Liang Jin seemed to have known the news for a long time, and just sat there quietly. As if sensing her gaze, he looked up and smiled at her.

She knew that he was saying he was fine.

No matter how much heartache there is, after so long, it will only fester, and it will never be revealed on the surface again.

Yu Ruoxu turned his head to look at the little emperor again, he was obviously stiff, and his dark eyes exuded vague anger, but then his eyes turned and he returned to a thin and cool appearance.

The Queen Mother smiled and ordered someone to accept the gift of the Xianbei envoy, "I didn't expect your Khan to be so sincere, and the mourning family thanked him for his good words first." “

"The Queen Mother is polite." The Xianbei envoy saluted without humility or arrogance, and then retreated to his table. The envoy of Xiqiang sitting on the side was also unable to show weakness, and stood up from the side of the table, "Since Lord Qiudun of Xianbei has made a start, then we Xiqiang can't hide it either." “

The Queen Mother smiled, "Did Lord Secret also bring any treasures for the mourning family and the emperor?" “

"I can't say it, I just want Bo Niangniang and the emperor to laugh." After that, the Xiqiang envoy took out two delicate small boxes from his arms, inlaid with red sapphires, "As we all know, we Xiqiang people are good at making incense, this is the dragon and phoenix incense that has recently become popular in Xiqiang, the box inlaid with blue gems contains dragon incense, the smell is refreshing, suitable for the emperor, and the red gem box contains phoenix incense, which is fragrant and luxurious, and it is more suitable for harem ladies to use." The two aromas are in the same vein, but they are different, hoping to please the emperor and the mother. “

When the Queen Mother heard that it was a rare dragon and phoenix incense, she was a little curious, "It turns out that Xiqiang still has this kind of incense, and the mourning family is an eye-opener today." “

"That's right, the concubine is too, I've tasted Sister Zheng's crystal fish soup, I didn't expect there to be something like dragon and phoenix incense." Song Guiren said with a smile.

Why, do you still want to hint that the Queen Mother will reward this phoenix fragrance to Zheng Meiren?

Just when Yu Ruoxu was thinking about it, the palace people presented two small boxes, and the queen mother looked at it carefully and said, "This dragon incense is suitable for the emperor, as for the phoenix incense...... Jieyu has been taking care of the harem for the mourning family, which is also hard, this phoenix fragrance smells comfortable, but it is the most suitable for you. “

Liang Jieyu looked flattered, and hurriedly got up and saluted, "The queen mother is tormenting the concubines, and it is the concubine's job to help the queen mother take care of the harem with her sister, where does the hard work come from?" “

"Don't be polite to the mourners, take it quickly." The Queen Mother smiled faintly.

"Thank you, Mother."

Yu Ruoxu was thoughtful, looking at the jealous look that flashed on Song Guiren's face, and probably understood a little.

This Zheng beauty is on the throne, it should be related to Song Guiren, right? However, although Liang Jieyu doesn't have much favor, at least her identity is there, and Song Guiren wants to compete with her...... The odds are slim.

She thought secretly, her eyes swept over the table of the envoys, but she found that at this time, the seat next to the envoy of Nanyue was empty, and the princess of Nanyue who was supposed to be sitting there had disappeared.

For some reason, she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

After that, the Goryeo envoy also got up and gave the little emperor a zither made of peach wood, which was engraved with calligraphy written by the king of Goryeo himself, but it took a lot of thought. In the end, the South Vietnamese envoy stood up leisurely and bowed to the little emperor and the queen mother, "Your Majesty, your mother, our South Vietnam is located in the south of Lingnan, rich in all kinds of pearls, today, the villain brought a rare South China Sea pearl to help the emperor." “

"The lord of Nanyue will pay tribute to the imperial court every year to pay tribute to the pearls of the South China Sea, what is this rare way?" The Queen Mother asked.

The South Vietnamese envoy smiled, as if he was deliberately selling Guanzi, "The Queen Mother will know when she sees it." ”

After that, he clapped his hands, and saw a girl dressed in a gorgeous costume and curly and graceful walk into the hall, holding a mussel shell in her hand, the mussel shell was slightly opened, revealing a little pearl luster inside. Yu Ruoxu has never seen such a big pearl, let alone such a charming girl.

She gave birth to a pair of extremely good-looking phoenix eyes, just like Liu Xiyue, there is a beauty mole at the corner of her eye, which looks more and more charming and silky, and the charm that comes out of her bones almost hooks people's souls. The girl walked to the front of the steps and saluted, "Xu Xiao'e of Nanyue Kingdom, meet the emperor and Niangniang." ”

The silky voice was almost bewitching, and everyone couldn't help but gasp.

The princess of Nanyue came to send pearls in person?

Is this a pearl or a gift?

"How can Princess Lao send it personally, hurry up." The Queen Mother coughed, "This pearl is ......"

"Back to the Queen Mother, this is a rare jade pearl in the South China Sea." The South Vietnamese envoy explained that Xu Xiao'e opened the mussel shell in response, only to see a huge pearl lying in the center of the mussel shell, quietly shining with crystal brilliance, flowing out of the moon-white brilliance.

"It's really a rare quality." The Queen Mother sighed.

Waiting for the palace people to take the mussel shell, the envoy of Nanyue said with a smile, "Our Nanyue pearls are beautiful, and the people are even more beautiful." If the emperor does not dislike it, our princess is willing to accompany the king for a long time, add fragrance to the emperor's red sleeves, and dispel sorrows. ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone almost blew up, which was obviously forcibly stuffing people for the little emperor!

"What are these words, Lord Ju." Marquis Dingyuan suddenly spoke up, and the voices around him suddenly became much quieter, "My dynasty has a rule, and a general election can only be held every three years, so it is unreasonable to directly let the emperor take concubines." ”

"I see, disrespectful and disrespectful." The envoy of Nanyue hurriedly bowed his hand to the Marquis of Dingyuan, "But our princess has admired the men of the Central Plains since she was a child, and this time she traveled thousands of miles to Beijing with her official to find a Langjun who can be entrusted for life." I ask the emperor to be considerate of our princess's heart, and also ...... for the friendship between the two countries."

"Your Majesty!" Marquis Dingyuan directly interrupted the words of the envoy of Nanyue and said to the little emperor, "The ancestral system cannot be moved, please think twice about it." ”

"Although our South Vietnam is a small country, it has its own backbone, and I hope that the Marquis will not be humiliated in front of everyone." The envoy of Nanyue seemed to be a little angry, "I have already presented the national letter written by our lord to the emperor and the queen mother, and I also ask the emperor and the mother to consider it carefully." “

From beginning to end, the little emperor sat on his seat indifferently, without speaking or moving, like a doll at the mercy of others, without a trace of life.

"The lord of South Vietnam wants to marry the two countries, and this feeling of mourning is understandable." The Queen Mother opened her mouth lightly, "But the Xue family's ancestral system of more than 200 years cannot be abolished...... There are also many dragons and phoenixes in our court, why doesn't the princess choose loyal ministers and good generals who have no wives in the court, isn't this also a good relationship with our court? “

Yu Ruoxu felt that something was wrong, she looked up at the Queen Mother, and there seemed to be countless undercurrents in her unfathomable eyes. I only heard Xu Xiao'e "plop" and kneel on the ground, "Thank you for the Queen Mother's compassion, the courtiers don't know that the court still has such rules, offended the emperor, and asked the emperor and the queen mother to forgive them." “

"Why did you kneel down again? Get up quickly," the Queen Mother said with a smile, "You said that you are happy with the men of the Central Plains, and all the people here today are the pillars of the country, is there any one you like?" “

Yu Ruoxu's hands trembled a little, and the feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger, according to the rules, even if the ancestral system of the three-year draft cannot be abolished, the imperial court can completely set this family first, and wait for three years to marry directly into the palace. Now the Queen Mother has directly thrown the burden to the ministers and sons, as if she had planned it before.

"Actually...... The courtiers already have people who are pleasing to their hearts. Xu Xiao'e's face was slightly red, her soft eyes turned slightly, and she looked in the direction of Yu Zhongjun, "When the courtiers saw Lord Yu today, they immediately understood what it means to be a gentleman like a cypress......

With a gentle word, it was like a thunderbolt, and there was a lot of discussion in the hall.

Yu Zhongjun was stunned, got up and arched his hand, "Thank you for the princess's love." Yu is already past the age of her own daughter, and the princess is as old as her own daughter, so she can't bear to ......"

"I've inquired, and your wife has been dead for ten years. The Queen Mother said, as long as it is a courtier who does not have a wife, you refuse directly, is it possible that you don't look down on my intentions? Xu Xiao'e was a little aggrieved, turned to the Queen Mother and said, "Niangniang, you have to be the master of the courtiers!" “

Yu Ruoxu only felt ridiculous, compared to the little emperor, this Xu Xiao'e seemed to be more interested in the Yu family.

"Yu Aiqing, the mourning family thinks this is a good marriage." The Queen Mother spoke, "The Yu Mansion just lacks a housewife, and Miss Yu is still waiting for the boudoir, if there is no housewife to take care of it, it will be delayed a lot." “

"Thank you for the empress dowager's compassion." Yu Zhongjun stepped forward and kowtowed deeply to the Queen Mother, "There are only two ministers and little girls in the Yu Mansion, and there are housekeepers to help take care of it, and the affairs in the mansion are also in order." On the contrary, the princess is a daughter, how can she marry Weichen? Please also ask the princess to think twice. “

Seeing his firm face, the Queen Mother sighed, Xu Xiao'e seemed a little anxious when she heard him say this, "This princess said that if she is not married, she is not married, why do you care so much about identity?" “

"The princess is in love. It's really Yu's age......"

"Princess Ben doesn't mind anymore, what else do you mind?" Xu Xiao'e was excited, and there was a mist in her eyes, "Do you know that my marriage to you is related to the national fortunes of the two countries, don't you have a saying, don't you have a saying that the Lu of the king is worried about the king?" Why, this is how you share your worries for the emperor? “

Yu Zhongjun was so blocked by her that he couldn't say a word, so he simply knelt on the ground in silence and didn't say a word.

"The Queen Mother-" Xu Xiao'e looked at him as if he didn't eat oil and salt, and her heart was even more angry, "Please ask the Queen Mother to be the master of the courtiers!" “

"If the queen mother feels embarrassed, why don't you ask Miss Yu what she means?" Song Guiren's voice broke the brief silence, "What do you think? ”

The Queen Mother was stunned, "It's the same." Or is it thoughtful. ”

Song Guiren said with a smile, "Where is it thoughtful, but I just think that Miss Yu is the treasure on the tip of Lord Yu's heart, this Miss Yu's words will definitely be more effective than anything else for Lord Yu." ”

Yu Ruoxu was a little ruthless in her heart, Song Guiren's two sentences were so powerful, if they were sounded by outsiders, it would seem like there were other ambiguous feelings between their father and daughter.

"Lord Yu and Miss Yu have a deep father-daughter relationship, and licking calves is the norm of human relations, and it is naturally more effective than anything else." Hearing this, Liang Jin frowned and couldn't help but speak.

Everyone didn't expect that the prince would suddenly speak, and the entire hall was suddenly silent.

For some reason, Song Guiren seemed to be suddenly deflated, and his eyes were a little red, "When the prince said this, it seems that he is not from this palace." ”

"The minister didn't mean this, he just talked about the matter, and asked the mother to forgive the sin." Liang Jin hurriedly got up and arched his hand.

Yu Ruoxu glanced at Liang Jin with some gratitude, and saw that he nodded slightly at him, and the afterglow swept over Song Guiren, only to see her deep gaze wandering between the two of them, revealing an intriguing jealousy.

"Miss Yu, what do you think?" After a while, the Queen Mother asked.

Yu Ruoxu got up and walked to Yu Zhongjun's side, knelt down and saluted, "The maiden wants to ask the princess a few questions first, I wonder if the Queen Mother will allow it?" ”

"Just ask."

Yu Ruoxu turned her head to look at Xu Xiao'e, only to see two tear stains on her charming face, and sighed in her heart, "The princess fell in love with her father at first sight, which is the blessing of our Yu family." I don't know if the princess knows, my father has not renewed the strings so far, because he can't let go of the mothers of the people's daughters in his heart. ”

"If the princess enters the mansion, she may raise her eyebrows with her father and respect each other like guests, but her father's affection will always be on a person who has long since passed away, and the princess will never be able to compete with a person who has ascended to bliss early. Even so, will the princess accept it? ”

Yu Zhongjun looked up at his daughter, and saw that Yu Ruoxu's eyes were flashing with an inquiring light, obviously talking about the affectionate past, but there was no sadness in his tone to recall the old days.

"This princess only wants to respect each other as a guest." Xu Xiao'e didn't think about it, and replied categorically.

Yu Ruoxu frowned, and did not continue to ask, then turned to salute the Queen Mother and said, "After the people have finished asking, they all listen to the Queen Mother's orders." “

After a while, the Queen Mother spoke, but her voice was much colder than usual, as if she was desperately ninja or something, "Miss Yu doesn't shy away from the past at home......"

Yu Ruoxu was stunned, looked up at the Queen Mother, and saw that her jaw was tight, and her eyes were terrifying, "The folk girl has lost her temper." “

"Since Miss Yu didn't object, then Lord Yu, do you still want to continue to refuse?" The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and asked.
