Chapter 611: Willingly
At this point, he realized that he was really thinking a little too much tonight. He looked around again, only to find that the fifth brother, Nangong Mo, had not yet arrived. He believed, however, that he would be there tonight, and he could tell from their conversation in the study alone.
"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives", this is really true, just when Nangong He was immersed in his thoughts, he only heard the ear ringing: "The fifth prince has arrived."
He smiled faintly, and sure enough, his guess was not wrong, and he raised his eyes to look at the visitor. The person who came was dressed in a blue robe, but it made him more and more handsome, and he really deserved to be the fifth prince Nangong Mo with the "first beautiful man".
It's just that if you look closely, you will see that the message revealed by those beautiful eyes ---- dissatisfied. When Nangong He saw him for the first time, he understood the information in his eyes, after all, he was a brother of the same mother, and he still knew him. It's just that he pretended not to understand, smiled at him casually, and then said, "Give me a seat." ”
When Nangong Mo appeared, Lu Xin'er could no longer maintain her mother's so-called reserve. She immediately raised her eyes to look, although the man in front of her, although he rejected her many times, she was sure that one day, they would intersect, it was just the length of time. Although she had met him many times, he still dazzled her every time she met.
Of course, Lu Xin'er is not the only one who pays attention to Nangong Mo. Naturally, there are those who are still waiting for the boudoir, those daughters who have already heard about the deeds of the fifth prince and admired him.
However, Nan Xinchen was not included among those people. For Nangong Mo, the fifth prince of the dynasty, although she has never seen it, she has heard of it slightly. Therefore, it was only at the moment when Nangong Mo first arrived that her gaze swept towards him, but she only paused for a few seconds before she withdrew her gaze.
At this moment, the wolf-like gaze seemed to be about to devour Nangong Mosheng alive.
After Nangong Mo sat down, his gaze swept around leisurely. Suddenly, his gaze stayed on a certain point, as if he had been nailed, and he could no longer take it back. He stared at the person in front of him tightly, as if he would disappear as soon as he opened his eyes.
Perhaps sensing a certain scorching gaze, Nan Xinchen raised her eyes and fell into an ink eye, and the heat in her eyes seemed to fuse her.
He had never looked at anyone like this, and for a while, Nan Xinchen only felt that his face was as hot as fire. So, pretending to be inadvertent, she turned her eyes away.
Nangong Mo only felt as if he was in a dream, he never thought that someone in this world would make his heart beat so fast. If it had been before, and someone asked him if he believed in love at first sight, he would have only thought this person was ridiculous.
How can there be love at first sight in this world? It's incredulous, and it's deep suspicion. Xu was shocked by the strong impact of this vision, so Nangong Mo didn't notice that the person who made him excited was dressed as a man at the moment.
But at this moment, he really felt that the strong beating heart, as if it would jump out of his chest at any time, brought him a feeling that he had never felt before.
He was still immersed in his own world, as if everything around him was invisible to him, for the first time in eighteen years, he tasted the taste of heartbeat, that emotion made him a little at a loss for a while, and then, a faint smile unfolded on his lips, as if even the flowers had lost their color, and even those daughters were dizzy.
Shaoqing, as if sensing that he had overlooked something, he pulled back his thoughts and fixed his eyes on the person who made him lose his mind, it was ---- a man, his eyes widened in disbelief, what made him excited was a ---- man, impossible, and his heart immediately denied this possibility.
He shook his head, he must have seen it wrong, he closed his eyes, he looked at that place again, it was real, it was really a man. At this moment, he finally realized that the person he was concerned about was dressed as a man. For a while, all kinds of tastes were mixed in my heart.
He never expected that he would one day fall in love with a man. He is dashing, and he will fall in love with a man. Rao is in Baiyang, a country with open people, and there is no precedent for men to like men. He thought, this is the first precedent for this continent.
Speaking of Baiyangguo, it can be regarded as a country with some fame on this continent, not that they have a strong military force, this country is known for its openness to the people. Therefore, the women of this country are not like the women of other countries, and they have to be decent ladies. They are free to choose the person they like, and they don't have to flatter the "words of the matchmaker of their parents", as long as they like someone, they can freely confess to them, unlike other countries on this continent, the marriage of children is handled by their parents; They can race horses on the savannah; They can do a lot of things that seem unimaginable to other countries.
However, despite such an open folk culture, it has never been reported that men in this country like men. Nangong Mo thought, even in this country, it is not allowed for men to like men. Or, rather, on this continent, men like men, it's unimaginable!
"King Mo," Nangong He shouted again, but he still didn't get a response from the other party, and couldn't help but increase his voice a little, "King Mo~~." He was a little strange in his heart, what made the Fifth Emperor Brother, who had always "nothing to do with himself", lose his mind?
Finally, the sound of "Ink King" finally pulled back his thoughts that drifted into the distance.
"Your Majesty", he got up and looked in the direction of Nangong He, with a little doubt in his eyes, as if the person who lost his mind just now was not him.
"Sit down." Nangong He said lightly, and finally pulled this distracted fifth brother back to his thoughts, he sighed in his heart, it's really not easy.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Nangong Mofu sat down again, but he didn't think that he was so distracted just now, but the uncomfortable feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger. Simply, he picked up the wine glass and drank it alone, as if he wanted to use the wine to suppress the uncomfortable energy. However, the result can be imagined, the wine did not suppress the discomfort in his heart, but became stronger and stronger.
On the other side of the dinner, Lu Xin'er tugged at Chen's sleeves, didn't her mother promise her to help her? Why hasn't there been any movement yet?
"Mother, why haven't you opened your mouth yet?" couldn't help it, Lu Xin'er urged. Seeing that so many women's admiring eyes fell on King Mo's body, she couldn't help but speak a little anxiously.
Lu Lincheng, who was sitting next to Chen, glanced at Chen's mother and daughter, with a warning in his eyes, meaning that their mother and daughter should be separated and have nothing else to do.
"Xin'er," Chen patted the back of his daughter Lu Xin'er's hand, signaling her not to worry.
Suddenly, she turned her head, looked at the person she called her husband, and said in a low voice: "Master, this is a good time, take advantage of this moment, you can propose to the emperor that Xin'er be married to King Mo, I believe that King Mo will not refuse in public." ”
Chen's voice was neither humble nor arrogant, but it attracted the attention of Prime Minister Lu Lincheng. He glanced at her sideways, and always felt that the woman next to him had changed, and as for where it had changed, he really couldn't say why for a while.
"A woman's opinion," Lu Lincheng said in a low voice, and it was not difficult to hear some impatience in his words, "Who do you think King Mo is?" ”
"But, sir, the emperor will not refute your face if you are the prime minister. Besides, if Xin'er can marry into the palace, it will be beneficial and harmless to you, right? Chen knows that for a person like Lu Lincheng, you can't be tough with him, you can only "move him with affection and understand with reason".
Besides, she has been a husband and wife with Lu Lincheng for so many years, and she knows a little about Lu Lincheng's ambitions. Therefore, she believes that even if Lu Lincheng may be reluctant in his heart, his words will still have some effect on him.
Sure enough, Lu Lincheng calculated the pros and cons in his heart, but he still felt that the pros outweighed the disadvantages, so he decided to give it a go. In fact, speaking of which, he didn't know what evil he had done in his life, he didn't have a son under his knees, married five wives, but gave birth to five daughters.
Although these daughters are good-looking, they are daughters after all, what big things can they achieve? In fact, he has always hoped to have a son to help him complete his "great cause". It's a pity that this is just an extravagant hope.
Come to think of it, the analysis of the woman next to him is quite correct, and what she said is exactly what he thinks. Had it not been for what she had said to him tonight, he thought, he might have been deceived by this woman's harmless appearance forever. I didn't expect this woman's mind to be so meticulous, even he admired it a little.
I think that at the beginning, he married this woman, not because of his father's status in the court, although he was not above 10,000 people under one person, but he was also a pivotal figure. That's why he moved to marry her for this year.
In this way, with his father's ability, things can always be simpler. But what she didn't expect was that her parents saw through their intentions at a glance and tried their best to prevent the two of them from getting married. However, fortunately, this daughter's heart is very firm towards him, so her parents have to agree to their family affairs, which is why he is today. Speaking of which, I really want to thank his father-in-law and mother-in-law!
At this point, he stopped, wondering what was wrong with him tonight, why was he always reminiscing about the past? Could it be that he is really old, and he can't help but think of the past when he was young.
"I didn't expect that Madame's mind is so meticulous, even her husband is a little ashamed!" The words mixed with ridicule sounded in his ears, and Chen's heart cooled when he heard it.
"Master," Chen was about to argue, but was interrupted by Lu Lincheng.
"What you mean, the husband has already understood and knows what to do, so the lady doesn't have to say more," Lu Lincheng said.
As soon as the words fell, he had already gotten up, walked in front of Nangong He, knelt down, and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a reluctant request, taking advantage of tonight, everyone is present, and I want to ask the emperor to fulfill it." ”
"Oh," Nangong He responded, what does this old guy want to do? Could it be about his daughter, thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Nangong Mo.
Unexpectedly, Nangong Mo was also looking in his direction, and the meaning in his eyes was obvious, you dare to promise to try it. He couldn't help but smile, he was worthy of being brothers of the same mother, and the two brothers really wanted to go together. Even if there was no warning from Nangong Mo, he would not agree, how could such a woman be worthy of his fifth brother?
"I don't know what Aiqing thinks?" Nangong He pretended not to know, and asked lightly.
Nangong He looked at the person kneeling on the ground, in fact, how could he not know his thoughts? He wants to be the emperor, I'm afraid that anyone with a discerning eye can see this, besides, except for those thoughts in his eyes, even those tricks and feet that he does secretly, they know it well. This old fellow, think he doesn't know anything? It's just that the time hasn't come yet, and when the time comes, see what else he has to say?
Although he really doesn't want to be this emperor, even so, it won't be this old guy's turn, this is their Nangong family's country, even if he doesn't want to, there are other people from the Nangong family, no matter what, it won't be his turn to be surnamed Lu!
"Weichen," Lu Lincheng paused, as if he was thinking about how to continue, frowned, and looked embarrassed that he didn't want to speak, but he had to speak, this acting skill is really admirable.
Nangong He sneered in his heart, if he didn't know Lu Lincheng's old scheming, he would definitely be deceived by him. If he hadn't already weighed the pros and cons below, how could he dare to rashly come to the request. This embarrassment is really just right.
"Weichen wants to ask the emperor to marry King Mo and the little girl," Lu Lincheng said in one breath, kowtowed, and then raised his eyes to look at Nangong He.
As soon as Lu Lincheng finished speaking, the bottom suddenly boiled, and he looked clear, at this dinner, who didn't know that Lu Xin'er loved King Mo?
However, if Lu Xin'er is asked to marry King Mo, it is really a bit unworthy. Although this Lu Xin'er is indeed good-looking, if she can win the heart of King Mo just by her appearance, then all the daughters here can marry King Mo. What's more, Lu Xin'er's reputation is really not very good in the capital.
Everyone shook their heads in their hearts, this family affair is impossible at all.
Besides, even if the emperor is willing to fulfill it, what about King Mo, will he be willing to marry this woman?
