Chapter 61: The Dream of the Emperor is Shattered
"Ruochen has seen Brother Laixi, Brother Laixi is fine."
Lai Xi's seat happened to be next to Si Ruochen, and when Si Ruochen saw Lacey coming over, he quickly got up and said hello sweetly.
"It turned out to be Xiao Ruochen, but I didn't expect that the more charming and moving I hadn't seen for many years, Brother Lacey wanted to marry Xiao Ruochen home."
The corners of Lacey's mouth pulled into a wicked smile, and she said in a mocking tone.
Xiao Shuihan stood behind Laixi, heard Si Ruochen's voice, and secretly raised his eyes curiously to look at it, and couldn't help exclaiming in his heart: Wow! What a cute person carved in pink, this is too cute! It looks like she's as big as this body, but she's obviously more likeable!
Look at the clear and bright pupils, curved willow eyebrows, long eyelashes trembling slightly, fair and flawless skin revealing a faint red pink, thin lips like rose petals delicate and dripping, between a smile and a smile, revealing the innocence that belongs to this age.
Especially the sound like a silver bell, it's hard not to like it!
But she always felt weird, but she couldn't say it.
Forget it, if you can't think of it, you don't want to.
"Really? Does Brother Lacey really want to marry Ruochen and go home?
Ruochen will take it seriously! ”
Si Ruochen blinked his eyes and looked at Lacey with a serious expression.
"Ahem, ahem!" Hearing this, Lai Xi's throat and eyes were choked with saliva, and she looked at Si Ruochen with a flushed face, patted her chest lightly with her hand, and said, "Little, little Ruochen, are you considered murder?"
When Si Ruochen saw Lacey's appearance, he laughed out loud, "Haha, haha, Brother Lacey has been tricked by Ruochen now!" See if you dare next time. ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare anymore, Sister Ruochen will let Brother Lacey go."
Lacey waved his hand again and again, begging for mercy from Si Ruochen.
He Wenxuan and Lan Miyun looked at Lai Xi's deflated appearance and smiled helplessly.
All the young ladies sitting at the bottom looked at the two laughing with envy, but Yang Qiyu, the eldest daughter of the Hubu Shangshu family, looked at Si Ruochen with vicious eyes.
"Phew! Isn't she the princess of an inferior country?
What qualifies her to sit next to Lacey's son? ”
Yang Qiyu, the young lady who slapped Yinquan before, looked at Si Ruochen with hostile eyes, and twisted the handkerchief in her hand with both hands.
"Miss......"
Seeing this, the maid hurriedly covered Yang Qiyu's mouth.
"Shut up!
Inferior countries?
What do you think you are?
People are princesses, the princesses of the silk reeling country who are most likely to inherit the queen's throne, you are just the daughter of a little Shangshu, what do you compare with others?
If you want to find death, stay away, don't affect the entire Shangshu Mansion. ”
Yang Cheng, the head of the household, heard the words from his daughter's mouth, hurriedly looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention, so he lowered his voice and scolded:
"Put away your eyes, sit honestly, if you say it again, don't blame the father for not talking about the relationship between father and daughter."
"Daddy~"
Yang Qiyu saw that her father was so angry, even if she was dissatisfied in her heart, she could only withdraw her eyes and sit down obediently.
After Yang Qiyu sat down, Si Ruochen glanced in the direction of Yang Cheng's father and daughter as if unintentionally.
In the center of the main hall, He Zhitian and a group of princes and princesses were sending congratulatory gifts to He Wenxuan one by one to express their love for He Wenxuan.
"Hehe, okay, all my good sons and daughters, let's take a seat quickly!"
After the dedication, the great eunuch Li Deshun shouted loudly: "Silence-"
Hearing this, everyone stopped their voices and looked up.
"I have a happy event to share with my subjects today, I think everyone already knows that the crown prince He Zhitian is already in the year of the weak crown, but the position of the crown princess has not been decided, and I am also very distressed, so I simply take advantage of today to set the position of the crown princess, what do the subjects think?"
He Zhitian looked at the people sitting next with joy on his face, observing the reactions on everyone's faces one by one.
Hearing this, all the housekeepers looked at He Wenxuan who was sitting at the top in surprise, and secretly decided that they must behave well later.
"The old minister thinks that my emperor's move is very good, and my emperor is wise!"
Prime Minister Xiao Shan was the first to stand up, looked at Xiao Yixue, and said with a compliment.
Hearing this, some people who knew about Xiao Yixue and Prince Crescent Moon all looked at Xiao Yixue with a mocking expression, and then looked at Xiao Shan like a monkey.
Xiao Yixue raised her eyes to catch a glimpse of those people's eyes, lowered her head in shame, did not dare to look at Xiao Shan, her hands hidden under the table were tightly clenched, and her eyes were full of resentment.
But in Xiao Shan's eyes, he thought his daughter was shy, so he ignored it.
The officials sitting on the side who didn't know what was inside silently congratulated Xiao Shan in advance, and Xiao Shan also responded one by one.
Xiao Shuihan looked at Xiao Shan's face of "I will be the national ruler soon", and then looked at Xiao Yixue who was hanging his head, a subtle evil smile was pulled up at the corner of his mouth, his head shook slightly, and he muttered secretly in his heart:
'My good father, it's a pity that your dream of being a prince is about to be shattered!
Oh no! You may not be able to be the ruler of the Heavenly Star Kingdom, but the Crescent Moon Country may be able to let you be! ”
Xiao Ruofeng, who had been paying attention to Xiao Shuihan, did not miss any of Xiao Shuihan's expressions, seeing this, he wanted to remind Xiao Shan to restrain himself, but when he thought of Xiao Shuihan again, he didn't pay attention to it anymore.
"The old minister seconded the proposal~"
All the ministers followed Xiao Shan's words.
"Okay, since everyone thinks this move is very good, then let's do it!
There is also a happy event that I hope all my subjects will witness.
Little Junko~"
He Wenxuan glanced at Xiao Shan lightly, ignoring his compliment, although his face was as usual, there seemed to be something in his eyes that had changed.
Xiao Shan's upcoming surprise occupied his head, and he didn't notice that something was wrong in He Wenxuan's eyes.
Li Deshun took out a gold scroll from his wide sleeve, spread it out, and shouted loudly:
"Prime Minister Xiao Shan, Xiao Yixue, Prince Crescent Moon receives the order~"
Xiao Shan walked to the center of the hall and knelt down with a happy face, even if Xiao Yixue was unwilling, she could only obediently obey, but when she got up, her eyes were full of tears, and she looked at He Zhitian pitifully, but unfortunately He Zhitian did not receive it.
Ye Haotian also came to the center of the hall and knelt down.
Xiao Shan looked at Ye Haotian a little strangely, and didn't understand what this had to do with Ye Haotian?
Time didn't allow him to think too much, so he could only hear the great eunuch Li Deshun read aloud:
"Fengtian carrier, my emperor's edict said: There is Xiao Yixue, the daughter of the Xiao family, who is cautious, diligent and submissive, talented and beautiful, and deeply loved by me.
Hearing this, Xiao Shan's head was stunned on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning. I saw that his face was full of joy, and it froze instantly, and he repeatedly confirmed the content of the holy decree in his mind, and looked at the holy decree in Li Deshun's hand with an unbelieving face, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and asked out loud:
"Your Majesty, this, this......
The little girl is not ...... with the prince"
"Yes, I am here to congratulate Xiao Aiqing on my marriage to the prince of the Crescent Moon Kingdom."
He Wenxuan changed his normal state, his eyes darkened, and he said in a cold tone:
However, looking at Xiao Aiqing's look, it seems that she is not satisfied with my marriage? ”
"No, no, no, no!
The minister just wants to say that the little girl will marry the prince of the Crescent Moon Kingdom before she has time to marry three days later, I'm afraid it's too early, can you ......?"
Although Xiao Shan had accepted the facts, the completion of the marriage in the three days of the holy decree made him wonder, and he couldn't help asking.
He Wenxuan ignored Xiao Shan's inquiry, and Li Deshun, who was standing on the side, said loudly:
"Prime Minister Xiao Cheng can go back to the house and ask Ling Ai."
Xiao Shan looked at Xiao Yixue with a puzzled face, seeing that Xiao Yixue kept her head down and didn't make a sound, and then thought of getting married three days later, he knew that something must have happened that he didn't know, otherwise he would not have been silent at this time when he had always been clamoring to marry He Zhitian and be the daughter of the crown princess.
"Thanksgiving~"
Xiao Shan's tone instantly lost the arrogance just now, like a frosted eggplant. After receiving the holy decree, he stood up tremblingly and walked back to his seat with difficulty.
"Xie Wuhuang~"
Prince Crescent Moon thanked Xiao Yixue and walked back to his seat.
When she sat down, Xiao Yixue looked in Xiao Shihan's direction with resentment.
At this time, Xiao Shan looked at the eyes of his colleagues around him, and they all became sarcastic, and a pair of mocking eyes came like him, so that Xiao Shan was like sitting on pins and needles.
The picture flipped, on the official road to Lin'an City, a horse galloped from a distance, the eyes of the person on the horse looked firmly at the direction of Lin'an City, the horse whip in his hand waved behind him from time to time, and his mind kept flashing the people he was thinking about, and he muttered secretly:
"Woman, this king is back......"
Behind him, a group of black-clad masked men were following closely behind, waiting for an opportunity to move.
