The fifth day of November is the birthday of the Queen Mother, and the emperor ordered a big celebration, and the palace and the palace were full of joy.

Lou Yueqing can't be absent today, because today is different from the past, she can't help but go to the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and even Lin Peiyun, who has been raising a baby for a while, is not easy to be absent, so Mrs. Ning Guo took Lin Peiyun early, but she entered the palace at the right time.

Today's birthday banquet is held at noon, the banquet venue is not the Taichang Hall that has always been used to hold banquets, but a large open space outside the Taichang Palace, as early as a few days ago under the command of Xue Xianfei, a high platform has already been erected, and it took several days to arrange the venue, it can be seen that this birthday banquet is really grand, and today the palace and the palace are also doubled by guards, just for today's palace banquet can be foolproof.

Early in the morning, there was an endless stream of carriages at the gate of the palace, and the pomp and circumstance were endless, and all the ladies of the court and the Chinese family entered the palace early, for fear that it would be too late.

Lou Yueqing was not in a hurry at all, she entered the palace slowly at the end of the time, when she arrived, the palace was already extremely lively, and there was a banquet with a stick of incense, she didn't want to meet the Queen Mother and didn't want to wait at the banquet, so she had to slowly turn around and go to the Xuanzheng Palace.

When she arrived, Rong Zhi happened to discuss political affairs with several ministers, so the two of them wandered around the palace together until the palace banquet began.

Today, the envoys of the two countries were all present, and none of them were absent, even Princess Changle, who had been sick for the past few days, and had not seen anyone, let alone go out of the post house for half a step, was also listed.

It is said that this princess was not accustomed to the water and soil when she first came to Chu State, and after leaving the banquet a few days ago, she really fell ill, and she did not appear in the negotiations between the two countries for a few days, and the emperor and the queen mother sent the imperial doctor to see it every day, but the princess of Lanling refused to let the imperial doctor go in to see on the grounds that Beili brought the imperial doctor to not need your country to worry, and it was not until today that the princess of Changle did not appear again.

Lou Yueqing was a little speechless about her illness this time, a few days ago I heard that the son of the Yuan family was assassinated in a courtyard in the west of the city, and he was injured a lot, the surrounding people heard the sound of the fight and reported to the official, when the Praetorian Guards arrived, there was a corpse in the courtyard, Yuan Shaoyan was wounded by a sword, which alarmed the Queen Mother, the two ordered a thorough investigation, but there was no eyebrows for a few days, and the news that Princess Changle was sick came out on the second day, she specially asked Huirao to find out, plus the news given by Yu Chisheng, this only knew some inside story, it turned out that Princess Changle and Yuan Shaoyan were cheating that night by Princess Lanling found out, those people were killed by Princess Lanling in anger, Yuan Shaoyan's injury was also done by Princess Lanling, it was really ...... Good job!

But it's a pity that Yuan Shaoyan didn't die!

Speaking of Princess Changle, there are many people who can't sit still, and the most unstable one is Xiao Yihuai, one of the Beili envoys, he stood up, waved his hand at the emperor above, and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Chu, just mentioned the imperial sister, but it reminded the king of a matter, my father and the emperor had repaired the letter of state as early as last month, and wanted to marry the imperial sister to the regent of your country.

As soon as these words came out, the whole banquet was suddenly silent, and the guests who were already noisy all quieted down, looked ahead, and their eyes paused at the envoy of Beili, and then moved away and landed on His Royal Highness the Regent, who had been drinking like no one else, and the county lord of Qingyan, who was talking to Mrs. Ning Guo, and the two of them seemed to have nothing to do with themselves, and they took care of their own affairs.

His Royal Highness the regent has nothing to do with himself, after all, marrying or not marrying is a matter of his words, but Lou Yueqing is a little puzzling if he doesn't care about himself, after all, this Princess Changle is not an ordinary person, that is the favorite daughter of Emperor Beili, even Lou Yueqing, who is invincible in Chu State, is afraid that she is a big gap in front of her, and now the two are competing for the regent, but she is not in a hurry, as if she doesn't care about this matter at all, you must know that this marriage is not like the last time Dongyou asked to marry her, she can refuse at will.

As soon as Xiao Yihuai's question came out, Rong Zhi on the throne above was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously looked at Rong Zhi, who was drinking alone, and frowned.

Rong Zhi has already given a clear answer to this matter, it is impossible for him to agree to such a ridiculous marriage, but this answer, if it is said directly like this, I am afraid it will be ......

Princess Changle was also shocked when she heard this, looked at Xiao Yihuai, wrinkled her eyebrows and was a little worried, she didn't really want to marry Rong Zhi, this matter couldn't be done, although Rong Zhi was very good, such a man was worthy of her identity as a princess, and wanted to stop her, but she didn't know what to think of, she still endured it, sat there, her hands tightly tugged at her cuffs, and pretended to be fine.

Compared to her, Princess Lanling was extremely displeased, because she had already told Xiao Yihuai not to mention the marriage between the two countries, and this matter would be stopped, anyway, the regent of Chu and the county lord were in love, and it was impossible to take the initiative to mention the marriage, as long as Beili stopped the matter, but he didn't expect him to still not listen, but he still mentioned it.

What exactly does he want to do......

The emperor was still hesitant to say what to say, but the Empress Dowager Yuan, who was wearing a gorgeous wind cannon on the side, spoke with great approval: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi has almost forgotten this matter without mentioning the mourning family, Princess Changle is the pearl of Emperor Zhenshun's palm, and she is so beautiful in the world, the regent is also invincible in Wen Taowu, if the two can tie the knot, it is also a good match, it is worthy of a beautiful conversation, and it is also a great thing for the two countries, what does the emperor think?"

As soon as the Queen Mother's words came out, everyone present held their breath and did not dare to say anything, what did the Queen Mother mean? Who does not know that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent and the county lord of Qingyan will get married on the first day of the first month of next month, and this marriage has already spread all over the world, and now the two governments have begun to prepare for all the matters of the big wedding, but the Queen Mother said such a thing and does not recognize the marriage between His Royal Highness the regent and the county lord?

Everyone's eyes immediately fell on Rong Zhi and Lou Yueqing, and sure enough, when they saw His Royal Highness the Prince Regent holding the wine glass, his face suddenly became gloomy, and the county lord of Qingyan in the seat of the Ningguo Mansion below also stopped chatting with Mrs. Ningguo and raised his eyes......

Don't talk about others, the faces of those people in the Ningguo Mansion are not much better, and the faces of all the people in the Shenwang Mansion above the Ningguo Mansion are also the same gloomy.

What is the Queen Mother going to do?

Isn't this clearly going against King Shen's Mansion and Ningguo Mansion?

The emperor was a little embarrassed, he naturally felt that a lot of eyes fell on him, waiting for his reaction, if he felt good, it was absolutely inappropriate, if he didn't say it well, he would veto the marriage between the two countries, it was really a dilemma, and Rong Zhi also made it clear that he couldn't agree to this matter.

glanced at Rong Zhi, who was sitting there staring coldly at the wine glass in front of him, and then looked at the countless people at the banquet who were looking at him for a long time, especially the location of the Ningguo Mansion, and then turned his eyes to the Queen Mother's side, Rong Yan smiled helplessly: " I also think the queen mother's words are reasonable, but the queen mother has not forgotten, the seventh brother has already made a family relationship with the county lord of Qingyan, I am afraid that you and I are worried about promoting a good relationship and are helpless, I can't beat the mandarin duck, I'm afraid that if I fight with this stick, the seventh brother and Qingyan's girl will have to fight hard with me, and this matter still has to be discussed in the long run!"

"Oh?" Empress Dowager Yuan seemed to remember that Rong Zhi and Lou Yueqing were married when she heard Rong Yan's words, she was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: " The emperor didn't say that the mourning family had forgotten about it, but this matter was not a difficult matter, although Zhi'er had set a family affair, but it was always common for men to have three wives and four concubines, and Zhi'er was the regent of a country, what was the matter with multiple princesses, and the mourning family heard that Princess Changle was the most knowledgeable, and her royal status was particularly noble, and her mind was not far behind, so I am afraid that I wouldn't mind serving a husband with Qingyan, right?"

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Princess Changle on the seat of the Beili envoy, and her face was very gentle and loving.

She only asked Princess Changle what she meant, but she didn't ask Rong Zhi and Lou Yueqing at all, as if this matter could be done as long as Princess Changle didn't mind.

Rong Zhi frowned, his eyes, which had no fluctuations, were now very disgusted.

But Lou Yueqing looked up at the Empress Dowager Yuan with a smile, it seems that the Empress Dowager Yuan is going to be a demon today.

Princess Changle was mentioned by name, and she was stunned, and all eyes suddenly fell on her, which made her a little disgusted, and she didn't like the question of the Empress Dowager Yuan, she naturally didn't like it, but she didn't speak, but Xiao Yihuai replied on her behalf: " The Queen Mother laughed, although the royal sister is a princess, but she also knows how to behave in the world, the Queen Mother doesn't have to worry, the royal sister naturally doesn't mind marrying the regent with the lord of your country, the regent is a hero in the world, the number of admirers is countless, naturally it is impossible to marry only one person, the royal sister is the princess of Liguo, this amount of tolerance is still there!"

When he spoke, Lan Ling's eyes on the side sank, and he secretly said that it was not good......

She has always been curious about why Changle suddenly asked for a decree to come to Chu, but now she understands that it is Tang Hui's conspiracy, otherwise don't say that that the fool will not do this kind of thing that is not good for her, Xiao Yihuai is even more unlikely to say it like this, if she is not mistaken, I am afraid that it is all the wording that she thought of in advance, I heard that Xiao Yihuai entered the palace two days ago and saw this Empress Dowager Yuan, could it be that there is a conspiracy between them?

If so, then this marriage must have a purpose!

Empress Dowager Yuan nodded with great satisfaction, and then looked at Rong Yan and said: " Since this is the case, then there is nothing to be embarrassed about, the emperor, as Zhi'er's own brother, you have to think about everything for Zhi'er, he is one year younger than the emperor, but the emperor has been married for eight years, and there is no one around him who is a good person, and the mourning family also knows that he and Qingyan are a match made in heaven, but Princess Changle is also a talented woman, and the right match, and the emperor sees, Qingyan and Princess Changle are so similar, like twin sisters, I am afraid that it is also a blessing from the previous life, this life is to be sisters, it is better to do good things in pairs, how about fulfilling their marriage？”

What the Empress Dowager Yuan said was the truth, and what she said made the people present couldn't help but agree with her words......

Rong Yan groaned, and did not answer immediately, but the queen who was sitting on the other side suddenly smiled and said: "The queen mother's words are wrong, you patronize and ask the meaning of Princess Changle, but it seems that you forgot to ask the meaning of the regent and the county lord, it stands to reason that you come first and come later, it is not interesting for you to match this matter by yourself, if His Royal Highness the regent does not agree to marry Princess Changle, and the county lord does not agree to serve a husband with Princess Changle, then it is a good thing to do a bad thing......"

Qin Minying's words are to the point, the Queen Mother and the people of Beili take care of you and me, but they have not asked the opinions of the parties, and the county lord of Qingyan is just that, after all, serving a husband with Princess Changle is not a burial for her, but he still has to ask His Royal Highness the Regent's opinion, if he does not want to marry, then even if the county lord has no opinion, it will not work, one is the county lord of his own country, his status is noble, and the other is a princess of another country, and he is even more noble, both of them married into the regent's mansion...... Who is the concubine? Or who is big and who is small, I haven't considered this question?

It is impossible for the county lord of Qingyan to be small, not to mention the status of the Ningguo Mansion, just say that the county lord is the county lord of Chu State, how can he be pressed by a foreign princess? But Princess Changle is the princess of Beili, and it is impossible to commit herself to being small.

Is...... It's a mess!

Hearing this, Mrs. Yuan's face sank, she looked at Qin Minying with displeasure, and did not shy away from reprimanding her directly, and said lightly: "What is the queen's words? Since ancient times, it is just a common thing for men to have three wives and four concubines, Zhi'er is the royal prince, and he holds the power of Chu State, how can the concubine in the palace be only Qingyan alone, not to mention that Princess Changle is the princess of Liguo, Emperor Zhenshun is willing to marry this pearl in his palm to Zhi'er, that is a good blessing that others can't ask for, how can he refuse? As for Qingyan, a woman should be virtuous and generous, and when she marries into the regent palace in the future, she also wants to choose a suitable woman for Zhi'er to enter the palace and spread the branches for the royal family, how can she refuse this matter?"

Empress Dowager Yuan's words, there is no selfishness in it, there is nothing unreasonable at all, and those people present can not find a rebuttal point, after all, in Chu State, it is just a common thing for men to have three wives and four concubines, and ordinary people will find one or two girls who have sex outside the main wife, or they also raise the outer room, it is impossible to have only one person, and the Ningguo Mansion will have only one housewife for a hundred years because of the ancestral training, but even so, don't they secretly raise the women they like to pamper them? What's more, how can a man like His Royal Highness the Prince Regent have only one princess?

Princess Changle's appearance is very similar to the county lord, the county lord is a recognized beauty in the Chu State, and Princess Changle is naturally a rare beauty in the world, such a woman, how can His Royal Highness the Prince Regent not want it?

How can there be men in the world who don't love beauty? His Royal Highness the Prince Regent is naturally inevitable!

Lou Yueqing sat there, looking at the drama directed and acted by the Empress Dowager Yuan above, and sneered in her heart, it seems that today's Empress Dowager Yuan is going to make a big fuss about the marriage no matter what, no matter how she and Rong Zhi ignore it, they have to move this matter to the table, it is absolutely impossible to agree, if you don't agree, Rong Zhi will be confused by her and ignore the people of the country, she will also be criticized by the world as narrow-minded and intolerable, and she will offend Beili!
