Chapter 46: The Marriage Gift

Bai Xiaoqi stood there, feeling everyone's curious and expectant gazes.

I saw her smile lightly, and suddenly there was a bright peony flower in her hand, which she had nothing.

Everyone was not too surprised to see this, this is the Imperial Garden, and peony flowers are everywhere, maybe she picked them in advance.

But the next scene made everyone applaud, only to see the peony flower in Bai Xiaoqi's hand suddenly burning, turning into a cluster of flower-shaped flames burning violently on Bai Xiaoqi's palm.

Bai Xiaoqi calmly let the flame in his palm burn, and then suddenly threw it into the air, and the flame grew in the wind, instantly growing to more than a foot long.

Everyone was frightened when they saw this, and said in their hearts: If this is not well controlled, don't fall and hurt us. Those who were close seemed to be able to feel the fiery temperature of the flame, I don't know if they were frightened or baked, and the few people who were close all had sweat on their foreheads, and they kept wiping there.

Seeing this, Xiao Qi raised his hand and waved, and the fireball in the air exploded, sparks shot in all directions, and everyone was so frightened that they all trembled when they saw this, and they instantly closed their eyes and didn't dare to look at it, and some even lay directly under the table in front of them. Just when everyone thought that Mars would burn themselves, they heard an exclamation - "Look! ”

When everyone heard this, they cautiously looked for the sound, only to see that the firelight in the sky instantly turned into colorful butterflies, scattering in all directions, and some even fell on the queen and Zhang Guifei, who saw them rejoice.

Bai Xiaoqi saw that everyone liked butterflies very much, smiled with satisfaction, and did not end there, but recalled all the butterflies with a wave of his hand.

Some people who just wanted to reach out to touch the butterfly watched the butterfly fly away, a little surprised and a little lost at the same time, and looked at Bai Xiaoqi with a blank face, not knowing what she meant.

All the butterflies flew in front of Bai Xiaoqi's body one after another, slowly condensing into a half-human-tall beast shape. After a while, I saw that the beast-like thing was shining with golden light, and at the same time, the butterflies around it suddenly collapsed and disappeared.

At this time, I saw a divine beast that was white and flawless, exuding holy brilliance, appeared in front of everyone.

I saw that the divine beast, with a lion's head and sheep's horns, and a lock of goatee on its chin, was majestic and solemn, and as soon as it appeared, it walked towards the emperor step by step.

Everyone looked at this divine beast, and they didn't know whether it was true or not, they all secretly swallowed their saliva, held their breath and stared, and they didn't dare to come out.

"Divine Beast Bai Ze?" The knowledgeable official exclaimed in a low voice, although the voice was small, but it also made everyone hear it clearly in this silent moment.

Mu Yunzhen, as an emperor, was a little courageous, looking at Bai Ze, the divine beast walking towards him step by step, standing calmly, looking down at Bai Ze who was walking towards him with an aura of not being angry and arrogant.

The concubines on both sides looked at the majestic and solemn beast, and they were a little scared, looking at it nervously, for fear that it would suddenly rush to the crowd to give themselves a bite.

At this time, Bai Ze had already walked in front of Mu Yunzhen, only to see his two front legs suddenly kneeling on the ground, bowing to Mu Yunzhen, and said: "The emperor has a thousand years, and his life is boundless." ”

After speaking, Bai Ze turned into a little flower. The light dissipates and disappears.

Mu Yun was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Good, good, good!" Come on, reward this Bai Xiaoqi! ”

Hearing the emperor laughing, everyone was able to come back to their senses, and everyone present was amazed and sighed that her skills were extraordinary.

An official said to the emperor: "I heard that Bai Ze has always been unparalleled in wisdom, can reach the feelings of all things, and can also seek good fortune and avoid evil, if there is a Ming monarch in the world, it will come to the edict of the Emperor of Heaven, this is an auspicious beast, and now Bai Ze is kneeling in front of His Majesty, it can be seen that my Majesty is really the first Ming Jun in the world, and the national industry of my Night River Country will be immortal for thousands of generations!" ”

The rest of the people also echoed when they heard this, and for a while, the sound of slapping horses was endless, and Bai Xiaoqi felt embarrassed in his heart.

"Okay, it's just an illusion, don't you think it's a bit too much?" Although the emperor was very thick-skinned and liked to hear others praise him, he couldn't stand being praised by his own ministers now, so he reprimanded him angrily.

When the people below heard this, they knew that they had been slapped on the horse's hooves, so they hurriedly silenced them, and did not dare to say anything more.

"Che'er, I like this gift you gave me very much. You've been reluctant to be close to me all these years, but now you're grown up and sensible. Mu Yunzhen looked at Mu Yunche, who was drinking "drunk" there, and looked pleased, at this time, the "drunk" son was also a little more cute, and he was no longer the hateful appearance of the past.

"It's good that my father is happy, and my son didn't pick him up in vain." Mu Yunche sat there with the wine bottle, bowed slightly to Mu Yunzhen, and then said indifferently.

Mu Yunzhen was not angry when he saw this, and continued to speak: "Che'er has been lonely since she was a child, and I am busy with political affairs, so I am flawless by your side to take care of you, now that I think about it, you are now an alcoholic, most likely because no one disciplines you!" ”

"If you go back to your father's words, your sons don't feel lonely, and your father is busy with government affairs, so you don't have to pay attention to your sons." Mu Yunche replied respectfully. But he sneered in his heart: "I have been lonely and helpless since I was a child, all thanks to you, you have never paid attention to me since I was a child, so that I almost died in the hands of those poisonous women in your harem several times, and now I am here to say that someone needs to discipline me?" I'm here to see if you're going to send the daughter of that family to discipline me today!" ”

"How can you ignore it, now that you have reached the age of a weak crown, you should have started a family a long time ago, your two royal brothers are already fathers, but you are still alone, how can I rest assured!" Mu Yunzhen said with a look of regret.

"There are not even many people in your mansion now, you see which prince will be like you, living so lonely, it's time to set a family business for you, save you from drinking all day long, don't do business! Today, I will make decisions for you and choose your princess who can be cured. ”

Mu Yunzhen didn't wait for his son to say anything, so he said to the princes and ministers: "Which of you is willing to form this family affair with me?" ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and they didn't want to marry their daughter or granddaughter to this powerless, alcoholic King Yong'an.

Because of Yong'an Wang Mu Yunche's "good reputation", all the maids and ladies lowered their heads for a while, for fear that the emperor would see them and let them become princesses of Yong'an.

At this moment, Mu Yunche opened his mouth: "Father, the son already has a beloved, so don't bother with the father!" ”

When Mu Yunzhen heard this, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "I don't know whose girl it is, so lucky?" ”

"Back to my father's words, my sons don't like women, I like young men!" Without waiting for everyone's reaction, he pulled Xiao Hachi, who was standing aside and hadn't reacted yet, into his arms and kissed his thin lips!

Mu Yunche had already heard of Xiaoba's good things about Longyang, and now he simply used him as a shield.

Xiao Ba, who was lying in Mu Yunche's arms, was startled by his sudden move, and stood on the spot for a while, letting him kiss him.

When the emperor saw such a scene, he was furious and said angrily: "Come on, pull the person in King Yong'an's arms out and cut it down!" ”

Mu Yunche had already sent Xiaoba away at this time, only to see that he was completely drunk, his eyes were wide with anger, and he said in a cold voice: "Who dare I see?" If you kill this one, I will go to find the next one, there are thousands of men in the world, and my father has killed them all? ”

Seeing this, everyone was silent, and said in their hearts: "This King Yong'an probably really angered the emperor today, it was a good thing to give marriage, but he made such a fuss, no one dared to marry his daughter to him, and it is estimated that the emperor will also feel that he has lost face!" This has fallen out of favor in the first place, and it is estimated that it is even worse now! ”

When Mu Yunzhen heard this, he frowned, held back the anger in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, "Che'er, are you still hating me?" ”

"Yes, so what?" Mu Yunche didn't want to make it too easy to give marriage, so he would do this.

Since the emperor said that he chose a princess for him, in order to balance the forces behind Mu Yunqing and Mu Yunjing, the officials who married must have a certain amount of power in the court, so as to have the ability to support him and compete with the two.

Only by pretending to hate him and pretending to refuse will he let down his guard because of guilt.

Mu Yunzhen's eyes were lost for a while when he heard this, and then he didn't say anything, and turned to Yuan Xiu: "Teacher Yuan Xiu, I remember that you have a granddaughter named Yuan Bao, right?" ”

Yuan Xiu didn't expect the emperor to take a fancy to his granddaughter, and he was suddenly shocked in his heart, secretly complaining bitterly, hurriedly got up, knelt down in front of the emperor, and said helplessly: "The emperor is so loved, the minister is afraid, the king of Yong'an is dignified, the heart is pure, and the minister is also willing to be the good of Qin and Jin, but unfortunately my granddaughter is only ten years old this year, with a stubborn character and no talent, I am afraid that she is not worthy of the position of this princess." ”

"I'm a little younger, but I'll always grow up, I'm stubborn, I can ask a few more grandmothers to teach her, it's not a problem, I see that this family matter is so decided, tomorrow I will ask someone to prepare a dowry, and let Qin Tianjian pick a good day for them!" Mu Yunzhen didn't give Yuan Xiu the slightest chance to refute, so he decided on this family business.

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, they also felt that the emperor was in a bit too anxious, just mentioned the marriage, and wanted to marry the granddaughter of Yuan Xiu's family to King Yong'an, which is obviously still a child, and at the same time, they all feel sorry for Yuan Xiu, and their granddaughter is about to marry a good man with Longyang!

Yuan Xiu had no choice but to kneel on the ground to thank him, who was originally in good spirits, seemed to be more than ten years old at that moment.

Yuan Xiu knew that the emperor was trying to balance the power of several princes, and also to weaken the power of the queen and their Yuan family in the court, and the only girl left in his family was this granddaughter Yuanbao, who had not yet reached the end of time, and the emperor did this to keep him neutral.

If he helped the queen, his granddaughter and son's family would be implicated, and their Yuan family might also be wiped out because of this. Only by not helping each other and waiting to see what happens can we protect them.

And Mu Yunche also stood still, never dreaming that the emperor would marry Yuan Xiu's granddaughter to himself, but after a little thought, he understood the emperor's intentions, and sighed secretly in his heart: "This is really going to pull yourself into the water!" ”

But thinking about it again, she is already twenty years old, and Yuan Xiu's granddaughter Yuanbao is only ten years old, and no matter how old she is, she will almost become her father.

It's a pity that Chrysostom has been opened, and no one can change it, so they can only accept it silently.
