After cursing bad luck, he summoned his aura to dispel the extremely yang atmosphere in the house, and threw the bottle back into the system backpack.
But Baili Mi was dumbfounded, her beautiful eyes gleamed with longing, this was what she hoped for, it could speed up her plan!
"My lord, was that just now?"
"It was originally a big gift for you. If you say no, forget it. I will give it to someone else another day."
Baili Mi suddenly wanted to slap herself.
Chapter 57
Prince's East Palace.
The guards are patrolling normally, the maids are waiting outside the gate of the palace, the house is full of violins and chords, and the graceful figure of the dancer is ups and downs, creating an elegant scene.
But if you walk in front of these guards, maids and dancers, you will find that their eyes are glazed, their smiles are stiff, and there is a bit of horror when you look closely.
They are not dead, they are just sealed.
The outside world will only enjoy dancing and music all night as the prince, but they don't know that there are big plans in the palace.
"Messenger, are you sure that this action will be foolproof? If there is any deviation, we will be lost forever!" said the man in the crown prince's suit.
With his back turned to the messenger, he looked greedily at a portrait of a woman hanging on the wall, which was a rebellious portrait.
The woman in the painting is the current queen!
"Naturally, does His Royal Highness like the picture scroll treasure that I taught you?" said the black-robed emissary wearing a ghostly mask.
It is a strange image, but behind it is a shallow round wheel condensed by the power of the extreme sun, like the light of Buddha behind it.
A glimpse of the past is like a saint alive.
"I like it, I like it so much, it saves me the effort to train dead men to practice painting." The prince reached out and stroked the woman's face on the scroll.
Although he was only touching the picture scroll, he felt that what he was touching was a real person, and he would soon be able to touch the real person, and take this most beautiful woman in the sky as his own.
Even if she is his mother!
Copying the queen's portrait and hiding it for viewing is a capital crime, and the status of the prince can't be preserved, but this is the woman he misses day and night.
Looking for ordinary painters, and worried about leaking secrets, I let my dead man learn to paint, but it is a pity that he became a monk halfway and couldn't paint.
The treasure given by the envoy of the holy religion is quite considerate, as long as the woman is allowed to look at the picture scroll, she can secretly record the look and demeanor of the other party in the picture scroll.
It's not a big killer or a big treasure, but the gift is expensive because it suits people's wishes.
this gift,
The prince likes it very much!
He collected his expression, put away the queen's scroll, and got back to business with the messenger:
"Father fell ill. This is a strange thing. How could he fall ill with the protection of the dragon veins of the country? Moreover, he has been ill for so many days and has not improved.
But this is mostly God's will. God is telling me that it's time for me to succeed! "
The envoy bowed his body, and his tone sounded serious, but at first glance it sounded like he was laughing:
"Succession is a major event. The prince is already orthodox, but he still needs some great achievements to convince everyone. Otherwise, there will be many ministers and generals in the court, and the other princes will stand."
"The existence of the Wang lineage with a different surname is a fishbone stuck in the throat of my Tianji royal family. It has been stuck there for several generations, and it is left for me to pull it out.
After pulling it out, no one can criticize the prince anymore! "
While talking, the prince wanted to take out the picture scroll of the queen to look at. Her beauty is a graceful and gorgeous flower, and she is also an addictive drug poppy.
He took a sip of tea to calm down, and continued to confirm things with the messenger, because the time was getting closer.
"The sword fairy who protects Chu Mingkong, can you deal with it? When Chu Mingkong entered Beijing, she was the one who fought all the way in. Those princes who wanted to swallow the Xiling territory all sent their treasures to die. Taxi came, but they were all folded."
"Everything is in order, His Royal Highness is at ease...
However, the emperor always likes to draw up imperial edicts in advance and store them in Zongzheng Temple, and his actions are unreasonable. I heard that the prince's orthodox matter has been carefully considered and handed over to Zongzheng Temple. Does the prince know what is going on? "
After thinking about it, the prince suddenly remembered what the messenger said:
"The emperor's uncle at Zongzheng Temple told me that the emperor saw that the second daughter of the Shangguan family was talented and intelligent, and that she was easy to control as a girl. Don't worry about her becoming popular. You can support her in the court for her own use, balance the forces in the court, and don't let anyone The party dominates.
Shangguan Rong... is not bad, she looks good enough to be the crown prince's concubine, but it's a pity that she still lacks taste. "
The messenger understood what it meant.
The best way to gather and control is actually marriage.
Since it was intended to be used by the royal family and to stay in the capital, who else would it be if it wasn't betrothed to the prince? Could it be given to those princes who will go outside to become kings in the future?
"The old man heard Deputy Commander Gao mention the second daughter of Shangguan, saying that she has been in close contact with Chu Shizi recently, and asked someone to inquire about the healing method of Jiyuan's injury in private."
The prince snorted coldly. Although he didn't have a deep relationship with Shangguan Rong, he already regarded her as his own. She was his future helper in the court.
"Hmph, she just sympathizes with a wild dog that is about to die of illness, Chu Mingkong's position as the heir is not quite right, but my things really shouldn't be so close to Chu Mingkong.
After a while, I asked Uncle Huang to inform the Shangguan government of the decision reserved by the emperor in advance, so that Shangguan Rong can stay at home and learn how to serve her husband's family, and don't go out again. "
For the throne, he has a kind of urgency.
Father is seriously ill, that position is very close to him, soon he won't have to continue rebooting and guarding his body!
But Shangguan Rong can increase his weight as a prince, so it's better to keep it in his hands as soon as possible!
"Let's tell Uncle Huang again that the Crown Prince has decided to use his own marriage to make his father happy. He will marry the second lady of Shangguan's family in the near future, but he is planning to keep everything simple and show frugality."
From now on, the prince felt that he had to make real preparations for his ascension to the throne, and he would not leave any verbal excuses for criticism.
That position was very close to him.
"Messenger, do you know which day is auspicious in the near future?"
"The day after tomorrow, the day when the Sword Immortal will fall, and the day when Chu Mingkong's protection will be lost."
The prince thought deeply, and felt a bit abrupt and hasty: "The day after tomorrow, it will be too urgent, but it will indeed be a good day."
--------------
Shangguan.
The Lantern Festival was being celebrated outside, and Shangguan Mingzhe gave all the servants in the mansion a short vacation, letting them go out to play all night by themselves, leaving only a few necessary servants.
This year's Lantern Festival was organized by the top leader of the Shangguan Mansion, everything is normal now, Shangguan Mingzhe enjoys a quiet time and rests at home.
However, some unexpected news arrived tonight.
Shangguan Mingzhe was confused, looking at the teacup in his hand, thinking that he accidentally drank too much and had hallucinations.
Just now the father-in-law sent by the Zongzheng Temple to read out the handbook reserved by the emperor said,
His second daughter, Shangguan Rong, is going to become a princess?
And the date of marriage is set in a few days?
Keep everything simple?
Leaving aside the abrupt timing of this time, he himself would not keep a concubine simple, but if his daughter was married as a princess, would he be simple?
Although it's a good thing to have a princess in my family, but no matter how you look at it, how perfunctory it is, it seems like a joke.
Shangguan Mingzhe approached and asked:
"Father-in-law, are you serious? Could it be that you are making fun of me? Marriage is such an abrupt matter. Just let me know and get married in a few days."
The father-in-law himself felt that the royal marriage was a big deal, but he was only responsible for spreading the word, and he was not allowed to make rash comments:
"No kidding, it was Prince An from Zongzheng Temple who asked me to come over and read it out, saying that the emperor had intended this for a long time, so he asked King An to choose a day to arrange this marriage for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
But these days, I have been thinking about the safety of the emperor's dragon body, so I forgot about the crown princess.
This time I came here to let you know. When you talked to outsiders later, you said that Zongzheng Temple had already notified the Shangguan family, but the emperor suddenly fell ill, and you didn't say anything.
So, this matter is not abrupt at all, it has been prepared long ago, and it is just concerned about the emperor's side. "
This is forced to have an early notice!
Shangguan Mingzhe is a person who attaches great importance to the appearance of the mansion, let alone the wedding of the crown princess, there must be an ordinary banquet and celebration, right?
Everything from simplicity to a meal for the two families is gone.
Moreover, the crown prince's cultivation has not yet reached the point where he can give up his Yuanyang body, and most likely the official bridal chamber will have to be reserved for him to ascend the throne.
So what is this?
At that time, when someone asks, when did your family have a princess, why is there no news at all, didn't you send me an invitation?
Shangguan Mingzhe got a headache just thinking about it, but his father-in-law drew a big cake for him, saying how good the princess is, she will become a queen in the future, so what.
Shangguan Mingzhe quickly accepted it, and accepted the other party's venting statement.
......
Accompanied by her maid Caicai, Shangguan Rong bought several sets of skirts and returned home, and soon heard the news from her father.
She really wanted to ask if this was a joke, but her father was a person who attached great importance to appearance. He regarded the appearance of the family as his life, and he valued outsiders more than family members.
This kind of words came out of his mouth, not like a joke.
The traces of joy accumulated in the dress shop, only the seriousness on the face is left in a blink of an eye:
"So father, are you selling me to be a princess without saying a word?"
"This is the meaning of the royal family, and it is a handwritten order left by the emperor! Do you think there is room for refusing to negotiate as a father? Do you think our family is the family of the five surnames!!"
--------
PS: The transitional chapter, I will add another update later, I guess I won’t have to add it later, and I haven’t saved much of the manuscript Orz
Chapter 58 The system is hiding something from me!
the next day.
Dr. Baili came, even faster than expected.
There was a sense of urgency to meet other men without her husband's back, even though Chu Mingkong knew that what she was eager for was the bottle of Golden Crow Heart Essence.
She was more cautious when going out during the day than at night, with a gauze hat on her head, a veil inside to cover her face, and an unremarkable gray robe on her body.
When Chu Mingkong saw her outfit, he almost thought that she had come to the palace to clean up the plague and malaria, otherwise why would it be so "grand".
Today, I have to find a way to squeeze out some degenerate filial piety, because after upgrading the filial piety system a few levels, now I have to consume degenerate filial piety if I want to break through the system level.
