Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Birthday Banquet (2)
Liu Qingrang was so coincidental, as soon as he picked up a cup of hot tea, he heard King Yongning boasting at him, and he didn't have time to think deeply......
Is this him? In Jianxing, he didn't find anything serious......
Could it be that in the eyes of King Yongning, he is so great? Outstanding merit and loss, deeply loved by the people!
It turned out that he had always been blinded by Ah Can's heart because of him, so how did he look at the prince, he must have blamed him......
Liu Qingrang secretly made up his mind, after the birthday banquet of Princess Yongxi, he would return to Jianxing early tomorrow morning, and he could not live up to the expectations of the prince and the love of the people of Jianxing no matter what!
But I didn't know that a certain prince was still thinking about letting the No. 1 secret guard in the northwest learn from the champion Lang who had no kung fu.
Ye Xingcan looked at Liu Qingrang's reaction, that is, he knew that this stupid champion must have thought that Ye Yao was for his face, so he got up angrily and made a generous statement, this misunderstanding is not small, maybe he is ready to repay the favor.
Xie Chengyan naturally would not be as naΓ―ve as Liu Qingrang, and he didn't care about the achievements of the so-called Jianxing Shaomu, he just felt that the word "princess" was too harsh and had to be changed.
He looked at Ye Xingcan with a smile, but his mouth was, "That Chengyan has the courage to write poems for Princess Yongxi, the Ye family's birthday is good, and the willows are warm and the spring sun is full of sky." The mandarin duck is a thousand years old, and the piano is harmonious and willing for a hundred years. β
This poem began to be heard, and there was still such a thing, but the more I listened to it, the more wrong it was, and Xie Chengyan's gaze at Ye Xingcan was so blatant, even if he was as dull as Liu Qingrang, he also felt that something was wrong, on the banquet, which one was not a human spirit, and some people participated in the last Yongning King's reception banquet, Xie Chengyan's matter of stroking the piano for the eldest princess was still in front of him, and today it was this one, which was too naked.
The strange thing is that this Xie Chengyan is only an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, even if he is the first assistant, he was also ordered by the king of the Tang Dynasty to come to marry the princess, what is the position of this trouble, if the king of the Tang Dynasty is here, he will say the past.
Ye Yao was even more furious, and the case was shot, and the wine bottle was thrown straight at Xie Chengyan, and then he didn't care about a trace of friendship between the state and the country, and the king of Yongning struck a thunderous blow, this Xie Chengyan was actually intercepted steadily, as if he was smiling, and spoke again, "The envoy of the Tang Dynasty Xie Chengyan was ordered by my king to marry the eldest princess of Da Yongmin as the queen, and he was willing to hire the seven cities on the border of Tang and Yong, and marry the two countries Qin and Jin." β
Seven Cities? Not to mention Huizong, everyone in the hall was in an uproar, and Wang Zaicheng's concentration to watch his nose and nose was also scattered, this dowry was tempting, and it was even more tempting to ......
It's just that King Yongning said clearly in the early dynasty that he had already been in the same room, and the princess did not marry, but now he asked to marry again, and the dowry was doubled, from three cities to seven cities, what did the Tang Dynasty want? Just for a woman you've never met?
Ye Xingcan listened to these words, word by word, they were all clear, but he didn't understand the meaning, Compassion for the eldest princess? Isn't that her? Zhongtang begged to marry himself? Is this man crazy? Or is Zhongtang crazy?
Ye Yao grabbed Ye Xingcan's hands worriedly, restrained the murderous aura in his voice, and said in a low voice, "Ah Can, you go back with Huo Yuelingxiang first, and I will deal with the rest." β
Lingxiang was also stunned, but she could hear the noise around her, isn't she just a princess of the previous dynasty, in exchange for the stability of the two countries, marry and marry, King Yongning is still worried about women?
What are they talking about? Who will go and kiss?
It wasn't until he was dragged by Huo Yue that he woke up, and he was about to leave while protecting the young lady, but was blocked by a figure.
Chen Si, who had been silent, got up and stopped Ye Xingcan, who was still ignorant, and said calmly, "Holy Lord, Niangniang, the courtiers have something to do." β
Chen Binglin, the commander of the Imperial Forest Guard, who was sitting together, was shocked by his daughter's sudden behavior, and stood up solemnly, when did she leave the table and block in front of the princess? What is she going to do?
It's just that at this time, it was impossible to stop it, and I saw Huizong raise his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and they all looked at Miss Chen and Princess Min who were standing on the side.
Chen Si added his strength and dragged Ye Xingcan to the hall, reflecting his burning eyes and smiling indifferently, but before he could speak, he saw Yongning walking into the hall, separating the two, protecting Ye Xingcan behind him, frowning, and looking coldly at the people around him, as well as Huizong and the queen sitting on the platform.
Huizong, raised his hand to stop the music prostitute singing and dancing, and the Qingshu Palace, which had lost the background sound, suddenly became even more silent. Queen Yu Lan was calm, looking at this scene lightly, but she was a little envious of being cared for by Ye Xingcan. Ye Yan also looked at the scene in front of the hall indifferently, as if he was also surprised.
Chen Si expected Ye Yao's reaction, raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes flashed, and he fixed for a moment, and then continued, "Lord Xie, in the early dynasty, in front of all the ministers, King Yongning rejected the request of the Zhongtang Dynasty and his relatives, the reason was that he had a husband and wife with the eldest princess of his son and nephew, but he didn't expect that the king of Zhongtang didn't mind, and he also added four cities to the dowry, but it was really more affectionate than Jinjian." β
The word by word "son and nephew", "husband and wife", the words hit the center of the vortex, and one stone startled a thousand waves, forcing people to reverie and think deeply.
It turns out that the daytime rumors are all true?
The dignified prince and the princess, so unorthodox, and some people talked in a whisper, it turned out that King Yongning was the uncle of the princess, so many years, no one mentioned it, it was really wronged......
Ye Xingcan grabbed Ye Yao tightly and forced herself to calm down, it's okay, what she said is the truth, what about Uncle Wang? Two hundred years have passed, the so-called kinship has long been thin, and the world is not ignorant that unmarried cohabitation is just contemptuous accusation, and it has not hurt others, since it has been done, it is not afraid, she doesn't care about this.
It's just that no matter how strong her heart is, after all, she is just a seventeen-year-old girl, she just feels that she has been stripped naked and stands on the spot, even if she stubbornly raises her eyes, she still dodges everyone's eyes, her face is thin, and she is already red.
Ye Yao's heart sank and sank with her every sentence, these were all to blame him, and he didn't think about it, so he pushed Ah Can to such a situation, seeing the tears in Ah Can's eyes and crying, he was even more distressed, the ice in his eyes was a little colder, and he no longer estimated the royal etiquette, and he was about to leave with Ye Xingcan when he raised his legs.
"Slow down!" Chen Si said sharply, "Lord Xie, may I ask if the King of the Tang Dynasty doesn't mind, the eldest princess is not perfect, do you mind, she once eloped with Qin Mo, the general of the Dayong rebel army?" β
"Shut up!" Chen Binglin rushed forward, covered Chen Si's mouth, and pulled her to kneel in front of the hall, "The saint, Niangniang, the prince, are all Weichen's goddaughters are not strict, let her talk about it, ask the saint to allow Weichen to take the little girl away, and punish her in the future, Weichen will never say a 'no' word." β
Chen Binglin blocked Chen Siwei's words, but he couldn't stop Youyou's mouth.
Ye Xingcan only felt a thunderbolt on a sunny day, but she stabilized her mind and walked out from behind Ye Yao, she couldn't panic, she couldn't lose her momentum, she couldn't let others arrange to splash dirty water, and in the name of "elopement", it would be okay to pollute herself, but it would affect her brother to be commented on by the world.
She clenched her fists, looked at Chen Si calmly, looked at everyone in the hall, looked at Ye Yao on her side, and opened her mouth to the extreme, "Miss Chen's casual mouth is to pollute the innocence of the palace and the prince, so, you should be killed!" Set an example! β
Everyone was stunned, Ye Yao stood in front of the jade steps with his hands in his hands, looked around, and raised his eyebrows coldly, this is right, how can the princess who grew up in the Yongning Mansion be slaughtered.
Chen Si broke free and sneered, his voice sharp, "The princess really has no evidence for me?" Saintly, the courtiers want to borrow Princess Yongxi's maidservant. β
Without waiting for Huizong to answer, he shouted loudly, "Cui'er, don't come out yet!" β
Behind Ye Yan, the green-clothed maid walked out slowly, still with her eyes down, not looking at anyone, and bowing solemnly to the hall, but her voice was hoarse and terrifying, "Cheap maid Shen Cui has seen the saint, Niangniang." β
Everyone was surprised, this woman's voice was like a soldering iron rolling, broken, Huizong was also interested, maybe after tonight, what Yanyan asked for could be turned around, that is, it was implied that the left and right guards pulled Chen Binglin away, leaving Chen Si and Cui'er, and commented carefully.
Cui'er knelt down and turned around, bowing to Ye Yao, "Lord Wang." β
But he didn't bow down to Ye Xingcan.
Ye Yao frowned and glanced at her, his face still cold.
Ye Yan deliberately held on to the back of the chair, got up weakly, and coughed, "Cui'er, I pity you for your miserable situation, so I accepted you as a maidservant, when did you have a relationship with Miss Chen, you are close to me, what are you going to do?" She was in a hurry, and she trembled a little, and was about to walk down to stop her, but she was stopped in time by the maid beside her.
Cui'er sneered in her heart, but she still saluted Ye Yan again, and then slowly raised her eyes, and Sen Leng looked at Ye Xingcan, "Princess, do you remember me?" β
Ye Xingcan knew that what was waiting for her at this moment was not the love of the master and servant, and she had a stirring spirit in her heart, whether it was for herself, Ye Yao, or the entire Yongning Palace, she couldn't mess up with her proportions, she just kept her eyes cold, forcibly endured her guilt towards Cui'er, and didn't answer again.
"Saint, I am the personal servant of the eldest princess and grew up with her, but now, the princess is still a princess, but I have become a camp-prostitute, if I hadn't been saved by Princess Yongxi, I am afraid that I would have lost my life long ago." The ruined voice is said sentence by word, but it is heart-wrenching.
Ye Xingcan was stunned and pushed Ye Yao away, wanting to help Cui'er up, but when he touched her arm, he saw terrible scars under his sleeves, what kind of torture was that, "Cui'er, what happened, I'll take you back ......"
Cui'er took a step back and sneered, "Princess, where were you when I was dragged to the barracks and humiliated in every way?" I cried hoarsely, but I still didn't escape the nightmarish days and nights, where are you? The princess's life is heavy, Cui'er's life is light, I am willing to protect the princess from being humiliated by that beast, when did you remember me? β
Cui'er cried blood, Huo Yue couldn't help but turn his back, he grew up with Cui'er, but he also forgot to look for her back.
Ye Yao's face remained unchanged, after all, his heart was touched, Xie Palm, he also knew, if Qin Mo hadn't returned to Tonglinguan in time to save Ah Can, he was afraid that he would have killed himself.
Cui'er fell into Xie Brown's army, but it is conceivable that she was careless and did not send anyone to look for her, which caused the current situation.
Cui'er looked up at the stunned few people, laughing wildly, "Princess, you are finally willing to recognize me, recognize me as a, I thought that only when I was tortured to death and turned into a ghost, would I have a chance to meet ......"
"Presumptuous!" Ye Yao scolded angrily, shaking everyone's hearts.
