Chapter 104: The Engagement Ceremony
Today's royal city is very lively, the curious people who come from all directions have already squeezed the royal city into a water, the great prince is the object of admiration of thousands of girls in the clan, and Yu Wei's bizarre life story has already spread all over the streets and alleys, the story of Cinderella is not common, not to mention a Cinderella who fell from the water.
The engagement ceremony was held in the main hall of the palace, about two streets away from the prince's mansion, in order to avoid causing congestion, the king had already asked someone to build an underground passage, when people were still gathered in front of the prince's mansion and waited anxiously, Yuwei had already entered the palace unconsciously under the escort of Cheng Jinghou.
At this time, the palace was already bustling and crowded, and the royal nobles who came to watch the ceremony were in a group of three, talking and laughing in a group of five, and the noblewomen and beauties wearing flowers and branches kept searching in the crowd while maintaining the demeanor of a lady, because they really couldn't figure out why the noble and handsome prince went to find a pariah, no, even a pariah.
With a commotion of the crowd, Yu Wei appeared in people's sight, white gauze mopping the floor, walking in style, like a fairy falling from the clouds, the courtyard that was still noisy just now became quiet for a moment, and people were staring closely at this woman who made Da Shizi fall in love at first sight.
"It's beautiful!" I don't know who praised it, and then it caused a chorus, the man's eyes were full of envy that couldn't be hidden, and the woman's eyes burst out with jealousy.
Under the escort of the palace guards, Yu Wei shuttled through the crowd with an indifferent face, and soon came to the small living room connected to the main hall.
When Yu Wei walked into the living room wearing a white open-arm wedding dress and a pearl crown, Xiaoxi and Lin Mo, who had been waiting in the living room, immediately opened their mouths wide, she subconsciously looked at her clothes, and found nothing abnormal, she raised her head and looked at Cheng Jinghou with inquiring eyes, but Cheng Jinghou looked at her with a smile and a word, a burst of heat came, and a red cloud floated on her cheeks.
Lin Mo couldn't help but say when he saw Yu Wei's embarrassed appearance: "Yu Wei, don't be nervous, you look really beautiful in your wedding dress, and the beauty will shock our jaws!" ”
"Yes! Sister, my jaw has dropped! Xiao Xi held his chin and looked pained, "I knew that my sister was good-looking, but I didn't expect my sister who was a bride to be so good-looking, it's all because I haven't grown up yet, otherwise I would never give it to my eldest brother." ”
Lin Mo looked at Xiao Xi with a regretful look and said: "Fool, feelings are also let, Yu Wei and His Royal Highness the Great Prince are in adversity to see the truth, and now it is not easy to keep the clouds, you want to give them blessings, do you know?" ”
Xiaoxi scratched her head embarrassedly, and then ran to Yuwei and took her hand, "Sister, you are engaged to your eldest brother this time, you won't throw Xiaoxi aside!" ”
"Xiaoxi is my sister's dearest person, how could my sister throw Xiaoxi aside?" Yuwei raised her hand and stroked his dark hair, her face full of love.
"Xiaoxi is my sister's dearest, what about the eldest brother, is it second?" Konishi's eyes flashed, and his face was full of innocence.
"Okay, don't be poor," Lin Mo walked over and pulled Xiao Xi aside, "His Royal Highness the Great Prince is Yu Wei's lover, do you have to pay attention to avoid suspicion?" ”
Xiaoxi shook his head vigorously and muttered: "I don't want to avoid suspicion, I want to go to see the flowers with my sister and go to the hot springs together!" ”
Just as everyone was watching Xiaoxi play tricks, the ceremonial officer walked in with a smile on his face, "Lord Qiqi, the auspicious time is coming!" ”
"Good!" Cheng Jinghou answered, and took Yu Wei's hand.
The engagement hall has long been decorated, and the members of the royal family and the ministers have already sat in the hall in a staggered manner according to the designated position, with the clear and translucent voice of the ceremonial officer, the engagement ceremony officially kicked off, and the happy face of the great prince is standing on the red carpet of the hall waiting for her.
Cheng Jinghou took Yu Wei slowly to Da Shizi's side, and handed Yu Wei to Da Shizi solemnly, and Da Shizi took Yu Wei's hand affectionately and walked towards the center of the hall.
After a complicated etiquette, they finally walked in front of the king, this is the first time Yu Wei knocked on the king, Yu Wei pressed the anxiety in her heart and secretly looked at King Erdo sitting on the throne, and after she saw it clearly, she was immediately stunned by King Erdo with a smile on his face.
This is the king? Yu Wei closed her eyes vigorously, and then opened them again, isn't this the rose man in the rose garden? The rose man who used to prune and weed with her turned out to be the king of the Erdo tribe?
Yu Wei looked at Wang Shang blankly, her mind was blank, she felt that her palm was pinched, and she looked at her slightly sideways, Da Shizi was looking at her with urging eyes.
She was shocked, and hurriedly bowed down with the great prince.
The cumbersome etiquette lasted for a long time before it ended, and with the etiquette officer's sentence of "etiquette", Yu Wei followed Da Shizi back to the small living room just now, Da Shizi asked Lin Mo and Qing Xu to take care of Yu Wei, and he took Xiaoxi out to take care of the guests.
The engagement banquet was set up in the hall of the palace, and all kinds of delicacies were placed on the tables of the guests, and the laughter and the aroma of fine wine lingered in the hall.
At this moment, a tall figure appeared at the door of the hall, and he walked step by step to the center of the hall, and shouted to the slightly languished King Erdo on the throne: "Congratulations to the king, old minister! ”
With the sound of congratulatory greetings like a bell, the hall of the palace immediately fell silent.
"Occupy the face!"
"Wait!"
……
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhan Yan, who suddenly appeared, with a puzzled look on his face, this Hou Ye, who should have been thinking about it behind closed doors at home, actually appeared here, isn't this a disobedience?
"Zhanyan?" King Erdo struggled to his feet from his throne, his eyes slightly wide open and his face amazed.
"It's the old minister!" Zhan Yan looked at the king of Erdo, who was fighting spirit, with a proud expression.
"Why didn't you summon you?" King Erdo's voice was soft, as if it had lost its former majesty.
"The old minister is here to send off the king!" Zhan Yan stood upright, with an arrogant face, without the slightest respect for a human minister.
"What did you say?" Xiao Xi, who had already been enraged, pointed at Zhan Yan and asked loudly.
"His Royal Highness the little prince, don't worry!" Zhan Yan smiled slightly, revealing a look of disdain, "The king has been deeply poisoned, as a former king's minister, I naturally have the obligation to come over and preside over the overall situation!"
"What do you say? Who is poisoned? Da Shizi flashed in front of Zhan Yan, exuding an aggressive aura all over his body.
"Of course it's the king!" Zhan Yan glanced at King Erduo, who was already weak, and continued: "Of course, there are all of you here, as long as the people who have drunk the osmanthus aged wine today have been hit by the old man's crisp muscles and cartilage, they will be paralyzed and unable to move within two hours. ”
"You, you actually poisoned us!" Xiang Hou's eyes widened angrily, and while questioning loudly, he stood up and rushed towards Zhan Yan, only to take two steps before falling crookedly to the ground, and an aura of horror suddenly filled the hall. Many people gritted their teeth and stared at Zhanyan, but there was nothing they could do.
"What about poisoning?" Zhan Yan looked at the crowd in front of him contemptuously: "The old man is not a gentleman, of course he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal!" ”
"Purpose, what purpose?" Sincerely waiting, full of suspicion.
"Old horseman, you are really stupid!" Zhan Yan pointed at the only Cheng Jing Hou with a look of disdain: "It is precisely because of a foolish and loyal person like you that Cheng Jing Hou will cut off his children and grandchildren." ”
"Foolish?" Cheng Jinghou had a straight face, "I don't think that the support of the king is foolish loyalty!" ”
"Then you will die with your king! Hahaha......" With a burst of arrogant laughter, hundreds of Xianqi soldiers with swords in their hands, masks on their heads, and armor quickly rushed in. The mighty soldiers stood behind Zhan Yan like a black cloud pressing down on the city, shocking everyone present. The ornate hall fell silent once more, and some people were shaking as they forcibly supported their bodies.
Zhan Yan looked around at the crowd and said coldly: "The sword has no eyes, if you are willing to submit to my Zhan Yan, please stand up!" ”
As soon as the voice fell, there was a commotion in the crowd, and everyone had different expressions, more than a dozen people who were still in good spirits jumped out and stood beside Zhan Yan, and some people who had already been frightened and bloodless crawled out of the crowd with their heads down.
Zhan Yan looked at King Erdo proudly, and slowly raised his right hand above his head and slashed it in the air. The Xianqi army behind him scattered and surrounded it.
The thief captured the king first, and the eldest prince who was standing opposite Zhan Yan was bright in his heart, and the dagger in his hand came out and swept towards Zhan Yan's neck.
Zhan Yan raised his hand to block it and shouted loudly: "Those who follow me prosper, and those who go against me die!" More than a dozen people standing beside Zhan Yan then protected Zhan Yan's body, and the eldest prince lost the opportunity, staggered a blade, and hurriedly retreated.
At this moment, Chengjing Hou stood up steadily, and shouted at the Xianqi army in front of him: "The palace guards obey the order, protect the king, and exterminate the rebels!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the originally chaotic scene instantly became orderly, Xianqijun suddenly turned his head, and in just a moment, Zhan Yan and the people around him were surrounded by layers, Zhan Yan looked at the scene that made him collapse in a daze, and the blade in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
When the soldiers escorted him and his companions before King Erdo, Zhan Yan was still at a loss. The corners of the king's mouth twitched slightly, and he stood up from the throne and walked towards him.
"You, you're not poisoned?" Zhan Yan looked puzzled.
"This king is naturally not poisoned!" The king regained his composure.
"Well, they ......"
"Naturally, they were poisoned!" Wang Shang said quietly, with no waves on his face.
"These talismans of the Xianqi Army have long been replaced by the old man, how can they listen to your command?" Zhan Yan's brows twisted into a flower.
"Of course they won't obey the king's command, this king just captured all the Xianqi troops who entered the palace and replaced them with the king's palace guards!" King Erdo said lightly.
Zhan Yan was shocked when he heard this, the hundreds of people who lurked into the palace were the elite of his first army, could it be that they were all captured by the palace guards unknowingly? The strength of this palace guard is so strong!
He looked gloomy and let out a long sigh, he followed the first king to start a family, dominate the world, and finally lost in the hands of a younger generation whom he had never put in his eyes, and he looked at the unangry and mighty king of Erdo, and had a new opinion on this amorous seed who usually only knew that he was obsessed with roses in the ginkgo grove, but unfortunately the price was too heavy.
"Report to the king, Zhan Yan's party has been arrested!" Zhao Sheng stepped forward in a military uniform and heroically.
"Zhao Sheng!" Zhan Yan roared, "You ungrateful, you dare to betray the old man? ”
Zhao Sheng was furious when he heard this: "You old thief, in order to threaten me, you actually sent someone to gouge out my wife's eyes and insult my daughter's innocence. ”
"Your Majesty!" Cheng Jing walked respectfully to King Erdo's side, "General Wang Yue has just sent news that the Xianqi army outside the palace has been forced into a predetermined ambush circle by him, and it won't take it in a few hours!" ”
"Good!" The king smiled with satisfaction, in order to uproot Zhan Yan, he and Cheng Jinghou cast a big net, and did not sleep for a few days, just waiting for Zhan Yan to throw himself into the net.
"Report!" Liu Yong, the guard of the dungeon, ran in like a gust of wind, "Your Majesty, Zhan Guang has been rescued!" ”
"Who did that?" The king's face sank, he wanted to execute Zhan Yan and Zhan Guang together, but he didn't expect that Zhan Yan had just been captured, but Zhan Guang fled, and besides, the dungeon was closed, and it was impossible to escape with wings, who could have such great ability?
"It's Wang Yi!" Liu Yong replied tremblingly.
"Wang Yi?" King Erdo then fell into deep thought, he remembered that Wang Yi was recommended by the Marquis of Cheng Jing, and he was also a tough guy with great military achievements, how could he become a traitor who aided and abetted the abuse?
"The old minister is negligent, please ask the king to surrender!" Cheng Jinghou quickly knelt on the ground.
Zhan Yan heard that he swept away the depravity just now, he looked at the king who was frowning, today's mutiny was not a sure thing, as long as he could successfully rescue Zhan Guang, even if he let him sacrifice his life to die, he could smile Jiuquan.
After all, he was right, and he laughed out loud when he thought about it.
