i want to marry a princess

Ling Qi was out of Beijing for a few days and when he returned home, he couldn't wait to find his grandfather, Old General Ling.

"Grandfather, did the eldest princess agree?"

Old General Ling sighed, he thought that this busy princess would agree to be a matchmaker no matter what.

Ling Qi's bright eyes sank, his expression hard to hide his sadness.He knew that Princess Danyang was on good terms with Second Miss Ren, if the Eldest Princess was unwilling, did it mean that Second Miss Ren was unwilling?

What Ling Qi can think of, old general Ling has lived his whole life, can't he understand?It can be seen that it is rare for the grandson to like a woman. In order not to disappoint Ling Qi, and to carry on the family lineage of the Ling family, the words that Old General Ling was about to utter changed to, "You think badly, the eldest princess does not disagree, but thinks that the second lady Ren also agrees." A man with a miserable life, I hope that the emperor can bestow a marriage to show the importance he attaches to Second Miss Ren and add honor."

Sure enough, Ling Qi immediately became happy after hearing this, but the next moment he was a bit tangled, and said: "But grandson has no merit to invite at this time, how can he ask the emperor to marry him?"

Old General Ling patted his grandson on the shoulder and said, "You didn't, didn't I? Neither did your dead parents? But the imperial examination is about to be held, and the emperor must be busy with his affairs. After the imperial examination, I will personally ask the emperor for an order , I beg the emperor to grant you a marriage!"

When Ling Qi thought that Ren Suyi would become his wife, he was overjoyed.

"The grandson will thank his grandfather!"

Old General Ling sighed in his heart, the longer people live, the more paranoid they become.He is also not sure whether he will promote a good relationship or a bad relationship in the future.

In the palace, Sima Yi got off the morning and hurried back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Just as he changed into casual clothes and went out, he ran into Concubine Xiao who came with snacks.

Xiao Bingning has a lonely personality, and she didn't want to enter the palace at first, but after entering the palace, she found that Sima Yigui was an emperor, but he rarely loved poetry, and was gentle, and he was even more gentle and loving to her, making her fall in love with this man little by little.

Seeing that Sima Yi was wearing casual clothes, she couldn't help asking: "Is Your Majesty going out of the palace?"

Sima Yi nodded, "The imperial examination is coming soon. I heard that the Gongsheng students gathered in the city held a poetry meeting, so I decided to go and see it."

Xiao Bingning loved poetry and songs before she left the pavilion, and she also became interested when she heard that there was a poetry meeting, "Can your majesty take your ministers and concubines out of the palace together?"

Sima Yi knew Xiao Bingning's hobbies, but today he made an appointment with Guo Chan, and said: "There are men everywhere in the poetry fair, and it is not convenient for my concubine to go. Why don't you wait for me to write down good sentences and come back and talk to my concubine?" .”

Xiao Bingning actually knew that there were so many restrictions on concubines going out of the palace, but she felt like honey had been poured into her heart in exchange for Sima Yi treating her with such care.

"The concubine thanked His Majesty in advance. Your Majesty must pay attention to safety when leaving the palace, and return to the palace as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, Concubine Ai, I understand."

Xiao Bingning blushed slightly, and bent her knees to send Sima Yi away.

On the way back to the palace, Xiao Bingning and the maid met the maids in the queen's palace. It turned out that the queen invited the concubines to enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden.

When Xiao Bingning arrived at the Royal Garden, she happened to meet Zhao Zhaoyi, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, they entered the Royal Garden one after the other.

Speaking of Zhao Zhaoyi, Xiao Bingning felt that she couldn't understand this woman.She entered the palace on the same day as Zhao Zhaoyi, and she heard from the ladies in private that Zhao Zhaoyi missed His Majesty's blessing because of the arrival of sunflower water, and since newcomers continued, Zhao Zhaoyi became a high-ranking palace but had not yet been blessed. concubine.But I heard that Zhao Zhaoyi practiced calligraphy and painting every day, and lived a free life.

In the imperial garden, Xiao Bingning saw Empress Zhang sitting in the middle almost at first sight. She was dressed in a splendid phoenix robe, showing her unique status in the harem.

Xiao Bingning glanced at her palace skirt subconsciously, no matter how gorgeous it was, it lacked a bit of dignity.Because the Queen is the only person around His Majesty.Although Empress Zhang is nearly ten years older than their group of show girls, and her daily dress is more mature and stable, she does not look as beautiful as young women, but Empress Zhang has the respect of the emperor, which will allow Empress Zhang to gain a firm foothold in the harem.

Zhao Laiyi found Xiao Bingning's eyes and knew what she was thinking. Empress Zhang is the emperor's first wife, and the relationship they have had for many years cannot be shaken by a few words or certain things.But it is a pity that Empress Zhang has had nothing to do for many years, no matter how stable the empress is without the prince, it will be useless in the end.

"The two younger sisters are here." With a decent smile, Queen Zhang ordered the maid to prepare the table.

Xiao Bingning took her seat with a smile, and said lightly: "I went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation earlier, so I came late."

Zhao Laiyi did not speak.

When Xiao Bingning said this, many people looked at her.She continued unhurriedly: "It's a pity that His Majesty is going out of the palace to watch this year's poetry meeting, otherwise, you can enjoy the flowers with all the sisters."

At this time, Concubine Hui, who was sitting in front of Xiao Bingning, said: "I heard that my sister likes to read poems, why don't you let His Majesty take you to see the fun together."

Concubine Hui can also speak in this palace, because she gave birth to the emperor's only child, Princess Jingxiu, who is almost three years old.

Xiao Bingning smiled, with shyness on her face, "The poetry clubs are all men, so how can your majesty take me with you. But your majesty also said that he can write good poems, so tell me after you return to the palace."

Some people couldn't hide their disappointment when they heard this, and some couldn't help being jealous, but the only ones whose expressions remained unchanged from the beginning to the end were Queen Zhang, Concubine Hui, Concubine He, and Zhao Laiyi.

Concubine Hui smiled and said: "Sister is really lucky, to be so favored by His Majesty, it doesn't matter if she can't leave the palace."

Xiao Bingning didn't answer, but by default, she agreed with Concubine Hui's words.But she forgot that there is no reason why there are no flowers in this palace.

Empress Zhang gave Concubine Hui an angry look at this time, "I think it's Concubine Hui, you want to go out of the palace to play secretly, and you are here to tease your sister Xiao. It is not for fun to call the Danyang princess who has learned a lot to accompany me."

Zhao Laiyi glanced at Queen Zhang, and then at Xiao Bingning.What Empress Zhang said was really good. She was saying that the emperor did not take Xiao Bingning out of the palace because of official business, but secretly she was just mocking Xiao Bingning for not being as favored by Princess Danyang.Not only that, Empress Zhang also let everyone see that it is not important that the emperor does not take the empress out of the palace, what is important is that the emperor respects the empress and informs the itinerary.

But Xiao Bingning is not a vegetarian either, no matter how angry she is at being put on face, she still appears calm on the surface.

The women in the harem gathered together, talking honey and swords, gods fighting, soldiers giving way, low-ranking ones not high-level interjection, just guarding the flowers in front of them with peace of mind.And the few people at the table, you come and go, seem to be a group of harmony, who knows who will lose the wind today.

Finally, Empress Zhang left first because of palace affairs, and the flower viewing banquet ended.

It was only after Ren Suyao entered the palace that he truly understood the truth of loneliness in the deep wall.She is too low-ranked to be the head of the first palace, but fortunately, there is no main concubine in her palace. There is also a talented man living with her in the first palace, and Lin Meiren, who are not troublemakers. The status is the highest, and now I am living comfortably.

Wu Shanshan stopped Ren Suyao from behind.

"Ren Jieyu wait a minute."

Wu Shanshan was also selected into the palace, but she was only a fourth-class Baolin, and she hadn't seen the emperor yet.Because the two knew each other outside the palace, they kept in touch after entering the palace.

"It turned out to be Wu Baolin, why don't you go to my palace and sit down. I got a new tea a while ago, so I just have a chance to taste it."

Ren Suyao lived in the side hall of Yufu Palace, but it was enough to make Wu Shanshan envious.

Without outsiders, Wu Shanshan called Ren Suyao "Sister Ren."

"Sister sit down, I'll get someone to make tea." Ren Suyao realized that she was alone after entering the palace, and this was also the relationship between her and Wu Shanshan.

The two sat together, Wu Shanshan drank tea and hadn't seen His Majesty in the palace for many days, she couldn't help feeling sad: "Sister Ren, now I know that favor is the most important thing in this palace. Look at that girl He Cai , isn't it just because he can dance swords that he has won His Majesty's favor, showing off his power in our palace, so as to create awe-inspiring prestige."

Ren Suyao, who Wu Shanshan was talking about, had also heard about the girl He Cai, who was originally a court lady at the racecourse, and was favored by the emperor as Cai Nu because she could dance swords and drive horses.

Ren Suyao advised her, "Why do you have the same knowledge as that kind of person, but you are just a servant, how can you compare with you."

Wu Shanshan was at a loss, "I'm not your younger sister. My father's ability is highly valued by His Majesty, and I'm not like my younger sister who is charming and charming and knows how to please His Majesty. In this way, after many years, I'm afraid there will be no day of success."

In fact, Ren Suyao herself has never been at a loss, but as Wu Shanshan said, she still has a family.She will never forget the page before entering the palace, when her father locked her in the ancestral hall and asked her to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, because it is most taboo in the palace to show her sharpness, she just needs to do her part, the emperor will not treat her badly.

At that time, she was thinking of quitting. It turned out that her father wanted more than she thought, but the arrow was on the line. If she disrupted the plan, she would definitely be regarded as an abandoned son by her father.

These days, Ren Suyao would sometimes ask herself, if Ren Suyi entered the palace, would she not rely on her father for everything like herself.

"Sister Wu, in the palace, opportunities may come your way someday, but everything needs careful planning."

When Wu Shanshan heard this, she laughed that she was older than Ren Suyao, and not as calm as Ren Suyao.How long has she been in the palace, there will always be opportunities.

"Sister Ren is right, I am too persistent."

"It's fine if you want to understand. Besides, you and my sisters have always had a good relationship, and we should support each other in the palace so that we can go further."

Ren Suyao put her exquisitely trimmed hands on Wu Shanshan's, with kindness in her eyes.

Wu Shanshan knew that there were always factions in the palace. When she first entered the palace, others might look down on her. Now that Ren's mansion is booming, she might as well follow Ren Suyao, maybe she will have a bright future in the future.

Wanting to understand this, Wu Shanshan put down the teacup in her hand and bowed down at Ren Suyao's feet.

"Shanshan is willing to do a dog's work for the empress, and I hope that the empress will not dislike it."

Ren Suyao pulled him up, and said earnestly: "Sister, what are you talking about? In the future, you and my sister will support each other in the palace, and don't teach others to bully you."
