Princess Ping An, Li Chan, is twenty-three years old, her mind has been reduced by another ten points, and she is as naughty as a boy.
She is fond of tossing all kinds of weapons and father-in-law, and is the most difficult princess to marry in the Li Tang Dynasty.
Every day Emperor Shun wanted to propose marriage to Princess Ping An, but the proposed marriage partner would marry her overnight. Since the Princess of Tang Dynasty could not be a concubine, the marriage proposal would be ignored.
Most of the princes and nobles of Chang'an got married early, and even if they were unmarried, they had to choose a wife in advance.
To give Li Chan the title of Peace, I don't ask for anything else. I just want her to live a peaceful life, instead of being blown to pieces in the sky above Chang'an City one day.
Cui Zhai.
Upon hearing the arrival of Princess Ping An, Mrs. Zhang and Mother Zhang were startled at first, and then became a little unhappy.
They soon realized that the Du family was unwilling to discuss marriage with the Zhang family and had gone to the palace to find reinforcements.
The Zhang family were very confused. In the past, they only knew that Qiu Zhuo and Princess Ping An were classmates. Could it be that they had such a good relationship?
A princess is still a princess after all.
What's more, Li Chan is still a titled princess.
Even today, when the imperial power is weakening, even if Emperor Tianshun is known as Adou of the Tang Dynasty, he still needs to have the proper etiquette when facing the titled princess who is favored by the current emperor.
Although she was unhappy, Mrs. Zhang still led the Zhang family and the Cui family from the front hall through the backyard, out of the medicine shop, and to Nanxianfang Street to welcome the princess in person.
"Welcome to Princess Ping An!"
Although they did not kneel down, everyone greeted her respectfully and crossed their arms, without raising their heads to look at the princess.
Two half-foot-long Qingluan pierced the sky, dragging the golden flying sedan slowly to land in front of Cao Xingmen.
Du Qiuzao and Li Chan stepped off the Qingluan sedan one after another.
Princess Ping An always dressed as a maid wherever she went, but she could not hide her royal nobility and appearance.
Her eyebrows are like distant daisy, her eyes are like autumn water, her pretty facial features are not inferior to those of autumn, and her curves are even more prominent.
The princess looked around, and for the first time she saw Cui Yourong, whose eyebrows and eyes looked similar to those of Du Qiuzhuo, and was slightly shocked... What a sexy figure!
"No gifts, no gifts. As Qiuzao's good sister, I would like to see how her future man is doing."
When Zhang's mother heard this, she naively thought that the princess really just came to see Zhang Wei, so she took the lead and shouted:
"Princess Shengming!"
When I looked up, I was dumbfounded.
Behind the princess, in addition to Du Qiuzao, there were two men standing.
One of them is a very tall Tianlongwei wearing black gold soft armor.
The Tianlong Guards are the emperor's personal bodyguards and belong to the Forbidden Army. Individual soldiers are stronger than the Shence Army, but their number is limited, less than three hundred in total.
The Tianlong Guard in front of me is a fifth-grade martial artist with an ordinary appearance but extraordinary aura.
Obviously, he is not only here to protect the safety of the princess, but also to calm down the situation for Du Qiuzhuo.
The other person who looked familiar was Cheng Zhiang, the youngest doctor of Confucianism in the Imperial Academy.
Cheng Zhiang was a mortal, highly talented and knowledgeable, and very good at poetry. He seemed to have come to suppress Zhang Wei, who also claimed to be good at poetry.
The faces of the Zhang family members suddenly dropped.
Cui Yourong invited the princess and others into the house.
When passing by the backyard, the tall Tianlongwei suddenly stopped and looked up at the flourishing old locust tree.
The princess turned back and asked him:
"What's wrong?"
Tianlongwei shook his head.
"nothing."
This old locust tree suffered serious internal injuries, but the fist marks on its trunk were only caused by the strength of a mortal...
How could a mortal have such inner strength!
Could it be that the Du family is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?
Everyone came to the front hall.
Cui Yourong introduced the princess to the throne, and Mrs. Zhang could only bow her head and submit to the throne.
Li Chan glanced at the betrothal gift in the hall, praised it symbolically a few times, and after a while of pleasantries, got straight to the point.
"I have known Qiu Zhuo for many years. My sister is extremely talented, sweet and lovely. Her only flaw is that she is a bit arrogant."
"Over the years, I have introduced several outstanding princes to her, but she was lucky enough to reject them without even looking at them."
"Perhaps only a man as outstanding as me can make Qiu Zhuo move his heart?"
Du Qiu Zhuo held his forehead and pretended that he did not exist.
The expressions of the Zhang family members were also extremely complicated.
What the princess said was full of flaws, and it was impossible to refute...
There are indeed rumors in the palace that the prince is interested in Qiu Zhuo, but it seems that it has not been put on the agenda.
Mrs. Zhang restrained her emotions and looked at Du Qiuzao carefully. She intuitively felt that the young girl had extraordinary freshness, outstanding talent, and was one of the best among people.
"Then may I ask, apart from the princess, is there any other talented person in the world who can enter Qiu Zhuo's Dharma Eyes?"
Li Chan glanced at Zhang Wei behind Zhang's mother.
"Qiu Zhuo doesn't pay much attention to men's looks. Mr. Zhang has a handsome appearance and a figure that is not inferior to that of An Lushan Jiedushi. It makes people feel safe and secure. That's enough."
The princess said this not to ridicule Zhang Wei's figure.
Five hundred years ago, Xuanzong particularly liked the three-hundred-jin Anlu Mountain.
After the spiritual energy was revived, as expected, An Lushan's cultivation talent was the best in the Tang Dynasty, which shows Xuanzong's vision.
From then on, future generations can no longer blame fat people for being ugly.
In Xianwu Datang, this has long evolved into a kind of political correctness.
Never refuse a kiss because the other person is fat!
Li Chan complimented her and then changed the subject.
"What Qiu Zhuo values most is a man's literary, political, and military skills."
As soon as she said this, Mrs. Zhang became excited and said with joy:
"When Quanzi was young, he went out to march with his father. He read thousands of books, traveled thousands of miles, cured people's diseases, and was good at poetry. It was only after he returned to Chang'an that he began to practice Buddhism."
"Even so, Quanzi has only been practicing for a few years, and he has already become a ninth-grade Confucian master and an assistant martial artist. Even Eunuch Qiu praised him for being both civil and military, which is immeasurable."
Zhang's mother moved out of Eunuch Qiu's house inadvertently.
The whole place fell silent for a moment.
You must know that Qiu Gong's power is overwhelming. Not only does he control the Shence Army, he is also a first-level magician himself. No one in the Li family can match him.
The only thing that has prevented Eunuch Qiu from deposing the emperor and establishing a puppet is the Tianyuan Palace hanging above Chang'an City.
Eunuch Qiu didn't dare to take risks yet.
Even Li Chan, who was willing to die, was a little afraid of Eunuch Qiu, which led her to torture the other father-in-laws in the palace every day to vent her anger.
"Eunuch Qiu knows everyone, but he is a eunuch after all, so he doesn't know anything about marriage."
Mother Zhang hurriedly said:
"Who says no-"
Before she even uttered the word "understood", Madam Zhang held her back with a look.
Although it is a fact known to everyone in Chang'an that Eunuch Qiu had family affairs before entering the palace, he has never admitted it, so it is not true.
At the moment, Li Chan was able to withstand Eunuch Qiu's pressure by herself.
Looking at the entire palace, I am afraid that none of the other princes or princesses dare to be so bold.
Only Princess Ping An, who has no ambition and is willing to die, dares to do this.
Mrs. Zhang asked coldly with an old face:
"Then the princess thinks that she must be worthy of Qiu Zhuo with her literary skills and martial arts skills?"
Li Chan pouted and pointed at the two people behind him.
"It's very simple. If your martial arts is better than Huo's bodyguard, and your literary skills are better than Dr. Cheng's, then you can marry Qiu Zhuo."
Madam Zhang shook her head and sneered.
"The princess is just a good friend of Qiu Zhuo, not her parents. Wouldn't it be too much to bully my Zhang family?"
At this time, Cui Yourong, who had been silent, finally stood up and said:
"Qiuzao always listens to the princess, and Yourong does not dare to disobey the princess's will."
Mrs. Zhang:
"..."
Seeing the gloomy faces of the Zhang family, almost ready to explode, Li Chan did not want to make things too tense, so she comforted herself and said:
"Don't worry, Huo Longwei will naturally suppress his cultivation to the ninth level and try Mr. Zhang's martial arts practice."
"Dr. Cheng has never left Chang'an City and can only read dead books. He is just talking on paper, which is far different from the articles that Mr. Zhang got from traveling thousands of miles."
"you--"
Mrs. Zhang still broke out, her sixth-grade coercion spread out, covering the entire audience, and said with an old face:
"When the princess comes today, is it possible that she is relying on the royal power of the Li family to bully others and deliberately prevents my Zhang family from marrying a wife?"
Today, Eunuch Qiu's status in Chang'an City is only slightly lower than that of Cao Cao in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. As the wet nurse of Eunuch Qiu's eldest son, she had a close relationship with Eunuch Qiu before he entered the palace. Mrs. Zhang has the capital to put pressure on the princess.
Li Chan smiled, her momentum not deterred:
"I have so many excellent royal brothers who can't marry Qiu Zhuo, so naturally I want to come and have a look."
Mrs. Zhang did not expect that Princess Ping An was not as childish as the legend said.
She couldn't say that her grandson Zhang Wei was better than the prince, so she had to find another way:
"In my opinion, Miss Du's family must have had a secret affair with Mr. Chen and made a private life-long arrangement. Otherwise, why would she have risked her life to save her on the ancient ferry in Xianyang on the day of the Cold Food Festival?"
"Otherwise, why would the Cui family raise him to this day?"
"To think that the Cui family has fallen so low. Everyone from top to bottom only loves gold and jade, but the outside is ruined and the inside is trash!"
Cui Yourong's mother and daughter looked ugly, but they did not dare to break out at the moment, allowing the political opponents of the prison to seize the opportunity.
Li Chan was prepared and stood up and said:
"No, as far as I know, Qiu Zhuo's brother has not been successful in his spiritual practice and has neglected his family business. He spends all his time wandering around the place of fireworks. That's why Mrs. Cui adopted Mr. Chen."
"Once Mr. Chen becomes a ninth-level alchemist, Mrs. Cui will adopt him as his adopted son and inherit the grass business."
"Therefore, Mr. Chen and Qiu Zhuo are brother and sister. Is there anything strange about him sacrificing his life to save his sister?"
Cui Yourong's face froze.
When Princess Ping An appeared, Qiuzao didn't discuss it with her in advance!
If Mr. Chen is adopted as his adopted son, then last night...
Mrs. Zhang saw the strange color on Cui Yourong's face and immediately retorted:
"What nonsense!"
"Unless Mrs. Cui makes a contract now and takes Mr. Chen as her adopted son, who will be worthy of the Qiu Zhuo brothers and sisters, it will definitely be an act that exceeds the rules and regulations."
Cui Yourong shook his head and sighed.
"I'm sorry if I can't do it."
Zhang's mother was so happy that she jumped out immediately.
"really!"
"Well done to you, Cui Yourong!"
"Don't forget, you cultivators were all trained by the Imperial City. You committed yourself to marrying, wasting your talents, and raising a corrupt son-in-law at home, causing your daughter to make the same mistake again."
"If everything is like your family, the talents of the future people of Chang'an City are not as good as the previous generations. Sooner or later, they will be surpassed by the talents of the feudal town. In the future, they will definitely threaten His Majesty's majesty and humiliate the late Emperor's pure name."
Cui Yourong shook his head and stood up, making a decision in his heart.
"Mrs. Zhang has misunderstood. Mr. Chen is a promising husband, so how can he be interested in Qiu Zhuo?"
After he finished speaking, the whole audience was speechless.
