Chapter 293: Emperor Shou's Reward, Heavy Grace
Thinking of this, Fu Rongyue looked up at Wei Mingxi beside him uneasily, he was still kept in the dark, and he didn't know the true situation of Emperor Shou, if he knew...... Their father-son relationship is deep, and they don't know how uncomfortable to be!
Fu Rongyue sighed, life and death have their own destiny, and she has nothing to do.
"Good and dignified, what are you sighing for?" Wei Mingxi added some fruit wine to her cup and chuckled: "What's the trouble again?"
Fu Rongyue didn't dare to say it to him, shook her head and skipped it, and was about to speak, when she suddenly saw that a group of dancers in the hall had changed, and the person who led the dance had a beautiful face and was vaguely familiar. She looked at it intently, and then she was surprised to find that it was an acquaintance, she pursed her lips and smiled, and turned Wei Mingxi on her side: "Look at this lead dancer, do you know who she is?"
Wei Mingxi glanced at it casually, and then was stunned: "I don't recognize it, it doesn't seem to be from the Central Plains." โ
"It's really not from the Central Plains. Fu Rongyue nodded.
Wei Mingxi looked at it twice, and was suddenly shocked: "Could it be that she is the daughter of Wei Changle, the princess of Pingle, and Ma Landuo, who was named the lord of Minzhen by her father?"
He is really smart, Fu Rongyue just mentioned a few words, and suddenly guessed Ma Landuo's identity.
Fu Rongyue couldn't help but praise: "You are becoming more and more capable now, I can't play games with you in the future, and I don't feel nervous at all." โ
Wei Mingxi felt funny when he heard it: "Then it's better to start all over again, this time I'll pretend to be stupid?"
"Boring!" Fu Rongyue rolled her eyes and turned her gaze to the palace: "You weren't there at the time, and you didn't know that this Min Zhen County Lord was selected to be sent to the palace with his excellent dancing." At that time, I was so nervous that I wasn't in the mood to take a good look, but I could appreciate it now. Look, she's so soft!"
Wei Mingxi didn't say a word, most of Hu Renwuji's waist was soft, he had seen a lot, and he didn't think it was strange.
It's just that Marando's identity makes him a little more curious. When he was young, he heard his mother talk about Princess Pingle a few times, and I heard that she was a dignified and graceful woman, but I didn't expect this dignified and graceful woman to have the courage to elope with Fu Xingjian, and she was raised in the northwest by Fu Xingjian as an outer room, which is very interesting.
The two talked, watching Marando dance, and soon the song was over.
The other dancers all retreated, and after Ma Landuo saluted, she was still standing in the hall, and talked to Emperor Shou with a smile: "Your Majesty likes to watch Duo'er dance, and I don't know if Your Majesty likes this dance today?"
Fu Rongyue's eyes widened when she heard her speak.
Shibei was impressed for three days, and he hadn't seen each other for two years, and Ma Landuo, who couldn't even understand the Central Plains dialect at the beginning, was now able to talk fluently with people in the Central Plains.
Marlando is indeed smart and clever!
"Not bad, not bad!" Emperor Shou stroked his beard and nodded with a fond smile: "I haven't seen you dance for more than two months, and you have made progress again." A few days ago, I went to see you, and Qingling next to you said that you were busy, was you just rehearsing this dance?"
Ma Landuo stood in the hall delicately, with a smile on her face: "Yes, Uncle Huang, you haven't answered me yet, do you like this dance?"
"I like it!" It seems that in the past two years, Ma Landuo has been very favored by Emperor Shou, and above the main hall, in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, her nondescript title was not only not scolded by Emperor Shou, but made Emperor Shou laugh: "Reward! Anyang, take out the pair of Linlong bracelets offered by Beijun this year and reward them to the county lord Min Zhen." After that, he glanced up at the hall again, his eyes fell on Wei Mingxi's table, and ordered: "Set up a seat under His Royal Highness King Ling, Duo'er, you can sit next to Mingxi!"
"Thank you, Uncle Huang!" Ma Landuo respectfully blessed his body, received the bracelet, and was led by the inner supervisor to Wei Mingxi's side.
Ma Landuo stood up straight, his eyes fell on Wei Mingxi, with a little curiosity.
She has always known that Emperor Shou has several sons, most of these princes she has seen, and she has heard a lot of rumors about King Ling, all of them say that His Royal Highness Nine is tyrannical and cruel, and he is a cripple, she privately guesses that this cousin should be ugly and fierce, so as to be worthy of these many bad names.
At this time, I saw Wei Mingxi's eyebrows picturesque, sitting here lightly, and her temperament was different from the two cousins she saw on weekdays.
Those two cousins are accustomed to having eyes in the sky, because of her background, although they don't say it, they probably look down on her in their hearts, but they don't want to offend her. She was happy to pretend she didn't know, but she didn't want to be close to them. If it weren't for the two cousins who were powerful, the powerful backers she had to rely on, she wouldn't have wanted to wronged herself and them, and the farther away from those two, the better.
Therefore, Emperor Fang Caishou ordered her to sit beside Wei Mingxi, she still felt a little apprehensive in her heart, but at this time, she felt that the emperor's uncle really cared for her.
Wei Mingxi raised his eyes and nodded softly to Ma Landuo: "Lord Min Zhen, please take a seat!"
When Wei Mingxi spoke well, his voice was a little cold and magnetic, which was particularly charming. At this sound, Marando only felt that his heart was pounding, almost jumping out of his throat, and his face turned red.
"Thank you, Cousin Nine!" she replied with a sobbing voice.
When Wei Mingxi saw her sit down, he immediately turned his gaze away and continued to enjoy the singing and dancing in the hall.
Marando's eyes followed him for a while, and only then did Hongyun retract his face, and in a panic, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank a few sips of fruit wine to hide his excitement.
Fu Rongyue only glanced at Ma Landuo when she came over, but she didn't notice Ma Landuo's sudden abnormality, she watched the song and dance for a while, and whispered a few words to Wei Mingxi, but they all commented on these songs and dances.
Seeing that Wei Mingxi didn't look at him again, Ma Landuo only talked to the woman beside him, and couldn't help but be interested in the woman beside him.
She asked Qingling beside her in a low voice, "She is Princess Ling?"
Qingling nodded: "Yes." โ
She didn't speak anymore, looking at her wine glass intently, but her ears were pricked up and she couldn't help but listen to the conversation at the next table, capturing Wei Mingxi's beautiful voice.
The banquet in this palace is like this, after three rounds of wine, Emperor Shou began to reward the Wenchen generals who worked hard this year.
Routine rewards, the princes are rewarded one by one according to their status, Wei Mingxi is the only prince among the princes, of course, the first one.
He has made a lot of contributions in the northwest in the past two years, he has not been in the capital in the past two years, and he has not gotten the last time at the annual banquet, and this year is very rich. Emperor Shou rewarded a lot of wealth, and even rewarded Fu Rongyue with a lot of things, and he was extraordinarily gracious, and gave Wei Mingxi a pair of Go that Concubine Hui liked to play on weekdays.
Wei Mingxi took Fu Rongyue to the palace to receive the reward, and before he got up, Emperor Shou suddenly turned his head and asked Qin Tianjian who was seated: "Bai Qing, is there any good time to marry recently?"
"Back to Your Majesty, February 11 is an auspicious time, and it is appropriate to get married. Qin Tianjian Bai Lan made a calculation and said busily.
Emperor Shou Long Yan Dayue: "Okay, good! Xi'er, Rong Yue, the two of you have been engaged for more than two years, and you have been staying in the northwest for the past two years, and I see that the two of you are also heart-to-heart, since February 11 is a good day, I will give you to get married on that day, how about it?"
"Son, thank your father!"
"Concubine Xie Father!"
Wei Mingxi was overjoyed, grabbed Fu Rongyue's hand, and thanked her.
Emperor Shou became more and more happy, and when Wei Mingxi and Fu Rongyue received the reward and returned to their seats, they ordered another person to come out: "Mei Qing!"
"The minister is here!" Mei Xiangrong heard that Emperor Shou gave him a marriage, and he expected that he would definitely have his own affairs, so he had already tidied up his clothes and calmly went out.
Emperor Shou said: "Rong Yue has no mother's family, since you recognize Rong Yue as a righteous daughter, you should fulfill your father's responsibility, and Rong Yue will go out of the Meiguo Mansion when she gets married." I'll leave this marriage to you!"
Mei Xiangrong was originally a little worried that Emperor Shou was going to discuss with him and let Fu Rongyue marry from the palace, but he was very worried when he heard the words, and he was busy receiving the will: "The minister will receive the will, thank Your Majesty for your compassion!"
Several of them were overjoyed, and naturally some of them were very unhappy.
Wei Mingyu's face was tense, and the hand holding the wine glass suddenly tightened, revealing his blue and white knuckles; his eyes firmly locked on Fu Rongyue opposite, and he drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and after the maid filled it, he poured a few cups one after another, and it was inevitable that he would choke when he was in a hurry, and coughed a few times. Today's palace banquet is to bring the female dependents who are ranked in the house, and Princess Zhao Shen naturally came, she didn't know that Wei Mingyu had many entanglements with Fu Rongyue, and when she saw him choking, she stretched out her hand to help him breathe a sigh of relief. Wei Mingyu didn't appreciate it, slapped her hand away, and roared in a low voice: "Don't touch me!"
Princess Zhao's face turned slightly pale, and she withdrew her hand in astonishment.
Wei Mingyu was sad, over there, the teacup in Mei Ruanyi's hand was slightly wrong, and half a cup of sake was spilled on Mei Yanshan's skirt.
Mei Yanshan was holding his cheeks and listening to Emperor Shou's speech, he didn't pay attention, he was just stunned, he had already taken out his handkerchief and sucked the wine on Mei Yanshan's skirt lightly, as if nothing had happened, and put the handkerchief back.
rewarded the king of Ling, and naturally the two sons who stayed in Beijing all the year round.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Shou was rewarded this time!
The holy decree was read out freely, and in the long text, Fu Rongyue only heard one key sentence: "Promote Wei Mingyuan, King of Qi, to Prince Qi, and Wei Mingyu, King of Zhao, to Prince Zhao, wearing a double bead crown, leading the prince's title, and exercising the prince's privileges!"
This was a sudden big surprise, Wei Mingyuan and Wei Mingyu hurriedly went out to thank them, and after receiving the holy decree, many officials around them were already congratulating from afar. Both of them also smiled, and they couldn't help but be proud in their hearts, and even their hostility towards Wei Mingxi was much less, but when they saw each other's smug appearance, they were always unhappy, and they each snorted coldly, and they couldn't help but have a cold confrontation.
Then, Emperor Shou rewarded some courtiers, and after several rewards, he took advantage of his strength to drink, and was accompanied by Xie Anyang to the dormitory to rest, and the concubines such as Shen Guifei who stayed behind were kind and gentle, but after all, they were women, and they sat on a stick of incense or so, and they all went back one after another.
