The birthday banquet was still going on, and as soon as Ning Chen sat back in his seat, he heard the eldest grandson speak. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Xinyu, go and pour wine for the Knowing Destiny Hou!"
Everyone present trembled, and the shock in their eyes was incomparable, what did the queen mean by this.
At this moment, not only the ministers, but even Ning Chen's face changed.
He can ignore other people's opinions and ideas, but not the eldest grandson.
There was nothing to pour wine, but just now, the eldest grandson had already mentioned his marriage, and at this moment, let the ninth princess pour wine for him, and everyone could see the purpose.
Xia Xinyu was also stunned, she didn't react for a while, and even forgot to respond to the eldest grandson's order.
Xia Ziyi also got up and was about to speak, but was stopped by a stern look from the eldest grandson.
At this moment, the sound of lime sounded in the ears of the two of them, and after a moment, their expressions changed drastically.
Ning Chen, the identity of the eunuch turned out to be fake!
"Don't make a noise, Niang Niang is trying to figure out how to deal with this matter," Lime continued.
The eldest prince hesitated a little, and looked at his sister, he couldn't decide the marriage for Xinyu.
"Yes, Queen Mother" Xia Xinyu came back to her senses at this moment, Ying Ying bowed, responded to the order of the eldest grandson, and then moved lightly, came to Ning Chen, and leaned over to pour wine.
"Fateful, please"
"Princess Xie"
The eyes touched, the breeze rose, blowing through three or two pear blossoms, blocking between the two, making the vision of the two blurred for a moment.
Ning Chen took the wine glass and drank it all, Xia Xinyu poured another glass, and continued:
"Knowing the fate, Xinyu will give you another cup"
Raising a glass to invite, the most beautiful woman in Great Xia officially set her eyes on Ning Chen for the first time, and her eyes flashed with a complicated light.
"Please"
Ning Chen's expression was calm, he couldn't see the change in his heart, the two glasses collided, a crisp collision sound sounded, and the two of them had their own thoughts and drank all the wine in the cup.
After two glasses of wine, Xia Xinyu returned to her seat and was silent.
"The Knowing Destiny Hou is more than seventeen years old, and he has not yet married a wife, and the palace wants to marry the Ninth Princess to you, I don't know what the Knowing Destiny Hou will do" While speaking, the eldest grandson looked over, with a fierceness that could not be refused, which made Ning Chen and Xia Xinyu's mood sink.
The shock on the faces of the ministers could not be concealed, even the third prince showed a different color, and the queen's decision was really confusing.
Ning Chen didn't respond, his mind turned quickly, he didn't understand why the eldest grandson suddenly had this thought, what was it for?
Xia Ziyi looked at her sister-in-law, a hint of inquiry flashed in her eyes, Xia Xinyu hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't resist the true thoughts in her heart, and shook her head gently.
She and Ning Chen haven't seen each other a few times in total, don't talk about marriage, and they can't even be considered friends.
At this moment, the tenth prince walked out and said, "Queen Mother, the son has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not."
"Speak," the eldest grandson said lightly.
Xia Mingri glanced at Ning Chen, and then said respectfully, "Queen Mother Mingjian, although the Marquis of Knowing His Fate has outstanding military achievements and has been made a marquis at a young age, after all, he has been promoted too quickly and is easy to be jealous, and now that he is married, it may be difficult to convince the public, after all, the mouth of Youyou cannot be blocked."
"The queen mother, the sons and daughters also disagree with this marriage, and hope that the queen mother will think twice"
Under the seat, Xia Ziyi sighed lightly, and finally spoke, directly expressing his attitude, since Xinyu did not agree, he couldn't force it.
"The queen mother, the sons also think it's inappropriate" For some reason, the third prince Xia Yanwu also denied the marriage.
When the words fell, the atmosphere quieted down in an instant, and the three princes rarely agreed, and none of them agreed to the marriage between Ning Chen and the Ninth Princess.
Everyone's eyes looked at Ning Chen, now that the decision of the matter has been in the hands of the Knowing Destiny Marquis, if he nods, the queen mother has spoken, and it is useless for anyone to object.
This is a great emperor's grace, and the ninth princess is impeccable regardless of her identity and appearance, and the marquis has no reason to refuse.
However, a trace of worry flashed in Lime's eyes, she knew that Ning Chen, it was impossible for him to agree to the marriage, but the queen's will would not change either, both of them were stubborn, and once they quarreled, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Under the eyes of everyone, Ning Chen got up and said with a very serious expression, "Queen Mother, please take back your fate"
"Needless to say, this palace has made up its mind!" the eldest grandson said coldly.
The ninth princess was raised by her, before the new emperor ascended the throne, she must find a good home for her, as for Ning Chen, this kid should also get married, take care of it, Xinyu is cheap to marry him.
Ning Chen's mood was very heavy, he knew that the eldest grandson was kind, in this world, marriage has always been the words of the matchmaker at the behest of his parents, and the younger generation has no right to interfere at all.
However, he is not a person of this world and cannot accept this thought.
"Niangniang, Weichen already has a crush, forgive me" Ning Chen stepped forward, bent down and knelt down, and insisted.
"Presumptuous!" the eldest grandson was angry and took the case, this kid doesn't know what to do!
"Mother, please calm your anger," Lime quickly persuaded.
"Shut up!" the eldest grandson snapped.
Lime had no choice but to retreat, she was afraid that this kind of thing would happen, but she didn't expect it to happen.
"This palace will ask you, to marry or not to marry!" the eldest grandson looked at Ning Chen, who was kneeling below, and said in a deep voice.
"Don't marry!" Ning Chen said with a firm expression.
"Okay, very good!" the eldest grandson got up directly and said coldly, "Come on, drive back to the palace!"
The queen got up, two beautiful palace maids stepped forward, the lotus step moved out of the pavilion lightly, the golden canopy covered the flying flowers, and in the eyes of Zhu Qing, the gold and silver silk Luan bird fluttered in the wind towards the phoenix embroidery pattern, and slowly went away.
The birthday banquet began in calm and ended in the hearts of thousands of people, the eldest grandson withdrew, and the gaze he looked at when he left made Ning Chen's heart sink again.
The ministers retreated, and their last gaze also looked at Ning Chen's side, the youngest martial artist in Great Xia, who was out of the limelight today, but I don't know if this refusal to marry, the emperor's grace is still as vast as in the past.
The third prince and the tenth prince came one after another, expressed their goodwill, and invited Ning Chen to come to the mansion as a guest.
No matter what happens today, the Marquis of Zhiming is still a martial marquis, and his impact on the future throne is still immeasurable.
Avoiding the inevitable situation, Ning Chen no longer flinched, nodded in response, and bluntly said that he would come to visit.
The two princes left satisfied, they knew very well which side the marquis belonged to, and which side would take the lead in the battle for the throne.
After everyone left, there were only four people left in the Nine Palace Garden, Ning Chen, Mingyue, Xia Ziyi, and Xia Xinyu.
Mingyue had already fallen asleep by the table, and the remaining three people had their own thoughts, relatively silent, drinking silently, the wind outside the pavilion rose, the pear blossoms fell, and gradually, they couldn't even see the way back.
The sky gradually dimmed, the bright moon rose, shining in the sky, the bright moonlight reflected the white pear blossoms in the garden, illuminating the Jiugong Garden like the Moon Palace, beautiful and abnormal.
In the pavilion, the nine princesses danced to the moon, with a delicate body, a perfect face, reflecting the color of the snow, exuding a crystal light, fluttering skirts, rotating under the moon, like a spirit in the world, the beauty is thrilling.
"Do you regret it?" Xia Ziyi suddenly said without a head or tail.
Ning Chen was stunned for a moment, then chuckled lightly, and said, "People are born to do something and not to do something, since you have decided, you will never regret it!"
"Pride!"
Xia Ziyi also smiled, and the two raised their glasses to drink together, drinking wine, and even more sympathizing with each other.
"I have always heard that the Knowing Destiny Marquis is extraordinary, but I have never had the opportunity to ask for advice, today, the opportunity is rare, it is better to fight" Xia Ziyi looked at Ning Chen, and the battle intent rose in his eyes.
"Oh" autumn water is full of water, flying in front of Ning Chen, the cold air is pressing, reflecting the moonlight.
"My skill is special, there is not much difference between having a sword and not having a sword" Ning Chen got up and slowly walked outside the pavilion, and his battle intent erupted, stirring up snowflakes in the sky.
"Refreshing"
With a wave of his hand, the autumn water flew out, Xia Ziyi moved, and the figure swept out, the sword came, the person came, the sword came, and the move came.
A short moment of illumination, and then a fast, fast and instantaneous killing light.
Ning Chen's sword pointed at Qiushui, his body was slightly sideways, and his sword fingers slashed, breaking the heart.
"When" Xia Ziyi swept his sword and turned around, blocking the sword finger that had been crossed, and the move in his hand was returned, and then he attacked Ning Chen's right chest death point.
Ning Chen's sword finger turned into a palm, and the vast aura surged out, through the autumn water, breaking through the three inches of Xia Ziyi's chest.
"Bang"
The palm fell, the figure was lost, a palm fell into the air, outside the Jiugong Pavilion, the pear blossom flew fiercely, the two figures moved again and again, the afterimages flew, and the moves clashed again.
Snowflakes, white flowers, and the swordsman's brilliance bloomed fiercely in the blink of an eye.
In the Jiugong Pavilion, the dance has stopped, Xia Xinyu stood in the pavilion, looking at the two men with peerless grace in the snowflakes and white flowers, and her eyes flashed with dazzling light.
"Happy"
The sword moves swept by, the palm was hard to touch, the wind blew up the snow, the moon sprinkled the cold, and gradually, the skills of the two of them were raised to the peak.
"The sea of learning is endless" Xia Ziyi stepped on his feet, and the righteousness of the whole body rose sharply, and the next moment, the golden scroll opened instantly, and the golden characters manifested one by one, and the dazzling golden words emitted a magnificent light, and suddenly the pear blossoms flew all over the sky, and the strong pressure doubled again and again.
In the face of the strongest move, Ning Chen didn't dare to be careless, turned his palm and condensed his qi, and the vast waves rose in the sky, turning into the Nine Heavens Galaxy and falling down.
In the "boom" shocking collision, the whole garden trembled, and the two of them each took a few steps back, but they didn't know whether they won or lost.
"Happy"
With this war, this trip is worthwhile.
Looking at each other and laughing, the sword returned to the sheath, Xia Ziyi and Xia Xinyu walked away, leaving a garden of falling pear blossoms.
Ning Chen picked up the sleeping Xiao Mingyue on his back, stepped on the pear blossom and left, sighing lightly in his heart, a few regrets, a few sighs.
The four princes of Great Xia, the deceased eighth prince is known as the virtuous king, the tenth prince is outstanding in literature and talent, and the third prince is unparalleled in martial arts, and he is cultivated to be worshiped in the palace.
In comparison, the eldest prince has not shown anything special, but makes people care more about the identity of his eldest son.
After today's battle, he learned that this great prince was the person who was most hidden in Great Xia, and he had suppressed his edge for more than 20 years.
If he fights ruthlessly, the position of the prince may have been no longer suspenseful many years ago.
