Chapter 33: The Dragon's Face is Heavy, and the Final Word is Blown!
There was a "boom", and the ground thundered.
It was as if the pot had exploded in everyone's minds.
What is a beloved?
Could it be that the prince's beloved is not Su Liuyue, the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion?
So what does that mean now?
Concubine Lian has such a good eye? Does that mean that the one in the prince's heart is actually ...... The second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion - Su Ziran?
Su Lingchuan and Qi Huanyuan couldn't help but tremble slightly, and glanced at Su Liuyue's reaction worriedly. And at this moment, Su Liuyue had long lost the possibility of composure, Juanxiu's face was pale, she bit her lower lip tightly, her nails were deeply embedded in the flesh of her palm, almost broken, but she didn't realize it, she just stared at the man in the center of the hall for a moment - the man who said he would marry her before she was fifteen years old!
Su Ziran was stunned.
The wine cup that was knocked over by Su Liuyue had already been filled by her, but it was overturned again at this moment.
Emperor Jing glanced at Concubine Lian beside him without any doubt, but when he saw her moving her lips in astonishment, he felt a little unhappy in his heart for some reason: "Prince, what do you mean by this?" ”
"Back to his father's words, the reason why Erchen has always been not very enthusiastic about marrying a concubine is because Erchen has already had someone in his heart. And that person is the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Ziran. ”
"Then why haven't I heard you mention it before?" -
First, he was afraid of ruining Miss Su's reputation, and secondly, he didn't want to force her, so he wanted to choose a suitable time to ask her what she meant, and then propose it to his father. It's just that at this moment, Erchen can't manage so much, if he doesn't bring it up again, Erchen will definitely regret it for life. ”
At this moment, everyone was silent.
There was a dead silence in the Zhenghe hall, no one dared to make the slightest sound, and even the breathing was slightly restrained.
Concubine Lian sighed regretfully: "If the emperor wants to take back Fang Cai, the concubine will not dare to say more, and she should obey the emperor's order unconditionally." ”
Is this a concession?
Emperor Jing's deep eyes revealed a hint of danger.
Maybe others will think that she is giving in, only he knows, she just likes to be so duplicitous, the more she doesn't mind, the more calculating she is in her heart, and she is a woman who is so stubborn that ten cows can't pull it back.
And he, as an emperor, how can he be untrustworthy?
"Prince, for the sake of you being trapped by love, I will not embarrass you, and I will forgive you for going back on your word. It's just that since you have promised me to choose the crown princess after the royal brothers have chosen the princess, and I have promised Concubine Lian to let her choose a princess for King Rui, then Su Xiang's second daughter Su Ziran should be your fourth emperor's brother. ”
"Father......" Jun Luoyu frowned, still unwilling.
"I've made up my mind, and I have to say more. As for you, since you said that you have someone in mind, it is futile to let you choose what princess to choose, so it is better for me to decide for you and marry Su Liuyue, the third daughter of Su Xiang! ”
The dragon's face is heavy, and the final word is final!
Jun Luoyu had no choice but to squeeze his fists fiercely and bowed: "Erchen obeys the order!" ”
Concubine Lian's straight shoulders were almost invisibly relaxed, although there was no smile, there was a hint of relief in the depths of her eyes: "Thank you to the emperor for your grace, concubine." ”
Emperor Jing nodded, Han Sensen's gaze swept over the two parties, and when he spoke, it was directed at Jun Luohan.
"King Rui, do you have any opinions?"
Su Ziran also looked at Emperor Jing's line of sight, in fact, she was very afraid that this man would say "I have an opinion", this fear did not come from the fear of being rejected by him, but after such a war of words, if he didn't agree to marry her, then where would he put Emperor Jing's face? And how should he deal with himself?
Although she didn't know why the prince suddenly fought for herself, maybe it was for the sake of the talisman, but she knew that Jun Luohan was disdainful, there was no reason, she just felt so.
"Erchen...... No comments. Jun Luohan pursed his lips and shook his head, "Thank you, Father Emperor Longen." ”
Su Ziran suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but in the next second, she suddenly crashed into those deep phoenix eyes.
I don't know why.
Maybe he was upset, she thought.
Seeing her reaction, he must have thought that she wanted to marry him and wanted to go crazy, right?
"Now that the Seventh Emperor and the Ninth Emperor are not in Beijing, the matter of their choice of concubines will be put on hold, and they will consider it after they return to Beijing!" Emperor Jing waved his hand, and his gaze slowly turned to the envoys of the four countries, "I am dealing with family affairs today, if there is any neglect of your envoys, I hope you don't take it to heart." ”
"We are very honored to be able to appreciate the Xiao Le of the Tianque Dynasty, and the emperor does not have to be polite." The envoys of the Western Regions took the lead in speaking, and the rest of the countries echoed one after another.
In the center of the main hall, the sound of stroking the qin sounded again, and the clear and elegant tune did not melt the feelings of any person who played the qin, although it sounded bland, but it was also suitable for this situation. At this time, where did everyone still have any mind to listen to the music, everyone was so frightened by the ups and downs of Fang Cai that they didn't dare to speak out and buried their heads in drinking.
The head of the envoys of the Western Regions suddenly got up from his seat and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I am waiting for this time, and there is one more thing I hope will be helped by Tianque." ”
Emperor Jing nodded: "I don't know what happened to the envoy?" ”
"Back to the emperor, the king of the Western Regions got a treasure a month ago, but this treasure also contains a problem, my king has been thinking for a long time but can't find a way, thinking that the Tianque Dynasty is full of talents, so this time I specially ordered us to bring the treasure to Tianque, I hope that Tianque can have capable people to help us crack the essence here."
"Oh? Is there such a thing? Emperor Jing was obviously very happy to be praised by him, and he looked even more proud against the backdrop of a dragon robe, "Then please ask the messenger to present the treasure to everyone to see." ”
The envoy of the Western Regions nodded yes, and ordered another person to present the tray brought by Shicai, when the covered silk cloud brocade was lifted, revealing a white pearl the size of a juju, and if you look closely, there are two eyelets on the surface of the pearl that are not big or small, and they are shining with a translucent arc of light in a faint dark light.
"The name of this pearl is called Jiuqu Linglong Pearl, and there is an exit at each end, but there are nine hundred and eighty-one forks in the pearl. The problem that puzzled my king for a long time was how to thread a red thread from one exit to another in the time of a stick of incense. ”
There was an uproar.
It is really a problem that has plagued the King of the Western Regions for a long time!
Don't look at the small holes of this bead, with a soft red thread, how can you cross these ninety-nine eighty-one forks in the time of a stick of incense?
Su Ziran was startled.
As a modern person, this problem is not a problem for her at all, but it is just a nine-song exquisite pearl...... What's going on?
She has been looking for the whereabouts of the Linglong Pearl, but in fact, she has never seen what the Linglong Pearl looks like, at this moment, is the one presented by the Western Regions just the one with the same name, or is it really the one she is looking for?
At this moment, she was a little anxious to see Xue Yan, the person only looked at her and knew that she was suffering from cold, and immediately said that Linglong Zhu could cure her disease, so is it possible for him to know the true appearance of Linglong Zhu?
Emperor Jing glanced at the nine-song exquisite pearl, and said calmly: "If someone can solve the doubts of the envoy of the Western Regions today, I will be rewarded!" ”
