"Okay, I didn't expect the queen to make this move before me." The third princess frowned but had gentle eyes, and smiled helplessly at her.

Li Zuoqing didn't show any joy at all, and replied weakly: "You are still talking nonsense at this time."

"I don't have one." Xue Zhiyu complained softly, but soon she had to put away her indecent look, and bowed dignifiedly to the king on the throne.

After the emperor finished talking about Li Zuoqing and Lin Qiwu, he began to call the three princesses by name: "Xue Qing, you are brave and resourceful, with a literary and military strategy, and although you are young, you are outstanding. If you have any wishes, you can say No problem, I will give you what I promised."

Xue Zhiyu glanced at the princess's seat from the corner of her eye.

She pondered for a moment, and the atmosphere became subtle and quiet, but she finally said seriously: "I only hope that although the two countries have different mountains and rivers, they can live together for a long time, and the wind and the moon are in the same sky."

After she finished speaking, the whole audience sighed and sighed.

I regret that she wasted such an opportunity to be directly bestowed by the emperor, but I also feel that she can set her sights on state affairs.

Li Zuoqing also did not expect that she would suddenly say such polite and serious words.

Just now I was sweating because I was worried that the other party would speak nonsense wantonly, but I didn't expect Xue Zhiyu to be quite reliable on important occasions.

But the emperor looked at her for a while, looked back and forth between the three princesses and Li Ruiqi, and asked: "Xue Qing mentioned the matter of marriage with me in a letter before the court congratulations, but is the princess you like?" Or the prince?"

The emperor's look at Li Ruiqi was too deliberate, as if he was implying something.

Not only the full house guests and officials began to speculate, even Li Ruiqi and Xue Zhiyu's expressions changed.

Now she had to say someone's name.

If it is said, then the emperor will most likely send this to the princess or prince to get married. If he does not say it, it is indirectly expressing that she looks down on the princes and daughters of the Xinwu Dynasty, which is contempt and disrespect.

At this moment, Xue Zhiyu felt a strong sense of regret that he had never felt before.

Regretting that she came to join in the excitement of court congratulations and marriage, and regretting that she met a person with a destiny that would never be possible in the future.

If you haven't seen it, you won't have any thoughts...

As soon as she lowered her head, she could meet Li Zuoqing's worried eyes.

The pair of pupils that are warmer and brighter than Wu Qi's most dazzling black jade are indeed reflecting her face, the corners of the slightly parted lips seem to be overflowing with words of worry and urging her, and the clenched hands that were still with her not long ago Holding the reins of treading snow together.

The sour and dull pain in her heart stumped her wits, making her want to pull up the eldest princess crazily and impulsively, and then tell the girl sitting on the high seat, who has clear ears and eyes and a clear heart, to poke her The emperor in pain - this is the princess she is so fond of now.

But Li Zuoqing seemed to have seen through what she was thinking, and when she raised the corners of her lips, she turned her face away indifferently.

What, I don't need you to remind me like this.

Xue Zhiyu laughed at himself.

The eldest princess is so close to her, but she is as far away as a mountain and a sea.

But even so, she was unwilling to compromise, and resolutely said: "Return to Your Majesty, I will tell my son what I have seen and heard, and I will leave it to my son to decide who to marry."

"Huh?" The emperor frowned, looking displeased.

Firstly, he was Xue Zhiyu and the successor of Wuqi Kingdom, and secondly, because of Xue Zhiyu's performance in the competition, he was more inclined to betroth his children to the three princesses.

But the meaning in the other party's words seems to be that the son who succeeds to the throne is not the third princess.

And his prince and daughter can only marry Wuqi's future king.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern! After I return to the capital, I will deliver the reply letter as soon as possible." Xue Zhiyu's attitude was quite firm, so the emperor followed her wishes and ended the topic.

When Xue Zhiyu sat back in his original position, he realized that his back was covered in sweat.

The emperor's eyes were obviously suspicious just now, but he still gave her a step down.

Fortunately so.

If she was questioned again, she would really be unable to escape this marriage.

"So it wasn't you who made the kiss." Li Zuoqing also breathed a sigh of relief.

In the hunting forest before, when Xue Zhiyu told her about choosing a marriage partner, she also acquiesced that the other party was Xue Zhiyu herself. She didn't expect that the three princesses came to join in the fun.

"Hehe," Xue Zhiyu smiled provocatively when he met her, "Guess?"

The expression of the three princesses was too unpredictable, which gave Li Zuoqing a bad feeling. She stared at the other party with wide eyes, and asked her in a low voice: "You, you are not lying——"

"Hush——" Xue Zhiyu raised a finger to stop her from continuing, then cut a piece of fat and even meat and stuffed it into her mouth, "The eldest princess should hurry up and enjoy the feast."

"Oh!" This impolite guy!

Li Zuoqing was angry, she bit the barbecue in her mouth hard, but after chewing it twice, she found...it was really delicious.

So Xue Zhiyu is right, life is short, and one should enjoy oneself in time.

So the blockage and boredom that filled her stomach were all transferred to her appetite.

And Lin Qiwu, her unmarried concubine who was formally recognized by the emperor, was sipping juice elegantly and elegantly at this moment because of the shyness of the belated girl.

She only occasionally turned her head to look at Li Zuoqing, and she even used a cup to cover her sight.

But she no longer cares about the heavenly stems around her all the time, because in her understanding, there is nothing more reassuring than the emperor's decree.

In this way, there is no obstacle between her and Lang Yu.

Let's talk about what's next, that's - do everything possible, let Lang Yu sit on the throne, and she'll be on the throne of God's Empress.

After the New Year's banquet, Li Zuoqing ushered in a [-]-day confinement, and was about to part with the three princesses.

That night, in front of the bonfire in the tent, Xue Zhiyu closed his chattering mouth abnormally, opened his eyes, and stared at her almost without blinking. Wherever Li Zuoqing went, he could feel it even when he moved. That clingy look.

"Are you staring at me like this to make me lose sleep?" When Li Zuoqing was about to rest, he sent her back.

Although the two of them are natural, it is not inconvenient to stay together at night, but after knowing the intentions of the three princesses in the morning, Li Zuoqing always felt a little awkward.

She was still awkward, wouldn't the principal culprit be embarrassed?

"Hmph," Xue Zhiyu murmured nonchalantly, "I'm going back soon, why don't you allow me to take a second look?"

? ?What is this crooked.

"If I were Dikun who has not left the cabinet, you would have been arrested by the Yulin Army now." Li Zuoqing tried to tell her about her shame, but the three princesses were so thick-skinned that it was unimaginable.

"But you are not Dikun, and you have a marriage contract, and the fiancée is not me—"

She shrugged her eyelids, looking pitiful.

Li Zuoqing yawned and persuaded: "Go back to sleep, there is everything in the dream."

"..." Xue Zhiyu pouted in dissatisfaction, stayed for a while, and asked, "Then can I go and play with you before I leave?"

"No, I'm grounded." Li Zuoqing replied very quickly.

"Then I secretly?"

"It's not allowed secretly!" Li Zuoqing put on a blanket, got up angrily and pushed her towards Xue Zhiyu's own tent, "The three princesses can take care of themselves in the future."

She thought that her fate with this person was shallow in the first place, and if she met and got along with her for a few days, her luck would come to an end.

It's just that the only thing that makes her heart move occasionally in the future is when she is confined to the palace, saying whether you don't want to sit on the throne.

After returning to the Princess Mansion, time slowed down.

All civil and military officials knew about her being grounded.

However, the emperor wanted to suppress her momentum, and at the same time bestowed a marriage on her to the daughter of the prime minister with the most power. The princess may be more valued by the Holy Majesty, after all, she has the support of the Lin family, that is, half of her hand has been stretched into the court.

It's just that I don't know what the eldest prince will do.

Li Zuoqing is better than him in every aspect of the cards now on the surface—the empress's daughter-in-law, the daughter of the prime minister's family, the ability to rectify mediocre officials, her gradually decent and polite behavior, and the shou six Rumors of the support of the prince and Princess Wuqi.

In such a situation, it is impossible for Li Zuomu to let her go easily.

Li Zuoqing had such a premonition, maybe...the emperor's foot ban was also protecting her.

But today's Princess Palace is not a place where you can spend fifteen days happily.

The only one left, Dikun'an Linlang, heard that Li Zuoqing and Lin Qiwu were given marriages, and she knew that the balance that the Princess' Palace had been maintaining had been broken.

Although she always knew that this day would come, maybe it was because Lang Yu in the past gave her too much honor and favor, which caused her such a big gap now, and she felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart.

When An Linlang went to meet her at the gate of the mansion, she saw Lin Qiwu who was three steps behind Lang Yu, smiling softly and calmly.

From that moment on, she seemed to be sinking slowly in a quagmire, unable to move anymore.

Maybe Lang Yu didn't like her in the first place, but just used her as a doll for entertainment when he quarreled with Lin Qiwu.

So a long time ago, when Lin Qiwu said she was a good-looking decoration of the princess mansion, she argued with Lin Qiwu, and Lang Yu didn't defend her.

Everyone in the imperial palace and the whole world knows that the eldest princess of the Xinwu Dynasty and the daughter of the Lin family were childhood sweethearts, created in heaven and earth, and now they are connected with each other, so there is no place for others.

Only she herself imagined that the other party was so arrogant to her because she really liked her.

"Congratulations, your wish has been granted." She said to Li Zuoqing.

The author has something to say: Li Zuoqing: My heart is bitter, but I can't shrink back.
