In the shadow of the lights, Kang Yan turned her head, the breeze blew, the red lanterns hanging under the porch swayed in the wind, and the lights shone on her face uncertainly, making her eyebrows more and more picturesque. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Kang Yan looked at the man opposite, about eighteen or nineteen years old, tall and dignified, but there was a faint look of frivolity between his eyebrows, and he looked at Kang Yan's eyes full of scrutiny, as if he was looking at the goods sold at a price.

Kang Yeon couldn't help but frown.

This man obviously knew himself, otherwise he would not have called himself the county lord when he opened his mouth, but Kang Yan was sure that he didn't know him.

Besides, there are all women here, and the men are drinking in the attic in front of them, and the two floors are facing each other, although the distance is very close, and you can even hear the loud voices on the other side, but no one will deliberately run to the women's side at this time.

"It's a little stuffy inside, but when you come out to breathe, you'll go in." Kang Yan lightly blessed the person who came, and turned her head to prepare to enter.

The man stretched out his arm and blocked Kang Yeon's path.

"I have long heard that the county lord Lan Xinhui is pretty, and it is fate to meet him, why should the county lord rush to go, in Xia Dong Xu, he is the third son of the Marquis of Zhenning, I don't know if I am fortunate to invite the county lord to enjoy the song together?" The man bowed slightly and opened his mouth with a smile.

Dong Xu? Zhenninghou? A hint of surprise flashed in Kang Yeon's eyes.

The Queen Mother is the sister of the Marquis of Zhenning, and the one in front of her must be the nephew of the Queen Mother's relatives, right? No wonder he dares to walk around at will in the palace.

Before Kang Yan came to the capital, the eldest princess Fuyun specially told her and Xiao Jiu about the families of high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital, although she didn't remember it completely, but. The Dong family of Zhenning Hou still has an impression.

Dong Xu stopped himself, what did he want to do?

Dong Xu restrained the frivolity in his eyes and put on the appearance of a beautiful son. looked at Kang Yan opposite affectionately, he was already good-looking. He was very confident, as long as he put on this appearance, the woman opposite would definitely not refuse him.

This is a tried and tested method in the party.

"I'm sorry, I still have something to do, if Dong Sangongzi is interested, you might as well enjoy the song here, I'll go in first." Kang Yan bypassed Dong Xu's arm and entered the attic without looking back.

Dong Xu was stunned, did his charm fail? How could anyone turn him down?

Interesting. It seems that this Lanxin County Lord is more interesting than he imagined.

Originally, the mentality of just being ordered by the Queen Mother and his father to complete the errand was indispensable, so Dong Xu, who was living under the adjustment, suddenly felt a sense of interest in his heart.

She didn't look at her eyes at her just now.

Dong Xu couldn't help but have a desire to conquer in his heart, perhaps, it was not such an unbearable thing to obey the Queen Mother's arrangement to marry the Lord of Lanxin.

Kang Yeon returned to the building and quietly sat down in her seat.

Chen Kexuan next to her asked her in a low voice, "Where have you been?" Why haven't you been back for so long? ”

Kang Yeon smiled. made a move to go out to breathe, but secretly wondered in his heart whether the meeting with Dong Xu just now was secretly arranged by someone or a coincidence.

If someone deliberately arranged it, the purpose should be her.

Suddenly there was a commotion from the attic opposite. Kang Yan looked up and saw the figures on the opposite floor longingly, and most of them stood up. Start walking.

"It's the emperor who is going to bring hundreds of officials to pay homage to the Queen Mother."

Kang Yeon noticed that the opening scene on the middle stage had been sung.

The emperor led the officials to the high platform in the middle courtyard to prepare to pay homage to the queen mother.

The Queen Mother sat under the porch on the second floor. Prepare for the pilgrimage.

The women were still standing inside the building, looking down at the scene outside.

The second floor is slightly higher than the high platform in the courtyard. You can see the scene from the outside.

The emperor saluted first, and then King An, and the emperor only had these two heirs.

The birthday gift given by King An to the Queen Mother is an old sculpture of Shouxian more than half a person high, Shouxian steps on the lotus seat, oblong face, upright facial features, soft and delicate lines, slender neck, elegant demeanor, and the intricate folds of the dress on the body are carved vividly.

When Qi Chenjing lifted the silk covered with the sculpture and revealed the sculpture inside, the audience was in an uproar and there were many discussions.

"Hey, what is this? It looks like a clay sculpture, isn't it? ”

"It's not a clay sculpture, you see that the luster on the Shou Xian's body is warm and bright, and the clay doesn't have that luster at all."

"Yes, it's not mud, it seems to be jade."

"Isn't that right? Where can jade be carved like this? It's just so beautiful. ”

"Why not, since jade can be carved into a jade pendant, it can naturally be carved like this."

"How come we haven't seen jade carved into a human form? How did King An come up with it? ”

Qi Chenjing naturally heard the discussion of the officials below, and a smile flashed in his eyes, what he wanted was such a shocking effect.

He raised his eyes, and sure enough, he saw that it was the emperor, and his eyes staring at the Shouxian sculpture were also slightly moved, obviously he also saw that it was carved from jade, not clay.

Qi Chenjing saluted to the Queen Mother on the second floor, and said loudly: "The Queen Mother, the minister has been grounded in the house for half a year, remembering that the Queen Mother and the Emperor have been very kind to the minister, and the minister has nothing to repay, so he personally carved this longevity jade carving as a birthday gift to the Queen Mother, and I wish the Queen Mother a long life." ”

The warmth and softness of the jade carving, under the light shadow, Shouxian smiled, and saw the inexplicable comfort and calmness in people's hearts, Rao is queen mother no longer likes Qi Chenjing, but she can't resist the beauty of jade carving.

The jade is carved out, the previous sculptures of the beams are made of clay, and some places are made of clay, and the color of the clay sculpture is not bright enough, and after a long time, there is no luster.

But the jade carving offered by Qi Chenjing knew at a glance that it was not comparable to the clay sculpture at all, because it was not at the same grade at all.

Qi Chenjing's understatement caused an uproar among everyone.

"It was carved by King An himself, how can he carve jade?"

"The longevity fairy jade carving made by himself for the Queen Mother, King An is really filial."

..........

The Queen Mother listened to the discussion behind her, the corners of her mouth moved, and she tried her best to hide her love. He said lightly: "Okay, okay." King An has a heart. ”

The emperor on the high platform couldn't help but step forward and carefully look at the Shouxian jade carving. After a while, it was finally confirmed that it was really a jade carving, a vivid jade carving.

How did Qi Chenjing do it?

How could he do this? Or is there a craftsman in his house who can make jade carving?

If there is a jade carving, there will be no need to use clay sculpture in the future.

Since Qi Chenjing can carve longevity immortals, he can naturally carve other things, if he has this jade carving, Daliang can also sell it to neighboring countries in the future, making a lot of money for the treasury.

Many thoughts passed through the emperor's heart in an instant.

It's no wonder that he is tempted, the beams and even the surrounding neighboring countries are all clay sculptures or pottery sculptures. I've heard of jade carving before, but no one has actually seen it.

I heard that there was a jade carving craftsman in the previous dynasty, but no one really saw it, and I don't know if it's true or not.

Qi Chenjing saluted the emperor again, "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to dedicate the technology of this jade carving, and also ask the emperor to set up a special manufacturing workshop, and the minister will personally teach the craftsman the jade carving technology to make the best jade carving for my beam." ”

The calculation in my heart suddenly became a reality. The emperor was a little stunned.

It took a while to react, and he asked Qi Chenjing with some uncertainty, "King An, is this true?" ”

How could Qi Chenjing be so good. Willing to take the initiative to donate jade carving technology? Could it be that he has some intentions?

A trace of vigilance suddenly rose in the emperor's heart.

Qi Chenjing nodded, the expression on his face was solemn, "Of course." What is the use of this jade carving technique for one of the ministers? Teach it to the craftsmen and make the best jade carving for my beams. It is the honor of my brother to win glory for my great beam. ”

The emperor fell silent. After a moment, he suddenly changed the topic, "How can King An make jade carving?" ”

Qi Chenjing grew up in Pingbei Houfu, Pingbei Hou Su Jin should not have taught him to learn the technique of jade carving, right? If it was taught by the Su family, it was impossible for the Su family to not know anything about it.

Qi Chenjing bowed down and replied: "Brother Chen used to love to play around, often travel outside, this is one year when Brother Chen went to the south to play saved a seriously ill old man, it was he who kicked the skill of Brother Chen's jade carving, but unfortunately after Brother Chen learned, the teacher smiled Jiuquan." ”

He said with a look of regret and suffocation.

There was no flaw in the answer, and Kang Yan, who had been tensing up on the second floor and waiting to hear Qi Chenjing's answer, breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that the emperor would suspect Qi Chenjing of something.

The emperor frowned, although he didn't believe Qi Chenjing's words, but he couldn't find any flaws.

Besides, Qi Chenjing said that he was willing to sacrifice the technology of jade carving, so he had to express it.

The emperor laughed twice, "King An's heart, I remember, King An is a hero of the court, and I will be rewarded." ”

King An offered jade carving skills, everyone present was a witness, and the emperor had to praise Qi Chenjing in front of everyone, and promised to reward Qi Chenjing.

The emperor originally said in passing, after all, in front of the real ministers, Qi Chenjing had meritorious jade carving skills, so he naturally wanted to open his mouth to reward him.

As for what to reward and how to reward it, that's a matter for later.

If he didn't say that now, it would chill the hearts of the ministers, so he said it casually.

Qi Chenjing said quickly: "The courtiers don't want to be rewarded, but I want to take advantage of the Queen Mother's birthday today to touch the joy of the Queen Mother, and ask the Queen Mother and the Emperor to fulfill a wish for the courtiers." ”

The emperor was stunned, he didn't expect Qi Chenjing to hit the snake with the stick.

He just said it casually, but Qi Chenjing pushed the boat down the river and continued.

"What kind of wish, you say, today is the queen mother's birthday, if you want to touch the queen mother's joy, you have to ask the queen mother's consent." Afraid that Qi Chenjing would make any embarrassing requests, the emperor left a way out for himself in advance, and hinted at Qi Chenjing with the Queen Mother's birthday, today is the Queen Mother's birthday, and it is a festive day, if it is not a happy event, don't open your mouth.

"It is precisely because it is the birthday of the Queen Mother that the younger brother will deliberately pick this day to bring it up, and ask the Queen Mother to fulfill it, so that the ministers will also be touched by your joy." Qi Chenjing suddenly bowed to the Queen Mother on the second floor.

The Queen Mother pursed her lips, in front of all the courtiers, she couldn't show her disgust for Qi Chenjing, after all, he was the only sibling brother in the nominal emperor.

Moreover, Qi Chenjing had just presented a rare jade carving as a birthday gift, and she herself praised Qi Chenjing for her heart, and the emperor rewarded Qi Chenjing first, and the Queen Mother could not ignore Qi Chenjing's words no matter what.

"King An, if you have anything, just say it." The Queen Mother said with a smile on her face, "Speaking of which, you and the emperor are close brothers. If there is anything, you can come to the emperor at any time. ”

There was a slight dissatisfaction between the words, suggesting that Qi Chenjing was deliberately at her birthday banquet. Taking advantage of the time of the birthday gift to make unreasonable demands.

Qi Chenjing smiled, as if he didn't hear the dissatisfaction in the Queen Mother's words.

"Today's Queen Mother's birthday. When the minister came to the palace and saw the emperor and the queen, all the concubines were in love, and the queen mother enjoyed the joy of family, and she was really envious in her heart, so she thought about the joy of the mother. ”

When Qi Chenjing said this, he paused slightly, and his face showed a hint of shyness.

"Chen is twenty years old this year, and he is still alone. As the saying goes, if you have money or not, it is better to marry a daughter-in-law for the New Year, and seeing that the New Year is coming, the minister wants to ask the queen mother and the emperor to give the minister a marriage. Qi Chenjing said and saluted again.

The courtiers below looked at each other, revealing their meaning.

King An has been back in Beijing for more than a year, and it is said that he is the only prince of Daliang, and he should be the object of many people's marriage, but when he just returned to Beijing, the situation was unclear. And his name has not been on the royal jade for a long time, and many people are beating drums in their hearts, maintaining a wait-and-see attitude, naturally no one wants to marry An Wangfu.

And Qi Chenjing is the prince. His marriage must be agreed by the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

But the queen mother and the emperor don't know if they are too busy or deliberately ignored, Qi Chenjing has recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors for a year, and no one even mentioned his marriage.

This drag has dragged on until now.

A hint of surprise flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes. Why did he never expect Qi Chenjing to make such a request?

Could it be that he has a crush on which girl? The Queen Mother's heart thought quickly.

The emperor was also very surprised, giving marriage?

At the beginning of Macheng Province. He thought that Qi Chenjing was dead, in order to deceive the Eagle Guard Command Token in the hands of the eldest princess Fuyun. He named Qi Chenjing as the king of An, and promised not to interfere in Qi Chenjing's family affairs, but later Qi Chenjing did not die, but designed to deceive him, and Yingwei did not get it, and his original request not to interfere in Qi Chenjing's marriage naturally could not be counted.

It's just that he never wanted to marry Qi Chenjing, because he didn't want Qi Chenjing to help in one more business.

Qi Chenjing is the prince and his only sibling, and his princess should naturally be a famous lady, from a family of eunuchs or a noble family in the capital.

No matter which family it is, marrying Qi Chenjing is equivalent to standing on the same line as King An's Mansion, and Qi Chenjing naturally wants one more door to help.

Besides, for the sake of face, he can't casually refer to a broken family girl to be the princess of Qi Chenjing, even if he agrees, the clan elders in the Qi family clan will probably have opinions.

After all, the first prince did not have many heirs, and in his generation, the heirs were even rarer, he was already twenty-one years old, and there was only one child under his knees, the eldest prince.

If Qi Chenjing chooses a princess from a small family and destroys the bloodline inherited by Emperor Taizu, it will definitely arouse the opposition of the clan elders.

Therefore, the emperor and the queen mother deliberately ignored Qi Chenjing's marriage and never mentioned it.

They didn't expect Qi Chenjing to mention it himself.

Now, they can't pretend to be confused.

The queen mother glanced at the emperor below, laughed twice, deliberately teased Qi Chenjing, and made a loving look, "Hey, after growing up, I actually know that I miss my daughter-in-law." ”

Qi Chenjing looked a little embarrassed, "Please also ask the mother to fulfill it." ”

He said it shyly, but he didn't know that Kang Yeon's nervous palms upstairs had a thin layer of sweat.

Qi Chenjing has always said that she doesn't have to worry about their marriage, he already has a proposition, Kang Yan thought that he was already secretly arranged, but he didn't expect him to say it directly at the queen mother's birthday banquet.

After thinking about it for a while, Kang Yan understood the reason why Qi Chenjing did this.

The queen mother dislikes him, the emperor is jealous of him, no matter which one it is, he will not give Qi Chenjing too many opportunities to speak on weekdays.

The family affair was not planned for him.

It is not appropriate for the court to say that family affairs, but in private, Qi Chenjing has no chance to enter the palace alone, even if he enters the palace, the emperor and the queen mother will not agree to his family affairs.

Only on the occasion of the public school, in front of all the courtiers, Qi Chenjing put it forward openly, and the queen mother and the emperor would not ignore Qi Chenjing's request for the sake of face.

Sometimes. What seems to be the most complicated thing is often the most simple and straightforward way to be effective.

Qi Chenjing frankly and fearlessly proposed a lifelong event. did not complain about the queen mother and the emperor in the slightest, but revealed a lot of meaning.

A twenty-year-old prince. The only two princes of the first emperor, the queen mother and the emperor did not choose a princess for them, and it was spread out, but I am afraid that the people will be able to discuss it tomorrow.

It's the imperial history, and you can also take this opportunity to play two books.

I just don't know what he's going to say next? Will you just mention your name? Kang Yan's hands in her sleeves were clenched into fists, and she subconsciously looked at the eldest princess Fuyun.

But seeing that the eldest princess Fuyun's eyebrows were furrowed, and there was also a trace of surprise on her face, obviously she didn't know Qi Chenjing's plan.

Kang Yeon's heart couldn't help but become even more worried.

But I heard the Queen Mother ask with a smile: "It's also the negligence of the mourning family, I always feel that you are still young." Well, it's time to give you a marriage, anyway, which girl do you like, let the mourning family see if she is qualified to be my royal daughter-in-law. ”

Having said that, the Queen Mother did not have the slightest smile in her eyes, and named Qi Chenjing even if she had a crush, she should be asked to see if she could be the royal daughter-in-law, and she said that she could give marriage.

The emperor, who had been staring at Qi Chenjing closely, breathed a sigh of relief.

The Queen Mother can say what she said just now. He couldn't say that the Queen Mother was an elder and Qi Chenjing's nominal mother, and she, as a mother-in-law, was not optimistic about her daughter-in-law. Naturally, he couldn't marry Qi Chenjing.

It's just that Qi Chenjing really has a favorite candidate? The emperor's eyelids drooped, hiding the coldness in his eyes. When he looked up at Qi Chenjing again, he only smiled. seemed to be very happy for Qi Chenjing, "Let's talk about it." Brother Huang, who do you have a crush on? Let the queen mother also check for you. ”

Who knew that Qi Chenjing scratched his head, still looking embarrassed, "The younger brother has only returned to the capital for a short time, and he doesn't know the situation in the capital, not to mention the girl who is raised in the boudoir, the younger brother just wants a daughter-in-law, and he doesn't particularly fancy anyone." ”

The Queen Mother and the Emperor were stunned and looked at each other.

came up to ask for marriage like this, didn't he fall in love with a girl from a certain family?

The Queen Mother didn't believe it, "I really don't have a girl I like?" ”

Qi Chenjing shook his head firmly, "The minister has been grounded in the mansion for half a year, and he hasn't even gone out of the door, where can I go to see other people's girls?" ”

As he spoke, his voice became lower and lower, "Besides, there is a baby in the minister's mansion, which was picked up by the minister and the guards went to Macheng Mansion to pick it up, and that child also needs a mother, otherwise it will ......."

I have long heard that there is an extra boy in King An's mansion, but it has not been confirmed, some people say that King An picked it up from outside, some people say that it was the concubine of King An when he was in Macheng Mansion, and some say that it was rescued by the guards of King An's Mansion.

There are different opinions, and no one knows what the truth is.

didn't expect Qi Chenjing to announce this matter personally.

It seems that the rumors that this child was born by King An's concubine should be true.

The courtiers below and the women standing upstairs all silently took a step back.

Although the position of the princess is very attractive, but they already have an eldest son when they enter the door, which is not a good thing, who is willing to be a mother when she enters the door?

Moreover, having the eldest son is the most likely to mess with the family.

Upstairs, Kang Yan breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, although she was also surprised that Qi Chenjing told Heng'er about it, but she also knew that he was deliberately blurring many people's cognition.

Heng'er was obviously brought back by Meng Zihan from the mall, but the mall and Macheng Mansion are in the same direction, and it is said that it was brought back by Macheng Mansion, and many people will subconsciously think that it is Qi Chenjing's eldest son.

After the queen mother and the emperor experienced the initial surprise, they were very happy in their hearts, they had the eldest son before they got married, and the girl from the noble family was still willing to marry Qi Chenjing?

What a stupid, a hint of ridicule appeared in the emperor's eyes.

"Since King An doesn't have a favorite girl, does that mean let the queen mother choose one for you among the girls who entered the palace today to celebrate her birthday?" The corners of the emperor's mouth were hooked, and he asked with a smile.

The Queen Mother glanced back from the corner of her eyes, and quickly thought about whether the person who entered the palace today to celebrate her birthday had a hidden illness in her family, or who did not look good and had no family background?

Everywhere she looked, she saw that the wives all pulled their daughters and subconsciously took a step back, hiding their daughters behind them, and a happy look appeared in the eyes of the Queen Mother.

Since it is a marriage, it is natural to ask the woman's opinion first, if the person he chooses personally refuses Qi Chenjing in person, then his face will be lost.

Just thinking about that picture makes me feel extremely relieved.

The Queen Mother was just about to speak, but saw Qi Chenjing bow down and replied: "I originally wanted the Queen Mother to worry about choosing one, but today is the Niangniang's birthday, and it is enough for the minister to be touched by your joy, how dare you bother the Niangniang to worry about the fatigue herself, so the minister has an idea, let God choose a princess for the minister." ”

Heaven to choose the princess? So how do you choose? The crowd was confused. (To be continued.) )
