Chapter 180: The Summer Feast (2)

"Good!" To Dongguo Chang's surprise, the emperor was not angry, but laughed: "Okay, Lord Dongguo, you have a good daughter, with such courage and persistence, you are worthy of being a child of the Dongguo family, and you have ambition, since this is the case——"

"Father!" When Beichen heard this, he felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly called the emperor.

"Beichen, what's wrong?"

"Erchen suddenly thought that the mother concubine had warned the son, saying that the son-in-law had a serious illness when he was young, and there was nothing he could do to invite the palace doctor, and then he invited a Jianghu doctor to cure the son's serious illness, but the Jianghu doctor told the mother that the son-in-law had the life of the Tiansha Lone Star in his body, and it was not suitable to marry in this life, otherwise he would go against his fate, whether it was the people around him or the son-in-law himself, he would be seriously harmed!" Beichen can't care about anything else at this time, it seems that the emperor will not let them go easily, so he has to push away all possibilities first.

"Oh? Is it? The emperor frowned, but there was a dangerous message in his eyes: "Sick when you are young? The Lone Star? Why don't I know? Beichen, you didn't deliberately arrange it for disobedience! ”

"Father, this matter is true, the sons don't dare to deceive, the sons just don't want to hurt the people around them!"

"How can you believe the words of the Jianghu doctor. I see that the daughter of the Dongguo family has a straightforward and strong temperament, and her appearance is also good, not to mention her family background, but she is very right with you, where will there be the influence of that evil lone star. ”

Beichen glanced sideways at Nadong Guo Huashuang, it seemed that the emperor had made up his mind, and he couldn't affect his decision by saying such words as Tiansha Lone Star, and there was no other way to think of it for a while.

"In that case—" The emperor saw that Beichen didn't speak, and he expected that he was also out of line, so he planned to directly announce the marriage.

"Father!" Beichen really had no choice, but he couldn't directly receive the emperor's order to marry Nadong Guo Huashuang, so he had to kneel and move two steps forward, facing the emperor: "Erchen has already sworn to the royal gods, except for the love of his heart in this life, he will not bring others as companions!" Erchen didn't want to wronged the Dongguo girl, and he didn't want to break his oath, so Erchen had nothing but to ask his father to fulfill it. ”

When the emperor heard this, he seemed to be very touched, and in an instant, a figure suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, thinking that these sons of his were still too young, and the love of children was never something that royal people could enjoy, and how many people would be able to fulfill such an oath? He thought that he could make arrangements for a few of them, and at today's banquet, he specially instructed the ministers to bring their daughters here, just to see their qualifications, and choose some of their favorite ones to marry them, one is to tie up and disperse the forces of each family, so that they will have less disputes with each other, and the other is to consider the royal cause, but they don't want one by one. Since you don't want any, then just do it! I hope they swear so much now, and they won't end up like him, and end up with nothing.

Slowly got up and came to Beichen's side to help him up, the emperor was close to his ear, and said earnestly: "If you don't like it, just tell me directly, you don't have to be like this, I won't force you." ”

"Okay, since Beichen has this vow, I won't force it. Miss Dongguo, you are a good girl, Beichen's heart is not mature enough, I am afraid that this matter will not be able to satisfy you. After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at the lost Dongguo Huashuang and said.

"The courtiers know that their qualifications are not good, and they are not worthy of the Fifth Highness, Emperor Xie understands the courtiers!" Although Dongguo Huashuang was a little unwilling in her heart, this matter was so big, she was rejected by the five princes like that, and in the future in the imperial capital, what kind of face would she have to live. But if you are not willing to return, you still have to say all the words on this face.

"Shen Ye, Twilight, you two won't be like Beichen, you have secretly made some oath or something, if you have, you might as well say it now, I can accept the idea that I worry about you." The emperor put his hands behind his back and didn't want to say any more.

"Your Majesty, Weichen just wants to share his worries for the emperor, and if he doesn't have any ideas for the time being, the emperor doesn't have to think about his younger brothers!" Bei Shenye got a good opportunity and said.

"Okay, if Jingzhong has this heart, I will rest assured!" The emperor patted Bei Shenye's shoulder as he spoke, and the reminder was self-evident.

"Father, Erchen had a marriage contract with the young lady of Moxia Villa before, but three years ago, there was an accident in Moxia Villa, and the person who had a marriage contract with Erchen disappeared, but not long ago Erchen found that person and asked his father to give him a marriage!" Bei Duqing was reluctant to talk about this matter on this occasion, but since the emperor asked, he might as well say his demands.

"Mortar Villa? Is the person you have a marriage contract with that Tang Juan girl? "The emperor's memory was suddenly awakened, many years ago, the owner of the Moxia Mountain Villa had brought treasures into the palace, cured his angina, as a reward, and Tang Juan, who had a good time at that time, made a marriage contract with Bei Duqing, so many years have passed, this matter has been forgotten a little. And this matter was also mentioned to him by Lou Wange before.

"Exactly!"

"Well, I remember, I promised this, you have also reached the age, and marriage is a must, so that your wedding with that Tang Juan girl will be on the same day as Liuyun and Dongfang Xiu, double happiness is coming, and it is a good omen!" The emperor was quite relieved, this matter of the Northern Twilight Qing Dynasty was relatively smooth for him so far.

"Lord Si Li, if Qin Tiansi chooses a good day, the marriage of these two princes will be handed over to your Si Li Mansion, but you have to be careful and meticulous." The emperor continued to command.

"Weichen takes the order!" The celebrant who was sitting not far away stood up and answered.

"My son thanked my father!"

"Well, the matter between the two of you is solved, I can rest assured, now that the palace has few heirs, there are only a few of you, the ninth prince and the tenth prince are still young, and the emperor and grandson are only one of the old family. As princes, you all have to think about the royal cause! The emperor was carried by Gonggong Hai step by step towards the palace, and said as he walked, the problem of heirs is indeed the biggest problem now, the royal tree, the lack of branches and leaves, he doesn't know how much time he has left, if he leaves this northern moon to them, there is no heir to inherit, it will be a huge problem.

"Yes."

"Alright, let's go on, I'll see what new things you have left." The emperor returned to his seat and greeted the ministers.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the emperor's intention, it seems that he will not mention the marriage again, and they no longer have to worry about who their daughter will be given to marry.

The other few are different, although they have escaped the catastrophe of marriage, but they know that this is all a trivial matter, the banquet is halfway through, and nothing has come out yet, how is this possible, during the period of preparing for the summer banquet, several families are stumbling openly and secretly, wishing that there was a problem with the piece prepared by anyone, how could this banquet be so smooth? I'm afraid that the real feast has not yet begun!

The emperor gave an order, the song and dance reopened, and the entire Fanghua Hall became lively again, as if nothing had happened just now, but secretly, some people's thoughts became more and more obvious. Beiliuyun and Dongfang Xiufang were given marriage, but the mood was unsatisfactory at this time, Beiliuyun needless to say, Dongfang Xiu's mind he has always known, this is also the point he avoids the most, now that he has received the emperor's order, Dongfang Xiu has to marry if he doesn't marry, and it also makes him embarrassed, thinking about it, a person automatically jumped out of his mind, and he woke up suddenly: No, you must find a way, you can't marry Dongfang Xiu!

Dongfang Xiu was even more aggrieved, originally when her father told her that she would be given marriage, she was happy and excited, but seeing Beiliuyun's attitude towards her today, and the previous suspicion of her has not been dispelled, she will only be rejected by him in the future, plus, she secretly did those things for Lou Wange-

However, the most worrying thing about this time is the Beishen Night who has been drinking with his head bored, he knows very well that today's banquet will not be so simple, except for a few of them, those people in the secret must also be ready to move. It's just that Haimi didn't tell him the specific action, and he can only worry about it, I don't know what identity and purpose those people will come for, if there is an accident tonight-

With a long sigh, looking at the lively singing and dancing in the field, he fell into deep contemplation-

"Newspaper—"

An inopportune voice suddenly pierced the hall, and as soon as I heard it, something big happened, and I saw a little eunuch hurriedly running to the front of the palace and kneeling, trembling all over his body, and his face was full of panic.

Everyone raised their heads and looked up, good show, is this the beginning-

"What's the matter, in a hurry?" The emperor still didn't change his face, raised his eyebrows, quietly gave Haifeng beside him a look, and asked the little eunuch below.

"Emperor Qiqi, it's not good, the servants took people to the imperial dining room to urge meals, and found that the people in the imperial dining room, they were-"

"What's wrong?"

"All, all dead!"

"What?" As soon as the news came out, the audience panicked, and they didn't expect such a big thing to happen.

"Also, the minions went to inspect the food that had not yet been served, and found that it was poisoned." The little eunuch continued.

"Hiss-" The audience was even more shocked at this time, and hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands, and they all got up and stayed away from those meals, and they didn't know if they were poisoned.

"What's going on?" The emperor stood up and frightened everyone to kneel in a hurry.

"The slave doesn't know, when the slave arrived at the imperial dining room, it was already like that, ask the emperor for forgiveness!"

"Someone! Hurry up and ask the imperial doctors to go to the imperial dining room to investigate, be sure to find out the cause of death of those people, as well as the master of the punishment, you immediately take someone to check the scene to see who poisoned and whether there are any clues. Master Si Bing, you immediately lead someone to block the palace, and if you find a suspicious person, bring it immediately! Rao is sudden and serious, but the emperor still looks calm.

After arranging these, the emperor turned his gaze back to the center of the main hall, not angry and arrogant, everyone who looked at it was terrified, and did not dare to look directly into the emperor's eyes, and finally, the emperor locked his eyes on several people: "You guys, let's talk about it!" What's going on? ”

"Father (Emperor) forgive sins!"
