I have an altar of luck

"Father, you...you spy on me?"

Zhang Wanshu was a little dissatisfied.

"Being a father is for your own good."

Second Sister Zhang snorted softly, turned her head away and stopped looking at him.

"Chen Yuan is indeed a rare talent, but for you, he is not a good match." Zhang Yantong knew that this sentence was cruel, but he still said it calmly.

"What does father mean?"

Second Sister Zhang looked puzzled.

"Chen Yuan's talent is unparalleled. Looking at the world, no one can match him. But the more he is like this, the less he can be regarded as a good match. His temperament is passable, but my father can see that this person has a strong desire for power. It is said that he is a person who can abandon everything for the sake of profit, but he can definitely abandon most of it!"

"People like this tend to have a high spirit and don't stick to their children's affection. As far as you are concerned, in fact..."

"Isn't a good man supposed to aim everywhere? If Chen Yuan is really obsessed with his son and daughter's love, his daughter probably won't like him." Zhang Wanshu said immediately.

Seeing the look in his daughter's eyes, Zhang Yantong frowned, and decided to say something to make her give up:

"Do you know the news about Chen Yuan and the eldest princess Pingyang?"

"Isn't this just a rumor?"

Second Sister Zhang asked.

But Zhang Yantong smiled mysteriously:

"Rumor? Wanshu, have you ever thought about where this 'rumor' came from? It can't be groundless, right?"

"What does father mean?"

Zhang Wanshu frowned.

"Yes, from my father's point of view, this rumor was ordered by His Majesty. Facing a peerless genius like Chen Yuan, the future true king's seed, how could His Majesty not win over him?

And if you want to tie this person, there is nothing better than getting the eldest princess to marry and form an in-law, or even use other means. "

Zhang Yantong looked solemnly, and continued:

"Your Majesty has a cold heart and extraordinary means, and he will definitely regard Chen Yuan as a sharp long knife of the Sima royal family to cut off some of the imperial court's decline.

As a father, I have been thinking about it for the past few days, and I feel that Chen Yuan's ability to defy all opinions and ascend to the position of Liangzhou Golden Envoy so quickly is probably due to His Majesty's order.

If Chen Yuan does well this time in Liangzhou, he will definitely think of a way to reward him with a marriage, and even if he doesn't do well, he will think of other ways.

In short, if you want to compete with His Majesty for a man, and for a husband with the Eldest Princess, Wan Shu, do you think you can do it?Do you think the strength of the Zhang family can fight against the royal family? "

Although this incident was somewhat cruel, Zhang Yantong thought it would be better to tell her earlier.

Although the previous ones were just some of his guesses, he felt that this guess was very likely to come true.

After Zhang Erjie finished listening, she opened her mouth and was silent for a long time:

"My daughter understands."

She didn't have the slightest confidence in competing with the eldest princess for her husband-in-law, and it was not her wish to make the Zhang family rebel against the royal family, because it would bring disaster to the Zhang family.

Looking at his daughter's disappointed eyes, Zhang Yantong couldn't bear it, and said in a deep voice:

"That's just the most important reason, but there are actually a few more."

"what?"

"Although this boy Chen Yuan claims to be unfeminine, he is not alone. As far as his father knows, he has raised many women.

The one in Tangshan Mansion is just one of them. Even if there is no eldest princess and Your Majesty, do you want to be a little girl, Wanshu? "

Many women are naturally Zhang Yantong's white lies. He just doesn't want to see his daughter lose his mind because of Chen Yuan. He does value Chen Yuan and regards him as a strong man in the future.

Otherwise, she wouldn't just sit back and watch Wanshu give the talisman to Chen Yuan.

But planning is planning and has nothing to do with family.

Zhang Wanshu raised her head and glanced at Zhang Yantong, then nodded without saying much.

She believed what she said before, but if it was said that Chen Yuan had many women, she would absolutely not believe it. Zhang Xuan had sent letters to her for a long time, and had already known some things about Chen Yuan.

At most, there were only two women related to Chen Yuan, and these two were not too much of a threat. Shen Yanshu had separated long ago and entered the Goddess Palace to practice.

Mrs. Xu is old and can only be a concubine at best.

Relatively speaking, Chen Yuan was already very restrained.

Of those dignitaries in the capital, aren't they three wives and four concubines?Groups of maidservants?

Even her father was more than one woman. Under the influence of such customs, Second Sister Zhang felt that two women were nothing at all.

As for those who fall in love with one person, there are really too few, and she doesn't expect extravagantly.

Just looking at the fish in the lake, I thought to myself:

"You guy, why are you so good? Can't you be mediocre?"

……

……

"No."

In Chunhua Palace, Concubine Yang looked at the things in the hands of the maid and directly denied it.

"Your Majesty, these are already the jade bamboos carefully selected by the servants in the treasure house. Can you tell me some requirements, so that the servants can find them easily."

The maid knelt on the ground and whispered.

Yang Guifei's eyes flickered, and she said after a long time:

"This Polygonatum odoratum is too thin, it's hard to play with, Qing'er, you... go and find a bigger one for Bengong."

"Yes, slaves obey."

As long as there is a request, the rest will be easy to find. Although I don't know what the imperial concubine suddenly wants this thing for, but just follow orders, she dare not ask more.

Seeing Qing'er's disappearing figure, Concubine Yang sat on top and rubbed her head. Since she left the Chen Mansion last night, whenever she closed her eyes, all she could think of were those images.

It's simply unsightly and degrading.

In the end, I can only find a way to see things and think about others.

Taking a deep breath, Concubine Yang turned her eyes to the outside of the palace, as if she saw Chen Yuan's leaving back, and even smiled at her when she left.

With her fingers across her cheeks, Concubine Yang closed her eyes.

And the cheek she touched was exactly the half of Chen Yuan's face that was beaten in Shuanghe Temple before, and now the swelling has completely subsided, but she felt that it was hit in his heart.

Want to forget but can't forget, that's why Sima Ke sneaked out of the harem after he said those words yesterday.

It's a pity that Chen Yuan didn't slap her again last night.

Pingyang Princess Mansion.

The eldest princess Pingyang frowned slightly and looked at the younger brother in front of her, with a little displeasure in her eyes, and asked coldly:

"Why did you come here? If you have the time, why don't you read more books and practice more martial arts?"

Sima Ke smiled embarrassingly:

"Don't blame the emperor, I just miss the emperor, so come and see."

"It's over, let's go."

Princess Pingyang said lightly.

"How can we say that we are also brothers and sisters of the same mother, sister Huang doesn't hate my younger brother so much?" Sima Ke said with a bit of displeasure on his face.

Princess Pingyang stared at Sima Ke without saying anything.

Sima Ke broke the silence after a moment of silence, and said:

"Sister Huang, Envoy Chen Qing... left today."

"Why, do you still want to deal with this person?"

Princess Pingyang frowned.

Sima Ke shook his head again and again:

"After the previous lesson, how can I still target this person?"

"Then you still follow him?"

"Actually, my younger brother is concerned about the emperor's sister." Sima Ke continued.

"Ok?"

"The younger brother knows that the emperor is arrogant and does not want to marry a mediocre person. This has been wasted until now. Every time the younger brother thinks of it, he is very worried. Yesterday he suddenly thought of a very suitable candidate, so I came here to ask the elder sister about it." mean."

Sima Ke didn't listen to what Chen Yuan said before. In his opinion, his imperial sister, Pingyang, was beautiful and beautiful. With Chen Yuan's temperament, it was impossible not to covet him, but it was just because of his face that he couldn't say much.

But he knew it in his heart.

Therefore, today I came here to meet Huang Jie, even if it doesn’t work out, I still have to deepen my impression. If it does happen in the future, he has Huang Jie Pingyang,

With brother-in-law Chen Yuan helping each other, why worry about the uncertain position of the crown prince?

No matter how bad it is, he still has his mother concubine Yang Guifei and his sub-father Chen Qing to help him. With such a two-pronged approach, he does not believe that Chen Yuan will not help him with all his strength!

Princess Pingyang stared at Sima Ke and said coldly:

"It's not your turn to worry about the affairs of this palace. Don't bring up this matter again in the future, or don't blame the emperor for being ruthless and not letting you enter the princess mansion again."

"Sister Huang doesn't want to hear who the candidate is from what my younger brother said?"

"Do not want to."

"It's Chen Yuan, the former demon sword, and now Chen Yuan, the golden envoy of Liangzhou! His talent is unmatched in the world, his appearance is magnificent, and his ability is outstanding. Only such a person can be worthy of the emperor's sister in the eyes of my younger brother."

Sima Ke blurted out immediately.

"So what?" Princess Pingyang's eyes flickered, and she continued:

"Aren't you incompatible with Chen Yuan? You said such a thing today. Could it be that you want me to help you deal with Chen Qingshi?"

"Of course not. As the saying goes, it's better to resolve an enemy than to make a knot. Chen Yuan is too difficult to deal with. How could the younger brother fight him to the death? With such a strong support, it's too late to even make friends. How could he take advantage of Sister Huang?" Woolen cloth?"

Sima Ke quickly explained.

Princess Pingyang raised her head, her expression still calm:

"Don't bring this matter up again. You don't need to take care of the affairs of this palace. If you really want to fight for the crown prince, you should solidify your foundation. Don't think about relying on anyone's strength.

Who in the imperial court has the power of the royal family?

As long as you get the favor of the emperor, you don't need to win over anyone, and you can stabilize the situation. "

"Miss Huang, I..."

"Okay, I'm tired, you should step back first."

Princess Pingyang directly issued an order to expel the guests.

For this younger brother, she became more and more disgusted, especially after guessing the simple "Concubine Shu's case" before.

I don't want to have any more in-depth contact with it.

This son can't make a big deal!

Sima Ke's face turned blue and white, but seeing Princess Pingyang's indifferent expression, he didn't dare to say anything, he could only apologize, turned and left.

After it left completely, Princess Pingyang said calmly:

"What happened?"

Behind the screen, a figure knelt on one knee and said in a low voice:

"Returning to Your Highness, my subordinates accidentally discovered some traces of Wusheng Cult monsters in the imperial city."

"Wu Sheng taught the demon."

Princess Pingyang's face immediately became extremely dignified:

"Is this matter clear?"

"It hasn't been investigated yet, but there are traces of its activities. The subordinates are worried that something will happen, so they come here to report to His Highness."

"It seems that these monsters couldn't bear the disturbance caused by the Taoist Palace before." A slight murderous intent flashed across Princess Pingyang's face.
