    In Hua Liuli's eyes, Emperor Changlong was really a good person.

    The prince’s character is too straightforward. It is a good choice to marry the daughter of a family of military commanders. It will not only open up a convenient channel for him in the future, but also shows that he values ​​the military commanders.

    He trusts the Hua family, at least for now, so he wants her to marry the great prince with simple maternal power, which not only gives her a noble status, but does not make her life after marriage too bad. .

    It is a pity that hope is good, but people's hearts will change. The eldest prince is not necessarily willing to be an ordinary prince, and the emperor might be jealous of the Hua family one day, so her best choice is not to marry any prince.

    Before coming to the capital, his majesty mentioned the marriage of the eldest prince to her, but after arriving in the capital, he never mentioned it again, indicating that his majesty gave up this plan.

    Part of the reason why she can come to the title of county lord so easily may come from the compensation of your majesty after repentance.

    Anyway, there is no need to marry the King of England. Hua Liuli thinks it's a good deal to have an extra princess title.

    But Emperor Changlong didn't think so.

    He flipped through the memorial that came up from Dali Temple and saw that it said that Princess Fushou had been retaliated by the killer because she had broken the Eastern Palace assassin case, and sighed.

    "Father, which royal family is crying poor, or which two dudes are making trouble?" Seeing his father sigh, the prince who followed Emperor Changlong to study governance raised his head and leaned back in his chair, never wanting to look at the table anymore. Take a look at those memorials on the book

    "It's the case where the Fushou princess was almost taken abducted." Emperor Changlong handed the memorial to the Dali Temple to the prince, "I'm sorry Huajia."

    She said she would let the little girl from the Hua family be the princess of England, but regretted it. Now because the little girl accidentally saved the prince, she was hated by the murderer and almost taken away.

    The prince took the memorial and read it, but did not speak after a long silence.

    "Yuan Su?" Emperor Changlong saw the prince not speaking, and looked at him sideways.

    "The son is thinking that the killer organization should be a strong attack." The prince put the memorial on the table. "The little girl of the Hua family is the lord of the Dajin princess. They dare to act on her, which is a provocation to the court. "

    Emperor Changlong: "What do you think?"

    "The prefectures check their household registrations, and those who have unknown origins should be closely guarded." The prince turned to look at Emperor Changlong. "The domestic slaves privately raised by the nobles of major families must also be registered."

    Emperor Changlong's eyes changed slightly: "Yuan Su, this matter should not be rushed."

    "I understand." The prince looked at the memorial with the words "Princess Fushou", "If one year doesn't work, then ten years, if ten years doesn't work, then twenty years."

    Emperor Changlong nodded slightly, and the father and son did not discuss this matter again, but they all understood that there were some things for the people and they could not be compromised.

    In the afternoon, Hua Liuli received a gift from the palace, as well as a sacred decree from the emperor. Such beautiful words as a tiger father without a dog girl, cleverness and beauty, were all placed on her as if she didn't need money.

    People who don't know will definitely think that she is powerful in martial arts, just like her father.

    Hua Liuli: "..."

    No, she is very weak, helpless, and very incompetent. She is just a pretty girl among a bunch of tigers.

    His Majesty the Emperor was very generous, not only praised her, but also gave her a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, and the land near the Zhuangzi became her private property.

    His majesty's generosity made Hua Liuli forget those exaggerated and beautiful words in an instant. Sending away the eunuch who gave the decree, Hua Liuli said to Iris happily: "Your Majesty is so caring, even considering where I will live in the future."

    It is not uncommon for aristocratic women to raise noodles in the capital, but because they can’t go to the table, they usually raise the noodles in their own other villages.

    "It's a pity that I'm used to seeing men like the prince and three older brothers, and looking at other men, I always find it ordinary and boring." Hua Liuli sighed, "Is there anyone else you like?"

    "Why don't you take a look at the King of England more, maybe when you look at other men, you might think that everything is pretty good?" Iris joked with a smile.

    "Although the appearance of the British king is not as good as the prince and his brothers, but the imperial aura is still there, at least stronger than ordinary men." Hua Liuli coughed, "Besides, am I the kind of superficial person who only looks at the face?"

    "I am a person who looks at both the face and the connotation." Hua Liuli shook her finger, "Even if I don't plan to marry someone, I can't wrong myself."

    "Yes, lest there be rumors in the capital that the Fushou princess, who is delicate and panting when walking, is obsessed with male sex and doesn't even want his life." Hua Changkong entered the house and sat down beside Hua Liuli, "That It's so lively."

    "Being a ghost under the peony flower is also romantic." Hua Liuli chuckled, pretending to be shy.

    "Poor mouth." Hua Changkong stretched out her hand to flick her head, "Speaking so badly, I haven't seen any man you like."

    "Brother, how can you say this to a pure and shy little girl, she is so shy." Hua Liuli covered her face, and took away Hua Changkong's purse. "This is for your lovely sister's first career , Make a small contribution."

    The two brothers and sisters laughed for a while, and Hua Changkong looked at her outstanding sister, feeling sour and unspeakable: "Little sister, I am wronged."

    "Brother, what are you talking about?" Hua Liuli opened her eyes wide, and said with a smile. "I am a weak and sick little girl, and I live a day of eating, drinking and having fun every day. What can be wronged?"

    She hid the purse: "No matter what you say, I will not return the purse to you. Give up."

    Hua Changkong: "..."

    He knew that all lyricism was useless in front of the little girl.

    As the time of Chunwei gets closer and closer, Hua Changkong doesn't go out much anymore, staying in the study all day and studying. Hua Liuli was worried that he was under too much pressure to study, so she changed her way to let the kitchen make Hua Changkong good food.

    When the first month was about to pass, the old man of the Tian family was gone.

    Everyone sighed when the funeral report was passed to the various houses. The old man of the Tian family was a sensible person. When he died now, the King of England was one step further away from the crown prince.

    Grandpa Tian had served as a second-tier member before his death, and he had a good reputation in the officialdom. In addition, his daughter was a concubine in the palace, and all major families in the capital would go to the Tian family to express their condolences.

    As a junior, Hua Liuli also wants to go.

    She changed into the gorgeous brocade skirt, put on a plain cotton skirt, tied her hair bun with a few simple plain silver hairpins, and rushed to Tianfu in a carriage.

    At the gate of Tian Mansion, Tian Ruidong was dressed in filial obedience and greeted the guests with red and swollen eyes. He had a slumped head, no previous vitality.

    When Hua Liuli got out of the carriage and passed by Tian Ruidong, he heard him whispering: "Tian Gongzi, please be sorry."

    "Thank you princess." Tian Ruidong saluted Hua Liuli.

    Hua Liuli didn't know how to comfort him, so he bowed his knees and returned half-little into the worship hall.

    The altar filled with fireworks, the tablet with Master Tian was placed in the center, the descendants of the Tian family knelt on the ground sobbing and sobbing, the whole room was filled with the smell of sadness and death.

    The King of England stood by the mourning hall, with signs of crying on his face. He is a prince. According to the rules, he does not need to wear hemp to wear filial piety to his grandfather. But today his hair is tied with hemp rope and his clothes are just simple white cotton robe.

    The person who arrived in front of her was Princess Jiamin. The two looked at each other for a while, and they rarely spoke or mocked each other.

    "Bye." She and Princess Jiamin stepped forward and bowed.

    "Sorrow, incense."

    Hua Liuli took the incense and bowed three times, a little behind, and waited for Princess Jiamin to insert the incense into the incense burner before following.

    There were other female relatives coming to mourn the deceased. Hua Liuli retreated from the side door. When she went out, she looked back and glanced at the county lord Jiamin who was walking towards the King of England.

    Not long after, Princess Jiamin also came out, looking very depressed. She saw Hua Liuli standing under the tree in the yard and couldn't help but said, "It's not that you are in bad health, why are you here?"

    Does she still have ideas about the King of England?

    The only daughter of the Hua family is in the capital. Who else can come if she doesn't come? But Hua Liuli didn't bother to talk to Princess Jiamin at this time, so she just coughed and said nothing.

    Seeing the appearance of Hua Liuli, Princess Jiamin remembered that she had done nothing. When others mistakenly thought that she was bullying Hua Liuli, she had to put up her mind and turned around and left the yard.

    "Princess." Iris tidyed up the cloak for Hua Liuli, "It's windy here, let's go to the front hall."

    "Okay." Hua Liuli glanced at the other female relatives standing in the yard, and coughed a few times while covering her mouth with a handkerchief.

    She turned around and was about to leave. Seeing the haggard King of England walking out of the sacrificial hall towards this side, she wanted to pretend not to see it, and continue walking outside.

    "Princess Fushou."

    Hua Liuli knew that Princess Jiamin was about to give her a flying knife.

    "His Royal Highness." Hua Liuli smiled and turned around and saluted the King of England.

    "Thank you, the princess for coming to express your condolences." Seeing Hua Liuli's face turned pale, the King of England worried that she would not be cold, "There is a warm room next to him, and this king will send you there."

    "It's okay, just find someone to lead the way." Hua Liuli saw the bloodshot eyes in King Ying, "Please also your highness."

    The King of England reluctantly smiled, "Thank you."

    Instead of insisting on sending Hua Liuli there, he called a servant and asked her to send Hua Liuli there.

    When he reached the greenhouse, Hua Liuli met Jiamin's eyes again.

    "Princess, we really have fate." Hua Liuli pretended not to see the hostility in the eyes of Princess Jiamin, and sat down on the cushioned chair.

    Princess Jiamin looked at her, and the corners of her lips moved. Hua Liuli thought she would say something ridiculous, but she didn't expect this grumpy princess to say nothing.

    In this warm room, the two sat facing each other without saying a word.

    After a long time, Princess Jiamin looked at Hua Liuli, his eyes flushed: "You know what, Princess Ying has settled down."

    Hua Liuli shouted in her heart: I don't know!

    "It's not you." Princess Jiamin's voice was trembling. "It's not me either."

    Hua Liuli was silent for a moment: "Are you...sorrowful?"

    County Master Jiamin: "..."

    The room was burning incense, Hua Liuli glanced over the incense burner, and suddenly stood up: "Go, this room is wrong."

    County Master Jiamin: "..."

    Even if you don't want to stay in a room with her, you don't have to act so pompously.

    She just wanted to say, don't think you can't see Hua Liuli secretly mocking her in her heart, she started to feel dizzy before she could speak.

    "You..." Princess Jiamin opened his eyes wide and stared at Hua Liuli.

    She has had some bad luck recently. Even if the man she likes wants to marry other women, the woman she hates will even poison her.

    It is written in the script that if the noble lady is poisoned by her opponent, something terrible will definitely happen later.

    Hua Liuli, this femme woman!

    The author has something to say: Hua Liuli: I am not, I don't, don't talk nonsense.
