Chapter 67：

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 invited Cheng Xiaowei and his wife to speak with them. An elegantly dressed girl who was following behind the servants of the Huangmen smiled and took Shaoxing's hand: "The elders want to talk, the Empress asked me to lead my sister to the front hall to wait."

Shao Shang looked at the little Huangmen who came to pass the decree, only to see him nodded slightly behind, and she dared to agree.

This young girl has a dignified and gentle appearance, and said as she walked with Shaoxing: "My name is Luo Jitong, my father is the captain of the school, Luo Zhu. Companion Reader. Younger Sister Shaoshang, just call me Sister Jitong."

Shao Shang listened quietly and said softly, "Sister Jitong, I don't know much about the rules in the palace. I'm afraid the banquet later will be a shame. Who are there?"

Luo Jitong said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, there are not many people at the banquet tonight, just a few grown princes and princesses."

Never trust a stranger with your heart and heart. If she is really kind, she will take care of her even if she doesn't open her mouth. If the other party has ulterior motives, it will be even worse if she mistrusts false news.

Besides, isn't Gong Mo, who is following a half-football team behind them, she 'fainted' when pressed, anyway, she didn't eat a few bites of lunch at noon in order to dent the sad ribbon , she was kowtowing all the way on foot, her vigor from hunger was wilting, 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.

Luo Jitong carefully observed this surprisingly silent little lady 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.

The group did not walk long before they came to the brightly lit front hall. There were two long rows of food tables arranged in the hall. Shao Shang looked up, and immediately made a secret cut. The emperor and the queen have a frugal use of wool. Look at these sons and daughters, the bright pearls and jade 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 first bowed and saluted, and then led the young merchant 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 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 chin on the horizontal line is the second prince. Without the life of the prince, the prince's style was born; it seems that the third prince is not easy to offend, with a righteous face and a cold air on his body. It seems that everyone owes him two duvets; the fourth prince is also an old face, and he is also very friendly with a smile to Shao Shang; at first glance, the fifth prince looks like a young man of literature and art, and then he looks more like a young man.

For example, when Shao Shang saluted in front of him, everyone nodded, but he said neither yin nor yang: "Little lady Cheng, your manners are wrong. Ah, in the palace. What is the sin of being disrespectful?"

That’s right, Ms. Wang Ji, who is always there, is here today, and she said with a loud laugh, “Your Highness, Younger Sister Shaoshang has not even read a few words since she was a child. Today It’s not easy to do that.”

The young businessman stood up straight with his head, and said to Luo Ji with an ignorant expression: "Sister Jitong, am I salute wrong? Then why didn't His Majesty and the Empress reprimand me."

Luo Jitong smiled and said, "Your Majesty and the Empress are kind, your omission of etiquette is not your fault, and naturally it will not be your fault." Having said this, she also turned to the fifth prince and Wang Ji, " Not only that, but His Majesty has repeatedly praised Mrs. Cheng for her understanding of righteousness and sharing your worries for you."

The fifth prince and Wang Li 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 bring their concubines, who are tall, short, handsome and ugly, back to their parents' homes to brush their faces. Their expressions are 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 passerby 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 master 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.

The sweet and sweet fiancé of the thin-skinned and tender-skinned man kowtowed his head in starvation without seeing it at all. Seeing that his blood sugar was low and he was about to die, could it be that the emperor planned to save a fortune? !

According to the order of superiority and inferiority, the seat of the lesser businessman is arranged at the last table on the left, and Ms. Wang Ji is 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 the last seat?"

Wang Li was furious and turned back: "You dare to laugh at me!"

"No no no, how dare I?!" Shao Shang smiled and waved his hands again and again, and continued in a low voice, "This is a royal banquet, I have been fortunate enough to be seated for three lifetimes, any seat is available. God's grace!"

The third princess was looking at her concubine's nose instead of a nose, and listening to Wang Cheng's second daughter beside her chattering constantly, she angrily reprimanded: "What are you arguing about, is this where you are joking? How come you don't understand the rules so much, your mother has taught you for so many years! Mrs. Cheng, if you neglect the etiquette again, watch me shoot you out!"

Wang Ji 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 and his party are late, Shaoshang secretly touched the bag hanging around his waist, and Ah Li stuffed two cakes in it, how could he find a place where no one saw him to eat this What about pastries? The blood sugar is too low and even the imagination refuses to take up the job. Shaoshang can only tell Gong E behind her that she is going to change 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. TM is a torture drama!

Shao Shang went down to the corridor, holding the pillar with one hand to reach for his upturned shoes, after putting on one shoe and lifting his foot to reach the other, the bored fifth princess suddenly Playful, he smiled at Wang Ji in a low voice, "Ah, watch, I'll let you out."

Then she ran over with small steps like the wind, kicked the second shoe before Shaoshang was about to reach it, and then said triumphantly: "Miss Cheng, you are very talkative. , and now let us see the work on your feet."

Seeing that the Fifth Princess was standing still, no one dared to pick up shoes for Shao Shang.

Shao Shang was angry, in fact, she didn't mind jumping over to put on shoes, but this humiliation was too 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 is about to take a sigh of relief—

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

Everyone hurriedly looked up and saw a tall young man with a dark golden halo 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.

The young man came closer, and everyone saw his face, it was Ling Wusu!

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

Wang Li took a step forward, opened and closed her mouth in surprise, and glanced at the fifth princess beside her.

Ling Budo didn't even look at them, went straight to Shaoshang, and picked up the cocked shoe on the way.

Shao Shang was so scared that his heart was about to jump out of his throat, and he shouted madly 'don't come here, don't come here', but unfortunately it backfired. The bigger, including the surrounding palace maids, looked at each other in fright.

Walking 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 see, he shrank his foot and laughed dryly. The voice eased the atmosphere: "...Lord Ling doesn't have to be so polite, I wear it myself! Ah..."

Who would have thought that 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 down and dragged the shoe - Shaoshang is stupid , The surrounding area was 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, you treat me like nothing!" The fifth princess finally came back to her senses and shouted sharply.

Ling Budo stopped in her tracks, as if she had only seen her at this moment, and said lightly: "It was Your Highness, I was about to tell the Empress, the old lady of Yue's family seems to have recovered from her illness, and Xiao Yuehou's The prince is returning from his hometown recently, and he will be able to marry the princess soon."

Five princesses turned pale, shaking her lips: "You, are you the only thing you told me..."

Ling Budo thought for a while, and said, "One more sentence, since the wedding 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. I mean, "Those rangers."

An embarrassed blush appeared on the face of the fifth princess, and she whispered: "Who told you to avoid me like a snake, I just found some people to play with..."

Ling Budo ignored her and dragged Shaoshang to the temple.

Shao Shang felt that four eyes had been shot through her back, yes, she wanted to get back to the scene with the fifth princess, but she didn't expect it to be so fast, this Liangzi is not hot yet ! She stammered when she spoke at this time: "...Lord Lingling, please don't..." No matter how stupid she was, she knew that this was not a good thing. Usually, it's okay for two people to talk and chat. This matter must not attract attention!

Ling Buxuan walked fast, and walked into the front hall within two steps. When everyone in the hall saw him, they stood up or looked sideways from the prince and called out, "Zisheng is here! "Zisheng, you are late today, but you will be fined three times of drinking!"

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

Ling Budo stopped for a while when she passed by, bowed and nodded: "I heard that the wedding date of Her Royal Highness Princess and the Prince of Xuanhou has been set, I will go here to congratulate you first!"

The fourth princess was suddenly dumbfounded, as if she had been killed by a knife and sat back in her seat.

Ling Budo also saluted Yuchang County Master who was standing beside the Fourth Princess, and said respectfully, "The County Master is well."

"...no doubt..." The gentle and beautiful Yuchang County Lord looked perplexed.

With a few words, Ling Budo pulled Shaoshang straight to the crown prince's seat at the top. The people who were scared by Shaoshang were trembling, knowing that at this time they must not go along Now, I waved my arms and stopped: "Lord Ling, please be careful! My seat is there..."

"..." Shao Shang plunged into these beautiful eyes and shook his head vigorously.

Ling Budo smiled slightly, dragged her all the way to the seat next to the prince, and pressed her to sit next to him.

Shao Shang is already numb in body and mind, those royal relatives who didn't bother to look at him just now, salvoed their eyes to explore. Directly stunned and whispered.

"...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 can the performance of the fifth prince be missing at such a time, he stared at the girl who shrank beside Ling Budoubt, and smiled maliciously: "Zisheng, this little lady Cheng is lonely. I think it's good, I think it's better to admit her to the palace..."

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

"Ah?" His Royal Highness said in surprise, "Didn't she just quit her relationship with Lou today?"

"Exactly." Ling Budo said lightly, "Yes, I can marry her."

As soon as these words came out, like cold water pouring hot oil, the entire front hall was blown up in an instant, and the room was full of unbelievable faces. :"What did you say?!"

"How is this possible?!" The third princess couldn't hold back her indifferent face and said loudly.

Yuchang County Master lost his soul and could not stand, and everyone including Luo Jitong was speechless for a long time.

Shao Shang almost lost her temper, now she doesn't care about the nonsense, she pulls Ling Budo's sleeve hard, and pleads in a low voice: "...Ling Lingling... You must not Excited, don't ruin your own life-long event just to stand up for me! Actually, I have nothing 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 glanced back at the third prince coldly, and was about to retort when suddenly there was a burst of hurried footsteps and a majestic and pleasant voice from the side - "Zisheng's words are true!"

When everyone saw that the emperor was coming, they hurriedly bowed down.

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

Ling Budo raised his head and said sternly: "Report to Your Majesty, this is true. I ask Your Majesty to act as an elder and propose marriage to Cheng."

The emperor's face was ruddy and beaming, and he continued: "That's nature, that's nature! I want to be the master for you! Haha, haha..." He was reserved and reserved, but at this time he was actually loud Laughing, you can see that it is indeed extremely happy.

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

Cheng Shi, who was dumbfounded at the back, was pushed by Xiao Huangmen, and he stepped forward.

The emperor hugged his arm affectionately: "Zisheng was raised by me before he was ten years old, and he is no different from my own son. Today, I will temporarily take his father's place to propose marriage for him to Qing, What do you think of Cheng Qing?!" 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 behind by several Xiao Huangmen intentionally or unintentionally. On the contrary, the old comrade Wan Songbai saw this situation and rushed up and grabbed My brother-in-law shook vigorously: "...This is a good marriage, a good marriage, what is the virtuous brother still doing, quickly agree..."

Cheng Shi was dizzy and dazzled by the brute force of his righteous brother Niu, and when he raised his eyes, it was the emperor's eager gaze, he unconsciously said: "Chen, I am very willing...so good. Dear...!"

"Okay!" The emperor shouted loudly, his sleeves swung up like bat-winged cirrus clouds, and he was satisfied, "This marriage is set!"

Ling Buxuan bowed and kowtowed to thank him, and then saluted the dumbfounded Cheng Shi. Cheng Shi was frightened by his dignified salute, and didn't know what to do.

The crown prince was delighted, and he was the first to say congratulations to Ling Budo, followed by several princes and princesses...

In the midst of the noise, Mrs. Xiao finally avoided the crowd and came 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 queen also walked over slowly and leaned into the emperor's ear: "Didn't you say that it will take at least half a month, Your Majesty?"

"Zi Sheng looked at me with a burning gaze, how could I fail?" The emperor's face flushed with joy, "After so many years, Shu Zi is finally willing to get married, wait another half a month, be careful after this. The village doesn't have that shop."

"This, how can this be... how can this be...?" Shaoshang lay on the ground with a dull heart and a stiff body.

Ling Budo slowly helped her up, she grabbed his sleeve with her backhand, and said anxiously in a low voice: "Don't... Master Ling, you have something to say, how can you just say something if you disagree? What about getting a wife! If you don’t want to get a wife, don’t get married. Who says people must get married? These are all outdated and ignorant concepts! It’s actually quite good to be single, pure and long-lived, happy and comfortable!”

"You...don't want to marry me...?" Ling Budo's eyes were lonely and cold.

Shao Shang immediately softened his heart and his tone softened: "It's not... It's just that this matter should be considered in the long run." It seemed that she couldn't bear the empty window, she really didn't need to be so tight Seamless connection!

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

"Sooner or later." 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 that the point of this matter was not whether Father Cheng answered or not.

Looking around, the fifth princess and Wang Ji who were standing at the door gritted their teeth, looking like they wanted to eat people; Guess, it is nothing more than seeing and eating.

, from now on, everything is out of your control.
