The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

There are soldiers at the border who have fought bloody battles so that the people in the territory can live and work in peace and contentment. At this time, Kyoto has resumed its previous singing and dancing, and the tense atmosphere at the beginning of the national war has passed.

In addition to reviewing the memorials, Xiao Rui has one more thing to care about in the past few days.

March 15th is Xiao Rui's wedding ceremony. Qin Tianjian has already selected the date of the initial ceremony. Although Xiao Rui does not need to arrange it, it is a major event in his life after all, and it is still an ancient wedding ceremony. Xiao Rui is quite Curious, so I asked about the process carefully.

The initial appointment ceremony is also called the engagement banquet. After this ceremony, Zhuge Liuying and Li Ruoxue will be Xiao Rui's wives in name, and they only need to visit and get married when the auspicious day arrives.

Today was the day of rest, and His Majesty finally let Xiao Rui go. Xiao Rui immediately took people out of the palace. The sun was shining today, a rare warm day in the cold winter, and there was no wind. It was very suitable for enjoying the scenery, tasting tea and barbecue.

It was rare to relax today, so Xiao Rui immediately sent someone to invite Zhuge Liuying, Li Ruoxue, and Zhang Ruoxi to come to the garden for a gathering.

As soon as the King of Chu died and the Zhou clan collapsed, Xiao Rui quietly bought this landscape garden in the name of the Zhou clan. Li Xiu'er didn't like Chu Palace, so Xiao Rui gave her Jingyuan to live here.

It has nothing to do with Jinwu Zangjiao, nor is it for convenience!

I am the prince, what an upright person!

Xiao Rui arrived at Jingyuan first, Li Xiuer came out after hearing the news, and said with a smile, "Your Highness is taking a rest today?"

Xiao Rui nodded and said with a smile: "I can finally relax for a day, this prince is really hard to do!"

Li Xiu'er gave him a blank look, and snorted, "Others get what they want, even if it's hard work, they're happy for you. You're lucky, but you still look disgusted. You really got the advantage and started to be good."

"Haha... Sister Xiu'er taught me a lesson." Xiao Rui smiled and said, "I ordered people to invite Liuying and Ruoxue. The weather is fine today. How about we choose a place to enjoy tea and barbecue?"

Li Xiu'er pursed her lips and said: "You have a private meeting with your unmarried lady, it's not good for me to spoil the scenery here."

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "They're all from my own family, so it won't be a big spoiler."

When Li Xiu'er heard it, she felt her heart was beating violently, she didn't dare to look at Xiao Rui, and hummed: "Now I am the widow of King Chu, and you are the crown prince..."

Although she didn't say it clearly, what Li Xiuer wanted to express was very clear.

Xiao Rui pretended to be surprised, and said: "Sister Xiu'er is Ruoxue's cousin, so they are naturally a family! Sister Xiu'er, you actually covet my handsomeness, are you planning to cheat on me?"

Li Xiu'er was so ashamed that she covered her face and was about to run away, but Xiao Rui held her back.

Xiao Rui put away his teasing look, and said solemnly: "Sister Xiu'er, if you are afraid of the world, then we will wait. After I ascend the throne, there is no need to worry."

Li Xiu'er's heart warmed up, the corners of her mouth raised uncontrollably, she couldn't hide her joy.

The two chose a location by the lake, and laid thick cushions on the ground, with plum blossoms beside them, creating a winter scene.

There are servants and maids lighting a charcoal fire to prepare for the barbecue, while Li Yuanfang, Dian Wei, and Yang Youji are fishing by the lake, far away from the hustle and bustle and irritability, and are at ease at this time.

...

Zhuge Liuying went to pick up Li Ruoxue in a carriage, and then went to Zhongyonghou Mansion to find Zhang Ruoxi. Zhang Ruoxi heard the reason, but said apologetically: "Liuying, Ruoxue, I have something to do and I can't go today, you two go, don't make His Highness wait too long."

Zhuge Liuying sighed secretly, she didn't know what her good sister was thinking, so she persuaded: "Ruoxi, Your Highness specifically said that he would invite you over. Among us, you and His Highness knew each other first. It is very important, if you don't go, he will definitely come to invite you in person."

Zhang Ruoxi smiled and said, "Liuying, I really have something to do! I recently made two good friends, and I made an appointment today, and they will be here soon, so I must not miss the appointment."

As soon as the words finished, her personal servant girl entered the room and said, "Miss, the two Miss Lu are here."

Zhang Ruoxi said to the two of them: "Look, the two of them have already arrived, and they just happened to introduce you two."

After speaking, Zhang Ruoxi took the initiative to greet her, and soon brought two women in, and it was none other than Lu Zhi and Lu Su.

Zhang Ruoxi took the initiative to introduce the two, and the four daughters greeted each other. Lu Zhi smiled and said, "So it's the two concubines."

Lu Su also said: "The two concubines are so beautiful."

Zhuge Liuying and Li Ruoxue didn't know Lu Pheasant and Lu Su, and there were no women in Jingdu's boudoirs. After all, twin sisters with such outstanding looks would definitely be famous in Jingdu. But since they are friends with Zhang Ruoxi, they are also their friends, so the two responded friendly.

After chatting for a while, Zhuge Liuying and Li Ruoxue left.

After sending the two away, Zhang Ruoxi stood in front of the door in a daze, with a dazed expression.

She really didn't have the courage to meet Xiao Rui, and it was still in front of Zhuge Liuying and Li Ruoxue. She has an arrogant personality, since she doesn't belong to her, she can't show her sadness!

only…

Even so, it hurts self-esteem to lose the person you like and marry your good sister.

At some point, Lu Zhi came over and handed her a handkerchief.

"Speak out when you've been wronged, it's not okay to keep it in your heart." Lu Zhi explained.

Zhang Ruoxi came back to her senses, it turned out that the corners of her eyes were already wet. She took the handkerchief and smiled: "The wind is too strong, sand has blown into my eyes."

Lu Zhi looked at the clear sky and said with a smile: "It's the wind in my heart... Although my sister and I have just arrived in Kyoto, we have heard a lot of things, and you and I hit it off right away, Ruoxi. Some friends have known each other for a long time. I understand you, some friends just met, but they understand your thoughts!"

Zhang Ruoxi pursed her lips and did not speak.

Lu Zhi said: "It is said that a gentleman does not take what others like, hey... what should you do if you are a good sister. You and His Highness the Crown Prince met first, but I didn't expect Miss Zhuge to become a princess. That's all right, now Miss Li She even became a side concubine..."

Zhang Ruoxi was surprised when she heard Lu Zhi's words, and she defended herself against the injustice, thinking that Li Ruoxue should not take away love.

"It was His Highness who proposed pro-marriage on his own initiative, and there is no dos and don'ts in matters of affection, only suitable or inappropriate, maybe I am indeed inappropriate." Zhang Ruoxi took it very openly, and never complained about Zhuge Liuying and Li Ruoxue.

But Lu Zhi snorted and said: "You are too kind, and your true thoughts are covered up by your proud personality... If it were me, I would fight for it if I like it. If I fight, it may be embarrassing for a while, but if I don't fight, I will be sad for the rest of my life. .”

Zhang Ruoxi did not speak.

At this time, Lu Su ran over and said: "Sister, sister Ruoxi, I think, the first thing to figure out is His Royal Highness's thoughts. If he also likes sister Ruoxi, it's just because he thinks too much, so he doesn't think about it." Take the initiative!"

Zhang Ruoxi's eyes lit up.

Lu Zhi smiled and said: "Yes, Susu is smart, and he said it right. Susu, do you have a crush? Are you so familiar with emotional matters?"

"No way, sister, don't make fun of me." Lu Su blushed and ran away quickly.

Lu Zhi looked at Zhang Ruoxi and said with a smile: "Susu is right, you should see what His Royal Highness is thinking, if His Royal Highness has no intention of treating you, then you should give up as soon as possible. How about we accompany you to Jingyuan?"

"It's not suitable, I just rejected it." Zhang Ruoxi hesitated.

Lu Zhi pulled her wrist and said with a smile: "Let's go, just let Susu and I enjoy the scenery of the Kyoto gardens!"

Just like this, Zhang Ruoxi half pushed and half agreed, and the three daughters left the mansion together.

...

Xiao Rui didn't have to wait long, Zhuge Liuying and Li Ruoxue came, did not see Zhang Ruoxi, Xiao Rui was surprised: "Why didn't Ruoxi come?"

Zhuge Liuying directly pulled Xiao Rui to one side, and when the two stood still, she asked, "Your Highness, how do you feel about Ruoxi?"

"What feeling?" Xiao Rui was taken aback, but didn't understand.

This time for the sake of her sister, Zhuge Liuying said cheekily: "Doesn't Your Highness know about Ruoxi's feelings for His Highness? Why do you ignore her?"

Xiao Rui was taken aback for a moment, then he understood, and then sighed: "Don't blame me this time, Your Majesty made the crown prince too fast, which was beyond my expectation. I was thinking of getting married with Ruoxue, but I was thinking of a way to be loyal and brave." Hou. You also know that Zhongyonghou loves Ruoxi so much, it doesn’t matter whether he agrees to the marriage or not. Now that I have become the prince, if I try to win Zhongyonghou, I will lose my tongue.”

Originally, according to Xiao Rui's plan, if he took down Li Ruoxue and Zhang Ruoxi, and successfully won over Li Mingchong, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and Zhang Jinfu, the marquis of Zhongyong, his power would be stronger! I never thought, I haven't explained the situation to Marquis Zhongyong, and I have become the prince now.

As the crown prince, it was too high-profile to continue to win over generals, and he had to be cautious. Considering these reasons, Xiao Rui stopped his actions.

Zhuge Liuying was taken aback, completely unexpected.

She spat and muttered in a low voice: "I knew it, how could you let Ruoxi go? Men are really like this!"

"What did you say?" Xiao Rui asked immediately without hearing clearly.

Zhuge Liuying blushed and said, "It's okay, I'm leaving..."

After speaking, he turned around and fled.

Xiao Rui tsk-tsk smiled and said, "It's good to find Liuying as a wife. Before I even asked, I took the initiative to find another wife for myself... tsk tsk... so happy!"

"If all male compatriots in the world can marry such a daughter-in-law, then the world will be peaceful, there will be no more quarrels and disputes, and the family will be happy!"

"This is also my duty as a prince!"

...

This guy has already started to chatter.

Next, Xiao Rui played poker with Liuying, Ruoxue, and Xiu'er. Originally, Xiao Rui suggested that whoever loses should kiss the winner, but the three women strongly objected. Then Xiao Rui could only reluctantly suggest, whoever wins and kisses the loser, the three women still strongly oppose it, it is really hard to serve.

In the end, you can only cancel the bet and simply play the cards.

And when the four of them fought for a few rounds, the servants came to report that the young lady from the Zhongyonghou Mansion had arrived.

Zhuge Liuying and Li Ruoxue were overjoyed, and hurried to greet them, and Li Xiuer also went to see how the barbecue was going.

Xiao Rui was enjoying the warm winter sun, and he was in a very good mood at this time.

When he was in a good mood, everything went well, so he immediately started the only chance left to come!

"Use wish points! Descend to the loyal camp counselor!"

"Opening comes!"

"The system is coming, please wait..."

...

When the system was loading, Xiao Rui listened to the laughter behind him, and looked back, hey, not only Zhang Ruoxi is here, but also a pair of sisters, Lu Zhi and Lu Su.

The two girls also saw Xiao Rui and bowed to salute. Lu Zhi smiled and said, "Today is His Highness's private banquet. My sister and I came here uninvited. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "It's my honor for you two to come! It's just that I didn't expect you two to meet Ruoxi when they first arrived in the capital."

"Sister Ruoxi is a chivalrous person, she helped me and my sister, we hit it off after a few chats." Lu Zhi explained.

Lu Su said cheerfully: "Yes, yes, sister Ruoxi's martial arts is amazing. I envy people who learn martial arts the most, don't you, sister?"

Lu Zhi smiled, but did not speak.

Xiao Rui's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he looked at Zhang Ruoxi.

Zhang Ruoxi didn't dare to look directly at Xiao Rui, so she quickly saluted and ran to find Li Xiu'er.

Xiao Rui touched his nose, is he a tiger? Can't eat people!

Then the game officially begins.

Zhuge Liuying, Zhang Ruoxi, Li Ruoxue, and Lu Zhi played cards, Li Xiuer and the maids prepared to barbecue, and Xiao Rui went to Li Yuanfang and the others to fish together.

The youngest Lu Su looked left and right, then ran to the river, stood beside Xiao Rui, and asked, "Your Highness, do you need talented people by your side?"

Xiao Rui asked in surprise: "Need it, why, do you know it?"

Lu Su nodded again and again, and said: "I lived in Xuanzhou since I was a child. Once I fell into the water and almost drowned. I was rescued by a big brother. I heard that he is a famous talent in Xuanzhou. It's a pity that I didn't pass the imperial examination. To serve the country. I thought it would be good to help him return favors.”

Xiao Rui nodded, and said: "For your sake, you let him come to the capital, my king's Zhan Shifu needs talents."

"Really? It's a pity that he may not come. I heard that he has been unsuccessful for a long time and has gone into seclusion." Lu Su sighed.

Xiao Rui didn't ask, but asked: "You and your sister lived in Xuanzhou since childhood?"

"I am, my elder sister is not. She lives with my aunt and only comes home for a long time... She came back only after the death of her father this time, and she will never leave again." After Lu Su finished speaking, her expression was a little lonely. It is indeed very pitiful to lose my father at the age of 10.

Xiao Rui comforted: "Uncle Mingyi and your mother are reunited, this can be regarded as happiness in misfortune."

"Yes, my sister said the same thing." Lu Su nodded.

At this moment, Lu Pheasant called Lu Su, and Lu Su got up to leave, but refused to let him say: "Your Highness, don't forget to promise me... I will invite him to the capital to fulfill his ambitions. People in Xuanzhou praised him, saying that he is a great talent, and my father also praised him for his talent in planning and planning, winning a victory thousands of miles away!"

Xiao Rui was shocked, this evaluation was awesome, and it was still evaluated by Uncle Ming Yi!

Uncle Ming Yi's foresight is obvious to all, after all, when he was willing to worship the poor Majesty, he knew that His Majesty was not a treasure.

Just when Xiao Rui was about to ask questions, the prompt sound in his mind finally sounded.

"Ding dong... the arrival is complete!"
