Chapter 350: Concubine Election Turmoil
Yan Ji is biting the marriage contract and refuses to let go, what should he do with it? Xiao Chuhan frowned, and made countless ideas in his heart. In any case, it is necessary to settle this matter before leaving, and it really can't be done, so I have to ......
Xiao Chuhan was silent, and the murderous intent flashed in his heart.
"Okay, don't worry, let's think about Yuhuan these days, it's really not good, I'll go back with Xueyin first, so as not to give her a chance to trouble me." Yun Yao saw that he was sullen, but comforted him a few words.
"Yun'er, I'm sorry, I blamed me for being too incompetent and letting you be wronged." Xiao Chuhan cleaned up his thoughts and forced a smile.
Yun Yao hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Don't talk about this. It's already happened, and it's useless to talk about it now, let's think about how to solve it. β
"Well, I'll take care of this and won't put you in danger again." Xiao Chuhan looked at no one around, pulled Yun Yao into his arms, hugged him tightly for a moment, and then let go of his hand and said, "Let's go, the dinner will start soon." β
Xiao Chuhan returned with Yun Yao the same way, found Ling Bo waiting at the intersection, and rushed to the banquet hall with him.
This was the first grand meeting held since Bai Wei ascended the throne, and it coincided with the New Year, and the Great Elder Yao Xuan prepared very thoughtfully in order to gain Bai Wei's favor.
The hall is lit up with lights, the tables are full of delicacies, and the most popular kabuki are invited from outside to dance on the spot, and the atmosphere in the hall is grand and festive.
The entire banquet hall is divided into two rooms, inside and outside, several elders and princes of Sizhou accompany Bai Wei in the inner hall, and other officials and their families are sitting outside, and it is not noisy in the inner hall. Yun Yao sat on the seat of Xiliang, Ling Bo and Xue Yin served behind the two, and the others also brought their families to the table.
Yun Yao looked at the opposite side, and several familiar figures came into view, it was the eldest ladies led by Yan Ji, and she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
These eldest ladies are also considered to be people with heads and faces in the God King City, they were thrown into the water by Xueyin just now, and no one was willing to make decisions for them, and they were taught a lesson by their own father, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Today is the banquet of the god king, if they dare to make trouble here, not only will they not be able to protect themselves, but they will also cause trouble to the elders of the family. At most, they only dared to glare at Yun Yao viciously, but none of them dared to provoke on the spot.
Yun Yao didn't want to pay attention to them, she still had a lot of business to do, so she didn't want to compete with a few ignorant girls.
A maid led everyone to their own table and sat down, and after a while, they heard the sound of silk and bamboo, and Bai Wei walked into the main hall under the escort of several attendants, and everyone hurriedly got up and saluted, and shouted in unison: "Welcome to His Majesty the God King!" β
"Excuse me, everyone, sit down." Bai Wei sat on the throne of the head of the lord, nodded to the Great Elder, and said, "Let's start." β
Yao Xuan clapped his hands, the musicians hurriedly played drum music, and the maids sent all kinds of wine and delicacies to the palace like water.
Bai Wei picked up his wine glass and said to everyone: "You are all the mainstays of the Great Wilderness, and I hope to work together in the future to ensure the prosperity and peace of our Great Wilderness Country." β
"The ministers will live up to the trust of the god king!" Everyone hurriedly drank the wine in their cups, and the dinner officially began.
The white nightmare did not put on a shelf at all, and frequently raised a glass to drink with everyone during the banquet, and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed and warm. Yao Xuan saw that the God King was quite interested, and hurriedly glanced at the second elder Hu Bin, and Hu Bin stood up knowingly.
He raised his glass and walked to the middle of the main hall, and said respectfully: "His Majesty the God King has the world in his heart, this mind is really admirable, I salute Your Majesty with a glass." So saying, he drank the wine from his glass.
Bai Wei raised his glass to his lips and smiled lightly, "I still have to rely on the elders." β
Seeing that the God King was in a good mood, Hu Bin hurriedly said according to Yao Xuanjiao's words: "Your Majesty, the villain has a proposal, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." β
Bai Wei put down the wine glass and said: "As long as it is a good deed for the benefit of the country and the people, this king will naturally obey it, but the second elder said that it is okay." β
"Hehe, Your Majesty, you are young and healthy now, but this harem is a little empty, should you also consider choosing a few concubines to fill up? Your descendants are flourishing, and our great wilderness can be more prosperous. β
Hey, this person is really good at breaking around, what does Xiaobai's heir have to do with the national strength of the Great Wilderness? Yun Yao listened amusefully on the side, and looked up to see Bai Wei's reaction.
Bai Wei was obviously stunned, his eyes showed playfulness, and he asked with a smile: "Oh, I don't know if the Second Elder has any good candidates?" β
Seeing the smile on his face, Hu Bin thought that he was very interested in his proposal, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand and pointed to the banquet: "Your Majesty, you see, today's event, most of the nobles in this city are here, it is better to call them all up and ask you to see each other, if Your Majesty is interested, the ministers will also feel honored." β
"Hehe, today the king just invited you to a banquet, so you don't need to look at each other, right?" White Nightmare looked at the young ladies, not very interested.
Hu Bin was a little unsure of his eyes, he just thought that Bai Wei was embarrassed, and he couldn't help but agitate there: "Your Majesty, they are here anyway, let's see if it's a matter of the way." If you don't like all the ladies here, the villain will choose another one for you. β
"Oh? Is it okay for all the ladies here? Somehow, Bai Wei glanced at Yun Yao, as if he was really interested.
Hu Bin wanted to sell Yan Ji to him, how could he care about the deep meaning of his words, nodded again and again, and laughed: "This is natural, no matter which young lady Your Majesty has a crush on, as long as she has not yet married, the old minister will arrange it for you." β
The White Tare smiled faintly and nodded, then stopped talking.
Hu Bin was clever at this time, and without waiting for the God King to speak, he hurriedly ordered someone to go to the outer hall to give an order, and called the ladies of the low-level officials' families into the main hall.
Bai Wei's status is noble and magnificent, and the miracles revealed that day have also been known to several elders, and when they heard that he was going to choose a concubine, those ladies were excited, and hurriedly arranged their dresses and followed the maids to the inner hall. The people who didn't get married were all elated, and those who had already made a marriage beat their chests, and they couldn't wait to divorce their fiancΓ©s immediately, and they also squeezed in to join in the fun.
The dancing girls all withdrew from the main hall, and there was a large space in the middle, and the young ladies were neatly arranged according to the size of their father's and brother's official positions, and they all greeted the god king on the seat.
Yun Yao had already eaten almost, and when she caught up with such a good show, she hurriedly put down her chopsticks and held her cheeks to watch the excitement. Xiaobai is also her friend, she wants to see how his vision is.
Bai Wei looked at the group of women in the hall, reached out and rubbed the corners of his forehead vaguely, and asked, "Are all the people here?" β
"Your Majesty, wait a minute, there are still a few young ladies." Hu Bin hurriedly glanced at Yao Xuan, and preemptively called the niece he brought over and arranged for her to stand in the front row, and several other people also joined in the fun and called out the young ladies they brought.
Yao Xuan glanced at Yan Ji a few times, but she only looked at Xiao Chuhan and Yun Yao opposite with hatred, and she was not moved at all.
Bai Wei didn't want to wait, he looked at the group of girls below who couldn't help peeking at him, frowned and asked, "That's it?" Are the other ladies here already married? β
The third elder saw that Bai Xiao's expression was slightly unhappy, and hurriedly gaged: "Your Majesty, although the old minister came with her little girl, she has already married the youngest son of Elder Chen's family this spring. Oh, the little girl is really unlucky! If Elder Chen didn't mind, the old minister would be willing to ask the little girl to go up and join in the fun. β
Elder Chen knew that he was joking, and he hurriedly laughed and said, "This is not good, my new house is ready, and I am still waiting to hold a big grandson next year!" Old man, you have to hide my future daughter-in-law, otherwise don't blame my brother for being in a hurry with you. β
As soon as the two of them broke up, the ladies in the hall also held the venue to cover their mouths and chuckle, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed. Yao Xuan took the opportunity to push Yan Ji and said, "Yan'er, didn't you say that you wanted to see the God King?" Don't hurry up yet! β
"Haven't I seen it already, why are you going up there? He is going to choose a concubine, what kind of fun do I have to make if I have already decided to marry? Yan Ji only had the two people opposite in her eyes, and she only casually said a perfunctory word about her father's words.
What the? Didn't you say that I would go to great lengths if you were interested in the God King? Yao Xuan was almost so angry with her that a Buddha was born, and he trembled with his hands, not knowing whether he should drag this wrongdoer up.
Bai Xiao's gaze swept over the women below, shook his head and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please go back first." β
That's it? Don't like it all? Everyone couldn't help but be disappointed.
Although the princess was suddenly seen this time, everyone had some ambition in their hearts. Whether it is for beauty or power, since he is standing in the palace, who doesn't want to be favored by the god king, and from then on become the most noble woman in the Great Wilderness.
"Well, I knew I would have spent more time dressing up today." A young lady muttered to her best friend, which resonated with several people around her.
"Yes, who knew that the God King was going to choose a concubine today, I just thought it was an ordinary banquet, and I didn't wear my most expensive set of jewelry."
"Will you be worse than me? I was obviously dressed up beautifully, but I was pushed down the pool by a wild girl, so I had to change my clothes casually! β
"What are you anxious about? His Majesty the God King didn't fancy anyone today, and in the future, we will have to choose another time from among us. Seeing His Majesty's true face today, I have no regrets in this life! β
The young ladies whispered as they exited the inner sanctum, and in a short time they were gone.
Bai Wei looked at the empty hall and laughed at himself: "Are there no unmarried women anymore?" It seems that the king's red luan star has not moved. Forget it, let's have a drink, don't mention the matter of choosing a concubine. β
Don't mention it? How can this work? Yao Xuan was in a hurry, and he didn't care about taking care of Yan Ji's emotions anymore, so he stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the little girl Yan Ji is outstanding, gentle and virtuous, and the old minister is cheeky and self-recommended, and I hope Your Majesty will not give up." β
The daughter of the Great Elder? Bai Wei looked at Yan Ji beside Yao Xuan, and was about to give him a face to ask Yan Ji to come out, Yan Ji couldn't bear to get up and said: "Your Majesty, the courtiers and Xiao Chuhan, the king of Xiliang, have already had a marriage contract, and I hope that Your Majesty will fulfill it and give me an early marriage with him." β
