Chapter Seventy-Six: Fainting
"But I don't know who the four princes of Sangyue are asking for?" The one who asked was Changli Prime Minister Gong Shiqing.
"Of course, it's for the prince to marry himself! This prince has a letter from the lord of Sangyue here. After that, he asked people to present the stamped documents, and glanced sideways at Xi Ruoya, who was sitting next to the piano stand, with a strong sense of admiration in her confident and flamboyant eyes. has been admiring it for a long time, and it is even more shocking when I see it today, he is here for her.
"Didn't this letter from the Lord of Sangyue say that he married the prince? Why did you become the Four Princes again? "The one with two thick black eyebrows is Changli Taiwei Zhou Qin, the father of the crown princess.
"That's right, this Sang Yue Kingdom is not sincere at all, just a prince wants to marry the 'Yuanxi County Lord'......!"
"This thing will definitely not work, not to mention that the emperor will not agree, even Xi Guogong will definitely not agree......"
"And this 'Yuanxi County Lord' and His Royal Highness King Chen are in love, who can snatch people from King Chen......"
“……”
There were different opinions in the hall, and the emperor and queen were all waiting and seeing, without saying a word; Xi Guogong's eyes sank slightly, as if he was thinking about something; And Xi Ruoya's stiff smile hung on her face, and her eyes showed contempt and ridicule; The most puzzling thing is that Situ Yu, who has always been in love with Xi Ruoya, is still indifferent at the moment, and his eyelids are slightly drooping, so that people can't see their emotions.
"Why not, although the status of the crown prince is more noble than that of this prince, but as we all know, my crown prince brother has been absent from the palace for many years and has never paid attention to the government affairs, do you want to let the 'Yuanxi County Lord' marry and stay alone in the empty house?" An Qiluo was not angry because of these bad comments, but felt that these people were pedantic and stupid, and his eyes showed disdain, "What's more, the 'Yuanxi County Lord' is not really a member of the royal family, and this prince is also of royal blood after all, and his identity is enough to match it!" ”
When the people saw him so frivolous, their hearts were even more dissatisfied, and their words became sharper.
Emperor Shuntian saw that everyone was almost done, so he slowly spoke: "The marriage between the two countries is a good thing, but although the 'Yuanxi County Lord' is not a royal bloodline, she has grown up in the palace since she was a child, and she is deeply loved by me, not to mention that she is the only concubine of the Guogong Mansion, and her identity is unusual and comparable, I want to hear what Xi Guogong means?" ”
Xi Bochang was about to open his mouth to reply, but he heard a soft female voice on the steps: "Your Majesty! Since you are so distressed Ruoya, it is better to listen to her own meaning in this marriage event! At a critical time, Empress Xiao finally opened her mouth.
"How can this work? The marriage event is the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, not to mention the marriage between the two countries, how can she make her own opinions! Xi Bochang retorted in a deep voice. Although the person married by Sang Yue Kingdom was changed from the crown prince to the fourth prince, he had to re-evaluate the pros and cons of this, but no matter what, it was better than marrying Situ Yu.
"Xi Guogong is reasonable, how can this matter be decided by a woman who has not left the cabinet, wouldn't it be a joke to say it!" Prime Minister Gong nodded in agreement.
"Then according to Xi Guogong's meaning......?" Emperor Shuntian raised his eyebrows and asked.
"The minister thinks that the four princes are not unreasonable, although the prince's identity is more noble, but a perennial tour of the mountains and rivers, do not ask the government how to bear the name of the prince, Ruoya since childhood studious, this kind of not doing business, not enterprising, how can she match her. I think these four princes are very good, and in time, they will be able to make a difference! Xi Bochang raised his eyes slightly, facing the seductive eyes of Empress Xiao, but there was a hint of sneer in those eyes.
"Father, son-in-law also agree with Xi Guogong's decision, these four princes are young and talented, and they are very compatible with Ruoya's sister, and what is even more rare is that he likes Ruoya's sister in his heart, and he will definitely not treat her badly in the future!" The prince also added in a timely manner, as long as Situ Yu is not allowed to get his wish, he will be willing to match whoever he marries.
"Your Majesty, who in this capital doesn't know that the county lord and the king of Chen are in love with each other, the love is as deep as the sea, there are several princesses of royal age, why do you have to be the 'county lord of Yuanxi'?" Seeing that Situ Yu always looked like he didn't care about himself, the people who secretly supported him couldn't help but open his mouth first.
"Yes, Your Majesty! The ancients said that a gentleman has the beauty of an adult! The four princes of Sang Yue can choose another couple! ”
"This prince is only here to marry the 'Lord of Yuanxi', and others don't look at it yet!" Angelo said proudly.
"Since it is a marriage, I should be the master of His Majesty! Could it be that the princess of my dignified Changli Kingdom still has to be left to your choice! ”
“……”
There was another debate in the hall, this court is not a court, and the wedding banquet is not like a wedding banquet, but like a vegetable market that has exploded.
Xi Ruoya sat quietly aside, as if what everyone was talking about had nothing to do with her, she cast her eyes on the handsome and extraordinary face, but just met the deep and affectionate gaze, she couldn't help but tremble, the hesitation in her eyes immediately turned into firmness, she pursed her lips, her heart was horizontal, and she stood up, but she didn't know that she had just taken two steps, and her head was dizzy, and she fell to the side.
"County Lord!" The palace maid beside her exclaimed in surprise and caught her fallen body.
Suddenly, all the arguments came to an abrupt end, and the hall became silent.
"Quick! Xuan Taiyi! King Situ Yu, who had been indifferent just now, ordered loudly, and everyone could hear the anxiety in his voice.
Situ Yu motioned to several palace maids to step forward, put Xi Ruoya flat on the cushioned recliner, and then asked everyone to retreat to make space, he stood next to the recliner and was about to stumble down to shake Xi Ruoya's hand, but was quietly squeezed away by Xi Bochang.
Situ Yu was not annoyed, he staggered half of his body, and looked at the people on the recliner with a worried expression, and everyone immediately felt that the rumors were true, and the indifferent and arrogant King Chen was really different from the 'Yuanxi County Lord'.
The imperial doctor trotted all the way, and soon came to the main hall, taking Xi Ruoya's pulse through a thin light veil. Everyone was a little overwhelmed by this sudden situation, and they all stared at the imperial doctor's face, wondering why the county lord suddenly fainted.
Half a pillar of incense kung fu passed, the imperial doctor still held on to the pulse, his face changed, cold sweat was dripping on his forehead, his lips were getting whiter and whiter, and everyone was puzzled.
"Imperial Doctor Zhang, what's wrong with the county lord?" Emperor Shuntian ran out of patience and asked.
As soon as Imperial Physician Zhang heard the emperor ask, his body trembled suddenly, and his face instantly lost blood, he withdrew his hand to probe the pulse, and kept kowtowing to Emperor Shuntian and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is only a shallow scholar, and he really can't see what disease the county lord is suffering from!" "I was so trembling that I couldn't even speak.
Emperor Shuntian frowned, and said unhappily: "It's so useless, you can't even see a disease!" Quickly find Doctor Li, go quickly! ”
"Wait!" A deep voice stopped the palace man's footsteps, "There happens to be an entourage with extremely high medical skills by the side of the envoy, so it is better to let him take a look for the county lord, and it will save the time of delaying the diagnosis of the disease!" "This person is the envoy of Xiyouguo, Chaha, who is tall, but he has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, a shallow mustache, and a steady appearance.
When everyone heard it, they all felt that he was polite, and after obtaining the consent of Emperor Shuntian, the entourage took Xi Ruoya's pulse, and Imperial Doctor Zhang, who was standing on the side, was like ashes at the moment, and it was too late to say anything.
