Chapter 233: The Banquet of the Wind Palace
Feng Yihan was not wearing court clothes today, a silver-white robe floated out of the dust, and when he walked into the banquet hall, many officials got up to say hello.
"I've seen Mrs. Feng!"
"I've seen Mrs. Feng!"
In addition to saying hello, many people couldn't help but look at the wind and cold and the clouds clear.
The relationship between Mrs. Feng and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is extraordinary, just now Prince Dongyang kept saying that he wanted to marry the eldest princess, doesn't this make it clear that he wants to fight with Mrs. Feng!
Next, I'm afraid there will be a good show to watch.
"It turns out that this is Mrs. Feng, who has been looking up for a long time." Nangong Sheng looked at Feng Yihan, the smile on his face was as usual, and there was no trace of abnormality.
"Prince Dongyang is polite."
Feng Yihan's seat was set next to Nangong Sheng, and after taking his seat, Feng Yihan glanced at Yun Qingyan, and a touch of tenderness slipped in his eyes.
"Mrs. Feng came just in time, I heard that Mrs. Feng once taught the eldest princess homework, and he was her teacher. Although Feng Taifu is still young, if you talk about it like this, you can be regarded as the elder of the eldest princess. Come to think of it, when it comes to begging to marry the eldest princess, Mrs. Feng will definitely be able to say a few kind words for me in front of the emperor of your country. ”
As soon as these words came out, the officials present immediately couldn't help but secretly take a breath of cold air.
The elder of the eldest princess?
This Dongyang prince is really powerful enough, and he nailed the identities of the eldest princess and Mrs. Feng in one sentence. However, judging from this situation, if this Dongyang prince didn't know anything about the gossip between the eldest princess and the Feng Taifu, they wouldn't believe it.
"Elders?" Feng Yihan played with the wine glass in his hand, "It turns out that Prince Dongyang thinks so." ”
"Isn't it?" Nangong Sheng looked at Feng Yihan, and his expression was faintly a little proud.
"Since the prince wants to ask to marry the eldest princess, and he feels that he is the elder of the eldest princess, he wants to ask me to do so. It stands to reason that we should bow to the elders in the lower line? ”
"That's right." Rong Lu immediately opened his mouth and agreed, "If the Prince of Dongyang really has the heart to marry the eldest princess, and recognizes Taifu Feng as an elder, then in order to show respect, he should naturally perform the elder courtesy." By the way, our Chu Yunguo has always attached importance to filial piety, and the younger generations salute the elders, they must kowtow and bow down, and the prince of Dongyang may wish to follow the customs. ”
Although Yun Yao felt that Rong Lu's words were a bit excessive, no matter what, the other party was the prince of Dongyang after all. It's just that thinking of Nangong Sheng's previous behavior and his attitude just now, he finally held back and didn't speak.
And the Dongyang envoys who followed behind Nangong Sheng were suddenly unhappy.
"Mrs. Feng, Rong Shizi, what do you mean by this, our prince is noble, and it was just a few polite words just now. You are so aggressive, could it be that you deliberately want to humiliate my Dongyang Kingdom! ”
"It's just following the prince's words and giving him some face." Feng Yihan paused, "What, this adult thinks it's inappropriate?" ”
"Naturally, it's not right!" The Dongyang envoy who spoke just now immediately said, "Taifu Feng and the eldest princess and His Royal Highness the crown prince are the same age, how can they be regarded as any elders, and they are filled at will, isn't it ridiculous!" ”
Feng Yihan nodded and looked at Nangong Sheng, "Since this is the case, then it is regarded as a momentary gaffe just now, indeed, peers are naturally not elders." ”
Nangong Sheng just shrugged his shoulders, glanced at the official who stood up just now with an uncertain expression, and didn't say anything more.
Soon, Emperor Yun and Empress Chu arrived, and the banquet officially began.
This kind of banquet is more just to get by on face, and between the two countries, polite words.
After three rounds of drinking, Emperor Yun was thinking in his heart that he would let everyone disperse after a while, but he didn't expect Nangong Sheng to stand up and put forward the matter of wanting to marry Yun Qingyan.
Emperor Yun frowned and glanced at Empress Chu.
And Empress Chu's eyes were full of disapproval except for a short period of surprise.
Does this mean that you want the two countries to marry? No, never!
Emperor Yun retracted his gaze, looked at Nangong Sheng who was standing below, and cleared his throat slightly.
"The matter of marriage is not a child's play, not to mention that it involves the relationship between the two countries, in this matter, Prince Dongyang should not be too impulsive."
Between the words, the meaning of rejection has been revealed. However, Nangong Sheng didn't seem to hear it at all, arched his hand, and continued to speak:
"Your Majesty, I sincerely ask to marry the eldest princess, and I hope that the emperor can fulfill it. Moreover, if the two countries can marry, it will also be a good thing for the relationship between the two countries. ”
"Is this the meaning of the Prince of Dongyang, or the meaning of your father?" Emperor Yun looked at Nangong Sheng.
If it was just Nangong Sheng's meaning, this matter would be easy to handle, but if this was Emperor Dongyang's intention, I was afraid that it would be a lot of trouble.
"When he went to the embassy this time, my father specially explained that the relationship between the two countries must be well maintained. After today, I will send a message back, and at that time, I will send a letter of state asking for marriage, and I will definitely not wronged the eldest princess. ”
Hearing this, Emperor Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
"The prince is still a little restless, Rong Zhen thinks about this matter. You have been traveling for a long time, and these days are still mainly about resting. ”
As soon as Emperor Yun's words came out, some officials immediately began to echo their mouths.
And Nangong Sheng was not in a hurry or annoyed, smiled in response, and sat down again. It seems that he didn't plan to get Emperor Yun to agree from the beginning, he just wanted to bring up this matter.
At the end of the banquet, the officials dispersed one after another.
As soon as Yun Qingyan came out of the Qiyang Palace, he saw Nangong Sheng waiting there.
"This prince has a few words that he wants to talk to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess alone, I wonder if Her Royal Highness the eldest princess can give face?"
"Princess......" Qiu'er glanced at Yun Qingyan with some unease.
And Yun Qingyan said to Qiu'er: "Qiu'er, you are waiting here now." ”
After speaking, he followed Nangong Sheng to the corridor not far away.
"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, it's been a long time." Nangong Sheng looked at Yun Qingyan, his eyes seemed to be smiling, with a bit of interest.
Yun Qingyan raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it the first time the prince has come to Chuyun Imperial City, where did this sentence come from after not seeing you for a long time?" ”
"Huh!" Nangong Sheng laughed, "Then the princess might as well be treated as a previous life." ”
Yun Qingyan looked at Nangong Sheng, "If there is anything you want to say about Prince Nangong, let's say it quickly, after all, this princess doesn't have so much time, so I will spend it here with you." ”
"The princess doesn't have to be so hostile to me, after all, I just asked to marry the eldest princess in front of everyone in the main hall." Nangong Sheng paused for a moment, "Or is it that the eldest princess already has a heart in her heart, so she is very unhappy with her marriage proposal?" ”
"Whether this princess has a heart or not has nothing to do with your attitude, if Prince Nangong just wants to talk nonsense here, then this princess will leave first."
After speaking, Yun Qingyan turned around and was about to leave.
"Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!" Behind him, Nangong Sheng shouted to Yun Qingyan, "I really want to marry, the eldest princess might as well think about it." After all, the person in your heart is only afraid of ...... Not a good match! ”
