153 Double Happiness
Concubine Ling was originally grounded by Emperor Song Yuan, but she almost missed this state banquet. But fortunately, she has a very remarkable father, so His Majesty's grounding order was annulled yesterday.
She was originally the proud daughter of the sky, and she was born to be noticed and looked up to like this, if it weren't for the sudden appearance of that woman and child, she would still be a high concubine now, where would she arouse His Majesty's suspicion and annoyance like now.
Thinking of Qingjiang, Concubine Ling's heart was like thousands of ants crawling by, numb and itchy, she had an urge to slap those little creatures to death, so that it could never appear in front of her again.
Concubine Ling was confined for a few days, and she had sorted out many things in her heart, and she also knew that she couldn't sit still like this. But at the same time, she waited for her father's letter for a few days, but for some reason it was not delivered to her.
She didn't know what went wrong.
At this moment, she walked with proud steps, her head was high, and the pearl of the phoenix hairpin on her head and the step pendant also swore her state of mind at the moment.
As soon as she turned her head, she saw Qingjiang sitting in Song Yuan's hand, and there was still no child beside her, but a man was sitting. The man didn't look at her, but at the bottom of the table, wondering what was down there.
Concubine Ling glanced at Qingjiang and looked away, the hem of the palace dress crossed a beautiful arc, and saluted steadily towards Emperor Song, and her knees were picked up by the emperor before she could twist and turn, and then sat beside the emperor in a dignified manner.
Qingjiang felt very strange. According to what she knows, Concubine Ling's character, although she is not a stupid woman with big breasts and no brains. But it's by no means as steady and leaky as it is now. At least now, in Qingjiang's opinion, he couldn't see what Concubine Ling was thinking at all.
Could it be that these are all Ling Guogong's instructions. Ling Guogong seemed to stand up and say something just now, what did he say?
Lunch is eaten in a large hall, which is a formality in itself, and in this case, whoever can eat well with an open stomach must not only pay attention to whether his words and deeds are in line with his identity, but also pay attention to what the God King of the High Platform says, and from time to time echo a few laughs.
Although His Majesty Emperor Song doesn't look like a person who can tell jokes.
Not much longer. The scraps on the table were taken away by the palace maid. After changing into melon and fruit snacks after the meal, Qingjiang knew that the main event was coming.
But she is actually reluctant to talk about things after eating. But this is on someone's turf. She didn't want to. There's no way around that.
At this time, there were musicians playing music on the side, and the first one to step forward was Yan He, who was accompanied by Yan Yi who was dressed in red. There was also a man in a brocade robe, holding a brocade box in his hand.
Yan He stepped forward a few steps, knelt down at Song Yuan's head, took the box handed over by the brocade-robed man and raised it above his head, and said loudly: "Yan Guo has sent congratulatory gifts, and the ten counties of Yandi are dedicated to His Majesty Emperor Song, and I wish the two countries stable relations." ”
Qingjiang was stunned for a moment, there is not much land in Yan Kingdom, and she has also heard of the ten counties of Yan Land a little, this is the fortress of Yan Kingdom's soldiers, if she loses these ten county capitals, if she wants to break the palace of Yan Kingdom, it is not just a hand.
Why did Yan Guo show favor to Song Guo so much. Sure enough, as soon as Yan He's words came out, there was an uproar in the hall, everyone only knew that His Majesty Yan Guo had plans to marry his daughter, but they didn't know that the dowry brought by this daughter was so rich.
Qing Jiang stared at Song Yuan, and suddenly pulled a malicious smile.
Song Yuan, this time I'll take a look, how do you refuse?
Yan He kept kneeling in place, did not stand up or move, and after the discussion faded away, he raised his head and stared at His Majesty Emperor Song in the high position, and his tone changed to neither humble nor arrogant.
"But Yan Guo has one condition for giving such a big gift."
As soon as he said this, it was another round of discussion, but this time Yan He then said: "My sister has always loved Your Majesty, so what my father means is that if Your Majesty is willing to marry your royal sister, these ten counties will be regarded as the dowry given by Yan Guo to your imperial sister, and Your Majesty does not have to feel embarrassed." ”
This passage is half a temptation and half a consideration for Song Guo, and even the excuse is thought of for Song Yuan.
If Song Yuan directly accepted the congratulatory gifts from the ten counties of Yan Kingdom, it would definitely cause a sensation in the Five Kingdoms, but if the princess of Yan Kingdom married into Song Kingdom and the two countries got married, such a discussion would fade away.
After all, in this way, the two countries have formed a good relationship between Qin and Jin, and the Yan Kingdom is willing to give such a valuable gift to its own princess, what else do you outsiders have to say!
Everyone waited with bated breath and waited for His Majesty Song Guo's answer, after all, such a good thing, as a man standing at the pinnacle of power, there was no reason to refuse.
So at this time, the other person's face is also the focus of everyone's attention.
Concubine Ling's first reaction was to look for Ling Guogong's figure in the main hall. Ling Guogong only shook his head slightly at her, and then stopped looking at her. So Concubine Ling's heart was cold again, and her beautiful nails painted with ten-fingered dankou sank into the cushion under her.
Ever since Yan Yi saw Emperor Song's face, she seemed to be obsessed, and she only knew that she was looking at it obsessively, and she had completely forgotten where she was now.
From standing up from her position to kneeling down, she didn't know how many postures she had changed, but from beginning to end, that majestic and domineering gaze never fell on her.
Standing on her, the gaze from the high platform carried resentment, obviously from the gorgeous woman on the high position.
Yan Yi straightened her chest and looked back unceremoniously. She had been staring at this woman all the way in just now, she was obviously inferior to herself, but she was able to sit next to that person.
No, she doesn't like it. From now on, the woman sitting next to him will only be himself.
Yan Yi didn't know that her lack of etiquette was more like burning a fire in Concubine Ling's heart. But even if she gets angry again, she just endures it and doesn't move, and she is waiting.
Waiting for Song Yuan's answer.
After a long, long time, Qingjiang was a little tired, and couldn't help but secretly hide his sleeves and yawn, when His Majesty Emperor Song's eyes suddenly passed through everyone and fell on her face.
Qingjiang maintained the action of covering her sleeves, and suddenly saw that everyone's eyes turned to her face with His Majesty Emperor Song, she frowned, a trace of impatience flashed in her eyes, and then smiled slightly.
"Does His Highness the King of the State think there is anything wrong with this matter?"
Liuzhou was watching a good show, and suddenly his name was called, and the wine glass in his hand had not been put down.
When he heard Song Yuan say this, he put down the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile: "The minister thinks it's very good, congratulations to Your Majesty for being happy with a good person, and you are really happy." ”
At this time, everyone saw Emperor Song Yuan in the high position show a smile, and then said to the king of the state from afar: "Then I am in charge and give you such a good thing, what do you think?" (To be continued.) )
