After the New Year, Princess Yongjia is seventeen years old, so it is indeed time to choose a prince consort.

Emperor Xuanhe still hopes that his daughter can fall in love with others, a young talent who cannot be picky about his life experience, appearance, talent, and character.

His princess, if you want to marry, you have to marry the best one.

With the advice of the imperial concubine, the relationship between the father and daughter is no longer as cold as last year. If Emperor Xuanhe talks to Princess Yongjia, Princess Yongjia will respond, but Princess Yongjia no longer takes the initiative to hang around her father. She doesn’t smile much sincerely, but she still sticks to her own wishes.

Emperor Xuanhe looked for various opportunities to bring the children of aristocratic families he thought were good to his daughter and let her see them.

Emperor Xuanhe chose men with handsome appearances. He felt that his daughter liked Meng Zhao purely because she fell in love with Meng Zhao's face, so he arranged for her daughter to see more of the world. The capital is so big and there are so many children from aristocratic families. Not to mention that there are so many handsome men, fifty or sixty of them can always be gathered together, and there are always a few that can charm their daughter.

Who will show his face? Princess Yongjia will watch it, but the more she sees it, the deeper Meng Zhao will be in her heart.

Apart from his life experience, none of these men can match Meng Zhao.

Emperor Xuanhe worked hard for a year, and it was the end of the year again. Emperor Xuanhe asked his daughter what gift she wanted.

Princess Yongjia looked at her father and said, "My daughter wants to go to Luoyang to see the peonies."

Look at peonies, look at people!

Emperor Xuanhe said quietly: "Luoyang beauties gather, maybe Meng Zhao had a concubine's room and warm bed."

Didn’t Princess Yongjia think about this?

She laughed and shed tears, and Taohua's eyes were mixed with grievance and stubbornness: "Then I will go to Luoyang too. If I see someone around him with my own eyes, I can give up. If I give up, I will stay by my father and mother obediently to be filial, and I will not marry anyone and be the old princess for the rest of my life."

Emperor Xuanhe had been in a stalemate with his daughter for a year and a half. He knew that his daughter's stubborn temper would do what she said.

The daughter refused to listen to the advice, Emperor Xuanhe sighed to the concubine: "What's the point of Meng Zhao? It's worth her to do this."

The Imperial Concubine lay beside her, silent for a long time, and suddenly asked softly: "What's the point of being good about me? I deserve the emperor's favor for more than 20 years."

Emperor Xuanhe had nothing to answer.

Like is like, how can there be so many whys?

But he understood the meaning of the imperial concubine.

In March, flowers bloomed. Emperor Xuanhe sat in the imperial garden and sent someone to call his daughter over.

Princess Yongjia is here, but her expression is wilted, like a peony with her worries. Although the spring is full of flowers, she tightly tied her petals and had no interest in participating in the lively spring.

Emperor Xuanhe recognized it.

"Spring is coming, and midsummer is not far away. I am going to send your fourth brother to inspect the embankment in Henan, repair what should be repaired and repair what should be repaired, and prepare for flood prevention." Emperor Xuanhe sat on the side of the chessboard and looked at his daughter.

The bored Princess Yongjia raised her eyes when she heard the word "Henan".

Emperor Xuanhe continued, "You set out with your fourth brother and stay in Luoyang Palace. When your fourth brother finishes his work, you can come back with him."

This sentence is like the warmest spring breeze, and finally woke up the sleeping peonies. Princess Yongjia's eyes were filled with brilliance. She suddenly left the seat and rushed to Emperor Xuanhe, rushed over and hugged Emperor Xuanhe's neck and shouted: "Father, wise, father, wise, I know that the father is the best for me!"

Emperor Xuan He's head was almost shaken off by his daughter. Feeling his daughter's ecstasy, Emperor Xuan He was both relieved and finally saw his daughter showing her happy face, and he felt as if her heart was about to be poached.

After Princess Yongjia had enough shook her, Emperor Xuanhe took her hand and said seriously: "Father will give you a chance, but if you like Meng Zhao, he may not like you. If there are people around him, you must remember that you are a princess. You can choose all the heroes and heroes in the world. Don't be sad and resentful in front of him, and lose your princess' majesty. Do you understand?"

Princess Yongjia understood that what she said before was to be an old princess for the rest of her life was entirely to stimulate her father. She liked Meng Zhao and looked down on the children of other aristocratic families in the capital. But if Meng Zhao really didn't have her in her heart, if Meng Zhao really had other beauties around her, then Princess Yongjia would definitely forget him and find a better one for herself.

In mid-March, the 22-year-old Fourth Master, His Highness Ning, was ordered to inspect the Yellow River. The emperor favored Princess Yongjia and asked Princess Yongjia to travel to Luoyang to appreciate the peonies.

Ladies from aristocratic families rarely go so far with their brothers, especially when they move far away, just to enjoy flowers and have fun, but who can make Princess Yongjia the emperor's favorite princess? The most noble daughter in the world does whatever she wants.

Luoyang is not too far from the capital. Princess Ning sets out in mid-March and arrives at Luoyang at the end of the month.

His Highness Ning was going to tour the Yellow River. The court issued documents to officials of relevant prefectures and counties in Henan, but the documents only mentioned His Highness Ning was coming, but did not mention Princess Yongjia.

Meng Zhao, the magistrate of Luoyang, naturally didn't know that Princess Yongjia would come.

Before King Ning arrived in Luoyang, he sent someone to inform local officials to greet him.

Meng Zhao took the county officials to wait outside the county town in advance.

Luoyang is a thousand-year-old ancient capital. The city walls are magnificent. The willows under the city are swaying. The bright sunshine continues to shine on the heads of a group of officials. Even the warm sun also makes people sweat beads appear on the forehead and nose.

The twenty-one-year-old Meng Zhao stood in front of the official, wearing a blue magistrate robe, and was full of a romantic and elegant manner. When the people entering and leaving the city gate saw him, they would stop and look at him for a while. It has been almost two years since Magistrate Meng came to Luoyang. The people have already found out about the family background of Magistrate Meng, knowing that he is the nephew of the imperial concubine, the eldest son of Zhao, the minister of Dali Temple, and the Tanhualang, who was in high school at the age of 19.

The famous families in the capital look down on Meng Zhao's biological father and mother. In the eyes of the people of Luoyang, Meng Zhixian's life experience is already very good. He looks handsome and handsome. Any ladies in Luoyang who have seen him hope to marry Meng Zhixian. Some ladies just think about it. The bold ones have taken the initiative to pursue Meng Zhixian, but Meng Zhixian is very self-disciplined. After two years in Luoyang, there are only two servants who serve him closely, and there is not even a maid in the yard.

The officials waited for half an hour, and the ceremonial guard of His Highness Ning finally appeared.

But after the prince's ceremonial guard, there was a fleet of cars driving, and the guards held banners and wrote "Yongjia".

Meng Zhao was shocked when he saw this.

The quiet discussions of other officials were heard behind him. He didn't understand that Prince Ning was ordered to patrol the river, so why did Princess Yongjia follow him?

Meng Zhao suppressed the shock in his heart in time and reminded everyone in a deep voice not to make noise. After the Ning King's ceremonial guard in front stopped, Meng Zhao walked over quickly to welcome the Ning King on behalf of Luoyang officials.

Ning Wang is only one year older than Meng Zhao. His uncle and aunt regard Meng Zhao as his biological brother. Ning Wang has always treated Meng Zhao as his cousins. However, now, when thinking of the princess sister in the carriage behind, Ning Wang feels complicated. When it comes to his cousins, he likes Meng Zhao very much. If he changes to his future sister-in-law, Ning Wang can't help but think, what ability does Meng Zhao have to make his sister fight with his father for so long?

The father-in-law likes to pick on his son-in-law, and his brother-in-law's eyes are also more stern.

However, even Emperor Xuanhe compromised, and King Ning could only cooperate with his sister and asked Meng Zhao to salute him. Then he explained the purpose of Princess Yongjia coming to Luoyang here and to appreciate the peonies! Emperor Xuanhe made a clear order. During the period of Princess Yongjia's stay in Luoyang, Meng Zhao would be responsible for receiving and escorting the guards. If Princess Yongjia had any mistakes, Meng Zhao would only ask.

Meng Zhao knelt down and received the order.

"Go into the city."

After promulgating the imperial edict, King Ning got into the car again. Meng Zhao avoided one side, lowered his eyebrows and let the ceremonial guard go first.

In the second carriage, Princess Yongjia quietly raised a corner of the curtain, glanced at him and saw the magistrate standing by the road.

After not seeing him for two years, he seemed to have grown taller, his shoulders wider, his eyebrows and eyes became more handsome, and his restrained demeanor was even better.

But Princess Yongjia came here specifically for him. He couldn't hide any longer if he wanted to.

King Ning and Princess Yongjia moved into Luoyang Palace.

Princess Yongjia did not summon Meng Zhao on this day.

King Ning stayed in Luoyang for three days and set out for the next city after three days.

The scenery of Luoyang Palace is beautiful enough. Princess Yongjia was walking around the palace and sent someone to inquire about County Magistrate Meng. She learned that there were no beauties around him and that he had never been to Fireworks Alley. Princess Yongjia was in a mood like the blue sky above her head, extremely comfortable.

On the ninth day of the fourth month, Princess Yongjia sent someone to Luoyang County Government and passed a verbal order from Meng Zhao. If the county magistrate Meng has nothing to do tomorrow, please go to the palace to pick up the princess and follow the princess to the most famous Peony Garden in Luoyang to enjoy the flowers. As for the peony Garden, the park has been closed one day in advance, and I will prepare for the reception of Princess Yongjia early.
