"Yes... I will keep this in mind."

Emperor Shengce then looked at Prince Rong, who was sitting beside him: "The prince is already preparing to choose a crown princess at such an old age. What plans does Lu'er have for his marriage?"

Prince Rong has been recuperating in Beijing for many years, and his marriage has not yet been decided.

Li Lu looked a little surprised: "My nephew has no plans yet."

"But you are old enough to have a family." Emperor Shengzhen looked at him and sighed vaguely: "Your father is far away in Yizhou. If I allow you to delay like this in front of me, what will happen to me?"

How to explain to your father?"

Li Lu composed himself: "Your Majesty will make the decision."

"You are different from the prince." The Holy Emperor said warmly: "If you have a girl you like, you might as well make it clear to me. If your father agrees, then I will make the decision to marry you."

Li Lu was startled.

The girl you like?

He had a look of astonishment on his face: "My nephew has no idea..."

"Then let's try to find one or two." The Holy Emperor looked at the crown prince: "I plan to hold a flower party for the selection of the crown princess. You will also go there at that time. You can pay attention to whether there is anyone who is compatible with you at the banquet.

.”

"Yes." The ice basin on the side was a little cold. Li Lu coughed twice and then said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking care of this matter for your nephew."

Seeing that he looked weak, the Holy Emperor asked a few questions about his recent physical condition.

"It's been a bit cold in the summer, so I've had a bit of a cough recently...but it's nothing serious."

Only then did the Holy Emperor look relieved and explain a few more words before letting the palace officials send the person out of the Manna Palace.

Prince Li Zhi also resigned and left.

Looking at the bead curtain that was still gently swaying after the two people left, the Emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and his emotions were unclear.

After a while, Mingluo walked in.

"Your Majesty, the lychees sent from Lingnan have arrived and are now in the outer hall."

The Holy Emperor came to his senses for a moment, then stood up from the dragon chair and said, "I'll go take a look."

Mingluo was not surprised that she wanted to see it in person, so he stepped forward to help her.

The sage is not a person who attaches great importance to food, but every year the sage will personally select some of the lychees that come from Lingnan.

The Holy Emperor came to the outer hall, bent down slightly, and slowly picked out dozens of the most beautiful lychees from the fresh lychees, filling two boxes.

"The remaining ones should be divided among people as in previous years."

Mingluo responded: "Yes, Luo'er understands."

"These two boxes are sent to Dayun Temple and the eldest princess's mansion respectively as in previous years." Emperor Shengce told Mingluo: "Go to the eldest princess's mansion in person. At Dayun Temple, let Cui

Please come over on my behalf."

Mingluo agreed again and left the palace with the two boxes of lychees covered with ice.

"The Saint is thinking of His Royal Highness Princess Chongyue all the time." Sitting on the carriage leaving the palace, the maid beside Mingluo looked at the two boxes and couldn't help but sigh.

These are the best lychees. One box was sent to Dayun Temple to worship the goddess, and one box was sent to the residence of Princess Chongyue during her lifetime. The saint himself has never tasted one.

And it's like this every year.

Mingluo knew what the maid was thinking, and his eyes fell quietly on the two boxes.

This is not just a box given to the eldest princess.

"I heard that when envoys from Lingnan passed by Gongling Mausoleum, they would leave some lychees to offer sacrifices to His Royal Highness the late Crown Prince who was buried in Gongling Mausoleum..." the maid sighed softly.

Both of his sons and daughters have passed away long ago, so what if he becomes a saint? He is not alone yet, he can only care about those close relatives of his own flesh and blood in his heart.

"Fortunately, Princess, you are accompanying your Majesty." The maid sighed with emotion.

Mingluo raised the corner of his mouth slightly, noncommittal.

Does a saint need company?

Or it is unnecessary in the eyes of many people.

With the most supreme power in the world, would you still care about that little bit of insignificant companionship?

Sometimes she wasn't sure whether her aunt really needed it.

However, whether this nostalgia or guilt, no matter how true or false it is, it is only for the deceased.

She sometimes wonders, what would happen to her aunt if her aunt's outstanding children were still alive?

The carriage went to Xuance Mansion first.

Mingluo explained his purpose of coming, and as soon as he handed the box of lychees to Yuan Xiang, before he could say a few more words to Cui Jing, he heard that the other party said that "lychees are perishable" and immediately left for Dayun Temple.

Dayun Temple was built outside the city, a little far away, so Cui Jing asked someone to prepare a carriage and ice cubes to prevent the lychees from spoiling.

Before leaving the city, Cui Jing suddenly reined in his horse.

Yuan Xiang also hurriedly reined in his horse, subconsciously touched the sword on his waist, and looked around cautiously: "Grand Governor, is there anything strange?"

Cui Jing looked at the stall on the roadside: "Go buy some chestnuts and take them with you."

Yuan Xiang, who was pressing the knife: "?"

…

At the same moment, Jade Chip, who had taken a nap in the afternoon, faintly heard the voice of a female servant outside.

"Let's all go to the front yard. The Ming Dynasty's daughter is here."

"A History of Women in the Ming Dynasty?"

"On the order of the saint, the Ming Dynasty's female historian came to deliver this year's lychees to His Highness..."

Your Highness?

Hearing these two words, Yuchi suddenly sat up.

I just dreamed of His Highness again...

In the dream, His Highness kept asking why he didn't go to see her, why, why...

"I should explain it clearly to His Highness..."

"Someone lied to me..."

She didn't mean to harm His Highness!

Yes, as long as she explains it clearly to His Highness, His Highness will forgive her, right?

Your Highness will forgive her!

This thought, which was enough to completely save her from suffering, made Yuchi unable to care about anything else for a moment. She suddenly got out of bed, put on her shoes in a hurry, and walked out of the house quickly.

Due to Mingluo's arrival, the two female envoys who were supposed to be guarding outside went to the front yard.

She walked all the way through the garden and came to the backyard of the eldest princess's mansion, and then came to the door that she had opened many times in recent days.

After a moment's hesitation, she pulled out the latch with trembling movements and opened the door.

The golden crow heading west outside the door was emitting blazing light, causing her to subconsciously raise her hands to shield her eyes.
