Chapter 43: The Queen Mother Gives Marriage
The other women here have been trying it for a long time, and they have been preparing for this day for two months. Just to fly on the branches once and live a rich and glorious life as a superior person.
There are a lot of golden single sweaters here, and they are all the targets they are chasing. Among them, the most noble is the emperor, everyone knows that he has imperial concubines and several concubines, but the position of the queen has been vacant. Although the Queen Mother and the ministers have played several times, they hope that the emperor will consolidate the harem and extend the descendants as soon as possible. But the emperor was not in a hurry, he just said that he would wait and talk about it first.
And then there is the second golden bachelor, which is King Xiao. If you want to be a queen, it is like ascending to the sky, but if you want to be Princess Xiao, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky.
The third is the little marquis of the night, although he is unruly, but so far the house is empty. Maybe it's the old marquis's strictness, right? So far, there is not even a concubine.
So if you are favored by any of these three, you can have no worries for the rest of your life. What's more, these three people are all good-looking, and they are dragons and phoenixes. Not to mention being a wife, even being a concubine is also infinitely honorable.
Only now did Xia Xiaoxuan know that the so-called peony flower meeting was a blind date meeting in disguise.
She wasn't interested in the banquet at all, but she was interested in the food on the table. While enjoying the beautiful singing and dancing, the food is fragrant.
During this time, the appetite in the palace was also raised, and the food here was similar to that of the palace. However, I heard that the fruits here are all delivered overnight from all over the world, so they are fresh?
She peeled a lychee, which was white and tender and moist, and it was indeed freshly picked. How manpower does this take? This reminded her of Yang Guifei, because she liked lychees, Emperor Tang Ming asked people to send lychees thousands of miles away, just to make her smile.
"Like lychees?" Xiao Junluo watched her study the peeled lychee for a long time, and he also studied her for a long time.
"Have you ever heard a sentence, 'When you ride the red dust and the concubine laughs, no one knows that it is a lychee'? There was once a concubine who liked to eat lychees, and the king spared no expense to let people send fresh lychees from thousands of miles away every day. If it's not fresh enough, the person who delivers the lychee and the magistrate will be unlucky. “
Xiao Junluo raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that this rough woman still knew poetry. More interested in the lychee in her hand.
"Is lychee really that delicious? How I didn't see it. “
"That's because you're blind, and you don't look like a pearl when you look at lychees?"
Xia Xiaoxuan regretted it as soon as she finished showing off, because she found that her hands were empty. And the tender lychee meat has entered the mouth of a slut.
"Yes, it's okay."
A certain woman clenched her fist and gritted her teeth, if it wasn't for the wrong occasion, she would definitely give him an old punch.
It's just that this inadvertent scene fell into the eyes of the Son of Heaven
, the smile deepened under his eyes. is really an interesting woman, no wonder King Xiao, who can make his heart like a stubborn stone, move his heart.
But it became dazzling in Luo Qingwen's eyes, she sat next to the eighth princess, the jealousy in her eyes was about to erupt, and the handkerchief in her hand was twisted by her and deformed. She wished it was the woman's neck that she was twisting at this moment.
The eighth princess just patted the back of her hand lightly and gave her a slightly calming look, and Luo Qingwen gradually calmed down the anger in her heart, and glared at the opposite side fiercely with a pretty face.
Xia Xiaoxuan naturally felt the two discordant gazes, stabbed the people around her, and whispered, "That cousin of yours seems to be going to eat me." “
Xiao Junluo didn't raise his head, and drank a cup with the emperor in the air.
"Are you scared?"
Joke, who was she afraid of? But now she has another question in mind, "I'm not afraid of her, I just don't like to be taken advantage of." surnamed Xiao, you don't like your cousin in the first place, and you want to use me to hit her. "Then protect the woman behind him.
She didn't ask this sentence, but she felt very uncomfortable when she thought of it.
The man just replied to her lightly, "You think too much." ”
Is it thinking too much? It's really that this black-bellied man is too elusive. She won't be stupid enough to be sold and pay back to the number of people, right?
At this time, the dance music stopped, and it was the sister of the imperial concubine who had just finished dancing, the woman who had provoked Xia Xiaoxuan just now.
"Wan'er's dancing is really beautiful and moving, and she deserves to be the sister of the imperial concubine. The mourning family remembered that the graceful dance of the city made the emperor happy, and immediately sealed the concubine. ”
The imperial concubine was busy with the blessing ceremony, "I also want to thank the Queen Mother for her support." ”
The Queen Mother smiled, "Get up." Then he looked at Li Wanqing below and praised: "Wanqing's appearance and character are no worse than Wanrong, and her age has reached marriageable age, right?" But if you have someone you like, say it and help you with your staff. ”
Li Wanqing knelt on the ground shyly, her eyes casually glanced in the direction of Xiao Junluo, and her cheeks became even more rosy.
"Back to the Queen Mother, the folk girl is still young and doesn't want to leave her parents yet."
The Queen Mother couldn't help but laugh coquettishly after hearing this, "You girl is duplicitous, do you think you can hide it from the eyes of the mourning family?" ”
"The women don't dare." Li Wanqing hurriedly kowtowed to the ground.
"Alright, get up. The mourning family is also a person who has come over and understands your mind. The Queen Mother seemed to have realized and looked in the direction of King Xiao, and said: "It is indeed a talented and beautiful woman, a natural pair." ”
As soon as this sentence fell, Luo Qingwen couldn't bear it. looked at the eighth princess nervously, she promised to help her at the beginning, why did she make wedding dresses for others so quickly.
The eighth princess received her distress message and slowly got up, "Queen Mother, you don't know anything. Miss Luo and Xiao Wang are childhood sweethearts
Ma, when I heard that Mrs. Xiao was alive, she intended to let her enter the Xiao family. It's just that Mrs. Xiao went early, and King Xiao has been running around the border in the past few years, so it's delayed, don't you break up the good marriage? ”
These words made Li Wanqing, who was kneeling in the main hall, tighten her hand holding her skirt. Ye Ziyu, who had been sitting on the side and had been concentrating on the song and dance, finally had a hint of schadenfreude on his expression.
Baili Jinchen also looked like he had nothing to do with himself, drinking a little wine lightly and watching a good show.
The Queen Mother looked a little embarrassed when she heard this, looked left and right at Luo Qingwen and Li Wanqing, and suddenly made a decision.
"The mourning family feels that these two daughters have their own merits, and it is difficult to distinguish between them. It's better to give it to King Xiao together, regardless of size, a concubine, a flat wife, what does King Xiao want? “
It's like stabbing a person, the position and size are all found, and then you say to the master, I'm going to stab you, you have no opinion.
After hearing about this incident, everyone praised the Queen Mother for her wisdom and discernment. Some people can't wait to congratulate King Xiao.
"Congratulations, congratulations, Yanfu is not shallow?" Xia Xiaoxuan naturally didn't hesitate to send her blessings, now he can't pretend to be a saint in front of her, right? She can finally get rid of him, right?
Who knew that the man ignored her, and went to the hall with a cold face.
Xia Xiaoxuan thought that he couldn't wait to thank him, but when he saw him standing up, he leaned over slightly and saluted the Queen Mother: "Jun Luo thank the Queen Mother for her kindness, but Jun Luo already has a marriage contract." As the so-called bad wife does not go to court, even if she has a bad background, Junluo cannot do something treacherous, please ask the Queen Mother to do it. “
His sonorous words were appreciated by many ministers. But what they are more curious about is, who is his chaff?
Xia Xiaoxuan was also curious, could it be that his mysterious lover was finally about to surface?
"Why haven't the mourning family heard King Xiao say this before? I wonder where your betrothed one is? “
The Queen Mother finally asked the question in everyone's hearts, and looked at King Xiao curiously together.
I saw Xiao Junluo raise his head and look in Xia Xiaoxuan's direction, when all eyes followed King Xiao to look at her, Xia Xiaoxuan subconsciously looked back, and after making sure that there was no one else around her, she knew that they were looking at herself. At that time, a grape was stuck in her throat, and she was red in the face.
But when her expression fell in the eyes of others, she became shy. Everyone sighed in unison in their hearts, I see.
"Who is this woman? Whose daughter? “
The Queen Mother looked at Xia Xiaoxuan with a not very friendly look, probably blaming her for ruining her plan.
Xia Xiaoxuan, who had always wanted to be an ostrich, had to be listed when her name was mentioned, knelt with Luo Qingwen and them, and kowtowed to the ground.
