Queen of Flowers

On the night of Liu Yuzhuang's visit, when Yong Ruo and Feng Liao were lying in bed, they couldn't help asking: "What are your plans for the emperor's finger marriage?"

Xiu Nu has been in the palace for more than 20 days, and the period of January will expire. She felt that the Damocles sword on her head was about to pierce her scalp, and she couldn't make a rest.

"You finally asked?" Feng Liao looked at her with bright eyes, "I thought you would never ask!"

Yong Ruo laughed bitterly, lying on the bed obliquely, with his head buried in his shoulder socket: "I also thought of not asking a question and leaving everything to you. But now, I can't help but feel like Ask ... "

Feng Liang reached out and rubbed her back of the head, and then wrapped her shoulders and necks to make her closer to herself.

"First of all, the emperor has promised that I will choose my own wife. So, as long as I pick each of these showgirls who are qualified to be the concubine, I can discuss it later." A very gentle smile appeared on his face.

Yong Ruo said quietly: "But if you don't set up the princess this time, the emperor will definitely show you a few rooms, how can you ...?"

She thought: I really can't bear to grab a man from a group of women! If you really have another woman, I will not be nostalgic again ...

Thinking that maybe soon she would have to wield the sword of wisdom and cut love. Farewell to such a good moment, her emotions quickly fell to the bottom of the valley.

A taste called despair gnawed at her heart.

There seemed to be a dull, dull pain in her heart, and her eyes rose instantly. A tide quickly permeated from her heart, and a few tears condense in her eyes.

Feng Liao, how long can I have you? She wept silently in her heart.

Feng Liang was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "I will delay for a while, then ... I will use some other means."

"What means?"

Feng Liang grabbed her arm and tightened tightly, comforting her softly: "I won't tell you this first, lest you feel uneasy."

Yong Ruo bit his lip gently and said hesitantly, "If I keep asking, will you get bored?"

Feng Liao chuckled and said, "No. I will be happy whether or not you follow up."

"why?"

"If you don't ask, it means that you believe me completely; if you ask, you show that you care about it. So I will be very happy."

After hearing this, Yong Ruo smiled inexplicably, and his irritable and depressed mood was greatly soothed.

She thought: He thinks that everything is good, it is really a rare quality between couples, and it can reduce many contradictions between each other.

"Then I won't ask!" She said with a smile, and she seemed to have a solid feeling again.

————————

The one-month deadline soon arrived. The sixth day of March is the final day of the draft.

Because of the promise to let Feng Liang choose his wife, the emperor specifically told Feng Liang to go to the final runoff. Yong Ruo was never invited to "view the ceremony," she couldn't wait.

On the day before the run-off, Feng Liang received two brochures, which recorded the behaviors of the show girls in Yuxiu Palace since this month.

One of the two booklets was sent by the Yuxiu Palace's administrative officer and is the official file of the draft; the other was sent by Xiao Guizi quietly, and Feng Liao inserted in the private of Yuxiu Palace The records are sorted as Feng Liang's personal reference materials.

Feng Liang took Yongruo and looked at the two booklets together, and found a few sharp people.

"This Zhou Mingrou is really amazing!" Feng Liao shook his head endlessly. "While making friends with An Shuqi, crowding out Liu Yuzhuang, and by the way, suppressing several other beautiful ladies, it was really a moment of leisure.

"It's just that she's holding her thigh too soon. She's so sure: must An Shuqi be a princess?"

This is a record on Feng Liao's personal information. The official information provided by Yuxiu Palace is relatively brief and does not contain these contents.

"And this one is called Xu Wan'er, but it's really impressive." Feng Liao looked at the personal reference materials in her hand and continued to spit out, "On the surface, gentle and kind, she spoke softly. But she dared to I said bad things about you in the back! But it's a real thing! Daughter of Xu Wei, Tangzhou Prefectural Government, I remember ... "

Yong Ruo laughed and said nothing.

Feng Liao continued to spit out: "My distant cousin An Shuqi is also not easy! After living in Yuxiu Palace for a month, there were about a dozen **** and followers around her. Liu Yuzhuang was almost squeezed out by them. No. If you want to talk about the party's ability, I'm afraid that no one can match the cousin Ann. "

He took the official file sent by Yuxiu Palace and looked at it with a smile: "It's all her good words! It seems that my aunt is still quite influential in the palace!"

The aunt he said was An Shuqi's maternal grandmother, Princess Grand Princess Huaiqing.

After reading the two booklets with him, Yong Ruo smiled and said, "You've been busy studying government affairs with the emperor all the time, but you still have time to plant your own staff in Yuxiu Palace, but it really surprised me."

Feng Liao smiled: "It didn't take much effort! I just ordered a few smart and quietly after the staff of the Yuxiu Palace settled down.

"Speaking of which, my identity as a prince is still a bit useful. They did not reject me and very actively completed the matter."

Yong Ruo shook his head and laughed: yes! As long as the prince is not abolished, he is the future emperor. Who will dare to refuse the things the future emperor tells? Who dares to perfuse things?

Even without Feng Liao taking the initiative to command, someone will do everything possible to please him.

The final runoff was not held in Yuxiu Palace, but in the Queen's Kunde Palace.

On the same day, Emperor Chengtai was sitting on the main seat of the main hall of Kunde Palace, Queen Wei and Feng Liang were sitting on both sides of him, and several high-ranking concubines were sitting watching the lively.

The girls who should be selected are still in the same group as the one in the check.

After watching three groups of show girls, Feng Liao kept silent, and the Emperor Chengtai couldn't help asking him: "What do Huang'er think ... the qualifications of these show girls?"

Feng Liao bowed slightly to the emperor Chengtai: "Father Emperor, sons and daughters want to judge all after reading it."

The Emperor Chengtai smiled slightly: "It's okay."

He no longer asked Feng Liao anything, but only occasionally exchanged a few words with the queen, asked about the situation of a show girl, or commented on someone's appearance.

After all the show girls have finished watching, and the irrelevant people have retreated, the emperor Chengtai asks Feng Liao: "Are there any show girls that have come into your eyes?"

Feng Liang took a breath and said respectfully to the emperor Chengtai: "The sons and daughters feel that the qualifications of these show girls are all lacking, and no one has caught the eyes of the sons and daughters."

"not a single one?"

Feng Liang said with certainty: "None."

"Is your vision too high?"

Feng Liao smiled: "The son-in-law is the prince of the emperor Qinfeng, and his vision is high. It is reasonable that the choice of the prince-concubine is related to the tranquility of the son-in-law's home and the well-being of the heir.

The Emperor Chengtai was very funny to see him cheer up. Then he asked, "What kind of woman do you think is a princess?"

"Father-in-law Kai, today's crown prince is the future queen. If there is no character, demeanor, talent, mind, and vision like the mother-in-law, how can you take this responsibility?"

Emperor Chengtai glanced at Emperor Wei with a smile, and saw Emperor Wei with a smile on his face, and then scolded Feng Liao with a smile: "You're going to make a badass!"

Feng Liao said with no change of face: "The words of the sons and daughters are not slapstick."

"Your mother-in-law's patience and vision are also slowly honed day by day. When she was young, she didn't have the enthusiasm now. If you go to your mother-in-law according to your mother-in-law's standards, I'm afraid you can only fight for a lifetime. Bachelor. "

"My sons would rather be a bachelor all my life than marry a woman who is not qualified!"

After Feng Liang showed his attitude decisively, he slowed down his tone: "As the saying goes, his wife and husband are less evil. The mother of the future should be more virtuous. Otherwise, the disaster is not only his own family, but also Woe to the whole world and future generations. "

Emperor Chengtai ticked his lips: "Too alarmist?"

"Where is the alarmist? Father, please think about it: When the emperor was first, the storm that lasted two or three decades and caused countless people to destroy the family, the initial starting point of the contradiction, wasn't it the harem women who were jealous? ? "

The Emperor Chengtai was speechless when he thought about all the things that year.

Feng Liao also said: "The emperor's grandson of the dynasty and the imperial clan's near marriage do not marry blindly and blindly like the folks, and rely on the words of matchmakers to achieve marriage. The reason why the emperor emperor set the draft is not I hope that future generations will be able to marry a daughter-in-law who has both virtue and talent? "

The emperor Chengtai frowned his beard and looked at Feng Liao with a sharp look: "If you say, you won't marry your wife this year?"

Feng Liang saluted him solemnly and said very sincerely: "Father Emperor, the sons and daughters have not yet won the championship. If there is no suitable candidate, there is no need to rush to set up a concubine. Maybe the next draft, there will be a suitable candidate. A husband and wife must live together forever, if they do not agree, they will not be able to survive forever. "

Chengtai groaned silently.

Feng Liao looked at Queen Wei and said, "Moreover, the sons and daughters have always envied the affair between the queen mother and queen. They also hope that when they get married, they would rather be short-lived, so as not to marry the wrong person and regret it for life."

Emperor Chengtai looked at Feng Liao and said with a smile, "Don't you see the trick?"

"The words of the son-in-law came from the heart, not intentional delay."

"Then you talk about: What's so bad about these showgirls this year? If it makes sense, I will allow you not to choose a princess from them."

"So many girls, where do you start?"

"First talk about your cousin Liu family! What do you think of her?" Emperor Chengtai asked casually.

Feng Liao said calmly: "Cousin Liu's family is clever, but she is not used where it should be. A few days ago, she went to the East Palace to say nothing, which made her sons and daughters very angry.

"The son-in-law thinks: Cousin Liu's family is not suitable for marrying the royal family. The father-in-law still holds her brand, and it is better for her to hire her own family to avoid complaints in the future."

Emperor Chengtai smiled: "Why on earth did she say nothing? You actually told you to sue you!"

"The little girl's insincere thoughts are hard to reach.

Emperor Chengtai shifted the topic: "What about An Shuqi? She has a good appearance and impeccable family history. Judging from the records of Yuxiu Palace, there is nothing wrong with it. Do you even see her Not on? "

"Not to mention the inconspicuous problem. Just because she is the daughter of her aunt, her sons and daughters feel that she is not suitable to be a princess."

"Why? Isn't it good to kiss and kiss?"

Feng Liang smiled slightly bitterly: "Naturally bad. The son-in-law heard that her grandmother loved her granddaughter very much. In order to cousin Ann's election, her elderly people did not send people to the palace.

"If I marry Cousin Ann, there will be a quarrel between the husband and wife, I'm afraid that my aunt and grandmother will come to justice for the granddaughter's daughter? By then, the son-in-law is afraid that the junior will not be able to deal with it! The prince of a country is also weak, and the problem is even greater. "

The Emperor Chengtai thought: Are you afraid that An Shuqi will depend on his family, so that he will be difficult for you?

It's hard for you to say that the reason is so grandiose, and you haven't brought out your pleasant person in half a word.

He was a little proud of himself: it seems that his training in the past year has been quite effective!

Feng Liao before was not as eloquent as now.
