Jiao Luan

Chapter 437 A Clever Test of Lin Lang
Emperor Changqing looked at the ministers with the word "嗤" capitalized on his face, and all the ministers raised their sleeves to wipe off their cold sweat at the same time, feeling a sense of darkness.

Is this really my Princess Liang?

Therefore, the fifth princess successfully prevented the imperial court from wanting to push her out for a marriage.Afterwards, in the court, whoever dared to jump out and tell the princess to go to the court, the minister immediately reprimanded him righteously.

Just kidding, who dares to let such a princess go to make a marriage, when the time comes, if something goes wrong and King Xijiang is smashed with a hammer, the two countries will really die forever.

Emperor Changqing secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want his daughter to get married.

Where is Xijiang? It is a desert where not a single blade of grass grows. It is said that it is difficult to take a bath all year round. At the beginning, it was a last resort to marry the second princess. Is it necessary to send another princess there now?

Hmph, I really don't know what those ministers with wine bags and rice bags are thinking, are the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty dead?

Although Emperor Changqing thought so, he never said this to anyone.

Princesses have enjoyed all the wealth and splendor since they were born, and it has always been the custom to get married when necessary. Sometimes, it is difficult to be an emperor.

Emperor Changqing was very satisfied with his daughter's wit, so he comforted Xijiang's envoy, and specially appointed clever officials to accompany Xijiang's envoy to play around.

The capital is bustling, and the flowers dazzle the eyes. Where did the Xijiang people who drink the wind and eat the sand all day long have seen it?

According to the route between Xijiang and Daliang, when the envoy returns, Xijiang will have to wait until at least March for any changes. Emperor Changqing transferred the general Wei Wuxing who was stationed in the south of the border back to the capital early, just in case.

The atmosphere in the capital quietly became tense, and Cheng Wei spent her 16th birthday in such an atmosphere.

It's only been a year since Jiji ceremony, so the girl's 16th birthday naturally doesn't need to be a big deal, Cheng Wei invites only those who are close to her peers.

Han Qiuhua and others from the Duke's Mansion didn't mention it, but the fifth princess, Princess Lan, Xie Xiao, Zhao Qingkong and others all came.

The wedding date of Han Ping and Xie Xiao was set in June. This was the first time they met after their engagement, and they were both quite shy.

Not long after the meal, Han Ping found an excuse to leave in a hurry, causing Cheng Wei to smile: "I didn't expect that Cousin Ping, who has always been prudent, would have a day of running away."

Han Qiuhua glanced at her: "It's not that you guys are naughty and always make fun of him. Be careful when it's your turn, they want you to look good."

Cheng Wei took a look at the six openwork screens of huanghuali in bloom.

The screen divides the flower hall into two, and Cheng Che and others sit at the other end. Except for toasting, they come one after another, after that, only the interlacing of cups and chatting and laughing can be heard on the other end of the screen.

"Qingqian, the ice sugar papaya dish from the Duke's Mansion tastes good, I like it."

Cheng Wei recognized that it was the voice of the second brother's close friend Lin Lang, thinking of the helpless look of the second brother after hearing his words, he couldn't help but smile: "I'm not afraid, I have a thick skin."

If there is a day when others can make fun of her and her second brother in a fair and honest way, it's too late for her to be happy, so let's let her shyness go.

"You, you really don't understand!" Han Qiuhua shook his head, taking Cheng Wei's words as a little girl's joke.

Princess Lan glanced at the screen curiously, and said in a low voice, "Who is this? This is the first time I've heard that a man likes to eat rock sugar papaya."

Zhao Qingkong wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "Actually, my third brother also likes to eat. Well, I think men who like to eat sweets will be easier to get along with."

Cheng Wei explained with a smile: "It's my second brother's good friend, surnamed Lin Minglang, who once did me a favor, and invited him together for my birthday this time."

The so-called help was naturally about Lin Lang and Cheng Che going down the cliff together to find Cheng Wei, but there has been no rumor about her disappearance, and there is no explicit statement at this moment.

Zhao Qingkong was startled when he heard that: "Are you working in Nan'an Palace?"

"Yes, Sister Zhao recognized it?"

Zhao Qingkong quickly shook her head: "I don't know, I just heard my third brother mention it."

Everyone thought it was a coincidence, so they didn't take it to heart.

Zhao Qingkong remained calm on the face, but felt a little regretful in his heart.

If she knew it was this person, she should have taken a closer look when she came to toast.

Since retiring from the marriage of Duke Wei's son, her parents and family members have been worrying about her a lot.It's just that with the reputation of withdrawing from marriage, after all, there is not as much choice as before, and the family members put their eyes on some young talents who have no obvious family background.

This Lin Lang was one of the people included in the scope of investigation by his parents. Because his background was the worst among them, his parents didn't seem to pay much attention to it.The reason why she had an impression was because of what the third brother said, that he was open-minded and had a good relationship with the second young master Cheng.

If she is really open-minded, she doesn't care if her background is poor, anyway, what she values ​​is never beautiful silk.

After dinner, Zhao Qingkong went to admire the flowers in the garden, and said quietly to Cheng Wei: "Sister Cheng, I would like to ask you to do me a favor..."

Cheng Wei's eyes sparkled when he heard this, and he nodded again and again: "Sister Zhao, don't worry, I'll try it right away."

Everyone was walking in the garden in twos and threes. Cheng Che and Lin Lang were much older than the other boys, and they sat in the gazebo drinking tea.

Cheng Wei walked over with a happy face: "Second Brother, I received a very interesting gift today."

"What gift makes you so happy?"

Cheng Wei sat down at the other end of the stone table, put the box on the table, and said with a smile, "Second Brother, open it and have a look."

Cheng Che opened it with a smile, and saw a lifelike puppy lying inside, only as long as an adult's finger, and it was carefully made of wood and painted.

"It's really interesting."

Lin Lang came over to look, his face was more interested than that of Cheng Che, he reached out to touch the puppy and said, "Third sister, ask your friend where you bought it, and I will buy some for my younger brother too." sisters."

Third sister?
Cheng Wei couldn't help but glance at Cheng Che.

Why didn't she know, since when did she know this person so well?
Cheng Che smiled slightly, signaling that she would be okay with it.

Looking coldly at the interaction between the two brothers and sisters, Lin Lang quietly rolled his eyes.

If I don't call him third sister now, I should call him younger brother and sister in the future. I really don't want to accept this cruel reality.

"I can't buy this anywhere, it was a gift from a close friend of mine." After Cheng Wei explained, he stretched out his hand and twisted the puppy's tail a few times, then put it on the table.

The puppy actually shook his head and walked away.

Lin Lang was dumbfounded, and even Cheng Che was a little moved.

"Ms. Zhao made this after studying the music box?"

"Yes, sister Zhao is smart, right?"

"Smart." Cheng Che nodded.

Cheng Wei turned to sigh: "However, Sister Zhao spends most of her time on researching these things. For you men, do you think such a wife is incompetent?"

"No." Cheng Che said concisely.

Cheng Wei tilted his head and looked at Lin Lang.
