252 Prosperous Chapter
In the middle of the moon, the emperor specially set up a dinner party in the Xiandu Palace. It was the first time for Li Weiyang to step into this newly built palace, and I heard that the emperor specially built it for Concubine Ge Li's birthday. The interior is luxuriously furnished and beautiful, like a paradise on earth. I saw beautiful palace lamps hanging everywhere, even the small corners were hung with famous calligraphy and paintings, and the palace maids who served back and forth were wearing gorgeous palace skirts, which looked golden and gorgeous, and were extremely extravagant.
Li Weiyang saw the layout in this palace in his eyes, and couldn't help but be very surprised, everyone said that the emperor was very fond of Concubine Ge Li, and now it seems that the rumors are true. It's just that how much of this favor is directed at Concubine Liniang herself, it's hard to say.
At this time, the important ministers and female dependents of the third rank in the court have already taken their seats, and everyone only heard the music and music playing in unison, and then saw the palace maids entering, and all kinds of delicacies and wines were brought up like flowing water.
Princess Ali whispered to Li Weiyang: "There have been two banquets in the palace in the past month, and the Yuexi royal family is really extravagant. ”
Li Weiyang smiled lightly, now this emperor likes to entertain guests in the palace very much. Although he has a moody temperament and is quite happy, who dares to give his opinion in public? Moreover, Yuexi is very rich, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the national strength is very strong, and the royal family can sing and dance day and night if they want, who can say anything.
This qiē looked in Princess Ali's eyes, but it made her even more surprised, even as a prince on the grassland, she had to worry about a lot of problems every day, especially in the barren winter, when the grass and trees did not grow, at this time they had to take a large number of cattle, sheep and herdsmen to move around to find fertile pasture. It was precisely because she saw the Maharaja who worked day and night that Princess Ali felt disapproving of Emperor Yuexi's extravagant and hedonistic behavior.
Mrs. Guo, who was not far away, looked solemn, her eyes did not fall on the song and dance, but she just lowered her head and looked at the glass cup in front of her, obviously because she was already accustomed to these scenes and was not interested.
Li Weiyang's gaze fell on the emperor's body, at this moment he drank several glasses of wine in a row, his eyes were very hazy, and his expression was also very calm, which was completely different from the fierce words he saw in the study last time. If he wasn't sure that it was indeed the Yuexi Emperor who wanted to kill him last time, Li Weiyang would still wonder if what happened that day was a dream. To this day, she feels very strange, according to this person's character, what he wants to do will definitely be successful, and now he is delaying his actions, is it really taking care of Yuan Lie or has other plans, or has he thought of some new ideas?
The song and dance were just right, but I heard the prince stand up and say to the emperor: "Father, when I visited Cangzhou this time, the local officials specially sent a beautiful woman and asked the sons to dedicate it to the emperor. ”
As soon as his words fell, the emperor's eyes fell on his face, as if he was very interested, and said, "Then offer it." ”
The local officials offered their beauty, not once or twice, if it was an ordinary appearance, there would be no such opportunity, everyone was very energetic when they heard it, and they stretched their necks to see the appearance of this beauty. Only Concubine Ge Li, who had been by the emperor's side, changed her face slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.
The prince smiled slightly, clapped his hands lightly, and saw a woman in silver veil standing there at the entrance of the main hall, although she was only standing quietly, but she was graceful. She walked forward, step by step, and walked around each other, as if fairy music was with her. Before reaching the steps, she lowered herself and knelt on the ground with a smooth movement, her delicate dress spreading out around her. Li Weiyang couldn't see clearly from too far away just now, but at this moment she knelt down again, and at a glance, she only saw her green silk like ink, and the skin exposed on her neck was as white as snow, and she couldn't help but be curious about this woman's appearance.
The emperor smiled slightly, "Raise your head." ”
Hearing this, the woman raised her head and revealed a beautiful face, which was really vulgar, looking forward to life, and there was a hint of peerless independence.
Seeing those beautiful eyes like autumn water, the emperor's eyes suddenly burst into cold light, and in an instant, Li Weiyang felt a murderous force enveloping him. Such a momentum can only be ...... if the emperor scolds Fang Xuan like this and kills decisively For a while, even the crown prince was a little panicked, and he wondered very much in his heart, what was going on, didn't his father always like Concubine Gree's beautiful appearance? He had long vaguely understood that his father was thinking about that person back then...... So these days, he has done everything possible to find a woman who is five points similar to Princess Qixia back then, why did his father show such a look when he saw her?
Empress Pei frowned slightly, and her gaze fell coldly on the woman's body.
For a long time, no one in the hall dared to speak, and the emperor's eyes showed a trace of killing intent, but his face said coldly: "Sure enough, it's a beauty, I don't know what skills I have?" ”
The crown prince smiled and said: "Father, she is good at dancing, how about letting her dance for her father?" ”
The emperor sat lazily, staring at the prince with a smile in his eyes, but he did not make a sound for a while. The prince suddenly became nervous, a trace of strong uneasiness passed through his heart, and he couldn't help but turn his head and glared at Concubine Lu fiercely, and Concubine Lu immediately lowered her head. This idea was given to the prince by her, and the beautiful woman in front of her was found by all means to find it, but it did not receive the expected effect.
Li Weiyang glanced at Yuan Lie opposite, only to see that his gaze also fell on the woman, but his expression was very indifferent. A faint smile appeared in Li Weiyang's eyes, the prince is a little confused now, otherwise he would not have made such a trick - then again, it is dangerous, but if he can please the emperor, it is also a useful move.
Just when the crown prince was about to kneel down and take the initiative to plead guilty, the emperor suddenly laughed: "Good! Since she is good at singing and dancing, then dance a song, and if she doesn't dance well, she will be punished! ”
The woman let out a sigh, flicked her sleeves slightly, and began to dance, at this time there was not a trace of sound in the hall, and Concubine Grace looked at the woman with a complicated expression, and a trace of mockery flashed in her eyes. The prince is right, this woman is indeed very unique, her whirling dance posture seems to contain a natural rhythm, and the bell on her feet rings gently, replacing the musical instrument to make a continuous and pleasant sound, listening to everyone's ears as if it has become the melody of dance music. She danced indulgently, even if she was not a person who knew how to sing and dance, she could feel the affection in the silent dance. When the dance was over, she lowered her hands, her wide sleeves drooped, and Ying Ying bowed down, covering the glittering water in her eyes.
Her dancing skills are not very good, but Li Weiyang has a moving power, she glanced at the emperor's expression with understanding, but saw that his face was also in a trance, and her heart suddenly understood, I see-presumably such a dance, Princess Qixia must have danced back then.
The prince has really worked hard this time, not only because of his similar appearance, but also because of his unparalleled charm, it seems that he has made up his mind to let this woman win a place next to the emperor. Li Weiyang's gaze immediately fell on Concubine Ge Li, who had an ugly face on the side, but he smiled lightly, raised his wine glass, and took a light sip.
At this time, the emperor's eyes became even more hazy, and he waved his hand and ordered the woman, "You come forward." ”
The woman Yingying walked up, the emperor took her in his arms, took a closer look at her face, suppressed the sneer in his eyes, but laughed loudly: "Okay, the prince is really filial piety, reward!" As he spoke, the eunuch came out and rewarded the prince with a begonia jade ruyi.
The crown prince was a little relieved, he was very nervous in today's scene, and he did take a big risk, this woman should be sacrificed by others so that it is not easy to implicate himself, but he thought about it or came by himself - maybe it was a stupid trick to go to the emperor in front of others to send such a woman, but for him it had other intentions. This woman will come in handy in the future!
His smile was still on his face, but he heard the emperor say to the eunuch next to him: "Go, pass Lu Zhen over." ”
Concubine Lu's heart jumped, this woman was found by Tuo Lu Jin, could it be that the emperor could not reward her. But how did His Majesty know that this woman was related to the Lu family? But she soon thought that the emperor was unpredictable, and it was difficult to distinguish between joy and anger, and there were probably few things in this world that were not under his control. Fortunately, this woman is also innocent, and she can't find the slightest flaw, and the Lu family has made meritorious contributions, so she should only be rewarded and not punished. Thinking of this, her heart settled down a little.
The crown princess stared at Concubine Lu with extreme resentment, hating her to the extreme, but she remained silent, covering up the cold light in her eyes with a glass of wine.
Lu Zhen was also in the palace today, and when he heard the emperor's call, he hurriedly got up and walked out, respectfully obeying his orders.
The emperor took the initiative to pick up a glass of wine, ordered the eunuch to hand it to Lu Jin, and then smiled: "Give a glass of wine." ”
Lu Zhen hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty Xie Xià gives wine." Then his face was full of joy and he drank it all decisively.
The emperor smiled even more kindly and said: "You did a good job on your errand in Cangzhou this time, and you specially brought back this beauty for the prince to dedicate to me, and I want to reward you well." ”
Concubine Lu's heart jumped, the emperor really knew everything!
At this time, it was already past the time, and many people sitting in the back row were a little drowsy, and now when they heard that the emperor was going to reward Lu Jin, they were excited, and they cheered up and listened to what was going on.
Princess Ali quietly pulled Li Weiyang's sleeve and said, "Why did Your Majesty reward Lu Jin?" ”
Li Weiyang smiled and said: "Because His Majesty had ordered him to go to Cangzhou to build a shrine of merit before, his errand was done well, and he specially brought back a beautiful woman from Cangzhou, and presented it to His Majesty with the hand of the prince, so of course His Majesty would give him some rewards." As soon as Li Weiyang's words were finished, Princess Ali nodded as if she didn't understand.
But I heard the emperor say again: "I heard that you have not yet married a wife, and there is no one to serve in the family, so how can you be a family, I am worried for you, and I want to find a good wife for you in Dadu." Today's great time is to marry you in front of the ministers! ”
Lu Jin was overjoyed when he heard that the emperor had personally given him a marriage, and the rest of the Lu family also stood up together, and immediately bowed to the ground to thank the emperor, Lu Jin smiled and said: "Thank you for the reward, Lu Jin has no merit and no virtue, and it is really fortunate to have the grace of His Majesty." ”
Everyone present couldn't help but show envy on their faces, and said in their hearts that Lu Zhen failed to marry Princess Shouchun last time, and was ridiculed by others, and the Lu family had to invite him to go to Cangzhou on an errand again, and he came back with a meritorious service, and he was about to be promoted, and at this time, he could even get a marriage from His Majesty. You must know that all the daughters of the officials present are all from famous families, one in a hundred, and any one of them is like a beautiful flower, and it is His Majesty who personally gave marriage, such a good thing is really rare, it seems that Lu Zhen is going to be lucky!
Empress Pei smiled quietly beside her, but her eyes were silent, not knowing what she was thinking.
The emperor paused for a moment and continued: "The monarch and the minister are one, you can't owe anyone, as long as you do things well, I will naturally reward you for your meritorious deeds." As he spoke, the emperor whispered to the eunuchs beside him. The eunuch looked stunned, but he looked very surprised, and then knelt down on the ground and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." Then he withdrew.
Everyone couldn't help but feel a little strange when they saw this scene, but they all waited quietly, they knew that the person who had been given the emperor's marriage was about to appear.
Lu Zhen stood in the hall, his face was really full of spring breeze, and his mood was agitated, he was really lucky this time, and the anger of not being able to marry Princess Shouchun was also gone. He already had a pair of eyes as clear as morning dew on his face, and he was born very beautiful, and at this moment, because of His Majesty's marriage, he was even more joyful and radiant. He thought to himself that since His Majesty did not explain who he was marrying, could it be because of Pei Hui's anger, Princess Shouchun, who closed the palace and couldn't come out? This is very likely, it must be His Majesty who wants to make up for the mistake of last time!
Li Weiyang saw it in her eyes, but she smiled coldly, she didn't know why, she always felt that the emperor was not playing any good ideas.
At this moment, everyone suddenly heard the sound of vocal music, and a eunuch led a group of people into the hall through the side door next to it. Walking at the forefront are four palace maids, each holding a red lantern in their hands, and the candlelight in the cage reflects the whole hall red, which is really joyful. Immediately, two palace maids entered the palace gate, and finally walked in a woman who came in style, only covered her face with a fan, and everyone couldn't see her look, but could only vaguely see her wearing a dignified and atmospheric dress, and her head was full of gold and silver glazed hairpins, which could be seen to be worth a lot. Everyone couldn't help but be surprised, and they began to guess which family the woman in front of them was the noble daughter of which family, or was it really Princess Shouchun?
The prince also thought it was Shouchun, so he smiled and said: "Lu Jin, this time His Majesty has given marriage, you still haven't gone to see your bride!" ”
Lu Zhen couldn't help laughing, couldn't wait to step forward, woke up in time, turned around and thanked the emperor and empress again for her grace, and then turned around and walked towards the bride. He suppressed his heart and bowed to the bride twice with joy, and said, "Please see the true face of the young lady." He said it three times in a row, and the fan slowly unfolded.
Everyone held their breath and stared, wanting to see what the young lady who was married by the emperor looked like, and when the face behind the fan was revealed, everyone was stunned. After the fan, it was not a beautiful young lady, but a goosebump-haired woman who was sixty or seventy years old.
Lu Zhen stood on the spot, almost stunned. He didn't expect that the emperor would give him an old woman who was nearly seventy years old, and at this age, it was more than enough to be his grandmother!
The emperor's voice laughed the most heartily, and he said loudly: "Lu Aiqing, why don't you go and support your new lady, what are you doing in a daze!" ”
Empress Pei's face did not change at all, and she had already recognized that this so-called new lady was the emperor's nurse Kang Shi back then. This Kang used to be the emperor's nurse for half a month, she was widowed at the age of forty, and she has been in the palace for the elderly, and now the emperor gave her to Lu Jin inexplicably, which is really a big news in the world! She glanced at the emperor with an inexplicable expression.
The emperor smiled slightly, turned his head to her, and said, "Empress, do you think my will is very wise?" ”
Empress Pei's gaze turned lightly on his face, and she already said in a calm tone: "Your Majesty will not be surprised if she makes any decision, not to mention that this is a very compatible marriage." As she spoke, her eyes were already on the Prince.
The prince was suddenly startled, and immediately said, "Lu Jin, you haven't gone over to support your new lady!" ”
Li Weiyang couldn't help laughing, the emperor was really bad, he was able to do such a thing, asking a black-haired young man to marry an old woman, it was simply unimaginable!
Lu Zhen went from the ecstasy just now to the ice cave, he looked at the goosebumpy old woman in front of him, and he wanted to die on the threshold. To be honest, just now everyone thought that the emperor was taking this opportunity to give Princess Na Shouchun back to Lu Jin, but they never expected that such a scene would appear. It was not a charming princess who was given to marry, let alone the famous ladies of Zhilan Yushu, but an old woman with goosebumps.
Everyone looked at this scene in disbelief, but Yuan Lie raised his eyebrows, and his expression seemed to be smiling, obviously seeing through the emperor's thoughts.
Lu Jin was stunned and didn't move. Concubine Lu was anxious, in this situation at this moment, if Lu Jin refused to marry this woman, then he would be disobeying the order.
Sure enough, the emperor's face sank slightly, and he said coldly to the prince: "I have worked hard to arrange, but he seems to be unwilling to accept the order, is it because he dislikes the beauty I gave him is not good enough?" The Emperor said this, and there was already a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
The prince hurriedly knelt down and said, "Father, Lu Zhen was stupid with joy for a while, and when his son went up to remind him, he would definitely wake up." With that, he had already gotten up and walked over to Lu Jin, grabbed his arm, and said in a low voice: "You still don't accept the order, do you want to resist the order and disobey it?!" ”
Lu Jin's teeth were trembling, and he pointed at the old woman and said, "Your Highness, look...... She...... She ......"
The prince said coldly: "I have seen it, everyone has seen it, this is the will of the Son of Heaven, and it must be accepted." ”
Lu Zhen suppressed the huge disappointment in his heart, and his face was full of tears.
The prince said with a cold gaze: "Smile, and then lead your bride to thank you together!" ”
Lu Zhen gritted his teeth, and finally smiled on his face again, he walked over quickly and helped the old woman to the emperor: "Weichen thank the emperor." ”
The emperor smiled slightly: "This is my nurse Kang's, married to Lu Aiqing today, she should also have some reputation, I canonized Kang's as Mrs. Pinguo, from now on you have to treat her well, husband and wife are harmonious, and love Baitou." ”
One of these parties is already white-headed, Li Weiyang looked at this farce with a smile, and said in his heart that Lu Zhen married such an old woman as his wife, which seemed to be a marriage given by His Majesty, but in fact, after he married home, he had to treat this woman as a god to support. And she looked at this woman's expression, maybe she has been pampered for a long time, and she has some arrogant expressions, I am afraid that this Cui family will not have a good life in the future.
Princess Ali looked at this scene in amazement and said, "It is really strange that your emperor can do such a thing, a young man of twenty years old, actually marries an old woman of sixty or seventy. It's terrible, it's a wonder in the world! ”
Li Weiyang said calmly: "The so-called Son of Heaven, since the order is forbidden, it is true, if Lu Jin dares to resist and disobey, it is a sin to be beheaded, he is the younger brother of the prince's concubine, and he is the elite cultivated by the Lu family with great difficulty, he naturally knows what choice he should make." ”
Princess Ali couldn't help but shake her head, she knew that Li Weiyang in front of her knew everything in Jingzhong, but at this moment, seeing that she didn't show surprise at such a strange thing, she couldn't help but sigh secretly: "I always can't understand you, what is going on...... It's incredible. ”
A hint of ridicule flashed in Li Weiyang's expression, the more unbelievable things are, the more likely they are to happen in this palace, I am afraid that the emperor's actions today are for the crown prince, for Concubine Lu, and for Empress Pei. However, she vaguely felt that it seemed that the emperor's purpose was more than that.
At this time, I heard the emperor smile and hug the beauty beside him: "I heard that General Zhendong's daughter has returned from the mountain, can I be at the banquet today?" ”
Wang Qiong, the general of Zhendong mentioned by the emperor, immediately stood up and bowed down and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the little girl is also here today." ”
Li Weiyang couldn't help but look sideways at Miss Wang suddenly mentioned by the emperor, and Mrs. Guo looked puzzled at her, so she said in a low voice: "This young lady's name is Zijin, she is the youngest daughter of the Wang family, and she has been studying with a great master in the past, and rarely goes down the mountain. Over the years, I have only heard that she came down twice, but they are all helping her father, General Zhendong, outsiders do not know the details, only know that this woman is familiar with astronomy and geography, and knows all the sons of the hundred schools, and those plans and plots are all clear, although she is a woman, but she is known as a virtuous name, but even I have not seen her with my own eyes. ”
When Li Weiyang heard this, he couldn't help but smile slightly: "So what is this Miss Wang going down the mountain for this time?" ”
Mrs. Guo fell into deep thought, and she didn't know why the major families in the capital had recently recalled the elite children in various places one after another, and it seemed that there was quite a change, in her opinion, this qiē was inseparable from the current political situation.
The emperor's eyes searched the hall, and he said, "Oh, which one is it?" Come out and see you. ”
At this time, I saw a woman walking out of the female dependents, born with snow-colored skin, slender eyes, rare upward movement of the tips of the eyes, a pair of eyebrows hidden into the crow blue sideburns, raising her wrists and gazing at the eyes, the style is sloppy, and the stunning posture is not aggressive, but it is ashamed of oneself and does not dare to look at it. Coming slowly, the flowers that forced a hall to retreat were full of flowers, and only she shone brightly.
The emperor said kindly: "You have studied art for many years, but I don't know what you have gained?" ”
The prince bowed down respectfully, his movements were full of brilliance, and he was beautiful: "Your Majesty, the courtiers are shallow in their studies, and they dare not be ugly." ”
At the banquet, there were already people staring at her complexion, and only her shadow was left in front of her, and she forgot about drinking and talking and laughing.
The emperor smiled and said: "It's okay, I've heard for a long time that the daughters of the Wang family are talented, but I don't know what's special, don't take out those poems and songs, is there anything fresh that can be used for fun?" ”
The emperor said this, but saw the prince smile slightly: "The courtiers are just rough and rhythmic, composing a song to break the formation, playing it with musical instruments, accompanied by singing and dancing, I believe Your Majesty will like it." ”
The Emperor was quite interested: "Breaking the formation is happy--it sounds a little interesting." ”
The prince's eyes were shattered: "Please allow your majesty, if there is instrumental music and 7749 people to practice the military formation, the scene will be even better." ”
The emperor thought about it, but it was very novel: "I am ready, you can let people go down and prepare, I will wait and see." ”
Wang Zijin smiled and immediately went down to prepare, and soon the candles in the hall were extinguished.
Li Weiyang stared at it, the curling shadow had disappeared, and as soon as she left, she also took away the souls of many people. I only heard someone take the lead, and the sound of the flute floated from far and near, like a bard playing in the open river and sea. Soon, there are different musical instruments to join in, listen carefully, pipa, qinse, gonghou are all mixed together, showing a prosperous scene of bells ringing and eating, eighteen dancers dressed in red entered the empty square outside the hall, dancing at the same time, as if the flames were also brought together, and then sheng, xiao, zheng, chime, chime also joined one after another, making the performance of the whole band more magnificent.
Suddenly, the drums sounded, seven seven forty-nine men appeared outside the hall, one by one like stone statues staring there motionless, the original sound of all the musical instruments that emitted a harmonious breath suddenly stopped, and when it broke out again, the atmosphere had completely changed, emitting the killing atmosphere of the golden iron horse, with the sound of the pipa and the drum becoming more and more urgent, the music was like the cry of the Wuxia ape, and also like a ghost crying, in front of everyone, the original peaceful and prosperous atmosphere has been completely gone, obviously intended to show the rebel invasion, destroyed the original prosperous and peaceful scene.
When Li Weiyang heard this, he could already see that this Miss Wang actually contained military affairs in the music, using the pipa to simulate the sound of horns and horses' hooves, and using drums and chimes to depict the mutual fighting and chaotic fighting on the battlefield, those dancers were the people of the peaceful and prosperous era, and the forty-nine men who rushed in were arrogant soldiers, and the whole breaking the formation song showed the tense atmosphere and magnificent scene of the battlefield.
I heard only a shout, and the rhythm of the music immediately changed, and the sound of the pipa changed its tone, like a suona blowing, reminiscent of the scene of the army going out, and all the dancers suddenly tore off the red clothes on their bodies, revealing the white short robes inside, and rushed into the enemy.
Li Weiyang watched intently, as if she saw a battle of conquest, and she couldn't help but have a complicated complexion. And all the generals who had been on the battlefield in the main hall were also very attentive, obviously aroused a lot of thoughts by this song. The ordinary ladies and ladies were a novelty, and although they couldn't understand it, they also knew that the music was cleverly arranged and magnificent, and it was undoubtedly a good show.
Li Weiyang watched this song from beginning to end, the left side of the dance team is round, the right side is square, the front imitates the chariot, and the team is placed behind, and the formation is spread out like an eagle, stretching out its wings, like two forward teams, making a battle formation. In the past, the dancers mainly stabbed the movements, and the limbs posed in various formations with the music, and the sound vibrated for hundreds of miles, not only with a strong atmosphere of battle, but also with a kind of deterrence, which made the audience awe-inspiring.
But if that's all there is, Li Weiyang doesn't think it's outstanding, it's just ordinary celebration music. The most important thing is that this prince has included a variety of different formations in such a performance, such as the Eight Formations, the Star Scattering Array, the Mandarin Duck Array, the One-Word Long Snake Array, the Erlong Water Array, the Heaven and Earth Sancai Array, the Four Doors Doudi Array, the Five Tigers and Sheep Array, the Liuding Liujia Array, the Seven-Star Beidou Array, the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array, the Nine-Character Serial Array, and the Ten Ambush Arrays. These ten strange formations, each formation is full of profound changes, and they have all been cracked by her through the movements of the dancers and the mercy of the formations.
Li Weiyang's eyes once again fell on Wang Zijin, but he was also impressed. Such a woman can be regarded as a genius!
There were seven drum songs, twelve times each, and it took more than an hour. At the end, the forty-nine people left the stage in turn, symbolizing the success of the formation, and the music resumed its original tone, with a chorus of bells and chimes, the sound changed from high to low, and the surrounding gradually returned to calm, and the dancers circled back to the ground, prostrate and bowed, as if returning to the original tranquility.
Before the emperor could speak, some generals couldn't hold back and said, "Okay! This dance is about fighting, and the evolution of the formation is very exquisite, Miss Wang's talent is unique in the world! ”
The prince was dressed in brocade and was independent, and saluted the emperor and said: "Your Majesty's martial arts strategy is known to the world." The courtiers just used this song to show His Majesty's generosity and heroism, shocking the world, praying for the peace of the country and the people, and the people living and working in peace and contentment. ”
The emperor stood up and said loudly: "When I heard this song, I was very happy, Miss Wang's ingenuity is really rare!" In the future, this piece will have to be carefully pondered, and now there are only forty-nine dancers, and the spirit is not grand enough, but it can be increased to four hundred and ninety! Well, such a talent must be rewarded! Come and give the prince a jasper Guanyin, a hundred taels of gold! ”
As soon as the emperor said this, everyone immediately threw a look of admiration to the prince, but the person concerned was calm, her eyebrows were like distant mountains and green daisies, and her lips were full of smiles, as if the reward she received had nothing to do with her.
She just knelt down slightly, thanked the emperor again for his grace, and then returned to the female dependents. I don't know why, if a person who stood up so well didn't want others to notice her, no one would have found out that she had been sitting there just now. If the Emperor hadn't called her name, no one would have noticed that she had been sitting there.
The emperor smiled and said loudly: "The daughter of the Wang family, have you ever promised to marry others?" ”
Everyone's hearts jumped, thinking that this emperor wouldn't mess with the mandarin duck score again, just now that Lu Jin married an old woman inexplicably, could it be said that the emperor still wants to give the prince to a widower? Tyrannical Creatures! This majesty is really crazy!
Hearing this, Zhendong General Wang Qiong quickly bowed down and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the little girl really never promised to marry. ”
The emperor laughed, and there was a hint of a smile in his eyes: "Such a beautiful woman is exactly the match for King Xu." ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Weiyang's eyes suddenly turned cold, and his heart really came, it turned out that the emperor was waiting here! From the beginning of the marriage to Lu Jin, it was not only to deter Empress Pei and the crown prince, but most importantly, to make Yuan Lie understand that no one in this world can disobey his will, he can lift you to the sky, or he can trample you to the ground!
Now, if Yuan Lie is interested, he should immediately stand up and thank His Majesty for his grace. But Yuan Yeol just sat there calmly, without a trace of fluctuation in his expression.
And Li Weiyang noticed that the prince always had a calm expression on his face, but his unique eyes gently swept over Yuan Lie, but he was not the slightest shy, just observed and evaluated, and then lowered his eyes. Li Weiyang suppressed the slightest unhappiness in her heart, and looked straight at Yuan Lie, she wanted to know - what choice he would make at this moment!
The emperor looked at Yuan Lie, Empress Pei also looked at Yuan Lie, and everyone present looked at King Xu's body, and for a long time, there was a dead silence in the entire hall.
Everyone in the Guo family was shocked, the emperor was going to marry the daughter of the Wang family for King Xu, so what should Jia'er do? Mrs. Guo was nervous, and couldn't help but turn her head away, looking at Li Weiyang worriedly, but saw her with a cold expression, sitting there with a calm appearance, as if she was not affected by foreign objects in the slightest. Mrs. Guo was even more uneasy in her heart, she knew Jia'er's character, the more turbulent the waves in her heart, the more casual she was on the surface, and no one could guess the slightest trace of this daughter's heart. When she thought of this, she couldn't help but be even more worried.
If anyone wants to rejoice in this marriage, it is Jingwang Yuanying. His eyes fell on Yuan Lie, and gradually showed a hint of mockery, what about your love for Guo Jia? Can you still disobey your father's will? This marriage of the Yuexi Emperor, no one in the world dares to refuse! If you refuse today, your head will fall to the ground.
Empress Pei smiled faintly, it seems that this Miss Wang is the wife chosen by the emperor for Yuan Lie. Her gaze fell on the prince's face, and a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes.
The Wang family and the Guo family are equally prominent, with Wang Gong, who is both a Taishi and a general, Wang Yu, a scholar and a scholar, Wang Jun, a scholar of Huagai Palace, and Wang Qiong, a general of Zhendong, all of whom are shrewd and capable, and never participate in party struggles, and have always been valued by the royal family. What's more, Empress Pei once wanted the prince to marry the eldest daughter of the Wang family, but was politely declined by the Wang family. Now it is the turn of the youngest daughter of the Wang family, and the emperor actually wants to marry her to King Xu Yuanlie. Good! That's great! Pei Hou's hands under his long sleeves were clenched tightly, and her nails almost pinched her palms, but in the eyes of everyone, her expression was still calm, and she even smiled faintly, as if she was happy to see it.
However, everyone was waiting for King Won Yeol to stand up and give thanks, but he sat there as if he hadn't heard it at all.
The emperor was impatient, and said in a loud voice: "King Xu, what do you think of Miss Wang?" ”
Yuan Lie stood up in the face of all the attention, his face sank, and his eyebrows were full of evil, which was terrifying: "Your Majesty, the daughter of the Wang family is good, but she is not a good match for me!" ”
As soon as this sentence was said, the whole hall was shocked, and everyone's face was full of great indignation, this King Xu was too bold to dare to refuse the emperor's marriage in public! There was an eventful imperial history to come up to participate, but Yuan Lie's cold eyes swept over, and everyone shrank their necks. is obviously such a handsome man, but he is aggressive, and no one dares to say a word in front of him.
Li Weiyang smiled slightly, if he didn't act recklessly, he wouldn't be Yuan Lie.
At this moment, the emperor collapsed almost instantly, his eyes were about to split, and he glared at Yuan Lie and said, "Are you going to resist the decree and disobey it!" ”
Yuan Lie raised his eyebrows and said with a slight smile: "When did Your Majesty issue a decree that Miss Wang would be married to me?" You just said that Miss Wang can match King Xu - isn't that what you mean by asking me? Am I mistaken? Alas, this is very difficult, I have already refused, it is really difficult to recover. ”
The emperor was angry, he was calling for wind and rain in the court, omnipotent, but every time he came to this son's face, he couldn't help but be deflated, and now everyone heard that he had the intention of giving marriage, but he deliberately pretended not to understand, this kind of evil animal, it is better to kill it on the spot!
The anger in his heart was even hotter, but the more angry he became, the more he couldn't help it. This son was given out by him himself, and he carefully cultivated it, but after he raised it, he was a wolf cub, and he only thought about Li Weiyang in his heart, and he never had his father in his eyes! The last time he wanted to kill the other party in front of him, he wanted to give him a warning, but now he didn't care at all, and even dared to refuse to marry in public!
This prince is meticulous and martial, generous and graceful, and has an extraordinary temperament, not the kind of woman who is obsessed with the struggle in the inner house, but also the best virtuous helper, and will definitely help him in the future, not to mention the power of the Wang family behind him! Didn't he understand his hard work at all? What are the benefits of marrying Li Weiyang, the Guo family is too mediocre to protect themselves, Li Weiyang is a scheming and resentful person, marrying her, Yuan Lie will only have countless troubles.
But this prince is completely different, when General Zhendong went to Jizhou to quell the rebellion, his wife was taken hostage by the rebels, and the prince, who was only thirteen years old at the time, escaped secretly, all the way to help the victims, but also recruited a team of several hundred people, and contacted the army everywhere, with its superhuman courage and talent, in more than three months to collect the local bandits, formed a considerable team, the final number reached more than 10,000 people, in the body of a woman, this is simply a miracle. She led this group of troops, all the way to capture Jizhou, and rescued her mother. It should be a very ridiculous thing for a woman to be the boss, not to mention that she is so young that she can't serve the public at all, but her team is strictly disciplined and must be ordered, and everyone respects her. After investigation, the emperor found that this woman's military intuition and insight were geniuses, and even General Zhendong's opponents had suffered many defeats at her hands.
She is weak on the surface, but in fact she is a woman who is both civil and military. It can be said that General Zhendong relies on her to defeat a strong enemy.
In the emperor's opinion, Yuan Lie is not a strong enough dragon now, but this prince is a dignified and dignified jade phoenix who roars proudly in the sky. Today, all the major families want to come to get a piece of the pie, if the Wang family and King Xu are linked, they will be able to hold up a piece of the sky and sit on the throne for him.
Such a woman, how can Li Weiyang be compared, if Yuan Lie is smart, he should know what choice to make.
Seeing Yuan Lie like this, everyone knew that he had made up his mind to refuse the marriage, and they couldn't help but look at that Miss Wang, but saw that she was still neither humble nor arrogant, and her expression was indifferent, as if she didn't care at all.
The emperor looked at Yuan Lie, and saw that he still didn't care at all, and couldn't help but push the beautiful woman in his arms off the throne, the woman exclaimed, fell down the steps, and suddenly broke the corner of her forehead, and immediately bled like a stream, she covered her head, but she didn't dare to speak, and burst into tears.
When everyone saw this scene, they couldn't help but be surprised, it seemed that His Majesty was going to punish King Xu this time. The prince sneered, okay, King Xu, you are so bold, I want to see if my father will spare you this time!
Who knew that the next moment, the emperor laughed out loud beyond everyone's expectations, and his voice was very loud: "That's it, what kind of girl do you like, and if you ask me for marriage in the future, I will be generous to you, and I can be regarded as worthy of the imperial brother!" He said this, but he mentioned the older generation of King Xu, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that His Majesty decided to tolerate Yuan Lie in the face of the old King Xu.
Yuan Lie smiled faintly, but he was noncommittal.
The emperor didn't care on his face, but he was furious in his heart, he wanted to go up and give this kid a kick, but in front of everyone, he had to pretend to be calm and generous, and his head hurt.
Zhendong General Wang Qiong looked at her daughter Zijin very worriedly, and said in her heart that she was rejected for marriage in public, and I don't know if she can bear such a shameful humiliation. Wang Yan couldn't help but clench his fists, and was almost about to stand up to find trouble with Yuan Lie, but he was suddenly held by Wang Guang beside him.
Wang Guang said in a low voice: "Wang Yan, don't be impulsive!" ”
Wang Yan was very annoyed: "What's wrong with my sister, where is she not worthy of King Xu?" He even wanted to refuse the marriage in public, which made my sister so embarrassed! ”
Wang Guang is a person with a gentle temperament, and he said in a low voice: "No matter what, don't be angry here, otherwise you will only let others see our Wang family's jokes." "King Xu has been chasing Guo Jia, the daughter of the Guo family, and this is already a well-known thing. But they categorically didn't expect that Yuan Lie would have such courage to refuse the murderous emperor, this is probably the first time since the founding of the country!
No one dared to insist in front of the emperor, but Yuan Lie, who actually rejected Wang Zijin with such merciless words. rejected their talented and beautiful sisters, who were the best in the world. In Wang Yan's opinion, his sister is much better than that Guo Jia. Don't talk about appearance, not to mention those women's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, her sister is both civil and military, knows astronomy and geography, and understands military affairs, she is a real genius, they are not as good as these men, what is Yuan Lie dissatisfied with! even said that his sister is not his good match, it's ridiculous, so what kind of thing is Guo Jia, why is it compared to Zijin! The more Wang Yan thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and with a bang, he actually crushed the wine glass in his hand.
Wang Guang hurriedly reminded him not to go too far, but he sighed in his heart, the word love is the most difficult to understand, this Xu Wang Yuanlie has always liked the daughter of the Guo family, and his love is infatuated, in fact, he can also understand. Thinking of this, Wang Guang couldn't help but look at Guo Jia, but saw that the other party's midnight-like eyes fell on Wang Yuanlie's body at this moment, just smiling quietly on his face, not knowing what he was thinking. Wang Guang sighed slightly, and suddenly remembered in his mind that he had seen Li Weiyang and Pei Bi playing blind chess behind the Tzu Chi Temple. It is conceivable that this daughter of the Guo family is by no means mediocre, but what are the odds against her sister......
Li Weiyang noticed that a gaze fell on her, she turned her head, and happened to meet Wang Zijin's gaze, but saw a complicated expression in those beautiful eyes. Li Weiyang smiled at her slightly, calm and unadulterated, Wang Zijin smiled back, but his eyes lit up like fire, and then quickly turned his gaze away.
Li Weiyang lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes covered the different colors in his eyes, this Miss Wang was rejected in public, I don't know what she felt in her heart...... It's just that she won't let the people who belong to her Li Weiyang! Even if you are the emperor or a god, no one can snatch the person she wants from her!
