Chapter 103: Marriage Giving (2)
"See the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
As soon as the emperor sat on the dragon chair, everyone knelt on the ground one after another. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Zhong Aiqing is flat!"
"Emperor Xie!"
Everyone got up and returned to their seats, and Tang Jing walked towards Gu Xiao step by step in full view of everyone.
The fourth princess sitting opposite wrung the handkerchief in her hand hatefully, and glared at Gu Xiao viciously with a pair of eyes, as if she wanted to cramp Gu Panxia and peel off her bones.
Someone couldn't help but exclaim: "How could Tang Gongzi know her?" ”
"You don't know that, do you? I heard that she was originally a maid in the Tang family! ”
"What? Is there such a good thing? I knew that I would also go to the Tang Mansion to be a maid! ”
"That's right, as long as I can get close to Tang Gongzi, even if I am asked to be a maid, I am willing!"
The corners of Gu Xiao's mouth twitched slightly, this guy, knowing that his position was not here, wanted to squeeze over, which was clearly deliberately for others to see.
Feeling the eyes of envy, jealousy, or hatred from everyone, Gu Xiao's heart was mixed for a while.
"Hey, what are you doing here? Your place is over there. ”
Although Tang Jing is low-key, he is one of the emperor's staff, so he naturally has his own position.
Tang Jing glanced around and sat down beside her calmly.
"I don't like it, I think it's very good!"
Gu Xiao was furious when she heard this, what is good, didn't you see everyone's eyes looking this way?
Sure enough, being too handsome is a crime, look at him, not only attracts women, but even men's eyes are attracted, God is really evil!
"Hmm-"
Xiao Xuan cleared his throat and attracted everyone's attention, and the people who were still discussing in a low voice also stopped talking.
"Today is the emperor's brother's birthday, everyone Aiqing has to celebrate!"
Prime Minister Luo Cheng got up and said with a smile: "This is natural, the prince's birthday, the ministers naturally want to celebrate!" ”
As soon as Prime Minister Luo's voice fell, the rest of the people also got up and echoed: "Yes, yes, what the Prime Minister said is exact!" ”
"Come, Weichen salutes the prince with a cup!"
Prime Minister Luo raised his glass, and the rest of the people also raised their glasses, and even the concubines got up to toast.
Xiao Chen also got up calmly, raised the cup to the people in the hall, and then drank it all.
At this time, Shang Xiong, who was originally silent, suddenly got up, and then nodded to the eunuch on the side.
After a while, the eunuch came in with a cage.
The cage is filled with a pair of long-tailed colorful birds that are beautiful in appearance, but have never been seen before.
"Lord Wang, this is a pair of strange birds that Weichen caught when he returned from Beihai, and Weichen saw that they were strangely shaped, resembling the legendary phoenix, so he ordered someone to catch them back!"
The smile on the corner of Xiao Chen's lips remained unchanged, but there was a faint cold light in his eyes.
"Thank you General Shang for your kindness, it's just ...... It seems that something is wrong with such a beautiful thing being shackled! ”
"Chen'er, this is General Shang's heart, you can accept it!"
Afraid that Xiao Chen would say something that should not be said in the main hall, the Queen Mother hurriedly reminded her.
The smile on the corner of Xiao Chen's lips stiffened slightly, but soon, it returned to normal.
He nodded at the eunuch and said, "Since the general gave it to me, then I will make my own decisions, you take them out and let them go!" ”
It's not that he's sympathetic to those two birds, it's that he doesn't want to take the Shang family's things personally.
"This ......" The eunuch was a little embarrassed, he first looked at Shang Xiong with a flushed face, and then looked at Xiao Chen, who was smiling lightly, and was a little embarrassed for a while.
"Second Emperor Brother, I see that these birds are very beautiful, why don't you give them to me?"
Receiving the eyes of the Queen Mother, the fourth princess got up knowingly and looked at Xiao Chen with a smile.
Xiao Chen's eyes flashed, and he suddenly smiled: "Also, I remember that the fourth sister likes this kind of thing the most, since this is the case, then give it to you!" Oh, General Shang shouldn't care, right? ”
Shang Xiong was so angry that he almost didn't bite a mouthful of silver teeth, but he said with a smile on his face: "What did the prince say, since Weichen gave it to you, it should be disposed of by you!" ”
It took him nearly a month to catch it, but it took a lot of manpower and material resources, he originally wanted to please Xiao Chen, but who knew that this kid turned out to be a white-eyed wolf.
Looking at the pair of colorful birds in the hands of the fourth princess, Shang Xiong only felt that the tip of his heart was dripping blood.
"Since it's okay, then please ask General Shang to take a seat!"
Shang Xiong nodded, flicked his sleeves hatefully, and went straight back to his seat.
"Lord Wang, this is carved for you by a courtier, I hope you can like it!"
With the encouragement of Mrs. Shang, Shang Jiao walked towards Xiao Chen with a wooden box.
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Was it carved by Miss Shang herself? Then I'll see for myself! ”
"Lord ......"
Shang Jiao was overjoyed in her heart, raised her head with a red face, and stared at Xiao Chen with a pair of apricot eyes.
Xiao Chen lowered his eyes in disgust, and gestured with his eyes to the eunuch who was standing aside.
The eunuch came back to his senses and accepted the gift from Shang Jiao's hand with a smile.
As soon as he opened it, he saw a jade man lying inside, and the appearance of the jade man was seven or eight points similar to Xiao Chenzhi.
There was a faint smile on the corner of Xiao Chen's lips, which made people feel that his mood seemed to be very happy, but those who knew him knew that Xiao Chen seemed to be in a bad mood like this!
"The carving is good, and the handiwork of Miss Shang's carving is good!"
"The prince has won the prize!" Shang Jiao's face turned a little redder.
Her originally fair little face was now dyed with red.
Linglong lowered her eyes, and the hand holding the wine glass tightened slightly.
What day is it, others don't know, how can she not know?
What should come is that you can't avoid it after all, you can only go with the flow!
She sighed lightly, put the teacup back on the table, and looked at Gu Xiao, who was watching with relish on the other side, and couldn't help but envy in her heart.
If Xiao Chen was not a royal person, but just a noble son like Tang Gongzi, how good would it be!
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and took out the jade figure, looked it up and down, suddenly, as soon as he let go of his hand, he only heard the sound of "pop-", and the originally exquisitely carved jade figure was instantly broken into two sections.
"Oops! I'm sorry, my hands are a little shaky! ”
Xiao Chen looked at the jade man who was broken in half on the ground, with a look of innocence and regret, and that expression looked as if he was really regretful.
Gu Xiao couldn't help but roll her eyes at the sky, this guy, if he is put into modern times, it is estimated that he can win the Oscar!
"I didn't ...... It doesn't matter, if the prince likes the courtiers, he will carve it for you! ”
Shang Jiao's lips trembled a little, and even her eyes turned red unconsciously.
How could she not have known that he had done it on purpose? It's just that in front of so many people, all she can do is endure the pain in her heart.
Because, my father said that tonight, the Queen Mother will give her and Xiao Chen a decree to marry!
