Chapter 500: True Face
Su Chifeng found Xiang Yue at a glance, and when Xiang Yue raised his head, he smiled at her, and his smile was full of overflowing joy, as if to say: Baby, today is the day of our engagement. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xiang Yue finally understood that he was so confident in the engagement, and indeed only the emperor had the ability to make Princess Mingyu agree to the engagement.
By the emperor spoke, the engagement will be successful, Xiang Yue breathed a sigh of relief, but let the emperor personally make the decision to accomplish this matter, I don't know how Su Chifeng did it, and the secret voice asked: "What conditions did you promise the emperor?"
"When my father was elected as the leader of the Jianghu Alliance, he actually had always been in contact with the emperor, and I just assured the emperor that the Jianghu Alliance would continue to maintain the rivers and lakes and not be enemies of the imperial court, and I also borrowed a few Zhongcheng Realm cultivation for the emperor for a period of time. Su Chifeng immediately whispered and replied to the moon.
As long as he can succeed in his engagement with Xiang Yue, Su Chifeng feels that even if the emperor wants to summon him for a while, he will be willing.
"You are now one of the deputy leaders of the Jianghu Alliance, and the emperor believes in you so much?"
Xiang Yue didn't underestimate him, but the emperors of the past were not suspicious, after all, the leader of the Jianghu Alliance was the head of the Ming Yuan Dao of Dao Qingguan.
"Rest assured, as soon as the head of the Jianghu League was elected, the head of the Ming Yuan Dao received an official document from the imperial court, I came on behalf of the Jianghu League this time, and I met the emperor once with my father before, we talked very well, and the emperor trusted me very much. ”
During the secret communication between Xiang Yue and Su Chifeng, Liu Yilong sat down, and everyone also sat down.
Princess Mingyu and Princess Wu Xingchang are both the emperor's sisters, so they are naturally very close to the emperor's seat.
Xiang Yue sat down with Princess Mingyu to the banquet, probably because Princess Wu Xing intended to let her get close to Wang Xian, Princess Mingyu sat next to Princess Wu Xing, and Wang Xian and Xiang Yue sat together.
Sitting next to Xiang Yue was Fang Zhongyu, and he didn't know when he came back.
There are no separate seats for men and women here, they all sit in one seat of the same clan and clan, and those who are not enough to sit are replaced by another seat, and there are enough seats in the Imperial Garden.
Xiang Yue could see the emperor in dark red civilian clothes up close, very young, about twenty-four years old, and his face was slightly pale.
As a doctor, Xiang Yue can naturally see that his physical foundation is not very good, although his spirit is good, it should be that the medical conditions in the palace are good and the care is good, but people with a bad physical foundation are usually easy to get sick.
I heard that many emperors who relied on force to conquer the country little by little seem to have sons of poor quality, especially in poor physical condition, such as Liu Bang's son Liu Ying, and Zhu Yuanzhang's son Zhu Biao.
Liu Yilong seems to have inherited this common disease, his father is Liu Yu, the founding emperor of the country, and he is full of military value, but he is not in good health.
In order to strengthen the imperial power of the Liu family, he recalled his fourth brother Liu Yikang, the king of Pengcheng, to Jiankang as an assistant to the government, and appointed Situ and Luyan Shushi to jointly assist the government with Prime Minister Wang Hong.
At this time, this Liu Yikang sat under Liu Yilong, except for the empress, he was the closest person to the emperor.
Liu Yikang is in his early twenties, his body is much stronger than Liu Yilong, he is dressed in a brocade robe, his appearance is handsome, and he exudes a trace of majesty, which can be described as dignified.
Xiang Yue naturally didn't recognize this Liu Yikang, but Fang Zhongyu next to her knew that she didn't recognize it, so he explained it to her softly.
This cola broke Xiang Yue, and the two of them were close to each other, and it was estimated that they could sour the mysterious woman to death, or be angry, and it was best to be so angry that the woman jumped to expose her feet on this occasion.
It's a pity that Xiang Yue swept everyone back and forth in the banquet, but he didn't find Zhu Wan.
The people of the Zhu clan should have come, why didn't Zhu Wan come? Xiang Yue secretly shouted that it was a pity.
However, she immediately felt countless eyes of envy, jealousy and hatred staring at her, all from those young ladies who had not yet left the cabinet.
Hu Shu'er glared at Xiang Yue, gritting her teeth, as if she wanted to kill her with her eyes, and Liu Qing was already red-eyed and was about to cry.
Xiang Yuecai is not a good thing, and as soon as the betrothed decree with Su Chifeng comes out, these young ladies should understand, and it would be stupid to treat her as a rival in love.
She also saw Xue Fu and Gao Xirou, the two smiled at her, and she smiled back, after all, when the emperor was present, no one dared to move around at will, or make loud noises.
Sitting next to Liu Yikang is Su Chifeng, and then they are all brothers of the Liu family, Liu Yixuan, the king of Nanjun, Liu Yigong, the king of Jiangxia, and Liu Yiji, the king of Hengyang, all of whom are less than twenty years old, but they are all beautiful, and they are all in the top ten on the list of beautiful men.
I have to say that the bloodline genes of the Liu family are really good, the men are handsome, the women are beautiful, and they are pleasing to the eye.
If it weren't for the beauty list, all the women on the list were women under the age of 20, and with the appearance of Queen Yuan and Princess Mingyu, they were all eligible to enter the beauty list.
Su Chifeng would look at Xiang Yue from time to time, knowing that she and Fang Zhongyu were brothers and sisters, but they would not misunderstand, but they really wanted to sit next to Xiang Yue instead of Fang Zhongyu.
"Hey, this guy looks like a baby. ”
Inadvertently saw Wang Xian next to Xiang Yue, Su Chifeng couldn't help but be stunned, the eyebrows and temperament of the two were more than thirty percent similar.
Xiang Yue compared Wang Xian marriage to a little red in the green bushes, attracting people's eyes, in Su Chifeng's eyes, among so many people, the only person who can let him see at first sight is always Xiang Yue.
Even if she is close to Wang Xian's eyebrows and temperament, it will not make Su Chifeng admit his mistake, or see it wrong, as if among all living beings, there is only Xiang Yue alone.
As if sensing Su Chifeng's gaze, Wang Xianyu raised his eyes to Su Chifeng's gaze and smiled innocently.
"Good clean eyes, really similar to a baby. ”
Being able to sit with Xiang Yue, and being such a person like Xiang Yue, Su Chifeng had a good impression of her, and smiled politely, and then turned his gaze away.
Today's emperors are more frugal, never extravagant and wasteful, and the banquets are not extravagant.
Speaking of war, it was also provoked by war, the Northern Wei Dynasty in the north was eyeing the Southern Dynasty, and Liu Yilong also had ambitions, but it was a pity that the combat effectiveness of the Song army was a little weak, Liu Yilong's cultural governance was good, but the military level was very low, and he couldn't compare with his father who fought down the river, and the Northern Wei Dynasty lost very badly in the first Northern Expedition.
If it weren't for the old general Tan Daoji under his father this year, the Song army would probably be wiped out.
War is to burn money, the treasury is empty, can it not be thrifty?
Last year, the Northern Expedition was in vain, most of the talents available in the DPRK and China were old, and the talents in the country were disconnected, so Liu Yilong, who was depressed, noticed the Jianghu League, and not only met Su Chifeng in person, but also admired the young and promising Su Chifeng very much.
Many things Liu Yilong handed over to Liu Yikang to handle, and Liu Yikang did not disappoint his brother, and he was super strong in handling things.
After taking a seat, Liu Yikang briefly introduced Su Chifeng to everyone, and Su Chifeng was complimented by many people.
"Why hasn't General Tan come yet?"
was about to start the banquet, Liu Yikang found that the seat prepared for Tan Daoji was still empty, and said unhappily.
Xue Fu and Gao Xirou's father were both Tan Daoji's henchmen and fierce generals, and hurriedly left the table to explain: "Your Majesty, the general's old wounds have not healed, and there may be some delays, so it should be there soon." ”
"General Tan is injured, wait a while. "Liu Yilong is very talkative.
Liu Yikang didn't say more, he felt that Tan Daoji had a heavy army in his hands, had military merits, and no one in his eyes, so that the emperor still had so many people waiting for him, it was too much, and he was extremely disliked by him.
"Your Majesty, the Empress, and Weichen have brought the Kabuki from the house, why don't you let them perform for a while?" Xu Zhanzhi said.
"Very good. Liu Yilong nodded.
Xu Zhanzhi stretched out his hand and patted it three times, and the music started, and a team of bright and beautiful figures jumped out of the flowers.
"Second brother, where did you go just now?" Xiang Yue approached Fang Zhongyu and asked softly.
"I didn't go anywhere, I just didn't want to see anyone, so I avoided it for a while. Fang Zhongyu didn't hide it.
Xiang Yue's heart moved, and he was about to ask him who he wanted to avoid.
"Cousin Satsuki. ”
Hearing Wang Xianyu call herself, Xiang Yue turned her head and asked, "Cousin, you called me?"
"Cousin Xiaoyue, you have a good relationship with Cousin Yu, will your aunt really ask for marriage for you and Cousin Yu today?" Wang Xianyu's curious eyes flickered, looking very innocent and simple.
"My relationship with my brother is really good, it's the kind of relationship between brothers and sisters, and I won't get married. Xiang Yue said truthfully.
Wang Xianyu was slightly embarrassed and said: "Actually, I don't hide it from Cousin Xiaoyue, I also like Cousin Yu very much." ”
"Cousin, then I wish you to be my sister-in-law. ”
Xiang Yue likes Wang Xian's simple appearance, if Fang Zhongyu marries this innocent and gentle cousin, it will be good.
A faint flush appeared on Wang Xianyu's white little cheeks, and he turned his head shyly.
"Xiaoyue, you don't have much to do with Wang Xian, it's best not to believe anything she says. ”
When Fang Zhongyu saw Wang Xianyu talking to Xiang Yue, his face was not very good, and he directly transmitted the voice to her in secret language. The reason why she rushed over to sit next to Xiangyue was because she was afraid that Wang Xian's marriage would be unfavorable to her.
"Why?" Xiang Yue was surprised, and couldn't help but ask in a secret voice.
"Just listen to me. ”
Fang Zhongyu didn't explain much, but Xiang Yue suddenly had a flash of inspiration, could it be that Wang Xianyu was the one who transformed Zhu Wan, that is, another heir to the Heavenly Maiden, Zhu Wan couldn't come today because she had restored her true face to attend the palace banquet.
Xiang Yue knew that Zhu Wan had hidden cultivation treasures on her body, so it was normal for her to not notice Wang Xian's cultivation at all.
"Thank you, brother, you will always be my most beloved brother, Ah Feng will be engaged to me in a while, and my aunt can't ask for marriage anymore, so you can put one hundred and twenty hearts." ”
Xiang Yue finally knew the true face of the mysterious woman, so she didn't want to be too happy in her heart, and immediately told him the good news to reassure him.
Thinking of Wang Xianyu, who was one or two years older than herself just now, pretending to be so innocent and simple, it made her feel a chill, she was really good at pretending, and she almost fell for it.
