The crown prince of the southern kingdom and the four princes of the eastern kingdom had a long journey. The state banquet began in the afternoon. In the morning, the emperor held a palace test in the hall of Zhaohe, and pointed out the top three in the imperial examination on the spot. Therefore, to avoid the Imperial court today, ministers only need to take their families into the palace to attend the state banquet in the afternoon.

"Wow, Jingxuan. Every time I see you wearing a princess's dress, I can't help but be surprised. It's so beautiful, just like it's specially made for you."

On weekdays, Ling Jingxuan always wears simple and comfortable cotton clothes, and sometimes changes into brocade robes when he needs to support the court. As for the princess's big clothes, he has hardly worn them except when he enters the palace. Once again, seeing that he is wearing the red luxurious clothes representing his status, sikongjue can't help but be astonished. There is no one more suitable for wearing super princess's clothes than he is 。

"Ha ha You're not bad. This kind of dress is good-looking. Even if it's too troublesome and inconvenient to move, I prefer the usual dress up. "

With a smile on his face, Ling Jingxuan casually sat down in the hall. His complicated and luxurious formal dress matched his temperament, which made him more beautiful and dazzling. Even the prince of Fu could not help but give him a thumbs up. Yan Shengrui, who was close to him, was both cool and depressed. He was happy to see his daughter-in-law, but he attracted other people's attention Looking at it, he can't help but feel unhappy. If he can, he really wants to hide his daughter-in-law so that no one can see his beauty. Fortunately, his daughter-in-law doesn't wear it every day. Otherwise, he doesn't have to do anything. He's tired enough just to stand by his side and defend the ownership.

"It's said that the people of Dongguo haven't explained who they want to marry?"

Princess Yun, holding a small group, smiles at her son's daughter-in-law. They have a good relationship, and she is relieved. However, the two Dongguo princesses suddenly appear, which inevitably makes people a little worried. There is no way for her son's patience to be put there. Even if it is a side concubine, it is estimated that many people have sharpened their heads and want to marry in. The marriage between the two countries is no better than that of the other countries I'm afraid it's hard for them to refuse.

Since the founding of the United Kingdom, it is not until the imperial mother's first marriage that all the young women of the imperial family have been sent to the royal family Dongguo, the most powerful country, took the initiative to marry the princess. The emperor seemed very happy. It seemed that he wanted the second and the sixth to marry them with the ceremony of imperial concubine. However, the fourth Prince of Dongguo didn't nod. He should have had other candidates. Today, he would surely choose to speak out at the state banquet.

he sat down beside Ling Jingxuan calmly, and Yan Shengrui lowered his eyes Cold voice said, if Xiao Qi is of the right age, I'm afraid he can't escape. The rest of the princes are already a little inferior in seizing the throne. He can't choose. The rest are the top representatives of civil and military courtiers. There are only a few candidates in the mind of the fourth prince.

"Then you.

If you can, Princess Yun doesn't want to mention it in front of them, but he is afraid that his son will ignore it. Judging from the current situation, the fourth Prince is likely to love him.

"I don't want to worry about my mother. I don't intend to marry anyone except Jingxuan."

The tone seems soft, but with unquestionable strong and overbearing, he does not want to marry people, no one can force, if the East Princess insisted on marrying him, it is undoubtedly self humiliation, he will not like the emperor brother many scruples, often hurt the most important person.

Without interposing their mother and son's conversation, Ling Jingxuan gracefully picked up the tea cup and tasted the tea quietly. However, his mind was very active and pushed the dish to perform. In general, as long as the princess of the other party saw the marriage, even if the married person would take the initiative to quit or reduce his wife to a concubine, he didn't mean to be a concubine's room Those people in China had better be more sensible, otherwise he would not guarantee that the two beautiful princesses could live to the wedding night. It was not difficult for him to let one or two people suddenly die suddenly. Moreover, he could make them unable to find fault with them, and there was no reason to send troops by mouth.

"Now that you have a plan in mind, I'm at ease. But Lao Jiu, you have to take care of your face. The royal family of the Qing state can't be underestimated."

Princess Yun nodded. They, whether they like it or not, have become their lifelong responsibility to protect the royal face.

"Well", this is also his responsibility. Yan Shengrui has no objection. The royal family symbolizes a country, and its face is like the dignity of the country. In ordinary times, they can fight with each other. In front of other people, they must strive to maintain the dignity of the country.

"The east country is also funny. It is obvious that it has a long-standing feud with us. The two countries do not talk about military confrontation or much harmony. As long as a small opportunity, a large-scale war may break out. But at this time, they sent two princesses to make peace. Isn't it obvious that they would die? People with bad brains will believe them. "

Sikong Jue disdained to turn his lips away. He did not believe that the eastern kingdom was only for peace. The so-called "peace" was to bring peace to the two countries and protect the people from the suffering of war and exile. Since he married into the Qing state, there has never been any dispute between the two countries. If the two princesses were replaced, I am afraid that they would lead the soldiers of the eastern * * Party in less than three months Pressure on the situation?"Did you forget that the first person they thought about was your prince? In my opinion, they were humiliated in the Western Kingdom, and the envoys who went back said it with more embellishments, so that the emperor of the eastern kingdom was furious and tried to unite with the youth to destroy the western country before destroying it? In fact, it's not hard to imagine that the East and the Qing have a long-standing feud. Once they go to war with the west, the Qing state will not look at it foolishly. They can attack the east country before and after sending troops through the marriage relationship with the west country. Therefore, before that, they must appease Qingguo and send two princesses to show their greatest sincerity. If they can persuade Qingguo to go to the West together It's better to send troops. In terms of national strength alone, the western state is certainly stronger than the Qing state. If the east country and the Qing state destroy the west country together, the idiots can see who is stronger and who is weaker, and their intention lies in this. "

Ling Jingxuan said it casually, but unexpectedly, he said all the ideas of Dongguo. If the people of Dongguo could hear it, he might have thought that he was listening to the corner of the wall when they were discussing.

"Does he want to fight against China and the west? It's not that I look down on them. They can't pass the weapon test alone. China's fine steel sword is the best in the world, and any army is helpless. "

On this point, Sikong Jue is quite confident. Even Yan Shengrui can't refute him. Many years ago, his only defeat was lost to the fine steel sword of the West? Although they have refined their own fine steel swords with the help of Jing Xuan and Zhao Dalong, it will be at least three or five years before they can be popularized to the whole army as the state of the West. Before that, if they had fought with the west, there would have been only one, and they would have been defeated like a mountain.

"Look at you. The refined steel knife is not invincible. There are more weapons than the refined steel knife."

Seeing his arrogant appearance, Ling Jingxuan can't help shaking his head. He can't help but shake his head. What's the fine steel knife? He can't help but make a local cannon come out and blow him with a knife. He just doesn't want to bring the hot weapons into the cold weapons era. He doesn't want to accelerate the development of the times without authorization. There are laws of nature in nature, and man-made transitional changes will only change the world More chaos.

"You don't count that automatic rifle. It's cheating."

He thought he was talking about the special weapon of the thunder team. Sikong Jue was resolute and shameful. The power of that thing was so amazing that the refined steel knife didn't fart in front of it.

Knowing that he had misunderstood him, Ling Jingxuan didn't mean to explain. He knew some things himself. As long as he was not forced into a dead end, he would not let the things that should not appear in the world. On the contrary, if the city was destroyed and people died, he would not care so much.

"Do you think the new champion has a chance to be liked by the princess of Dongguo?"

Yan Xiaohua thought about it again and again, but he decided to say it. After all, Ling Jinghan has a good chance to become the number one scholar in this term. If he is elected, he will not be as strong as Uncle Jiuhuang to refuse. It is estimated that the Emperor may take advantage of the situation to weaken the power of the Ling family, and then it will be in trouble.

"Well?"

Hearing this, Ling Jingxuan raises eyebrows. He has never thought about this problem. If the princess of Dongguo wants to marry, she will surely find someone who holds the power. How can you see that she should not be attracted to a new champion in science?

"Wing, is there any news from the palace?"

Yan Shengrui is more direct. Calculating the time, the top three in this subject should have been born. They can't ignore any possibility.

"I just received the news that the emperor ordered the princess's younger brother to visit Hualang for Jinke."

Yan Yi, who has been named, comes out of the dark place. When he speaks, he can't help but look at Ling Jingxuan carefully. It is clear that he is the first one in the examination, but he only gets a Tanhua Lang, which makes him unhappy. The princess of his family always loves his family, which is even worse. The emperor is actually dying.

"Oh? Tanhualang, what is the examination question given by the emperor

Unexpectedly, Ling Jingxuan didn't get angry. He just picked up the corner of his lips and sneered twice. The cold light at the bottom of his eyes made people shiver slightly.

"On national policy."

He didn't dare to have any hesitation. Yan Yi obediently reported the exam questions. Ling Jingxuan touched his chin and meditated a little. Under the influence of him and Shengrui Yunhan and others, Jinghan should not give a bad answer. That is to say, the emperor deliberately did not give Jinghan the number one scholar in order to suppress Shengrui and warn him, or Jinghan also noticed something and gave it up intentionally Champion?

"Ah?? I've been sitting for a long time. It's almost time. Let's go to the palace early. "

Facing the strange gaze of the crowd, Ling Jingxuan stood up and stretched himself. All the illusions of elegance were shattered in an instant. Everyone could not help but sweat. Could he not pay attention to his own identity? If you want to do this at the state banquet, you can't be too angry.

"Well, I have something to talk to my brother in advance. Mother and concubine, I'll ask you. When Xiaowen comes back in the afternoon, please tell them that we have disappeared for no reason."

Yan Shengrui didn't feel anything wrong with his daughter-in-law. Yan Shengrui got up and hugged him. He saw that Yan Xiaohua, who was also going to enter the palace, and the king of Huajun all got up. It was time for them to fight. It was a battle without smoke and salt. I just hope that some people don't work in the dead.
