Spirit of the Phoenix: 14. Meet
Teacher, he did not commit suicide, but was killed by others.
Tai'an was surprised at first, and after careful consideration, he gradually had the feeling of seeing the sun behind the clouds.
The Tai Tuo's blood splashed on Jin Luan was not sincerely asking for death, but to draw a clear line with the prince, abandon the prince and cancel the engagement, and even kill the prince to avoid future troubles.
The emperor and empress have been married for four years, and nothing has come out of the harem. After the crown prince was abolished, the situation in the court changed, which also gave more possibilities to the courtiers who were ready to move.
It's just that the Taifu didn't know that the mantis was catching the cicada and the oriole. The Pei family's vitality was severely injured, and they were unable to complete the chess game of retiring the marriage. And now the Crown Princess Pei Ansu, who is in a dilemma, has become the abandoned son of the Pei family.
She killed herself, following the example of the Tai Tuo's blood splashed in the court, Pei Junzhi could guard her dead body and cry again to the king and his officials. As a result, the crown prince, who had cut his heart out to save his father not long ago, was about to fall into impeachment storms one after another.
"If Pei Ansu doesn't want to commit suicide, there is probably only one way left." The little prince turned his face sideways, his resolute chin stretched into a line, and his lips were tightly pursed, "Marry me."
"Willingly, marry me."
———————————————————————————————————
Taifu Peixian's dead spirit was buried in 7749 days.
The crown prince has just recovered from his illness, but in the early morning of late autumn, he was dressed in stone-blue regular clothes. He knelt in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony without trembling. The strategy has made great achievements. My son is willing to mourn for his father and relatives to show the greatness of the emperor's grace."
The emperor personally stepped down from the dragon seat and helped the prince up, with eyes full of praise: "My son's benevolence is the luck of my big swallow"
At this point, En allowed the prince to go to the Taifu's mansion to express his condolences.
The little prince returned to the East Palace before leaving, and was forced to sit down in front of the desk by Tai'an nagging.
"You're here to meet your fiancée, do you understand? You want to persuade her to marry you, how can you impress people if you don't tidy up?" She stood on the back of the chair, struggling to tie up his hair , trying to tie the back of the head into a high bun.
The little prince endured his impatience, and said coldly back to her: "...As long as Pei Ansu is not so stupid, she should know at this time that she has no other way to survive except to marry me at the court and surrender to me."
You can only choose one of the daughter of the Pei family or the princess. The Tai Tuo passed away, and no one would support her, and the Pei family would use her death to impeach him. If she was smart, she would know that she should break with Pei Junzhi at this moment, completely stand with him, and become his princess in the East Palace.
Tai'an didn't think so, turned his face and told him earnestly: "No matter how good-looking Pei Ansu is, she is also a boudoir girl in her boudoir. It is impossible not to have expectations for her future husband. If you look ugly and have a bad temper, you will be annoying. I'm tired of it, when she sees you, she might become determined to die."
After speaking, he glanced at some rose dew dripping on his skirt.
She fiddled with his face left and right and directed, "Hey, yes, smile... don't you smile like this, smile, smile, understand? Well, look at it this way, it's much more handsome."
The little prince grinned and complained at her: "You learned all these ways to please women from Li Yanxiu, right?... A man is indomitable, relying on a woman to be the top, I despise you..."
Tai'an snorted coldly, and patted the corner of his mouth with a palm: "Then you let me dress up like this, could it be that the person I'm going to meet later is a man?"
"It's not just fifty steps laughing at a hundred steps." She said with a smile, she took two steps back and looked at him with her head tilted, her brows and eyes curved like a carefree little fox, "It's much prettier."
It really looks much better. After staying in the palace these days, he has become much fairer, and against the blue color that just popped out on his chin, he looks mature and resolute. Long eyebrows and handsome eyes, but also a bit of a romantic attitude.
"Your mother must be very good-looking." Tai'an praised frankly.
The little prince heard what she meant, and the moment he turned his back, he pursed his lips and hooked the corners of his lips.
"Let's go." He straightened his clothes, dressed in plain clothes and hair, and walked out of the main hall.
He placed the book of "The Precepts of the Holy Ancestors" close to his chest, and inside it was the little princess, the paper ghost Tai'an, who was very excited because she was about to leave the palace.
When the prince arrived, the Pei family had already lined up in front of the mansion. When they saw the prince, they bent down and saluted. The etiquette was meticulous and there was no mistake.
The little prince immediately recognized Pei Ansu who was standing among the crowd, wearing a white filial dress, bowing his head meekly.
The last time he saw Pei Ansu was at the Peony Flower Banquet last year. She has a beautiful appearance and is the favored young girl in the family. She is lively and flamboyant, as eye-catching as the yellow peony on her head.
At that time, he had already made a decision in his heart. He must choose between the Chen family daughter and the Pei family daughter, and marry back to the East Palace as the crown princess.
If the niece of Empress Chen's family is selected, she will be the puppet of the Chen family for the rest of her life, just like her father.
He doesn't want to.
What's more, if the empress has a biological son in the future, why would she spare his life because of her niece?
If you don't marry the daughter of the Chen family, Pei Ansu is the only one who is most suitable to be his concubine.
At the flower banquet, the little prince was very caring, and gave him a box several times.
In the Lingyan Pavilion on the second day, he acted a little dazed in front of the Taifu again, and did not even defend himself when he was punished by the Taifu.
Just a few days later, in the study room of the East Palace, a beautiful picture of a yellow peony was hung.
The four big characters of "National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance" next to the peony are well written and full of thoughts.
This is a dangerous move, the little prince was worried for several days, but he never heard the news of the engagement of the youngest daughter of the Pei family.
If the Taifu is unwilling to marry a daughter, he will choose a husband for his daughter. However, the Taifu did not take any action for a long time, which means...he is also interested in the Crown Princess!
The little prince finally let out a sigh of relief. The winter solstice was about to pass, and I heard that my father and the Taifu were discussing the matter of choosing a concubine with him.
Based on this, this is the second time the little prince has seen Pei Ansu.
Through the thin underwear, Tai'an heard his beating heart, and couldn't help becoming nervous.
The crown prince personally lifted Mrs. Pei, and said in a deep voice: "The Taifu has suffered such a disaster, and my heart aches!"
The word "difficulty" is used so well that Tai'an can't wait to applaud and praise. First, he brazenly put aside his relationship with Taifu's death, and then hinted that there was something else hidden about Taifu's death.
Well, Tai'an thought, the little prince's face is indeed much thicker than she expected.
Pei Ansu, who was in the crowd, thought the same way, with a bright light in his eyes, he lowered his head even lower.
After a few pleasantries, the prince was supposed to drive back to the palace. However, the little prince repelled the servants of the East Palace who were standing in front of him, and insisted on going to the matriarch's funeral to offer his condolences.
Laoshu Pei made a gesture to stop her for a while, and pointed to Ansu to accompany the prince into the mourning hall.
Both sides were well aware of his intentions, and the little prince walked into the hall with his head held high.
When he reached the side of the curtain, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. Pei Ansu, who was half a step behind him, was caught off guard and stood beside him side by side.
"Taifu's misfortune is the same as that of my Mid-Autumn Festival night. Both were killed by traitors." The little prince confessed quickly and in a low voice.
Pei Ansu's face turned pale, she raised her face and looked around, and softly persuaded him: "Your Highness, be careful!"
The little prince did not give in at all: "...In the East Palace, the servants in the palace are not allowed to come close. After choosing my concubine, I have been more cautious and courteous. The Taifu treats me like a father and a teacher, and I will How could he do such a despicable thing and ruin his life?"
Pei Ansu didn't say a word, but Tai'an heard it very anxiously.
He is still explaining what happened on Mid-Autumn Night, wanting to prove his innocence to his fiancée!
Tai'an wished he could get up on his head and pat him awake. As expected, he didn't listen to the point he made before he left.
Even if the Pei family misunderstood that he forced/raped/the wet nurse at first, since the Taifu was murdered and died, they have already woken up!
What Pei Ansu wanted to hear was not his series of explanations at all, but the promise of "from the merits of the dragon"!
