Chapter 66 The selection of son-in-law begins

After talking, the restraint between the two became less restrained. Under the dusk, Pei Miao's eyes seemed to shine brightly.

The third prince took a deep breath and asked Pei Miao: "You know my father sent the second prince out of the palace on purpose, right?"

"know."

"Then you are not in a hurry?"

"I found that you all like to ask me this question." Pei Miao rested her chin on one hand and looked at the third prince with slightly squinted eyes. "Do you think it's useful for me to be anxious now?"

The third prince was turned into an army, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, and he smiled in relief after a long time. As Pei Miao said, it's useless for him to be anxious now. On the contrary, it's a bit stupid to ask this question by himself.

He looked back at Pei Miao and said, "I got some news from my mother and concubine that there was a civil disturbance in southern Sichuan, and the people rioted. We need people from Beijing to quell the chaos."

"Squeeze the chaos?" Pei Miao laughed angrily, "What kind of civil unrest requires a prince to quell it in person? What do the garrisons in southern Sichuan do for food? They only take their salaries and do nothing? Even if you need a prince to quell, your father will It's too obvious to let you, a young general like you, go instead of a frail scholar like your second brother, but your father probably doesn't care if his intentions are seen through, as long as he achieves his goal."

His Highness's face turned red and then turned pale. Although he wanted to complain about Pei Miao calling his second brother a "weak scholar", considering certain "real conditions", he wisely chose to shut up. Zhi, he doesn't want to be pushed off the tree by Pei Miao again.

After hesitating for a moment, the third prince murmured, "Actually, the courtiers all recommended me to go, but the father considered... so he sent the second brother. It is true that ordinary civil unrest does not need to send a prince. But this time it was not a simple civil disturbance, according to reports from officials in southern Sichuan, they found a few Beidi people during the suppression of the disturbance, and my father suspects that this civil disturbance was instigated by Beidi."

If things are really as Emperor Qinglong expected, then the civil unrest this time will not be simple.

Pei Miao frowned, with a serious face on her face: "Does Beidi still have the energy to make trouble in Dayu? Didn't it mean that they are in turmoil in the country and can't take care of themselves?"

"This is indeed true, but don't forget, Miaomiao, the expelled old national teacher from Beidi has fled to Dayu, and he has many fans around him. If he wants to take the opportunity to make trouble, we are really hard to guard against. "

Pei Miao pursed her lips, clenched her hands into fists, her nails sank into her flesh, and asked hoarsely, "Will Qi Yan be in danger?"

The third prince was silent for a moment and said: "There should be no danger, but this matter is more difficult. It may not be possible to handle it in ten days and a half months. In a few hours, you will be recruiting relatives, and the second prince has not come back. You... ..."

"He will come back," Pei Miao interrupted the third prince, as if telling him, but also as if telling himself, "He will definitely come back."

The third prince's heart sank, the light in his eyes flickered, and finally he gave a low reply.

He took a deep look at Pei Miao, as if he wanted to engrave him in his heart. After a long time, he looked away, looked at the sky in the distance, and said, "It's dawn."

In Qianqing Palace, Eunuch Fu opened the window that had been closed all night, looked into the distance and said, "Your Majesty, it's dawn."

Emperor Qinglong regained his senses, looked out of the window, and asked in a low voice, "Is Qi Yan back yet?"

Eunuch Fu's hand holding the window trembled, and immediately lowered his eyebrows, and said slowly: "Return to the emperor, the army of the Second Highness is on the way back to Beijing, and it will take two days to arrive."

"Well," Emperor Qinglong was noncommittal, stretched out his hand to let a few eunuchs dress him up, pondered for a moment and said, "The situation in southern Sichuan is complicated, I didn't expect Qi Yan to deal with it so quickly and come back."

Eunuch Fu didn't know how to respond, so he just smiled and complimented, "Your Highness is extremely capable, Your Majesty has a good vision."

Emperor Qinglong let out a "huh": "I hope he will be busy in southern Sichuan for a few more days, but fortunately he will come back too late, Fulai, do you think this is God's will?"

"..." Now Eunuch Fu really didn't know how to answer. He wanted to complain about Emperor Qinglong's so-called "God's will" but didn't dare, so he kept smirking until his face hurt.

Emperor Qinglong glanced at Eunuch Fu, and hummed: "You are also blaming me for being troublesome."

"The servant dare not."

"I see that you dare not say it, but you dare it in your heart." Emperor Qinglong was a little aggrieved, "I will fight for the last time. If I can't get what I want in the end, then I can only let go. By the way, I let you Send someone to watch Qi Yan specifically, and see if that person has sent back any news."

"Go back, he said that His Highness the Second Highness has been following the army and there has been no change."

"That's good, let him keep an eye on him, I'm afraid he'll fall for Qi Yan's tricks and be tricked by him." After getting dressed, Emperor Qinglong took a picture in front of the mirror and said, "Let's prepare for it too." Go to Zen Hall, today is a big day for Master Guoshi."

The seventh day of the seventh month happened to be the Qixi Festival, and it was also the day when Dayu Guoshi publicly selected his son-in-law.

The palace was full of joy, decorated with lanterns and festoons.

The rooster crowed three times, and the palace gate opened accordingly. Dozens of horse-drawn carriages drove slowly from the main road of the capital, and entered the palace gate under the envious eyes of everyone.

People gathered from all over the palace gathered at the gate of the palace, chattering and discussing.

"Today is the day when the National Teacher chooses his son-in-law, so excited!"

"I'm so excited too. I didn't sleep all night last night. I came here early in the morning to wait for the news. I don't know who the Master of the National Teacher will choose."

"It goes without saying that of course the Second Highness is chosen. The National Teacher and the Second Highness grew up together as childhood sweethearts. They have had a good relationship since they were young. I heard that the National Teacher went all the way to Sichuan to find the Second Highness. It's 'Looking for a Husband in a Thousand Miles' that moves the world!"

"Hey, let me say that you don't have to think too much about the previous one. Although it is obvious to all that the relationship between Master Guoshi and His Highness the Second Highness is good, the two may also be brothers."

"What kind of brotherhood? Don't deceive yourself. Brothers will often hug and show affection? Brothers will sleep together in the same bed and love each other? Let me tell you, Master Guoshi is definitely a couple with His Highness the Second Highness, and they didn't run away!"

"Don't be too stern, you will be slapped in the face if you are too stern. According to reliable sources, the Second Highness was sent by our emperor to southern Sichuan to calm the chaos, and he won't be able to come back for a while, so..."

"Damn it, won't His Highness the Second Highness be here today? What about the Master of the State? His Majesty's way of doing this is unethical. He would rather demolish ten temples than destroy one relative. His Majesty is beating mandarin ducks with a stick!"

"That's not it, so I changed the custody of the Third Highness early this morning, at least to get some money back."

"Lie on the grass, brother, be steady!"

Pei Miao got off the chariot and looked up at the palace in front of her. There were three big characters "Zen Temple" written on the board.

He raised his eyebrows and was led by Wangcai to walk in.

A group of officials were waiting outside the hall, and when they saw Pei Miao, they all bowed their heads and saluted. Pei Miao was like a proud cat, with a cold expression, her head raised and her chest high, and she walked into the hall step by step.

Wangcai reminded in a low voice: "Master, be careful where you step, there are steps here, don't step on the hem of your clothes."

"After you go in later, sit on the upper seat. That one is separated by a curtain, so you don't have to be too restrained."

"Those lords and princes will show their strengths to win your attention. If you are interested in any one, hand him the jade lottery in your hand. Don't be afraid to hand over too much. Anyway, there will be a second round of selection."

"Well," Pei Miao walked forward without looking sideways, and when he was about to reach the entrance of Zen Hall, he paused and asked, "Has the Second Highness returned to the palace?"

Wangcai didn't react for a while, he hesitated for a moment before replying: "Not yet."

"Got it." Pei Miao's expression remained unchanged, but Wangcai could clearly see that his eyes had dimmed.

Even if he kept saying that he was not in a hurry, how could he really not be in a hurry.

"My lord is here." With the shout of the young eunuch guarding the gate, the hall of Zeen fell silent instantly.

Accompanied by Wangcai, Pei Miao walked in step by step.

He has deliberately dressed up today, his dark black hair is tied up and buckled into a finely carved jade crown, two strands of hair hang down from his ear temples, making his face like a jade crown and his color like the dawn of spring .

A pair of almond eyes are bright and moist, as if filled with a layer of water vapor, long eyebrows fly into the temples slantingly, and the look is full of energy, with a romantic charm, a natural smiling lip, and the upturned corners of the mouth can easily make people addicted.

He is wearing white clothes, although the layers are complicated and abnormal, but it is not bulky. The lapels, cuffs, belt and chin are all embroidered with golden dark patterns. When he moves, the clothes are fluttering, as if he has become a fairy, and the golden dark patterns are shining in the sun. The radiance and brilliance made him look so beautiful that he was not like ordinary people.

Until Pei Miao sat down in the upper position and the curtain cut off everyone's sight, a group of princes and grandchildren still couldn't come to their senses and looked at the figure behind the curtain in a daze. Only the eldest prince snorted lightly, with some disdain on his face.

The third prince happened to be sitting next to him. Seeing this, his face was a little displeased, but he didn't say anything. He didn't want to cause trouble on such an occasion. The fourth prince next to him had amazement in his eyes, and looked in Pei Miao's direction and said stupidly: "Master Guoshi is really good-looking."

He is not yet ten years old, and he is here today to play soy sauce. Although his mother and concubine have been asking him to work hard to marry Mr. Guoshi, he knows that this is impossible.

Let's not talk about his powerful competitors, let's talk about the fact that Master Guoshi likes his second brother, and he also knows that he is not good at singing.

But even so, it does not prevent him from secretly admiring Master Guoshi.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a discordant voice came from around him. The eldest prince smiled maliciously, and approached him and said, "What's the use of being good-looking? He doesn't belong to you either. Why should Fourth Emperor come here?" ask for contempt."

"You..." The fourth prince was still a child after all, his eyes were almost red when he was teased by the eldest prince, and he was stopped when he was about to argue.

The third prince said calmly with a cold face: "Brother Dahuang, you are here too, what's wrong with the fourth brother sitting here, this hall can remember that the bets placed outside the palace by the fourth brother are much higher than that of the elder brother. "

As soon as the words came out, the fourth prince was proud, and the eldest prince's face turned dark. He flicked his sleeves and said, "What do those foolish people know? What's more, this palace is just here today to watch the fun, and I'm not interested in treating our National Normal University People who marry back home are not like some people who know that there is no hope but still have unrealistic fantasies."

Speaking of which, the eldest prince laughed, and then said leisurely: "I heard that the second emperor's younger brother is the most popular candidate, but after looking at it, he didn't come today. Did he give up or can't come back?"

The three words "I can't come back" made the third prince angry in an instant, and he suppressed his anger and said: "Brother Emperor, be careful with your words, lest disaster come out of your mouth and you are sent to guard the imperial tomb."

The third prince deliberately emphasized the words "guarding the emperor's mausoleum". Sure enough, the eldest prince's face became brilliant. He gritted his teeth and said, "This hall is a slip of the tongue. In fact, this hall hopes that the second prince can catch up. Some people's thoughts."

The eldest prince's words are all sincere. Once Gu Qiyan is elected, it means that he has gone to compete for the throne, and he has one less competitor. However, according to the current situation, Gu Qiyan should not be able to come back. .

It's just that he missed a plan. He didn't expect that his father didn't send Gu Qiming to quell the chaos, but instead sent Gu Qiyan, and he didn't let him die in southern Sichuan.

The author has something to say: Seeing that you are all saying that Wangwang has become a genius, then I will tell you the truth. Yesterday, Wangwang didn’t know what happened. He ate cat food crazily and ended up throwing himself up. I've been listless all day today... This is the first time he's fed himself up in such a big age, the longer he grows, the more he goes back, he's stupid
