"I received news that Prince Qin will arrive tomorrow. Presumably, tomorrow His Majesty will set up a palace banquet to wash the dust of Prince Qin. Originally, I was going to participate in that palace banquet, but now I'm just afraid."

Ouyang Xiu sighed.

"Maybe"

Dongfang Lian lowered his head and thought deeply, some things are still traceable, Ouyang Xiu did not attend the palace banquet in his previous life, so Ouyang Xiang had an accident and went to make peace with Long Anle instead.

What will happen tomorrow night?

"Xiu, I'll protect your family. Feel relieved. ”

will never let Ouyang Xiang go to kiss, even if she has no good impression of Ouyang Xiang.

However, she didn't want to see Ouyang Xiu's sadness in the future.

"I've heard that, too. The candidate for peace with the Qin State, His Majesty has three people in his heart. One is Princess Anle. But she didn't seem to want to marry into Qin. The second is Xiang'er. She is the highest-ranking noble girl among the six major families. Three, it's you. ”

What Ouyang Xiu is most worried about is Oriental Love.

"Lian'er, I remember you told me that don't let Xiang'er go and kiss must have your reasons. But you have to protect yourself. If there's really no way, I think, there's only one person who can protect you. ”

Ouyang Xiu knew that that person was Long Jing Maniac.

Although he really wanted to protect Dongfang Lian, he couldn't compare to Long Jingmai's status in Long Hong's heart.

Long Jingmad is what kind of thing he proposes, and Long Hong will agree.

But he didn't.

He wanted to marry Dongfang Lian, but Long Hong also refused. Being a minister does have all kinds of helplessness and difficulty.

If you don't obey, you will have a rebellion and will punish the nine clans. The imperial power is greater than the sky, who can not obey it?

That's why he doesn't like officialdom.

He wasn't a man who could succumb to power, but he had to obey.

"I know what you mean. Xiu, don't worry, I won't let myself get into trouble. So, Xiu, you have to get better too. We're going to get married. ”

Although I don't know if this hope is possible to be realized.

However, since he promised Ouyang Xiu, Dongfang Lian would persist until the last moment.

However, since he promised Ouyang Xiu, Dongfang Lian would persist until the last moment.

The next day.

Palace feast.

Dongfang Lian rarely set off into the palace with Murong Yi, Dongfang Painting, as well as Dongfang Shu and Dongfang Qing.

Of course, this battle was requested by Murong as the head mother of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion. With the support of Dongfang Fengyuan, Dongfang Lian had no choice but to temporarily restrain his temper and enter the palace with Murong Yi.

However, she was in her own carriage, and Murong Yi sat in the only luxurious carriage in the Zuo Xiangfu with Dongfang Painting. Dongfang Shu and Dongfang Qing had to take an ordinary carriage.

"Seventh sister, how is your entry into King Jing's Mansion?"

On the carriage, Dongfang Qing said.

Mother said, "Almost." ”

Dongfang Shu was actually not sure, because she had never even seen Long Jingmad alone, and she didn't know what Long Jingmani's attitude was.

But Murong Yi has always been full of confidence, and she has no choice but to believe her.

Anyway, now that her father has handed over her marriage to Murong to arrange, she has no choice.

"Sister, I heard that you are going to enter the Seven Kings' Mansion, how is it?"

Dongfang Shu is also curious about Dongfang Qing's fate.

Is this the fate of their concubines?

In fact, there are some unwillingness.

If it was a side concubine, she might be happy to accept it. However, it is just a concubine's room. But so what?

"I don't know. ”

Dongfang Qing shook his head.

In the past few days, she has added those medicines to the diet of Dongfang Painting according to Dongfang Lian's order, although Dongfang Painting is still a little lame when walking, but it is much better than before.

I really don't understand what kind of arrangement Dongfang Lian has, obviously he hates Dongfang Painting so much, and he has been targeting Murong Yi and Dongfang Painting, why should he make Dongfang Hua's feet better

Inside the carriage, Dongfang Lian quietly closed his eyes, predicting what might happen tonight.

Prince Qin, Qin Guan.

The Prince Qin in his memory, with a handsome face, is quite outstanding.

Even compared with the princes of the Phoenix Kingdom, it is not inferior.

Handsome, charming, cold, extravagant.

I still remember that in my previous life, the noble daughters who wanted to marry the prince of Qin were actually piled up, but in the end, they fell on Ouyang Xiang, who was reluctant to marry Qin.

All this is because Long Anle cares about Ouyang Xiu, doesn't want to marry Prince Qin and hates her at the same time, and wants to blame her, so he will let Ouyang Xiang Prince Qin.

I have to say that Long Anle's move is really high. In that case, let her suffer the consequences!

"Liu'er, at the palace banquet in a while, you have to do something for me!"

Dongfang Liansai gave Liu Er some silver tickets and explained what Liu Er was going to do, "Do you remember?"

"I know, don't worry, Liu Er will do it when she finds the opportunity. ”

"Well, it has to be. Tonight, the fate of many is at stake. "Golden Mountain Butterfly

"Yes. ”

has been in love with Dongfang for so long, and Liu Er has become more and more stable.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, and Dongfang Hua stepped out of the carriage with the support of Yahuan Shuang'er.

For a while, everyone's eyes were on Dongfang Hua's body, not because of her reputation as the first beauty in Phoenix, but because she heard that her leg was lame.

This is the first time she has appeared in front of everyone after her leg is lame.

The first n in Phoenix City actually ended up as a cripple, which can't help but be a pity.

Dongfang Hua felt the eyes of everyone looking at her, with sympathy and a joke expression, and suddenly, her body stood straight.

Dongfang Hua felt the eyes of everyone looking at her, with sympathy and a joke expression, and suddenly, her body stood straight.

The legs, which were originally sore when walking, were not too painful, and they actually walked smoothly and even a little elegantly.

"Hey, isn't it rumored that Dongfang Painting's leg is lame, why is there no lame?"

Someone saw the Oriental painting walking posture and started to discuss.

"Yes, could it be that you don't want to get married, so you deceive the king?"

"It's possible"

As soon as Murong Yi heard this kind of discussion, he immediately looked at Dongfang Painting warningly, "Painting?"

“”

Dongfang Hua also realized something, and suddenly, he walked with a limp again. It's just that Dongfang Painting himself is also a little puzzled, why didn't he feel leg pain just now?

Murong Yi walked up to Dongfang Hua and whispered, "You have to pay attention to your own behavior. ”

"Mother, my leg didn't hurt just now. ”

Oriental painting whispered.

"What?"

Murong Yi was also surprised, she didn't want Dongfang Hua's legs and feet to get better automatically at this time, and besides, she hadn't gone to a famous doctor for treatment.

The imperial doctors all said that they would not get better in a short period of time, and they might even be disabled for the rest of their lives.

Murong Yi has always been worried that even if the secret marriage is dissolved in the future, this leg will not be better.

But how can it get better tonight? If there is no secret marriage, this state is naturally happy, but now the secret marriage has not been dissolved.

"Painting, my mother's eyelids jumped, and I always felt that nothing good would happen tonight. You have to be careful. ”

"Yes, mother. ”

After the previous situation and lessons in the palace, Oriental painting had to be cautious.

She was originally the proud daughter of the sky, but now she has ended up pitiful and sympathetic, and her heart is naturally dark.

Even, she wants to return everything she suffered before to Dongfang Lian.

Murong Yi thought about it, and it was probably the same.

Last time, she framed Dongfang Lian and couldn't succeed, and was exploited by Long Hong for the title of Mrs. Yipin, and now everyone is watching her jokes.

However, no matter how down-and-out she Murong Yi is, she is also the daughter of the Zhenguo Mansion and the wife of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion.

She is still qualified to enter this palace.

Everyone was seated, and the palace banquet officially began.

The first round was played with a short opening song and dance.

Everyone seems to be intoxicated with the singing and dancing of the highest artistic level in the Phoenix Kingdom, but in fact, there are all kinds of ambitions hidden under those faces

Because it was a banquet for Prince Qin, it was a state banquet, which was different from the palace banquets in the past, and all the furnishings were very grand. Tonight's songs and everything are carefully choreographed, and the dancers are all very beautiful.

And Qin Guan, the crown prince of Qin, sat in the VIP seat.

He was good-looking and well-mannered, and everyone's eyes were on him.

Or curiosity, or inquiry, or research.

I saw his smooth and fair face, revealing an angular cold handsomeness.

The eyes are dark and deep, bright and deep.

The thick eyebrows like flying swords, and the tall nose that shows the air of nobility.

Thin lips, at first glance are ruthless, but chuckling, surprisingly charming.

With such a face, I heard that the popularity among the nobles of the Qin Kingdom is also extremely high.

Although his virtue is not very good, in the Qin State, there are a lot of women vying to be his concubines.

This came to the Phoenix Kingdom, and it seems that the popularity is not far behind.

The first round of short songs is over.

Long Hong raised his glass.

"Come, Prince Qin, on behalf of the Phoenix Kingdom, I welcome the arrival of Prince Qin. ”

Long Hong raised his glass.

"Come, Prince Qin, on behalf of the Phoenix Kingdom, I welcome the arrival of Prince Qin. ”

"Don't dare. Your Majesty the Phoenix Kingdom, you are extremely noble, and you are the monarch of the strongest country in our Canghuang Continent. In front of you, this prince is a junior. How dare I accept your glass of wine? ”

When the Qin clan and the Long clan were both ministers of the previous dynasty before, the friendship was good.

However, in order to compete for the world, the friendship between the two families has been weakened again and again.

But now, the Qin State is facing the interference of its neighbors, and at the same time, the Phoenix State also has foreign enemies, so the two families have the intention of forming an alliance.

After Long Hong and the monarch of Qin passed the letter, Qin Guan went to the Phoenix Kingdom to select the candidate for the crown princess, and the two countries were solemnly married. The two-dimensional troublemaking system

The other five countries are also staring at this matter, so whether the two kingdoms of Qin and Huang can succeed in harmony is really related to the blessings of the two countries, and even affects the pattern of political power in the Canghuang Continent.

In fact, this harmony is so important, Dongfang Lian really can't imagine why Ouyang Xiang ended up in this fate after marrying Qin State in his previous life.

Because of Ouyang Xiang's death and the anger of the Taiwei Mansion, the two countries almost went to war.

"There, Prince Qin came from afar. It is the distinguished guest of the Phoenix Kingdom. Come on, have a toast. ”

Ryuhiro raised his glass aloft in the air.

"Your Majesty Xie Huangguo. ”

Qin Guan toasted to Long Hong, and at the same time, his sharp eyes turned around on the faces of several princes of the Phoenix Kingdom, as well as several important political figures.

According to the seat, the first emperor Sun Long Jing mad

The fourth son of the emperor, Long Qilin!

The fifth son of the emperor rises from the dragon!

The sixth son of the emperor is Long Qihao!

The seventh son of the emperor is longqijin!

The prince Long Qisheng

Then there is another one, Dongfang Fengyuan, who is the left minister, and Li Zhongyuan, the right minister!

Then there is Taiwei Ouyang Tao, Zhenguo Gong Murong Zixiong, Fuguo Gongyu Wen Songzhi, and so on.

"This prince has always heard that the Sixth and Seventh Highnesses of the Phoenix Kingdom are particularly capable, and they are the right-hand men of His Majesty the Phoenix Kingdom, and he has always wanted to get acquainted. If I am fortunate to see it today, it is better to have a cup of the sixth and seventh highnesses of the crown prince. ”

Qin Guan raised his glass and said, his eyes were also looking at Long Qihao, Long Qijin.

"Prince Qin, Rong Zhen will mind the eldest grandson of the Phoenix Kingdom first. ”

Long Hong's wide long sleeves waved, and he pointed at Long Jingmad.

Long Jingmad stood up with a smile on his face.

Picking up the wine glass, he raised it towards Prince Qin, "Jing, salute Prince Qin." ”

"It turned out to be King Jing. King Jing is the most beautiful man this prince has ever seen, that is, as a man, this prince is jealous of King Jing's appearance. ”

Qin Guan talked and laughed.

Although he praised Long Jingmania's beauty, everyone knew that men won the world with their talents, and when this beauty was mentioned, there were some

But Long Jingfang didn't seem to care about Qin Guan's words at all, but accepted it with a smile, "Jing has been suffering from illness for many years, and there is indeed nothing else to do except this look." But I want to be able to spend more time with the emperor's grandfather, and I am very relieved. This time, the prince of Qin came to the Phoenix Kingdom, and he heard the emperor's grandfather mention it, is it for the two countries?"

"Exactly. ”

Prince Qin replied.

Others listened to the conversation between Long Jingmad and Prince Qin, and those who had been in the officialdom for many years also heard some doorways.

Because although everyone knew about Prince Qin's trip, Long Hong didn't directly mention it to anyone.

But Long Hong told Long Jingmad about it. The matter of peace between the two countries is a state affair.

The emperor's eldest grandson had never taken care of political affairs before, but now he actually discussed political affairs with Long Hong?

This cannot but be said to be a signal.

The shrewd courtiers have already calculated in their hearts.

This cannot but be said to be a signal.

The shrewd courtiers have already calculated in their hearts.

Long Qijin and Long Qihao are also aware of this.

But neither of them moved, just drank slowly.

"I don't know what Prince Qin's criteria are for the crown princess he wants to marry?"

Long Jingfang asked seemingly casually, but in fact, he brought the whole banquet to the point.

All the noble ladies were interested in Prince Qin, and they all stretched their necks to listen to Prince Qin's criteria for choosing a concubine.

"Prince Ben likes wise women. It would be better if he could help the crown prince in the future, and bring peace to the two countries, and bring the relationship between the Qin State and the Phoenix State closer. ”

Qin Guan said.

"There is only one princess in the Phoenix Kingdom who is not married. ”

Long Hong listened and pointed to Long Anle, who was sitting next to Sun Concubine.

"An Le, come, say hello to Prince Qin. ”

"An Le has seen Prince Qin. ”

The demeanor is thousands, showing the dignity of the princess of the Phoenix Kingdom. Today's Long Anle has also been carefully dressed up. Anyway, she is willing or unwilling to kiss this person, but Prince Qin, she must say hello, because this is etiquette.

"The princess is very good-looking. ”

When Qin Guan saw Long Anle, there was no obvious wave in his eyes, which Long Hong also saw in his eyes. Although Long Anle is a princess, her mother, Sun Concubine's maiden family, is not strong enough after all.

And the noble daughters of the other six major families, although their status is not as good as Long Anle, Prince Qin may still take a fancy to their family's power in the Phoenix Kingdom.

So Long Hong had already decided, that is, to let all the nobles who were on the stage and wanted to marry Qin come to participate in tonight's self-recommendation.

"Prince Qin. In addition to Princess Anle, there are many noble daughters of major families. ”

Long Hong pointed to the beautiful woman under the seat.

There are a few of them, who secretly sent Qiu Bo to Prince Qin.
