Chapter 031: Birthday Banquet (3)

Long Zeye himself frowned in confusion. I didn't do anything just now, I just raised my hand to touch the bead. Even at the moment when the bead glowed, I didn't feel anything unusual. The bead didn't change in any way, except for it slowly warmed up a little later.

In a cloud of doubt, Long Zeye withdrew his hand in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, since the beads are bright, then you are Leling's destined person. Le Ling is willing to accompany His Majesty and serve His Majesty with all his heart, and I hope that His Majesty will not dislike Le Ling. Princess Leling stepped forward with a sincere face at the moment when Long Zeye withdrew her hand.

Many people were still in the shock just now, and at this moment, Princess Leling's words surprised many people. I didn't expect that in the end, Princess Leling would ask the emperor so directly. Could it be that Princess Leling's favorite and relatives from the beginning were the emperor?

For such a result, Xiahou Yan only smiled faintly, and there was no big surprise. Le Ling gave up Long Zening, and the one who chose must be Long Zeye.

According to Le Ling's cleverness, it is impossible for her to guess that her and her relatives must be selected between these two people. Otherwise, no matter who else you choose, you may end up harming others and yourself, and you will have nothing.

Leling has always been a smart person, although he hasn't found it out yet, but Xiahou Yan knows that Leling has always cared about people in his heart. Although she looks weak, she has been using her own methods to seek what she wants. So she won't be so stupid as to let herself go to a dead end, and she can't even guarantee herself.

The Empress Dowager was really shocked by what happened just now, and at this moment, Leling's expression was no longer as cold and indifferent as at the beginning, but with a little more love and inquiry. She believes that the person who can be blessed by the Buddha must be the person who has the Buddha's fate.

Although Leling's affinity is a big problem, she is a woman after all. When the envoy of the Eastern Merchants returned to China, she was left alone. At that time, she was a woman. If you want to live well in the second half of your life, you still have to rely on Yuan Chu. Looking at her, she's also smart. It's impossible not to know this.

Now that the candidate has come out, Leling has also returned to her seat and sat quietly, and the rest is not her business. It's just intentional or not, Le Ling will still look at the place where the Lingsui envoy is sitting. She really wanted to know, was the feeling just her own delusion, or was it really him who came?

"Hahaha, His Majesty the Emperor. Now that the royal sister has a choice, I don't know what His Majesty wants? At this time, Xiahou Yan stood up and said towards Long Zeye.

Although this result is a little different from the original plan, it does not matter. Now that Le Ling has chosen Long Zeye, it may be more beneficial to himself.

From the very beginning, Long Zeye was prepared for such an ending. Returning to the dragon chair and sitting down, he smiled at Xiahou Yan and said, "Princess Leling is beautiful and moving, gentle and generous, and is willing to come to my Yuanchu and relatives, so naturally I will not win the kindness of Dongshang." ”

Long Zeye said this. can be regarded as agreeing to this marriage. Although many of the ministers felt that such a result was inappropriate, they naturally did not dare to say anything more because they knew the emperor's temper. In addition, Ai Gaoyi didn't make any moves, so they didn't have to be blind to these little characters. so as not to provoke a fuss.

"Ling'er is the favorite princess of her father and mother, and she is loved by the people of the whole country in Dongshang. I Dongshang is willing to Linzhou, Yizhou, Jiazhou three cities, gold 10,000 taels, cloth 10,000 horses, war horses Qianji as a princess to marry, I don't know why Yuan Chu married my Dongshang most noble Princess Leling? Xiahou Yan asked with a smile in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the envoys from all over the country.

At this time, there has been a lot of discussion below. Among the three cities mentioned by Prince Yan just now, Jiazhou alone is already worth a lot of money. Although none of these three castles were fortresses of the Eastern Sho Kingdom. But they are all cities bordering Yuan Chu. Whether in terms of economy or population, it can be said that there are three good cities.

Leave aside the rest of the dowry that Prince Yan just said. The marriage of these three cities alone can be said to be unprecedented. Whether the princesses of various countries are married or married, the dowry has a certain amount.

Even if a princess who is close to her can have a city as a dowry, in the history of this continent, there has never been a princess who has had three cities to marry. Generally, those princesses who have a city to marry are because they already have their own fiefs before they are married, and only those fiefs are married out.

But since ancient times, the princess's fief has never been more than one city. The Dongshang Kingdom used three cities to marry Princess Leling, which shows the status of Princess Leling in the heart of the Dongshang Emperor.

And in this way, Yuan Chu, who was also forced, had to marry with a considerable dowry. It can be said that Xiahou Yan is forcing Long Zeye to marry Le Ling as the queen in this way.

Xiahou Yan has always believed in the principle that only by giving can you get. In his opinion, it is worth exchanging three cities for the position of the queen of Yuan Chu! And those three cities, as Leling's dowry, do not belong to Yuan Chu in the final analysis. As long as Le Ling's heart is not towards Yuan Chu for a day, then these things do not belong to Yuan Chu for a day.

Long Zeye naturally understood this truth, and couldn't help but scold Xiahou Yan for being treacherous in his heart, while pretending to have a friendly smile on his face.

And at this moment, the most nervous and angry person is Ador. Just now, when the emperor agreed to make peace, she was already angry enough. But under Ai Gaoyi's eyes, she still endured it. I thought in my heart that even if I entered the harem, I might not be my opponent. After all, behind him is the entire Ai clan to support him. And what if she is a princess, as long as the people of Dongshang Kingdom return to China, what ability can she have as a princess in a foreign country to fight with herself!

Not long after Ador comforted herself like this, the current situation appeared. That slut actually dared to covet the position of the queen, it was simply looking for death!

"Prince Yan agreed to marry three cities so happily, is this what the lord of Dongshang means? Or is it Prince Yan's own initiative" The string in Ai Duoer's heart finally broke, and jealousy completely swallowed her reason.

"Bold!"

"Don't stop yet!"

But before Ai Duoer's words were finished, she was already stared at by several pairs of cold eyes. Long Zeye and Ai Gaoyi scolded angrily one after another.

"Your Majesty, Weichen believes that Ai Guifei is just confused for a while, and has absolutely no other meaning, and asks the emperor to forgive her sins. Weichen goddaughter has no way, and she is voluntarily punished! Ai Gaoyi immediately looked panicked, hurriedly ran out and knelt in the center of the hall, and pleaded guilty to Long Zeye.

Long Zeye's eyes were full of undisguised anger, and he kept staring at Ai Duo'er's face. Under such pressure, Ador was frightened and returned to her senses a lot. immediately knelt down and begged for mercy in horror: "Your Majesty, the concubine is unintentional. The concubine is also for the sake of my Yuan Chu! ”

"Come, Ai Guifei's words and deeds are wrong, she collided with Prince Yan, immediately pulled down the cane and punished twenty, and escorted it to the Huaqing Palace to be strictly guarded, without my order, no one is allowed to enter the Huaqing Palace." Long Zeye completely ignored Ai Duo'er and Ai Gaoyi's pleas, and ordered coldly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the concubine has confessed her guilt, please ask the emperor to be gracious! Spare the concubine! The concubine didn't dare anymore! "Ador was held by the guards, begging for mercy.

"Your Majesty! The concubine is an unintentional move! Looking at Ai Duoer, who was about to be pulled down, Ai Gaoyi still couldn't help but plead. This daughter was carefully cultivated by him, and her role has not yet been played, how can she be folded here like this.

The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and confinement are not a big deal on weekdays, but if Duo'er is locked up at this juncture, his plan will be affected.

"Lord Ai, you have to go down and taste the board too!" Long Zeye looked at Ai Gaoyi coldly and snorted, this is definitely not the time to deal with Ai Gaoyi.

When Ai Gaoyi heard this, he knew that the emperor was showing him affection now, so he didn't dare to say anything, stood up tremblingly, and retreated to his position.

"Prince Yan forgives me. I have decided to marry Princess Leling as my Empress Yuanchu, I don't know what Prince Yan thinks, my Yuanchu is sincere enough? After the trouble just now, Long Zeye had to make concessions for the time being, and promised to take the position of Empress Leling.

"Hahaha, Yuan Chu is so sincere, this palace will definitely report to his father truthfully. Leling can have this good fate, presumably the father and mother will be relieved! Xiahou Yan picked up the wine glass and toasted to Long Zeye with a smile.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to Princess Leling!" Seeing the emperor pick up the cup, for a while, all the ministers picked up the cup in front of them and said in unison.

"Hehe, His Majesty Emperor Yuanchu, since the matter on Prince Yan's side has been decided, then this palace will represent our emperor and send a birthday gift to the Empress Dowager of Yuanchu!" At this time, Hua Yuebai finally stood up, arched her hand towards Long Zeye, and said with a smile.

As soon as the words fell, he clapped his hands, and immediately several people walked in from outside the hall carrying several boxes covered with red cloths.

For a while, the people in the main hall were attracted by these chests covered with red cloth, and they all guessed what kind of treasures would be under the red silk.

"Oh, I don't know what birthday gift Ling Sui has prepared? I'm curious! Long Zeye put down his wine glass, looked at Hua Yuebai and asked.

"Hehe, Hui Majesty, it's not a treasure, but it's definitely my Ling Sui's heart." Hua Yuebai always had an elegant smile on her face, but she didn't seem to be in a hurry to reveal the mystery at all.

Looking at the curious looks of many people above the main hall, Hua Yuebai turned around and said: "Lingsui has always been famous for its food, and this birthday gift is also specially prepared by my Lingsui for the birthday banquet of the Empress Dowager." (To be continued)
