When the prince has the ability to read minds, he switches to the princess

Although Xi Rou was a little surprised by the result, she was quite satisfied.

The more dissatisfied the emperor is with His Highness Ninth Prince, the further his plans will go.

"In a few days, the prince and princess of Xixia will enter the palace to meet the emperor. At that time, they will propose a marriage. The only one in the court who has not gotten married is the ninth prince."

Hearing this, the old lady and Marquis Dingyuan both looked at Fang Xirou. Fang Xirou lowered her head and did not participate.

Is he going to get married?

In the previous life, the prince of Xixia was stubborn about marrying his eldest cousin. The princess of Xixia seemed to have fallen in love with Zhu Gaoyong, but in the end she gave up because Zhu Gaoyong was not favored. In the end, there was a third prince whose mother was the imperial concubine.

But if it is Zhu Gaoyong, it is not impossible.

"Master Marquis, if you can, please come into the palace and say a word to the emperor."

"say what?"

"Let's just say that His Highness Ninth Prince should be put to death for killing the imperial official."

Marquis Dingyuan frowned. He felt that Zhu Gaoyong handled the matter very well. If Wan Dunyi were alive, Shanxi officials would be frightened. Only Wan Dunyi's death can Shanxi officials handle matters with peace of mind.

As for what happens in the future, it depends on whether these officials feel at ease.

If you are uneasy, you can handle it slowly. This will also give the court time to select officials.

But the emperor is suspicious. With so many people speaking for His Highness Ninth Prince, it is inevitable that the emperor will think too much.

Marquis Dingyuan knew that Fang Xirou was smart, but he still felt a little regretful that his son did not marry her.

Pity.

If His Highness hadn't threatened him with his son, he would have really been unwilling to give up.

"I'm going to the palace."

After Marquis Dingyuan left, Xuelian Yi, who was sitting next to him, asked, "Does His Highness the Ninth Prince have anything to do with our family?"

Princess Fushun said quickly: "Of course it does matter. If he marries our sister in the future, then His Highness Ninth Prince will be my brother-in-law."

Xuelian Yi's eyebrows raised slightly.

It turns out that she has now climbed up to His Highness Ninth Prince.

This is where things get interesting.

Marquis Dingyuan went to the palace, and then the palace issued a decree to make Zhu Gaoyong the Prince of Shen County.

Zhu Gaoyong, who had just been released, did not go to the celebration banquet held by his brothers, but went to see the old lady of the Hou Mansion.

The old lady knew his purpose and asked him to meet Fang Xirou in the yard.

Although Fang Xirou was reluctant, she went anyway.

There is a beautiful garden in the backyard of Marquis Dingyuan, with pavilions and pavilions. Zhu Gaoyong is waiting in the octagonal pavilion.

Seeing Fang Xirou coming, he stood up and looked over.

Fang Xirou paused subconsciously. The people in the pavilion did not move, so Xirou took a few steps forward.

"I have met His Highness the Nine...county princes."

Zhu Gaoyong wanted her to enter the pavilion and play a game of chess with her.

Xirou refused: "Your Highness, I don't know how."

Before Zhu Gaoyong went to Shanxi, he had some guesses about her little thoughts. He knew that she was just smart, but after handling the case in Shanxi, he suspected that the woman in front of him had the ability to predict.

Such an ability really cannot fall into the hands of outsiders.

"If you don't know how, I will teach you."

Xirou curled her lips and said, "Your Majesty, I still have classes. If you're okay, I'm going back."

Zhu Gaoyong did not take her rejection to heart, but asked: "How far do you think this prince can go in the future if he does his job well? Become a prince?"

Xirou said silently in her heart: How can you princes be so rigid as to be a prince? You are all the emperor's sons, so you will naturally pursue that position. But there is only one throne, and there is only one winner in the end. If you succeed as a king or lose as a bandit, you will die.

This was the second time he heard her say he was going to die.

Zhu Gaoyong smiled.

Will he die? But what if I just stay where I am.

Xirou would not tell him the truth. Xirou only said: "His Royal Highness the County Prince has outstanding abilities and will definitely be crowned king in the future."

"It's a pity that when my father made me the county king, I refused. I took the opportunity to ask for other rewards."

"what?"

"My Highness will take this credit in exchange for a marriage from my father."

Marriage?

Xi Rou looked at him with wide eyes.

Is he stupid? Such a big credit, no, this is not credit, this is the first time he has shown his ability in front of the emperor. If he takes this as a cornerstone and expresses his loyalty to the emperor, he will definitely become a knife in the emperor's hand in the future.

Use such a big achievement in exchange for yourself?

Xi Rou really couldn't figure it out. How did she attract his attention?

When Zhu Gaoyong heard her scolding him, he was not angry, but very happy.

"What? Are you so happy?"

Even though he knew she was angry, he still couldn't help teasing her and liked the way she dared to be angry but not speak out.

It was the first time for me to discover a girl so truly.

"Where's the imperial edict?"

"Not yet."

Not down? It’s fine if you don’t.

"In a few days, there will be a banquet in the palace to entertain the prince and princess of Xixia. When the time comes, you will also enter the palace together."

"..."

Zhu Gaoyong was about to leave, but when he raised his eyebrows, he saw someone walking towards him not far away.

"Who is that? Marquis Dingyuan has chosen the Crown Princess for his son."

"A disgusting person."

Annoying?

The man had already stepped forward and said:

"Second niece, is this your Royal Highness, right?"

Although I was disgusted in my heart, I still said with a soft face: "Little aunt, this is Prince Shen. Does little aunt know how to play chess? Why not play a game with Prince Shen."

Xuelian Yi has never seen such a good-looking man, and everyone loves beauty.

"Okay."

Zhu Gaoyong hummed slightly, and did not go to see Xuelian Yi. Instead, he said to Xi Judao: "I have something to do, so I won't accompany you anymore. I will study hard with the palace maid, and we will see you again on the day of the palace banquet." "

With that said, he left.

Seeing that the man didn't look at her, Xuelian Yi felt angry. What's wrong with you?

"Second niece, did you say something bad about me to the prince?"

Xirou shook her head.

"Auntie, do you want me to say anything bad?"

"If you didn't tell me, why would the prince ignore me?"

"This... you have to ask the county prince."

"..."

Xirou paused for a moment and said, "It is said that there are secret guards around me. There are some things that I don't need to say personally."

"What do you mean?"

Xirou smiled and said: "Don't worry, little aunt, the secret guard will definitely tell the truth. I'm sorry to say that, my little aunt is suffering from demonic confusion, but the secret guard didn't know it, but he hurt you. I think after the county king finds out, I will definitely give you a gift and apologize.”

Giving a gift to apologize?

Could the secret guard not know that she did it on purpose?

Xuelianyi looked embarrassed and said, "The second niece said it is true."

Xirou went back to continue class, but Xuelianyi did not come back.

After the class was over, Princess Fushun took her back with her. Xirou thought she was gossiping again, but this time it was not the case.

Princess Fushun went back and got a men's clothing from somewhere. After dressing up, she came out of the house.

"Second sister, look at me now. Do I look like a female general who returns to court after victory?"

Xirou stared at her, she really looked like her.

It's just that her eyebrows don't have the chivalrous air of her eldest cousin, but a little more coquettishness that her eldest cousin doesn't have.

"I looked like a three-pointer before, but now that you are dressed up, I think there is a seventy-point resemblance. If the Hou Mansion hadn't already found my sister-in-law, I'm afraid I would have suspected that this female general was the missing one from our Hou Mansion. My sister-in-law is here."
