Chapter 4 The man is unwilling but the woman is unwilling

Zuo Hanchou pointed at Zuo Lingquan’s face:

"Among the dozen or so young masters in the Zuo family, you are the most handsome, and you love to wander around, making it known to everyone in the four southern counties. This is just like the Holy Emperor choosing a concubine, and there is a beauty waiting for his wife in the family. Everyone

We all know it, but you dare to send someone inferior to the palace?"

"..."

Zuo Lingquan opened his mouth, but had nothing to say.

Zuo Hanchou saw that his nephew did not refute, and his expression softened:

"I know that you like to be free and easy and don't like to be controlled. This time, you just need to do your best to choose the prince-in-law and let everyone see the stance of my Zuo family. That will be enough.

You are lucky to be selected. The eldest princess has a beautiful face and you are a talented person. If you try your best and still fail to be selected, just pretend it never happened."

Zuo Lingquan couldn't refuse anymore, so he could only nod slightly:

"I know, I'll do my best. If I'm not selected, don't blame me for not living up to expectations."

"Your Highness the Princess has a sharp eye. As long as you don't respond passively, how can she not choose you. It's getting late, so go back and have a good rest to prepare."

After Zuo Hanchou finished his instructions, he stood up to see him off.

Zuo Lingquan nodded, raised his hand to say goodbye, walked out of the study, and flew directly onto the roof.

Zuo Hanchou saw this scene, came to the window and said doubtfully:

"Ling Quan, if you don't go back to your room to sleep at night, why do you go to your room?"

Zuo Lingquan had just arrived, and he felt uncomfortable staying at his third uncle's house. He wanted to find a place to stay, but he couldn't say it clearly. He just said with a smile on the eaves:

"This is my first time in the capital. I can go out and walk around casually. I will be there on time when I choose my consort. Third uncle, don't worry."

After all, Zuo Lingquan is a man, not a young lady waiting to be married. Although Zuo Hanchou didn't want his nephew to disappear, he couldn't force him to lock him up. Thinking about it, he just warned:

"Pay attention to your appearance when you go out. Don't be like a reckless man who stabs people with a knife. Also, don't go to a brothel to hook up, at least not for the past two days."

Zuo Lingquan stood in the rain curtain holding an umbrella, looking a little helpless:

"Third uncle, I'm not good at women."

Zuo Hanchou frowned slightly, looked around a few times, and when he saw that his wife was not there, he acted like a stranger:

"Can a bad woman call a man? Don't be so prude in front of your third uncle. By the way, you can't be a good woman. You must not go to the prime minister's office in the city..."

??

Zuo Lingquan didn't know what to say. He shook his head and sighed, then disappeared into the rain curtain after a few ups and downs...

——

Under the same night.

The majestic palace city stands solemnly on the east side of the capital. The wind blows the palace lanterns and the rain hits the eaves, making the huge imperial city seem to be among the clouds and mist, revealing its beauty in the haze.

In the Changle Palace where the emperor lived, the lights were brightly lit. The eunuchs were holding fly whisks, standing quietly outside the imperial study, and the palace maids were going in and out holding scrolls.

The little emperor, who was only twelve years old, was wearing a black and red dragon robe, sitting behind a small desk and falling asleep. The half-copied books in front of him had turned into crooked crawling earthworms.

In the back of the study, the large imperial desk was piled with memorials, and the female official was carefully sorting them out next to them.

The woman, who was also wearing a red and black palace dress, was sitting upright at the desk, holding in her hand the file that the arrest department had just sent in the afternoon and looking at it carefully.

The woman is in her late teens, with a gold hairpin inserted sideways in her bun. Her eyes are like red apricots, her eyebrows are like crescent moons, and her graceful figure already shows some maturity that is unique to women.

Although no powder is applied, the softness between the eyebrows has not been reduced at all, especially the small cherry red mouth, which has a bit of natural spring.

However, the woman's eyes were as focused as a sharp sword. Even without any movement, the condescension in her bones was revealed, and she did not allow outsiders to look directly at her. As a result, her beautiful eyes in front of the lamp did not look soft at all, but rather cold.

.

The woman who could let the emperor copy books by his side and sit on the dragon table to review the papers was naturally Princess Longli Jiang Yi.

Princess Long Li is nearly twenty years old and is considered an old girl in this world. Because she has to assist her young brother, she is actually in no rush to get married.

However, as a female regent and not the emperor's biological mother, there was no precedent in history, and it was not in line with etiquette and law. There were many objections from the clan and courtiers.

The reason for recruiting the consort this time was because the clan had too many objections and had to make a compromise.

After you get married, you have a foreign surname. According to the rules, you can leave the palace and go to your husband's family. You cannot stay in the palace, so you will naturally be far away from the center of power.

Princess Longli and the young emperor are siblings. There is a huge age difference, but they have a deep relationship. How can they rest assured that their younger brother, who is only twelve years old, is left alone in the palace, ignored by the courtiers and the clan, and they definitely don’t want to get married. At this time,

I am also worried about recruiting a consort.

The green lantern on the imperial desk was swaying. Princess Long Li used the light to look at the file in her hand and rubbed her brows with some boredom:

"These people really do everything they can."

Leng Zhu, the female officer at the imperial desk, heard Princess Long Li speak, put down the file in her hand, and asked curiously:

"Princess, what's wrong?"

Princess Long Li pushed the file in front of Leng Zhu and pointed to the writing on it:

"See for yourself."

Leng Zhu picked up the file and saw what was written on it - Today at noon, Zuo Lingquan, the legitimate son of the Zuo family in Qinghe County, entered the capital for the first time. He encountered a ferocious beast causing chaos in Linhefang. In order to protect the people in the neighborhood, he fought with the ferocious beast without fear of death.

thing.

The dossier was written in great detail, including Zuo Lingquan's determination to "die for the country, and it was his duty to die for his country". He even added that after he had done the good deed, he did not want to reveal his name and was about to leave, but was recognized by his fellow villagers.

.

Leng Zhu watched it from beginning to end and didn't want to talk nonsense. He thought about it and said:

"If this Zuo Lingquan is really so heroic and courageous, he really deserves praise."

Princess Long Li had a hint of disdain in her eyes:

"With one move, all these young knights appeared. Li Cang from Jintang County bravely rescued a classmate who fell into the water on the Bailu River, Zhao Huaian from Beiya County risked his life and forced a frightened horse to stop on Xinghua Street, etc.

Wait, it happens that I don’t like to be famous, and then I was recognized by the people present and sent to my table, alas..."

This sigh was probably because he felt that calling these gentlemen hypocritical was a waste of time.

Leng Zhu slightly raised the corner of his lips and joked: "In order to win the favor of the princess, these young masters have worked hard. At present, it seems that Zuo Lingquan is the most sincere. He goes to kill the ferocious beast. If nothing else, he is brave enough.

.”

Princess Long Li has long been accustomed to this kind of behavior from the people below. She shook her head and said:

"Zuo Lingquan is only seventeen years old, and he is not a practitioner. How can he kill the ferocious beast? Cui Shanying is also present today, and there are many people from the arrest department, and the ferocious beast happens to appear on the dock. I'm afraid it's Zuo Lingquan.

As soon as Quan landed on the shore, he encountered the arresting department who was hunting down the ferocious beasts, and he conveniently asked the arresting department to add his name. The Zuo family has strong financial resources, and the minister Zuo Hanchou is well-rounded. Don't do this too easily. "

Leng Zhu also felt this was the case. When she discovered that Princess Long Li had negative emotions towards the choice of the consort, she couldn't say much, so she dropped the topic and turned to the business:

"It said that Zhan Gang Dao had problems again. This is the third time this year. Moreover, since last year, ferocious beasts have appeared in the capital, and Qihuang Valley has not given a satisfactory answer. Could it be with the princess?

It’s my guess, is there really something wrong in Qihuang Valley?”

Qihuang Valley is only thirty miles away from the capital. It is enshrined by the incense of a country, so it is natural to protect the peace and prosperity of the Great Dan Dynasty and the people. Now that the capital has begun to have ferocious beasts, it is equivalent to saying that there is no problem in Qihuang Valley when there are repeated mistakes under the nose.

, the princess didn’t believe it.

But this matter involved a lot. Princess Long Li felt that it was pointless to talk to the palace maid, so she did not respond and turned to look at the little emperor who was sleeping on his stomach:

"Come here, Your Majesty is tired. Please send him to rest."

"yes."

The nun who was waiting outside heard the sound and walked in, taking the sleeping little emperor out.

Princess Long Li closed the file, stood up and left the royal study. She wanted to go back to her bedroom, but she stopped in the corridor halfway.

Leng Zhu followed behind and saw Princess Long Li looking outside the imperial city, slightly confused:

"Princess, what's wrong?"

Princess Long Li hesitated for a moment. Thinking of the ferocious beasts in Linhe Square today, she finally felt uneasy and ordered:

"I'm leaving the palace. You don't have to follow me when I go back to the palace."

"yes."

Although Leng Zhu had doubts, he did not dare to ask any more questions. He leaned slightly behind him and quietly retreated with the palace maid.

Many thanks to the two bosses [Cat] and Mu Jianli for their rewards, as well as other bosses for their massive rewards.

There are many big guys, so I would like to thank you first, and I will write a single chapter of thanks in a few days.

As for the rules for adding more chapters, I owe about 300 chapters to the last book. If I add a zero, it will count as 3 chapters... People will definitely beat me to death, so I will calculate it as 300 chapters.

We already owe a lot, and if we promise too much, we will end up with nothing, so let’s calculate it as in the later part of the last book, thirty thousand rewards plus one more update. Guan Guan will make careful statistics to see if he can’t bear to change the rules in the later period.

, will tell you in advance.

In addition, this is a fairy novel. As a new fairy novel, Guan Guan cannot say how well it is written, but it is definitely different from other fairy tales. I don’t know if everyone can adapt to it.
Chapter completed!
