The reincarnation of transmigration is king

The earth dragon was set on fire in the Kangqian Palace early on. Luo Ping was afraid of the cold, so he would light smoke cages and heaters in his house after winter. The palace where he lived was always warm.

Luo Ming had only sat for a while, and his head was hot and sweaty. He took off his robe and jacket, only wearing a moon-white undershirt, with trousers loose, and leaned on the kang, listening to Luo Ping rambling about him.

"Your mother died early, so being a father means being a mother. You see, your brothers and sisters all got married and had children, but you don't even have a caring person to take care of you. You're too old, don't listen to me Saying that, I sent you so many court ladies and singers, but you didn't even look at them. Is it not to your liking? Well, you are not greedy for beauty, which is also a blessing from Dongli. But Wangfei, you have to set up one, right? , This is a newly delivered today, the portraits of the ladies of the official family, take a look!"

Luo Ming was holding the white cat in his arms, rubbing its belly, and the kitten was so comfortable that it whimpered and purred.

Seeing that Luo Ming didn't agree with this, Luo Ping simply asked Liu Jun to unfold those portraits, put them in front of Luo Ming's eyes, and show him one by one.

"This is the second lady of Liu Tongyi's family, the magistrate of Xingzhou. She is 15 years old this year. She looks good, but she is a little younger, but it doesn't matter. The girl's 16th is a good time. Now I will prepare it for you. So, when she gets married next year, she will be [-] years old." Luo Ping pointed to the woman in the portrait and explained her family background in detail.

Liu Jun bowed his head and stretched out his arms to unfold a scroll of portraits. He turned his body slightly, and the angle was just enough for Emperor Tianqing and Luo Ming to see it.

Whenever Emperor Tianqing saw him these days, he always said the same thing.Concubine Li, childbirth, woman.When Luo Ming said this for the first time, Luo Ming told him clearly that he would not marry.Luo Ping didn't take it seriously, but he became more interested in pulling the red line. When he saw Luo Ming come in today, he pulled him to talk about this big deal, and now he put out so many portraits for him to choose from.

Luo Ming looked up at Luo Ping.Luo Ping stared at him with eyes full of expectation, Luo Ming sighed and glanced at the portrait.

Well, the top-quality red sandalwood scroll, the paper is the famous Xingzhou jade version, and the paintings are also written by the famous local artist Zhao Zhilan, but this Zhao Zhilan specializes in flowers and birds, and the brushwork is freehand. He looked like a squirrel with its feathers blown up, his expression was too flying, and his face was full of arrogance.

Luo Ming thought in his mind: This painting is worth a hundred taels of silver.

I also saw the painting, and it was considered a face for Emperor Tianqing.Luo Ming said nothing, and lowered his head to tease the cat. The kitten happily chased the writing brush in Luo Ming's hand, followed the writing brush in circles, and stretched out its claws from time to time to reach the red velvet rope on the tip of the brush.

Luo Ping didn't give up, and changed another pair, "This is the granddaughter of Bai Zhiyuan's family. This year, I inquired about it. She is dignified and filial, and she looks a bit plain. suitable."

Luo Ming didn't even raise his head this time, Luo Ping was disappointed, but he refused to give up, and picked out another one, "This is the niece of Xiao Liansheng's family, the Xuanfu envoy of Zhuozhou Road. It's a pity that she doesn't have a high family background, her father is only a seventh-rank county magistrate in Xuanzhou, and her official position is too low, so she definitely can't be a concubine, Liangdi or Shuren, just pick one for her."

Luo Ming still ignored him. After Luo Ping finished speaking, he sat down slumped, and the excitement just now disappeared.

Liu Jun brought a cup of tea, Luo Ping picked it up and took a sip, insisting: "Before this year, I must settle your marriage!"

Luo Ping sat down, Luo Ming hurriedly got up, Luo Ping waved to him, and let him lie down.

Luo Ming still sat up, and after Luo Ping sat down, he slowly said to him: "Father has good intentions, a son should not disobey. My son can't explain the truth, I just want to ask my father: Is the royal father still thinking about the queen mother?"

When Luo Ping heard him mention Empress Jingyi, his heart felt sour, and he sighed: "Your mother has a bad life. After marrying a weak and useless man like me, she can't even keep a promise to stay together. I'm sorry for her."

Luo Ming then stood up and picked up the portraits just now, "Liu Tongyi, the magistrate of Xingzhou, is the nephew of Prime Minister Liu Pei. The historian's daughter."

Throwing away this one, and taking the other one, "Bai Zhiyuan, Minister of Taipusi, brother of Bai Zhixian, Taiping Hou. The ancestors left a legacy that foreign relatives can be appointed as marquises, but they cannot be involved in politics. Taipinghou's family is all engaged in business, but Most of the uncles and cousins ​​from the distant branch of his family are officials in the court, and some of them have colluded with Liu Pei's party. If I remember correctly, the wife that the queen appointed for the fourth brother is the direct wife of Bai Zhiyuan's family. Granddaughter. Hmph, what a coincidence! There are many daughters in his family, but they are all promised to our brothers?"

Luo Ping was dazed when he heard that, and opened his mouth to speak. Luo Ming had already unfolded another painting, "Even Xiao Liansheng, the Xuanfu envoy of Zhuozhou, is not simple. The son-in-law captain Qu Mingyu is from the same township, the same class as him, and studied at Jinzhou Academy together." , and the friendship of classmates, the friendship is very close, this portrait, he probably entrusted his son-in-law to bring it over. Such fast news! Zhuozhou is located on the border of West Vietnam. Sand is everywhere, vegetation is difficult to grow, and the environment is harsh, but it is an important pass, and troops cannot be withdrawn. It is no wonder that Xiao Liansheng wants to trade his niece for his future."

Luo Ming pushed the scroll away, and said softly: "Father, I don't want to be wary and scheming against the people next to me, don't force me, no matter what, I will never marry someone I don't like. "

"I don't want any beauties, and I don't want versatile people. I just want someone who can tell what's on my mind. I'm tired, and he can let me rest in his arms; I'm bored, and I lose my temper with him. He can also tolerate it with a smile; I don't want a submissive facade, nor a tool to win over courtiers. I want a real lover. He can act like a baby with me, willful with me, and even beat me and scold me when he gets angry It's all right."

"These women are all good, but Erchen doesn't like them, and they may not really want to marry me. Why bother to paint portraits like this and pile them up in one place for people to pick and choose and abuse them. You rejected them for me In this life, Luo Ming only identified Liu Yan, and when I have a result in the future, I will give him a title so that no one will underestimate him."

When Luo Ping first heard Luo Ming's words, he was still a little sour and moved.Although he was born in the royal family, he has also experienced the love between ordinary husband and wife.Luo Ping really understands the feeling of being in love with Empress Jingyi so much that heaven and man are separated forever, without a confidant.Although there are many concubines in the palace, none of them are caring. The feeling of deserted and lonely always comes from the heart, making people unable to lift their spirits.

When the prince chooses a concubine, especially now that the crown prince is not established, there will definitely be families from various forces who will take the opportunity to send girls to Luo Ming to choose.

Among them are those who want to gamble, like Xiao Liansheng and his like, once a girl gets Luo Ming's favor, as long as she blows the pillow wind, Xiao Liansheng can even be replaced by a unicorn at worst.

There are also Bai Zhiyuan and Liu Tongyi, who are clearly hostile to Luo Ming and secretly wish to get rid of him, but they still send their own daughter.Speaking of a marriage, a show of favor, both parties benefit, but it is also tantamount to pushing the daughter into a pit of fire.The fight for the crown prince has always been cruel, no matter which side can ascend the throne in the end, the prince who fails will have a tragic fate.No matter whether the girl is favored or not, in the end, she can only be rejected by the family and neglected by the defeated prince, neither side wants to see her.

Luo Ming was right. Most of the people who sent the portraits were impure. They didn't want to choose a good husband for their daughter, but they used them as bargaining chips in the balance of power, in exchange for an equivalent price. or excess profits.

Hearing Luo Ming's words, Luo Ping also felt emotional in his heart, instead of letting his child marry an official woman and cause the husband and wife to be at odds all day long, it is better to follow his heart and marry an ordinary woman.Just like when he disregarded the late emperor's opposition and married Queen Jingyi.

The more he listened to it, the more Luo Ping felt that something was wrong. He could refuse the officials who sent the portraits, and let him marry the person he liked according to Luo Ming's wishes, but the premise was that it must be a woman!

Frowning, Luo Ping darkened and stared at Luo Ming.

If someone's son wants to give a male title, no one should be in a hurry.

Luo Ping took the case and said angrily: "You are presumptuous! What are you talking nonsense? A slave, no matter how good he is, is a man, so you are so worried? You like him, keep him by your side, and treat him well. What is there to be dissatisfied with, that you still want you to give him a title? What title? Dongli only has male favorites? No male wives! Where have you read all the sage books? You really should find Ma Shizhan, Give you a good slap. How can an emperor not establish a queen or a concubine, but insist on driving the whole world to cry, and want to be a man!"

Luo Ping got angry, grabbed an ivory sculpture beside him, made gestures, avoided Luo Ming, and threw it on the low couch next to him.

Luo Ming was funny, knowing that Luo Ping was reluctant to hit his own child, so he vented his anger on this low couch, stood still, and let him hit it.

There was a muffled bang, and a corner of the ornament was knocked, which made Luo Ping's heart ache, so he rushed to check, seeing that there was nothing serious, he let out a sigh of relief.

Luo Ming couldn't help laughing, and even Liu Jun, who was standing by and waiting, couldn't help but curl his lips.

Luo Ping became angry, turned his head and glared at the two of them, "I don't believe it, I can't find a woman who suits you! What's so good about a man? His body is hard, but he is not as soft and charming as a woman, and he looks stubborn." What's so good about my stubborn temper?"

Seeing Liu Jun's expressionless face, Luo Ping felt even more resentful. Luo Ping clenched his fist and said loudly: "Xuanzhi, the beauty pageant in the world, regardless of background, as long as women from good families can be selected, and they will be sent to the capital after the first month of next year to choose a concubine for Prince Jing!"

Liu Jun tidied up the low couch, carefully swept the crumbs on it, and said calmly for a long while, "Next year is the first lunar month, so it is not suitable for marriage. To choose a concubine for Prince Jing, it is better to ask the Ministry of Rites to count an auspicious date and time."

Luo Ping thought about it, and it was really the case.Can't help being frustrated, and muttered awkwardly: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Luo Ming was grateful to Liu Jun for saving him, and this matter can only be delayed for a while.

Coming out of Kangqian Palace, Luo Ming was thinking all the way, it seems that Emperor Tianqing is determined to choose a concubine for him this time, how can he make him give up?Luo Ming really didn't have a countermeasure for a while, he said everything he had to say, and expressed his attitude, no matter how firm his attitude was, Luo Ping couldn't stand it and wouldn't listen at all.

Luo Ming walked out of the palace gate, turned around and glanced at the red wall and green tiles, and felt for the first time that having a father is sometimes not a good thing.
