Chapter 217: Rivalry

Xuan Feng looked at Zhao Qianqian, who was biting her lip with a difficult face, and was bored playing with the glass cup in her hand, for the woman in front of him, he was bound to win.

Even if Mu Yao doesn't give marriage, he has his own way to get her!

Zhao Qianqian's brows were furrowed, and she glanced at Xuan Feng with disgust, and was about to speak.

"Father's grace." A warm and clear voice sounded above the main hall, and everyone followed the voice, and the person who spoke was Xuan Yue.

Mu Yao was also stunned, he didn't expect Xuan Yue to stand up and speak at this time.

"You say."

Xuan Yue got up and walked to the center of the main hall, standing side by side with Xuan Feng, between Xuan Feng and Zhao Qianqian.

"Father, son-in-law courage, please ask your father to marry." Xuanyue knelt down on her knees, looked at her and said word by word.

The people present were also slightly stunned when they heard this, because in their hearts, Xuanyue, the fifth prince, had never had any sense of existence, and he would not even attend some palace banquets on weekdays, let alone openly ask Mu Yao to marry on such an occasion.

Mu Yao was also particularly shocked by his son's sudden request. Looking at Xuan Yue's eyes, revealing a faint light, Mu Yao suddenly found that he seemed to have ignored this son for too long.

Relieved, Mu Yao raised his voice and asked, "Today is a good day, I don't know which young lady Yue'er is asking for?" ”

It was rare for him to be so close to Xuan Yue, and even Xuan Yue herself was a little uncomfortable. But he didn't show it, he still folded his hands in front of his chest, made an arch gesture, and said: "What the retainer asks for is also the young lady of the General's Mansion, Zhao Qianqian Zhao girl." ”

His voice was clear and powerful, with a steadfastness that could not be ignored.

Everyone present gasped in shock, tonight's banquet was really unexpected.

Zhao Qianqian stood in place in a daze, staring at Xuan Yue, who was kneeling on the ground, and suddenly there was a storm in her heart.

"Xuanyue! Do you know what you're doing? Xuan Feng was annoyed when he saw that his good deeds were disturbed by Xuan Yue, so he immediately rushed forward, looked at Xuan Yue condescensively and asked.

Xuan Yue raised her head and said in a calm voice: "Brother Huang said that it was a joke, marriage is not a child's play, of course I know what I am doing." ”

He has been secretly living in this palace for so many years, and it is the first time that he has been so presumptuous.

Xuan Feng thought that Xuan Yue, who was cowering before, now dared to compete with him for the woman he liked in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, and the anger in his heart was unquenchable, and he leaned down suddenly and grabbed Xuan Yue's collar.

"Stop!" Almost at the same time, Zhao Qianqian rushed over and crossed in front of Xuan Yue, her eyebrows furrowed, staring at Xuan Feng deadly.

With such a posture, the intention of maintaining Xuanyue could not be more obvious.

For a while, above the main hall, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Mu Yao sat above, watching in silence, and didn't say anything about the two brothers openly arguing. It's still Concubine Dong, seeing that Mu Yao's face seems to be a little unsightly, so she came out to play a round.

"Feng'er, don't mess around. Although Miss Zhao is good, since she has already fallen in love with the five princes, it is not good for you to intervene again. If you don't hurry back, it's nothing like this on the top of the hall. Concubine Dong Guifei looked at Xuan Feng and scolded softly.

Her words sounded like she was scolding Xuan Feng, but every word implied that Zhao Qianqian and Xuan Yue had already made a private decision for life and did not abide by women's morals.

Everyone present was shrewd, how could he not hear the meaning of her words.

Everyone in the Zhao family was also full of anger when they heard this, but because of Dong Guifei's identity, it was difficult to say anything.

"The concubine said with a smile." Xuan Yue's voice was clear and shallow, but inexplicably powerful, he broke free from Xuan Feng's shackles, got up and looked at Dong Guifei and said: "I and Miss Zhao are not what the concubine said, all along, I have always loved Miss Zhao with all my heart, and she didn't know. ”

When she said the latter sentence, Xuan Yue's gaze moved to Zhao Qianqian.

The heartbeat was like a beat, and Zhao Qianqian only felt that her head was blank, and she couldn't say a word.

Dong Guifei was still smiling when she heard this, but there was a chill in her eyes.

"That being the case, I don't know what Miss Zhao thinks?" Mu Yao sat upright, looked at Zhao Qianqian, and asked in a loud voice. His expression was flat, he couldn't see any joy or anger, and he couldn't guess what his attitude was towards Xuanyue's love for Zhao Qianqian.

Zhao Qianqian was still stunned by what Fang Cai Xuanyue said at this time, and she didn't hear what Mu Yao was asking at all, and stood there dumbfounded.

Her silence made Xuan Yue's heart sink.

He turned around, arched his hand towards Zhao Qianqian in a dignified manner, and said seriously: "Today's incident is really abrupt to me, if it causes trouble to Miss Zhao, I am deeply sorry here." ”

He paused when he said this, looked up at her deeply, and continued: "But what I just said is from my heart, and I hope that Miss will consider it carefully." After three days, it is possible to reply again. ”

Zhao Qianqian nodded slightly, and returned to her seat with a red face, from what happened to the present, her mind was completely blank. Seeing that she was in a trance, Xu asked Zhao Qianqian to accompany her to leave the palace banquet first under the pretext that she was uncomfortable.

was so troubled by Fang Cai's matter, Xuan Feng had long lost interest, and left early, and the banquet ended.

At that time, it was already dawn, Xuan Yue walked towards her palace with a gloomy face, followed by Mama Xu.

Mama Xu's hand holding the lantern trembled slightly, and Xuan Yue immediately took it when she saw it and moved closer to her. Over the years, only Mama Xu has been by her side, caring about him like his mother. Now, it's his turn to take care of her.

Mama Xu was very relieved in her heart, there was no one in the middle of the night, and she was not so cautious.

"Your Highness, today in the main hall, you really shouldn't be so willful." She whispered, still feeling a little uneasy. At that time, on the top of the main hall, watching Xuan Feng and Xuan Yue fighting, she was really scared and broke out in a cold sweat.

Xuan Yue lowered his head when he heard this, today's events were indeed beyond his expectations. But if he doesn't, he's afraid he'll regret it for the rest of his life.

"Your Highness, you have been enduring for so many years, if this matter makes the queen and others suspicious, then how can it be good." Seeing that Xuanyue didn't speak, Mama Xu became more and more anxious in her heart.

Xuan Yue interrupted her words and said softly, "Okay, Mama, I have my own plan in my heart." As for Miss Zhao, I really love her. ”

The bright moon hung high, making his face as handsome as jade, and the words he said were also extraordinarily gentle.

At that time, Mu Liang did not return to the palace after leaving the palace, but went straight to Gu Jiuge. Leaving in a hurry at the palace banquet today, he only asked Haitang to leave him a message, and Mu Liang couldn't help but be a little worried. And the matter of the two Xuanfeng and Xuanyue brothers asking for marriage is afraid that Gu Jiuge did not expect it.

In the small courtyard of drinking songs, Gu Jiuge had not yet freshened up, and she easily took Situ Luo away from the scene, otherwise she was afraid that Situ Luo would still repeat the mistakes of his previous life and die tragically at the hands of Xuan Feng.

"What do you think of so distracted?" Mu Liang walked behind her lightly, leaned over to her ear and whispered.

Gu Jiuge was shocked, and when he turned around and saw that it was him, he calmed down.

"It's nothing, Luo'er is not feeling well today, I will accompany her back."

Mu Liang tilted his head, looked at her with doting eyes, and said: "It's a pity that you are not here today, Xuanfeng asked the imperial brother for marriage." As if he was deliberately trying to appease Jiu Ge's appetite, he paused in the middle of his words.

Gu Jiuge's hand making tea paused, in the previous life, Xuanfeng begged for Situ Luo, but in this life, she took Situ Luo away, Xuanfeng didn't see her face at all, and he didn't know which young lady was so unlucky and was taken by Xuanfeng, a prodigal.

"Oh? I don't know which lady it is? Gu Jiuge asked as if he didn't have an intention.

"It's your grandfather's sister, Zhao Qianqian."

Mu Liang's words fell, Gu Jiu Singer trembled, and all the tea was poured outside.

She raised her head suddenly, her brows tightly twisted together, and asked urgently, "It's Qianqian!" Did Your Majesty agree? She grabbed Mu Liang's sleeves with both hands, as if she was extremely nervous.

It wasn't until Mu Liang shook her head that she breathed a sigh of relief.

Situ Luo treats her well, she naturally has to find a way to save her from the fire pit, but if Zhao Qianqian, who is harmed by this, falls into the clutches of the devil, then she will really hate herself to death. In the end, even if she didn't want to fight for her life, she would never send Zhao Qianqian to Xuan Feng.

"Your Majesty didn't agree, presumably my grandfather and uncle didn't agree." Gu Jiuge took a deep breath, and then said reluctantly calmly.

"It's not." Mu Liang shook his head and said, "It's because Xuanyue also made a request to the imperial brother to ask the imperial brother to marry Miss Zhao to him." ”

This news is far more shocking than Xuan Feng's proposal to marry Zhao Qianqian, she knows that Xuan Yue has always been an indisputable character, and has survived on thin ice in the palace for so many years, in order to survive, he has been sick all the year round, does not participate in any court affairs, and never has any dealings with courtiers.

But now, he asked Mu Yao to marry Zhao Qianqian. Moreover, it is still competing with Xuanfeng.

It's incredible.

"You're shocked, aren't you?" Seeing Gu Jiuge's surprise, Mu Liang tapped the tip of her nose and asked with a smile.

Gu Jiu Ge nodded gloomily and said, "Then Your Majesty can agree to the request of the Fifth Prince?" ”

"No, because Xuan Yue herself proposed to let Miss Zhao think about it, and it will not be too late to give him an answer after three days." Mu Liang took Gu Jiuge's hand and held it in his hand, sighed lightly, and said, "What do you think of Xuanyue?" ”

Gu Jiuge fell into deep thought when she heard this, even if she was reborn in a lifetime, she still didn't dare to evaluate Xuan Yue.

"At the very least, he should be sincere to Qian'er." Gu Jiuge only said this sentence, and then there was no more follow-up.

In Gu Jiuge's heart, if she had to choose between Xuanfeng and Xuanyue, she would naturally stand on Xuanyue's side, and Mu Liang must be the same.
