Chapter 176: Duanyue's Wish
Duanyue only felt countless eyes rushing towards her, but she was stunned in her seat, the hand that had just picked up the wine glass was still in the air, and she was at a loss. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Are you sure?!" Meng Tao slapped the table and immediately stood up from his dragon chair, looking very panicked. Not only him, but Lu Qingyi and Yan Feng, who were sitting next to Duanyue, were all surprised and ugly, but Wei Que, who was sitting on the queen's throne, had a smile on his face.
The third prince ignored everyone's strange expressions and nodded firmly. "Since the emperor let the envoys choose for themselves, is there anything wrong with me choosing this girl?"
Meng Tao pursed his lips and didn't know what to say to refute, but Wei Que silently pressed Meng Tao back to the dragon chair with a smile, looked at the third prince with a pair of eyes painted with exquisite makeup, and said in a manner. "The third prince has a good eye, this woman is the lord of Shi'an given by the emperor when he was alive, and this year is the marriageable age."
Seeing her gloating like this, Duanyue glanced at her coldly, then stood up and said loudly to the third prince. "Marriage is about mutual affection, you take a fancy to me, I still can't take a fancy to you!"
The third prince sneered when he heard this. "Oh? I am the third prince of the Uighur tribe, and I am also Amma's favorite child, do you think I am not worthy of you? ”
"That's right! Not worthy! Duanyue looked at the three princes. Although it is said that he is outstanding in appearance, if he lets Duanyue stay with this person for a while, maybe Duanyue will like it. But suddenly letting you marry a man you've only met once, no one will be happy.
"Shi'an, you're too ignorant!" Wei Que looked at Duanyue with half-squinted eyes, and put on her queenly appearance to reprimand Duanyue. Even the Empress Dowager Shu gradually emerged dissatisfied.
Her fierce eyes were cast on Duanyue, and as soon as she spoke, she was filled with irrefutable majesty. "Presumptuous! How can you talk such nonsense in front of the envoys! The mourning family will let the emperor personally crown you as Princess Heshuo, and marry in the name of the princess, what are you dissatisfied with! ”
"Back to the Queen Mother, when the emperor gave me the title of Lord of Shi'an, I was already equivalent to a princess, so why be so expensive." Duanyue was not afraid of the majesty of the Empress Dowager Shu, and retorted straight back.
Yan Feng's heart trembled, and he immediately stood up, bent down and pleaded with Dao Mengxi. "Your Majesty, my sister grew up with you since she was a child, I'm afraid that the emperor also knows her temper, and it's really not suitable to live outside the Seychelles. What's more, this is Weichen's only sister, even if the emperor doesn't look at my face, please look at the face of my father who died early. ”
If it weren't for the words of the wind, I really wouldn't wake up to the moon. A flash of inspiration flashed in her eyes, and she immediately raised her chin defiantly against the three princes. In front of a group of civil and military officials, he said a word of Uighur. Except for the Tempest and the three Uighur emissaries who understood what this meant, everyone else looked at each other in bewilderment.
When the two envoys heard this, their faces changed, and they instantly became pale and timid. However, the third prince really had a bit of a Uighur royal feeling, and he only frowned and did not react too much. The two of him took it but leaned into his ear and whispered to the third prince.
"Do you still dare to marry me?" Duanyue walked up to the three princes and whispered to him.
But this confident word was broken by an indifferent smile from the third prince. "Marry, of course!" There was hostility in his eyes. "I just thought you were just an ordinary official woman, but I didn't expect to have such an identity. If I marry you, will I not be proud of my Uighurs? ”
"You...... You're sick! Duan Yueqi hurriedly took a few steps back, and she turned around to face Meng Tao and the Empress Dowager Shu with all her might. Now, what if we don't take any more measures and really marry as far away as the Uighurs?
Duanyue is really fed up with the wind and sand, and there is no desolation for ten miles to see a person. Now even if she is asked to return to Broken Leaf City, she is reluctant, let alone the broken place of the Uighurs. Besides, there is no such person as the third prince in her heart, and Duanyue already has such a lover in her heart.
She frowned and looked at Meng Taodao. "Your Majesty, do you remember that the emperor made me a wish? Anything I say can achieve me. ”
Some elderly ministers naturally remember what happened at that time, but the Empress Dowager Shu and Wei Que have not seen it with their own eyes, they have only heard about it.
Meng Tao knew that Duanyue wanted to use this to excuse her, and he didn't want her to marry far away to that broken place. Although Duanyue is estranged from him again, he is also a friend who has known him for many years, how can he let Duanyue be friendly.
"What the county lord said is right, back then, my father had promised the county lord and Ning Hou a wish, but it was never used when my father died. I'm afraid that the third prince may have to choose someone else. Saying that, Meng Tao's face did not show a trace of regret, and there was some snickering.
Duanyue licked her lips, and her afterglow caught a glimpse of Yan Xinghui sitting in the corner, and said to him with a lip smile. "Remember the pact you owe me?"
Before Yan Xinghui could react, Duan Yue knelt down in front of Meng Tao with a puff, slammed her head on the ground covered with red carpet, and said loudly. "Duanyue could not obey the emperor's orders, and I could not go far to the Uighurs and relatives, just because I already had a favorite person in my heart. I beg the emperor to give me a marriage! ”
"Duanyue!" Neither Yan Feng nor Lu Qingyi knew what was happening now, and all they could do was silence to stop Duanyue.
But the words spoken are like water spilled out, and no one can stop them. Meng Tao raised his eyebrows and asked Duanyue with joy and worry. "Which son can win your favor?"
"Yes......" Duanyue touched her lower teeth, hesitated for a moment, but still made up her mind and said loudly. I...... I have admired Yan Xinghui, the third son of Mrs. Yan's family, for many years, and I have already secretly promised it, I only hope that the emperor can call the shots! ”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked. I didn't know it, I was just surprised that the lord of Shi'an was so bold and boldly showed his love in front of everyone; And those in the know were surprised that the person Duanyue liked was that Yan Xinghui?!
Meng Tao suppressed his surprise, looked up and found Yan Xinghui's voice, and asked in a deep voice. "Yan Xinghui, are you willing?"
Obviously, Yan Xinghui was frightened by this sudden surprise, he was stunned in his position, and he forgot to even get up and reply. Mrs. Yan was anxious on the side, so she hurriedly got up and returned to Meng Xian on behalf of Yan Xing. "It's an honor for a dog to be favored by the lord of Shi'an, how can you be unwilling!"
Before Yan Xinghui could react, Meng Tao passed down the message and personally gave Duanyue and Yan Xinghui the marriage, and they were all happy but couldn't see the smiles of the two.
The third prince was left out in the cold for a while, and his face suddenly became stiff. Wei Que blinked in a panic, and she looked at the third prince with an apologetic face.
"This ...... With such a talented and beautiful woman, the three princes don't have to be dismantled. Why don't you choose another woman? ”
"I think Liang Guo's sincerity is nothing more than that!" The third prince waved his sleeves angrily and was about to leave.
Seeing that the situation could not be suppressed, the Empress Dowager Shu immediately shouted loudly at the back of his departure. "The three princes, don't go! Although the lord of Shi'an County has a good opportunity, there are still many women in my Liang royal family. The four princesses left by the former emperor, virtuous and virtuous, will be suitable to be your princess! ”
