Chapter 343: Who is the Substitute
"Father, the son has no intention of marrying the princess again!" Although he was angry in his heart, he didn't expect to use this matter to gamble with Yan Nanwan.
The emperor was still smiling, as if he knew that Xue Yan would refuse, but said, "After you have met someone, you will talk about whether you agree or not." ”
Xue Yan took a few steps forward, and before he could say anything about refusal, the emperor spoke again: "Gonggong Cui, let people in." ”
Grandpa Cui bent down and waved his hand.
The ministers of the court and the central government were all curious about what kind of person they were, and they all looked at the door of the main hall from yesterday's morning to this morning.
Only Yan Nanwan still lowered her head, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.
Xue Yan looked at Yan Nanwan, who had been hanging her head, and couldn't wait to go up and slap her awake.
The emperor and Xue Hanmu looked at the indifferent Yan Nanwan, and they were a little curious in their hearts, what did she want to do?
And Yan Nanwan was really thinking carefully about Xue Yan marrying the princess again, she thought carefully about the forces of all parties, weighing the pros and cons, but without considering her own feelings, it was very beneficial for Xue Yan to marry the princess again. What's more, the characters selected by the emperor will naturally not be bad.
If Xue Yan knew Yan Nanwan's thoughts at this time, I am afraid that it would not be as simple as waking her up with a slap, I am afraid that he would pinch her neck and strangle her.
A woman walked in from outside the main hall, and a group of ministers let out a lot of exclamation after seeing her appearance, and even Xue Hanmu was surprised when he saw it.
The woman walked to the center of the hall and saluted in a proper manner: "See the emperor." ”
"Qing'er, hurry up. The emperor smiled, and he was fond of this woman.
"Meng Qing?" Xue Yan looked at her, his brows furrowed, as if he couldn't believe it.
Meng Qing turned to look at Xue Yan and smiled faintly: "Brother Xue Yan, you still remember me!"
Her words vividly expressed the shyness of her youngest daughter's family and the surprise of seeing the old man, and won people's favor in one sentence.
Qin Zhao stood in front of Yan Nanwan, looking at Yan Nanwan still with her head down and immersed in her own world, and the Seventh Prince also looked at her several times, Qin Zhao secretly touched Yan Nanwan.
Yan Nanwan came back to her senses at this time, looked at Qin Zhao, and looked puzzled.
Qin Zhao raised her head, and her eyes motioned for her to look ahead.
Yan Nanwan looked in the direction he pointed, a good-looking woman, but she looked too similar to her. looked at the woman's familiarity with Xue Yan, or rather, she was more like that woman.
No wonder the emperor was so happy, and he generally felt that Xue Yan would definitely agree.
It turned out that he was a substitute for the woman.
The emperor glanced at Yan Nanwan and asked, "What does Lord Yan think of the person I selected?"
A group of ministers immediately looked at Yan Nanwan to see her reaction. Xue Yan and Meng Qing also looked at her, waiting for her to speak.
Yan Nanwan Shi Shiran walked out, stood in the center of the main hall, smiled dignified and polite, and said: "The emperor's election will naturally not be bad." ”
The emperor didn't expect her to be so calm, and she smiled very calmly, without the slightest displeasure and sadness: "Didn't Lord Yan find anything different about Qing'er?"
Yan Nanwan pondered for a while, looked at Meng Qing, stared at her carefully, and after a while, said: "Emperor Qi, Wei Chen is clumsy, and I don't see any difference in this girl. She has sound limbs and a good appearance, no different from an ordinary woman. I don't know what the difference between what the emperor said?"
Her words shocked a group of people.
Although she has always known that Yan Nanwan does not play cards according to common sense, but in the face of such an obvious question from the emperor, she can still answer as a fool who doesn't know what to do, I'm afraid that she is the only one in the entire court.
The emperor was a little angry, but he still endured it and continued: "Didn't Yan Aiqing find that Qing'er and Yan Aiqing looked a little similar?"
Yan Nanwan looked back at Meng Qing again and said, "The emperor's words are wrong. Weichen looks very ordinary, and he is very similar to many women in the capital. And this girl must have a good identity, the emperor should not say that she looks like me, but should say that Weichen looks like this girl. ”
Obviously, Yan Nanwan's words blocked the emperor's mouth again.
The emperor originally wanted Yan Nanwan to admit that she was a substitute for Meng Qing, but Yan Nanwan said that she looked alike to many women in the capital, so didn't it mean that all women in the world looked like Meng Qing?
But Yan Nan's words changed in Xue Yan's ears.
Xue Yan felt that Yan Nanwan didn't care about him at all, or that she was really angry and misunderstood, and felt that he had been treating her as a substitute for Meng Qing.
Such a scene, even if you don't want to believe it, you have to believe it.
The emperor no longer spoke to Yan Nanwan, although he was unhappy, he still said to Meng Qing with a smile: "Qing'er, you haven't seen Lao Qi for a few years, and you directly followed Lao Qi back to the prince's mansion to catch up with the old days." ”
Meng Qing nodded obediently and agreed.
Xue Yan kept looking at Yan Nanwan, wanting to wait for her reaction, but after Yan Nanwan finished speaking, she lowered her head again, and no one looked at her, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.
"Old Seven, you take care of Qing'er. The emperor advised.
Xue Yan looked at Yan Nanwan and gritted his teeth and replied, "Okay."
Yan Nanwan still didn't react, and she didn't look up.
Before the early dynasty was over, Xue Yan took Meng Qing directly away.
As early as today, the emperor had told Meng Qing about the matter between Xue Yan and Yan Nanwan, and seeing Xue Yan come out with him without hesitation, Meng Qing's heart was already happy.
She met Xue Yan when she was young, and secretly promised him early in the morning, thinking that she would marry him when she grew up. Which Cheng thought that Xue Yan had become a wanderer when she grew up, and she didn't want to give her life to such a man, so she left the capital.
But in the past two years, she could often hear how infatuated the Seventh Prince was, or for a person who looked very similar to herself, a fire immediately ignited in her heart. felt that Xue Yan must like her, so when the emperor asked her to enter Beijing, she agreed without hesitation.
Ling Sheng waited at the palace gate, and when he saw Xue Yan come out, he greeted him: "Master." ”
Xue Yan's face was not good, and he nodded lightly.
Ling Sheng saw Xue Yan followed by a woman, at first he almost saw that it was Yan Nanwan, but after a closer look, he found that it was not, he was puzzled, but he didn't ask much.
"You're Ling Sheng Ling's guard, right?" Meng Qing smiled and spoke softly.
Ling Sheng nodded, his eyes full of doubt.
Meng Qing spoke again and introduced herself: "I am Meng Qing, and I used to be ...... with the Seventh Prince" She lowered her head, as if she was embarrassed, "Childhood sweetheart." ”
Ling Sheng was simply stunned, glanced at Xue Yan, and suddenly stopped saying a word.
