Chapter 16: Crown Princess

The occasional change shouldn’t arouse much suspicion. Liu Yin really didn’t want to be a in front of so many people. I didn’t think it before, but when she saw the appearance of Princess Qiyang just now, she knew that she usually looks like How stupid, I can't bear to look directly.
"The court lady has seen His Royal Highness." She bowed and saluted.
Liu Guozheng, who was next to him, had something wrong in his eyes for an instant, so he stared at the Wenwen quiet daughter in front of him, wondering if he had made a mistake.
The eyes of other ministers changed slightly. In the past, the daughter of the Liu family used to chase His Royal Highness. Many of them had seen that before, but now... Is it possible that the other party really changed their temper?
Princess Qiyang turned his head away, and a trace of irony flashed in his eyes. This Beijing woman has always liked to pretend and be feminine.
"I heard that Miss Liu was reading for the sixth princesses. A few days ago, Taifu Shen also talked to Weichen. This second Miss Liu was extremely clever and exquisite. Master Liu is really a blessing."
Following a minister's voice, others also remembered that Taifu Shen seemed to have indeed said this, and for a while they also changed a lot about this Liu family's prostitute, whether it was true or false, they just flattered it.
Hearing that, Liu Guozheng kept laughing. He hadn't seen his daughter these days, but he didn't know if she really listened to the words of the Taifu. If it was true, he would wake up with laughter in his dreams.
But Liu Yin couldn't stand the boast. Dang even glanced at the man over there and said dullly: "Where, father, don't you know, the prince brother still called me stupid a few days ago."
Seeing that his daughter was beaten back to her original form within a few seconds, Liu Guozheng immediately let out a light cough, "What a fool, how dare you talk to His Highness like this."
Liu Yin: "..."
But what she said is the truth!
Qin Yan had a faint smile on his face, and his voice was low: "Cousin is always smart."
When the words fell, Liu Guozheng was flattered. This was the first time the prince praised his daughter in front of others. The smile on his face was almost uncontrollable.
Others naturally agreed with their different minds. Only Liu Yin was standing there and hesitated. Some people could really pretend to be. He clearly scolded her for being stupid that day, but today I don’t admit it. This acting skill is better than her. it is good.
The King of Zhennan also said: "Master Liu is indeed a blessing, unlike the girl in this palace, letting her read and write is like killing her."
"Father!" Princess Qi Yang glared at each other dissatisfiedly.
Then there was another business talk. Liu Yin left here altogether, returned to his position, looked around, and suddenly hooked the six princesses next to him.
"Cousin, what's the matter? What did uncle tell you to do in the past?" The sixth princess whispered in a dignified manner.
As a princess outside, you have to maintain the royal demeanor, but Liu Yin didn't have so much scruples. He immediately moved his head and said angrily: "If I told you that your emperor brother scolded me a few days ago, would you believe it?"
When the words fell, she clearly saw a touch of surprise in the eyes of the six princesses, and then turned into helplessness, "Cousin can really laugh, and the emperor brother is such a polite person. He has never said a serious thing to me on weekdays. How can he scold me? you?"
There is another word that Princess Six dared not say. The emperor's brother would not even say a word to his cousin. How could he scold her?
She knew she wouldn't believe it. The positive images of some people were too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Liu Yin said that he couldn't shake his mouth, so he just sat alone and drank fruit wine.
This I really married to the East Palace in the future. If the prince tortured and bullied himself, I was afraid that no one would believe it, and he would think that she was talking nonsense. The more I thought about it, the more terrifying it became.
"Arrived the emperor! Arrived the empress dowager! Arrived the empress empress!"
As a shrill voice of the sounded, the hall was silent for an instant, the dancers retreated one after another, and everyone bowed and bowed, "Wei minister knocks on the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and the empress dowager Years old, Queen Empress Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!"
The voice resounded through the hall, and saw the figure of Dao Ming Huang slowly seated, and then raised his hand again, "The officials don't need to be polite."
"Xie Emperor!"
Liu Yin also got up and took their seats with everyone. Her position was very far forward, but she could see the people above, but she didn't dare to look at it, so she could only sneak a few glances, and then sat down tightly looking at the wine glass in front of her.
Sweeping around everyone in the hall, the emperor finally turned his attention to the king of Zhennan, "He Aiqing has traveled all the way to Beijing, it is really intentional."
When the words fell, everyone's eyes focused on the king of Zhennan, who immediately got up and lowered his head and said respectfully: "The emperor must not betray the weak ministers. It is the blessing of the weak ministers to wish the empress dowager a birthday. Fortunately for the minister."
Hearing that, the emperor just smiled faintly, his expression remained unchanged, his fingers kept rubbing the wine glass, but the queen mother who was covered with crane hair beside him suddenly said: "It is the king of Zhennan who has the heart, I heard that the girl Xin'er has also entered Beijing. I must go to the palace to accompany the old man in the Ai's family."
Speaking of this, Princess Qiyang also stood up and said, "Xin'er can't ask for it to speak with the Queen Mother."
Unable to distinguish between satisfaction and dissatisfaction, the dowager's back was full of amiable smiles, and the emperor next to him waved his hand to let them not be restrained.
Next, the read the gift list sent by the courtiers. The volume was very long, and I don’t know how long to read it. When everyone else moved their chopsticks, Liu Yin was also eating cakes with his head down. The birthday banquet was prepared by her aunt, and no one would poison her.
"You don't want to just eat, who in the palace is still hungry for you?"
Zhang on the side couldn't help shaking his head. The other girl was so quiet, this girl didn't look right.
It turned out that eating is not okay. Liu Yin can only put down the cakes and sit there as a lady, "Don’t eat, don’t eat, I'll just sit for a few hours."
Seeing the funny scene next to him, the six princesses could not help but move away secretly, turned their heads and lowered their voice, "I will take my cousin to the dining room later. I heard that there are roast suckling pigs there. I will definitely not starve you. of."
Hearing this, Liu Yin's eyes lit up in an instant, took a fruit and placed it on the other party's table, with a low voice, "Sure enough, my cousin is the best."
The two of them whispered softly like a child who has not yet grown up. Zhang also sighed, with a helpless smile on his face, but his eyes were complicated. She didn't know whether it was right or wrong to spoil her daughter like this. , I only hope that the Liu family can protect this girl.
It was half an hour after the gift list was finished, and it also included birthday gifts sent by envoys from various countries. It wasn't until those dancers returned to the hall that the hall slowly became lively, and Liu Yin didn't always have to suppress his throat.
After she quietly told about Princess Mingyue, the sixth princess was still a little worried, but at this point she could only deny it. Even if Princess Qiyang saw it, she couldn't do anything, and there was no evidence that they did it.
Seeing that the two little girls underneath are as good as their sisters, the queen also smiled helplessly, while looking at the queen mother next to her, she casually said: "Yin'er, this girl is not too young. No one wants this girl, but now she looks like a child."
When the words fell, the queen mother who was watching the singing and dancing only slowly lowered her eyes, her voice was blamed, "Against, this little girl is pretty good, and she looks outstanding, so you just love it and worry about it."
Speaking of this, the concubine Li over there couldn't help covering her mouth to block the irony on her face. The Queen's thoughts were barely telling the world, and she didn't look at whether Liu Yin was so reckless and worthy of the Prince.
"The court concubine also comforts his sister-in-law." The queen looked unchanged and turned her eyes on the emperor next to her. Thinking about starting a family is also a big deal."
Hearing that, the emperor took a sip of the sake without saying anything, but at this moment, the next old Yushi suddenly stood up.
"Encourage the emperor, and I forgive the veteran to talk, the eldest prince has already married the concubine, and the prince should also choose the concubine as soon as possible. The royal bloodline needs to multiply."
As the old Yushi made his voice, other ministers followed suit one after another. Liu Guo was sitting there without making a sound, as if it had nothing to do with him.
However, the King of Zhennan watched this scene thoughtfully, but he underestimated the influence of the Liu family in the court, but it was not certain that the crown prince was a deadly winner.
Listening to the advice of the people underneath, the emperor put his hand on the back of the chair, and his gaze swept across the people underneath deeply, "Oh? Can Aiqing have suitable candidates for the princess?"
There seemed to be some changes in the atmosphere in the hall. Qin Yan sat there just sipping the sake, his eyes drooping so that he could not see clearly.
Liu Yin felt that her heart was about to jump out. Looking at the ministers who were speaking, it was the first time she saw the influence of the Liu family, but at the same time she was very worried. No emperor likes this kind of persecution, right?
"Weichen thinks that Mrs. Liu's daughter has outstanding appearance and character, and he is the best choice for the princess."
Finally, with the voice of a minister, many people in that room also agreed.
"Weichen thinks that Prime Minister Lu's daughter is both talented and beautiful, and it is also a good choice."
A different voice came out, and more voices appeared. Liu Guozheng sat there still like a mountain, and looked at Prime Minister Lu from a long distance away, and soon turned his head away. The two thoughts were different.
"Princess Qiyang has outstanding virtues and is also a candidate."
A group of ministers held their own opinions. Liu Yin sat with sweat in her palms and tried to maintain her expression. She had never been so nervous in her two lifetimes, but the Zhang next to her was very sure, but she never thought that so many people would want to intervene. .
There were still many neutral factions who did not speak out, and all the dancers in the hall slowly retreated. Only a large number of courtiers were there to select the candidates in their hearts.
The people underneath were arguing. For a long time, the emperor above turned his attention to the prince, "Emperor, what do you think?"
