The abundant and cheerful, the temperamental Helian Zhi and the charming and shy, and the peerless Cai Wu'er suddenly became the focus of the audience, even if the noble status of the imperial concubine is put aside, their dusty posture is definitely in the spotlight.

As Helian Zhi sat down, the hall sounded in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

"No need to be polite, let's get even!" Helian Sik smiled slightly, and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Emperor Xie!" Everyone took their seats.

Helian Zhi was still smiling lightly, his soft eyebrows and eyes faintly swept across the golden hall, and said loudly: "All the ministers can have fun!" I am very happy today, I have both the country and the beauty, and I am really gratified. Now I have decided to canonize the 'Fog Princess' ceremony and issue 20 "graces" across the country to thank God for his love. May my Chongye Dynasty be eternal and the holy cause boundless! ”

"For thousands of generations, the holy cause is boundless! For thousands of generations, the holy industry is boundless! The hall suddenly resounded like a mountain of echoes, the emperor's grace is vast, of course I have to express it.

Then a small eunuch who accompanied him read out the edict, the content of which was the so-called "favor", that is, the emperor's favors to the people, including such things as the reduction of taxes in good years. It sounds like that, but it's not clear if it's illusory.

While listening, Lu Hui secretly glanced at Helian Zhi in the high position. At this time, Helian Zhi's face was radiant, like a piece of fine jade, so bright that everything in the world lost its brilliance. At this time, he should be really happy.

Turning to look at Cai Wu'er on the side, her eyebrows and eyes were also full of smiles. The emperor issued an edict of "grace" on the grounds that he successfully accepted her as a concubine, what a great favor this is, presumably she has already ascended to Elysium in her heart.

What a pleasing person he was, Lu Hui felt more and more uncomfortable when he looked at it, and silently cursed them no less than ten times in his heart and whispered "Amitabha, good, good" and then stopped looking at it in a blink of an eye.

The banquet officially began, and the princes and ministers took turns to toast the emperor and concubine Wu and send their blessings. Although I have congratulated him two days ago, this is the emperor after all, and I can't lose my courtesy.

After a tour of wine, everyone's interest gradually rose, and they staggered and pushed the glass to change the lamp, so it was not fun! Lu Hui didn't know how many times she swallowed her saliva, but she could only watch dryly from the sidelines, how long would she persist in this kind of torture?

At this time, the Green Hui stood on the side of the collapse like the rest of the attendants, and the invited people sat around the collapse.

Lu Hui looked at Gongsun Li Zai, who was chewing wax in front of him, oh my God, such a delicacy, he was eating it expressionlessly, it was really a tyrannical thing! I poured a lot of wine. Moreover, he sat elegantly with his waist straight the whole time, without squinting, even when Emperor Concubine Wu spoke, he never raised his head.

This person, Midori rolled his eyes speechlessly. It's as boring as ever!

At this moment, a group of hurried eunuchs hurriedly walked through the main hall to the front of the nine-story steps, and after obtaining Helianzhi's consent, he went up the steps, came to Helianzhi's side and whispered: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess really came back with a horse to watch the ceremony, and now she is in the square outside the main hall, waiting to be announced!" ”

When Helian Zhi heard this, after hesitating slightly, he said lightly: "After all, she is the eldest princess, let her enter the palace!" ”

"Yes!"

Then there was a long howl: "The emperor has a decree, proclaim-long-duke-lord-in-hall!" ”

When everyone in the banquet heard the call, they all turned their heads with a whoosh, and everywhere in the green view, there were all curious and expectant faces.

The concubine should have come back with the eldest princess, why did he only announce that the princess entered the palace? Green Hui was puzzled.

While he was thinking, he saw a young woman dressed in plain clothes and a tall, dark-skinned man step into the main hall side by side, and walked along the wide passage between the left and right seats in the direction of the high position.

The crowd began to hear the sound of Suo Suo's head to ear.

Coming to the front of the steps, the two stood still and saluted the emperor at the same time.

"Minister, Zhou Zheng!" "Courtier, Helian only!" "See the emperor!"

After the ceremony, the young woman took the lead in speaking: "Only the west wishes the emperor a happy marriage, and opens up the branches and leaves for my Chongye Dynasty as soon as possible, so as to inherit the hegemony of my dynasty!" Today, only the West brought Matt to congratulate and give a small gift, and talk about it! ”

The voice was soft and beautiful, and it was the eldest princess Helian who spoke. The clothes are not gold and silver threads, not brocade clothes with palace satin wrapped in snow silk, but an ordinary embroidered jacket skirt and a plain velvet brocade cloak, but it can't hide her innate brilliance at all. As she spoke, the hall fell silent for a moment.

I saw her take out a necklace made of pearls and shells from her sleeve, hand it to the little eunuch on the side and present it to Helian Zhi, then raised her eyes and said softly: "Only Xi has been living at sea since he married a concubine, and the most seen is this pearl shell." The beauty of pearls comes from the tears of shells, in the same way, only the one that Xi has today is a gift from relatives, and the grace of nurturing dare not be forgotten, even if it is far away from everyone now, but I hope that our hearts can be tightly tied together like this chain, and never separated! ”

A short sentence is full of emotion, and it is extremely moving. Helian only took advantage of the emperor's wedding to present a pearl shell necklace, which was not rude but also expressed his desire to reconcile with the people in the royal family, which is indeed wonderful!

Green Hui looked at this woman who was not very gorgeously dressed, but her demeanor and words exuded her own personality charm, her calmness, beauty, intelligence and courage to chase her own love behavior were all praised.

He Lianzhi on the main throne sighed lightly after taking the pearl necklace presented by the little eunuch, the eldest princess was as friendly to him as he was to Helian Yi, how could he not feel sorry? It's just that being born in an imperial family is too much of a last resort. The eldest princess's previous actions had deeply hurt the feelings between them, and in his opinion, her actions were still willful and undesirable.

He didn't want to give her a good face, but at this moment, the eldest princess was humble and cute, and he really couldn't stiffen the atmosphere.

After being silent for a while, he said slowly: "The imperial sister has traveled thousands of miles to give gifts and congratulate Yu Zhen, she really has a heart!" Come on, give the eldest princess a seat! ”

As soon as these words came out, the eldest princess immediately realized that Helian Zhi had directly ignored the colt on the side. So she hurriedly motioned to the horse with her eyes to congratulate the emperor. originally thought that the emperor had a deep prejudice against the horse, and it was better to communicate less, so it would be good for her to congratulate the emperor on behalf of her, but now the emperor doesn't seem to take the horse in his eyes.

After receiving the princess's signal, the horse on the side hurriedly and respectfully sent his blessings: "Chen Zhouzheng is the same as Princess Zhixi, I am glad to hear that the emperor and Concubine Wu are tying the knot together, and I have come to wish the emperor and Concubine Wu a happy marriage, a hundred years of happiness!" ”

At this time, Lu Hui was looking at Zhou Zheng who was speaking, and to her surprise, what Zhou Zheng said this time was correct and pure. only sighs at a rather exotic face but speaks authentic Central Plains dialect, which always gives people a feeling of incongruity. But it's not so surprising to think that he is a member of the dynasty after all.

This week's appearance is not the same as that of traditional blacks, the complexion is not as black as expected, but a bit of bronzed, the nose is also high, and the eyes are deep brown, maybe this is the descendant of the combination of blacks and yellows. On the whole, it is still a talent. Sure enough, the eldest princess's vision will not be bad.

Everyone was waiting for the emperor's response.

Helian Zhi didn't answer immediately, his eyes changed from soft at first to sharp, staring straight at Zhou Zheng with his head down, and after thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice: "When did I announce that you entered the palace?" I don't know what to say! There was a sense of intimidation in his tone.

Zhou Zheng couldn't help but be shocked.

Helian Zhi continued, "Since you are here, it is not easy for my Chongye Dynasty to expel you from the state of etiquette. However, you are not a member of my court, and now you are able to get close to the eldest princess Fang Chengzhen's courtier, how do I know if you are loyal or not? In this way, I give you food, if you can follow the example of the ancients and prostrate yourself to eat, it will show that you are loyal, and I can rest assured that I will deliver the imperial sister to you, how about it? ”

Helian Zhi's words rang out on the heads of Zhou Zheng and the eldest princess like five thunderbolts, I didn't expect the emperor to humiliate him like this! It is indeed a great favor for the emperor to give food, and the recipient must also accept it respectfully, but isn't it too difficult for people to "prostrate themselves and eat" just to eat on their knees!

Zhou Zheng looked embarrassed, however, after thinking for a while, he still replied humbly: "Thank you for the emperor's gift, the minister is loyal to the emperor, and he is willing to prostrate himself and eat!" ”

Hearing this, Helian Zhi glanced at him lightly and said, "That's good!" Come on, give the royal food! ”

With a "bang", everyone began to point at this time. Eating on his prostrate side, he has really become a low-class pariah! The eldest princess stood aside helplessly and anxiously, although she had been prepared that the emperor would not treat them well, but she would not be so disregarding her identity as the eldest princess and embarrassing her in public.

She regretted a little that she insisted on coming.

After a while, the maid of the first palace brought a jade bowl full of food and handed it to Zhou Zheng. I saw Zhou Zheng take it with both hands, knelt on the ground, raised the food bowl high above his head, and after thanking the emperor repeatedly, he lay on the ground to eat.

The hall was filled with playful snickering. No matter how bad it is, it is also a princess and a horse, but it is reduced to kneeling and eating like an animal, which is unprecedented.

This scene is both sad and moving. Helian Zhi has been staring at Zhou Zheng intently, this Zhou Zheng seems to be able to bend and stretch, and he doesn't want the eldest princess to be embarrassed. This seems to be a gift, but in fact it is an insult in disguise, how many people can endure it?

After a long time, Helian Sik finally gave the order.

"Well, I have seen your loyalty, my husband, I am deeply glad to entrust the princess to you, please take a seat!"

Helian Zhi's sudden "kindness" made a lot of people who were holding the excitement of watching the excitement reduce their interest, and they all hoped that the emperor would make it even more difficult to get this so-called 'Kunlun man', who looked weird and had a low status in their eyes, but was able to fly on the branches and become a phoenix, let him know that he got what he didn't deserve, and he should pay the necessary price!

After Zhou Zheng received the emperor's grace to give him a seat, he did not immediately stand up and take a seat, but continued to kneel and replied: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" After thinking about it, he continued: "Back to the emperor, the minister has expressed his loyalty, and now he is the emperor's courtier, then, the minister has a request!" ”

Helian Zhi's face suddenly turned a lot colder, and he looked a little impatient, "What else is wrong with you?" ”

Unexpectedly, he gave him a step down, but he had to inch in.

"It's about the 'mind technique' that the minister studied applying to become a school. Previously, the minister had applied at the Jingshan Coronation Conference, but it was rejected by the Assembly. The minister now implores the emperor to give the minister another chance and seriously consider the minister's request! Zhou Zheng's bronzed forehead was already dripping with thin beads of imperceptible sweat, and it seemed that he was nervous.

It turned out to be this, but I didn't expect him to be haunted. It's just that how can he allow such a school of thought?

"Needless to say, your so-called 'mental art' is really no different from the crooked path of the evil sect, how can you apply to become an authentic school, you should die!" Helian Sik rejected him without thinking.

Although he had expected it, Zhou Zheng still did not give up: "Back to the emperor, the minister's 'mental art' is by no means an evil crooked way, the 'mental art' is the study of human psychology, everyone and even animals have their own psychology, psychological control of action, if you can thoroughly study people's psychology, then it will provide great help for dealing with things!" So once again, I implore the emperor to seriously consider the minister's request. ”

To put it bluntly, it seems that Zhou Zheng is indeed studying something related to 'mental arts'. "Mental art"? Is it what modern so-called "psychology"? If that's the case, it's a little too avant-garde. The interest of the Green Club was suddenly raised. I didn't expect that even "psychology" came out, what else is impossible here?
