Chapter 164: The Princess of Uzi
"Thank you, Your Majesty." With that, Elilian got up and sat down beside her brother.
The eyes of the crown prince and the third prince all moved with the princess, and the other princes were much calmer.
I watched the dance too.
Empress Wang smiled and looked at Emperor Xuan, "The concubine has prepared a small game to help the fun, and she has to ask the emperor to call the shots, I don't know what the emperor wants?" ”
Emperor Xuan has passed the age of not being confused, and it was a little inappropriate to do this, but seeing that everyone's interest is so good, it is not easy to spoil the fun, "Okay!" Today, I will test these boudoir girls. ”
After that, he asked people to serve the pen and ink, wrote a few riddles, and the other riddles had already been pasted on all kinds of lanterns.
For these two photos of Emperor Xuan, Queen Wang personally selected the lanterns and ordered them to be pasted.
Then, guessing the riddles officially began.
A palace maid stood up with a lantern, and a chamberlain said loudly: "It's not shocking to fall flowers all over the ground!" ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then Concubine Xuan pouted a little coquettishly: "Your Majesty, if you follow this riddle, the concubines don't follow it, the emperor is extremely smart, and this doesn't say a general direction, so how can you guess?" ”
When Emperor Xuan saw her say this, he couldn't help but smile, "Concubine Ai is right, this riddle, fight a celebrity, everyone guess it." ”
Only then did everyone start to think.
Liu Mengyan saw that Liu Ruoyu thought about it for a while, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, she immediately took her hand, shook her head and gave her a look.
Liu Ruoyu is also a smart person, and she immediately understood that now is the best time for her to pretend to be dull.
She nodded, then took a meditative gesture again.
At this time, someone suddenly stood up and said in a loud voice, "I know, I know." "This person is Xiao Yumei, the concubine of Yongning Houmen.
Emperor Xuan couldn't help but be a little curious when he saw that someone knew about it so quickly, "Huh? Okay, tell me who it is? ”
Xiao Yumei nodded, and then said very confidently: "Back to the emperor, Queen Mother, it's Xie An!" This riddle is that the flowers fall all over the ground without being alarmed, and the flowers do not disturb the mood, so it is naturally Xie An. ”
Emperor Xuan nodded and looked at her appreciatively, "Not bad." It's not a loss to be the daughter of Yongning Hou, it's really Lan Xinhui's quality. ”
After receiving Emperor Xuan's praise, others naturally complained of praise and envy, and Xiao Yumei was out of the limelight for a while.
She smiled with a smile on her face, "Emperor Xie praises." Then he sat down.
Then there is the second riddle written by the emperor, the palace maid is carrying a lantern, and the chamberlain is on the side and says: "The two of them have fourteen hearts." Type a word. ”
As soon as the waiter's words fell, someone said: "Your Majesty, the little woman knows the mystery." I saw Wu Yuelin, the concubine of the Marquis of Jingyuan's mansion, standing up.
Emperor Xuan smiled: "Okay, you can talk about it." ”
"It's German." Wu Yuelin said with a smile.
Emperor Xuan nodded, very satisfied, and then smiled: "It seems that I am old, you juniors, you are all one race at a time." ”
Queen Wang also smiled, "Where the emperor speaks, it is the simplicity of the emperor's riddle." This made them guess accurately, but they were afraid that it would be difficult, and when the time came, the game would be terminated in the first round. ”
Everyone also hurriedly echoed complimentally.
Emperor Xuan was obviously very happy with Empress Wang's words, but he waved his hand, signaling that they didn't have to care and continued to play.
Next, the chamberlain shouted more than a dozen riddles, all of which had been prepared before. During this period, almost everyone answered one, even Liu Ruomei answered one, only Liu Mengyan and Liu Ruoyu never answered.
Chen Guifei and Concubine Xuan had been observing everyone's performance when they were guessing the lantern riddles, and they were both a little disappointed with Liu Ruoyu. I thought that the family was good, and this appearance was not bad among the ladies, such a person must be a smart and clever person, but he didn't want to react so slowly, which was really a big disappointment.
On the contrary, the other three were all in the eyes of two of them. They are Xiao Yumei, the concubine of the Marquis of Yongning, Wu Yuelin of the Marquis of Jingyuan, and the concubine of the Wan family. These three are all good, but after all, there is only one side concubine, and they still need to be carefully considered.
Therefore, Chen Guifei and Concubine Xuan did not express their thoughts in their hearts, but they just looked faint, so no one could figure out what they were thinking.
At this time, the prince of Uzi suddenly stood up and pulled Elilian to the front of the palace, "Your Majesty, I am on the orders of my father, and there is actually one more thing to discuss with the emperor this time." ”
Emperor Xuan immediately suppressed his smile, his face instantly became serious, before the national event, he always looked majestic, he said in a deep voice: "I don't know what your country has to discuss?" ”
The prince pushed Elilian out, "This is my sister, the most noble princess of the Uzi Kingdom, I didn't bring her here this time for fun, but in the hope of marrying the Tuoba Dynasty and giving it to the prince of the Tuoba Dynasty." ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar, everyone didn't expect things to change so quickly, just now they were watching Princess Elilian's dancing with pleasure, but now they are watching, but they have another feeling in their hearts.
Those women were a little uneasy and nervous, after all, everyone knew why they came to the banquet this time. But now, doesn't the princess make it clear that she is robbing them of their opportunity? But there is no way, who makes her a dignified princess of a country, although it is not a big country, but it is not comparable to them.
Emperor Xuan was slightly surprised when he heard his words, but then there was excitement.
Originally, he had this intention before, but the Uzi country has not shown anything, so he will not move, and now that he has proposed it first, it is naturally the best.
If you can marry, then you can get the assistant of the Uzi country, and the border of the Tuoba Sheng Dynasty will add a little more peace, if there is a war,
The country of Uzbek can also contribute a lot, so why not do it?
But the difficulty is that which prince is it allowed to?
When the princes heard that Princess Elilian was going to choose a husband among the princes, they also became nervous.
Emperor Xuan looked at Elilian, "The princess is noble, I don't know what the princess thinks?" ”
Since he himself did not know which prince to whom he would be granted, why not leave the question to herself?
Elilian stepped forward, looked directly at Emperor Xuan, and then said very confidently: "Back to the emperor, for the sake of peace between the two countries, Elilian is willing to make peace." However, Elilian is not such a casual person, and Elilian's future husband, I have to choose by myself. ”
The crowd was secretly surprised.
When Emperor Xuan heard this, it was exactly what he wanted, so he asked, "I don't know which prince of mine is lucky enough to be able to enter the eyes of the princess?" ”
Everyone held their breath and waited quietly.
knows that the benefits of this princess, if he can marry this princess, then the entire Uzi country will become a help behind him.
Elilian turned around, looked around at the princes, and then stopped her gaze on Tuoba Zeyan.
Then she raised her hand and pointed at him, "Back to the emperor, I chose the sixth prince!" ”
As soon as Elilian's words came out, everyone was in an uproar again, and they looked at the sixth prince Tuoba Zeyan in shock.
If you want to talk about status, all the princes are not as good as the prince, if you talk about talent, it should be the best of the four princes, and the domineering nature belongs to the three princes.
Although these six princes are handsome, this advantage is obviously insignificant in terms of power.
Therefore, no matter what, the person who should be chosen by the princess of the Uzi country is said to be the turn of the six princes, but now the most unlikely thing has happened, and everyone is naturally very surprised.
Even Emperor Xuan and all the concubines were surprised.
Liu Mengyan was also slightly surprised when she heard Elilian's words, thinking that she would choose the crown prince or the fourth prince.
After all, the prince's status is noble, although he is said to be a straw bag.
The fourth prince had a private meeting with the people of Uzi a few days ago, thinking that there was some conspiracy, but now it was completely beyond her expectations.
She looked at Tuoba Zeyan, her heartbeat suddenly increased a little, and she felt a little unpleasant.
I saw that his face was calm, without the slightest look of surprise and joy.
At the same time, Tuoba Zeyan also suddenly looked over, just in front of Liu Mengyan's eyes, seeing that there was some anxiety in her eyes, he suddenly felt a little happy in his heart.
Liu Mengyan's face turned red in an instant, as if someone had explored her secret.
She hurriedly lowered her head, not looking at anyone.
At this time, Tuoba Zeyan stood up without changing his face and said to Emperor Xuan: "Back to my father, if Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't mind being small, then the sons won't mind either." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked again, and this time, they were even more surprised than the previous two times, and they seemed to be a little unbearable, after all, there were too many accidents today, which made people a little overwhelmed for a while.
This time, including Liu Mengyan, she was a little surprised, and suddenly raised her head to look at Tuoba Zeyan.
I saw him standing with his hands in his hands, with a glorious body and an outstanding temperament.
You know, how can this be a princess of Uzi to make people small?
Is he refusing to marry in public?
Liu Mengyan looked at Tuoba Zeyan with complicated eyes, wanting to see through him, but she couldn't see through it.
The princess of a dignified country was actually rejected by him in public!
No, it's more odious than refusal. If he refuses to get married, he can only say that he is not worthy of the princess, but he actually said that he can only be small, where does this make the princess's face go?
Qi Zhaoyi pulled Tuoba Zeyan's sleeve, but Tuoba Zeyan was still unmoved.
"Hugh is talking nonsense! This is the noble princess of Uzi, Xiaoliu, you, you ......! ”
Emperor Xuan's tone was obviously a little angry, he thought it was a good thing, but he didn't want it to be like this.
Tuoba Zeyan hurriedly knelt down and said, "Father, it's not that the sons are disrespectful to the princess, it's that the sons already have a heart, and they can't tolerate others anymore." If the father has to force the son, then the son can only grieve the princess. ”
Everyone was shocked again, but they didn't expect that the six princes already had candidates for the six princesses.
began to speculate about who this person who was favored by the six princes was?
