After welcoming the crown prince and the five princes to their seats, the Tuoba clan walked up to the Zhu family and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you see the sixth prince?" I heard my mother say that these six princes also asked for Sister Yan's birthday in Baiyun Temple. On such a day, these six princes should come. ”

She is actually not very optimistic about the prince in her heart, rather than marrying the prince, it is better for the six princes and Sister Yan to match.

When the Zhu family heard this, she felt mixed feelings in her heart, she knew that Liu Mengyan didn't want to marry into the royal family, no matter which prince it was, she must be reluctant, but she couldn't say these words in front of the Tuoba family.

She barely pulled out a smile and said, "This is a matter in the royal family, and we can expect it?" ”

In fact, compared with the six princes, she is more concerned about whether Guo Zitao from the Guo Mansion has come, but now Guo Zitao has not yet appeared.

"Aunt Zhu!" Guo Yuqi happened to walk up the steps, saw Zhu's mother, forced a smile, and greeted her.

"Yuqi, are you alone?" Zhu Shi grabbed Guo Yuqi's hand and asked in a low voice.

"Aunt Zhu, my brother suddenly felt cold and couldn't get out of bed for a while. The mother specially asked Yuqi to come to watch the ceremony. This is a gift prepared by my mother for Ruoyan. Guo Yuqi had no choice but to say so.

Zhu Shi was stunned in his heart, and smiled awkwardly: "Yuqi, you have always talked very well with Yan'er. Go to Chu Xiuxuan and talk to her. ”

"Yes, Yuqi is going to talk to Ruoyan." How could Guo Yuqi not understand the meaning of Zhu's words just now, this was to let her tell Ruoyan that Guo Zitao did not come.

Seeing that the guests had almost arrived, Liu Sanye waited with Liu Erye and went back to the main hall of the front yard.

All the guests have taken their seats at each table according to their status.

I saw the crown prince and the five princes sitting on the chief with the old lady of the long house, Uncle Liu, and Second Master Liu.

The others exchanged their heads and whispered that the face of the county lord of Anping was really big, and even the crown prince and His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince Xianwang came to attend her ceremony.

At this moment, the prince instructed his personal attendant to bring the gift box, and the attendant walked between Liu Sanye and Zhu with the gift box in his hand.

"Open! This is a gift from the main palace to the lord of Anping County. The prince smiled slightly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really flattering to the lower officials." Liu Sanye hurriedly bowed his head to the prince and thanked him.

The gift box was opened and looked at a gold lock ring, which was not very large, the carving was complicated, and the orange-yellow-orange pure gold exuded a noble temperament.

Such a valuable gift made everyone present more and more sure of what the prince meant here.

It's not that gold is precious, but in the etiquette of the Great Tuoba Dynasty, this man gave a gold lock to a woman, which meant to ask for marriage.

Liu Sanye is happy, isn't it obvious? The prince's gift of a golden lock proves that this prince's concubine must be Liu Mengyan.

He hurriedly took it with both hands, thanked him again and again, and said that he was embarrassed, but the hand that received the gift was faster than anyone else, as if as long as he received the gift, Liu Mengyan would become the prince's concubine.

The Zhu family on the side was not so happy, she couldn't help but be secretly anxious in her heart, why didn't Guo Zitao come yet, but her face didn't dare to show the slightest meaning.

The fifth prince, who had been sitting and drinking tea, suddenly stood up again, and said a little unto be outdone: "Someone, present the gift that this king gave to the county lord of Anping." ”

Another personal attendant hurriedly stepped forward and presented the gift box to Liu Sanye.

After he opened it, Liu Sanye couldn't help but gasp, but the scene was slightly embarrassing.

Because the five princes gave a piece of beautiful jade, and the man gave the woman beautiful jade, it was a matter of affection. The thoughts of these five princes also seem to be obvious.

Everyone couldn't help but talk about it when they came: the prince gave Liu Mengyan a golden lock, and it was clear that he wanted to marry, but the five princes actually sent a piece of beautiful jade, which was not clear that he was competing with the prince, and he also had the heart to marry Liu Mengyan.

In addition to surprise in everyone's eyes, there was naturally some envy and jealousy in their hearts. Especially if there is a daughter at home, it is even more lively at the moment in the red-eyed Liufu.

Liu Sanye was worried at first, and then felt that it was a good thing that Liu Mengyan was so popular, and the crown prince and the fifth prince actually wanted to ask to marry her, which really earned him enough face.

"The little girl Pu Liu's posture, I didn't expect to be so loved by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Xian. Xia Guan was really uneasy. Liu Sanye hurriedly said.

Although Second Master Liu was also smiling on his face, he was very jealous in his heart, originally these honors should have belonged to Liu Ruoyu, but now they have become three-room. And his daughter is going to marry a Chen family who doesn't even have fame!

At this moment, an old woman shouted, "Fourth Miss has arrived!" ”

After speaking, Liu Mengyan walked into the hall accompanied by the sisters.

She was dressed in a bright red dress, the golden hairpin swayed slightly, with a slight smile on her face, like a hibiscus with clear water, and as bright as the morning glow.

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, the two princes were like this, and their eyes were fixed on Liu Mengyan and couldn't take their eyes off it.

In the past, Liu Mengyan didn't dress up much, and she was also a beautiful woman, but now she is even more beautiful when she dresses up like this.

Liu Mengyan quickly swept around Situoba, but she didn't see the figure of the person she wanted to see, and her heart couldn't help but sink a little. However, she saw two people she didn't want to see at all, that is, the crown prince and the fifth prince.

The ceremony began.

Liu Sanye first said a speech to all the guests, and then Liu Mengyan slowly saluted Master Liu and Mrs. Liu sitting in the hall with the support of the maid.

After making a big salute, Liu Sanye washed his hands, and then stepped forward to salute the ancestral tablet, light incense, and light candles.

Then, Liu Mengyan stepped forward to make a big salute to the ancestral tablet and offer incense.

Then, Liu Sanye used a ring ruler to tap Liu Mengyan's head three times, and then Zhu stepped forward and put a hairpin on Liu Ruyan's hair.

Courtesy.

At this time, Liu Ruomei was late.

She stood behind everyone and saw that Liu Mengyan kneeling in front of the hall was full of brilliance, and secretly swore in her heart that she must make Liu Mengyan miserable in the future!

Thinking about Aunt Gu's package of medicine, she not only sneered in her heart: Liu Mengyan's beautiful days are not long away.

After the ceremony, everyone began to sit down according to their status.

Liu Mengyan naturally wants to accompany the old lady in the long room at the table, because today she is the protagonist, and the crown prince and the fifth prince are the most distinguished guests here, so they naturally want to accompany each other.

Liu Sanye took Liu Mengyan to toast the crown prince and the fifth prince, although Liu Mengyan didn't like them, but she still went with a smile.

After all, this is also your own etiquette, and you shouldn't lose your etiquette at this time.

First of all, she walked up to the prince, although the prince was surprised by Liu Mengyan's beauty, but when he remembered the scene when he was beaten by her in the palace that day, he couldn't help but look away with some embarrassment, and didn't dare to look at her.

Liu Mengyan snorted coldly in her heart: This prince is really a straw bag. He beat him to the head in the Fish Pavilion that day, which should have left a nightmare in his heart.

"Ruoyan is here, thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for coming to participate in Ruoyan's ceremony." She smiled as she held her glass.

The prince picked up the wine glass in front of him and said, "The county lord is very polite." The father favored the county lord, but he could not come in person, so he specially ordered the palace to bring a congratulatory gift to congratulate the county lord on his ceremony. ”

When the old lady of the long room heard this, she couldn't help but exchange a knowing look with Liu Sanye, the meaning of these words couldn't be more obvious.

They thought that the golden lock was the meaning of the prince, but they didn't expect it to be the emperor's intention.

The emperor asked the prince to come to congratulate Liu Mengyan with this golden lock, which proved that the prince's side concubine must be Liu Mengyan.

When Liu Mengyan heard this, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart: Ran Dao Xuan Emperor really wants to marry himself to this straw bale prince? No, I must think of a way, even if I escape, I will never marry the prince.

"The emperor's grace is mighty, and the county lord of Anping thanks the emperor." She hid her disgust and replied.

Liu Ruomei, who was sitting at another table with Liu Ruliu and others, heard these words, and looked at the beloved fifth prince with only Liu Mengyan in her eyes, and even the prince did not look at herself at this moment, her heart was full of jealousy and grievances.

Liu Sanye asked Liu Mengyan to accompany him to toast the five princes.

Liu Mengyan had a different feeling when she saw the five princes.

The two looked at each other, but the fifth prince smiled, not at all as fierce as he was in the imperial garden that day.

This made Liu Mengyan couldn't help but be stunned: these five princes looked like they were harmless to humans and animals, but in fact they were extremely fierce people. She had already seen it in her previous life, and in this life, she didn't want to provoke at all.

Liu Mengyan saluted very politely, "Ruoyan visited the five princes, I never thought that the five princes would come to participate in Ruoyan's ceremony, Ruoyan is here to thank you." ”

With that, she raised the teacup in her hand.

"The county lord doesn't have to be polite, the main hall came today, and he was also ordered by the queen mother to come to send congratulatory gifts to the county lord. The queen mother has always been thinking about the county lord, and she wants to ask the county lord to enter the palace one day. Tuoba Yeze smiled slightly.

He seems to be smiling when he speaks, giving people a very incomprehensible look.

When Liu Sanye heard that it was the queen's mother, he hurriedly said: "The minister and the little girl are waiting for the queen's orders at any time." ”

Liu Mengyan sighed in her heart: her father, she has already seen through it.

"Ruoyan is really fortunate to have three lives, and she is worried about Queen Lao, and she is waiting for the queen to summon her at any time." Liu Mengyan had no choice but to echo.

After the five princes finished toasting here, Liu Sanye took Liu Mengyan to other tables to toast the guests one by one.

When Liu Mengyan came to Guo Yuqi's side, Guo Yuqi gave her congratulatory gift to Liu Mengyan and shook her head gently.

Liu Mengyan looked at Guo Yuqi's appearance, and she never saw Guo Zitao's figure, so she probably knew it in her heart.

However, she is not qualified to blame Guo Zitao, this matter is risky, and she has no right to ask Guo Zitao to take risks for herself.
