"Whatever you want, Zhen will grant it!" As soon as he said this, the entire Hall of Clear Dao quietened down. Everyone's gaze turned to Yang Ling.
Just like a god descending from the sky, saying: "I want to grant you a wish", the Emperor had this ability to turn iron into gold. He could make you under one person and above tens of thousands, he could give you a life of wealth and glory without worry, he could let you have countless beautiful wives and concubines, everything in the world, as long as you want it, he could satisfy you.
Gu Daeyong looked at Yang Ling with envy, his heart was a little sour, he couldn't help but think: "If the Emperor gave me this promise, what do I want?"
He wanted too much, this thought floated in his mind, but he was startled: "What do I want? Glory, splendor, wealth and everything, a eunuch can't be conferred the title of nobility, what else can I want? "Gu Daeyong was at a loss.
Tang Yixian and the princesses also heard Emperor Zhengde's impulsive promise, Tang Yixian only slightly smiled, but didn't say anything. She knew her big brother's temperament, he was at ease, content with what he had, and he was very self-aware. The Emperor was willing to favor him, it was the Emperor's intention, he would not be arrogant because of the favor.
After Princess Yongfu and Xiang 'er were startled, they suddenly came to a realization: "Opportunity! Since Imperial Brother has said this, then we should ask him for marriage, asking for both of our marriages in one go, wouldn't that solve our worries? "
Princess Yongchun's little face was also flushed with excitement, she couldn't help but clench her fists: "Say it! Say it! Quickly say you want to marry sister! This idiot, if he doesn't say it, then he's a super big stick! "
All the maids and eunuchs were also looking at Yang Ling with envy, they didn't even dare to dream that the Emperor would one day make this promise to them: "If I were Duke Wei, what would I want? My power is already below one, above tens of thousands; my status is already at the top, and my title is at the top.
If one were to say that they wanted … they wanted the Death-Exemption Medallion, the Alchemy Iron Ticket! I have nothing else to ask for in this life. I can pass on my family's property and title. With the Red Pill Edict and Iron Coupon in my hands, I can ask for the safety of my descendants! "
Don't look at the fact that none of Zhu Yuanzhang's death-exemption medallions were honored. That was because he himself killed almost all of the meritorious officials who had the medallions. If there were any meritorious officials who could live until he returned to heaven, then the descendants of the Emperor would definitely not dare to deny the validity of the Dan Shu Iron Voucher bestowed by the ancestors. That's right! If the High Duke was smart enough, he would want the Dan Shu Iron Ticket!
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Yang Ling, wanting to know what he wanted. Yang Ling came back to his senses. "What do you want? Didn't His Majesty give me a chance now? Should I propose to him and ask for the marriage of the two princesses? No … no … I am a married man. Asking for the hand of the Imperial Younger Sister Princess is already absurd. How can it be even more absurd?
Although His Majesty has already secretly agreed, asking for the hand of two princesses at the same time is really unprecedented. Although His Majesty despises etiquette, it is difficult for him to make this kind of decision. If he is embarrassed and refuses, he will say that he only promised me one thing and not two things. Then everything will be ruined. It will be too late to carry out the next step of the plan. Let's just stick to the original plan. "
Just as Yang Ling thought of this, Emperor Zhengde gave him an encouraging smile. "Subject Yang, don't hesitate to speak."
Yang Ling clenched his teeth, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, your subject has received the limitless favor and trust of the late Emperor and Your Majesty, placing them in an important position. Your subject is loyal to Your Majesty, and fulfilling my duties for the common people of the Great Ming Dynasty is my duty. Subject is young and has been a scholar in Xuan Fu. Within a few years, I have reached the highest position. His Majesty's kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain. How can the things I have done be worthy of a reward? "
Zhengde saw that he had the intention to decline. He hurriedly waved his hand and smiled. "Ai, everyone says that by eating the ruler's salary, one must share the ruler's worries. But there are so many people who live like corpses. How many people truly serve the country? How many people have the heart to be loyal to the country and the ability to be loyal to the country? Dear subject, there is no need to be polite. I am the ruler of a country. There is no reason to take back what I have said. "
Yongfu and Xiang 'er's hearts almost jumped out of their chests. Their faces were pale from nervousness. They secretly clenched their fists and cheered for Yang Ling. Yongchun had already jumped up from the side. She impatiently said, "Why are you so fussy? Imperial Brother said to reward you. Quickly say it, what do you want?"
Zhengde smiled. "Yongchun is right. Don't be fussy. Quickly say it. What does my dear subject want?"
Yang Ling stammered. "This subject asks Your Majesty to forgive me. This subject … Her Highness the Princess is in love with each other. Because this subject is married, so … I have never dared to propose to Your Majesty. Today, this subject is bold. This subject does not want anything else. I only ask for Your Majesty's approval. This subject only asks … Her Highness the Princess …"
Before he could finish, Gu Dayong and the eunuchs and palace maids next to him were already dumbstruck with fright. Emperor Zhengde heard him stuttering and hemming and hawing, but he let out a long sigh in his heart: "These words are exhausting for Zhen, Zhen has been waiting anxiously, this fellow has finally come to his senses!"
Without waiting for Yang Ling to finish speaking, Zhengde heroically said, "Agreed! We are the ruler of a country. Our words carry enormous weight. How can we go back on our words? Although my dear subject is getting married, the son-in-law cannot have more than one wife and four concubines are the rules of this dynasty. We will follow the ancient rules and approve. Hahahaha … "
Zhengde's laughter had not stopped. Xiang 'er suddenly saw Yang Ling give her a look. She immediately jumped up from her chair and floated over to Yang Ling's side. She bowed down and said in a sweet voice, "Imperial Sister thanks Imperial Brother for the marriage!"
Zhengde smiled. "No need to thank me. No need to thank me. Haha … Ha … Ha …"
The more Zhengde laughed, the more he felt something was wrong. His smile froze. "You … You guys …"
Before he could finish, Princess Yongchun jumped up. She said in shock, "What's going on? Jiejie … Wu wu …"
Before she could finish, Princess Yongfu covered her mouth. She went forward to help Xiang 'er up. She smiled. "Little Sister Xiang' er, Imperial Brother has personally approved the marriage. Your life has been decided. Congratulations, congratulations."
Zhengde was even more confused. He stammered and pointed at Yongfu. "Xiuning, you … You …"
Yongfu quickly gave him a look. Zhengde knew that there was more to it than meets the eye. He obediently shut his mouth. Tang Yixian was completely unaware of the situation. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. "This older brother is really amazing. He actually managed to win over the Princess. What's even more bizarre is that His Majesty agreed without any hesitation."
As Yang Ling's sister and Xiang 'er's sister-in-law, she naturally came forward to express her gratitude. Seeing that His Majesty had made the decision, Tang Yixian hurried forward to congratulate him. Gu Daeyong also reacted. The two people surrounded Yang Ling and congratulated him.
The royal siblings stood at the side with different expressions on their faces. Xiang Er was shy and did not say a word. Yongfu smiled faintly with a hint of bitterness. Yongchun was dumbfounded and did not know what to say. Zheng De Emperor looked at them one by one and suddenly felt as if he was sleepwalking …
※ ※ ※
The gate to the garden opened to the north. In front of it was a stone bridge. A bay of water flowed from west to east, surrounding the garden to the south. Early in the morning at dusk, the air was filled with mist and water. It was very poetic. Standing on the Mountain Viewing Tower, one could have a panoramic view of the beautiful mountains and rivers. Especially with this rare item, one could see everything in Suzhou clearly. For example, the old man selling sweet porridge a few li away, one could even see his mouth open and close.
Tang Yixian said excitedly, "It's really very clear. This thing that big brother invented is really amazing. It really is the All-Seeing Eye."
Tang Yixian played with the All-Seeing Eye in curiosity. She turned around and saw that Zhengde was unhappy. She rushed over with a smile and hugged his arm. She said in a soft voice, "Look at you. You and I are willing. Even if you're the Emperor, you can't interfere with this kind of private matter. Why are you still unhappy? "
Zhengde was not a person who could hide things in his heart. At that time, he forced a smile and went back to ask his sister about it. Yongfu did not dare to say that Yang Ling accidentally broke into Xiang 'er's palace and saw the princess naked. She only said that the two of them already had feelings for each other when they were in Sichuan. In the palace, they also had the fate of kissing in public. They were already in love with each other. Although her heart was already set, how could she bear to steal her sister's love? As she spoke, she wanted to cry. She only asked her brother not to ask again.
Zhengde saw his sister's sad look and did not dare to ask again. But no matter what, Yongfu was his sister. His feelings far surpassed Xiang 'er. Now that he had spent so much effort to help someone else, his sister would have no one to rely on. How could Zhengde be happy?
He had already vaguely told Tang YiXian about Yongfu's secret love for Yang Ling. With Tang YiXian's intelligence, she thought one level deeper than Zhengde. If his brother liked Yongfu, then he would definitely not be so cruel. He would marry Xiang 'er in public and hurt Yongfu. If Yongfu was deeply in love with Yang Ling, she wouldn't have behaved as casually as she did in the Ming Dao Hall. There must be more to this than meets the eye, and it wouldn't be as simple as Zheng De thought.
She saw that Zhengde was still worried about his sister. She said, "If you want Yongfu to marry my brother, you are the Emperor. Can't you bestow the marriage?"
Zhengde shook his head and said, "Xian 'er, although I like to fool around, but marrying a princess to a married man is already an extremely difficult matter. Originally, to let Yongfu become a nun and cultivate, to remove the title of princess and to take advantage of the loophole of the Imperial family's rules, it was barely acceptable. Unexpectedly, Yang Qing asked for Xiang 'er's hand in marriage.
This is fine, zhen personally promised him this matter. When we return to the capital, it will be enough to shut everyone's mouths. But now how can I marry Xiuning to him? Even if she does not have the title of princess, she is still the Emperor's sister. If the Emperor marries two imperial sisters to one person, even if Yongfu and Xiang 'er are willing, how can I open my mouth? "
Seeing that he was distressed, Tang YiXian hugged him with heartache and gently advised, "Alright, don't think so much, Yongfu can be indifferent about it, maybe she has already thought it through. She doesn't even care about it herself, why do you have to brood over it? If she is dead set on Dage, then you have to slowly think of a way, right? What's the use of worrying here? This' Qian Li Yan 'is really amazing. You should also try it. Looking at the scenery, your heart will feel much better. "
Zhengde gave a wry smile and took the 'Qian Li Yan' from her hands. He perfunctorily looked at it for a while. Just as he was about to put down the 'Qian Li Yan', a familiar figure suddenly flashed across the lens. Zhengde quickly moved the lens back. But he was moving very fast just now. Now that he wanted to look for that person, he couldn't find them.
Zhengde took two steps forward and slowly moved the 'Qian Li Yan' along the path he was moving just now. Finally, he locked onto a figure.
It was a four-sided hall on the west side of the compound corridor. The walls were snow white, the tiles were green and the windows were carved with plum blossoms. This hall was called the Mianshui Pavilion. The long windows were all the way to the ground and were built facing the water. On the north side of the pavilion, there was a rock garden. On the rock garden, there was a cave. Under the rock garden, there was a clear spring, as clear as jade. Beside it, there were ancient trees and below it was a stone platform. It was a good place to drink tea and enjoy the scenery.
Zhengde saw clearly that the person standing there was indeed Yang Ling. He was about to take back the 'Qian Li Yan' in a bad mood when he saw a flash of light yellow clothes beside him. A pretty girl with long sleeves, her clothes fluttered in the wind. She floated from the side of the stone path towards Yang Ling's side.
In front of the Mianshui Pavilion, Yang Ling gently held Yongfu's small hand. Yongfu's breathing was somewhat rapid. Her hands were held by him and she became even more bashful. She said in a low voice, "Be careful not to be seen by others."
Yang Ling smiled and said, "There are very few people coming here. It's very quiet. There are also my people patrolling outside. Princess can rest assured."
Yongfu shyly bowed her head and said, "Call me Xiuning."
"En! Xiuning Meizi. "
Yongfu's hand was held by him. Listening to how he called her, her heart was sweet, warm and incomparably comforted.
Yang Ling held her hand and slowly walked to the flowering trees and beside the spring. He pointed to the rock garden and said, "There, do you see that? There's a cave up there. There are stone chairs and stools inside. It's just that it's still a bit humid in this season. When the time comes, you can hide there. When the time comes, let Xiang 'er report to me. I will come here to find you … "
Yongfu gently said, "En, whatever you say. I will listen to you."
Yang Ling looked at her shy and embarrassed face. He couldn't help but be moved. He gently hugged Yongfu in front of his chest and held her soft waist. He was about to give her a wolf kiss. Unexpectedly, just as he was about to pout, he saw the little lass sweetly close her eyes and stick her cheek to his chest. All he could see was her glossy black hair and her delicate white neck.
Yang Ling smiled slightly. A hug, for this princess who has never tasted the taste of love, is already unimaginable happiness?
"Ah! You … What are you doing? "Yongfu blushed and asked shyly.
"Oh, the material is too slippery." Yang Ling quickly moved his evil palm that was exploring Yongfu's soft buttocks back to his waist. If the wolf's tail was exposed too early, it would scare this pure little lass.
The two of them quietly snuggled up to each other.
After a while, Yang Ling softly said, "Xiuning …"
"En?" Xiuning looked like she was slightly drunk. Her heart was fluttering and she whispered against his chest.
Yang Ling said, "I'm afraid you have never walked at night by yourself, right? Are you afraid of hiding in the cave in the fake mountain alone? It's pitch black in there. "
"How can I be alone? I'm thinking of you!" So sweet, so soft, so pleasant to hear. Even though Yang Ling had been through many hardships, half of his body suddenly softened.
Yongfu had a traditional woman's good character: sultry on the outside. Her appearance was decent, but she had romance and passion in her bones. This kind of woman's charm and sexiness were not seen by many people in their lifetime, unless she was in a safe environment and in front of a safe person.
Princess Yongfu raised her head and looked at him with a blushing face. She shook her head with infinite charm and said, "I'm not afraid!" After that, her cheeks were attached to his chest sweetly.
Yang Ling gently stroked her silky smooth and soft long hair. His voice became more and more gentle, "Xiuning, it's still early February. Once you enter the water, it'll be cold. Remember to drink some ginger water first. I've checked the water. It's less than a person's depth. If you jump in, you won't drown as long as you stand. Pretend to be panicked and hold your breath in the water for a while. I'll rescue you. Don't be afraid. "
Yongfu's long hair was gently stroked by him. She was as obedient as a kitten, "En! I'm not afraid. "
"And …"
"I'm not afraid!"
"Uh …, I mean, when the time comes, I'll give you artificial respiration in front of everyone. Artificial respiration … means when you 'faint', I … I'll kiss your mouth. If you struggle in panic, you'll give yourself away. You … you don't have to be embarrassed."
After Yang Ling finished speaking, he suddenly felt a little cold. He looked down and saw that the front of his clothes had been pulled open, letting in air. Princess Yongfu's smooth and delicate face was completely hidden. Only her glossy black hair could be seen. A muffled and indistinct voice came from the front of the robe, "I'm not afraid."
Yang Ling looked at this ostrich like little princess with amusement. He rolled his eyes and thought, "You're not afraid, I … I'm even more not afraid!"
Tang Yixian saw that Zhengde was holding the "Qian Li Yan" and couldn't stop looking. He seemed to be a little fascinated. She couldn't help but shake her head and smile, "He's still very childish. Just now he was full of worries. Once there's something fun, he immediately gets carried away."
Tang Yixian lightly walked to Zhengde's side. She said with a smile, "How is it? Is the scenery good?"
Zhengde made a "heh" sound. He squinted his eyes and said, "En, good, good scenery. Good scenery, good scenery!"
※ ※ ※
Tonight the moon hung high in the sky and the stars shone brightly.
The Taoist master Zhang and his sister who were staying at the Mysterious Temple in Suzhou also came to see the Emperor. Taoist master Zhang had already heard that the Emperor had betrothed the daughter of the King of Shu, Princess Xiang 'er, to Duke Yang Ling. When he saw Yang Ling, he naturally couldn't help but congratulate him. Gu Daeyong accompanied the Frangji envoy to visit a few weaving workshops. After sending them back to the courier house, he also hurried over.
Inside Ming Dao Hall, Emperor Zhengde arranged a banquet and chatted happily with everyone. Princess Xiang 'er hurried over from behind and said in a panic, "Imperial brother, Sister Yongfu is missing. We looked in a few places but couldn't find her."
The music stopped. Everyone was in a daze. Zhengde curiously asked, "Yongfu is missing. Where did she go?"
"I … I don't know. I just sent the maids and eunuchs to look everywhere. They couldn't find Sister." This time Xiang 'er was lying to the Emperor. She was more or less nervous. She didn't mean to stutter.
"En?" Zhengde was a little puzzled. Could it be that the Imperial Sister was taking things too hard? There was no reason. Could it be that what I saw today was not real? Since the two of them still had feelings for each other, they still secretly met. How could they suddenly have the thought of seeking death in just half a day?
"Go, go find her immediately! Tell the maids and eunuchs to light up lanterns and torches. Even if we have to turn the Surging Waves Pavilion upside down, we must find Yongfu! "
Zhengde sternly shouted. He was already prepared. He didn't miss Xiang 'er constantly glancing at Yang Ling. He also guessed that this matter had something to do with them. But Zhengde still couldn't figure out what they were planning. It was rare that he was willing to calm down and accompany them in their play.
"Big brother, what day is it today?" Seeing everyone running around like wolves and boars, in a mess, little Fu Bao asked in a low voice.
Taoist master Zhang looked at her strangely. He softly said, "Why are you so muddle-headed recently? You don't even remember the date? Today is the 21st of February. "
"Oh!" The slender fingers in her sleeves quickly calculated. Taoist master Zhang waited patiently. Seeing her raise her eyes, he asked, "Did you calculate it?"
"En, I calculated it!"
"How is it?"
"She's not lost."
"Then where is she?"
"According to the divination, it should be in a remote corner."
"Can you find her like this?"
"I can't!"
Taoist master Zhang glared and roared, "Then why are you still pretending to be a living god? Let's go! "
"Oh!" Zhang Fubao quickly jumped up. The two siblings rushed out of the hall in a panic. At this time, only the two siblings were left in the hall.
The Surging Waves Pavilion was in an uproar. Jiang Bin, who had heard that a princess had been lost, was scared out of his wits. The thousands of elite soldiers outside the Surging Waves Pavilion unsheathed their swords and nocked their bows. The shadows of the soldiers patrolled the area. Jiang Bin himself rushed into the Surging Waves Pavilion in full armor and also ran around like a headless fly.
Yang Ling ran around aimlessly with Zhengde for a while. Suddenly, he suggested, "Your Majesty, this is such a large garden. It's more than ten mu of land. It's not a good idea to search like this. Let's split up and search."
"Alright! Let's split up and search. " Emperor Zhengde held his breath. He wanted to see what kind of tricks this fellow was up to, so he immediately responded without batting an eyelid.
Yang Ling was overjoyed. He hurriedly called over a group of eunuchs and palace maids and called out to Princess Yongfu as they ran into the distance. Zhengde saw Yang Ling holding a torch and heading in the direction of the Water Pavilion. When he thought of the scene he saw during the day, his heart couldn't help but move. He immediately turned around and followed from behind.
"Your Highness! Your Highness Yongfu! "Yang Ling rushed to the Water Pavilion and shouted.
Princess Yongfu, who was hiding in a dark and damp cave, was scared witless. When she heard his voice, she almost shouted back, "I'm here!"
Just as she opened her mouth, she realized that she was here to 'seek death'. She couldn't just answer.
Princess Yongfu hurriedly ran to the low window facing the water and looked out. She saw Yang Ling rushing into the courtyard with a torch in his hand. She took a deep breath and jumped into the pond.
"Bang!" Water splashed everywhere. Two palace maids screamed, "Someone is jumping into the river … jumping into the lake … ah, jumping into the water!"
"Don't be noisy!" The spring was cold and the stream was cold at night. Yang Ling couldn't bear to let Yongfu stay in the water any longer. He immediately stuffed the torch into the screaming palace maid's hand and rushed over.
Princess Yongfu, who was' seeking death ', was bravely and fearlessly rescued by Duke Wei. She was dripping wet as she was carried by Yang Ling and walked out of the pond.
"Quick! Quickly tell His Majesty that Princess Yongfu has been found! "Yang Ling was also dripping wet as he shouted. A few eunuchs immediately rushed out to report the news.
Yang Ling lowered his head and saw Princess Yongfu lying in his arms. Her hair was long and oily like oil. Her light clothes were wet and tightly wrapped around her graceful and exquisite body. The curves of her breasts were faintly discernible. The surroundings were filled with the flickering red light of the torch. The beauty in his arms was looking at him with her eyes filled with a gentle smile.
Yang Ling was shocked and immediately glared at her. Yongfu blinked mischievously and closed her eyes obediently. However, the corner of her mouth moved a few times before she slowly closed her eyes.
"The princess has drowned and is no longer breathing. Quickly call the imperial physician to save her!" Yang Ling carried Princess Yongfu into the Water Face Pavilion and placed her on a bamboo couch.
Someone outside shouted loudly, "His Majesty has arrived ~ ~!"
"His Majesty has arrived?" Yang Ling made up his mind and said anxiously, "The princess's life is at stake. I am here to save her. All of you can leave!" After he finished speaking, he suddenly leaned over and sucked on Yongfu's cold lips.
Yongfu's body stiffened, her small hands grabbing onto Yang Ling's clothes. Her eyes were tightly shut, and her face, which was as pure as jade, instantly turned bright red.
"Pa pa!" The outside of her full and straight thigh was lightly slapped twice by Yang Ling. The long eyelashes covering Princess Yongfu's eyes fluttered as she was reminded. Her body slowly relaxed and softened, allowing him to lightly kiss her cherry lips.
Zhengde stepped through the door and saw the girl lying on the couch. Yang Ling was kneeling on one knee and his mouth was on the girl's small mouth. That hand seemed to be massaging her chest?
Zhengde was furious and shouted, "Yang Ling, how dare you! What are you doing?"
The maid standing at the door who had been shouted back by Yang Ling stammered, "Replying to Your Majesty, Her Highness Yongfu has drowned and is unconscious. The Duke said he was saving her by giving her a breath."
Zhengde's eyes turned. After thinking about it, he immediately understood, "Good, so it wasn't a living person who was lost in Cang Lang Pavilion tonight. It was me who was lost?"
"Come out, come out, all of you come out!" This kind of scene was not something an older brother should see. Zhengde quickly retreated out of the room and even closed the door. "Girls are extroverted, they're working together to trick me!" Emperor Zhengde thought gloomily. But he couldn't vent this anger at Yang Ling. This matter was related to his younger sister's life!
"Are you cold?" As soon as the door closed, Yang Ling quickly raised his mouth and held Yongfu's cold hand as he asked in a low voice.
Yongfu's eyes looked at him affectionately. She warmly shook her head, "The cool breeze and bright moon are priceless, distant mountains and nearby rivers all have feelings." She was reciting the poem from Cang Lang Pavilion. It seemed to be an irrelevant answer, but the feelings of distant mountains and nearby rivers were self-evident. If one wasn't a passionate person, they wouldn't understand.
Yang Ling understood. He tightened his grip on Yongfu's hand and suddenly leaned down to kiss her. On the bed, a pair of jade-like feet suddenly stretched out perfectly straight. By the time Yang Ling let go of her lips with a soft kiss, Yongfu's chest was already heaving from the kiss, her red lips moist like cherries, peach blossoms on her face, her eyes slanting. She could only pant, unable to say another word.
"Damn it! What a scandal! "Zhengde flicked his sleeves and angrily said.
"So you wanted to deceive zhen, making zhen take advantage of the situation and marry her to you for the sake of my younger sister's reputation. You can only suffer in silence. Why can't you be a little more courageous and tell me everything? " If you want to deceive us, then you can deceive others! "
Gu Dayong saw that although the Emperor was angry, he did not look like he was really angry. He quickly smiled apologetically and explained: "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. The State Duke was just thinking about the Princess's life."
"Hey! I'll let you go this time, don't think you've succeeded. Zhen will get her back sooner or later! " Zhengde swore in his heart. He frowned and let out a long sigh, "We don't even know if Yongfu is dead or alive. Even if she was saved, how can she endure being saved like this?"
Xiang 'er carefully said, "Imperial Older Brother, uh … a woman's reputation is the most important. Yongfu jiejie was saved like this by the Duke …"
She pulled on the lapel of Yongchun's clothes. Yongchun reacted and quickly said, "I'm afraid jiejie can only marry Yang Ling. Otherwise, how can jiejie's reputation and the Imperial Family's dignity be taken care of?"
"Preposterous. Zhen has two younger sisters, how can they both marry the same husband?" How could Zhengde agree immediately? This scene had to be done properly.
Jiang Bin held the hilt of his knife and craned his neck to watch for a long time. He didn't interrupt, but that didn't mean he didn't bring his eyes. He saw everyone's reactions.
Even though Jiang Bin did not know the truth of whether the Princesses had accidentally fallen into the water or intentionally sought death, but the two Little Princesses urged the Emperor to marry Yongfu, and the Emperor's expression did not show any resolute opposition, he could see it clearly.
At this time, he remembered what the Taoist master Zhang had said to his sister in front of the Imperial Study, "Princess Yongfu and Duke Wei are destined to be husband and wife. Duke Wei's fate is indescribable. And Princess Xiang … isn't it all coming true?"
Thinking of this, Jiang Bin didn't make any more mistakes. He immediately turned over and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, this subject is a foreign subject. This subject doesn't dare to interrupt Your Majesty's family matters. However, even if Her Highness Yongfu didn't have today's calamity, she would still be married to Duke Wei. This is heaven's will."
Zhengde laughed angrily, "How many people did Yongfu and Yang Ling find to pave the way for Zhen? Even he was informed in advance and was the only one hidden from me?"
He glared at him and said, "Jiang Bin, when did you learn to read fortunes? Heaven's will? If you dare to mislead the public with your lies, Zhen won't forgive you."
Jiang Bin panicked and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this subject doesn't dare to speak nonsense. This subject accidentally overheard the private conversation between the Taoist master Zhang and his younger sister. This subject heard the Taoist master instruct his younger sister that this is heaven's will and must not be revealed. This subject is an ordinary person, so this subject doesn't dare to say much. Until today, when I saw this scene, I guessed that heaven's will has arrived. Although this subject fears heaven's will, I don't dare to deceive His Majesty. Naturally, I will tell you everything I know. "
Zhengde didn't believe that the Taoist master would use heaven's will to deceive him, so when he heard Jiang Bin's words, he was really skeptical. Could it be that Younger Sister and Yang Ling are really destined to be together? Heh, if the Taoist master really said that, then this is a huge step forward. Heaven's will, you want to reason? Go and discuss Taoist techniques with the Taoist master Zhang. If you can win against him, Zhen will listen to you!
Just as Zhengde was thinking, the Taoist master Zhang and Zhang Fubao also hurried over. When Jiang Bin raised his head and saw them, it was as if he had seen his savior. He hurriedly pointed at the Taoist master and said, "The Taoist master is here. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can ask him."
As soon as the Taoist master Zhang arrived, he saw a large group of people in front of the Water Pavilion looking at him with a strange expression. He couldn't help but feel a little scared. He slowed down and said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, Princess, Eunuch Gu, General Jiang, uh … What happened?"
Zhengde couldn't help but ask, "Taoist master, Zhen heard that you have long calculated that Yongfu and Yang Ling are destined to be husband and wife. Is this true? Can Taoist techniques really comprehend nature and have great magical powers? "
Did someone hear what we said that day? The Taoist master Zhang was shocked at first. But what did the Taoist master do? He knew the heavens above and the ghosts below. As soon as the words left Emperor Zhengde's mouth, he analyzed between the lines and secretly observed the expressions of the people around him. If the Taoist master Zhang still didn't know how to answer, then he would have wasted all these years of studying in the highest Taoist academy.
The Taoist master Zhang immediately answered, "Ah! This is a secret of heaven. The Taoist dares not speak without permission, but the Taoist has come tonight for this matter … "
The Taoist master Zhang smiled slightly, flicked his sleeves, and said in a natural and unrestrained manner, "The celestial phenomena indicate that fate has arrived!"
Zhang Fubao stood to the side and rolled his eyes. "You don't want me to pretend to be a god, but you come and play tricks. Only the Taoist master can deceive people, but he can't let Fu Bao tell his fortune!"
