little princess

Chapter 3

Liu Wei really had no choice.He knew that He Shao's purpose was definitely not as simple as supporting himself to the top position, and the purpose of the cooperation between King Liang and He Shao was also confusing...but he had no choice.There is only one way to leave the palace, he can only use it as a life-saving straw, and hold on tightly.

The group went on the road again, and soon brought Liu Wei to the Ripple Palace.

He Shao took Liu Wei out of the sedan chair and led him into the side hall.

"Your Majesty, Princess Jincheng is here." He Shao lazily shouted as soon as he stepped through the door.

"Come here and show me." A strange man's voice came from not far away.

Liu Wei was nervous.In fact, he didn't see his own father several times a year, and every time he stood in the crowd and watched from afar on important occasions.This is the first time that I have come into contact with the emperor so closely.

He didn't dare to look up, but walked over to salute first, just about to bend down, but the person not far away said: "Don't make these empty salutes, Yan'er, come to the father quickly, let the father take a good look." It's very intimate, like an ordinary father.

So Liu Wei took a deep breath, got up and walked over.He looked up and saw a middle-aged man in a white dragon robe inlaid with gold sitting there beside the Eight Immortals Table not far away, smiling lovingly and waving at him.

Emperor Wanfeng is only 40 years old this year, with a thin body and soft and delicate appearance.His cheeks are a little thin, and when he smiles, there are obvious wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and mouth. He looks a little old-fashioned, and his eyes are shining with wisdom, which makes him exude a solemn aura that only a superior person can have.

Liu Wei's heart was beating non-stop, he followed the emperor's guidance and sat down beside him.

He Shao stood at the door and ordered the eunuch to serve the dishes.Soon a large table of Eight Immortals was filled with various dishes.

During this process, the emperor kept looking at Liu Wei with loving eyes. He first asked if Liu Wei's health was getting better, and then asked about Liu Wei's life in Wangxian Palace.Liu Wei answered truthfully with a nervous mood. He kept his head down. It was the first time that he was sitting so close to his biological father. He was a little afraid that the other party would find out that he was abnormal.

He Shao leaned against the doorway, looking lazy again, with a lazy smile on his face, looking at the father and daughter (son) motionless.

After Liu Wei finished speaking, there was a brief silence.He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the emperor, he just felt that the other party was looking at him.

After an unknown amount of time, the emperor reached out and patted Liu Wei's hair.

"You are also eighteen," the emperor said with a sigh, "my daughters are all outstanding. If your mother is still alive, it will be very gratifying to see such a beautiful daughter... Sigh... I have treated you badly." lost her..."

Liu Wei didn't know why, so he raised his head cautiously, but saw that the emperor's eyes seemed to be shining with water.

"Your Majesty is being sentimental again." He Shao appeared at the right time, walked up behind the emperor with ease, and squeezed the emperor's shoulder. "The imperial doctor said not to be too happy or sad, it is not good for your health."

The emperor wiped his eyes with his sleeve, then turned to look at He Shao, who also looked down at him.

The way the two looked at each other and smiled gave Liu Wei a sudden and inexplicable feeling of creepiness.

The meal was delicious, and the emperor just chatted with Liu Wei about some daily routines, and didn't say anything special.After eating, the emperor looked tired, and was supported by the eunuchs to go back to rest. Before leaving, he ordered He Shao to send the princess back.

He Shao accepted the order with a smile, watched the emperor leave the room with Liu Wei, and then walked in front of Liu Wei.

Liu Wei recalled the slightly abnormal interaction between the two at the dinner table, and took a step back with some resistance.

But He Shao acted as if he didn't see Liu Wei's reaction, he just smiled and said: "I send the princess back."

When he walked to the door, He Shao suddenly followed and stood beside Liu Wei, and whispered in a voice that Liu Wei could only hear: "Be careful."

Liu Wei glanced at him, too lazy to talk to him.

Back at Wangxian Palace, the first thing Liu Wei did was to ask Changrong to go with him to the warehouse to find something.

Relying on his memory, Liu Wei found a painting in a box in his poor little warehouse.

The picture scroll unfolded slowly, and a graceful and luxurious woman appeared in front of Liu Wei and Changrong.

Changrong just watched silently, with no expression on his face.

"This is the portrait of Empress Jingxian left by the Empress Dowager to Your Highness."

Liu Wei nodded and carefully looked at the beautiful woman in the painting.Although the portrait can't describe all the charm of the person [-]%, it can still paint [-]% to [-]%.The eyebrows of the woman in the painting are like lacquered eyes in distant mountains, and those beautiful hanging eyes... are very much like the emperor's favorite guard.

A little tired, he dropped the scroll, and Liu Wei dragged his heavy body back to sleep.

At the same time, the sleeping hall of Lianyi Palace was filled with fragrance, and only a candle was burning in the corner.The light in the room was very dark. The emperor just drank the medicine, lay on the dragon bed, and waved to someone standing not far away.

A certain person walked over with his hands behind his back. Under the dim light, his beautiful face looked uncertain.

Looking at the man's face, the emperor was lost for a moment.But he quickly came back to his senses, and smiled at his favorite guard: "He Shao, I have a headache, come here and rub it for me."

He Shao let out a breath, and dragged out his voice like a complaint: "Oh, why am I—" He walked to the dragon bed and sat down while talking.

The emperor was originally lying on his side leaning on the pillow, but now he slid onto He Shao's lap familiarly, with his head resting on He Shao's leg.

He Shao gently pressed the emperor's temple, and the emperor soon relaxed his eyebrows, showing a satisfied expression.

The emperor said: "Only He Aiqing understands me best, and this skill is just right."

He Shao smirked: "Is there a reward for pinching it?"

The emperor joked: "As long as I have what Ai Qing wants, just take it."

He Shao laughed more and more silly, but stopped talking.

The emperor was pinched comfortably by He Shao, a little drowsy, but He Shao didn't speak, and the room was very quiet for a while.

Just when He Shao thought the emperor was about to fall asleep, the emperor suddenly said, "What do Aiqing think about marrying Yan'er to Prince Liang?"

He Shaodao: "King Liang is just a small vassal king, logically speaking, he is not worthy of a royal princess at all."

The emperor sighed and said: "I owe it to their mother and daughter... Now I want to marry her daughter to the feudal domain... But it is not appropriate for anyone else to use this matter."

He Shao lazily said: "Yes, yes, His Majesty's heart, I understand... In fact, I think... It may not be a good thing for the princess to marry King Liang."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, opened his eyes and looked at He Shao with interest: "How to say it."

He Shao pretended to be nervous and coughed: "Outsiders see that His Majesty has not been in court for seven years and ignored the government affairs, but I feel that although His Majesty is not in court, the affairs of the court have not been settled at all, and everything is under control. ! Now the court is chaotic and orderly, and it is all thanks to His Majesty."

The emperor was a little happy to be praised, but he remained calm.

He Shao saw the subtle changes in the emperor's expression, and continued: "It's not that the Yang family is the dominant family, but that the Su and Wang families are in check with each other. There are so many powerful families in the capital that are deeply intertwined, and no one can say that they are completely in harmony with them." The three families of King Yang and Su cleared up the relationship. Liangguo has long been a confidant of Dafeng, and the matter of abolishing the domain has been discussed for decades without any results. It is better for the capital to directly intervene in the control and take it back when the time is right in the future. But... Liang The country claims to have [-] soldiers and horses. If a girl from the capital city becomes Princess Liang, the wind direction of the court... will probably change... Of course, His Majesty is wise and mighty, so even if the wind direction changes, he can control the overall situation, right? But now there is clearly a A better choice, without changing the direction of the wind, can also increase your own assistance, why not do it?"

The emperor smiled.He did intend to let Princess Jincheng go to marry him.This eldest daughter, who grew up under the empress dowager's knees, has always been submissive. She has been suppressed by the empress for so many years and has never resisted. She is very easy to handle. However, the power of the Du family in the court has been uprooted, and she is alone in the palace. , without any support, when they arrive in Liang country, they can only listen to their own words... Of course, this is just a bad idea.King Liang has no reason not to agree to marry the princess.Princess Jincheng is not in good health, as long as she masters the strength well, she can die of illness after marrying King Liang. In this way, King Liang will take the position of the emperor's son-in-law. Even if the child is born, Princess Jincheng must be recognized as the mistress. In this way, the entire Liang Kingdom can be easily controlled.

——Princess Jincheng is just a pawn of her own.

The emperor looked at He Shao's face: "I sent someone to leak the news, and everyone outside is secretly fighting for this opportunity, but only you, Aiqing, can see clearly."

He Shao smiled harmlessly to humans and animals: "Who would make this minister the 'sycophant' of 'Israel's Servant'!"

The emperor laughed for a while, thinking of his own prince, and looking at He Shao, who was so handsome, intelligent and wise, he sighed in his heart.

"Aiqing...it would be great if Aiqing was my son..."

He Shao shook his head with a smile, but stopped talking.

In fact, because he already knew Liu Wei's special status, he planned to take Liu Wei into his pocket.The two of them are about the same age, one is the emperor's favorite bodyguard, and the other is the unfavored princess, there is nothing wrong with the combination of the two, at most it will make people who hate him jealous, and the emperor who likes him will feel more pity for him... Moreover, since he adored Princess Jincheng, he could control Princess Jincheng's actions to the greatest extent and prevent him from colluding with others secretly.No matter how you think about it, it's a good way to kill two birds with one stone... It's a pity... Liangguo is really tight-lipped, and even said that if they form an alliance, Princess Jincheng must go to Liangguo... He Shao has no choice but to retreat and ask for the next best thing , Shang Yanxiang princess who was also powerless and unknown, and left Princess Jincheng to Liang Wang.

Thinking of this, although He Shao's face did not change, his heart was tumbling. ——Once Princess Jincheng goes to Liang Country, it won't be so easy to control... I have to find a way...

After a few days, the imperial decree came down.Princess Liu Yan of Jincheng bestowed a marriage on Prince Xiao Yu of Liang, and chose an auspicious day to go to Liang State to get married.

As soon as the news came out, the entire imperial city exploded.
