Chapter 53
The unfair treatment that Qi Hong received under the suppression of the dazzling eyes of the prince of Qi Xuan Beiding was simply countless. Among them, whether it is malicious remarks from others, or Qi Xuan, who wants to inherit the prince of Beiding in the future, can bring the Beiding palace farther and more brilliant, so Qi Hong has to take the initiative to give up the road of career and all other huge grievances, no matter who it is, it is not something that ordinary people can endure.
And compared with Xu Mingxi, the most different thing between Qi Hong and her is that although when it comes to the generation of Xu Youshan of the Jiangzuo Xu family, the first thing people think of is naturally Xu Qi, the eldest son of the second room, and Xu Yourong, the eldest daughter of the long house. But Xu Mingcheng is also close behind these two, and it has never faded from people's impressions. Especially after Xu Mingcheng married Qi Xuan, her reputation increased day by day.
However, as for Qi Hong, on the contrary, he is not only vaguely dissimilar in people's impressions, but even in the circle of top gate lords and royal relatives and nobles, most of the second son of the Qi family has only heard of his name and has not seen him.
Therefore, when King Pi and Princess Li, when they heard that the Qi family of the Beiding Royal Mansion was here in person for such a big battle today, it was actually to ask for the marriage of the Shuoyun County Lord for the "unknown" Qi Hong, the two of them would be so resistant but hopeless.
And I guess if this happened to other people as well, they should react the same way as King and Princess Li. After all, only Xu Youshan and Xu Chen, who have really seen and know Qi Hong, understand how good Qi Hong is, so good that they feel sorry for him like that.
"Cousin Hong."
And just when Xu Youshan and everyone were immersed in their own thoughts. A somewhat blank voice rang out. provoked everyone to follow the reputation, but found that this white-eyed voice turned out to be Xu Mingming's.
"Sister-in-law."
But just after Xu Mingcheng shouted Qi Hong with a big grin. Qi Hong also turned sideways and answered.
And under the sun, Qi Hong's white face like a glow, with a warm smile that seems to always make people feel comfortable, and the groaning look made Xu Youshan and the others slowly disappear because of Xu Mingxi's abrupt shout.
"Cousin Hong. Have you ever met Lord Shuoyun? β
But the pretty person who had aroused public anger didn't notice her "big deeds" at all, but still directly mentioned the lord of Shuoyun to Qi Hong under the doting eyes of her husband Qi Xuan beside her.
"Can you be a little more blind?"
Don't wait for Qi Hong to answer Xu Mingxi's question. Xu Yourong scolded Xu Mingcheng in a low voice.
"Why am I white-eyed, since Cousin Hong thinks so thoroughly, then if we are secretive about this topic, will we be white-eyed?" But Xu Mingcheng retorted.
"Yes. Cousin Hong has thought everything through thoroughly. But we should always give Cousin Hong some time, you bring up the topic of Shuoyun County Lord right away, it's not called Baimu, what is it called. Xu Yourong gave Xu Mingcheng a big, big white eye.
"Hey, Cousin Hong isn't as fragile as you say, okay. And who is blind, you are. β
"Ha, I really don't know anyone more white than you."
"You."
"Where. You're welcome. β
Alas...... Looking at Xu Yourong and Xu Minghuan, who were fighting together again, Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen didn't have to think about anything. immediately smiled apologetically at Qi Hong, and Qi Hong certainly knew his cousins very well, so he also shook his head at Xu Youshan and the others, signaling that it didn't matter, and then turned around and continued to walk towards Qinghe Ju with everyone.
It's just that the answer to Qi Hong's mouth has just arrived, and at this time, in Qi Hong's mind, he has seen this Shuoyun County Lord a few times.
King Pi is the most first-class royal relative today, and the lord of Shuoyun has been loved by Emperor Zhou Hui for some reason since he was a child, so he is not only more favored than the eldest princess of Deming, but also in front of Emperor Zhou Hui, the lord of Shuoyun is also more able to speak than the eldest princess of Deming. So even before Qi Hong first met the Lord of Shuoyun, he had already heard of her name, not to mention, when he saw her with his own eyes-
The first time Qi Hong met the lord of Shuoyun was when Qi Pei, the king of Beiding, took several brothers of the Qi family into the palace for a banquet together. And he was fifteen years old, and she was only eleven years old, with two round sideburns, and two bright red ribbons tied around the temples, so that her little face was white and red, and against the background of the bright red ribbons that hung down to her cheeks, it was as lovely as the sweetest fruit. And this is also the first time Qi Hong saw the lord of Shuoyun, he thought that this little girl was too cute, nothing more.
And when Qi Hong saw the Lord of Shuoyun for the second time, it was at a banquet three years later. At that time, he was eighteen years old, and she was fourteen years old, and she had already changed drastically from the childish little girl she had three years ago. Not only has the body lengthened, but the beautiful facial features have also grown, just like the hibiscus in the lake, curling and tingting, like a flower. But at that time, the lord of Shuoyun County was surrounded by the stars and the moon at the banquet, and Qi Hong was left independent by no one, he had no impression of her for a long time, and she had no relationship with him.
The third time, but when Qi Hong saw the Lord of Shuoyun for the third time, this time it was no longer as far away as the first and second time when he saw her for the second time, but in the same year, they met again. And this time, it was in the Beiding Palace, at the birthday banquet of the Beiding Princess Rui, the King of Pi and the Princess of Pi brought the lord of Shuoyun County to the Beiding Mansion to congratulate. On that day, it was the third time Qi Hong met the Lord of Shuoyun.
And this time, Qi Hong is no longer unimpressed with the lord of Shuoyun, after all, it is not for nothing that the princess can be favored by Emperor Zhou Hui more than the eldest princess of Deming. But there is no one who can be like the lord of Shuoyun, as the daughter of the prince, that is, the person who has overwhelmed the eldest princess of Deming.
Therefore, not to mention anything else, Qi Hong has since remembered who the lord of Shuoyun is, although between the two of them, in addition to seeing each other and greeting each other. There was no communication, but from then on, Qi Hong knew who the lord of Shuoyun was; And the lord of Shuoyun. It is rare to remember the second son of Qi in Beiding Wangfu, whose name most people only hear and do not see.
And the fourth, fifth, and all the subsequent encounters, Qi Hong and the Shuoyun County Lord also did not communicate too much. And Qi Hong is idle by nature, and he doesn't pay much attention to everything else except reading. But originally, with Qi Hong's identity as the descendant of the Qi family of the Beiding Palace, he couldn't act like him, but because of the guilt of almost everyone such as the old princess and Qi Pei, the king of Beiding, they all followed Qi Hong's wishes. Let him live his life as he wishes. Because of this, this second son of the Qi family of the Beiding Palace, who is almost unknown, was created.
But no matter what, Qi Hong didn't expect it. Unexpectedly, he would actually get involved with the Lord of Shuoyun, and he might become each other's other half, spending the rest of their lives together. This surprised Qi Hong, but he didn't resist it much.
And what is the reason for this non-contradiction? In fact, it is similar to what Xu Youshan and the four of them expected. In this era when husbands and wives pay attention to each other's respect. As long as you don't have a sense of disgust for each other, thank God, how can you ask for any love and so on.
Therefore, Qi Hong really didn't have much objection to his marriage with the lord of Shuoyun County. And just like he said to Xu Chen, if his marriage with the Lord of Shuoyun is really decided, then he will take all the responsibilities of this marriage, and he will also take on the life of his wife, the Lord of Shuoyun.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"What do you say? You repeat. β
"Back to the words of the county lord. Just now, the prince and princess of Beiding, as well as the head of the Qi courtyard, personally led everyone from the Qi family to the banquet. β
This is the palace of the King of Pi. The boudoir of the county lord of Shuoyun, and the lord of Shuoyun is also preparing for her major event for a while. But at such a tense moment, when the Lord of Shuoyun was supposed to focus on her salute wholeheartedly, he was shocked by a piece of news.
And what is this news?
Of course, it was the news that the three of Qi Pei, the king of Beiding, came to the palace of the king of Lili to participate in her feast.
"County Lord?"
And the eldest maid of the lord of Shuoyun looked at her stunned expression at this time, and asked with some confusion and worry, "What's wrong with you?" Although it is said that the prince of Beiding and the princess of Beiding are only guests, and they are a little surprised to come to the banquet in our palace in person, but it will not be a big deal, right? β
"No, you don't understand." But the county lord of Shuoyun still shook her head a little distractedly, but other than that, she didn't say anything more.
Regarding the fact that King Pi and Princess Liyun want to choose a marriage for her at today's banquet of the Lord of Shuoyun, of course, the Lord of Shuoyun himself has known for a long time. But in fact, not only the King of Thunderbolt, but even the Lord of Shuoyun himself knew that the current situation was not optimistic. And Emperor Zhou Hui finally allowed her father to be able to marry her independently, so her father and mother wanted to take advantage of Emperor Zhou Hui's failure to break the contract and point out that before marriage, they would choose a wishful husband for her, of course she understood best.
It is understandable that the fact that the lord of Shuoyun is willing to marry her in the future because of his identity as a royal prince and can only be idle at home and hang a fictitious position in the future, and how can a person with ambition and ideals in his heart be willing to marry her.
Although her father and mother would comfort her, saying that they would definitely be able to choose a wishful husband for her, the lord of Shuoyun County did not say anything, and did not want to worry her parents, but secretly worried.
The lord of Shuoyun County, Hui Zhilanxin, doesn't want his future husband to be a makeshift person. But the current situation is uncertain, if she is really facing the worst outcome, then maybe she can only find someone to make do with her life.
But just when the Lord of Shuoyun was extremely depressed in her heart, there was a news that shocked her, and a figure with a person broke into her mind.
For Qi Hong, in fact, the county lord of Shuoyun is the same as the other party, and all her impressions of him are only a few words that can be brought over. But it was a character she didn't know so much, for some reason, in the mind of the county lord of Shuoyun, a possibility of choosing was spreading to the blood of her whole body faster and faster, making her heartbeat involuntarily a little out of control.
"The second son of the Qi family in the Beiding Palace......"
"County Lord, what are you talking about?"
Lord Shuoyun muttered to herself in a very small voice, so that her eldest maid couldn't hear what she was saying clearly. Therefore, he asked the lord of Shuoyun County. But the lord of Shuoyun ignored her eldest maid and was still muttering to herself.
"Qi Hong, Qi Hong ......"
"County Lord?"
Lord Shuoyun has such an abnormal appearance. Her eldest maid was a little worried, and just when the eldest maid of the Shuoyun County Lord was about to approach her and listen to her muttering something in a distraction, the Shuoyun County Lord suddenly got up and called, "Prepare for the drive, I am going to find my father and mother." β
The big girl who was slammed into getting up by the lord of Shuoyun and fell down in fright. After hearing the words of the county lord of Shuoyun, he was surprised: "County lord, are you going to find the prince and the princess now?" β
"Yes. I'm going to see my father and mother now, and you should go and get ready...... Fast. "The lord of Shuoyun County said urgently.
"Yes." And seeing that the county lord of Shuoyun was so anxious, no matter how confused the big girl was, he didn't dare to say anything more. Instead, he immediately got up and headed out of the house. Prepare a soft sedan chair and let the lord of Shuoyun go to the place where the king and the princess are at this time.
Here, the lord of Shuoyun hurriedly went to find the king and the princess, not knowing what she wanted to say to them; But on the other side, in Qinghe Ju, Xu Youshan and his party had already returned to Xu Xi and Pei's side, and they had to sit down after their table. As for Qi Xuan, Xu Mingxi, and Qi Hong, of course, they returned to the Qi family in the Beiding Wangfu on the other side. But Zhai Yu. But he was still left on the side of the Xu family by Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng singing and harmonizing.
Therefore, now Zhai Yu is also sitting at the same table with Xu Youshan.
But alas. No matter what Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan said later, Xu Mingwen didn't fall into their full set again, but chose a position not far from Zhai Yu, but not close.
"What are you doing here, you are like this, where can you put the face of the eldest son of the family." Xu Yourong was very angry and accused Xu Ming.
And because Xu Mingwen chose a position a little distance away from Zhai Yu to sit down, of course Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan were sitting farther away from Zhai Yu, which made Xu Yourong, who wanted to be a "bridge" between Zhai Yu and Xu Mingwen, how could she not be angry?
But unlike Xu Yourong's anger that was about to burst into anger, Xu Ming's little face puffed up and said in a low voice: "I'm not the eldest son of Zhai who refused, how could I lose his face?" Besides, Sister Rong, the eldest son of Zhai never said that he wanted to sit with me at all, this kind of impolite words can only be what you said. β
"Unruly? I? β
At this moment, Xu Youshan seemed to be able to see the anger behind Xu Yourong, which was more than ten feet high, so she successfully and easily diverted Xu Yourong's attention before Xu Yourong's volcanic eruption would cause a huge disaster.
"Eldest sister, look, isn't that the sixth son of the Nie family?"
"Knock~~~"
Xu Yourong, who had already stood up, suddenly paused for a moment as if he was frozen, then directly turned around and grabbed Xu Youshan and asked, "Where is it, where is it?" β
"It's right there, big sister, haven't you seen it yet?" Xu Youshan said with a smile.
"Where...... Oh, oh, see. β
"Huh?"
Xu Youshan said that she saw Nie Suhyun, it was pure nonsense, she just wanted to divert Xu Yourong's attention. But who knew that even Xu Youshan's casual finger could actually make Xu Yourong find Nie Suhyun? This is really incredible, so Xu Youshan looked at Xu Yourong who had fixed her gaze in surprise, and then followed her frozen gaze, and it really didn't take long for her to find Nie Suhyun's figure.
The Nie family of the Zhenguo Mansion is, of course, also the guest of honor in the Liwang Mansion today. And today, Nie Jin, the Duke of Zhenguo, and the Duchess of Zhenguo also personally led the Nie family to the Liwang Mansion to go to the banquet of the lord of Shuoyun. But among the many people in the Nie family, there are two of them, and they are the most eye-catching. One of them is Nie Suhyun, there is no doubt about it.
Today's Nie Suhyun, as usual, has a handsome face and a cold temperament, and against the backdrop of his exquisite extremely light jade blue sprinkled with gold wispred bamboo dark stripes, it becomes more and more like a scorching peach blossom, and the beauty is a little unreal.
And Nie Suhyun is already so unstoppable, so even so, he can still divide half of the attention of others, who will it be?
Xu Yourong only paid attention to Nie Suhyun, but others were not like this, such as Xu Youshan. When she followed Xu Yourong's gaze, she really found Nie Suhyun, but it didn't take long for her to be snatched away by the person next to Nie Suhyun.
That person looked like he was only about twenty, and he should be the same age as Zhai Yu, but he was now very unusually embarrassed in the eyes of Xu Youshan, who was no longer a child of many families in the Divine Capital, and his face was so raw that Xu Youshan tried to rummage through the memories in his mind, but he still couldn't find a trace of relevant information about the person next to Nie Suhyun. Moreover, the reason why Xu Youshan, like most people, fixed her eyes on him is not just her face, although the main reason is not because his appearance is not inferior to Nie Suhyun; And it's not that he and Nie Suhyun both have a pair of identical and unparalleled peach blossom eyes. But what makes Xu Youshan embarrassed to say sorry is that this person's appearance is really good!!
But of course, having said that, in this divine capital, there are too many people with a world-like appearance, even if a person with the appearance of Nie Suhyun is in this divine capital, he does not have the absolute word. Thus it is possible to give such attention to this strange young man, even though the appearance occupies a large, large part; There are also a lot of reasons for the almost identical peach blossom eyes of him and Nie Suhyun, so that he also guessed his identity.
But the most important thing is that the young man's body, the terrifying battlefield auraβa killing aura, can be seen from him, like a battlefield like purgatory.
"Sister Wu, the one next to the sixth son of the Nie family is Nie Suli, the eldest son of the Nie family, right?" Xu Youshan asked Xu Mingwen.
Originally, Xu Youshan asked Xu Yourong beside her first, but Xu Yourong had almost looked at Nie Suhyun and was stunned, and completely ignored Xu Youshan...... Oh no, it's completely ignoring everyone else.
Therefore, after Xu Youshan greatly despised Xu Yourong in her heart, she had no choice but to look at Xu Yourong and ask the young man beside Nie Suhyun like Xu Mingwen, who had leaned over most of her body.
"Well, that's the eldest son of the Nie family, Nie Suli." Xu Mingwen responded.
"Sure enough."
The Zhenguo Gong Nie clan is a military family, and almost all of the children in the clan have joined Congrong in every generation, and almost all of them are descendants. Although the Nie family has not personally led the troops and guarded the border in recent dynasties, but has become prosperous and honored in the Shendu, they are the same as the Qi family of the Beiding Palace, but the sons and daughters of the clan have all grown up on horseback since they were children, riding and shooting martial arts, and they know everything.
And this is the Nie family, originally before the Zhai family in Huanchuan was not suspected by Emperor Zhou Hui, it was just gradually like the wealthy giant in the divine capital, the difference is getting smaller and smaller, and after the Zhai family retreated back to the ancestral land of Huanchuan overnight, he was appointed by Emperor Zhou Hui and took over the position of the head of the nine sides of the Zhai family and the general army of Liaodong. And it was also after the Nie family, the Duke of Zhenguo, accepted the position of the chief soldier of Liaodong and began to guard the border of Liaodong, no one expected that Nie Suli, the eldest son of the Nie family's generation, would actually run to the forefront of the battlefield.
"But Youshan, how did you tell that it was the eldest son of the Nie family? Is it because of those eyes? β
Nie Suli and Nie Suhyun are brothers of the same mother, both born to the Duchess of Zhenguo, and the peach blossom eyes of the two of them are almost identical, but they are not with the Duke of Zhenguo Nie Jin, but completely inherited from the Duchess of Zhenguo. Therefore, among the many children of the Nie family's generation, there are only two of them, who have eyes as beautiful as scorching peach blossoms, which makes people know at a glance that they have a great relationship, so Xu Mingwen asked.
"The peach blossom eyes of the eldest prince of the Nie family, which are almost exactly the same as those of the sixth prince of Nie, are also very eye-catching, but the killing aura of the eldest prince of Nie is even more impossible to ignore. In this way, he can only be alone. - The eldest son of the Nie family's generation, Nie Suli.
"Your little nose and small eyes are still sensitive, yes, this eldest son of the Nie family is worthy of being a person who conquers the battlefield, and his body is cold and strict, it is really too eye-catching in this god capital that pays attention to elegance."
Xu Mingwen is right, over the years, in the Shendu, they have greatly advocated an elegant and solemn atmosphere, just like the eldest prince Xie Jing, the second prince Xie Yan and the third prince Xie Wen, not to mention anything else, at least in front of everyone, it is really a race with polite and gentle qualities.
