Regarding being summoned by the palace early this morning, and also called Zifeng together, King Xiang felt something was wrong. Based on his understanding of Emperor Jingtai after years of getting along with him, something must have happened today.

Finally, after drinking tea for an hour in the side hall, he had the will to meet the emperor, King Xiang put down the teacup in his hand, and walked into the imperial study with Luo Zifeng.

"My humble minister sees the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

"Exemption, peace, and a seat."

After King Xiang and Luo Zifeng entered the imperial study together, Emperor Jingtai never took his eyes off Luo Zifeng. The more he looked at him, the more satisfied he became. If such a person becomes Jingrong's consort, he will definitely be able to Be good to her, and with the military power in her hands, the rest of her life as a daughter can be considered secure.

"I don't know why the emperor summoned you today?" King Xiang glanced coldly at Eunuch Chen, who wanted to wait for him to be seated. He didn't want to stay in this place for too long during this sensitive period. He noticed it just now, Emperor Jingtai This old guy, did he set his mind on his younger generation again?

Even though the other party's icy gaze was not directly projected on him, Emperor Jingtai still felt chills down his spine. There was really nothing he could do about it. Sure enough, what happened back then cast a great shadow on him, and now he is taking every step of the way.

"Prince Xiang should take your seat first, don't worry, if your son is unwilling, I will never force you." Emperor Jingtai said with a hint of self-mockery.

Hearing this, King Xiang also took a look at him, and finally gave him face, and sat on the chair. No matter what, the other party is a king, and he is a minister. complied with.

Seeing that King Xiang finally calmed down his tense aura, and sat down with a slightly peaceful face, Emperor Jingtai felt relieved, so he explained his purpose for today: "Perhaps King Xiang and the prince have heard about it, The fact that the Huns sent envoys to come, there have been many rumors in the capital recently, one of which is that the Huns intend to marry us. Looking at my descendants, nine sons and twelve daughters, Jing Rong is the only one who has not yet left the court. Jing Rong... how can I send this child to the Huns?"

Luo Zifeng was startled when he heard the words, the marriage is actually true?

Compared with Luo Zifeng, King Xiang roughly understood Emperor Jingtai's plan today, hehe, did he want to use his heir to keep Jingrong?This wishful thinking must have been played too loudly. Thinking of this, a hint of danger appeared in his eyes.

"Then how does the emperor plan to stop this matter?" King Xiang asked with a half-smile.

Such an expression?Emperor Jingtai's heart suddenly rang alarm bells, and his already firm thoughts seemed to have been shaken a little, but thinking about that poor child again, he never wanted her to feel the sorrow his mother had experienced, that's right. , at least to keep Jingrong, we must keep Jingrong.

"The son's examination paper is in my hands now. I have read it. The number one scholar in the Jinke is none other than Qing. Tomorrow, I can announce it to the world during the palace examination." As he said, Emperor Jingtai glanced at Luo Zifeng, and sure enough The other party showed joy as he thought, and since that was the case, he was half relieved, and then said what was left to say: "At the same time, I will also announce that I will recruit my son-in-law to marry Jing Rong some day. "

Sure enough... King Xiang looked at the shocked Luo Zifeng and sighed slightly. He was about to say something to reject Emperor Jingtai's decision, but was intercepted by the other party.

"However, because the other party is you, I was sorry for your mother back then because I issued a decree in disregard of her wishes, so this time I don't want the tragedy of the past to repeat itself. I will give you a day to think about it, and you can come to the Imperial Study Room and tell me your answer before the gate is locked. But I must agree in advance, the son-in-law must be the champion, and the champion must be the son-in-law. If you don’t want to, then It is to give up the position of champion."

Luo Zifeng didn't care about being the number one scholar, but she cared what would happen if she refused?

"If the humble minister refuses, who will be the champion?" God bless, it must not be Shi Yunfei.

"Shi Yunfei." Emperor Jingtai said slowly: "Although this person's status is far from that of the prince, his talent is only slightly inferior. If the prince's future power and status can be well preserved in the political whirlpool , then the powerless and powerless Shi Yunfei will well block Jingrong from the political vortex, not without surprise, both of them are the best choices for the champion and son-in-law."

When the emperor said that the number one scholar is both the son-in-law and the son-in-law is the number one scholar, King Xiang wanted to reject it straight away. It is not appropriate to be the number one scholar, but did this old guy actually consider Shi Yunfei as a candidate?If this is the case, then I can't make a decision for Zifeng without authorization. Then, Zifeng, what will be your choice?

"Let me think about it." Luo Zifeng has never found it so difficult to make a choice. Is it so?Shi Yunfei became a son-in-law under such circumstances back then?Compared to her, Luo Zifeng, the emperor would not give Shi Yunfei a chance to say no, so Shi Yunfei was already doomed to become a son-in-law when he was the number one scholar in high school. So the tragedy of his previous life was so complicated?At first, I thought it was Shi Yunfei's flattery to become the son-in-law, but now it seems that this son-in-law is just a subsidiary reward after becoming the champion, and it is also the emperor's means to keep his daughter...

Emperor Jingtai saw that his words seemed to have some effect, so he said: "Chen Yi, accompany the prince for a walk in the palace, and King Xiang will stay and talk with me for a few rounds, how about it?"

King Xiang looked at Luo Zifeng with a slightly worried face. At this moment, he can't help, so he can go out for a walk, so that he has complied with Emperor Jingtai's request. For Emperor Jingtai, he can still ask To be honest, the behavior of Zifeng's opinion was beyond his expectation, and it seemed that the resentment towards this person in his heart was a little less. However, this presented Zifeng with a dilemma. Want to know, Zifeng's final decision.

"Your Majesty, this way please." Having received the order, Chen Yi led the way in front of Luo Zifeng. The most suitable place to relax in the palace is naturally the Imperial Garden.

Luo Zifeng nodded slightly to the chief eunuch next to the emperor, and always felt that this eunuch seemed different from what he saw in the storybook, there was no sharp voice, no disgusting behavior, on the contrary, he was quiet and calm People are very at ease, the emperor's ability to judge people is really amazing.However, didn't you also misread Shi Yunfei in your previous life?No, in the eyes of the emperor, Shi Yunfei's character is not important, after all, he is looking at other things, things that can make his daughter live a free and peaceful life.

Just stop and go like this, after wandering around for more than half an hour, I finally reached the outskirts of the imperial garden. Now it is mid-spring, and it is the season when all kinds of flowers are blooming. As the most prestigious in the country, only members of the royal family and extremely The imperial garden that few officials can appreciate is naturally extremely beautiful at the moment, and there are palace ladies enjoying the scenery everywhere in the imperial garden, and Eunuch Chen skillfully led Luo Zifeng to avoid all the ladies, leading the man behind him to completely People who are not in the surrounding scenery visit this garden.

"Have you heard? The emperor intends to promise Princess Jingrong to the champion of Jinke..."

Inadvertently, Luo Zifeng, who was thinking about how to make a choice, heard such a conversation, and couldn't help but stop, wanting to listen carefully. When Eunuch Chen saw this, he just took a step back and stood behind Luo Zifeng. No words.

"Sister, how do you know, isn't this year's No. [-] pick still undecided?"

There were many female relatives in the imperial garden, Luo Zifeng couldn't tell where the voice came from, but he did hear it, sisters and so on, they were probably the emperor's concubines.

"The emperor accidentally mentioned it when he came to my place for dinner last night. Then, I told the emperor that the son of King Xiang also participated in the examination. Maybe he will be the champion this year. In this way, It's also a good match for our Princess Jingrong."

"Hehehehehe, sister, you really know how to please the emperor. How dare you say that you are a good match? Such a woman is worthy of Prince Xiang's son. Tsk tsk, sister, I bet you that if the prince of Xiang knows that he is the champion If you want to become a son-in-law by the way, you will definitely refuse on the spot, not even the champion."

"Hey, sister, you are really bad, can I bet on this too?"

Princess Jingrong?Are you living in such an environment?It's really ridiculous. You, who are an orthodox princess, are not even worthy of a prince with a different surname in the eyes of outsiders. How sad is this?

"Eunuch Chen, please take me back to the imperial study." Luo Zifeng sighed slightly, did his heart soften again?For this father-in-law, Luo Zifeng did not claim to be his son, and he spoke very politely. After all, the other party was someone who had been with the emperor for decades, and his grandfather had already told her that in the palace, he could not Arrogant, everyone has a backer who cannot be messed with.But, who is your backer, Princess Jingrong?

Eunuch Chen nodded meekly, and then led Luo Zifeng back along the same route he came from.

"The son came back so soon, have you already thought about it?" Emperor Jingtai moved his gaze from the chessboard to Luo Zifeng's face, well, the other party's expression, the ending did not disappoint him.

"The minister has decided, the number one scholar and the son-in-law have to be decided."

That night, in the imperial study room, Eunuch Chen led the two concubines into the Qianqing Palace.

"Chen and concubine see the emperor."

"You guys did a good job today, so I will let you go free as agreed."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Watching these two concubines who have not been in the palace for two years go away hand in hand, Emperor Jingtai also showed a smile on his face, Jingrong, for you, I have even done such a thing, and, That kid Luo Zifeng is really good, I am very relieved.
