then Li Sao

The notebook sent by the Ministry of Rituals was thrown on the ground by Zhou Heng. On the spread paper, the birthday horoscope, Na Cai preparations, etc. circled by the ink pen could be vaguely seen. It was originally a joyful notebook, but at this time it became the culprit who angered Longyan culprit.

Zhou Heng said: "Luo Qing, why do you want to persuade me to get married? The foreign troubles are not over yet, and you want to add new internal troubles! Li Zongzheng's younger sister is nothing more than Dong Taishi's granddaughter? Dong Taishi belongs to King Ning! Why should I take his granddaughter? After marrying into the palace, you still want to make her the queen?!"

Luo Ping sighed, and picked up the folder on the ground: "Your Majesty, I have told you that as a king, you must understand the way of checks and balances. Your Majesty's wedding is held at a time when you and King Ning are facing each other, and it is to ease the situation. This time, one empress and one concubine must be canonized, so as to block the public's mouth and stabilize the court, otherwise King Ning's faction will definitely not let it go."

"I don't want to marry! I don't want to marry any of them!" Zhou Heng said angrily, "It's not enough for the palace to intrigue every day, why should we use women to control me in the next court!"

"His Majesty……"

"I'm only 15 years old, what are you doing in such a hurry to get married! Look at what's written in these papers! It's so annoying! Rather than letting so many useless women into the palace, I'd rather let you, Luo Qing, come into the palace." Stay with me!"

With Zhou Heng's brows upright, he really looks like Xiaotang who has become wayward.

Luo Ping couldn't help laughing: "Your Majesty is joking."

Zhou Heng said: "I'm not in the mood to joke!"

Luo Ping was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that Zhou Heng was really angry, his eye circles were a little red, and he couldn't help but said seriously: "I know that Your Majesty is uncomfortable, but please be careful with your words."

Zhou Heng glanced at him and calmed down a little.The serious Luo Ping always gave him a sense of awe.

Luo Ping said: "King Ning tried every means to send the daughter of Fengtian Fuyin into the palace. The intention is far-reaching, and it is indeed necessary to guard against it, but at the same time, His Majesty can also use it in reverse. In fact, it is emotional and reasonable. , nothing wrong, His Majesty can wait until she enters the palace to make a decision."

"But marrying a woman I don't know at all, who watches over me everywhere, and pretends to be close to each other day and night... I am a dignified emperor, can't I even choose someone I like to be the queen?"

Luo Ping pondered and said: "From my point of view, His Majesty's statement doesn't seem to be worrying about the impact of the big marriage on the government, but more worried about how to be a husband."

Zhou Heng's eyes widened: "There is no such thing!"

Luo Ping smiled: "Or, does His Majesty have someone he likes?"

Zhou Heng's face flushed suddenly, and he stuttered a little: "No, no..."

"The minister thought that it was time for His Majesty to marry two beautiful wives. Emperor Taizu already had a princess at your age. As for the person he likes... After the big wedding, soon after the wedding, the draft girl will enter the palace. Your Majesty always I will meet someone who suits my heart. But I want to remind your majesty, the king's love..." At this point, he suddenly felt panicked, and he paused before saying, "The king's love should not be devoted or long-lasting."

"Why?"

"In that case...it's too much work. The king's heart is to hold the country, the country and the common people, and it's only tied to one person, which is not conducive to the security of the government, nor is it conducive to the succession of the heirs."

"Luo Qing, your views have always been very reasonable, but I can't agree with this point." Zhou Heng said, "The emperor said that an emperor who can't make himself happy is the most failed emperor. I think, the king's There is always a place in my heart, which has nothing to do with anything else, just put in someone who I can treat with sincerity, just put that person there quietly, and I feel happy."

"..." Luo Ping was stunned, and smiled gently, "Your Majesty is right. Since Your Majesty can think clearly, please don't embarrass the Ministry of Rites for the big wedding. I also wish Your Majesty an early date Find someone you like."

Zhou Heng tugged at the brocade robe, looked at Luo Ping who was bowing and retreating, and opened his mouth several times, but he didn't know what else he wanted to say.

The emperor finally stopped talking about the wedding ceremony, and the Minister of Rites was greatly relieved. He met Luo Ping and thanked him repeatedly: "Lord Luo, you are the only one who can manage the emperor's temper. This time, it is also thanks to you."

Don't look at this Luo Ping's official position is not big, he is the one who can speak most in front of the emperor, so they have to put down their airs and talk in front of him, who dares to offend the big red man of Sheng Chong Zhenglong?

Luo Ping replied: "Master Shangshu is serious. The emperor is still young, and he is very unfamiliar with the matter of setting up a concubine. Just explain it to him in detail. The emperor is smart and reasonable, and will not make things difficult for you."

Wang Shangshuxin said that this matter has been going on for more than half a month, isn't the emperor embarrassing him enough?He promised: "Master Luo is right, if the emperor has any instructions, please bear with me."

"I understand, Lord Shangshu, please rest assured."

The official has been working for a long time, and the words in those scenes have become more and more slippery. After Luo Ping circled among the officials, he bumped into King Ning's car on the way back to the Secretary of General Affairs.

King Ning lifted the curtain and glanced at him, Luo Ping bowed his head and retreated.

King Ning snorted coldly, "Yanshi Meixing", and there was no more to say.

Recently, no matter in private or in court, King Ning would not have a good face when he saw him. The evaluation of "Yanshi Meixing" was not made by Ning Wang alone.

Luo Ping watched the carriage go away, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

Yanshimei OK?How can he deserve these four words? It's really flattering him.

Grand Master Dong's granddaughter Dong Yunxi, and Li Zongzheng's younger sister Li Mengyao, these are the two women he will marry tomorrow.

Zhou Heng put the two Geng posts in front of him, the one with the bright red background was Dong Yunxi, and the one with the dark red background was Li Mengyao. The gilded characters tied the fate of the two girls with him.

"Luo Qing, I've asked the Ministry of Rites to arrange for you to be in Concubine Yao's wedding party. You and Li Zongzheng have always been on good terms, so don't neglect her."

"The minister obeys the order."

"Also, after you welcome Concubine Yao into Zichen Palace, don't leave the palace for the time being. When I go to Feili Palace to meet the queen, I will go to Zhenyang Palace to find you."

"Festival night in the bridal chamber... what does your Majesty mean by this?"

"I don't have any affection at all. What kind of room is the hole? Maybe you will be an ugly monster when you lift the hijab!" Zhou Tang said angrily, "Prince Ning sent this woman here, and he probably wants her to give me a child. He can't take me. Zheng, who can kill me and take care of my son, I will never let him succeed."

Luo Ping smiled: "Your Majesty, don't think so much for the time being, the only thing you have to do now is not to miss Chunxiao. Even if the queen is ugly, isn't there still Yao Guifei? I have seen Mengyao before, she is soft and has aura Miss. Your Majesty does not need to waste that good time in the Zhenyang Hall."

"I would like to chat with you."

"His Majesty……"

"In short, you just wait for me in the Zhenyang Hall, no one will interrogate you. It's just this night, I really don't want to stay in the bridal chamber, just talk to me."

"Your Majesty is serious?"

"of course."

Luo Ping suppressed his smile: "Your Majesty is newly married, how can a subject stay overnight, there is no reason for that."

Zhou Heng raised his eyebrows: "Are you trying to resist the order?"

...Luo Ping had a headache.

At this time, he finally realized that something was wrong. It seemed that he had underestimated the little emperor's trust in him.

He is an imperial official, chatting with the emperor all night on the emperor's wedding night?

What is this called!

On the day of the wedding, Luo Ping went to the Li Mansion with the welcoming team.

The empress's place was much bigger than here, but this team was full of the little emperor's confidantes, and most of them had some personal relationship with Li Zongzheng, so it seemed more friendly and festive.

The red soft sedan was lifted out.

Luo Ping looked around, and the figure of Ping Ting beside the soft sedan stopped his eyes.

He never thought that he would meet her at such a coincidental time.

The man obviously saw him too, and after being slightly startled, he smiled sweetly.

——Zhou Yan, that is Princess Zhaorong who is married.

Luo Ping bowed his head and smiled.

In the memory of the two lifetimes, it seems that only this girl's smile remains the same.Always a little cramped, a little playful, and a little royal arrogance.

She is the person Luo Ping first fell in love with and also the first person he lost.

In the last life, I felt that there was no destiny, but for some reason, now that I think about it, only the beautiful part remains.

Princess Zhaorong came to his side, her face was made beautiful and dignified by her fine clothes, and her childishness faded away.A strand of her rolled-up hair fell down, hanging by her ear, and the corners of her slightly raised mouth were curled up.

"Luoping?"

"Luo Ping has met Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Well, excuse me." Zhou Yan looked at him and said suddenly, "I ask you, the strange woman you mentioned, who said she danced better than me, when will I see her? My princess To this day, I still hold it in my heart, and I really want to compete with her."

She spoke half-truths, and Luo Ping answered half-truths: "I hope Her Royal Highness will not meet her, but Luo Ping hopes that the song "Luo Huang" will never appear in this world again."

Zhou Yan looked at him from the corner of her eyes, shook her head and smiled and said, "Okay, I'll catch up with you later, my little nephew's marriage is important, so don't miss the auspicious time."

The palace was lively for half the night, and the red paper-cut lanterns enveloped the whole palace in festive atmosphere.

Luo Ping did not dare to resist the decree, and after welcoming Concubine Yao, led by the eunuchs, he went to the Zhenyang Hall, took a book in his hands, and quietly waited for the little emperor who suffered from newlywed depression.

In the middle of the night, Zhou Heng really appeared in the Zhenyang Hall.

He stepped into the hall and frowned: "Why have the lights here been replaced with red candles? It's really annoying."

Luo Ping looked at him helplessly: "I was afraid that the flowers would fall asleep late at night, so I burned tall candles to illuminate the red makeup. Your Majesty left the two beautiful wives alone and ignored them. I really... don't understand the style."

Zhou Heng curled his lips indifferently, glanced at the book in Luo Ping's hand, and asked in surprise, "Does Luo Qing also read Mr. Xu's novels?"

"Turn it all over, just take a look."

"Oh."

Zhou Heng's face was a little flushed, and it seemed that he drank too much of the Hebei wine as the wine for relieving sorrow.

He was very sleepy, his upper and lower eyelids were fighting, he stared at Luo Ping blankly, and said some nonsensical words.

"I've also read Mr. Xu's novels. In it, people who like each other seem to be accompanied by life and death. Luo Qing, is there really such a passionate love in this world, can it even cost your life?"

"Those are just stories." Luo Ping said, "Even if life and death go hand in hand, it may not be complete."

"Then, Luo Qing, do you have someone you like?"

"..." Luo Ping looked at the little emperor who was straining his eyelids. He looked like he was not enlightened, and couldn't help smiling, "Yes, I have someone I like."

"What kind of person is that?"

"He is a willful and rogue person, but sometimes he is very obedient and gentle."

"Oh, why didn't I see you with her?"

"That person is far away..."

……

After Zhou Heng fell asleep, Luo Ping called the eunuch and sent him back to Chaoyang Palace.

At dawn in the east, he came out from the side gate of the palace and returned to his home to catch up on sleep, thinking about two things in his mind.

One is that Mr. Xu's novels are really harmful, even the Ninth Five-Year Supreme has been poisoned.Second, time flies so fast, the princess married the emperor, and in a blink of an eye, so many things changed.

Zhou Tang, who was far away in the north, frowned and pondered for a long time when he received the news of the little emperor's wedding.

Fang Jin asked: "What is the general thinking? Are you worried that King Ning has other plans?"

Zhou Tang said distressedly: "I'm thinking, how to marry the young lady into the family."

"...General, please think about how to respond to King Ning's invitation."
