Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

"Zhen Yingqing."

"Chen is here!"

Lord Zhen came out, wondering what the emperor wanted to see him about again.

"How long has it been since the serial murders?"

As soon as this was said, everyone knew that Master Zhen was finished. The soul murder case was not closed at the time, but became a bloody case, but the emperor acquiesced. Now that it was brought up again, it must not be because there was a clue, but because the emperor wanted to target Master Zhen.

Zhen Yingqing's voice was trembling a little.

"Your Majesty, it's been almost four months."

"Four months? It's been four months, and there's still no clues~"

"this..."

Zhen Yingqing was puzzled. The emperor had clearly said that he didn't need to care about it, so why did he bring it up again now? And he couldn't say that the emperor had stopped him from investigating.

"I remember your daughter is already seventeen, right?"

"Your Majesty, my daughter Zhen Luo is only seventeen years old."

"Well, it's time to marry her!"

The emperor's words made Zhen Yingqing break out in a cold sweat. He knew that if his daughter didn't like this marriage, who knows what would happen.

"I am discussing this matter with my wife."

"Well, there is no need to discuss it. Just promise her to be the Third Prince's consort. It can be considered a high-ranking marriage."

After this was said, not only Zhen Yingqing and Zuo Lin, but also Xiao Zuochen and Xiao Zuoqing looked at the emperor in disbelief. But the most shocked was the third prince. Yesterday he told his father that he didn't want to marry Zuo Xin. His father didn't agree at first and insisted that he marry her. How come he suddenly changed his mind today and chose Zhen Luo! He didn't dare to marry Zhen Luo. That woman played with swords. How could he survive after this?

"Father, would you please reconsider this?"

Xiao Zuoming took the initiative to speak. In comparison, he still felt that Zuo Xin was better. And Lord Zuo, who had already stood on the side of the Third Prince, was even more at a loss. If Zhen Luo married the Third Prince as a princess, what would happen to Zuo Xin? Could she take the Queen's phoenix hairpin and become someone else's concubine?

"Why, I personally arranged the marriage, what do you think?"

The emperor's voice was slightly angry, and no one dared to speak. Xiao Zuochen looked at Xiao Zuoming and shook his head, telling him not to talk back to his father. Zhen Yingqing, who was standing by, saw that the third prince was silent, so he dared not speak anymore, and lowered his head to wait for the emperor's "determination". Zuo Lin, who had not yet spoken, held back his question.

"Since you all have no objections, then it's settled. When Zhen Luo gets married, she'll be able to have peace of mind, and she won't have to run out every day thinking about doing other things. If she gets into trouble by accident, even if she is careful, it would be a big deal if her family gets into trouble."

"Yes!"

Zhen Yingqing bowed his head and replied, he knew what the emperor meant. He had thought that since Prince Yun was also involved in this matter, it must have been approved by the emperor. Who would have thought that the emperor would now use Luo'er's marriage to pressure him... Thinking of this, Zhen Yingqing couldn't help but glance at Prince Yun, but Prince Yun didn't even look at him.

I thought that was the end of it, but who knew the emperor would say something else.

"Sixth Brother, you are not a child anymore. You were also present at the Qiqiao Festival and saw the daughters of all the nobles. The daughter of the Zuo noble performed very well this time. I think she is quite suitable for your status. Why don't you..."

When Zuo Lin heard this, it seemed that the Emperor was planning to marry his daughter to Prince Yun. Well, Prince Yun was much more reliable than the Third Prince, but the relationship between him and Prince Yun... forget it, he could ease the situation later.

"Father!"

When Xiao Zuochen heard what the emperor meant, he knew that he wanted to marry the daughter of the Zuo family to him, so he spoke quickly.

"I don't want to..."

"What don't you want?"

The emperor pounded on the table, looking as if to say, "You must say something."

"Could it be that you already have a girl you like?"

Xiao Zuochen frowned. Although he didn't have a favorite girl, he couldn't accept or reject this question. Zuo Lin's face had already turned pale. It turned out that the King of Yun didn't like his daughter at all.

When the emperor saw that the sixth prince didn't say anything, he made the announcement directly.

"Since there is none, then take the Zuo family's Qian..."

"Father! I already have someone I like. I hope you will allow me to marry her as my concubine!"

Prince Yun's sonorous and powerful voice echoed in the hall, and at this moment the emperor seemed to suddenly realize something. When did the sixth brother's breath become so stable?

"who is it."

"The legitimate granddaughter of Wei Taibao, Wei Changmei."

“So it’s true…”

"We have never seen this Miss Wei..."

"I heard she was not in good health..."

Some gossiping ministers were talking about it, not noticing the emperor's expression at all.

The emperor obviously didn't expect that the sixth son would mention the granddaughter of Wei Taibao. The emperor had some impression of that girl. When she was a child, Wei Taibao brought her into the palace, but the sixth son was not in the palace at that time. Later, the girl's health became worse and worse, and with her stepmother taking care of her at home, she rarely went out.

"Wei Taibao, what do you think about this matter?"

The emperor knew that the sixth brother was using Wei Changmei as a shield. The Wei family had a Wei Taibao, who indeed had a good status, but Wei Taibao's son was not ambitious and only became a minor official. If Wei Taibao passed away one day, the Wei family would probably collapse.

Wei Taibao hesitated for only half a second before stepping forward and saluting.

"Your Majesty, my granddaughter once met His Royal Highness Prince Yun and was taken care of by him. I believe they are in love with each other."

The emperor tapped his fingers on the table, seeming to be thinking about something.

"In that case, then you can enter the Yun Palace together with the Zuo family's legitimate daughter. As for your position, you will both be concubines first. Whoever gives birth to a legitimate son first will be promoted to the principal wife."

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace."

Taibao Wei and Lord Zuo thanked him, and Xiao Zuochen had to thank his father. But he didn't understand why his father suddenly wanted to marry him. If it was to show his power to make him obedient, then it was to teach him a lesson. And he had already said that he liked Wei Changmei, so why did he insist on letting him marry the daughter of the Zuo family? Since he insisted on letting him marry the daughter of the Zuo family, why did he only make her a concubine?

Xiao Zuochen didn't understand.

"The date is set for the second day of August, which is next month. The third and sixth sons will get married together!"

Things were arranged like this. After the court was dismissed, Xiao Zuochen was stopped by several people while walking on the official road.

"I will speak first, you all wait!"

Xiao Zuoming directly pulled Xiao Zuochen out of the crowd.

"What's going on? Isn't Zhen Luo yours?"

Xiao Zuoming was very angry.

"I don't know why you suddenly granted me the marriage and changed your choice of princess, but it's obvious that something must have happened to make my father do this."

"What should I do now? I can't handle Zhen Luo at all, and she definitely doesn't want to marry me."

"Do you think it will be useful? After that, we can just live our own lives and not interfere with each other."

"Live your own life? That won't work. After all, I spent money to marry my wife, I can't just watch her~"

As soon as Xiao Zuoming finished speaking, he was kicked on the buttocks. Xiao Zuochen warned him.

"I'm telling you, if you bully Zhen Luo, I will definitely not forgive you, and my brother won't forgive you either."

"I know, I know. I don't know who is related to you by blood."
