Chapter 226: Request for Peace
Li Zeyi sat back in his place, and as soon as he raised his head, he met Lin Zhuohua's gaze, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and a reassuring smile appeared.
This time, Lin Zhuohua's heart was completely let go, and then he lowered his head and continued to drink the milk in his hand.
Soon the palace banquet returned to its previous atmosphere, but this time everyone's gaze at Li Zeyi was very different.
Halfway through the palace banquet, Long Ruiguo's envoy suddenly stood up, walked to the center of the main hall, and saluted respectfully.
"Long live my emperor, this time I came to present a thousand sweat and blood BMW, and sent our first beauty of Longrui to come and kiss to show Longrui's sincerity."
Emperor Jing nodded when he heard this: "I can feel Long Rui's sincerity, so I accepted it." ”
When the envoy of Long Rui heard this, his heart was relieved, and he finally lived up to the king's entrustment. Then he bowed and retreated.
A brisk drum beat sounded, and suddenly a fiery red figure flew into the palace and landed in the center of the main hall. It was a beautiful woman dressed in red, dancing enchanting and bold, especially the veil on her face looming with the dance, which made her appearance a little more mysterious.
The bare waist is as slender as if it can be broken with a pinch. Silver bells were tied around her wrists and ankles, making a crisp sound as she danced.
Most of the dances danced by the dancers of Dajing are mostly soft and graceful, and this kind of enchanting is very rare. Even if there are some bewitching dances, they are not as bold as the woman in red in front of them.
The smile is full of charm, especially the deep eyes that seem to have hooks, which tickle people's hearts.
Rao is Lin Zhuohua, as a woman, can't help but look stupid. I have to admit that this Kalisa's dance does have a seductive capital.
She glanced at the man in the hall, and most of her eyes were burning at the red-clothed beauty. When she saw Li Zeyi bowing her head and drinking wine, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
As soon as the dance ended, Kalisha raised her head slightly and glanced at King Yi who was sitting on it, but found that the other party only lowered his head and drank, and did not even give her a look. I was very angry in my heart, but there was a smile on my face, and I stepped forward to salute.
"Kalisha see my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live."
The emperor is naturally different from others, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, what kind of beauty has not been seen. It's just the initial amazement, and it quickly returned to normal, slightly bowing.
"Let's get up, Long Rui's first beauty really deserves her reputation."
Kalisha smiled shyly when she heard this, and her voice was as charming as her person: "Kalisha has admired King Yi for a long time, this time I asked the emperor to lead the little girl to give it to King Yi, okay?" ”
Everyone was shocked by the boldness of this first beauty of Longrui, where is there a heroine courting in front of everyone.
The emperor was also stunned, and then looked at his son, seeing that he was still bowing his head and drinking the wine in his hand, he didn't even lift his eyelids, and he was afraid that he didn't have a good impression of this Longrui No. 1 beauty.
"Kalisha, we have a lot of good sons in Dajing. As the first beauty of Long Rui, you naturally want to sit as a wife, and King Yi has already been engaged, I'm afraid it is not suitable. Why don't you look at the many sons and daughters who come today, and if there is a fancy for me, I will give marriage. ”
The emperor said this with a smile on his face, which can be said to have given Long Rui a great face.
This time, the people in the Long Rui mission knew that as soon as Emperor Jing's words came out, it meant that Kalisha would not enter the Yi Palace, even if it was as a side concubine or concubine. They hurriedly gave Kali Sha, who was standing in the center of the main hall, a look, but the other party didn't seem to see it.
"Your Majesty, Kalisha is truly in love with His Royal Highness King Muyi. Even if it's as a side concubine or concubine, as long as you can be by King Yi's side. ”
There was a bit of firmness in her deep eyes, and she seemed to have made up her mind, it was better for Yiwangfu not to give up.
The atmosphere was a little tense for a while, and no one dared to stand up and speak. Although Long Rui is now subdued to Dajing, Jingguo also wants to give Long Rui some face.
"Miss Kalisha is really a woman of true temperament." The prince's heart moved, and he slowly spoke: "Father, it's better to fulfill her, anyway, the third brother's backyard concubine has two positions." Moreover, Erchen can hear that when he was at the post station, Kalisha had already gone to the third brother's bed. ”
Lin Zhuohua didn't want to come in, but when she heard the prince's words, her eyes were cold. This person is still going to change concepts as always, as if something has happened between Li Zeyi and Kalisha.
She was about to speak, but her hand was held down. When she looked sideways, she saw her grandmother shaking her head at her.
He pursed his lips and suppressed the words that had rolled to the tip of his tongue.
Li Zeyi put down the wine glass in his hand, raised his head and glanced at the prince lightly, and said coldly: "His Royal Highness the prince is well-informed, and he even knows so clearly about the things in the post station. ”
His words were cold, revealing a bit of sarcasm. Then he looked at the emperor, and then said: "Father, this Kali Sa'er minister doesn't like it. Besides, although Erchen's health is better, he also needs to pay attention. ”
The tea that the emperor just drank almost squirted out, although this was said implicitly, but everyone was a man who naturally understood it.
His son is still his son, and he still dares to say anything!
coughed lightly, and it took the emperor a long time to find his voice: "Since King Yi doesn't like it, then Kalisha, you should choose another person." ”
Compared with outsiders, his son is naturally distant and close.
Kalisha's face turned pale in an instant, she didn't expect her to do this, the other party didn't leave her any face, and refused so bluntly in front of so many people.
Her body shook, as if she was going to fall in the next second. Her deep eyes were filled with mist, and she looked at Li Zeyi with tears in her eyes. People who don't know still think that Li Zeyi did something to her, like a negative man.
"Your Royal Highness King Yi, are you worried about Lord Ronghua? If Lord Ronghua has no opinion, then will you be able to accept Kalisha? ”
Her voice was a little pitiful, and after speaking, she turned around and walked straight to Lin Zhuohua.
Lin Zhuohua: "??? ”
Did she watch the play well? Why did it suddenly get on her?
Looking at the woman in red who was already standing in front of her, poor as a little white flower, the corners of her mouth twitched. Before the other party was about to kneel, he got up and looked at her lightly and said.
"Miss Kalisa, King Yi will never like you, and he will not admit you to the palace."
Kalisha's movements paused: "Why did Lord Ronghua say this?" ”
When Lin Zhuohua heard this, the corners of his mouth raised, and his delicate and bright little face showed a wicked smile, gently brushed the corners of his eyes, and said softly: "Because you are not as beautiful as me." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone took a breath, and it was the first time that someone said it so bluntly.
Lin Zhuohua's cognition has been refreshed again.
Kalisha choked on this, and for a moment there was no way to refute it, which should be the truth.
Lin Zhuohua's appearance is indeed incomparable to few people, after all, he also has the reputation of the first beauty in the big scene.
When Li Zeyi heard this, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, but he nodded very cooperatively.
"Well, the future princess of this king is beautiful and kind, and it is true that not everyone can compare."
He got up and walked down from above, his eyes gentle and delicate, as if she was the only one in the world. Came up to her and slowly stretched out his hand.
Lin Zhuohua put his hand in his hand and stood beside him.
At this time, everyone found out that today's King Yi is also wearing a blue robe and a jade crown. The two stood together, like a fairy couple, a pair made in heaven. And the kind of aura that lingered between the two of them, no one could insert it.
Kalisha looked at the two people in front of her, and the corners of her eyes were red with anger. And at this point she became a little ridiculous, and she was in a dilemma. The lip flap hidden under the veil was tightly bitten by the teeth, and a trace of blood could be faintly seen.
"The third brother doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, you see that Miss Kalisha is about to be bullied and crying by you and Lord Ronghua."
The prince's voice sounded again, and a trace of disgust flashed in Lin Zhuohua's eyes.
He's talkative, small-mouthed.
Li Zeyi stopped his little girl's slender waist, turned around and walked up.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been the most pitiful and cherishing jade, so it is better to put Kalisha in the East Palace. The side concubine of the East Palace, but the side concubine of a little prince can show my sincerity to Long Rui more than my little prince. ”
Anyway, they are all concubines, and it's not the same wherever they go. Number Six
Lin Zhuohua pursed his lips and smiled, bowing his head and playing with the sachet on his waist. The rest is the prince and Li Zeyi's fighting method, and she is happy to watch the play.
However, according to the past, the prince's cliff could not fight Li Zeyi.
Sure enough, this sentence made the prince silent, this Longrui's first beauty is indeed beautiful, and she is more enchanting and bold than half of the women, but thinking that she once took the initiative to climb the bed Li Zeyi, she was bored in her heart.
If he is really included in the East Palace, it will always be like picking up a woman that Li Zeyi doesn't want, which makes him very uncomfortable.
Lin Zhuohua swept the prince's face that barely maintained a smile, and his heart was very happy.
And Li Zeyi would not let go of the prince so easily, seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, he said lightly: "It seems that His Royal Highness the prince doesn't look down on this No. 1 beauty in Longrui." ”
When the prince heard this, his heart was slightly blocked, and he spoke after a while: "The third brother said that he laughed, the person Kalisha likes is the third brother." Prince Ben will not force others, so naturally he can't include Kalisha in the East Palace. ”
"What does the prince mean by whomever Kalisha marries, who will force her?"
As soon as these words came out, who would dare to marry her.
Kalisha was really pale this time, and her body shook involuntarily.
The emperor looked at it almost, so he spoke unhurriedly: "Okay, today is this palace banquet for the heroes and the Long Rui delegation, so don't talk about these inconsequential things." As for Kalisha and her relatives, I have my own decision. ”
Kalisha wasn't stupid, it was already a step, and she would naturally go down the road.
"Kalisha obeys the emperor's holy palace."
Then he bowed and saluted, and then returned to the position of Long Rui's envoy, and after sitting down, he didn't dare to talk nonsense.
At the subsequent palace banquet, no one dared to talk nonsense, and the emperor also rewarded him for his meritorious deeds. The rewards of Commander Feng and Lin Jinjun are very good, and the position of Commander Feng can no longer be promoted, so he can only give a lot of rewards. Lin Jinjun's performance this time was very good, and he was directly transferred to the imperial front and became the imperial guard.
This is something that no one expected, and suddenly became the most eye-catching person in this palace banquet. And the most curious King Yi, the emperor did not say what kind of reward he would give.
When the banquet was over, King Yi did not receive the emperor's reward. And the emperor's move made everyone very puzzled.
No matter how puzzled others were, after leaving the palace banquet, Li Zeyi pulled Lin Zhuohua into his carriage and drove slowly all the way towards the palace gate.
It was late at night, and the stars were dotted in the dark night sky, and the spring equinox blew and lifted the curtain of the carriage window, revealing a corner of the carriage.
Many people glanced at it, only to see that the always indifferent King Yi was gently arranging the broken hair on his forehead for the girl lying on his lap.
In the carriage, Li Zeyi pinched her fingertips as white and tender as green onions: "Sleepy, sleepy, I'll wake you up when you get to the Guogong Mansion." ”
Lin Zhuohua was indeed a little sleepy, smelling the familiar smell on his body, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he fell asleep after a while.
Li Zeyi looked at her quiet sleeping face, his eyes fell on her moist and delicate lips, and a dark color flashed under his eyes. Bow her head slightly and imprint a kiss on her lips.
Gentle and delicate, until the woman's mouth unconsciously overflowed, she reluctantly sat up.
The carriage stopped in front of the gate of the Guogong Mansion, and Li Zeyi gently carried the person out of the car, and walked straight in the direction of Taoyuan.
Put the sweet little person on the soft bed, cover her with the quilt, and stand by the bed for a long time before turning away.
The next morning, Lin Zhuohua rubbed his eyes with sleepiness. Hear footsteps and look sideways.
Bai Yu and a few people came in and waited for her to wash and make.
"Miss, Madame has spread the word that you and the guests of the ceremony, the chief guest, the secretary and the praiser have not yet been decided, so let you follow her to Ningshouyuan after breakfast."
Breakfast was placed on the table, and a bowl of porridge was placed in front of her.
Lin Zhuohua took a few sips of porridge and nodded: "After breakfast, you go with me." ”
In the last life, her ceremony was extremely grand, and the guest was the queen's aunt, and she didn't remember much about the priest and the praiser, after all, she didn't have any friends. Both of these positions were chosen by the mother and grandmother, and of course the two seem to have a good reputation.
In Ningshou Garden, the old lady sat at the top, and Mrs. Lin and the second lady sat below, and the third lady didn't let her come over now that her belly was getting bigger and bigger.
"Mother, in a few days it will be the Zhuohua and the ceremony, this Zhengbin, Yousi and Praise have not yet been decided, and I came here today to discuss with you to see who is suitable."
The old lady nodded when she heard this, pondered for a moment and then said: "If you have a division and a praiser, you can let Zhuohua choose someone by himself, and as for Zhengbin, it is natural to choose a female elder with virtue and ability." ”
She paused slightly: "The lady in the palace attaches great importance to Zhuohua's etiquette, why don't you hand the sign in later, and enter the palace tomorrow to ask what the mother means." ”
Mrs. Lin nodded when she heard this: "Well, it's still my mother's thoughtfulness." ”
"The queen likes Zhuohua the most, and her concubine is naturally also concerned. We asked the mother what she meant, and it was all as it should be. After speaking, he turned to the teacup in his hand and looked at his granddaughter: "Do you have a candidate for a division and a praiser?" ”
Lin Zhuohua didn't have many friends, so she thought about it for a while and then decided: "If you have a company, please invite Miss Li, as for the praiser, it is naturally Shuhui." ”
Several people had no opinion on her proposal.
"The clothes you wore with Luli are almost embroidered, and when you are ready, you can try them on, and if they are not suitable, they will be changed." The old lady said a lot to pay attention to.
After she finished talking about the ceremony, she spoke: "Now that your eldest brother has returned, let's clarify the child's affairs quickly." When the time comes, you can also give an explanation to the Qin family, and your eldest brother's marriage can also be put on the agenda earlier. ”
Lin Zhuohua nodded heavily, it was time to quickly understand this matter.
Soon, the government decided on the date and invited many people. Many people knew about this before, and they were still paying attention to it, and when they heard that the Guogong Mansion was going to drop blood to recognize their relatives, everyone came to see the excitement.
Lin Jinjun stood aside and watched a woman walk out with a child in her arms. Many guests looked at the child in the woman's arms, which was indeed not very similar to the eldest young master of the Lin family.
"I invite you to come over today, just to testify to my Lin family, whether this child is a gentleman. If this child is Jinjun's, my Lin family will definitely not disown this child, but if he is not a child of the Lin family, then my Lin family is not calculated in vain. ”
The old man looked at the guests who came today, and said word by word, his voice unconsciously carrying a bit of seriousness and solemnity.
"Lin Laoguo's Mansion rest assured, we will definitely give this witness to the Lin family."
Everyone spoke one after another, but most of them looked like they were watching a play.
Lin Zhuohua stood beside his eldest brother, reached out and shook his hand, and smiled at him comfortingly. In her territory, no one wants to do anything in that water.
A shrill voice suddenly sounded, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived! His Royal Highness King Yi has arrived! ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and no one expected that it was just a blood confession that would alarm the two highnesses. But they didn't have time to think about it so much, and they all immediately stood up and saluted.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness King Yi."
The crown prince walked in front, he showed a gentle smile on his face, and waved his hand: "Everyone get up." ”
Lin Zhuohua raised his eyes and showed a bright smile at Li Zeyi when he saw her. Walking briskly, I walked to his side.
"Why are you here?"
Li Zeyi lowered his head, stretched out his hand and rubbed her hair: "There is something going on in the Guogong Mansion, so I naturally want to come and take a look, and I happened to meet the prince, so I came over together." ”
"Today, the two highnesses will come over, and let's witness to our government together." The old man opened his mouth neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"This is natural, the third brother of the lonely family came today to witness the Guogong Mansion."
The prince opened his mouth with a smile, and then his eyes fell on the child in the woman's arms: "This child is really good. ”
Lin Lao Guogong ignored this sentence and spoke directly: "For the sake of notarization, the person who followed the water was sent by the two highnesses, and our government also sent one person, and the three of them went together, so as not to suspect that our government was doing tricks in the water."
