. I want Li Rong to see their characters with my own eyes. If I can't say it, I'm willing, right?"

Prince Zhongyong nodded repeatedly.

The emperor smiled: "No problem, our Xiao family's daughter can choose whoever she likes."

Then he turned around and threw this task to the prince again: "When the time comes, I will point out to your cousin and introduce everyone. If you see that she likes something, come back and tell me and your uncle."

"Your cousin's marriage will be left to you."

The prince's face was ashen: I didn't expect to come and cry, I didn't refuse the difficult task of taking care of the two little girls, and added a task of talking about marriage.

Heart Road: Am I the prince?Isn't this a nanny part-time matchmaker?

And Shang Chanchan also received an auxiliary mission from the queen mother for the marriage of Princess Lirong in advance: "The prince is a man after all, and he has to be busy with the business of comforting the sergeant."

"You should pay more attention to see which one Li Rong's child likes - the Ai family has already figured out the bottom line in advance, Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan are two good children."

Shang Chanchan nodded and accepted this glorious and arduous task.

She thought about it in her heart: if she remembered correctly, Wei Ruolan should have been Shi Xiangyun's husband in the past.It's just that the historian is running away by himself now, and Shi Xiangyun stays alone in his house in the capital, not to mention marriage, he doesn't even have a relative who walks around.

Shi Xiangyun's lifelong affairs are not on Shang Chanchan's mind, at this time Princess Lirong is the number one person she cares about.

He also shared the information about Wei Ruolan and Feng Ziying with Daiyu in advance, and discussed for a long time which of the two was better.

So when it was the right day, Shang Chanchan's mind was already full of information about Wei and Feng. As long as Princess Lirong asked, she would be able to tell the official positions of her ancestors within five generations.

In order to show the importance and rewards for the returning soldiers from Fujian, His Royal Highness prepared several glasses of wine to greet the generals.

The fifth prince then introduced to his elder brother one by one the soldiers who had been promoted from Fujian this time.

When he introduced the general on the far left, Xiao Rang smiled and said, "This is the Xu Jin I mentioned to my eldest brother in a letter."

The prince understands.

This Xu Jin is a character, he was born in the countryside, his parents died early, let alone go to school, he can't even read big characters.But this man was born to be a prodigy in combat.

The fifth prince described him in his letter: "He is seven feet long, good at arching with his shoulders crossed, and a man of food and drink. He has a strict and resolute personality and is good at serving as a soldier. Every time he goes to the altar, he will be ashamed, and his troops will be purged, and no one dares to make a fuss."

He even expressed eagerly that not only himself, but even Xie Ling valued this person very much.

So this time, he deliberately opened the back door and brought him back to the capital.

The crown prince has always been gentle and humble, and he did not show any contempt for Xu Jin, but kindly said: "Wen Jun is illiterate, so why use troops to cooperate with "Six Secret Teachings" like this." To show his praise.

At this time, Princess Lirong and Shang Chanchan looked out from inside the curtain.

It was also the first time for Shang Chanchan to see Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan in the book. She had only heard about it from Xie Ling before, and now she saw it with her own eyes.

He just nodded in his heart: "Very good, looks pass the test. It seems that Feng Ziying has a more cheerful temperament, and he is more likely to deal with Sister Lirong...but Wei Ruolan is more beautiful."

She began to worry about Princess Lirong ahead of time.

Although children make choices, adults want them all.

But this is picking a husband and son-in-law, not a carrot after all, and you have to bear the pain to give up.

After she had almost finished brainstorming a love triangle TV series, she pulled the corner of Princess Lirong's clothes: "Sister Princess, what do you think of the Feng family and..."

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly saw Princess Lirong turning her head, her eyes shining like stars: "Chanchan, I'm ready to get married."

Shang Chanchan was overjoyed after being shocked, it was as if she dozed off, someone gave Simmons.So he grabbed Princess Lirong's hand: "Which one does my sister like?"

Princess Lirong smiled: "Xu Jin."

Shang Chanchan: Huh?

After the Empress Dowager Shang took her precious grandson whom she hadn't seen for more than a year to get close, she found that Chanchan seemed to be very quiet after returning to the palace, her eyes were still a little illusory, and she seemed to be floating when she walked.

The Empress Dowager knew that Empress Xie missed her youngest son more, but it was only in the way of the palace rules of filial piety, so of course Xiao Rang had to pay his respects to the imperial grandmother first when he returned to the palace.

So the Empress Dowager Shang didn't stay any longer, and rushed Xiao Rang to see Empress Xie, and here she turned around and arrested Shang Chanchan to ask.

After listening to Shang Chanchan finished talking about today's events, the Empress Dowager Shang rarely showed a look of surprise: "Is this Xu Jin really that general who has no father and no mother and can't read?"

Seeing her niece nodding, Empress Dowager Shang felt that her temples were starting to hurt.

Sure enough, the next day, the fifth prince's joy of returning to the palace was broken by Princess Zhongyong's cry.

The gentle and loyal princess, Lihua entered the palace in the rain and sat in front of the Queen Mother to shed tears.

"Li Rong has been weird since she was a child. She doesn't like pearls and gemstones, but picks up stones on the ground to play with a slingshot."

"Who ever thought of getting married, he just ignored the prince and grandson of Manjingli and just fell in love with him..."

Princess Zhongyong cried even more sadly when she thought about what she had learned about Xu Jin's personal and family situation.

After all, Xu Jin's family has no family.

At the same time, the emperor also saw a younger brother who was crying.

As the instigator of Princess Lirong leaving the palace, the emperor was very embarrassed. Facing Prince Zhongyong's resentful eyes, he had no choice but to call the crown prince who was in charge of the care and the fifth prince who brought Xu Jin back to Beijing to scold him.

Unexpectedly, the Fifth Prince's eyes lit up as soon as he heard it: "Really? It really is Sister Li Rong, with good eyesight! Xu Jin is an excellent person!"

Prince Zhongyong almost fell down with a "gudong".

The emperor threw two eye knives at the fifth prince, but Xiao Rang has always been a fearless character, staring at his father's dragon eyes, and continued: "Xu Jin has suffered a lot since he was a child. But now he can understand general military newspapers, which shows that he is hardworking and willing to learn."

The prince looked at his father's face, wishing he could cover his brother's mouth.

However, Xiao Rang continued to say "bababa": "And he is extremely brave. He has suppressed chaos several times and cut down thieves. Anyone who is ordered to come out will succeed. He is really a rare general!"

He made a final decision: "Father, my son guarantees you that this Xu Jin was born at an untimely time. If it catches up with our Xiao family's fight against the world, the four kings and eight princes will now have an extra Xu family."

The implication is that even if it is the prince and grandson, who is better than the other? Counting down a few lifetimes, isn't it Xu Jin who was born with mud legs.

Seeing that his younger brother's words became more and more outrageous, the prince stopped quickly: "Fifth brother!"

The emperor was also annoyed, he smashed an inkstone in front of the fifth prince, and said neatly: "Get out!"

The fifth prince shrank his neck and hurried away.

After staying outside for more than a year, everyone let him go, and he was a little uncomfortable going back to Beijing all of a sudden, so he was scolded again.

Here the emperor was a little embarrassed, and comforted his younger brother, saying: "It is probably because Li Rong has never seen such a man and girl's heart, so he wants to marry a hero in anecdotes. When you go back and persuade her, it will be fine. "

Prince Zhongyong had a sallow face, and left dejectedly: "I will think of a way when I go back. It's all my fault that I doted on her before and allowed her to choose her own husband. Now that she returns to the mansion, she is absolutely determined to choose Xu Jin. I really didn't even cry." cry."

Then the small eyes aimed at the emperor again: "Brother emperor, if Li Rong begs to come to you again..."

The emperor quickly waved his hand: "Don't worry, this time it's not going out to play, I will never let her act coquettishly and follow her."

After Prince Zhongyong resigned, the crown prince watched the emperor's face turn better, and then slowly persuaded him: "Li Rong's temper is the most uncompromising, I'm afraid the emperor's uncle won't be able to hold back his cousin."

"But father, my son saw this Xu Jin with his own eyes yesterday. It's not the kind of ignorant martial artist who doesn't know how to read, but he is extraordinarily heroic and heroic."

"Father, Sister Lirong has been raised in the palace all year round. She was taught by the emperor's grandmother and her vision is higher than that of women in the world. Since she has caught her eye, it shows that this Xu Jin really has something to offer. As the saying goes, a hero doesn't ask where he came from I have another great general in my court."

The emperor pointed at him and said, "I've left Li Rong's marriage to you anyway, so don't tell me that, go tell your uncle the emperor."

Seeing his own father throwing the pot away so confidently, the crown prince could only resign himself to his fate and shut up.

Here, the fifth prince was scolded by his own father, and hid in the imperial grandmother's palace as usual as a child.Who knew that he was bumping into the loyal and brave princess who was crying with pear blossoms and rain.

Princess Zhongyong saw Xiao Rang, and hurriedly asked many things about Xu Jin, during which time her tears never stopped, making Xiao Rang cry until she was terrified.

The fifth prince finished his explanation, and while the queen mother was persuading the princess, he winked at Shang Chanchan and they both slipped away.

Originally, Shang Chanchan wanted to ask the fifth prince who came back from Fujian a lot about Xie Ling.

However, at this time, I have to wait and see.

The fifth prince also asked directly: "Chanchan, you were with your sister yesterday, you should understand best. Is she joking or is she serious?"

Shang Chanchan nodded: "Seriously."

The fifth prince smiled: "Sister Lirong and I grew up together, and I understand her best. Since she has made a decision, she will not change it. If so, I must help her achieve her wish."

Shang Chanchan's eyes suddenly appeared, that year during the Lantern Festival, Princess Lirong who rode upside down on a donkey and passed through the sound of exclamation.

She has always been a maverick daughter.

There are naturally very good young masters in Beijing, but she doesn't like them all.

Xuanwu six years, October.

The emperor named the eldest daughter of the Zhongyong Palace as Princess Mingrong, and married Xu Jin, the third-rank general Wei Lie.

Such a mismatched marriage naturally aroused a lot of discussion between the ruling and opposition parties.

On the day when the imperial decree was issued, Shang Chanchan came to the Qianqiu Pavilion after a long absence.

Princess Lirong is holding an ox horn bow, shooting a few pheasants with colorful tails released by the palace man.She turned her head to see Shang Chanchan and said with a smile, "Are you here to congratulate me?"

Shang Chanchan nodded.

Of course Princess Lirong is not someone who is willing to marry blindly. Since she caught Xu Jin at first glance, she simply dressed in the clothes of a young man to make friends with him.

At this time, her smile was as bright as the sun: "Chanchan, I used to never understand that you and Xie Ling, other people in the world, get along harmoniously. Now that it falls on me, I understand."

Shang Chanchan smiled: "It's a pity that many people don't understand."

Princess Lirong twirled the bow in his hand: "It's hard for a person to live in this life and understand what he is, so don't care what others do."

Then handed the bow to Shang Chanchan: "Do you want to try?"

Her smile is still bright and unrestrained, and her life is like her bow, firmly held in her hand.

The author has something to say: Princess Lirong is a strange woman like Hong Fu in my heart, so I gave her her own hero.

In fact, among all the people, she was the only one who lived her life wantonly with no distractions.

Compared with Shang Chanchan, who really came from a different era, Princess Lirong actually looks more like a "foreigner".

It’s also because of the timeline that I didn’t put her story in the side story, but wrote her story in the main text~ I wish every cutie a free life~
