The girl was frightened and couldn't speak.

The third prince chuckled again and said, "Do you want to say that if it weren't for the little girl's words, I would have stayed in Nanxia and I couldn't help but be free. That little girl obviously has kindness to me! I'm too ungrateful?"

The girl didn't think of this. She was already scared and sweaty on her forehead. She was just a maid, and whatever the master said was nothing to her. She was not qualified to think about it. She still couldn't protect herself! She quickly shook her head, whether it was good or bad, it had nothing to do with her, and her own life was still in the hands of others.

The third prince frowned, as if he was displeased: "You haven't answered yet. Should I punish her? "

After serving the third prince for so long, she certainly knew that if she didn't answer, what would be waiting for her would be a more miserable fate than her companions! She said tremblingly: "It's!"

"You think it should be, too?" The third prince seemed very satisfied with the answer, and smiled calmly, saying, "Of course, that's right. If the little girl was not allowed to become an ugly monster, wouldn't I be scolded by her in vain? How could I allow such a thing to happen?"

The girl echoed: "Yes... the prince said it!"

"What is it!" The third prince suddenly said boredly: "I was going to do it myself, but that little slut was blessed. Before he could arrive in Dongtang, he was dealt with by God!"

He said, and said to the girl kneeling at her feet: "Raise your head!"

The girl raised her head tremblingly, her eyes timid and scared.

The third prince stared at the girl with his eyes narrowed, as if a poisonous snake was staring at the prey, thinking about whether to bite or not. The girl was so seen that she could hardly even kneel down, and her whole body became weak.

The third prince reached out to gesture on the girl's face and picked up the scroll again. Although he had been trampled and crushed before, the blanket in the room was thick. When the portrait was opened again, the sores on the seventeenth princess's face were still very obvious.

The third prince looked at the portrait and then the girl's face. After a long time of comparison, he threw away the portrait and started to smile.

The girl didn't know what he was laughing at and didn't dare to ask.

The third prince smiled muffled and poked the girl's face, making the girl's tears flow out but she didn't dare to hide. The third prince was already joking, and he said while laughing: "Here, here, here, here, and here... so many blisters have rotted into holes. Even if the blisters can be healed, what should a face look like in the future? Well, the rain hits the beach, and thousands of pits! Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha..."

He laughed so hard that he couldn't help himself, and said, "Who is the ugly guy, haha!"

Amid the laughter, he suddenly grabbed the girl's face, and the clanging sound rang out. The girl fell down softly without even screaming.

The third prince glanced coldly over the originally soft and charming body and said lazily: "I didn't want to kill you, but you know the most secret thing in my heart. If you know a lot, you can only die!"

He patted the dust that did not exist on his hands, stood up, and asked someone to drag the body on the ground away, and then walked towards the table on the right with interest.

There is only one room on the second floor of this loft, which is extremely spacious. The tables there are made of red sandalwood, luxurious and luxurious, with a faint fragrance that is refreshing.

The third prince casually grind some ink, spread out the paper, picked up the pen and started painting on the paper.

After a while, a picture of a beauty appeared in front of him. Who else was the eyebrows or eyes? However, what he drew was to remove the blisters on his face, the original appearance of Princess Seventeen.

After the drawing, he took a look with satisfaction.

Then, he picked up his pen and added a few strokes to the face of the painted portrait. So, the beautiful scene just now was still shy and beautiful, and the artistic conception changed drastically.

In the picture, the charming woman had a scar on her face and was bumpy.

The third prince has a very good painting skills and is very vivid. Obviously, he is also very confident in his painting skills. After taking a look at the portrait, he looked disgusted and ordered: "Call them back, I don't want to marry such ugly monsters!"

The letter from the envoy of the Eastern Tang Dynasty was originally inquired, whether to change the candidates with relatives.

His words naturally meant that there was no need to replace others.

Someone outside the window responded: "Yes!"

Suddenly, the third prince said again: "Come back!"

Another voice outside said, "Yes!"

The third prince narrowed his cold eyes, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes, saying, "I don't want the ugly monster, but Nanxia's princess can still ask for one."

"yes!"

There was no sound around him, and the third prince threw down his pen and returned to the table again. The food was still warm and the wine was still beautiful. He poured a glass and drank it slowly.

Just now, the red sleeves were filled with fragrance beside him, and he turned around and tried to destroy the flowers, but he didn't care at all.

A killing intent flashed in his eyes and he said to himself: "Can the eldest son be a lord? Do you want to be the crown prince? Do you want to be the emperor in the future? How can you do such a good thing in the world? Sneer!"

The news that the third prince agreed to replace him and marry him was soon passed from Jifenglou to the Dongtang envoy who lived in the Nanxia Royal Post.

Looking at the letter that was replied in three days, the envoy of Dongtang twitched his mouth, and Jifenglou sent letters and small items on behalf of others, which were fast and safe, but the same is true, the charges were different depending on the time.

From Dongtang to Nanxia, ​​it is thousands of miles away. If you ride a fast horse, it will take seven or eight days to speed up. So when they send the letter back, they are just a roll of unmounted paintings and a letter less than 100 words. It costs 500 taels in seven days.

For the royal family, five hundred taels are not a big deal, but for an ordinary family of four, one tael of silver can spend a month with a premium, the charge is really not low.

Now it takes three days to turn around, and it will cost at least 3,000 taels of silver. The real timeliness is the silver of the white y flower.

I don’t know how Jifenglou sent the letter from Dongtang to Nanxia so quickly.

But now he is not admiring the efficiency and means of making money. He is thinking about how to make the emperor of Nanxia agree to marry a princess and marry him.

Nanxia only has one seventeen princess of the same age as the right age, and two other young girls of six or seven years old, that's not suitable at all. What should I do?

The third prince acted in a strange and unpredictable way.

If this errand is not done well, it will have to peel off even if it doesn't die after returning, so the envoys of Dongtang also had their hair white.

After the emperor allowed Dong Tang's imperial doctor to treat the Seventeenth Princess, he guessed that Dong Tang would give up. He originally wanted to make the crown prince after his birthday.

However, the envoys of the Eastern Tang Dynasty still live here, and the seventeenth princess is like this again.

Nanxia has already deposed the crown prince, and the sons are fighting for the throne, which is not very nice after all. Although the Eastern Tang Dynasty may not be a banquet for the Heqinghai, after all, family scandals still need fig leafs, so the emperor did not want to rush to establish the crown prince at this critical moment.

The emperor guessed that the envoy of the East Tang Dynasty should have a result after learning about the princess's illness. Sure enough, the envoy of the East Tang Dynasty handed over a post to the palace.

The emperor summoned the envoy of the Eastern Tang Dynasty in Wuji Hall.

The envoy of the Eastern Tang Dynasty was extremely low-key and sincere, but still wanted to marry the princess.

Seeing that they did not change their minds, the emperor responded directly without giving in this time.

It is true that Dong Tang asked to marry the princess, but knowing that Princess Seventeen looks like this and still wants to marry, it is naturally not asking to marry the seventeen. Although the emperor does not have a princess of the right age now, he still has a nieces and granddaughter. He just chooses one, and he is named the princess and marrys it.

The envoys of the Eastern Tang Dynasty received the correct letter and were very happy.

This matter must be done immediately.

The next day, the emperor set up a family banquet in the palace and summoned his children and grandchildren to the palace.

All the vassal kings had returned to the capital. Except for King Cheng who went to Jinzhou, they were all sitting in the hall at this time. Prince Liang, Prince Lu, and Prince Xin were naturally there.

King Li's eldest son asked to be crowned the prince a year ago, but he still did not come back in the vassal state.

King Li is also a virgin. Although he wished that his son could enter Beijing early and the family would take root in the capital instead of being a vassal king in the fiefdom, he still endured the pain of thinking about his son.

He knew very well that he was the emperor's youngest son and was valued by the emperor. He was appointed as the king early but stayed in the capital and stayed by the emperor's side. Those emperor brothers had long disliked him.

In the past few years, he has encountered many open and hidden arrows.

The favored prince was inevitably regarded as a thorn in his eyes by the prince when he was in a state of determination. The deposed prince, King Liang, who only likes to eat, drink and have no good face to him.

The dishes came up like the same. A palace maid was waiting to pour wine and serve the dishes. After three rounds of wine, the emperor casually mentioned the marriage of Dongtang, saying that the matter was decided, but the candidate was not decided, and everyone was there. It was better to discuss and determine which person was suitable.

The Seventeenth Princess was seriously ill and was called to the doctor on the imperial list. Everyone knew that it would be the Seventeenth Princess anymore.

At this time, when the emperor asked, King Xin wanted to speak, but the emperor glanced over the hall and said, "Yanlong, tell me!"

When King Xin saw that his father did not ask him, he asked his son. After a moment of shock, he felt aroused, and some secret joy surged in his heart.

Prince Xin was also stunned. In this situation, their grandchildren were just listening. After all, with their father on their side, where was their turn?

Except for Huangfu Yuxuan, who has been the crown prince for many years, has a position in charge and can be in the court at a young age.

When the emperor asked, the prince of the King was happy and a little nervous. He quickly put down the wine glass in his hand and saluted: "The emperor's grandfather and grandson think that this candidate must be dignified and polite, noble, and high-end. After all, he represents Nanxia's marriage and cannot lose Nanxia's face."

Isn't this nonsense? Everyone knows that this is definitely necessary, but the emperor first clicked Prince Xin and asked him to say this before.

The emperor smiled and nodded, ate a bite of the dish, his eyes turned and fell on Prince Lu: "Zong Han, tell me, let me know!"

The prince of Lu bowed and said, "The emperor's grandfather, Yanlong is right. It is better to choose a woman among the nobles, be named princess, and be sent to the marriage bride! As for the specific candidate, the grandson is not familiar with the daughter of the nobles in the capital and dare not recommend it randomly!"

The emperor asked the two princes in a row. King Li looked deep. King Xin, Lu, one lowered his eyebrows and shook the light in his eyes. The other used to drink to suppress the strange color in his eyes. How could the father ask about his relatives? He was clearly examing the imperial grandson, why did he get the imperial grandson? That was related to what they guessed. The emperor has not yet determined which prince to be the crown prince, so he is examing the third generation.

Didn't you see him asking the prince of Lu, did you believe the prince?

This time there was no Lao Wu, and there was no Prince Cheng, so the father completely excluded Lao Wu.

However, if you want to say that the exam is not considered a test, it is just an extremely simple matter, and it can also be understood as the emperor is taking the opportunity to get close to his grandchildren!

The emperor said: "Can Yanlong be familiar with it?"

Prince Xin's eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "The Emperor's Grandfather, it is a grace given by the Emperor's Grandfather. The Emperor's Grandfather can choose one of the daughters of the right age. I believe that no matter who he chooses, that noble daughter will be happy to serve the country!"

Prince Lu's eyes grew deeper. He usually got close to his cousin, but he didn't see that his rectum was so irritable that he was pretending, but he didn't pretend in front of his grandfather at this time.

The emperor looked at the grandsons and smiled amiably, saying, "Although I can really make the decision on this matter, I still have to voluntarily!"

What he said about voluntaryness is of course not that a woman voluntarily, but that of the woman's family who went there.

The emperor's eyes fell on Huangfu Yuxuan and said, "Yuxuan also said that you have grown up in the capital. You are more familiar with the noble ladies in the capital than your two cousins!"

Huangfu Yuxuan had drunk quietly before, and at this time he calmly said: "Grandfather, the two emperor brothers think that women from noble families are good. The grandson thinks that ordinary noble women are not suitable, so they should be chosen from the royal family!"

"Yeah, let's talk!"

Huangfu Yuxuan said: "I heard that Dong Tang's envoy was asking for marriage for the third prince of Dong Tang. This third prince of Dong Tang is the legitimate younger brother of the Prince of Dong Tang. It is said that his literary talent is elegant, handsome, and has such an extraordinary background. The envoy of Dong Tang will inevitably inquire about the identity behind the woman sent to marry. If he is an ordinary noble woman, he will probably make Dong Tang feel that I, Nanxia, ​​have no sincerity. The marriage between the two countries is for diplomatic relations. Wouldn't this be counterproductive?"

The emperor nodded and was about to speak, Huangfu Yuxuan said again: "The emperor's grandfather asked and the grandson dared to suggest that it would be better to choose a princess from the royal family!"

The emperor raised his eyebrows and said somewhat surprised: "Seeing you said that, I believe even have suggestions for the candidate?"

Huangfu Yuxuan smiled slightly and said, "The emperor's grandfather Mingjian. When the emperor's grandfather asked Han's cousin just now, his grandson was thinking about this matter. There is really a person who recommended him! If the emperor's grandfather does not think that his grandson is young and unreliable in doing things, his grandson is willing to share his worries for the emperor's grandfather!"

"Oh, how do you want to share my worries?" the emperor smiled.

Huangfu Yuxuan said: "The grandson is willing to be responsible for the entire marriage!"
