31. Chapter 31
Nangong Meng was also curious, this Xichen sat there all night, looking calm and detached, most of the time silent, only playing with the wine glass in his hand, even when Zi Ni was dancing, he only occasionally looked up, and there was no intoxication in the eyes of others at all, how could he make such a request?
In the past, the minister was fortunate to stand in the crowd to see the saint on the pilgrimage day of Dongliu Kingdom, and the respect and worship of the people of Dongliu Kingdom for the saint is still fresh in the memory of the minister. Now, although the Dongliu Kingdom has long ceased to exist, the minister thinks that its holy daughter should still be taken care of by the best people, instead of being displaced and wandering, and should not be reduced to the playthings of others. Although the minister cannot give the holy woman a rich and noble life, he will definitely be able to protect her throughout her life. Therefore, I implore the emperor to give the holy daughter Zini to Weichen. Xichen straightened his waist, word by word, sonorous and powerful.
"It turns out that Aiqing has seen the saint before, and she has long had feelings for the saint." Duanmu Qian's narrow peach blossom eyes shone with fine light, and he looked directly at Xi Chen, and Xi Chen did not shy away, looking at Duanmu Qian generously, waiting for his reply.
I see, Nangong Meng thought and looked at the Holy Maiden Zini. I saw that although Zini was still lowering her eyes at this time, the frequency of her long eyelashes fluttering was obviously much faster than before, and she must not be at peace in her heart. In fact, from the outside, these two are a perfect match. The same coldness, the same handsomeness, but I don't know whether Duanmuqian gives it or not? Lan Gongmeng secretly speculated in his heart.
"I am a golden mouth, and I can't go back on what I naturally say. But this saint is a person from Dongliu Kingdom, although now the country is no longer a country and has been exiled to my Nanlin, but she is our guest after all, and I can't give her as a gift to Aiqing at will, otherwise, it will be an insult to the saint. "He is worthy of being an emperor, and his words are so tactful and decent.
"However, since Aiqing has opened her mouth, I can't live up to Aiqing's heart. Since ancient times, my fair lady has been a gentleman. Since there is no shrine to house the Holy Maiden now, she will have to find a home after all. Let the saint decide for herself! Duanmu Qian is like a Ming Jun, "All of you here today are the pillars of my Nanlin, if the holy woman has a favorite, you can put it forward, and I have fulfilled your wish." ”
Duanmuqian's voice landed, and everyone naturally looked at the holy daughter Zini. Now, the choice was suddenly in the hands of the Holy Maiden Zini. The men's eyes were full of anticipation and enthusiasm. Only Xichen sat down slowly and did not look at Zini.
"Cunning fox!" Nangong Meng sighed in his heart, "The emperor is really cunning. Of course, those present here also include himself. For a weak woman who is precarious, what better choice than to cling to the big tree of the emperor? ”
In the gaze of everyone, the holy Maiden Zini stood up, walked to the center of the main hall with broken steps, she gave a deep bow to Duanmu Qian, turned to look around at everyone, and cast her eyes on Duanmu Qian again, "On the day when the Dongliu Kingdom was broken, when the temple burned down, there would be no saints in this Lankun Continent, only the people's daughter Zini. Thanks to His Royal Highness's concern, Zi Ni decided to follow General Xichen for the rest of her life. ”
"Accurate!" Duanmu Qian raised his hand, and Xichen and Zini thanked him at the same time.
At the end of the banquet, looking at the pair of people who left hand in hand, Lan Gongmeng was full of envy.
