The one hundred and nineteenth round
When they came to the Taiji Palace, the ministers were already standing on both sides, after experiencing yesterday's events, they also felt some unusual atmosphere today, especially Murong Yao's calm face in front, as if everyone owed him, the ministers were very interested in not stepping forward to talk, and then let's see the situation.
Murong Ye and Nan Xueyu both came in, and the ministers exchanged glances with each other, and they all knew it: Yesterday's incident, Nan Xueyu is the premier hero, and today she will definitely be rewarded by the Queen Mother, and the Nan family can be regarded as a scenery this time!
Murong Yao's gaze followed everyone over, and when he glanced at the two people who were standing together and hated him the most now, the fire in his heart jumped up, and he couldn't suppress it! If it weren't for Nan Xueyu, a slut......
"The emperor has arrived!
After the inner servant passed the news, the Queen Mother and Murong Jun both came out and sat behind the dragon case together.
"See the emperor! See the queen mother!" The ministers knelt down and saluted together, and were stunned almost at the same time: What is the emperor's head...... It seems that he has wrapped something, is it injured? Seeing that his face is sallow, listless, and indeed very uncomfortable, what is the matter?
The Queen Mother's face was not too good, and she said in a deep voice, "Everyone, let's calm down." β
"Emperor Xie, Empress Dowager Xie!" The ministers got up, seeing that the Queen Mother looked displeased, and they didn't dare to stare at Murong Jun, all of them hung their heads, looking respectful.
Murong Jun touched the back of his head, it was still a little painful, and his brain was a little dizzy, and he just wanted to go back to sleep. But just now in the inner hall, the Queen Mother instructed him, no matter what, he has to hold on for a while, otherwise the ministers should gossip, in fact, he doesn't understand, what is "gossip", but what the Queen Mother didn't let him do, it should be wrong, no matter how unhappy he is, he can only endure it.
"Everyone, today's mourning family has arranged singing and juggling for them, everyone can watch it by themselves, don't make trouble, do you understand the meaning of mourning?"
"The ministers don't dare! The ministers wait for the Empress Dowager and the Emperor!" the ministers muttered in their hearts, and they all responded in unison.
The Queen Mother bowed slightly, her face softened slightly, and she said to Nan Xueyu, "Xueyu, come." β
"Yes, Queen Mother. Nan Xueyu gave a salute first, and then stepped forward and said respectfully, "What does the queen mother command?"
The queen mother? The ministers were taken aback, including Nan Zhengyan, they were all quite surprised: how could Nan Xueyu call the queen mother "queen mother" - could it be that she was also favored by the queen mother and became the emperor's concubine?
However, without waiting for them to express their doubts, the Queen Mother has explained, "Today, the mourning family has to announce one thing, Xue Yuhui is Lanxin, empathetic, very in line with the mourning family's wishes, and saved the emperor yesterday, which is indispensable, and the mourning family is very happy, and has decided to accept Xue Yu as a righteous daughter, and seal Princess Yanning, and will soon edict Dayan to celebrate." β
Princess Yanning?
The ministers couldn't accept this for a while, and they looked at each other, but they didn't react.
And Murong Yao was the first to come back to his senses, and he couldn't help but be furious: Nan Xueyu is arrogant enough to rely on the support of the fifth child, and now that she has the blessing of the Queen Mother, it is not enough to go to heaven!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, the ministers came back to their senses, even if they were envious and jealous in their hearts, they still had to do superficial work, and they had to congratulate Nan Zhengyan, but Murong Yao said coldly, and they couldn't help but secretly disdain:
Is His Royal Highness the Wing King confused? The Queen Mother is just accepting a righteous daughter, and there is nothing to hinder the government, not to mention that Nan Xueyu saved the emperor yesterday, and it is indeed meritorious, which is obvious to all, why are you opposed? You are so openly clamoring and not giving Nan Zhengyan face, how can he be happy!
Thinking like this, everyone looked at Nan Zhengyan, and sure enough, when they saw that he didn't wait for surprise, they were embarrassed and inexplicable, and there was even more faint anger on their faces: What a Murong Yao, he was so bad that he had previously supported him in his struggle for power and position, but he was good, and he actually prevented the Nan family from climbing up, what does this mean!
Murong Ye's face instantly turned cold, "What does the third brother mean by this, the queen mother has already decided, why do you want to object?"
"I'm just against it!" Murong Yaoqi's face turned blue, he flicked his sleeves, gritted his teeth and said, "Nan Xueyu is just the daughter of her subordinates, her status is humble, how can she be worthy of the dignity of a princess of a country, and what else do you want to be named 'Princess Yanning', among the daughters of the royal family, how many people can get the word 'Yan' as a title, how can Nan Xueyu be virtuous, why should she enjoy this honor!"
In fact, these are all excuses, the most important thing is that if Nan Xueyu is named "Princess Yanning", she will be on an equal footing with him in terms of status, and the Queen Mother and the fifth child will definitely protect her with all their might, and if she wants to use her again, or find her to retaliate, wouldn't it be even more difficult!
The Queen Mother's face sank, "Yao'er, in front of all the adults, you should also pay attention to some proportions when you speak! Yes, Xue Yu is the daughter of her subordinates, but she is always the daughter of the Prime Minister, where is her identity humble? Besides, Lord Nan has done his best for my Dayan, and he has worked hard, what is there to be sorry for my Dayan, and the mourning family wants to accept Xue Yu as a righteous daughter, what's wrong?"
Nan Zhengyan was really grateful to the Queen Mother, and fell to her knees with an exaggerated thud, her voice trembling, "The Queen Mother is kind, the minister is ashamed to be! The minister just did his duty as a courtier, and what he did was far from enough, the minister was ashamed! The queen mother was already unparalleled in kindness to the minister's family, and the minister didn't dare to ask for anything else, so he asked the queen mother to take back her life, don't love the little girl so much, the minister can't afford to ......"
These people fought for each other, but the protagonist Nan Xueyu had a cold face, no matter what others said, it couldn't hinder her business, she just watched coldly, watching her father act in front of people, and secretly sneered: Father, this is your usual trick, retreat as advance, right?
Murong Yao couldn't see that Nan Zhengyan was targeting him, and he became more and more angry, and sneered mockingly, "Nan Daren can see it clearly, but this king thinks that Nan Daren, you have gone a little too far, Nan Xueyu was named a princess, you are very proud, aren't you ......?"
"Yao'er, Hugh is talking nonsense!" The Queen Mother's face turned pale, Yao'er was getting more and more unable to take the stage, he was not afraid of losing face, he still wanted this old face, "The mourning family has decided to seal Xueyu as Princess Yanning, this matter cannot be changed, you don't have to say more!"
"The Queen Motherβ"
"The mourning family has been decided!" the queen mother slammed the dragon case, the momentum was terrifying, "Yao'er, are you even disobeying the words of the mourning family, huh?"
Murong Ye's eyes flashed with murder, and he said in a deep voice, "Third brother, you must make your mother angry, don't you?"
You-Murong Yao gritted his teeth and glared at him fiercely, sparks flew between the two brothers, opposing each other, never dying, who could not see those who had eyes.
Tang Haoxuan frowned as he watched from the sidelines, seeing that the scene did not end well, as one of the four auxiliary ministers, it was time for him to say something, "His Royal Highness King Yi, His Royal Highness the King of Yue, please calm your anger, the minister has the courage to say a word, the Queen Mother wants to accept Miss Xueyu as a righteous daughter, originally out of love for it, not to mention that the people of the world were originally the people of the emperor and the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother did this, but also to set an example to the people of the world, and to express her pity for the daughter of her subordinates, the minister thought that there was nothing wrong." β
"That's right, the minister also thinks that the queen mother should be congratulated on receiving such a smart daughter, congratulations!" Taifu Xue Shaoqian was originally a calculating, although his daughter did not have such a good life, and she could be favored by the queen mother, but looking at the situation today, this matter has no change, it is better to make a statement.
When the two of them opened their mouths, the ministers had a number in their hearts, and they all echoed it, and they all congratulated the Queen Mother.
The top of Murong Yaoqi's head was almost smoking, everyone was actually against him, when he was given the title of the Wing King for nothing! But the ministers were so unanimous, what was the use of opposing him alone, not to mention that he had no reason to oppose it at all!
In a chorus of echoes, the corners of Nan Xueyu's lips were slightly raised, revealing a sneer of disdain: Murong Yao, you still think that this is in the previous life, with my full help to you, when it comes to this part, the ministers have already avoided King Yue, and are wholeheartedly devoted to you, so you can do whatever you want, and control the court?
As soon as Murong Yao raised his eyes, he was facing Nan Xueyu's provocative and smug gaze, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and he wanted to break her neck: You are proud, you are proud! Nan Xueyu, this king will not just forget it, you don't give this king a smug, this king will definitely let you not survive or die!
In this way, the matter is a foregone conclusion, and the Queen Mother's face eased slightly, "That is the case, this matter is decided, Xue Yu will be my Dayan's Princess Yanning in the future, the righteous daughter of the mourning family, Xue Yu, let's meet all the adults." "This is to tell the ministers that although Nan Xueyu is her daughter, she is equivalent to her own daughter, and no one can be disrespectful to her, otherwise she will not be given the empress.
"Yes, Queen Mother," Nan Xueyu stepped forward elegantly and saluted, "Xueyu gives you a salute, Xue Yu is young and has never seen much of the world, if there is anything that offends you, please bear with me." β
"Princess Yanning doesn't have to be polite, the ministers don't dare!"
The ministers all politely returned the salute, with a polite smile on their faces, and they all looked at Nan Zhengyan in unison, thinking that it was time to prepare a generous gift to send to the Prime Minister's Mansion to celebrate.
"In that case, please go outside the hall and watch the opera juggling. The Queen Mother got up and took Murong Jun's hand, looking much happier.
"Thank you Queen Mother for the reward!"
The ministers let go of both sides, and when the Queen Mother and Murong Jun went out, they all stepped forward to say hello to Nan Zhengyan, this old guy was overjoyed, and returned the salute one by one, so unexpected!
After the joy, the ministers came out of the palace one after another, and they watched the opera juggling without mentioning it.
Murong Yao intended to be at the end, and when Nan Xueyu came down from the jade steps, he stepped sideways and stopped people.
As a result, before he could say anything, the figure in front of him flashed, and Murong Ye stood in front of Nan Xueyu again, and said coldly, "Third brother, what are you going to do?"
