Will succeed

The emperor frowned, even though he heard from Eunuch Sheng that Li Jue didn't want to accept a concubine, he still wanted to do it.What is said in the mouth is not necessarily true, so the emperor's temptation must be indispensable.

"What does the prince want to say?"

Li Jue got up, glanced around the crowd again, and said: "Although the princess is crazy, she has not died after all. I have a deep love for the princess, and I don't want to be a concubine. Even if I think about it, the ladies don't want to be here. Under such circumstances, you can enter my prince's mansion?"

Still with that gentle smile, Li Jue decided that, under these remarks, as long as she was a bit ashamed, she would not refute.

Of course, did he underestimate the ambitions of these officials, or these women's admiration for him.Almost as soon as Li Jue finished speaking, a woman stood up regardless of face, and said loudly to Li Jue: "Your Highness the Crown Prince's deep affection for the Crown Princess, the little girl is deeply moved. Because of this, the little girl really can't bear to see His Highness the Crown Prince is immersed in grief. The little girl is not talented, and she is willing to bear the infamy and enter the Prince's Mansion to provide a little help for His Highness to get out of the pain!"

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Li Jue's face almost couldn't hold back, but fortunately, even so, he still endured it.He was about to say something, but was interrupted by the emperor's hearty laughter: "Haha! What a woman who disregarded her reputation for the sake of the prince! If I remember correctly, Miss is the beloved daughter of Dali Temple Prime Minister Qi Junlu, right?"

The woman smiled shyly, how could she still have the bold appearance just now?

"If you go back to the emperor, my father is the prime minister of Dali Temple. The name of the minister is Lu Qiurong. She has admired the prince for a long time, but she heard that the prince and the princess are in love with each other. She didn't want to disturb the life of the prince. But now... forgive me Boldly, I really can't bear to see His Highness lose herself in grief, so I ask the emperor to help my daughter!"

After saying that, Lu Qiurong knelt down, and Mrs. Lu didn't stop her when she saw this. That was their purpose.If it was successful, it would be good. If it was not successful, it also meant that they had done their best for this matter, and Lu Qijun would not say anything after returning.

The emperor nodded in satisfaction, and Lu Qiurong's appearance promptly resolved the embarrassing situation for him, so he was still satisfied with Lu Qiurong.

"I really admire Miss Lu for having such a heart. In today's world, there are only a handful of people who speak out of love like Miss Lu. It's really a good job!"

The emperor gave a thumbs up, completely disregarding that Li Jue had slowly restrained his smile below.In this situation, if they don't speak anymore, the matter of accepting the concubine will probably be settled between the two of them in a few words.

"Miss Lu, what do you think you can do to make the emperor get out of the shadow of the princess?"

Li Jue raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that under such circumstances, Li Xi would stand up and speak for himself instead of making trouble.However, if someone stands up for himself, he will not refuse.

Besides, he would not admit that when he saw Li Xi protecting him, he was very satisfied.Like, back to my childhood.

The emperor looked at Li Xi with dissatisfaction in his eyes.But Li Xi didn't care at all. When he said that, he took off his usual simple disguise.

Come to think of it, from now on, he won't wear that stupid mask again.

"Prince Shu, do you know what you are talking about?"

"My son naturally knows. The emperor has feelings for the crown princess, how can any woman be able to replace the crown princess? However, since this Miss Lu has boasted such a Haikou, I just want to know what Miss Lu is. What a trick."

As soon as this remark came out, the prime minister gave Li Xi a wink, but Li Xi ignored him.In Li Xi's eyes, the prime minister was at best a cooperative person, and he didn't need to listen to his opinions.After all, he is nothing.

Lu Qiurong didn't feel ashamed when she heard the words. Instead, she showed a smile and put full confidence on her face: "The minister is dull, and knows that she is not as good as the princess, but time is always the best medicine. In the long river of time , Nothing can't be diluted. At the same time, courtiers also believe in the saying that love grows with time, and although His Royal Highness doesn't like courtiers now, it doesn't mean that His Royal Highness will never like courtiers for the rest of his life."

"Oh? Miss Lu's remarks are very incisive. However, Miss Lu has confidence in herself, but this king has no confidence in her!"

Lu Qiurong's smile remained unchanged, and he asked lightly, "Why?"

Hearing this, Li Xi pointed to Fu Li with meaningful eyes: "This man wearing a mask is the imperial brother's secret guard, and the one next to him is the imperial brother's personal servant. According to what I know, the two He is deeply loved by the emperor, if the lady wants to win the heart of the emperor, she needs to be stronger than him."

Lu Qiurong followed Li Xi's hand and saw that it was just an ordinary man wearing a mask, with no aura at all. How could he be afraid of her?

"It's just a secret guard and a servant. Although the status of the court lady is low, it is more than enough compared to the two of them. Prince Shu, don't compare the court lady with him."

Hearing these words, Fu Li didn't react at all, as if what Lu Qiurong said was not the same.But Li Jue squinted his long and narrow eyes, and a trace of murderous intent flashed across.

Li Xi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the emperor's dissatisfaction: "Prince Shu, how can you talk nonsense here at the banquet today?"

Now, everyone present could see the emperor's anger.It's not easy to dismiss a troublesome King Qi, and now there is another Prince Shu.

Although Li Xi used this opportunity to reveal his true colors, the emperor still did not allow anyone to challenge his authority in public.He had put up with King Qi once, and the emperor couldn't bear it when Prince Shu came again.

And there were quite a few people in Daming Palace who wanted to see Li Xi joke, even the Prime Minister didn't say a word for Li Xi after Li Xi ignored his signal and said that.

The others are all family members, even if their husband is on Li Xi's side, what can they do?I had no choice but to watch these big figures with heads and faces fighting each other.

Li Jue frowned. Whether it was for the childhood friendship or for Li Xi to stand up, he should say something for Li Xi.

But it was evident that he was not in need of such a thing.Ying Que, who has been silent and ignored by everyone, as a member of Li Xi, how could he allow everyone to "bully" his master like this?

Therefore, for the first time today, Ying Que spoke up: "Emperor, Ying Que also really wants to know what is the difference between this secret guard and that young servant, which makes the crown prince so fond of him, and even accepts the crown princess better than them." Strong will do."

As he said that, Ying Que glanced at Fu Li from the corner of his eye. Of course, she knew who the person behind the mask was, so there was a hint of complexity in her eyes.

The emperor obviously didn't expect Ying Que to say such a thing. Having seen Ying Que's ability, the emperor dared not underestimate it.And since Ying Que became a national teacher, Yanyang's disaster situation has not encountered any obstacles in dealing with it, and the people are very cooperative.And after that, there was no place to report natural disasters in the Later Tang Dynasty.Naturally, the emperor attributed all the credit to Ying Que.

Therefore, the emperor was always in awe of surplus and deficiency.Hearing what Yingque said, the emperor changed his previous objection and said with a smile: "Since the national teacher is very interested in this, then I will satisfy the national teacher."

After finishing speaking, the emperor turned his head, looked at everyone below, and waved his hand: "The selection of the crown prince and concubine today is based on the hidden guards behind the crown prince. All the ladies are good at anything, and you can suggest it. If Wei and Xiaosi lose, I will hand-pick her to be the Crown Princess and enter the Royal Jade Plate!"

Such a request caused everyone to discuss, but Li Jue breathed a sigh of relief.He didn't know why, but he felt that today's matter might be solved more simply.

He summoned Fu Li, whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, just leave everything to Guo Zi, he won't lose."

Fu Li's face behind the mask couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard these words, Guozi...she subconsciously looked at Guozi, but saw that Guozi had long since lost those childlike expressions outside the palace.

Now he seems to be more mature.As for the emperor's words, he didn't have the slightest worry, as if everything was under control.

Although he was puzzled, since Li Jue said that, Guozi must be different from him.Perhaps, all along, she had underestimated this handsome little brother who only seemed to know how to play around.

Over there, when Lu Qiurong heard the emperor's words, she glanced at Fu Li and the two of them, and for the first time showed a disdainful expression in her eyes: "Since this is the case, the ministers and others will definitely show their housekeeping skills. However, as women, the ministers and others They are far inferior to men in terms of force. Although these two look thin and weak, they are men after all, so..."

Lu Qiurong didn't finish her sentence, but everyone knew what she meant.Those ladies also looked at the emperor with burning eyes. What Lu Qiurong said was exactly what they were worried about.If the emperor doesn't give a solution, I'm afraid no one will come out!

"The ladies don't have to worry about it, you just need to use your strengths to do it. They need to do the same thing as the ladies, otherwise they will lose."

Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed, but Mu Xi, who had not been involved from the beginning to the end, stood up at this moment: "Your Majesty, all the young ladies are all well-trained women from various families, and they must all be outstanding. And the secret guard and Boy, how can you deal with women? Your Majesty, this is biased."

Seeing Mu Xi say this, how could the prime minister who has always been against Mu Xi be willing to remain silent?Judging from what he said, it was obvious that he was worried that the two around Li Jue would lose, and then Li Jue would have to marry a princess to go back.

At that time, the relationship between Li Jue and Hou Zhongyi will be hard to say...

"The Taifu's words are wrong. As far as I know, many men in the folk now know how to be a female celebrity. I don't know if they know other things? And the Crown Prince has not refused, so the Taifu should not jump out first."
