Chapter 192
"Thank you, Brother Emperor, for your concern. I'm fine. I just don't want to eat today." Luo Lanmeng said perfunctorily, feeling a little guilty in her heart. She had always thought that she was an orphan, and she had enjoyed a strong family affection in the past two months, deep in her heart. Chu has already accepted the fact that the current emperor is his own brother.

"Okay, you brothers and sisters are friendly, and the Ai family is very relieved!" Liu Lingying said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the Ai family didn't eat much tonight. Your majesty, why don't we just set up a table in this hall, and we are like ordinary people. Same, have a reunion dinner and celebrate the Lantern Festival.”

"Grandma Huang's idea is good! I just toasted to the ministers tonight, and didn't eat much." Emperor Taixiang became interested, turned around and said: "Hurry up and prepare!"

"Obey, Your Majesty!"

The eunuch and maid hurried down and ordered preparations.

Empress Dowager Jiang looked left and right, and finally couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, Marquis Fuchang entered the palace this morning to pay his respects and ask this palace for something."

"What's the matter with him?" Emperor Tai Xiang frowned slightly, although he didn't like to see this cousin who had always been idle, but today was a festive season, and he was in a good mood, so he didn't care too much.

"He wants to ask my palace to give him a marriage." The empress dowager was very concerned about this nephew who has always been obedient, and explained to him: "He is not too young, and he should marry a relative so that he can take him in." Heart, I wish I could serve the imperial court."

"That's true." Emperor Taixiang said indifferently: "In this case, which girl he has his eyes on, as long as the other girl is willing, you can arrange it for him, Queen Mother."

"Your Majesty." Empress Dowager Jiang looked at Luo Lanmeng next to her with a smile on her face, and said in a kind tone: "The eldest princess has been wandering away since she was a child, and she is over eighteen years old. She should have been married long ago. As a mother, I have always been worried about this." Fortunately, Marquis Fuchang fell in love with him at first sight, and asked me to marry the eldest princess. I thought it was a good thing. Not only could I get closer, but it would also be convenient for future contacts, so I hope the emperor will agree. Marquis Fuchang's request!"

After hearing this, Emperor Taixiang frowned again.

Before he could speak, Zhou Wanyao finally couldn't help but said loudly: "I absolutely do not agree with this marriage!"

Empress Dowager Jiang suddenly changed her color, and yelled at Zhou Wanyao: "What are you, you dare to yell in front of this palace, come here, drag me down and take responsibility!"

As soon as Empress Dowager Jiang finished speaking, Liu Lingying looked at her, her eyes were extremely sharp and breathtaking.

Empress Dowager Jiang suddenly felt chilly, and her body began to tremble involuntarily.

"As the eldest princess' biological mother, Mrs. Zhou is unavoidably excited when she hears this, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." Liu Ziying said calmly: "But this is also because the Queen Mother's statement is simply absurd, and she will never mourn this marriage. I will agree! Marquis Fuchang is ignorant, addicted to drinking and sex all day long, and hangs around brothels and restaurants. It is already known to the people of Luoyang. If the eldest princess marries him, it will not only be the misfortune of the eldest princess, but also my royal family. It's a joke, Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"Mother and concubine's words are wrong!" Empress Dowager Jiang immediately retorted: "Which one of the sons of princes in Luoyang City is not like this now, it is normal to be more romantic when you are young, as long as——"

Empress Dowager Jiang just said a few words, met Liu Lingying's eyes again, she couldn't help but stopped, and leaned limply on the wooden chair.

At this time, the old eunuch Cao Zhong standing beside Emperor Taixiang slightly bowed his hands to Liu Lingying and saluted.

Liu Lingying understood his intentions, relaxed her mind slightly, let Tiju's zhenqi slowly return to her dantian, and said coldly: "The eldest princess is like a royal fairy in my royal family, only a dragon and a phoenix can match her, the local chicken tile Don't let the dog have delusions."

Empress Dowager Jiang suffered a loss twice, she was terrified and did not dare to refute.Since she became the empress dowager, she had little contact with the empress dowager in the harem for the past few years, and lived a comfortable life bossing her around. Now that she had learned her lesson, she remembered how scary this old lady was, so she had no choice but to turn her attention to Emperor Taixiang.

In fact, the current emperor is not close to her biological mother. The former prince died early, and the emperor Taizu finally decided to let the emperor's grandson inherit the throne. He was also worried that she, who was narrow-minded, reckless and jealous, would not be able to properly raise the emperor's grandson. , directly took the six-year-old emperor grandson away from her, raised and taught her personally, and even did not allow her to have long-term contact with the emperor grandson...

In this way, more than 20 years later, the relationship between Emperor Taixiang and Empress Dowager Jiang was like a stranger, far less than the intimacy with the Empress Dowager Taizu (the Taizu took the empress dowager with him, and Liu Ziying was usually the one who took care of him, although he strictly ordered Liu Ziying not to secretly He taught the emperor's grandson martial arts, but Liu Ziying usually told some anecdotes about the world, which made the emperor's grandson have a strong interest in martial arts since childhood).

Facing his biological mother's eyes asking for help, Emperor Taixiang said solemnly: "The emperor's grandfather once had a strict order that 'no one in the royal family or noble officials should have close contact with martial arts people, and those who violate it will be severely punished'. The emperor's sister is A disciple of the Goddess Palace is also a martial artist, if Marquis Fuchang is not afraid of being deprived of his title and property, he can make this request to me."

As soon as these words came out, not only Queen Mother Jiang was stupid, but even Liu Lingying was stunned. They really didn't expect this to happen.

"This...according to this statement, isn't the eldest princess only able to marry ordinary civilians? This is too absurd!" Empress Dowager Jiang blurted out, what she said was exactly what Liu Ziying wanted to say, but then Jiang The queen mother said eagerly again: "The eldest princess's marriage can't be delayed, so let her withdraw from the Goddess Palace and become a martial artist, wouldn't that be enough?"

Hearing this, Liu Lingying was furious: "Jiang Zhiyan, you insult my teacher! I will risk my life today, but I will teach you a lesson!"

"Grandma, please calm down! Please calm down!" Emperor Taixiang hurried forward to appease, and said solemnly: "The imperial sister has just recognized her ancestors and returned to the clan. She has not been in the palace for a few days, and she is about to be married off. How can this happen?" Reasonable! In my opinion, there is no need to worry about the marriage of the imperial sister for the time being, you can choose slowly, and when there is a good marriageable candidate in the future, even if it is a noble official, it is not impossible to discuss it."

After hearing this, Liu Lingying nodded in satisfaction: "Your majesty is wise, Aijia thinks this is feasible."

Empress Dowager Jiang sat slumped on the wooden chair. Liu Lingying's yell at her just now implied a little real anger, which made her a little dizzy, and she didn't have the mood to speak.

"You all don't have to worry about my marriage!" Luo Lanmeng finally couldn't help it, and said loudly: "Before I entered the palace, I already had a marriage contract!"

These words were like a bolt from the blue, causing Emperor Taixiang, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager to stand on the spot in a daze.

Liu Lingying was the first to react, and looked at Zhou Wanyao with a serious expression: "Is this true?!"

Witnessing all the troubles just now, Zhou Wanyao has never been so convinced that letting her daughter marry Xue Chang, whom she likes, is the best choice, so she nodded without hesitation: "It's true! It's me and The marriage contract promised by the senior sister!"

"Confused!" Liu Lingying scolded: "It's not like you two don't know the identity of Lan girl, why dare you make such absurd decision?!"

"I don't blame my mother, it's a marriage contract I made privately and forced my mother and uncle to agree!" Now that the matter has been made public, Luo Lanmeng simply put his heart on the line, faced Emperor Taixiang bravely and calmly, and said emotionally : "Brother Emperor, I originally made an agreement with him that he would come to the Goddess Palace to propose marriage to me on the Shangyuan Festival today! But you sent an imperial envoy to Wushan first to let me know that I am not an orphan. I have a mother, There is also a brother, in order to see you, I came to the palace, but I failed to fulfill the marriage contract. During this period of time, I was very sad... I beg the emperor brother to agree to my marriage with him! If not, then I... just Can leave the palace and go to be with him!"

"Nonsense!" Liu Lingying stomped her feet angrily, and was about to reprimand loudly when she heard Empress Dowager Jiang laughing and mocking: "Sure enough, what kind of people give birth to what kind of children! This is the first time I have heard such absurd things. speech--"

As soon as she said a few words, she saw Liu Lingying turned her head to look at her again, and quickly swallowed her words again in fright.

Emperor Taixiang was not angry, looking at the resolute Luo Lanmeng, it suddenly reminded him of the scene when he contradicted the emperor's grandfather many times when he was young. Although he was not born of the same mother, his personality in this respect is quite similar. He sighed in his heart, He asked in his mouth: "Sister Huang, can you tell me, who is this man you like?"

"He is Xue Chang, the head of the Bashu Wulin Xiaoyao Sect!" Before Zhou Wanyao had time to give a hint, Luo Lanmeng said the name proudly.

"Xue Chang? This name is somewhat familiar..." Emperor Taixiang thought for a while, but couldn't remember where he had heard this name.

"Your Majesty." Cao Zhong reminded softly at the side: "This Xue Chang used to be the young head of the Jincheng Bodyguard Bureau in Chengdu Prefecture. In the hot spring bloody incident that happened in Bashu the summer before last, he was lucky to be rescued by someone else. Not only did he escape Life, but also received the unique knowledge, martial arts advances by leaps and bounds. In the Ping Qiang War, he and the eldest princess together thwarted the Tie Jianmen rebellion's plot to attack the Rongzhou military camp—"

"I remember it!" Taixiang Emperor suddenly said: "He is included in the list of meritorious service submitted by the Chengdu Martial Inspection Division."

Cao Zhong continued: "After the Ping-Qiang War ended, he submitted an application to the Patrol Division to start a faction, and he even defeated Taoist Master Zhen Youli of the Qingcheng faction in the test to start the faction, thus passing the test and creating the Xiaoyao faction—— "

Emperor Taixiang was a little surprised: "I have seen the introductions of the martial arts chief inspectors over the years... I remember that Zhen Youli was once named the leader of the next generation of Bashu martial arts. This Xue Chang can beat him, so he is good at martial arts." .”

"Your Majesty," Cao Zhong said in a low voice, "It's not only good! Zhen Dao is over fifty years old, and this Xue Chang is only 20 years old. There are very few martial arts in the whole Zhou Dynasty who can have such martial arts at his age, so Chengdu The inspector's evaluation of him is "he has amazing martial arts talent, no accidents, he will definitely be able to dominate my Great Zhou Wulin in the future."
