Royal Palace.

Qingzhuyuan, in the pavilion.

The moonlight is like water, and the lights sway.

The eldest princess in a big red dress was sitting in the pavilion, holding a volume of books in her hand, reading them carefully.

Liu Chan knelt on one side, quietly and respectfully accompanied her.

Books on the table are reduced by volume.

The eldest princess was extremely devoted to seeing it, as if she had forgotten the time.

Liu Chan and the escort maid standing not far away were all holding her breath and waiting quietly, not daring to disturb her.

Until an eunuch came hurriedly with a rice basket under the escort of four soldiers, the princess's eyes were taken back from the books.

"When Tang monk in Huangfengling is in trouble, Bajie is competing for the first place in the middle of the mountain."

The eldest princess read a word, smiled at Liu Chan, and said, "I see this, I will go back later. Let's have a meal first."

The eunuch bowed his body and placed a plate of braised pork, two portions of crucian carp soup and other meals on the stone table, saying respectfully: "Report to the eldest princess, the only portion of braised pork left tonight in Zuixianlou. The young man was going to keep what he had eaten, but the old slave begged for a long time to come."

This old eunuch looks a little aggrieved.

However, he also knew that the restaurant had something to do with Liu Chan, and this was not a complaint, it was just to tell the truth.

Liu Chan hurriedly said, "Princess, the braised pork is very complicated, and it will take at least one or two hours to complete. Wei Yan didn't know that the princess wanted to eat it, so she was so rude."

The eldest princess smiled and said, "It's okay, you can try this thing occasionally, but if you eat too much, you will get greasy."

As he said that, he brought the only plate of braised pork to himself, then pointed to other dishes, and smiled and said, "Xiao Chan, you eat other dishes."

Liu Chan twitched his lips and nodded, "Okay."

The eldest princess picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised pork, put it in her mouth, and narrowed her eyes with pleasure.

Then he picked up the second piece, looked at the bright and trembling pieces of meat in the chopsticks and praised: "It's all in color, fragrance and taste, it melts in your mouth, and the mouth smells fragrant. I didn't expect that this small piece of pork could make this taste. That boy, it's not simple."

Liu Chan hurriedly said, "If the eldest princess likes to eat, I will ask Wei Yan to cook a few bowls in person every day and send them to the palace."

The eldest princess ate the second piece, looked at the book next to her and said, "Is this "Journey to the West" really written by him?"

Liu Chan said: "It's true. What I saw with my own eyes was also copied by Zijun, and Lord Bingji personally asked someone to publish it."

After eating the third piece, the eldest princess said, "Why do you have to go to business if you have such amazing talent?"

Liu Chan smiled bitterly and said, "That guy has a weird personality, and I can't see through it yet. I guess he just came out of prison and had no relatives in Kyoto and was short of money."

The eldest princess ate the fourth piece and said, "He has a good relationship with the former prince's eldest son?"

Liu Chan nodded and said, "Yes."

The eldest princess paused for a moment, frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.

After a while, she picked up the last piece, put it in her mouth, chewed it slowly, and savored it carefully, and said, "This meat... is really delicious."

The eunuch who had been arching his body quickly said, "Princess, the old slave will leave the palace again and let the young man cook immediately."

The eldest princess waved her hand and said, "No, you can retreat first."

The eunuch immediately bowed and retreated.

The eldest princess picked up the handkerchief, wiped her mouth, looked at Liu Chan next to her and said, "That matter is unhurried. I know His Majesty's character. Even if I regret it, I will never be mentioned by others for a while."

Liu Chan lowered her head and said, "Yes."

The eldest princess patted her hand and said, "I will leave in a month. If those people dare to do anything that is angry and resentful in this month, I will definitely not stand by. If you want to do something, it is best that I can cooperate with you secretly within this month."

Liu Chan was stunned and asked in confusion: "Didn't the eldest princess just say that this matter is in a hurry?"

The eldest princess smiled, picked up the spoon, took a sip of the delicious crucian carp soup, and said, "You can't take the initiative, but you can fight back. As long as your Majesty doesn't think it's his fault."

Liu Chan seemed to understand but nodded and said, "Yes."

The eldest princess lowered her head and drank crucian carp soup spoon by spoonful.

After a while, I finished drinking a whole large bowl of crucian carp soup.

"Xiao Chan."

The eldest princess put down the bowl, looked at her for a while, and suddenly said, "I beg you something."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Chan was shocked, stood up in a hurry, and bowed, "Princess, please say, as long as I, Liu Chan, can do it, I will never refuse!"

The eldest princess smiled and said, "Okay, then you can find a prince consort for me, within ten days."

Liu Chan's face changed and she was speechless.

The smile on the eldest princess's face gradually faded away, she sighed and said, "Originally, I could have won a greater victory at the border this time, but unfortunately, his Majesty urgently summoned me back. Unexpectedly, it was just for my marriage."

Speaking of this, the woman with great military achievements turned serious and said, "In a month, I will definitely return to the border. So, within this month, I must get married. Your Majesty said that only when I get married can I leave."

Liu Chan said in shock: "Since Your Majesty said that, he must have chosen the princess for the eldest princess. Why does the eldest princess still want me...I'm helping?"

The eldest princess's expression turned cold and said, "Who are you guessing it is the prince consort?"

Liu Chan said in confusion: "Who?"

The eldest princess sneered: "Li Guangli's son, Li Pinggong."

Liu Chan's face changed and she said, "It's him?"

She didn't know Li Pinggong, but she naturally knew Li Guangli.

This person is favored by his sister Mrs. Li and becomes a general. He is of poor character and mediocre qualifications. He suffered losses in several battles and killed many elite soldiers and generals. However, he was not punished by Emperor Wu and was still upright and trusted by Emperor Wu.

The eldest princess has always looked down on this person and has had many disputes with him. If it weren't for Emperor Wu's protection, he would have seized his military power on the border and executed him.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Wu urgently summoned the eldest princess to come back this time, in order to get the eldest princess to marry the man's son.

It was probably Mrs. Li who blew the wind on the side of Emperor Wu again.

The Li family is now extremely powerful, and it would be even more amazing if they marry the eldest princess who holds military power into the house.

Therefore, the eldest princess naturally didn't want to.

"When I came back yesterday, Your Majesty mentioned to me, and I refused on the spot. However, Your Majesty, on the grounds that I am twenty-two years old, asked me to get married as soon as possible before I could leave Kyoto. As for the candidate for the son-in-law, Your Majesty saw that I was firm in my attitude, he took a step back and said that I could choose myself, but I must be better than Li Pinggong."

The eldest princess frowned and said with a sad face.

"You also know that I have been leading troops on the border for many years and have long been unfamiliar with the people in Kyoto. It is definitely impossible to find a good man. I don't have high requirements. Just find someone who is obedient, has good quality, and does not disturb me from leading the army to fight. It is best not to rely on any force. If I can enjoy it, it will be better."

After hearing these requests, Liu Chan was secretly distressed. There were not many people in Kyoto that could make you like.

But there are many who are obedient and have good quality.

But more importantly, you must be better than Li Pinggong, otherwise Your Majesty would definitely not agree.

Liu Chan said carefully: "Princess, do you understand Li Pinggong?"

The eldest princess frowned and thought for a while, and said, "I have sent someone to inquire. The man is said to be both civil and military, can recite poems and write pairs, and can arrange troops, and has a good reputation, so His Majesty chose him."

When Liu Chan heard this, she secretly complained, saying, "If this is the case, I'm afraid..."

The eldest princess looked at her with deep eyes and said, "That's why I asked you for help. Xiaochan, I'll give you ten days to find someone better than him. If you can do it, I'll help you get revenge and help your brother regain the position of monarch of Zhao."
