Chapter 111: Harmony
Although Lin and Zhou signed a non-aggression agreement, in order to stabilize the relationship between the two countries, the emperor of Zhou also deliberately gave up a princess to make peace.
felt that this was a particularly proud thing, Lin Guoren couldn't help but smile a little on his face, and the emperor was also happy to see it, allowing the fifth princess to choose her husband.
When many people heard this, they immediately felt that they had a chance, so they straightened their waists and wanted the fifth princess to pay attention to them.
The Eighth Prince couldn't take his eyes off when the Fifth Princess appeared, he was originally staring at Du Yanwan, Du Yanwan's outfit today was particularly good-looking, and the Eighth Prince's attention was all attracted, but as soon as he saw the Fifth Princess, he temporarily left Du Yanwan behind.
At this moment, he was also like those who wanted to marry the fifth princess, pretending to straighten his waist, wanting the fifth princess to notice him.
The eyes of the fifth princess turned around the field, and saw a few good ones, and secretly paid attention to them, but they did not make a sound, and when her gaze swept over a corner, she couldn't help but pause.
I saw a man in a dark shirt sitting in that corner, the man was handsome, but his expression was very cold, he drank by himself, as if he didn't notice the movement next to him.
Everyone else is looking at themselves, only this man is an exception, and judging from his bearing, it can be seen that he is not a simple person.
couldn't help but bend her lips, and the fifth princess asked in a crisp voice, "I don't know what this adult is called?" ”
Everyone looked at the sight of the fifth princess and saw Zhai Yeqi drinking alone, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
This, what are the five princesses doing in the night? Could it be that you have taken a fancy to him?
But who in the entire capital doesn't know that Lord Zhai is not close to women, will the fifth princess have a good result if she falls in love with him?
When the emperor heard this, his eyes flashed, and then he said, "This is my great general. ”
"Oh, it's a general." The fifth princess's eyes lit up, "Then I don't know if this general has a marriage match?" ”
Du Yanwan's hand hidden under his sleeve tightened.
Mrs. Zhai's face is not good-looking, she doesn't know what the emperor thinks in his heart, the one who can marry the princess is definitely not the prince, so she can only choose from among their courtiers, but will the emperor really give his son a marriage regardless of his son's wishes?
The county lord of Zhaoyang was at the palace banquet at this time, and after listening to the words of the fifth princess, she was naturally very angry, she was still sitting here, and someone dared to pry the corner of the wall in front of her, when she was dead?
"Fifth princess, Lord Zhai is not married, but he was decided by the lord of this county early on, I advise you to die of this heart."
The fact that the county lord of Zhaoyang likes Zhai Yeqi has long been known to the entire capital, so the county lord of Zhaoyang has no intention of concealing it, in front of so many people, he directly swore sovereignty, and raised his chin to the fifth princess after speaking, with an arrogant and disdainful expression.
"The county lord is cautious." Zhai Yeqi's face sank and said coldly.
The county lord of Zhaoyang didn't argue with Zhai Yeqi, he just wanted the fifth princess not to be delusional.
Du Yanwan on the side was not angry with these two people, and stuffed something into her mouth depressedly.
"Don't just eat, so you don't choke."
Shi Cuiying saw the unhappiness in Du Yanwan's heart, and cared.
Du Yanwan nodded, took a sip of the drink on the side of the table, it tasted sweet, like juice, it was quite delicious, Du Yanwan couldn't help but take a few more sips.
After drinking, she felt a little dizzy, and her face was hot, as if she had a fever.
It's bad that Du Yanwan drank wine just now, and she was already drunk at this time.
Afraid that Du Yanwan would get drunk and make some rudeness, Shi Cuiying recruited the little maid and asked Du Yanwan to be sent below to rest.
After Du Yanwan got drunk, he was obedient and didn't make a fuss, and after being pushed into the arms of the little maid, he lay quietly in the arms of the little maid.
The maid helped Du Yan all the way down late.
Shen Mei on the other side saw this scene, and a trace of darkness flashed in her eyes.
recruited his little maid and said a few words in the little maid's ear.
The little maid nodded when she heard this, and retreated silently.
When the fifth princess of Zhou Guo heard the words of the county lord of Zhaoyang, she suddenly felt a little unhappy in her heart.
Because she was used to being suppressed when she was in Zhou Guo, she finally came to Lin Guo, she originally wanted to show off her martial arts, but she didn't expect to be lost face by Qi Yuewan, and she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
In her opinion, the county lord of Zhaoyang didn't want to let herself have a relationship with the man just now, so she just wanted to do it!
Besides, the man was obviously not interested in the Zhaoyang County Lord just now, she was just wishful thinking, why couldn't she have some other ideas?
If a man is unmarried and a woman is unmarried, why can't he pursue his own happiness?
Thinking that the fifth princess of Zhou Guo had other thoughts in her heart, but she would not say it in front of so many people at this time, she just showed a little grievance, "I don't know that this girl also likes this general, but I just ask, girl, why are you so fierce?" ”
She was originally not very old, and she was born beautiful, and she looked delicate, but when she showed an aggrieved expression at this time, many people felt pity, and Qi Yuewan's eyes were a little complaining.
Qi Yuewan snorted coldly, still straightened her waist and refused to show weakness, looking at the fifth princess of Zhou Guo with an arrogant and disdainful expression, "You know now, don't give me the idea of beating him in the future." ”
"Wan'er!" King Jing interrupted Qi Yuewan's words with an angry voice.
Qi Yuewan looked at King Jing's face and stopped talking, and King Jing stood up again to ask the emperor for his daughter.
"The little girl is rude, she collided with the emperor, please forgive the emperor."
The emperor's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he laughed, "It's okay, Wan'er's straightforward nature is just to protect the son she likes." ”
King Jing sighed, "She is simply too unreasonable, it is the negligence of the minister, and she did not discipline her daughter well." ”
The emperor persuaded King Jing a few more words, but he did not blame Qi Yuewan, glanced at the fifth princess of Zhou who was still wronged, and said a few words that won the hearts of the people, and finally used a sentence, the young man's matter will be solved by the young man himself, and this matter will be brought over.
did not stand on Qi Yuewan's side, nor on the side of the fifth princess of Zhou Guo, but let the two solve it on their own.
Mrs. Zhai immediately breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, the emperor's words indirectly indicated that she would not force her son.
Whether it is the lord of Zhaoyang or the fifth princess of Zhou, if you want to marry your son, you have to rely on your own ability.
The fifth princess of Zhou Guo's eyes flashed when she heard this, "The emperor is extremely reasonable, the twisted melon is not sweet, and the marriage has to be liked by both parties." As he spoke, he looked at Zhai Yeqi shyly and timidly.
What she said was extremely interesting, on the one hand, she secretly satirized the county lord of Zhaoyang for stalking Zhai Yeqi, and on the other hand, she expressed her determination to show that she would take the initiative to pursue Zhai Yeqi and let Zhai Yeqian agree to the marriage of the two.
However, when she spoke, she looked very innocent, as if she was just saying it casually, and had no other meaning, but when you think about it, it is not the same thing.
Some sensitive people have changed their eyes slightly when they look at her, is she intentional or unintentional?
Is the fifth princess of Zhou really as innocent and bright as she seems on the surface?
The county lord of Zhaoyang listened to the words of the fifth princess of Zhou Guo, and almost didn't bite a mouthful of silver teeth.
Damn little slut, how dare you really fight with yourself!
The second prince of Zhou Guo listened to the words of the fifth princess, but lowered his eyes and did not say anything.
In fact, before letting people come to Lin Guo and their relatives, they had already prepared candidates, and the Zhai family was also one of their candidates.
So at this time, the fifth princess showed an interesting look to Zhai Yeqi, and the second prince did not stop her.
After knowing that the fifth princess also liked Zhai Yeqi, many people cast envious glances at Zhai Yeqi. It's just that he has been pursued by the county lord of Zhaoyang for so many years, and now the fifth princess is also interesting to him, these two are rare beauties, what kind of good luck did Zhai Yeqi go!
Zhai Yeqi, who was envied by many people, was having a cold face at the moment, he didn't feel that there was anything to envy about being liked by these two women, for him, it was a trouble.
The emperor said a few other words, and the other people at the banquet naturally followed the emperor's words, and the matter was quickly revealed, and the atmosphere soon became lively again.
At this time, another person whispered a few words in the ear of Wen Chengze, the second prince of Zhou State, and after Wen Chengze heard it, his expression changed slightly, and he took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to the table.
After Wen Chengze followed the man for a few steps, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, "Are you sure there is something wrong with the gift I prepared for the emperor?" ”
The person in front of him skipped half a beat when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down, he didn't show his face, "Naturally it's true, Second Highness, go and take a look." ”
Wen Chengze's eyes darkened, and he followed behind the man without saying a word.
Let's go ahead and see what the other party is up to.
Finding that Wen Chengze didn't continue to ask, the man breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but speed up his pace.
Wen Chengze was taken to a small pavilion, with a somewhat puzzled look on his face, "Didn't you say that you were going to take me to see what was wrong with the gift, what are you bringing me here for?" ”
The other party bent down, looked flustered but pretended to be calm and said: "The slave should be damned, I didn't tell the second highness the real purpose of inviting the second highness over!" ”
"Oh?" Wen Chengze raised his eyebrows, "What do you want to do when you tell me?" ”
"The slave just wants the Second Highness to know the true intention of the slave and maid master to invite the Second Highness over." The palace maid lowered her head and said with a frightened look.
A hint of interest gradually appeared in Wen Chengze's eyes, "Tell me, what did your master want to do when he invited me over?" ”
