Chapter 112: I just promised her
As soon as they heard the arrival of these big figures, everyone in the guest seats stood up, did not worship, but leaned over to them and saluted: "See the emperor!
As for Hua Guifei and Jin Guifei, some people are still saluting respectfully, while others are still leaning over and ignoring them.
Qiqi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Concubine Yi clearly came with them, every time she appeared in the past, Gonggong Li would also report Concubine Yi's name, although she was the last one, but at least she would report it.
This time, I didn't even mention it.
Concubine Yi just lowered her head all the way and walked quietly behind everyone, Gonggong Li represented the emperor, and this move was clearly giving Concubine Yi the strictest warning.
In the past, Concubine Yi, who was high-spirited, is now like a flower, only the emperor ignored it a little, and suddenly today is different from the past, and there is no glory of the day.
As soon as the emperor waved his hand, Gonggong Li's sharp voice paused: "No courtesy." ”
The crowd straightened up and took their seats.
"Have you arrived?" As soon as he quieted down, King Chu whispered to Gonggong Li beside him.
King Xuan's position was below his right, but now, the seat was empty.
Did the person not arrive or did something go away after they came?
Gonggong Li replied softly: "Back to the emperor, Lord Xuan has not yet arrived." ”
The Queen Mother on the side suddenly became nervous and glanced at King Chu.
King Chu naturally knew what she was nervous about, not to mention her, even himself.
Who doesn't know that tonight's banquet, in the name of being for the sake of all countries, is actually to let Prince Xuan take a closer look at all the girls who appear on the Fang list?
This is the first round of screening! Not only are all the princesses and county lords from all countries present, but also the daughters of some major sects on the rivers and lakes are also among them, and when the prince Xuan comes to take a few looks, he will turn around and send the portrait to him, if you like it, you can choose it directly, and if you don't like it, you can directly cross out the name.
Anyway, Lord Xuan is the protagonist of tonight, what can he do if he doesn't come?
It's not that they don't know that this emperor has not been very interested in choosing a concubine, and it is not unusual for him not to come tonight, just hoping that he can give some face and take a few glances at these girls' families.
"Tell someone to go and see what is going on. King Chu said in a deep voice.
"Yes. Gonggong Li took the name and took two little eunuchs and hurriedly wanted to leave.
At this moment, a little eunuch suddenly shouted outside the venue: "Lord Xuan has arrived!"
Everyone was stunned, and their eyes brushed to the entrance of the golden velvet blanket outside the venue.
When Lord Xuan arrived, some people were surprised and some were looking forward to it, some people were nervous and some people were uneasy, and many people finally let go of their hearts.
On the golden velvet carpet, Chu Xuanchi walked with a steady step, coming steadily without hurrying, and beside him was the almost inseparable Dongfang Ming, just the two of them, but they had already grabbed everyone's attention as soon as they entered the venue.
It's not that Chu Xuanchi deliberately came late to show his worth, in fact, compared to the hour that the little eunuch said when he spoke, he had already come to the time of a stick of incense.
It's just that these people are in a hurry, either they want to see him early, or they have various purposes, even the emperor and the queen mother and several concubines are also seated in advance, this matter, it's really no wonder to him.
Everyone waited with bated breath, especially the girls, after seeing Lord Xuan, their hearts not only beat wildly, but also tightened and tightened.
The most terrifying thing is, why is it that after seeing Lord Xuan, his heart is so lost, and he has no confidence at all? Why does he feel that his face has suddenly become dust on the ground when he walks past him?
Even Qiqi had to admit that this man's noble temperament and stunning beauty could rob everyone of their confidence and the only sunshine that fell on them.
On the contrary, the men on the side all watched the actions of Prince Xuan with great interest, wondering if he would stop in front of the seat of the Seventh Princess of Nanmu Kingdom like the previous princes and princes?
The Seven Princesses have served so many distinguished guests, could one of them be Lord Xuan?
I don't know why I dare to guess so boldly, but I just can't stop thinking so.
The third prince of the Jin Kingdom, Dongling Haotian, the second prince of the Yue Kingdom, Tuoba Liancheng, and the Yun prince of the Chu Kingdom, which one is not a person like a famous immortal?
What about Lord Xuan? Will he stop too?
Chu Xuanchi was getting closer and closer to Qiqi, and there were only a dozen steps left.
Even Qiqi couldn't help but get nervous inexplicably, would he stop and say hello to himself? However, this thought had just flashed through his mind, and even he couldn't help but make fun of his boredom.
Not to mention that it is impossible for her to keep his footsteps with such a status, it is purely because she is still detoxifying him, and for the sake of secrecy, it is absolutely impossible for him to show too much closeness to her outside.
What did he say today to accompany her to greet her eldest brother, in fact, it was just to greet Tuoba Liancheng and Tuoba Feiya.
He can't take the initiative to get close to him outside, think about it.
Therefore, I was at ease, but I no longer felt nervous, and even picked up the cup and wanted to chat with the eldest brother.
However, the eldest brother was stunned by a certain man again, staring at the handsome faces of others, and his speech was inarticulate: "Beautiful, really beautiful, Qiqi, how can you say that there are men who are more beautiful than women? Qiqi?"
Qiqi's face sank suddenly, pinched his arm, and said in a low voice: "Beware of saliva!
Murong Yifeng came back to his senses, and really reached out to wipe the corners of his lips, fortunately, the legendary Harazi did not appear, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.
"Hehe, I've never seen such a beautiful man. He generously admitted that he was a nymphomaniac, not a little embarrassed, "However, although the eldest brother admits that he is good-looking, you want to participate in the ...... election."
"Shut up. ”
Qiqi scolded lightly, and his heart suddenly tensed because of the man who was close.
Everyone breathed and looked at the scene in disbelief.
Xuan Wangye...... actually stopped at the seat of the seventh princess, he actually ...... is really one of the guests of the Seven Princesses!
Everyone's heart is messed up, their breathing is messed up, and their heartbeat is messed up!
It's one thing to guess, it's another thing to see it with your own eyes, but when you guess it's just a joke, it's shocking to the extreme.
Men are more interested in Murong Qiqi and more curious, and most of them are thinking now that if they kiss Fang Ze one day, they will have no regrets in this life.
Not for anything else, not because Murong Qiqi is really so charming, just because Lord Xuan is one of her men.
What an honor it is to be fortunate to share a woman with Lord Xuan in this life?
However, didn't I hear that King Xuan had a habit of cleanliness? He never used things that others used, so how could he be willing to use women that others had used?
Things, it's amazing......
No matter how others guessed, Chu Xuanchi had already stopped and stopped in front of the seat of the envoy of Nanmu Kingdom.
He came, but he didn't even greet the emperor and the queen mother, so he went to the seventh princess of Nanmu Kingdom first, what is this? What does this mean?
The emperor in the high position, the Empress Dowager Cining, and even a few concubines and ladies have the same unsightly faces, and they can even be said to be ugly, not that they complain that the prince does not give face, but they are all disgusted with Murong Qiqi's lowly status and filthy reputation.
Lord Xuan, you won't really fall in love with her, will you?
The people present all had their own thoughts, but Chu Xuanchi didn't seem to notice these at all, or even if he did, he didn't pay attention to them.
He stepped in front of Qiqi, but he stopped, and his indifferent gaze fell on her little face, which was clearly shocked, and he was silent.
After a while, Qiqi finally reacted, stood up hurriedly, took a deep breath, and saluted in a shallow voice: "I've seen King Xuan." ”
His scalp tingled, and he didn't know what he wanted to do or what he meant by doing it.
With this move, not only was she pushed to the forefront, but even he himself was bound to be troubled by all the royal families and envoys of various countries in the coming days.
What exactly was he thinking?
Murong Yifeng, who was beside him, also stood up, but he only stood with Qiqi, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak at all.
What did Chu Xuanchi want to do? In fact, he didn't think about anything, he just promised that he couldn't pretend not to know her outside after Qiqi, she said that she would be sad, and since he agreed, he would do it.
Telling the world that they know each other, is it in line with her wishes?
"Hmm. Hearing Qiqi's salute, he replied lightly, he was going to turn around and leave, but he didn't want the corner of his eye to sweep to her table, and there was not even a cup on it.
Thick eyebrows frowned slightly, only hesitated for a moment, he turned around and walked towards the emperor and the queen mother, leaned over slightly and greeted: "Father, grandmother." ”
The two exhaled lightly, and the emperor immediately smiled: "The emperor doesn't need to be polite, take a seat." ”
Chu Xuan bowed his head and walked towards his seat.
But, where is he going to take a seat? His seat is clearly a little below the emperor's right hand side, and that is the main seat that even the concubines and ladies can't sit!
All kinds of eyes were locked on Chu Xuanchi, all kinds of speculations, all kinds of questions.
Behind him, Gonggong Li chased two steps and said softly: "Prince, Prince...... Your seat is here. ”
Chu Xuanchi glanced back at him, and also glanced at the position that was originally reserved for him, his good-looking thin lips moved slightly, and said lightly: "Don't you want this king to take a look at the girls?
After that, he ignored Gonggong Li's embarrassment, continued to take a steady step, and walked to the guest seat at the bottom step by step.
Xuan Wangye's words, everyone really can't refute it, although this seat is a high position, you can see all the girls below, but the distance is too far, you can only see the head, you can't see everyone's appearance at all.
However, the important girls have been arranged around here, including the nine princesses of the Jin Kingdom and the six princesses of the Yue Kingdom, as well as the princesses from the five major countries, and even several ladies in the harem and the beauties carefully arranged by the Queen Mother.
