"Your Majesty, my beloved daughter is still young, so I am not ready to make a promise to her now." Is Ren your son? I really think that my son is a piece of cake. Luo Guogong is not satisfied with his heart, so he almost puts his dissatisfaction on it.
on the face.
"Most of these people favor sons over daughters, but it seems that Luo Aiqing is a daughter-in-law. After all, she is the only daughter in the family."
The emperor's incomprehensible words made Luo Guogong worried. He did not think that the king of a country would say nonsense for no reason. He was a military commander, but not a reckless man, and he also had the reputation of being a Jinshi.
"Reporting to your Majesty, I do not favor boys over girls. I am just my beloved daughter. She is young and frail, so naturally she will love her more." Which of his children does he not love? Each one of them is dear to his heart.
of meat.
"Oh, that's it. No wonder I don't see the beloved daughter of Aiqing's family at every banquet."
"My beloved daughter has been frail since she was a child, and she still has to thank the emperor for showing sympathy to me."
Duke Luo Guo spoke to the minister's beloved daughter, and when he heard the words, blue veins appeared on the emperor's forehead.
"But your beloved daughter should be 13 or 14, right? She will be haircut in two years."
As soon as the emperor's words came out, Duke Guo knew that someone must have turned a deaf ear to the emperor's ears. Otherwise, where would the king of a country have the time to investigate a little girl from a minister's family?
As soon as the emperor said these words, Luo Guogong didn't know what to say. His daughter was indeed 13 years old. If he denied it, that would be deceiving the emperor. But he really didn't want his daughter to marry so early, let alone marry into the royal family.
, this is not a reward, it is clearly a punishment.
It's not that he looks down on Xiao Mubai, he is very optimistic about young talents who have both political integrity and talent, a graceful demeanor, a strong sense of righteousness, brains and martial arts, and a talented appearance.
But things are different now. As a healthy person before, he didn't want his daughter to marry because Xiao Mubai was born in the royal family. Now he doesn't want his daughter to have anything to do with the royal family and Xiao Mubai.
, the emperor is suppressing them both. If the emperor insists on doing this, he would rather hand over his military power and become a farmer than let his daughter suffer like this.
He is loyal! He is loyal to the people, not the royal family.
He is not a foolish person.
He can be selfless for the country, but he will not be selfless at the expense of his family.
"Reporting to your Majesty, my daughter is indeed 13 years old."
"Ai Qing is really blessed! All of her sons are brave and good at fighting. Although Ai Qing's daughter has not been seen, one can imagine how beautiful the girls in the family are from the looks of Ai Qing and his wife. Although she has
He is ill, but he is still young and can be taken care of."
"I am afraid, the dog can only get by a little, but I dare not use the metaphor of dragon and phoenix among men." This can be said in other places, but in front of the emperor, you cannot use the metaphor of dragon and phoenix among men. Even if the emperor said it himself, he would have to hurry up.
A bit self-deprecating.
"Okay, don't be self-effacing. Take these back and give the child some good health. Step back!"
The emperor waved his hand and signaled the eunuch next to him to give the things to Luo Guogong. Luo Guogong was still worried about it. He looked at the Ganoderma lucidum, snow lotus and ginseng in his hand, and there was no joy in his eyes. Not to mention that he was not lacking, but he was lacking.
He didn't want to be given the gift by the emperor like this. Now he just hoped that the emperor could put this matter down a little and let him think of a solution. If it didn't work, he sent his daughter away, far away, and asked his sons to follow him.
to take care of.
When Luo Guogong exited the hall, a swaying beauty walked out of the inner room. She fell softly on the emperor's lap, stretched out her jade hands to draw circles on the emperor's chest, her charming eyes were silky and her pink cheeks were full of fat.
"Your Majesty, I don't understand." Xiao Mubai's legs were disabled. Wouldn't it be a chance for him to turn around if there was a favorable Yue family? It was not easy to bring him down from the altar, but she was unwilling to do so and did not dare to speak out openly.
"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics." The emperor said in a cold voice. It was two different things for him to take the initiative to tell others and for others to come to him when asked.
A "plop" sound!
The delicate beauty slipped to the ground, her gorgeous dress clinging to her body, and her beauty was looming as she knelt on her knees.
"Your Majesty, I have no intention of doing this. Please forgive me for the many years I have served you."
This woman is the concubine Leng who is the favorite in the harem. She is 40 years old, but she has a graceful figure like a girl and a face like an angel.
"As for people...just remember the rules." The emperor was condescending.
"I thank you, Your Majesty." The imperial concubine raised her watery eyes, knowing that the Emperor had let her go.
The emperor was so weak by this look that he patted his dragon's leg. Concubine Leng sat softly on the dragon's leg with a wink. When she was happy with the service, the emperor took the initiative to tell Concubine Leng. After hearing this, Concubine Leng said,
In my heart, I secretly called the emperor a treacherous and cunning person.
This is to put Luo Guogong on the fire. Luo Guogong agrees to marry his daughter to Xiao Mubai, which will make the emperor jealous. If Luo Guogong refuses and does not want to marry his daughter to Xiao Mubai, then the emperor will
You would think that Duke Luo Guo has two minds and doesn't even like the prince, so what do you like?
The only thing that could stop the emperor from staring at them was if Luo Guogong agreed to marry his daughter to that good-for-nothing Xiao Mubai and then hand over military power.
The emperor really killed three birds with one stone!
Not only did they eliminate the highly accomplished Duke Luo Guogong and Xiao Mubai, but they also took back their military power.
She was thinking this now, but she couldn't say it anymore. Besides, what the emperor did really pleased her so much. The son born of a humble maid actually had a higher reputation than her son, and even surpassed her at one time.
It has to be said that the current emperor, not to mention other princes, is unmatched, and his prestige in the military is even greater than that of the emperor sitting on this high seat. If not him, who will do it?
"Your Majesty, you are so wise. We, Beixuan, have such a wise king like you, why should we not be prosperous and strong? Our Beixuan has strong soldiers and horses, vast land, a prosperous country, and people living and working in peace and contentment. You will definitely be famous throughout the ages."
"Hahaha, my beloved concubine is the one who can talk."
"But I'm afraid that Duke Luo and others will come up with other ideas. Because Duke Luo loves his daughter, he may not necessarily want to marry his daughter to the Ninth Prince. In addition, the Ninth Prince looks like this now, which makes people even more worried."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The emperor thought deeply and felt that Concubine Leng was right.
"I understand. You can go back. I will go to your place in the evening."
"Yes, I'm resigning. I'm waiting for you, Your Majesty!" The imperial concubine said with charming eyes, twisted her waist and left in a very good mood. After all, from now on, Xiao Mubai, that good-for-nothing, will never stand up again.
Not to mention having to marry a sickly princess that he doesn't like, and it will be difficult for him to have children in the future.
Oh my god, if I think so, God is really helping me!
…
As soon as Luo Jingyao returned to the house, she quickly changed her clothes, opened the door and walked out. If she didn't go out, she would arouse suspicion.
The moment he went out, the energy in his body seemed to be drained instantly, making him weak and lovable.
"Miss, are you feeling better?" Gu Yu sat up from the ground and looked at Luo Jingyao nervously and asked. His eyes went up and down, carefully observing Luo Jingyao, fearing that his young lady was not feeling well.
I don't speak out because I'm afraid my family will worry.
In the eyes of Guyu and the other maids, Luo Jingyao was just a porcelain doll and had to be held and protected with great care.
"It's much better, let's go see my mother." I don't know how angry my mother made the people in the west courtyard.
Luo Jingyao was a little gloating.
"Madam is taking care of the account books. Several young masters came over to ask me if I had seen anyone and if the young lady was okay. I told you that the young masters even looked at me from the window before I believed you." Gu Yu carefully supported Luo Jingyao and said.
With.
Luo Jingyao stiffened suddenly, she was careless. Her brothers were not there before, but now it is different. Her Lanyue Residence is in the middle of their brothers' residences. Fortunately, she covered her with a pillow just in case.
clothes.
I really wanted to pat my chest, but the two maids on the left and right were holding me and they didn’t have the hands to do so.
When she had the opportunity to reveal it to her brothers, so as not to frighten them, but what excuse would she use? By the way! She could only use her talent to silence everyone.
He moved his fingers secretly, and then tapped lightly on the back of his hand.
Dashu and Xiaoshu looked at it carefully, nodded slightly, and then disappeared.
Luo Jingyao breathed a sigh of relief and put a few more books under the bed.
"Is my little sister feeling well?" Luo Jingkong took two steps forward and looked at her carefully. Looking at her little sister's pale face, she felt angry and worried in her heart. She blamed it all on those restless people in the west courtyard.
"Brother, don't worry. I'm fine. I've gotten better recently. I don't feel any tightness in my chest after a good sleep." Luo Jingyao was slowly recovering, but the symptoms she mentioned were indeed those of the original owner.
"Yao'er wants to kiss your mother?"
"Of course I do." Luo Jingyao nodded seriously.
"Come here and look at the account books with my mother. Do you want to play with anyone who is interested?" The Duke's wife was very happy to hear that her daughter's health was improving.
"Mother, my sister is not fully recovered and can't work too hard. It's so tiring to look at the accounts." Luo Jingzhou felt distressed at first. With a distressed look on her face, she stepped forward and pulled her sister behind her to protect her, as if the Duke's wife would snatch her away.
Past normal.
The Duke's wife glanced at her son with a half-smile, then at her other sons who also looked disapproving, and took a deep breath.
"You brat, it's right that Yao'er is not in good health and shouldn't work too hard, but your mother is old and has more than enough energy. From now on, this account book will be handed over to you. You can't let your mother down, let alone you.
Do you know that my sister is tired?"
You bastards! I can’t cure you yet.
After saying that, his sons were stunned and he left his seat coolly, pulling his daughter, who was laughing and talking, away.
If you have a son, why don’t you keep him?
The opera in the Yilan Hall is not good because the flowers in the garden are not beautiful enough. Besides, she can accompany her little Jiaojiao to see the private treasury they gave to her daughter.
After a while, the duke and his wife decided what they would do every day. As for the sons who stayed in the study, forget about them. They are not very good at strategizing on the battlefield and carrying guns to kill the enemy. They are just a small book.
The account books can't stop them. She knows her sons well, not to mention that several of them are well-known, and few of them can pass the imperial examination. If it weren't for fear... they would all pass the imperial examination.
"I didn't expect that my mother would be so naughty." Luo Jingzhou said helplessly while looking at the account book.
"Hurry up, who told you not to speak?" Luo Qingxue shook her head with a smile on her face, her mother was expressing her anger.
"Have you noticed my little sister's clothes?" Luo Qingzhi squinted his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking, and rubbed his smooth chin with his big white hands.
"What do you mean?" Luo Jingkong took the time to raise her head and asked, and the other three brothers also agreed to focus on Luo Qingzhi.
Luo Qingzhi didn't answer, walked to Zhuo An, spread out a piece of rice paper and started drawing, trying hard to remember the lines in his mind.
"This is...formation?" Luo Qingxue frowned and looked at it. Although he was not proficient in formations, he was somewhat involved because he had a brother who studied formations.
"It looks like a formation but not a formation." It's very strange. Which one is it? Luo Qingzhi frowned. He didn't want to waste time on the account book now. He wanted to study it.
"I'm going back first." Luo Qingzhi rolled up the drawings and left, leaving the three brothers looking at each other.
"Why don't you just ask my little sister." Luo Jingzhou didn't understand why it was so complicated to do something that was obviously very simple and could be known immediately.
"I don't know if my little sister knows the difference in her clothes." Luo Jingkong was worried.
The brothers were also silent. They felt they didn't respect the little sister enough if they asked her in person. If they didn't ask, they were afraid that the little sister wouldn't know and others would take advantage of her.
"My mother manages such a big family, so she must know which company made or sewed the clothes of the masters in the house. They all go through my mother." Luo Qingxue said to Luo Qingzhi's back.
Luo Qingzhi paused, turned around and headed towards his destination.
"Second and fourth, I'll leave this to you. Big brother needs to go out for something." Luo Jingkong flicked her robe without any wrinkles and walked out with her hands behind her back.
"Boss, please slow down." Looking at your anxious look, what's the matter? Why don't you go find your little sister? Luo Qingxue said without even raising her head.
"Pfft!" Luo Jingzhou couldn't help laughing.
Luo Jingkong's face turned red. It was too embarrassing to be singled out by his brothers for running away from being a bastard. It was impossible to just ask him to stop. His long legs swished a few times and disappeared.
Luo Qingxue sneered coldly, everyone is smart, but they are the only two who are honest.
Luo Jingkong followed Luo Qingzhi unhurriedly, and finally found the mother and daughter at Tinglan Waterside Pavilion. Tinglan Waterside Pavilion was built along the artificial lake along the water. Half of it was on the ground and half of it fell into the lake, as if it was suspended in the water.
, surrounded by a sea of flowers and bamboo forests, the scenery is beautiful. The mother and daughter enjoy each other lying on a royal bed, and the gentle breeze blows their dark hair. The mother is dressed dignifiedly in sky blue, and the daughter is delicate and pretty in tender yellow.
Her pale face was lightly powdered, and her silk accessories jingled in the wind.
"I've met my mother."
"Come to find your sister." The Duke's wife sat up, poured a cup of tea for her son and pushed it over to indicate for him to sit down.
"Third brother is looking for me?" Luo Jingyao was surprised and immediately sat upright, very well-behaved.
