Chapter 345: Auspicious Omen
Between Xiao Jinxuan and Bai Liu, because of each other's grievances and grievances, although they are both smiling, they seem to others to be reminiscing.
But in fact, between the two of them, the tense atmosphere was about to spark, but after all, this was the inner courtyard of the imperial city.
So after the music of the palace banquet sounded, the two daughters immediately glanced at each other quite fearfully, and then they both returned to their positions.
But Xiao Jinxuan had seen Bai Liu's vicious side with her own eyes, and somehow in her heart, she suddenly became a little uneasy inexplicably.
And there is a very strong feeling that tells her that if Bai Liu's trouble is not removed, it will definitely become her future trouble.
And just when Xiao Jinxuan was a little uneasy, she suddenly only felt that Xiangping next to her pushed her.
Seeing Xiao Jinxuan looking at himself blankly, Xiangping rarely saw the other party so distracted, so he immediately whispered in a hurry:
"Jinxuan, you're not feeling well. The father of Shicai mentioned the matter of peace again, and asked me to go over and have a drink with Prince Xi to celebrate the friendship between the two countries, Jinxuan, what should I do now. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan hurriedly suppressed the uneasiness in her heart caused by Bai Liu.
Immediately, she looked up and looked around, seeing that everyone was really looking at Xiangping, she hurriedly lowered her voice and said;
"It's okay, I'll get up with you, Xiangping, as long as you look natural, I will naturally deal with the next things."
Xiangping, who had absolute trust in Xiao Jinxuan, didn't want to drink this glass of wine at all, but immediately stood up with a smile.
And Xiao Jinxuan also stood up behind the other party, and clenched the small hand stove that she had been holding in her hand a little tighter.
Because the princesses were sitting relatively close to each other, and when passing by Princess Qingxiang, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but look at each other twice, and then suddenly said:
"I look at Princess Qingxiang, why does it seem to be a little sad on such a festive day, is it because I miss Concubine Hui."
Since Concubine Hui was beaten into the cold palace, Qingxiang, a princess who lost her mother, has plummeted in terms of usage and treatment.
Even the palace people around her now dare to say two annoying sarcastic words in front of her.
And knew that all this was done by Xiao Jinxuan.
Now seeing that the other party dared to mock himself with this matter, Qingxiang immediately stood up uncontrollably, and even shouted regardless of the occasion.
But almost she was together, and before she could say half a sentence, she suddenly saw Xiao Jinxuan show an extremely surprised look, and then deliberately raised her voice and said:
"Princess Qingxiang is not joking with me, Your Majesty has issued an order to call Princess Xiangping and Qin, how can you dream that you have become a princess and Qin, and there are countless swans dancing around you, this dream can't be true, the princess must not say it again, otherwise it will make people talk about it."
When Xiao Jinxuan said this, her voice was deliberately amplified, so almost half of the imperial relatives and military officials in the palace could hear it clearly.
And Qingxiang, who was looking at this, looked at Xiao Jinxuan in amazement, and couldn't understand why the other party suddenly said this.
But just when Qingxiang was about to open her mouth to deny it, but because her lip was injured not long ago, she couldn't speak now.
But because the explanation was a little slower, a sudden and strange scene completely interrupted what she wanted to say.
And everyone in the hall watched with their own eyes, and from outside the Jinhua Palace, a large group of white swans suddenly rushed in.
And after these swans circled and danced around the hall, they all flew towards Qingxiang's location in an instant, scrambling to be the first.
There are no less than 100 white swans, dancing around Qingxiang, which is really surprising and surprising to see.
And in their hearts, everyone couldn't help but think of Xiao Jinxuan's words.
After all, the scene in front of him can already be regarded as a spectacle, and this too abnormal thing has always been considered by people to be an omen given by God.
And Xiao Jinxuan, who had already left Qingxiang far away, hid to the side and watched all this quietly, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook up a chuckle.
Since she promised Xiangping that she would help her avoid kissing, she had naturally thought of a solution.
Thinking that when she first came to the Jingshi Marshal's Mansion, the old man who pretended to be a ghost and used the floating needle on the water surface almost caused her to be regarded as an ominous nemesis and was driven out of the mansion directly.
Later, with the help of Zhou Xianrui, Xiao Jinxuan not only figured out the truth of this magical scene at that time, but also got an ancient book dedicated to recording occult arts.
And now this scene of the swan dancing is just a method in that book.
As long as the incense is taken and burned with the bark of the Ye tree, the resulting smell will attract many swans.
Shi Cai was held by Xiao Jinxuan all the time from Yanqing Palace, and the small hand stove in the palm of her hand was actually put into these things by her in advance.
Just before getting up, Xiao Jinxuan took out the prepared small fire fold from her body and threw it into the copper hand furnace.
And the reason why he deliberately used words to squeeze Qingxiang was just to take advantage of the other party's excitement to make it convenient for Xiao Jinxuan to quietly throw the small hand stove under the other party's table.
And when she deliberately finished the dream, the smell of smoke in the hand stove also wafted out.
The swans that Zhou Xianyu had asked for in advance swooped directly after smelling the fragrance and competed to dance.
There was only one hand stove with ashes left inside, and even if it was discovered afterwards, no one would put it on the swans.
Seeing that everyone was pointing at Qingxiang and discussing, Xiao Jinxuan immediately took a very vague look at the military officials who came to the banquet.
When her eyes met Guo Yixiang, who was sitting among the crowds, Xiao Jinxuan nodded gently, and the latter also showed a clear expression.
Immediately after seeing Guo Yi retract his gaze, he immediately stood up, and crossed the crowd, came to the center of the main hall, and bowed down to Emperor Ming.
And looking at Guo Yi's expression, he was almost overjoyed, and he also said quite excitedly:
"An auspicious omen, this is really an auspicious omen! The emperor seems that the friendship between my Da Zhou and Da Liang will inevitably last forever. This swan dance is a hint from God. Because there are clouds in the book, this swan is the most loyal bird, and if one of the males and females dies first, then the one who is left alive will also die on hunger strike and go with his partner. ”
Having said this, Guo Yi pointed to Qingxiang's side, and then continued conclusively:
"Now this swan, which symbolizes the love of husband and wife, dances around Princess Qingxiang, which shows that God is telling us that only this princess and her relatives are the most ideal people. After all, Princess Shicai herself also talked to the lord of Zhaoyang County, saying that she dreamed that she was in place of the eighth princess and her relatives. Such auspicious photos, coupled with the princess's own dreams, can show that Weichen's words are absolutely not wrong, so I also ask the emperor to change Princess Qingxiang to go to Daliang and relatives for the sake of the eternal covenant between our two countries. ”
Hearing this, while looking at the unbelievable scene in front of him, Emperor Ming was secretly surprised in his heart, and at the same time, he also looked at Huang Fuche with an inquiring voice.
"The scene of the swan dance of the prince of the west, you have also seen it with your own eyes, it stands to reason that such an auspicious photo, I should indeed call Qingxiang and Qin, but the crown prince of your country seems to be only interested in Xiangping, because who to send and pro, I also want to respect the meaning of your country."
coughed slightly, and when he heard Emperor Ming's question, Huang Fuche only smiled lightly, but did not reply immediately.
And his eyes were in the direction of Xiao Jinxuan, and he looked over first.
Huangfu Che is recognized as the smartest person in Daliang, so although he was secretly surprised by this scene of the swan group dancing, he instinctively still noticed that all this should be Xiao Jinxuan's handiwork.
Immediately smiled in his heart, since Huangfu Che had promised Xiao Jinxuan that he would help in Xiangping, then even if he guessed something, he would naturally not say anything.
After retracting his gaze, Huang Fuche stood up and immediately said to Emperor Ming:
"The swan dance is just as the lord said, this is an auspicious omen, the princess and the parents are for the friendship between the two countries to perpetuate, since there are more suitable candidates, the prince feels that it is indeed feasible to replace and choose relatives."
Hearing this, Qingxiang was about to cry immediately, but now she has a wound on her lips, and she can't open her mouth to speak, and these swans will bump into her from time to time.
So Qingxiang only cared about exclaiming, but he couldn't even say anything to refuse.
In the end, she was frightened and frightened, and after a swan flew and hit her face, Qingxiang immediately fainted.
Now that Concubine Hui has been beaten into the cold palace, Qingxiang has lost the protection of this mother, so naturally no one will intercede for her.
And seeing that Qingxiang was soon helped to leave, and the matter of harmony was also settled.
Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help lowering her eyes slightly, hiding the chill in her eyes that couldn't be dissolved.
In fact, when he went to another country with his relatives, although he was married to a crown prince, who was willing to leave his homeland and never see his relatives for the rest of his life.
Xiao Jinxuan wanted to help Xiangping avoid harmony, but this was the candidate for the other party, but she didn't make up her mind who to choose.
After all, Xiao Jinxuan is indeed extremely decisive in dealing with hostile people, but she can't do anything to persecute innocent people in order to achieve her goals.
Therefore, knowing that harmony is the daughter of all royal families, everyone is afraid of something that cannot be avoided.
How could Xiao Jinxuan find someone to be a scapegoat in order to help Xiangping.
But Qingxiang is different, Xiangping fell into madness and was incurable for the rest of his life, in the final analysis, it was all because of the other party.
Now Concubine Hui has entered the cold palace, and for Qingxiang, the direct culprit, how could Xiao Jinxuan let her go.
Therefore, instead of Xiangping and Qin, in Xiao Jinxuan's view, this can be regarded as a punishment and atonement for Qingxiang.
And the matter of Daliang and his relatives is now completely over, and Emperor Ming, who is also very satisfied with this result, immediately stood up with great joy.
"I am very happy to be able to marry with the Great Liang Kingdom today. As the saying goes, good things come in pairs, and now Qingxiang's marriage has been decided, but I still have to give the marriage to the Seventh Prince in person tonight, and when I choose an auspicious day, it is time to arrange the marriage for him. ”
