The princess has a crow's mouth

Chapter 12
Jun Ruoli lay on the bed for three days before she could get out of bed and move around.This incident reached Emperor Mingzong's ears, and he became the lingering sick bed of King Li, who was running out of time.

Emperor Mingzong frowned, and asked: "Last time, Imperial Physician Mao said it would be half a year, why did King Li become bedridden after you left?"

Eunuch Li replied with some trepidation: "Your Majesty, what the magistrate Mao said that day was that it would take half a year at most... and when we met a few days ago, His Royal Highness Prince Li was not very well..."

Emperor Mingzong threw away the vermilion pen in his hand, obviously angry.The eunuchs and maids in the palace were so frightened that they knelt down and fell on the ground, holding their breath.

"It's been three days! Why can't Qin Tianjian pick anyone out?" In the silent hall, only the angry voice of Emperor Mingzong could be heard.

Eunuch Li quickly said: "Your Majesty, pay attention to the dragon body! This servant will go to Qin Tianjian to find Master Zhao!"

After finishing speaking, Eunuch Li got up and hurried to Qin Tianjian.Seeing Eunuch Li's back in a hurry, Emperor Mingzong silently picked up another red pen on the table and started marking the paper without saying a word.The maids and eunuchs of Qinzheng Palace still kept the kneeling posture just now, lying on the ground, motionless.

After about half an hour, Eunuch Li came back.When he came back, Emperor Mingzong was still reviewing the memorial, and the court ladies and eunuchs were still kneeling.Eunuch Li held a piece of paper folded in half with both hands, and carefully presented it to Emperor Mingzong.

Eunuch Li lowered his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is the list of noble girls selected by Master Zhao, Qin Tianjian. Please have a look at it."

Emperor Mingzong glanced at the list, and discarded it casually.Without looking at Eunuch Li, he asked without any emotion: "What's the matter with this list? Didn't I tell Zhao Jianzheng to pick out a noble girl who is compatible with King Li?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Mr. Zhao said that the noble girls on this list are all of good fortune, and all of them are noble husbands. And they are all the daughters of the ministers of the court. He dare not commit crimes to choose for King Li. That's why I wrote this A list, and present it to His Majesty." Eunuch Li replied respectfully.

Emperor Mingzong didn't raise his head, and continued to devote himself to state affairs. He didn't talk about the nomination list anymore, and just told Eunuch Li what to do.Eunuch Li and the others knew that Emperor Mingzong had made a decision in his heart and had no intention of blaming him, so they immediately received an amnesty.

Liwangfu

Jun Ruoli has recovered some strength today, and can finally get out of bed and walk around.But he still needs to use Su Xiaoxiao's crutch, and it will take a few days to fully recover.

Finally able to move around, Jun Ruoli asked Su Xiaoxiao to help him to the study.Always staying in one place will eventually get a little boring.

After arriving in the study, Jun Ruoli noticed the flowers on the table at a glance.Jun Ruoli noticed it, and Su Xiaoxiao also watched it.

This flower was picked by Su Xiaoxiao that day.After picking it and putting it here, Su Xiaoxiao forgot about changing the flowers.Now the flower has withered, its head hangs down sickly, and a lot of petals have fallen off, lying on the table in a mess.

Su Xiaoxiao is glad that her bangs are long, which can cover her very embarrassing face.She pretended she couldn't see the flower, and stood silently aside with her head down.

How could Jun Ruoli not know that Su Xiaoxiao also saw it, and even felt that Su Xiaoxiao wanted to pretend not to see it!She has always liked to have fun with Su Xiaoxiao, so Jun Ruoli will not let this opportunity pass by.

Picking up a petal that was almost dried up from the table case, Jun Ruoli said with a smile all over her eyes: "The flower on the table case of my king seems to be withered."

Ah!This person is the one who is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change!You shouldn't have forgiven him, just keep fighting!Su Xiaoxiao sneered in her heart and didn't speak.

Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao ignored him, Jun Ruoli was not angry, on the contrary she was very happy.Knowing that Su Xiaoxiao didn't want to talk, Jun Ruoli wanted to provoke her. "Su Xiaoxiao, do you think the flowers on my table have withered?"

Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, and asked back: "Flower? What kind of flower? The servant didn't see it."

The smile in Jun Ruoli's eyes was even bigger, but she pretended to be stern and said: "This is out of order! It seems that this king is too spoiled with you!"

Get used to me?Are you used to me and you still use me as a crutch?Su Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth in her heart, but on the face she knelt down and admitted her mistake pretending to be terrified. "Forgive me, my lord! This servant did not see the flower you mentioned! It's not that I disobeyed my lord intentionally. It's just that my servant suffered from an eye disease yesterday, and it hasn't recovered yet. Even if I can't see people clearly, I can't even see this flower."

Jun Ruoli raised her eyebrows, she couldn't see this sentence clearly, it seemed to have some meaning!
Jun Ruoli wanted to continue, but suddenly heard the sound of pigeons outside the window.He had no choice but to give up this idea, and said: "Since you are sick, I can't blame you. Just change this flower!"

Su Xiaoxiao didn't expect Jun Ruoli to expose it so easily, she had already planned in her heart how to fight fiercely.Since Jun Ruoli doesn't make it difficult for her, she can save her effort!Respectfully said yes, and went to exchange the flowers with the vase.

After Su Xiaoxiao left, Yingyi came in with a pigeon in his arms, and a small bamboo tube was tied to the pigeon's leg.Jun Ruoli untied the bamboo tube and took out the note inside.After looking at it, he destroyed the note.

Seeing Jun Ruoli showing disdain, Yingyi couldn't help asking: "Master, what did Supervisor Zhao say?"

"Your Majesty intends to let Ye Shangshu's daughter-in-law congratulate this king!" Jun Ruoli said ironically, "As expected of Your Majesty!"

"Then what should master do now?" Ying Yi asked.

"Nothing to do, follow His Majesty's orders." Jun Ruoli said with a smile, "Of course there are people who are more anxious than us, we just need to wait in peace!"

After hearing Jun Ruoli's words, Ying Yi didn't ask any more questions, and went out with the pigeon.

After a stick of incense, Su Xiaoxiao came back holding the vase.

Jun Ruoli watched in shock as Su Xiaoxiao put the "flower" on the table, and said, "This is the 'flower' you picked for this king? It's really unique..."

Su Xiaoxiao sneered in her heart, but on the surface she looked uneasy, and said: "It is a blessing for the servant to do things for the prince. The servant is flustered today, and the prince does not blame the servant, but even praises it. The servant is very honored! I must remember the prince. Ende, try your best to do things for the prince!"

In Su Xiaoxiao's last sentence, she deliberately emphasized her tone and slowed down her speech.It seemed to be showing loyalty, but Jun Ruoli could hear the feeling of gnashing of teeth.

Reaching out to touch the willow branch in the willow-leaf vase, Jun Ruoli couldn't help but smile, and said, "This flower is really unique! This king really likes it."

Jun Ruoli's smile was quite coquettish, and Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but stare dumbfounded.But it was only for a moment of distraction, and he secretly cursed that he really had an eye disease, and was deceived by his beautiful appearance!
Looking at the willow branches on the table, Su Xiaoxiao secretly said: "This Jun Ruoli is also a character! Why don't you tell me to throw it away if it's so weird, and let me put it around?"

Regardless of what Su Xiaoxiao thought, Jun Ruoli picked up a policy theory and read it carefully.Neither of them spoke, and there was a touch of harmony and warmth in the air.

On the eighth day of June in the 19th year of Yongkang in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Mingzong issued an edict to marry Ruoli, king of Li.Everyone in the world knew that King Li had been ill for a long time, and the matter of bestowing marriage became a topic of discussion among the common people for a while.

Ye Fu
When the imperial decree arrived, Ye Xin was revising the poems he wrote a few days ago.There will be a poetry meeting in the poetry club in a few days, and she has to think carefully about revisions in order to shine in the poetry meeting.

After thinking about it repeatedly, I always feel that the last sentence is unsatisfactory and not so amazing.This made Ye Xin feel a little annoyed.

At this time, the servant girl hurried in, with an anxious expression on her face, panting and said: "Miss, it's not good!"

Ye Xin frowned, and asked displeasedly: "What's wrong with being in a hurry! What's wrong? What happened?"

The servant girl replied tremblingly: "Miss, the emperor has granted you a marriage! The master has already accepted the order!"

"Marriage?" Ye Xin said disdainfully, "The crown prince must have asked the emperor for it!" She really despised the position of side concubine!But after all, he is the prince, the future emperor!When the prince ascends the throne in the future, she has the confidence to become the most honorable person!

The servant girl shook her head when she heard the words, and said, "Miss, it's not the prince...it's, it's King Li!"

The pen in his hand stopped, and an ink mark scratched the poem on the paper.

Liwangfu

It was none other than Eunuch Li who came to proclaim the decree.Listening to Eunuch Li reciting the awkward imperial decree, Su Xiaoxiao was full of doubts, and did not understand why Emperor Mingzong gave Jun Ruoli a marriage at this time.It can't be out of good intentions, wanting Jun Ruoli to marry a daughter-in-law before he dies.As an emperor, everything he does has ulterior motives.

The imperial decree not only praised Ye Xin's goodness, but also listed many rewards.Eunuch Li uttered a long voice, and he still had to read the words in a correct accent, and it took almost half a cup of tea to recite an imperial decree.

Just when Su Xiaoxiao's legs were about to go numb from kneeling, the long-awaited "Qin this" finally arrived.

"My humble minister, thank the Lord for your grace! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Jun Ruoli kowtowed and took the order to thank him.

Su Xiaoxiao and other servants also kowtowed, saying long live.After thanking her, Su Xiaoxiao helped Jun Ruoli up.

Eunuch Li said with a smile: "Your Majesty's good news is coming soon, so I will congratulate you in advance."

Hearing Eunuch Li's words, Su Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat... She had heard these words on TV, and usually after saying these words, the people close to the master should tip the money!But she didn't have a single coin on her body!

Just when Su Xiaoxin was panicking, Jun Ruoli said flatly, "Thank you, Eunuch Li." Afterwards, Housekeeper Zhu smiled and stuffed a purse for Eunuch Li.

so far so good!Su Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief and put her heart back in her stomach.Jun Ruoli felt that Su Xiaoxiao tensed up for a moment, and relaxed for a moment.Combined with Butler Zhu's actions, Jun Ruoli seemed to understand the reason.

The corners of the mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, just happened to be caught by Su Xiaoxiao who was peeping.Su Xiaoxiao sarcastically said in her heart: "Look, let's see! An older bachelor is about to marry a wife, and he's about to grin to the ears!"

East Palace
Jun Ruochen pushed away the beloved concubine in his arms, stood up quickly, and asked, "What did you say? Father pointed Ye Xin to Jun Ruoli?"

The little eunuch replied submissively: "Yes, yes, His Royal Highness."

Jun Ruochen's eyes flickered, and he hurried out.

The little eunuch was startled, and quickly asked, "His Royal Highness, where are you going?"

Jun Ruochen ignored the little eunuch, left the East Palace, and headed for the Palace of Qinzheng.
