Chapter 4 Men are unkind, women are unwilling
Zuo Hanchong pointed at Zuo Lingquan's face:
"You are the most handsome young masters of the Zuo family. You are the most handsome and love to wander around, which makes everyone in the four southern counties known. This is like the emperor who chooses a concubine. There is a beauty in the house who is waiting to be named. Everyone knows it. Do you dare to send someone a second to the palace?"
“…”
Zuo Lingquan opened his mouth and had nothing to say.
Seeing that his nephew stopped refuting, Zuo Hanchou's expression calmed down a little:
"I know you like to be free and easy, and don't like to be restrained. This time, you just need to do your best to let everyone see the position of my Zuo family.
Being selected is also your blessing. The princess is so charming and matched with you, she is a handsome man. If she does her best and still fails to be elected, just pretend that this has never happened."
Zuo Lingquan couldn't refuse any more, so he could only nod slightly:
"I understand, I will do my best. If I am not selected, please don't blame me for being unsuccessful."
"Your Highness the Princess is as wise as a torch. As long as you don't respond negatively, how could you not choose you? It's too late, go back and have a good rest and prepare."
After Zuo Hanchong gave in, he got up and gave him a gift.
Zuo Lingquan nodded, raised his hand and said goodbye, walked out of the study and flew directly onto the roof.
When Zuo Hanchou saw this scene, he came to the window and said in confusion:
"Lingquan, what should I do if I don't go back to my room to sleep at night?"
Zuo Lingquan was just a first time and was not comfortable staying at Uncle San’s house. He wanted to go out and find a place to stay, but this was hard to say clearly. He just smiled on the eaves:
"The first time I came to the capital, I went out for a walk. When I chose the prince consort, I would be there on time. I don't have to worry about the third uncle."
After all, Zuo Lingquan is a man, and he is not a lady waiting to marry without leaving the door. Although Zuo Hanchou did not want his nephew to disappear, it was not easy to force him to lock him up. Thinking about it, he just reminded him:
"When you go out, pay attention to your appearance. Don't be like a reckless man, and you can cut off people at any time. Also, don't go to brothels to get a tram, at least not in the past two days."
Zuo Lingquan stood in the rain with an umbrella, feeling a little helpless:
"Uncle San, I'm not a woman."
Zuo Hanchou frowned slightly, looked around and looked at him a few times, and then he looked like a person who had come here:
"Can a bad girl be called a man? Don't pretend to be serious in front of Uncle San. By the way, a good boy is not good. You must not go to the photo house in the city..."
??
Zuo Lingquan didn't know what to say, shook his head and sighed, and the rain curtain disappeared between several ups and downs...
-----
Under the same night.
The towering palace city stands solemnly on the east side of the capital, with the wind blowing palace lanterns and the rain hitting the eaves, making the huge imperial city feel like it is between clouds and fog, with magnificence in the hazy.
The emperor was sleeping in Changle Palace, where the emperor was sleeping, and the eunuch stood quietly outside the imperial study room with a whisk in his hand. The palace maid was holding a scroll and going back and forth.
The twelve-year-old emperor, wearing a black and red dragon robe, sat behind the desk of the small book. The half-copied books also turned into crooked earthworms crawling.
On the inside of the study, the Kuangda imperial desk was filled with memorials, and the female official carefully organized it.
The woman, also wearing a red and black palace dress, sat upright at the desk, holding the file that the arresting department had just delivered in the afternoon and checked carefully.
A woman is in her double 10 years old, with a golden hairpin inserted in her hair bun, her eyes are like red apricots, her eyebrows are like crescent moons, and her graceful figure has shown a bit of maturity that is exclusive to women.
Although the makeup is not applied, the softness between the eyebrows has not diminished at all, especially a small cherry red mouth with a little natural spring.
However, the woman's eyes were as focused as a sharp sword. Even without any movement, the condescending spirit in her bones could not be seen directly by outsiders, so that the beautiful eyes in front of the lights did not look soft at all, but instead had a cold smell.
The woman who could let the emperor copy books and sit on the dragon's desk to criticize the memorials was naturally Princess Longli Jiang Yi.
Princess Longli is nearly twenty years old and is already an old girl in this world. Because she wants to assist her young brother, she is not in a hurry to get married.
But as a woman regency, she is not the emperor's biological mother. She has never been precedent in history and is not in accordance with the rituals and laws. There are many objections from the royal family and court officials.
This time, the recruitment of the prince consort was because the royal family had too much opinion and had to make a compromise.
After marrying someone, he is a person with a foreign surname. According to the rules, he can leave the palace and go to his in-laws' house. He cannot stay in the palace, so he will naturally stay away from the power center.
Princess Longli and the little emperor are brothers and sisters. The age difference is huge, but the relationship is deep. How can you rest assured that your younger brother, who is only twelve years old, stayed alone in the palace and was undermined by the court officials and Zong. He definitely did not want to get married. At this time, he was also having a headache about recruiting a prince consort.
The green light swayed on the imperial desk. Princess Longli looked at the file in her hand with the lights, and rubbed her eyebrows with some boredom:
"These people are really trying to do everything they can."
Leng Zhu, the female official next to the imperial case, heard Princess Long Li speak, put down the file in her hand, and asked curiously:
"Princess, what's wrong?"
Princess Longli pushed the file to Leng Zhu and pointed to the handwriting on it:
"You can see it yourself."
Leng Zhu picked up the file, but saw that it was written on it - at noon today, Zuo Lingquan, the legitimate son of the Zuo family in Qinghe County, first entered the capital and encountered a ferocious beast in Linhefang. In order to protect the people of the neighborhood, he was afraid of death and fought with the ferocious beasts.
The file was written in detail, and Zuo Lingquan's determination to "death for the country, he was unshirkable" was written. He even added a pen. After doing the work, he was unwilling to disclose his name and was about to leave, but he was recognized by his fellow villagers.
Leng Zhu saw the end from the beginning and couldn't talk nonsense, so she thought about it and said:
"If this Zuo Lingquan is really so chivalrous, it is indeed worthy of praise."
Princess Longli had three points of disdain in her eyes:
"A single move of the prince-consort, all these young heroes emerged. Li Cang from Jintang County bravely rescued his classmates on Bailu River, Zhao Huaian from Beiya County risked his life to stop being frightened by fierce horses, etc., and happened to be unfair. Then he was recognized by the people present and sent to the table of our palace. Alas..."
This sigh probably felt that calling these young masters hypocritical is a waste of talk.
Leng Zhu curled her lips and joked: "In order to win the favor of the princess, these young men are very committed. At present, Zuo Lingquan is the most sincere and goes to kill the ferocious beast. If you don't say anything else, you have enough courage."
Princess Long Li has long been used to the following people's tricks, and shook her head and said:
"Zuo Lingquan is only seventeen years old, and he is not a practitioner. Why do you use to kill ferocious beasts? Choi Sun-young is also present today, and the arresting department has even gone to many people, and the ferocious beasts happened to appear on the dock. I'm afraid that Zuo Lingquan just came to the dock when he ran into the arresting department and surrounded the ferocious beasts, so he asked the arresting department to add the name. The Zuo family has a strong financial resources, and the minister Zuo Hanchong is versatile, so it should not be too simple to do this."
Leng Zhu also felt this was the case and found that Princess Longli had negative emotions about the candidate for the prince consort. She didn't want to say much, she exposed the topic and turned to the important matter:
"The above said that there was another problem with the Killing Knife. This is the third time this year. And since last year, ferocious beasts have started in the capital, and Qihuang Valley has not given a satisfactory reply. Could it be that like the princess's guess, there is really something wrong with Qihuang Valley?"
Qihuang Valley is only thirty miles away from the capital. It is worshipped by a country and naturally needs to protect the prosperity of the Dadan Dynasty. Now the capital is starting to cause ferocious beasts, which is equivalent to repeated mistakes on the ground. It is said that there is no problem in Qihuang Valley, and the princess does not believe it.
But this matter was very involved. Princess Long Li felt that it was meaningless to talk to the palace maid, so she did not respond, so she turned to the little emperor who was sleeping on her lying down:
"Come here, the emperor is tired, please send it to rest."
"yes."
The nanny waiting outside walked in after hearing the sound and carried the sleeping little emperor out.
Princess Longli closed the file and stood up to leave the imperial study. She wanted to go back to her bedroom, but halfway through, she stopped in the corridor.
Leng Zhu followed behind her and saw Princess Longli looking out of the imperial city, and she was a little confused:
"Princess, what's wrong?"
Princess Longli hesitated for a moment. Thinking of the ferocious beasts in Linhefang today, she felt uneasy and ordered:
"I'll leave the palace and you go back to the bedroom, so you don't have to follow."
"yes."
Although Leng Zhu had doubts, she did not dare to ask any more questions. She bowed behind her and quietly retreated with the palace maids.

Thank you for the rewards of the two big bosses, as well as the massive rewards from other big bosses.
There are many big guys, so I will thank you first. I will summarize and give a single chapter in a few days to thank you.
As for the rules of adding updates, I owe about 300 chapters in the previous book, and even if I apply zero, I will be 3 chapters... Everyone will definitely beat me to death, so let's calculate it based on 300.
I already owe a lot, and I promise too much to make a fortune, so I'd better make a fortune like the later part of this book. I'll calculate the reward of 30,000 yuan. Guan Guan will carefully count how I can't withstand the modification of the rules in the later part, and I will tell you in advance.
In addition, this is a fairy tale article. As a fairy tale newbie, Guan Guan dares not say what he wrote, but it is definitely different from other fairy tale articles. I wonder if you can adapt.
Chapter completed!
