In the early morning of early summer, the rays of light scattered like broken gold. On the school grounds, a pretty and beautiful woman in a green shirt, about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a green forehead protector on her head, rode a horse with a straight posture.

He carried a quiver on his back and held a bow and arrow in his hand. The horse's hooves flew up into the sky like light flashes, splashing sand all over the ground.

Murong Yingluo's starry eyes were half-squinted, her index finger tapped the three strings, the arrow made a cold whistling sound as it penetrated the airflow, and she saw another bull's-eye shot. This was already the tenth arrow, and they all hit the same bull's-eye.

There were cheers from all around, Yingluo raised her lips with a smile of satisfaction, tightened the reins of her horse, and flew off the horse easily.

Zhen'er ran over and said, "Miss, you are really amazing! I am afraid that only General Gongyi in the military camp can surpass Miss in his archery skills."

Yingluo's expression darkened when she mentioned Gongyichu. She hated the ruthless Gongyichu who caused her death. Her fate was so unpredictable that she went back to two years ago, when Yunying was about to get married. She didn't want to mention it.

that person.

He took off the quiver in his hand and threw it directly, "Ah Mai! Pack your things properly."

Wearing a short-collared black shirt, with a bronze face and angular features, the handsome man took the quiver and said, "Miss, someone is coming from the general's palace. The Empress Dowager announces your entry into the palace. The general orders the lady to return to the palace quickly."

Yingluo frowned, thinking about the Empress Dowager's summons, and suddenly remembered that back then, her father ordered her mother to apply makeup and powder on her, dress up, and drag her into the palace.

The Empress Dowager wanted to choose a concubine for the second prince Si Wushang, but because she was in love with Gongyichu, she rejected the Empress Dowager's offer of marriage in person.

My sister is the empress of the current dynasty, and my father is the general who protects the country of Cheng Han. How can I not go when the Empress Dowager calls her?

Zhen'er saw the young lady frowning and wondered what she was thinking. "Miss, since we are entering the palace, we should go back quickly to take a shower, change clothes and freshen up."

Murong Yingluo looked at her outfit and saw that there was nothing bad about her outfit. "No need, since it was the Empress Dowager who summoned her, it would be bad if she missed the time."

Zhen'er had a troubled face and said, "Miss, if you enter the palace wearing clothes like this, you will be scolded by the master."

"What are you afraid of? If anything happens, I will be the only one to bear it." He turned to look at the young man in black clothes and said, "Ah Mai, go back to the general's mansion and tell your mother that you don't have to wait. I will go directly to the palace."

In the Qiluan Palace, Queen Murong Jinxin accompanied the Queen Mother. She followed her father's orders to lobby for her sister's marriage to Prince Zheng.

The Empress Dowager has long had a crush on Lin Manxue, the daughter of the Prime Minister. I heard from the Empress that she has also met the daughter of the Murong family. Although she is not a queen, she is still a complete beauty. However, as a concubine, she is afraid of wronging Zheng.

king.

"Princess Zheng still wants Prince Zheng to like her, and Ai Jia is just making suggestions from the side."

Murong Jinxin nodded and said with a smile: "That's what the Queen Mother said."

Her eyebrows instantly darkened. She would not have lobbied for a concubine unless her father ordered her to do so.

The eunuch outside the palace called: "Prince Zheng has arrived!"

But when I saw a pure and pure figure, white jade as snow, gentle and elegant, with a little cinnabar between the brows, the movements of his hands and feet were confusing, as if an immortal had come to the world, but his face was still pale and tired.

Si Wushang nodded slightly and said, "My son, I wish to express my regards to my mother."

The Empress Dowager looked at the frail King Zheng with eyes filled with pity. God had given him a peerless appearance but a frail body.

"If you are weak, get up quickly."

Si Wushang stood up and greeted the queen again: "I've met the emperor's sister-in-law!"

"Prince Zheng is so polite!"

Murong Jinxin looked at Prince Zheng from the corner of his eyes. Such appearance was probably rare in the world, but it was a pity that he was too weak. His father asked a concubine to match Prince Zheng, which was really high.

The Empress Dowager's eyes were kind and she said: "Prince Zheng, in a few days it will be your birthday. You see, Yu'er is already five years old, and you haven't gotten married yet. The Ai family is always thinking about you."

Wushang frowned slightly and said: "Mother, my son is weak, so we should discuss this matter in two years."

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager's brows were filled with gloom, becoming increasingly gloomy and a bit tough, "You said the same thing two years ago, the Ai family has already chosen a candidate for you, and today we must choose a concubine for the Ai family.

.”

At this time, the eunuchs outside the palace reported: "Murong Yingluo, the daughter of the general, requested to see the Empress Dowager."

"As soon as I said that, people arrived. They moved really fast. Come in quickly!"

Yingluo lowered her eyes slightly and walked into the palace with slow steps, "My daughter Murong Yingluo meets the Empress Dowager and is a thousand years old!"

When Murong Jinxin saw Yingluo coming with such makeup, she looked displeased. Damn it, you girl! She will ruin her father's good deeds. It's over! Prince Zheng will not fall in love with her.

The Empress Dowager was also stunned. She had seen the daughter of the Mu family before, so how could she be dressed like this today? This clearly meant that she did not take the Ai family seriously.

However, a subtle light flashed in Si Wushang's eyes. Ordinary women always dress up when entering the palace, but this woman came in a riding outfit. That old fox Murong Xuan wanted to marry his daughter to him, so she dressed like this

It looks like he is playing hard to get!

"Get flat!"

"yes!"

The look in the corner of Yingluo's eyes showed the displeasure in the eyes of the Empress Dowager. In order not to give her father an excuse, she explained: "I was in the military camp just now and was in a hurry. I was afraid of delaying the Empress Dowager's important matters. There are many

Discourteous!"

Saying this, the Empress Dowager felt much more at ease, but this woman was so far from being a good match for Prince Zheng that she had been abandoned.

Yingluo felt a probing gaze looking at her. It must be Prince Zheng. Could it be that he could still like her when she was dressed like this? When she regretted her marriage, he married Lin Manxue, the daughter of the prime minister.

.

And she knew very well that King Zheng was not weak. In his previous life, King Zheng and Gongyichu were equally matched opponents. But why did her father have to marry her to King Zheng?

Seeing that Murong Yingluo ignored him, Si Wushang withdrew his eyes. He didn't want to agree to the emperor's request at first, but it seemed that this girl from the Mu family didn't want to marry him.

After a while, Lin Manxue, the daughter of the Prime Minister, came to visit the Empress Dowager. Lin Manxue had obviously dressed up carefully. She looked well-educated and beautiful, and the Empress Dowager was very satisfied.

However, she promised the queen that she would let Prince Zheng make his own choice, and even if she said it, she would not say it back. I believe Prince Zheng had the same thoughts as me, so the daughter of the Mu family was more than masculine but not feminine, so she was not a good choice for a wife.

The corners of the Queen Mother's lips turned soft and she said, "Prince Zheng, you must marry a virtuous wife, so you should choose one of the two women to be your concubine."

Si Wushang stood up. He had already decided to agree to the emperor's proposal, "Mother, I have decided to marry the daughter of General Murong."

The Empress Dowager could not believe her ears and asked, "You want to marry the daughter of the Murong family?"

Si Wushang's voice was very low, panting slightly, and he seemed tired but said firmly: "However, my body is weak, and General Murong's daughter is very strong in martial arts. With me teaching you by my side, my body will definitely make great progress."

The Empress Dowager couldn't hide her disappointment, so she spoke out her words. Prince Zheng was finally willing to marry a wife, and he chose her himself.

"Okay! The Ai family will give Yingluo, the daughter of the Murong family, to Prince Zheng as his wife, and the marriage will be completed on a selected day!"

This result is not unusual for Yingluo, but she doesn't understand why the two kings of Zheng chose her.

He was about to refuse, but he paused. In his previous life, he loved Gong Yichu deeply, but now he was his enemy that he hated with all his heart. What reason did he have to refuse again?

Turning around, she saw her sister Murong Jinxin and told her to thank her quickly. Her father had always hoped that she would marry Prince Zheng. He must have also seen Prince Zheng's power.

Whatever! Since fate allows me to choose again, I hope I won’t make the wrong choice this time.

All thoughts were fleeting. Yingluo stepped forward with a respectful look on her face and said, "My maid, I would like to thank the Empress Dowager for the marriage!"
