Need for Highness, Enchanting Concubine

Chapter 4
Leng Jie couldn't help admiring him in his heart, no wonder even the prince praised this young general so much, it was really extraordinary.

"Unexpectedly, someone would cause trouble in Fuyue City. Does Major General Lan know the origin of those men in black?" Leng Jie asked suspiciously.

Lan Jing shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"Don't worry, major general, the humble subordinates will definitely catch those thieves, by the way, where is the princess?"

A trace of nervousness appeared on Leng Jie's expression.

Immediately afterwards, Lan Jing also showed the same expression, and immediately turned to look for his sister.

Fortunately, after walking a few steps, they saw the figures of the master and servant, and Lan Jing stepped forward immediately.

Just as I was about to ask, I was preempted by the two maids.

"Young master, the young lady has been frightened, so hurry up and go to the palace!"

In the past few days, Lan Zhiyao has always looked sick, so now seeing such a scene, Lan Jing has no doubts, and hastily asked the maids to send Leng Xiwu back into the sedan chair.

After a while, the send-off team set off again.

Even if something like this happened, today's wedding must not be delayed for a while, who told this to be a marriage bestowed by the emperor himself.

On the other side, Qin'er took Lan Zhiyao and hid in an alley, finally took a breath, and when she wanted to ask her lady if she was okay, the uncle who had been missing just now finally appeared.

"Wu'er, are you alright?" Bai Xiyan asked softly as she pulled Lan Zhiyao into her arms as soon as she appeared.

Seeing Qin'er was moved for a while, thinking that the young master still cared about the young lady very much.

Lan Zhiyao shook her head lightly, but did not make a sound.

Bai Xiyan didn't ask any more questions, but she never left Lan Zhiyao, which made it impossible for Qin'er to tell who the person under the red hijab was.

I don't know whether it was intentional or not, except that the phoenix crown under the red hijab was different, Lan Zhiyao and Leng Xiwu's brides were dressed almost exactly the same.

The Lan family is not a luxurious family, and has always advocated frugality, and this Lan Zhiyao is not a person who loves so many gold and silver jewelry, so she doesn't wear too many items given by the royal family. At most, it is similar to that of ordinary wealthy families.

Even so, the dresses of the two brides are too consistent.

When the outside became more stable, Bai Xiyan took Lan Zhiyao back. Although the welcoming team dispersed quite a bit, there were still a few people left who could barely lift the sedan chair and go home.

Mismarriages, although rare, are not unheard of.

However, such a well-designed one is extremely rare.

Among the two couples, only one was completely buried in the dark.

Ten miles of red makeup, red luan brocade sedan chair, but in the end it was just a ridiculous conspiracy.

Inside the Prince Chen's Mansion, red lanterns were hung all over and decorated with red silk, giving it a sense of grace and joy.

The main hall is full of guests, either rich or expensive.

When Lan Jing and the others arrived at the Prince Chen's Mansion, Shen Tianhao, who was dressed in plain clothes just now, had already dressed neatly. He had changed into a dazzling red brocade robe embroidered with gold thread, a gold-rimmed dragon belt, and a pebble-sized The ruby ​​is inlaid on the golden crown, which is rich and luxurious.

Logically speaking, even if this Prince Chen is the most beloved prince of the Holy Majesty and the Empress Dowager, he should go to the gate of the city to meet his future princess, but he did not.

This point was not beyond Lan Jing's expectation.

Ordinary people don't know it, but the Lan family knows it very well.

Shen Tianhao didn't want to marry Lan Zhiyao at all, and Lan Rui really didn't want to marry his daughter into the royal family, but the emperor's order was hard to violate, so the two had to agree to it.

After all, you will never be able to refute the words of the Son of Heaven.

There's no way to say no, it's true.

It's pointless to fool a little bit.

Therefore, Shen Tianhao's behavior was quite normal in Lan Jing's eyes.

Leng Xiwu was helped into the hall by those two maids, in the eyes of outsiders, there was nothing strange about it.

"First worship the heaven and earth, second worship the high hall, husband and wife worship each other!"

Li Bi.

Immediately, Leng Xiwu was sent into the bridal chamber.

Shen Tianhao stayed to entertain the guests, and the person he wanted to respect for the first glass of wine was nothing more than Lan Jing.

"Major General, you have had a hard time on the road, you must drink this glass of wine!"

For Shen Tianhao, the Lan family was not the force he most wanted to win over, but it was still in the forefront.

After all, the Lan family has a military spirit. Although they lost to the King of War, they are not weak.

This is exactly what Shen Tianhao lacks.

Lan Jing drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and said respectfully, "Thank you, my lord!"

This respect is not fake.

In Beilang Kingdom, there are only a handful of people who can truly admire Lan Jing!
Shen Tianhao can be counted as one.

Although Prince Chen is cold, his intelligence is first-rate, both civil and military, he is good at recruiting talents, he is generous and decent in dealing with affairs, and he looks like a wise king.

During the current dynasty, the second and fifth princes died young, and the sixth prince was too young and mischievous to be a great weapon.

The crown prince has status, but has never had real power. His body is ominous and his body is weak. If the emperor hadn't cared about the former queen's affection, I am afraid that the crown prince would have changed hands long ago. But in the eyes of everyone, it will be sooner or later. thing.

Now, the person who can still "compete" for the throne with Prince Chen, no matter how anyone thinks about it, can only be the third prince Shen Tianao who is the same age as him far away at the border.

The King of War, Shen Tianao.

He was familiar with military books at the age of seven, and has fought with the army at the age of ten. He has achieved numerous battles. It can be said that as long as he is in the army, he has never lost a battle.

The prestige of this battle king resounds throughout the world, and the common people are all dissatisfied.

In terms of popular opinion, maybe Shen Tianao is even better than Shen Tianhao.

However, in terms of status, Shen Tianao would be inferior by several points.

Shen Tianhao is not only highly appreciated by the emperor, but also favored by the empress dowager. His mother is the imperial concubine Li Huanong and the sister of Prince Li.

Such a prominent background is not comparable to Shen Tianao's. His mother was originally a lowly maid in the palace, but only after she received divine favor by accident. However, after all, he is a person without blessings, and Shen Tianao died of illness when he was three years old. All he has such an honorable position is entirely due to his own hard work.

In the officialdom, Shen Tianhao is like a fish in water.

On the battlefield, Shen Tianao was invincible.

One is guarding Fuyue City, and the other is sticking to the border.

Returning to the imperial capital is only a matter of time.

This battle for crown prince is even more imminent.

There were so many people watching, most of them knew that Shen Tianhao was the prince most likely to inherit the throne.
