Chapter Ninety-Five: The Palace Banquet Turmoil

It has only been three or two months since the Yi family entered Beijing, and there are only a handful of people present who have heard Yi Xiangxiang's name, how can the envoy of a small eastern country know the name of the daughter of the new official Shangshu, which is obviously fueled by someone behind the scenes.

It's just that the envoy of this small Dongguo doesn't look very smart, and the people behind him use him as a promoter to do something impossible, why in the end?

Yi Xiangxiang naturally didn't know that this matter was not so complicated, and the people behind it didn't think of the problem of not being rigorous enough, so naturally they didn't guess that this plan would not work.

As for Yi Xiangxiang, she is still guessing who wants to do it.

Is it actually holy? After all, if the envoy of Xiaodongguo is not really stupid, but pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, then the saint who has been talking to him will be very suspicious! What is motivation? Could it be that he regretted promoting the Yi family impulsively? But just now, his attitude is not very similar, and he doesn't seem to know who Yi Xiangxiang is now.

Or is it Zhao Zixiu? Yi Xiangxiang turned her gaze to him again, huh...... He was also quite surprised to look at it, not like a fake.

Among the rest of the people, Zhao Ziqian is the only one who knows himself and has some authority, is he the only one? Yi Xiangxiang looked at Zhao Ziqian sharply, and found that the other party had an expression of wanting to kill, and he didn't know why.

She turned her gaze around and watched everyone's reactions, still not revealing who the enemy was in the shadows. But in this way, if the enemy in the dark can be found so well, it is not called secret, she also understands this truth, but she is really aggrieved, because she really can't remember who she offended!

Zhao Zheng, who was at the top, really didn't know Yi Xiangxiang, but vaguely remembered that Zhao Ziqian said that Yi Luochuan had a sister who loved the house, so he thought of this interesting story and asked Yi Xihu and said:

"Oh? Aiqing still has such an outstanding daughter under her knees? ”

Yi Xihu eased the surprise in his heart at this moment, and saw him get up and arch his hand and say, "Back to the saint, it's Envoy An's praise!" The little girl is still too young to marry, but she has lived up to the love of Special Envoy An! ”

He is also a smart man, just now the unreasonableness of Special Envoy An made the saint angry, and he also found out, so he found an excuse to excuse himself. At the same time, he also put this very cleverly, and said that he didn't want his daughter to be the princess of the little Dongguo of this old man, and even if Special Envoy An was still pressing forward step by step under such a position, the saint would definitely not be strong.

The saint naturally will not be difficult to be strong in this matter, mainly because the reputation of the prince of Xiaodongguo is too bad, if he really pushes people out, isn't it clear that he is pushing the girl into the fire pit, then who else in the court will be loyal to a monarch like him in the future! And he also understands who pushed this envoy to estimate it, otherwise no one would choose it, but choose a little girl!

Zhao Zheng looked at Yi Xiangxiang's face, the little girl looked average, her big eyes were shining, and she didn't know who she offended at a young age.

"In our Xiaodongguo, Miss Yi can get married at this age. However, if the rules of the Rite Dynasty are important, it is also possible to make a marriage first according to the rules of the Rite Dynasty! An Jinquan pretended not to hear Yi Xihu's refusal, and said very arrogantly.

Fix your uncle's kiss! Yi Xiang Xiang belly slander.

The scene was a little embarrassing for a moment, it was inconvenient for the Holy Lord Zhao Zheng to deal with Xiao Dongguo, an envoy with no style, which would really lower his status as the dignity of a country. Even if you want to embarrass An Jinquan, it is not easy to attack by the saint, after all, you use a knife to kill chickens. But the rest of the people present were mostly watching the play, after all, the Yi family is a new upstart in the DPRK and China, and there is no alliance yet.

That's how it is! Everyone loves to do the icing on the cake, but there are very few that give charcoal in the snow.

The Yi family's isolation and helplessness are very bleak at this moment!

Although Yi Xiangxiang felt that she might be a little overbearing, she still interpreted at this moment why the officialdom of the Li Dynasty has been so turbulent in recent years, because no one really can understand Zhao Zheng. In today's situation, people who know a little bit about the heart of the emperor should stand up and condemn An Jinquan's rudeness, so that it can be regarded as in line with Zhao Zheng's intentions. It's a pity that the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and the high official position is holding the shelf, but the official position is low, but he doesn't dare to speak out!

Eh, even if Yi Xiangxiang doesn't understand the royal ways of those monarchs and ministers, what she knows is that a dynasty that does not regard national honor as a faith, and a dynasty that only cares about fighting for power and profit and will not unify its guns to the outside world will inevitably fail.

Yi Xiangxiang felt that the Holy Lord Zhao Zheng understood, otherwise he would not have shown such helpless eyes. But at the same time, he was nostalgic for the old and unwilling to change the group of ministers who followed him.

If the emperor's heart is soft, the border defense of Anseong will also be softened. If the Li Dynasty continues according to this trend, it will inevitably overturn in less than a hundred years.

Yi Xiangxiang found that her thoughts had flown far away, and she was very embarrassed! Forget it, no matter what he overturns, take care of yourself first! She gathered her thoughts.

This matter in front of me is indeed a bit tricky, although the saint will not be willing to let any noble girl go to Xiaodong to make peace, but if he refuses inappropriately, it is easy to provoke a war. The Li Dynasty was not afraid of Xiao Dongguo coming to fight, but Yi Xiangxiang was unwilling to become the so-called fuse.

Or should you not? Maybe you can take this opportunity to escape the world? Yi Xiangxiang had a flash of inspiration.

But in that case, the parents will definitely be sad! Eh, life is so hard! She sighed at the thought of this.

Zhao Zixiu, who was sitting above, kept looking at the bottom, he didn't know what Yi Xiangxiang's expression of relief and melancholy for a while represented, but no one spoke for a long time in the field, so he opened his mouth after thinking about it:

"I don't know who the envoy heard that caused you to choose Miss Yi Xiangxiang of the Yi family?"

He asked this very bluntly, and he almost asked the other party to tell who instructed you to stumble. Everyone was surprised that the fourth prince would speak out, and he was so polite.

An Jinquan was suddenly questioned like this, and froze for a while: "Weichen just heard that Miss Yi has both virtue and ability in Kyoto City, thinking that everyone said that it must be good, so he wanted to marry the prince!" ”

Hehe, do you think it's a certain Di in Guangzhou? Yi Xiangxiang sneered.

"Oh? This surprised the main hall! The rumors that the main hall has never heard of, how can the envoy of Ann hear? It seems that the main temple is not well-informed enough! Zhao Zixiu's appearance seemed to be self-deprecating, but he still forced An Jinquan's quibble.

"I guess the Fourth Highness hasn't walked in the market, right? This is not surprising. An Jinquan pushed back the words.

Now even Zhao Zixiu has no choice, if he comes up, it would be better to make an accusation, but he used euphemism, and the other party came to a death and did not admit that there was another purpose, so the scene was deadlocked again.

Yes, you have to rely on yourself.

Yi Xiangxiang brushed the folds of her clothes and was about to get up, but was stopped by Yi Luochuan.

I saw Yi Luochuan get up and look at An Jinquan, cleared his throat and said, "Thanks to Envoy An's love, but the sister will not marry Xiaodongguo!" ”

Roar, Yi Xiangxiang felt that her brother was a little domineering!

An Jinquan's face immediately darkened: "What does Gongzi Yi mean by this, is he looking down on our Xiaodongguo?" ”

He flicked his sleeves excitedly, intending to express his anger. However, his thin body was almost not dropped by the hem of his clothes, which made Yi Xiangxiang hold back a laugh suddenly, and after being glared at fiercely by the Lin family beside him, he hurriedly sat down.

Yi Luochuan pretended to think for a while, and then deliberately held his chin and replied to An Jinquan: "You are not bad at what you said. ”

"Childish hubris!" An Jinquan was about to be angry, looking at him as if he was about to rush towards Yi Luochuan, but he still paused and turned around and knelt down in the direction of Zhao Zheng, banging on the three heads: "Shengshang, Yiluochuan insults my Xiaodongguo, ask the Shengshang to be the master of my country!" ”

The people around whispered one after another, and some people directly whispered: "The Yi family is going to have a big deal this time." ”

Yi Luochuan was not afraid, but he walked out of the seat without humility or arrogance and said: "Special Envoy An, don't be excited, I will discuss with you first, the sister you chose next is worthy of Prince Dongyu, and she has both ability and political integrity!" Then I wonder if you have a reason to convince the elders of the next family to let them give their sister to the crown prince? Let's talk about it, if it is reasonable, the Yi family will definitely prepare a dowry to send my sister out! ”

At this time, he had already walked to the center of the main hall and stood next to An Jinquan in a graceful manner. And he spoke softly and politely, and he was dignified, but he had the upper hand in the dark, and the people around him stared at him intently.

Hearing this, An Jinquan proudly said to Yi Luochuan: "Our Prince Dongyu is the most handsome son of Xiaodongguo!" After he finished speaking, he looked at Yi Xiangxiang, saying that he was not very satisfied with her appearance.

Yi Xiangxiang gave him a roll of the eyes without giving him face!

Yi Luochuan smiled when he heard this, and asked pretending to be curious: "Special Envoy An, I have never met Prince Dongyu in Xia, I don't know who is better than His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince of my dynasty?" ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Zhao Ziqian, the seventh prince.

He is wearing a prince's crown dress today, and the red dragon-like pattern makes his tough facial features have a hint of charm. This is the most beautiful man recognized by the Li Dynasty, and no one dares to challenge him in terms of appearance.

Only a few people present found that Yi Luochuan's words were opportunistic, after all, no matter how good-looking these Seven Highnesses are, they can compare with Dongyu, but they have nothing to do with Yi Xiangxiang. But obviously, An Jinquan didn't find the Tao in this.

(Zhao Ziqian: Who said that I have nothing to do with Yi Xiangxiang!) Pull it out and decapitate! )

An Jinquan at this end was not afraid of being hindered, and saw that he immediately proposed a new direction: "Our Prince Dongyu is a dragon among people, his calligraphy and strategies are all excellent, and his poetry is particularly outstanding!" ”

This is true, although this Prince Dongyu is a terrible person, he is very good at writing poetry, and he is even more comfortable with obscene lyrics and songs.

Yi Luochuan shook his head when he heard this, and then felt that it was not enough and deliberately waved his hand, saying that there was nothing to show off: "Outstanding poetry is nothing, there are countless outstanding people in the Li Dynasty, and there are many literati and ink writers, and talented people!" You can't be talented in the next step, you can become a poem in three steps, and you can write words in seven steps! ”

An Jinquan naturally didn't believe it, so Yi Luochuan showed him a hand, not only three steps into poems and seven steps into words, but also a set of spring, autumn and winter! There are a total of four poems and four words, and even the artistic conception is not repeated, and it is neat! And his exposed hand not only made An Jinquan stunned, but the people around him were impressed, and even the saint Zhao Zhen applauded again and again!

Scholars, scholars! Yi Xiangxiang was envious in her heart.

An Jinquan naturally refused to know: "Miss Yi married the crown princess of my Xiaodong Kingdom, and she enjoys the glory and wealth!" ”

"The financial resources of the Li Dynasty are not weaker than those of Xiaodongguo, and my sister can also enjoy glory and wealth in this Kyoto!" Yi Luochuan still didn't care.

After being frustrated several times in a row, An Jinquan naturally couldn't hold his breath: "Miss Yi and the prince of our country are married to each other, and it is also a good friendship between the two countries!" ”

Originally, because of the back and forth in the hall just now, some people were secretly talking about Zhao Ziqian's appearance, and some people were secretly praising Yi Luochuan's talent! And at this moment, it was because of An Jinquan's sentence "good diplomatic relations" that the frolicking stopped. The reason for the concern is naturally that if a war is provoked, no matter how big or small, it will be infamous.

Look, charcoal in the snow? Hehe, it's good not to fall into the ground! Yi Xiang Xiang belly slander.

Everyone was curious about how Yi Luochuan would deal with it, and they didn't want to see him wave his sleeve and say, "Joke!" The diplomatic relations between the two countries are determined by the lords of the two countries, when it will be the turn of the daughters of the ministers to influence the peace! It's a ridiculous joke! Or does it mean that the lord of the country wants to break the contract with my court, so that he can't make a living? ”

The words are loud and clear, and the attitude of accountability is also very obvious.

"Oh? Xiao Dongguo wants to break the contract? Zhao Zheng's cool opening at the top was pinched very appropriately at the right time, which made Yi Xiangxiang admire.

"Never!" An Jinquan hurriedly kowtowed.

He just didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore no matter how stupid he was, Yi Luochuan had such a big hat buttoned down, where could he manage anything about asking for marriage, and now I can't wait for everyone to forget about this stubble.

Yi Xiangxiang had to praise his brother for being smart, if he went up, he would refuse, this matter would definitely not be solved so beautifully. Of course, the reason why things went smoothly was due to the fact that Zhao Zheng was not a faint monarch, and he would give whatever no one else said he wanted, otherwise if it was those monarchs who wanted to save trouble, they might just push people out.

The palace banquet was followed by singing and dancing, and there were no other episodes. Oh no, when the palace banquet was about to end, the Holy Lord Zhao Zheng found an excuse to reward the Yi family, and the meaning of protection was obvious.

And until the end of the palace banquet, the Lin family nervously held Yi Xiangxiang's hand, and his palms were full of cold sweat. In order to make her feel at ease, Yi Xiangxiang could only be held all the time. Later, when she went out of the palace gate, Jiang Xuanrui came over and said that she wanted to talk to Yi Xiangxiang alone, and the Lin family let her go.

The Yi family came with three cars today, and Yi Xiangxiang was alone in one car. She looked around at the people who hadn't left yet, stared at them, thought about the relationship between the two families, and called Jiang Xuanrui into the carriage.

"I'm sorry, the green hosta you gave me before, a friend of mine liked it very much, so I gave it to him." Yi Xiangxiang was the first to speak.

Jiang Xuanrui thought that Yi Xiangxiang's apologies were for the hairpin that he gave away, so he said very heartily: "It's okay, I'll pick another one for you when I go back." ”

"No, no, no, I mean I can't get you back without things, so I'm sorry! But don't send me any more things! Yi Xiangxiang said what she meant very bluntly.

"Sister Xiangxiang doesn't like that style? Then I'll ask my sister to pick out some other ones for you. Jiang Xuanrui replied.

Yi Xiangxiang didn't know if Jiang Xuanrui was pretending to be stupid or really didn't understand, but no matter which one it was, she had to make it clear today.

Yi Xiangxiang opened the skylight and said brightly: "Jiang Xuanrui, do you really not understand what I mean?" I don't need those things you sent, and you don't want to waste your time on me, we're not suitable! Don't spoil the relationship between the two families, you know? ”

She didn't want to be so ruthless, but she kept suffering from it.

"Sister Xiangxiang...... What happened to you? You...... Do you blame me for not speaking for you at the palace banquet today? You don't understand...... That kind of occasion is not suitable for me to speak, don't you think it's inconvenient for the fourth prince to say more? He didn't say a few words before stopping, and that's because none of us have a position to speak! Jiang Xuanrui hurriedly explained.

He remembered that when the two princes entered the palace today, they seemed to be familiar with Xiangxiang's sister, and later saw that the four princes deliberately spoke out, so he had some guesses in his heart.

Yi Xiangxiang helplessly held her forehead, I don't understand anything, it's you who don't understand, big brother!

She forced herself to put on a smile and say, "Understood! I know what you mean, you all have your own stand! But it doesn't matter if it's right for us, you know? Even if we don't have today, we're not fit! ”

"Why?" Jiang Xuanrui didn't understand.

"There are so many whys, if it's not suitable, it's not suitable!" Yi Xiangxiang began to lose patience, she just wanted to get out and touch the embassy of Xiaodongguo and ask who was behind the scenes!

Jiang Xuanrui saw that Yi Xiangxiang was angry, but he was very sure of his guess: "You must be angry about what happened at today's palace banquet, you listen to my explanation, it was really not that I didn't speak for you at that time, it was that I couldn't speak on that occasion, do you know?" ”

Yi Xiangxiang was originally a little bit of a temperament, but at this time she was really going to be angry, but she was afraid that the attack would be too big for people outside to hear, so she could only force herself to continue to be calm: "Okay! Jiang Xuanrui, you love me, right? ”

"Yes, yes!" Jiang Xuanrui nodded happily.

"You think you love me, not that you really love me, you know?" Yi Xiangxiang is good at seducing.

Jiang Xuanrui didn't understand the difference between the two, shook his head, and looked at Yi Xiangxiang with burning eyes.

Yi Xiangxiang sighed and said earnestly: "Don't you have to break the palace banquet with me?" Well, you see, even Zhao Zixiu, he came out and said two words, and my brother even thought of a way to turn the tide! They care about me, they love, and they want to keep me in the Li Dynasty! But what about you? They claim to love me, but they don't even have the courage to stand up! Jiang Xuanrui, love is not about right or wrong, love is about gain and loss! If you really love me, at that moment, you should worry that you might lose me, not whether you should say it or not! ”

Love is not about right or wrong, love is about gain and loss!

Yi Xiangxiang's words suddenly smashed into Jiang Xuanrui's heart, making him stunned on the spot. Zhao Zixiu, who stretched out his hand outside the carriage to lift the curtain, also paused when he heard this, and there was a place in his heart that was cleared of the haze.

And Zhao Ziqian, who was standing on the dark side of the carriage, had a dark face.

Outside the palace gate on Chinese New Year's Eve, the dappled light of the setting sun shines through layers of barriers, shining in the white snow.
