"Huh?" Li Shimin hummed in a long tone with no expression on his face.
Hearing Li Shimin's slightly displeased voice, Princess Qinghe was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down in front of the emperor. Her entire face was pale and she was squeaking and speechless.
I was annoyed, why had I forgotten that the hairpin was a tribute given by my father! If the other things were fine, my father would have scolded me a few times, but that gold crown hairpin was registered in the book.
Tribute!
"Father." Shu'er cried pitifully, pulling on Li Shimin's clothes, her little face full of worry for Princess Qinghe.
Seeing Princess Qinghe kneeling down, Cheng Huailiang and Fang Yiai were startled, and they looked at Li Shimin who did not dare to express his anger or anger.
Fang Yi was very upset. Why did he destroy the tribute items brought by the princess and asked Cheng Hualiang to take them away in a rude manner? Wasn't this pushing the two of them into the frying pan?
Just now Li Shimin said that Princess Qinghe had pointed her finger at someone else. If that person knew that Cheng Huailiang had hidden Princess Qinghe's things, how would the princess live in the future?
While Fang Yiai, Changsun Huan and Du He kept exchanging glances and discussing solutions, none of them noticed the reproachful look that Queen Changsun looked at Li Shimin.
Except for the officials, the rest of the people all looked like they were watching a show.
Seeing Princess Qinghe kneeling there, twisting the handkerchief in her hands, her body was shaking with fear.
Without thinking, Cheng Huailiang took out the golden hairpin from the crown of the tree that he carried in his arms, knelt down beside Princess Qinghe, held up the hairpin, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please let us give the princess's hairpin to everyone when it comes.
It was broken, and I planned to return it to the princess after it was repaired. It was not lost by the princess at will. Please don’t punish the princess."
"Didn't I say before that Yesanlang and others didn't meet the princess? How could the princess's hairpin be broken?" Li Shimin comforted Shu'er, who was a little frightened in his arms, and winked at Li Anyang to take the hairpin from Cheng Huailiang's hand.
Presenting it, he asked displeasedly.
"That's, that's because, because..." Cheng Huailiang was sweating profusely as he thought about the reason, but couldn't come up with any words.
"That's because the child was careless. When he was frightened, his hairpin got hung up by a branch nearby. Then, just now..." Princess Qinghe hurriedly said, knowing in her heart that Cheng Huailiang was definitely not willing to leave the family legacy behind.
Love is involved.
After hearing what Princess Qinghe said, Cheng Huailiang turned his head and smiled gratefully at Princess Qinghe, and said quickly, "Yes, yes, it was like that, and then it was done like this."
Fang Yiai opened her mouth and wanted to step forward, but was held back by Changsun Huan on the side. Fang Yiai turned to look at Changsunhuan in confusion.
Changsun Huan shook his head towards Fang Yiai, raised his chin, and signaled Fang Yiai to look at the expressions of the adults around him.
All the people in the group looked like they were watching a show, and some people even kept winking at Cheng Yaojin!
Damn, what on earth is going on!?
Fang Yiai looked at Changsun Huan somewhat unable to react.
Changsun Huan quietly pointed at Li Shimin who was not paying attention to them, then pointed at Cheng Hualiang and Princess Qinghe who were kneeling together, and then put the index fingers of their two hands together.
Fang Yiai suddenly felt a toothache and looked at Li Shimin, who was pretending to study the extent of the hairpin's damage seriously, with a playful smile in Li Shimin's eyes, and at Cheng Huailiang and Princess Qinghe who were kneeling below.
.
Even Queen Changsun and Cheng Yaojin on the other side looked at the two kneeling people with satisfaction!
"This person wants the two of them to get together. To put it bluntly, does it have such a bad taste?" Fang Yiai curled her lips and whispered.
Before recalling the situation when Li Shimin used the tone of a strange uncle to abduct Shu'er and wanted her to agree to marry him, combined with the situation in front of him, Fang Yi was speechless at Li Shimin's evil intentions.
Looking at the missing gold leaves on it, it didn't look like it had been stepped on or rubbed off, but rather someone had intentionally broken it off. Li Shimin frowned slightly, and gave Cheng Huailiang a meaningful look, saying in a deep voice.
He said, "Even if the hairpin is broken, it should be handed over to the inner court for repair. Why are you keeping it? Don't you know that it belongs to the princess? Aren't you afraid of damaging the princess' reputation?"
Princess Qinghe lowered her head in fear and did not dare to breathe.
Queen Changsun glanced at Princess Qinghe distressedly, looked away from Li Shimin, and coughed lightly, indicating that he had gone too far.
"I helped my future wife collect her hairpins and prepare to repair them. Is this wrong?" Cheng Huailiang said, squeezing his neck as if he was risking his life.
In one word, everyone in Lei almost fell to the ground!
Princess Qinghe looked at Cheng Hualiang beside her in astonishment.
Fang Yiai, Changsun Huan and Du He exchanged glances, and they all saw the disbelief in each other's eyes.
The three of them cursed in unison: "This girl reacts too quickly and is too courageous!"
Next to him, Cheng Yaojin had already crossed his legs proudly.
Li Shimin choked at Cheng Huailiang's words and said angrily, "What kind of unmarried couple? When did I promise Qinghe to you?"
"If Princess Qinghe is not my fiancée, why should I fight for her to the death?" Cheng Huailiang said without fear of death, "Didn't the emperor just say it in front of that Yeye Sanlang that the princess has already proposed to marry her?
Me? The emperor wants to deny it?"
Fang Yiai, Changsun Huan and Du He were speechless and sweating coldly at the same time. They all admired this guy for his shameless and arrogant level of reasoning! It was really embarrassing!
"When did I say that the person Princess Qinghe was referring to was you?" Li Shimin said with a black line in his head, secretly cursing why this guy is as unreasonable as his father? He regretted it very much, how could he give birth to a girl like Qinghe?
Are you thinking of marrying this guy?
"Is there anyone else who dares to covet my princess? Who? Who is it? Your Majesty, tell me! I will fight to the death with him!" Cheng Huailiang stood up with a roar and said angrily.
Princess Qinghe's little face is no longer pale, replaced by Feixia's face, which is full of bright red! She is a little happy, but also a little worried.
A duel? A life-and-death duel? Fang Yiai looked at Cheng Hualiang, who looked like a fighting cock, with the corner of his mouth twitching. Looking at his colorful face, he found it funny no matter how he looked at it.
"On behalf of my son, I beg the Emperor and the Queen for Princess Qinghe, and I also ask the Emperor and the Queen to grant her permission." Cheng Yaojin lifted his robe and knelt down, giving Li Shimin a step.
"General Cheng, please wake up." Queen Changsun stood up and said, stepped forward and reached out to take Princess Qinghe's hand, and said warmly, "I think Huai Liang is a reliable child. What's even more rare is that he is willing to take it seriously.
He protects Qinghe, and Qinghe also likes him. The two of them have a rare affinity for each other, isn't that right, Your Majesty?" After saying that, Empress Changsun looked back at Li Shimin and smiled sweetly.
"That's it. But if we get married, we'll have to wait a few years. Qinghe is still young." Li Shimin nodded and glared at Cheng Hualiang, who choked on his words.
"Silly boy, why are you still standing there! Why don't you thank the emperor quickly!" Cheng Yaojin slapped the giggling Cheng Huailiang and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the marriage." Cheng Huailiang said calmly.
Princess Qinghe had already hid in the arms of Queen Changsun with her face flushed, and refused to look up again.
"Hehe, father, father, just now Shu'er saw sister Qinghe and Cheng Hualiang together, well, they look a bit like the father and the queen." Shu'er said in an innocent tone.
At this time, even Empress Zhengsun's face showed a glow of flying clouds.
Amidst the bursts of congratulations from everyone, Queen Changsun said goodbye to Li Shimin tenderly, and hurried away with Princess Qinghe as if to escape.
Fang Yiai and Changsun Huan also hurriedly dragged Cheng Huailiang, who was still in the mist and foolishly happy, and quickly found an excuse to exit Zilin Pavilion.
When Li Shimin saw Fang Yiai and others turning around the stairs on the second floor, he looked at Shu'er who was looking at the backs of Fang Yiai and others with some reluctance, and whispered, "You can go if you want to play, let Fang Yiai
If you carry her with you with love, your father will not have to worry."
Shuer's eyes suddenly lit up. Seeing that Li Shimin's expression was not fake, she quickly slipped off Li Shimin and shouted loudly, "Big brother, wait for me! Shuer will go play with you too." While shouting, she lifted up her skirt.
Swinging, stepping on her little feet, she happily ran towards Fang Yiai and the others where the stairs were.
After hearing Shu'er's shout, Fang Yiai was about to step down the stairs with one foot, but she almost missed the step, causing her whole body to roll down.
Sure enough, following Shuer's voice, Shuer's figure was followed by the adults' suddenly playful looks.
Facing Li Shimin's proud gaze, Fang Yiai was itching with hatred! But she couldn't help but could only wait quietly for Shu'er to arrive amidst the low-pitched teasing of Changsun Huan and Du He.
The reason why Cheng Huailiang did not tease Fang Yiai for the first time is because he himself has not come back to his senses yet.
Fang Yiai originally planned to take Shuer down the stairs while keeping a safe distance, but unexpectedly, after Shuer ran closer, she immediately spread her hands and flew up.
What's even more disgusting is that Changsun Huan, who was clearly blocking the route, turned sideways in a very unloyal manner, allowing Shu'er to pounce forward without any hindrance.
Afraid that Shuer would really fall, Fang Yiai could only sigh, stretched out his arms and hugged Shuer's petite body. Without daring to raise his head, he jumped downstairs two steps at a time with Shuer in his arms.
Damn it, Li Shimin has done so much harm to me now! I will have a good reputation for the rest of my life!
Fang Yi wailed with love, hugged Shu'er and walked across the verandah. He kept running for a long distance, and then he stopped breathing heavily.
Seeing that Fang Yiai in front finally stopped, Changsun Huan, Du He, and Cheng Hualiang who were following behind were all holding on to the well-carved stone railing next to them and laughing non-stop!
It attracts the attention of people around you!
Xue Li just looked at Fang Yiai, who was holding Shu'er, with a smile in his eyes, but did not laugh out loud.
Fang Yiai wanted to let Shuer go, but Shuer stubbornly hugged his neck and refused to let go no matter what.
So Fang Yiai hugged Shu'er and kicked Changsun Huan, Cheng Huailiang and Du He, who were almost paralyzed with laughter.
