"Now the matter of Yangxin County is put on hold for the time being. We're probably going to have to spend some time in Kyoto. After thinking for a long time, Jian Ning said lightly towards Ruan Zijin and Xi'er.

"Miss, aren't we going back to Yangxin County? There is still more than a month to go before the Spring New Year," Xi'er was obviously a little sad. After all, this Kyoto is too strange to them, and there are really no happy memories of these days in Kyoto.

"This time, the food garden was sealed by the emperor's decree, and if we want to get it back again, we must stay in Kyoto and find an opportunity. Besides, if we return to Yangxin County like this, it is estimated that life will not be easy. Jian Ning comforted Xi'er and said.

Although they are now free, there is no obstacle to going back. But now Yangxin County is a mess for them, and it is really not a wise decision to go back now. And Zijin also said just now that Yin Jian may still stay in Kyoto.

Jian Ning wouldn't believe that a person like Yin Jian would stay in Kyoto to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and he must have some ulterior conspiracy.

"I have no opinion, as long as I am with you, it will be the same wherever I spend the Spring Year." Ruan Zijin didn't have much feeling about this. Except for Tianhua Mountain, it is the same everywhere.

"Since you plan to stay here for a long time, there is no need to stay at the guest house all the time. We don't lack money now, and when my brother comes back, let's rent a yard and live in it first." Jian Ning saw that there was no big problem, so she said with a smile.

Time is in a hurry, since the last God of Food Competition, Yuan Chu once again ushered in a great event, the 70th birthday of the Empress Dowager.

According to Jian Ning's identity now, it is definitely not enough to attend a banquet in the palace, but I also have a general understanding of the news of this birthday banquet.

The birthday feast is at its climax. Whether it was the ministers of Yuan Chu or the envoys from other countries, they had already drunk three times, and many of them were slightly drunk.

The singing and dancing in the center of the main hall continued. The sound of silk and bamboo has not stopped.

Under Jiu'er's treatment, the Empress Dowager obviously recovered very well. The face is already very ruddy, and there is no sickness at all. Even on this rare opportunity, I drank a little wine.

At this moment, Xiahou Yan suddenly put down the cup, got up and made a friendly salute to Long Zeye, who was on the throne, and said with a smile under everyone's gaze: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Yuanchu, presumably Your Majesty has received the letter from the emperor of our country. Our country is willing to marry Qin and Jin with Yuan Chu, with the most honorable Princess Leling and Yuan Chu of my royal family, I don't know what the emperor wants? ”

Knowing that it would come sooner or later, when he heard that this matter was officially taken out for discussion, Le Ling couldn't help but clench his hands. Similarly, the body suddenly tensed, and Long Zening. And Long Zeye seemed much calmer, with almost no changes.

Long Zeye put down his wine glass, looked at Xiahou Yan and said with a smile: "Dongshang Kingdom is willing to marry Qin and Jin with my Yuan Chu, and I will naturally not refuse." I just don't know. Does the emperor of your country want Princess Leling and my own Yuanchu royal nobles, royal children? ”

The people below were shocked when they heard the news of this harmony. There are also those that are expected, and there are those who have begun to analyze the shapes, which can be said to have their own variety.

And Hua Yuebai, the second prince of Lingsui who was sitting on a jade step with Xiahou Yan, didn't see any affection, but just drank wine by himself, as if this qiē had nothing to do with him.

And some of the courtiers of Ling Sui who came with Hua Yuebai this time were not so calm. If Dongshang and Yuan Chu succeeded in making peace with each other, it would be equivalent to a successful alliance. Then the position of Ling Sui, who is among the Three Kingdoms, but has a slight loss in strength, is very embarrassing, and even disadvantageous.

"My emperor loves Princess Leling. Therefore, this and the choice of relatives want to be chosen by Princess Leling herself. According to the previous agreement with Xiahou Leling, Xiahou Yan did not interfere with her and her relatives.

Leling also relaxed slightly at this time. At least there is still room for choice, and it is not a completely passive situation.

Such an answer. It was obviously beyond the expectations of Long Zeye and most of the people present. Generally speaking, a princess's relatives will not take into account the feelings of the princess at all.

Since the lord of Dongshang can grant Princess Leling such grace, it can be seen that the rumors are true, and the lord of the country loves Princess Leling like a treasure, and his favor is not lost to the prince at all.

"In that case, I don't force the princess, let the princess choose herself!" Long Zeye suddenly couldn't figure out Xiahou Yan's purpose, this way of doing things was not like Xiahou Yan's style at all.

Although he said that this was the meaning of the lord of the Dongshang Kingdom, anyone who knew something about Xiahou Yan or the interior of the Dongshang Kingdom knew that the real person in charge of the Dongshang Kingdom was no longer the emperor, but the current prince.

Long Zeye was really curious, who would this Princess Leling choose to make peace with him.

"Whoever is in this palace, the princess can think carefully." The more Long Zeye thought about it, the more interested he became, and then he made a gesture of invitation to Princess Leling and said with a smile.

The Empress Dowager watched from the side, and didn't say anything, just watched quietly. This matter was already mentioned to him by the emperor yesterday. Although she is reluctant to marry the princess of this other country into the royal family, but out of interests and the current shape, the empress dowager will not refuse to make peace this time.

But compared to the Empress Dowager, Ai Duoer, who was on the other side of Long Zeye, was not so calm. From the moment she heard that she wanted to kiss, her face changed significantly. Even though she was trying her best to suppress and cover up, the tightly clenched hands and the long nails that were almost embedded in the flesh betrayed her, showing her anger and jealousy.

She thinks that she is the first beauty in Yuanchu, but in front of this Princess Leling, she also has to feel a great threat. After all, she is already twenty years old, and this princess is obviously only sixteen years old, and this kind of youth is no match for her in any way.

And in this princess, there is always an air of independence and detachment. It's definitely incomparable to those vulgar fans in the harem now.

Compared with them, Prince Xuan, who has been sitting next to Prince Xuan, seems to be much more objective. is completely from the standpoint of an audience, purely appreciating the beauty of this princess!

Even under the gaze of so many eyes, Le Ling did not become flustered and nervous at all. With the support of Feng Zi, she slowly got up, moved the lotus step lightly, and walked gracefully to the center of the hall. He bowed slightly to Long Zeye, and said with a light smile: "Emperor Xie Yuanchu is considerate. ”

Even though Le Ling said it with a smile, there was still a cold alienation in her voice. But even such a cold voice, listening to most people's ears, is like the natural sound of a yellow warbler out of the valley, and even people dare not blaspheme!

"Please, princess!" Long Zeye is more scrutinizing this princess, after all, there are too many unusual things in this princess.

Le Ling nodded slightly, then really turned around and looked at everyone very carefully.

Some of the Wang Sun nobles present were extremely nervous at this time, and their heartbeats suddenly accelerated. If she can be chosen by Princess Leling, if nothing else, just saying that Princess Leling's beauty is enough to be ecstatic and enviable.

The coveted gazes of these people made Le Ling very disdainful, and even felt extremely disgusting. But Le Ling still had a smile on her face, and she still looked at everyone very carefully.

In the end, her gaze stayed on Long Zening's body. I have to say that on top of this hall, Long Zening is one of the people who can make Le Ling look at it.

When Le Ling's eyes fell on him, Long Zening nodded to Le Ling with a smile out of politeness. Princess Leling also replied slightly, obviously the atmosphere was very good.

At this moment, almost everyone thought that the person chosen by Princess Leling would be His Royal Highness King Xiang. Sure enough, in the eyes of everyone, Princess Leling slowly walked back to the position in front of the hall, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty the Emperor, after careful consideration by Leling, Leling also has a general result in her heart, but Leling also hopes that His Majesty can grant Leling a condition." ”

"Oh, I don't know what other conditions the princess has, and let's hear about it." Long Zeye didn't seem to be in a hurry, and asked very cheerfully.

Immediately, Princess Leling beckoned, and immediately a maid came up with a tray.

Le Ling took off the red chips on the tray with one hand, and said with a smile: "This bead was once given to Le Ling by a monk who has attained Taoism, and Le Ling wants to ask a few more sons to touch this bead." ”

"What's the point of that?" This time, it was the Empress Dowager who was the first to open her mouth. The Empress Dowager is a person who believes in Buddhism and worships Buddha all the year round, so she is very interested in this kind of Buddhist things given by high monks.

"The monk once said that the one who can touch it and make it bright is the person who is destined by Leling." Princess Leling explained to the Queen Mother.

"Oh! How could there be such a miraculous thing? The Empress Dowager looked surprised and couldn't help asking.

Le Ling didn't reply again, but smiled faintly.

"Then I wonder who the princess wants to invite?" Long Zeye looked at the bead, which was not much bigger than the Night Pearl, and asked.

Le Ling raised his hand and pointed to several sons, including King Xiang.

Except for King Xiang, the rest were naturally very happy, and immediately came out with a smile on their faces, and bowed to the emperor. Immediately, he saluted Princess Leling with a posture that he thought he was a gentleman.

Although Leling was disgusted, he still politely returned the salute.

Then several people couldn't wait to step forward, and they all put their hands on the bead one by one, but the bead did not change at all. A few people who didn't give up even put their hands on it, but the result was the same.

In the end, only King Xiang was left, and everyone's eyes were focused on King Xiang. (To be continued) R580
