Chapter 223: The Emperor's Temptation
When Liu Qianqian heard that she was scolding herself in a roundabout way, she peeked at the stupid woman who looked like a wooden stake next to her, and she was even more angry, her face became iron-blue, and she couldn't say that the two people in front of her could only sit on the chair and sulk.
At this moment, I heard the sound of noisy footsteps, and a few people walked into the hall, Liu Qianqian's eyes were sharp, and she saw her own prince at a glance, and she walked in front of her with a high spirit, followed by the fourth prince Ming Haoping, the eighth prince Ming Haolan and the tenth prince Ming Haojie.
Nangong Nianxi quickly got up when he saw it, and said, "Greetings to all the princes!" After giving a deep bow, he stood calmly in place.
Liu Qianqian and Nangong Qingrou also asked several princes to say goodbye. Everyone exchanged a few words of greeting together, and sat down one after another.
Ming Haojie spoke first: "Nine Emperor sisters-in-law! Looking at your happy face now, the fear of the wedding has been cured by Brother Jiu. β
"Tenth brother! This was all a few days ago, so don't mention it again, and sweep everyone's Yaxing more. Ming Haoxuan said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes! Brother Jiu! I talked too much, and the ninth sister-in-law just said too much to me and apologized to you in person. β
"Tenth brother! I also follow the prince to call you like this, those who don't know are not guilty, since I mentioned this matter, I also want to thank several princes in person, I heard that when I had an accident, several princes also made a lot of efforts, I discussed with my prince, another day in the drunken fairy building to invite a few people to dinner, chat to express gratitude, and please appreciate the princes. β
"Good! All right! You can't be absent from the ninth sister-in-law, you must participate! Ming Haojie shouted childlike sexual urgency.
"Of course! It is my business, I should thank you in person, and I will also ask the prince to bring his family to attend, so that I will not be accompanied by a woman. β
"Humph! Thank you with great fanfare for this kind of thing! It's really shameless. Although the voice was extremely small, the echo of the main hall still made everyone hear her words clearly.
Liu Qianqian wanted to mumble, but she didn't expect everyone to shift their attention to her, so she simply said confidently: "Don't look at me, what I said is right, you treat her as a treasure one by one, maybe she is already a grass." has been lost for so long, and my sister is so smart, which man is not tempted by it, not to mention that there are so many men. β
"This king can testify that the ninth brother and sister were rescued by her secret guards that day, and this king guarantees that she was not bullied by bad people." Ming Hao couldn't calm down, and defended Nangong Nianxi.
"Four princes! Aren't you at odds with her? What's wrong with you, why are you trying to stand up for her? Liu Qianqian was angry and asked.
"Concubine Liu! Are you questioning the king? This king is not favoring anyone, it's just that it's about the reputation of the royal family, anyway, Nangong Nianxi used to be the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so it has nothing to do with me, but now she is the ninth princess of our Haoyue, as long as someone questions the reputation of our royal family, I, the fourth brother, have the right to maintain her reputation, and please leave a message in the mouth of Concubine Liu, and don't spread messages around. β
Liu Qianqian saw that everyone had no one to help her, so she stood on her side and spoke for her, so she said to Ming Haoduan coquettishly: "Lord Wang! Are you saying I'm wrong? She had been robbed for hours......"
"Shut up! Have you been here for a long time and bored, so you can be so open-mouthed? Don't forget who you are now? Ming Haoduan scolded her.
Liu Qianqian looked at Ming Haoduan suspiciously, she couldn't believe that these words came out of his mouth, she was such a high-ranking daughter of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and she deigned to marry him as a side concubine, which was already self-surrendering, and now he actually embarrassed her in front of so many people, who did she do all this for!
"Lord Wang! Who is the eldest lady of my dignified Prime Minister's Mansion marrying you to sit as a side concubine? How can you yell at me like that, and for other women? You didn't do that to me before. Liu Qianqian yelled.
Ming Haoduan didn't want her to be embarrassed here, and shouted: "Concubine Liu! You also know that you are the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion! Where have you learned etiquette, if you think that you are wronged by the side concubine of my palace, you can go to your father, and I can give you back your freedom! β
When Liu Qianqian heard this, she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and said, "Lord Wang! Brother Duan! I was wrong, I shouldn't have talked nonsense and slandered the Ninth Princess with no back, don't be angry, I was wrong, today is our day of gratitude, don't be angry, I don't dare to say more! β
Ming Haoduan just scared and scared her, and when he saw her bow her head and admit her mistake, he no longer embarrassed her, and said with a black face: "Okay!" Hurry up! What kind of system is it to cry and cry in the harem, and do you know if you don't talk much in the future? β
"Yes! Rajah! After speaking, he slowly got up, wiped his tears, and when he secretly touched his tears, he glared at Nangong Nianxi fiercely with his eyes, and said in his heart: "Little slut! I didn't expect you to unknowingly, with so many helpers, even the four princes who usually go against you also helped you, you are really a water-based Yang Hua, you will seduce men anytime and anywhere, this time I lost, you wait for me, I won't let you have a good time if you have a chance in the future. β
Ming Haoduan watched her sit back in place, and then said: "Let the brothers and Nian Xi see each other, Miss Liu's temper is still not restrained, I have no way to teach, I will discipline her well in the future, Nian Xi just invited me and my brothers to attend on time." β
Nangong Nian mentioned himself in the past, and said politely: "Thank you Duan Wang Ye and all the princes for appreciating the light, the time is set, and I and the prince are waiting for you in the Drunken Immortal Building!" β
Everyone greeted each other, and saw a little eunuch hurriedly walk in and said, "Ladies and gentlemen! Princess! The emperor dictated, meet you in the imperial study! Everyone, please! β
The little eunuch then turned around and walked ahead to lead the way. Nangong Nianxi was led by Ming Haoxuan at the end,Ming Haojie walked behind the two,Whispered:"Brother Jiu, you also spoil the ninth sister-in-law too much,Pull when you walk,Are you afraid that the ninth sister-in-law will get lost and can't find the way to the imperial study!" β
Ming Haoxuan nodded with a smile after hearing this: "Yes!" I'm just afraid that she will get lost, and I'm afraid that people like you will come and take your ninth sister-in-law away. β
"Sister-in-law Nine is good, I just love to be with her, her theory and mind are very advanced, Sister-in-law Nine has kung fu, I will go to the palace to see if you are okay!" Ming Haojie deliberately said in front of Ming Haoxuanγ
Nangong Nianxi listened and said, "Okay! As long as your ninth brother agrees, you can come and play at any time. β
"Brother Jiu! You heard that the ninth sister-in-law agreed, don't be stingy! β
"I don't agree, you won't go to my palace, and it's not unimpeded like your own home."
"That's good! That's settled, I'll play tomorrow. After speaking, he looked at Ming Haoxuan proudly.
Ming Haoxuan hid Nangong Nianxi beside him, and said softly: "Tomorrow, the tenth brother is here, stay away from him!" β
While talking and chatting, he walked to the imperial study after a while, Nangong Nianxi was here last time, so as everyone bowed their heads and walked in, according to the high and low position of the identity, Nangong Nianxi stood next to Ming Haoxuan and stood in the next position.
Bow and bow down to thank you, after a process, Nangong Nianxi secretly said: "This ancient time is really true, when you meet and talk to your boss, you kneel and kowtow at every turn, and your knees are blue." The next time I want to come to the palace again, I must make a small cotton pad and tie it to my knees, and how many times I kneel at that time, how long it will not hurt as much as it is now. β
After standing, Nangong Nianxi raised his eyes and secretly looked at the emperor sitting in front of the desk, and saw that his bright yellow robe was embroidered with the pattern of the dragon of the sea, the corners of the robe were embroidered with turbulent golden waves, the flying long eyebrows were slightly raised, and the black pupils like ink jade flashed with a warm light, with the majesty of the gods and the innate nobility of the body, the whole person emitted a kind of king aura that shocked the world, and his face was puffed with a dissolute smile at this time.
I saw him open his mouth and smile: "Okay, good! One by one, they have grown up, and they are adults when they get married, and adults must go through the baptism of storms, thunder and lightning to do things, so Duan'er! What do you think about the things that my father mentioned in the early court today? β
Ming Haoduan heard his father asking him, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Father! Thank you for handing over your birthday to the child, the child will definitely complete the matter and make the envoys of various countries satisfied! β
"Good! This is the first time you have held a birthday banquet independently after your wedding, so you must be safe, Ping'er! It's up to you to help him with this, and make sure it's foolproof. The two thanked them and then retreated to their positions.
"Can you remember the past?" The emperor sat up straight and looked back.
Nangong Nianxin said: "Isn't it just to thank you?" And what's the matter with me? Not daring to think about it, Ming Haoxuan shook it lightly with her hand to show encouragement, she hurriedly stepped forward a few steps and saluted: "Your Majesty!" The courtiers are here! β
"Hahaha...... In the past, now that you are the ninth princess, you should call me with Xuan'er, "Father!" β
After hearing this, Nangong Nianxi immediately changed his words and said: "The daughter-in-law is here!" What instructions does the Emperor have? β
Ming Haotian nodded with satisfaction: "Okay!" You and Xuan'er got married, and you were frightened, and your father felt deeply sorry, so be it! In order to compensate you, your father rewarded you with a pair of bracelets. β
As soon as the words fell, I saw that the emperor's father-in-law was holding a delicate jujube square box in his hand, and handed it to Nangong Nianxi with both hands, and Gonggong Gao whispered in his ear: "Nine princesses!" The contents are valuable, so be careful! Nangong Nianxi raised his eyes to look at him and replied softly, "Thank you Gonggong Gao for reminding me." Then he gave a grateful look.
Nangong Nianxi respectfully took the box, opened it and looked at it, and suddenly the golden light flashed, and the few people next to him were all taken aback, Minghao glanced at it, but he still looked at his past.
Nangong Nianxi looked carefully, this pair of gold bracelets, elegant, expensive and rich in cultural heritage, surrounded by floral patterns, with a hollow phoenix in the middle, two night pearls on the eyes, and an olivine on the top of the phoenix's head. Peridot symbolizes harmony and happiness for husband and wife.
While Nangong Nianxi looked at it carefully, his brain was also running rapidly: "Is this the legendary "Golden Phoenix Bracelet"? Isn't this bracelet, which symbolizes the meaning of the queen, supposed to be in the hands of the queen? What is the purpose of rewarding me? The errand of this birthday was handed over to Duan Wangye, which means that the emperor intends to train him to let him take over, and this is to reward me with a phoenix bracelet, is it a temptation? β
So Gan Man knelt down and said, "Father! If the daughter-in-law is not mistaken, this should be a "golden phoenix bracelet", and the daughter-in-law dare not accept it! Please also ask my father to take it back! β
Ming Haotian looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, and motioned to Gonggong Gao to take the box back, and heard Ming Haotian say some words again, which made Nangong Nianxi think deeply.
