Not long after, Xiao Huangmen came to pass on Cheng Shi and Mrs. Xiao, saying that General Wan and his wife were here, and the emperor asked Cheng Xiaowei and his wife to speak with them. An elegantly dressed girl who followed the servants of the Huangmen smiled and came to hold Shaoshang's hand: "The elders want to talk, the Empress asked me to lead my sister to the front hall to wait."

Shaoshang looked at the man. Xiao Huangmen, who came to pass the decree, only saw him nodding slightly behind, and she dared to agree.

The girl, with a dignified and gentle appearance, took Shaoshang and said as she walked: "My name is Luo Jitong, and my father is Luo Zhu, the captain of Changshui. Just call me Sister Jitong."

Shaoshang listened quietly and said softly: "Sister Jitong, I don't know much about the rules in the palace, and I'm afraid that the banquet later will make a fool of yourself. Tell me , who are there tonight?"

Luo Jitong smiled and said, "Don't worry, little sister, there are not many people at the banquet tonight,

just a few grown-up princes and princesses." Broken down, past life experience told her that it is better to believe in books than to have no books, and it is better to believe in people than to be dead. Never trust a stranger with your heart and heart. She is really kind and she will take care of her even if she doesn't open her mouth.

Besides, the two of them weren't behind Gong Mo, who was following a half-football team lineup. She 'fainted' when she was in a hurry. Anyway, she didn't eat a few bites of lunch at noon in order to dent the sad ribbon. Kowtow, her vigor of early hunger was wilted, and the bereaved Director Xiao gave a special look, she didn't need to look in the mirror to know that she was very convincing by pretending to be sick at the moment.

Luo Jitong carefully observed this surprisingly silent little girl of the Cheng family, and was very surprised. In front of the queen, she received many female sons of officials and eunuchs, either chattering to cover up her nervousness, or she was afraid to come out because she was so frightened. It's like this one in front of me, obviously everything doesn't make sense, but he doesn't ask a word.

It didn't take long for the group to come to the brightly lit front hall. There were already two long rows of food tables in the hall. After most of the food tables, many gorgeously dressed grandsons and daughters were seated. Shao Shang raised his eyes and immediately made a secret cut. The emperor and empress have a frugal use of wool. Look at these sons and daughters, the pearls and jade that are blinding on their bodies are put together against the light, and the giant butter candles behind can be saved. Half of it is more environmentally friendly and energy-saving!

Luo Jitong bowed himself first, and then led the young merchants to greet him. In an instant, the names and titles of a bunch of royal family members and nobles were sorted into the information storage capacity of Shaoshang like a popping cake. But she didn't panic. Speaking of which memory technology is stronger, the obligatory crammers of the Celestial Dynasty will strengthen it!

Although I don't know how many broods the emperor has lived together, there are currently only five princes and five princesses present. Among them, His Royal Highness is an old acquaintance. His short beard is still as amiable as Paige's father. The reserved and smiling young lady at the table with him should be the crown prince. Is it not yet a concubine or to save space for the banquet.

The second prince whose chin is on the horizontal line is the second prince. Without the life of the prince, he has the style of the prince. The duvet on the bed; the fourth prince is also an old face, and he smiled very friendly towards Shaoshang; the fifth prince looked like a literary youth at first glance, but looked more like a second-hand youth.

For example, when Shaoshang bowed to him, everyone nodded their heads, but he said, "Miss Cheng, your etiquette is wrong. Ah, what is the crime of infidelity in the palace?"

That's right, Ms. Wang Jie, who was present everywhere, was here today, and she laughed loudly when she heard that, "Your Highness, Younger Sister Shao Shang has not even read a few words since she was a child, and it's not easy to be like this today. Shao Shang stood up straight with

his head, and said to Luo Ji with an ignorant face: "Sister Ji Tong, am I salute wrong? Then why didn't Your Majesty and the Empress reprimand me."

Luo Jitong smiled and said, "Your Majesty and the Empress are kind, Your lack of etiquette is not your fault, and naturally it will not be your fault." Speaking of which, she also turned to the Fifth Prince and Wang Ji, "Not only that, but Your Majesty has repeatedly praised Mrs. Cheng for being righteous and sharing your worries for you. "

The fifth prince and Wang Ji immediately shut up and stopped talking. Shao Shang looked at Luo Jitong gratefully, and Luo Jitong also smiled back.

One, two, and three princesses are all married. Today, they brought their concubines, who were tall and short, handsome and ugly, back to their parents' homes to brush their faces. Their expressions were also varied. The eldest princess is a colleague when she is the concubine, the two share the same food and drink, but have no eye contact at all; the third princess is the air as a passer-by and her consort, always keeping her head at a forty-five degree angle away from the concubine; only the second princess and his wife The most normal, the two whispered and laughed from time to time, and at the same time did not forget to greet their relatives. The four and five princesses are not yet married. The former pouted from time to time, while the latter is flying and looking after herself.

In addition to them, there was also a Yuchang County Lord who had been widowed for several years. Luo Jitong said that she was the only granddaughter of the emperor's uncle. These noble ladies were too lazy to pay attention to Shaoshang because of their high status, and just nodded their heads and went to talk to themselves. Only the second princess smiled and asked Shaoshang a few words of intimacy, and took off the gold butterfly pendant around her waist as a gift. Shaoshang took it with both hands and bowed to thank him.

After a round of salutes, the young businessman is tired and has no breath, and he can't stop scolding the emperor for a dead old man with abscesses on his forehead. The fiancé of the fiance did not see any reward and kowtowed in starvation. Seeing that his blood sugar was low and he was about to die, could it be that the emperor planned to save a fortune? !

Ranked in the order of superiority and inferiority, the seat of the young businessman was arranged at the last table on the left, and Ms. Wang Ji was only one seat ahead of her. Shao Shang looked at Wang Jie and couldn't help laughing. Wang Jie tried hard not to look at her, but Shao Shang would not let this person who had embarrassed him so many times, and said softly, "Sister Aji, if I am today If you don't come, sister, are you at the bottom of the table?"

Wang Ji was furious and turned around, "You dare to laugh at me!"

"No, no, how dare I?!" Said, "This is a royal banquet. I have been lucky enough to be seated for three lifetimes. Any seat is a blessing!" The

third princess was watching her concubine's nose instead of a nose, and listening to the second daughter Wang Cheng who was next to her kept chatting. , annoyed and scolded: "What are you arguing about, is this where you are joking? How come you don't understand the rules so much, my mother has taught you for so many years! Cheng Shi, if you neglect etiquette again, I will treat you Get out!"

Wang Jie and Shaoshang shrank their necks when they heard the words. Wang Li could still swear by her blood relationship, but Shao Shang was tired of this kind of behavior, but she didn't dare to be confrontational, so she could only endure it silently, and the more she endured, the more hungry she became.

Seeing that the emperor's party was too late, Shao Shang secretly touched the kit hanging on his waist, and Alimie stuffed two pieces of cake inside, how could he find a place where no one saw him to eat this cake. The blood sugar is too low and even the imagination refuses to work. Shaoshang can only tell Gong E, who is behind him, that she is going to change her clothes. She is forced by life. I didn't expect that she would have to go to Gong's room to steal cakes. It can be seen that life is like a drama. Also TM is a torture drama!

Shao Shang went down to the corridor and held the pillar with one hand to reach his feet. After putting on one shoe, he was raising his foot to reach the other, when the bored fifth princess suddenly became playful and said in a low voice. Wang Ji smiled and said, "Ah, look at me, I'll let you out."

Then she ran over with small steps like the wind, kicked the second shoe before Shao Shang was about to reach it, and then became proud. Said: "Miss Cheng, you are so eloquent. Now let us see your skills."

It rained a while ago. At this time, the slate on the ground was wet, and Shao Shang only had shoes on one foot. , or jump over with one foot. Seeing that the Fifth Princess was standing still, no one dared to pick up shoes for Shao Shang.

Shaoshang was angry. In fact, she didn't mind jumping over to put on shoes, but the humiliation was so annoying. But she's not a child anymore. Back then, she even endured the broken mouths in the town, not to mention this little Bichi with dangling eyes and pimples on her forehead! Just wait and see, one day she will find the place back!

Shao Shang was about to hold his breath -

"What are you doing?!" A stern and solemn young man's voice suddenly burst in.

Everyone hurriedly looked up, and saw a tall and slender young man with a dark golden halo on his back, rushing towards him, his aura was overwhelming. The fifth princess and Wang Ji took a step back together, and Shao Shang was frightened and sat down on the steps down the corridor.

When the young man approached, everyone saw his face, it was Ling Budo!

"Eleven Lang!" The arrogance on the face of the Fifth Princess disappeared, and there was joy in her voice.

Wang Ji took a step forward, opened and closed her mouth in surprise, and glanced at the Fifth Princess beside her with scruples.

Ling Budo didn't even look at them, and walked straight to Shaoshang, picking up the cocked head and shoes on the way.

Shao Shang was so frightened that his heart was about to jump out of his throat, and he shouted madly in his heart, "Don't come here, don't come here". Unfortunately, it backfired. Ling Budo approached step by step. They all looked at each other in fright.

Walking up to Shaoshang, Ling Budo leaned down to grab the girl's ankle. Under the eyes of the public, Shaoshang's thick skin was not enough to be seen, and while shrinking his foot, he laughed dryly to ease the atmosphere: "...Ling You don't have to be so polite, I wear it myself! Ah..."

Who knew Ling Budo put the shoe down the porch, but instead went to catch Shaoshang's foot that was already wearing the shoe, and quickly pulled it down He dragged his shoes - Shao Shang was stupid, all the flowers around him turned pale, and the eyes of the Fifth Princess and Wang Ji were about to fall out.

Ling Budo immediately took off his boots and went up the stairs, his broad shoulders and strong arms leaned down slightly, grabbed his arms and lifted Shaoshang and walked in.

"Eleven Lang, you actually treat me like nothing!" The Fifth Princess finally came back to her senses and shouted in a sharp voice.

Ling Budo stopped, as if he had only seen her at this moment, and said lightly: "It was Your Highness, I was just about to report to the Empress, the old lady of Yue's family seems to have recovered from her illness, and the prince of Xiaoyuehou is returning from his hometown recently. You will be married to the princess in a few days." The

fifth princess' face turned pale, and her lips trembled: "You, this is all you have to say to me..."

Ling Budo thought for a while, and said, "There is one more sentence, Since the wedding date is imminent, I hope the princess will quickly clean up those things in the house..." He paused, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on his fair and handsome face, "Those rangers."

An embarrassing blush appeared on the face of the fifth princess, In a low voice, "Who told you to avoid me like a scorpion, I'm just looking for some people to play with..."

Ling Budo ignored her and took Shao Shang to continue striding into the hall.

Shao Shang felt that four eyes had been shot through her back. That's right, she wanted to get back to the scene with the Fifth Princess, but she didn't expect it to be so fast. The beam hasn't been covered yet! She stammered when she spoke at this time: "...Lord Lingling, please don't..." No matter how stupid she is, she knows that this is not a good thing. Usually, the two of you can talk and chat, and this matter must not attract attention!

Ling Buxuan walked fast and walked into the front hall in two steps. When the people in the hall saw him coming, they stood up or looked sideways from the prince and shouted, "Zisheng is here!" "Zisheng, you are here today. It's too late, and I'll be fined for three drinks!"

"Eleven Lang!" The fourth princess also stood straight there, unable to hide the joy in her eyes.

Ling Budo paused a little when he passed her, bowed his head and nodded: "I heard that the wedding date of Her Royal Highness Princess and the Prince of Xuanhou has been set, I'll go here first to congratulate you!

" . Ling Budo

also saluted Yuchang County Master who was standing beside the Fourth Princess, and said respectfully, "Your Highness is well." After a few words, Ling Budo dragged Shao Shang straight to the seat of the crown prince at the top. The people who were scared by Shao Shang shivered, knowing that he could no longer follow his path, so he waved his arms and stopped: " Mr. Ling, please be careful! My seat is there..." Ling Budo's eyes were bright as stars, and he looked at her fixedly: "Do you think I will harm you?" "..." Shao Shang was stunned . Entering these beautiful eyes, she shook her head vigorously. Ling Budo smiled slightly, dragged her to the seat next to the crown prince, and pressed her to sit next to him. Shao Shang was already numb in body and mind, and those royal relatives who were too lazy to look at him just now looked at him in salvo, and they only showed some surprised expressions. "...What's going on? Does Zisheng know this little lady Cheng?" The second concubine asked the princess in a low voice.















"I'll just say, when she went to detect Zisheng's injury last time, I felt something was wrong..." The fourth prince whispered to the third prince's ear.

"Do you know about the eldest brother?" The second prince went to see the prince dissatisfied.

How could the fifth prince's performance be missing at such a time? He stared openly at the girl beside Ling Budo and smiled maliciously: "Zisheng, this little lady Cheng feels pretty good, thinking it's better to accept her. Entering the palace..."

"No need to think about the fifth prince." Ling Budo looked at the fifth prince coldly, "She is married again."

"Ah?" The fifth prince said in surprise, "Didn't she just retreat from Mr. Lou today? Are you close ?"

"That's right." Ling Budo said lightly, "Yes, I can marry her." As

soon as these words came out, it was like pouring hot oil on cold water, and the entire front hall was blown up in an instant, and the room was full of people. It was an unbelievable face, and everyone was shocked. The Crown Prince stood up first, and said, "What did you say?!"

"How is this possible?!"

Yuchang County Master was so lost that he couldn't stand, and everyone including Luo Jitong was speechless for a long time in astonishment.

Shaoshang almost lost her temper, and now she doesn't care about the nonsense, she pulls Ling Budo's sleeve hard, and pleads in a low voice: "...Ling Lingling...don't get excited, don't be for the sake of You've ruined your life by taking the lead for me! Actually, I don't have anything to do, so you have to be generous in helping others!" The

third prince heard this from behind and couldn't help but snort.

Ling Budo turned his head and glanced at the third prince coldly, and was about to retort, when he heard a burst of hurried footsteps and a dignified and surprised voice from the side - "Zisheng is serious!"

Everyone saw that the emperor was coming, a One quickly bowed down.

The emperor shook off a few people behind him, stepped forward to face Ling Budo and said in surprise: "Can you take what you said just now?"

Ling Budo raised his head and said solemnly, "Report to Your Majesty, this is true. I ask Your Majesty to act as the elders. I will propose to Cheng's family."

The emperor's face was rosy and beaming, and he continued: "That's natural, that's natural! I will decide for you! Haha, haha..." He was reserved and reserved, but he laughed loudly at this time, which shows that he was indeed happy. pole.

"Cheng Qing, Cheng Qing..." The emperor shouted back, "Come forward!"

Cheng Shi, who was dumbfounded behind, was pushed by Xiao Huangmen, and he stumbled forward.

The emperor hugged his arm affectionately: "Zi Sheng was raised by me before he was ten years old, and he is no different from my father and son. Today, I will temporarily propose a marriage for him on behalf of his father, what is Cheng Qing's opinion?! "Although he was asking, the emperor's voice was full of emotion.

Mrs. Xiao looked anxiously, and was about to go forward to speak, but was stopped by several Xiao Huangmen intentionally or unintentionally, but the old comrade Wan Songbai saw this situation and rushed over, grabbing her righteous brother and shaking it hard: "... ...This is a good marriage, what a good marriage, what the virtuous brother is still doing, quickly agree..."

Cheng Shi was dizzy and dizzy when his righteous brother Niu Bruli shook his head, and when he raised his eyes, it was the emperor's eager gaze, he unconsciously Said: "Chen, I am very willing... Such a good marriage...!"

"Okay!" The emperor shouted, his sleeves waving as high as bat wings and cirrus clouds, he was satisfied, "This marriage is just about It 's settled!"

Ling Budo bowed and kowtowed to thank him, and then saluted the dumbfounded Cheng Shi, Cheng Shi was at a loss for what to do when he was so frightened by his dignified salute.

The crown prince was overjoyed, and he was the first to say congratulations to Ling Wuxuan, and then several princes and princess consorts...

In the midst of the noise, Mrs. Xiao finally avoided the crowd and got close to her husband: "Didn't we agree to wait at least two months? "

His Majesty and the Wan family brother looked at me with burning eyes, how could I not agree?" Cheng Shi was already dizzy.

The Empress also walked over slowly and leaned into the Emperor's ear: "Your Majesty, didn't you say that it would take at least half a month?"

"Zi Sheng looked at me with piercing eyes, how could I fail?" The emperor blushed with joy. Guang, "After so many years, Shuzi is finally willing to marry, wait another half a month, be careful that there is no shop in this village."

"This, how can this be... how can this be...?" Shao Shang lay on the ground with a sluggish heart and a stiff body.

Ling Budo slowly lifted her up, she grabbed his sleeve with her backhand, and whispered anxiously: "Don't... Master Ling, you have something to say, how can you marry a wife if you disagree! You don't want to marry Don't marry a wife, who said that people must get married? These are all outdated and ignorant concepts! It's actually good to be single, pure, long-lived, happy and comfortable!"

"You...don't want to marry me...?" Ling There is no doubt that his eyes are lonely and cold.

Shaoshang immediately softened his heart, and his tone softened: "It's not... it's not... just, this matter should be discussed in the long run." It seemed that she couldn't bear the empty window, she really didn't need such a tight seamless connection!

"I, I just got divorced this morning!" She was really depressed.

"Sooner or later, it doesn't matter." Ling Budo smiled, "Your father promised us to get married, are you happy?"

Shaoshang looked at his sincere eyes and nodded unconsciously; but she felt this matter again. The point doesn't seem to be whether Father Cheng answers or not.

Looking around, the Fifth Princess and Wang Ji who were standing at the door were gnashing their teeth, looking fierce and wanting to eat people; the Fourth Princess and Yuchang County Lord, who were staggering on their seats, looked sad-the woman's mind was still easy to guess, it was nothing more than visible. I can't eat it.

But those princes, concubines, and eunuchs, Gong'e, were all looking at themselves with bright or dark eyes, weighing the hidden meaning of this marriage. Shao Shang suddenly felt at a loss, as if he had stepped into an unknown territory, and since then everything could not be controlled by himself. .
