173 Contest to choose relatives
In the second half of the night, there was a sudden strong wind, lightning and thunder, and the door was creaky. Woke up many people's sweet dreams, and this storm was already clear when the sun was shining, and the last few drops of water were falling down on the edge of the eaves, which was very beautiful.
The banquet for entertaining the princess of Northern Xinjiang and Xuan Chen and others was set up in the splendid Qingning Palace, where there was a mixture of ideas and laughter, but everyone here seemed to be happy, but in fact, they all had their own thoughts.
"The ministers of the northern frontier will pay tribute to His Majesty Gu Cang for a cup."
"Be polite to the minister."
The emperor on the main seat was dressed in a yellow makeup satin gold dragon pattern dragon robe, raised a glass lightly below, and took a sip lightly, although his face was passable, but his eyes were cold, and there was the imperial concubine sitting beside her, wearing an embroidered purple shirt, she was graceful and luxurious, just as Bai Yuqi said about Concubine Ning, and now on this occasion, the emperor only brought the concubine, but it was not her credit.
As for why the emperor's spirit can't be raised, it is that the envoys of these two countries have been coming for five days, and the emperor has temporarily delayed the feast and drink because the people are suffering, but people are not in a hurry, and it is rude to see that it will drag on any longer, and the emperor has to attend this banquet where the ghosts and spirits gather.
"This palace respects His Royal Highness Xuanchen for a drink, but I didn't expect His Highness to come again after only a few months."
"Prince Gu Cang, please."
There was a subtle expression on the prince's face, and he raised his glass with Xuanchen and drank it all, and Bai Yuqi, who was sitting between the two of him, naturally did not have a very good face, his eyebrows were beating faintly, looking at the emperor who was sitting on the main seat not far away, but he felt in his heart that he seemed to be getting farther and farther away from there, thinking of the initiator of all this, Bai Yuqi had to suppress this breath in his heart.
"Brother, the plan is wrong, Yan Yun is not dead, and our people have not been found."
"It doesn't matter."
Xuan Lang whispered in Xuan Chen's ear, Xuan Chen didn't care when he heard this, just smiled faintly, stopped holding the cup and drinking, and looked at Bai Yumo who was in the first seat on the left, and only after a while did he raise his eyes to look at the table next to him.
"Nursery rhyme, or I'll pretend to have a stomachache and let's go.."
"Do you still have some interest?"
Bai Yuxiu covered his forehead and whispered to the nursery rhyme behind him, pretending not to see Xuan Chen's gaze, and their upper position was the first Bai Yumo on the left who should appear, but it was empty... The nursery rhyme looked at Xuan Chen opposite without fear, and I don't know why the emperor arranged Bai Yuxiu's seat so high today?
"Drink less, princess."
"Got it, got it..."
The nursery rhyme obediently did not cast a curious gaze at the lower seat, but looked up at the sky in the distance, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes. There is a princess from the Northern Frontier Kingdom this time, and her temperament is not as gentle and elegant as most women in Gucang, and what interests the nursery rhyme is another princess from the Northern Frontier who came with her, wearing a veil, sitting behind the princess's side, seemingly mysterious, in the eyes of the nursery rhyme, it is pretentious.
"Princess, it's time to go out and pay tribute."
"Oh... Got my cousin. ”
The princess of the northern frontier knew at a glance that she was a lord who was not good to serve, but surprisingly obeyed the words of the veiled woman behind her, wiped her little hands with a handkerchief and walked out.
"Yun Xi has seen His Majesty Gu Cang, Your Majesty is blessed. This is a letter of peace that my father asked me to bring, please look at it. ”
"Princess Yunxi is polite."
Gao Gonggong had already walked down the steps to pick up the heavy letter of ten thousand catties, Bai Yuxiu glanced at the envoys of the Northern Xinjiang Country, all of them were arrogant and arrogant, and their nostrils were about to be raised to the sky, and then the emperor had already unfolded and looked at it carefully, Bai Yuxiu was even more like a pins and needles, for fear that this time it would be for him.
"Oh? It turns out that the princess has a candidate in her heart, I don't know which man in Gu Cang can get into the eyes of the princess, but what is the competition to choose a parent? ”
"Back to Your Majesty Gu Cang, I heard that Gu Cang is an outstanding person, a treasure Tianhua, and there is a call... Lin Qinghuan's young man, Yun Xi has also heard of it in the Northern Xinjiang Kingdom, so I came to see it. ”
Bai Yuxiu heard that it was not coming at him, and before he had time to be happy, he stood up suddenly, and was pressed back by the nursery rhyme, this Yun Xi did not shy away from saying the man she liked, if this matter was placed in Gu Cang, maybe he would be scolded by those old decays for not knowing what is not polite, righteous and shameful.
"The second son of the Lin family has no grade, I am afraid that he is not worthy of Princess Yunxi, besides, the princess is harmonious, choose a civilian man, it is really unheard of, this matter is transmitted back to the Northern Frontier Kingdom, I am afraid that some people will say that our Gu Cang is lazy."
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right!"
Everyone's expressions became subtle and surprised, and the whispers of the ministers echoing the prince sounded in the audience, Bai Yuqi was stunned for a moment and immediately returned to normal, and glanced at the prince with disdain, I thought that this princess would come for his two brothers, who knew that it was Lin Qinghuan, who would not be able to see what they were thinking about in this way, but when it came to Lin Qinghuan, Bai Yuqi really hoped that this matter could be done.
"The prince is right, Princess Yunxi, I still need to send a letter to the Northern Frontier Country on this matter..."
"Forgive Yun Xi for being rude, Yun Xi is here because he admires Lin Qinghuan, so my father also knows about it, so I ask Your Majesty to inform me if you are willing to fulfill it?"
After Princess Yun Xi finished speaking, her face was suddenly dyed with a touch of crimson, and she really thought that she had been in love with Lin Qinghuan for a long time, the emperor was blushing, and he counted countless possibilities in his heart, he stared at Yun Xi below, a little princess dared to talk to him like this, as if she was going to be angry in the next moment.
"Your Majesty, we also know that the second son of Nalin is the best among the people, and there must be many women who are devoted to it, so my country's Princess Yunxi is willing to compete in martial arts to choose a parent, if the skills are not as good as others, naturally give up."
"Summoning the second son of the Lin family into the palace, I am approved."
Everyone couldn't help but exclaim the emperor's decision, the Northern Frontier Country looked at the Lin family's military power at the border pass, the nursery rhyme frowned slightly, this is tricky, whether Fang Xing likes it or not, at least Lin Qinghuan is her aunt and Bai Yuxiu, and she is about to be snatched away by such a horizontal knife..
"The little girl Yunxi of the Northern Xinjiang Kingdom intends to marry the second son of the Gu Canglin family with two surnames, if any sister or sister has a different opinion, you can come to the field to advise!"
"Tsk..."
Princess Yunxi said and threw out a long whip, hitting the floor with a rattling sound, this whip is different from the soft whip used by ordinary people, but is made of iron chains, and there are dense small thorns standing on it, her behavior is tantamount to a provocation to Gu Cang and others, of course the nursery rhyme is dissatisfied, and she is about to go up and she is pulled by Bai Yuxiu.
"Do you want to marry Qing Huan?"
"Huh? Oh..."
Yun Xi threw an ardent and enthusiastic gaze at the nursery rhyme, which was unbearable, and it was really prepared, and the nursery rhyme was a no-show, and she wanted to compete in martial arts, if she compared what embroidery, playing the piano and dancing, these women present could still give it a try..
"Sun Yi, the daughter of Sun Shilang of the Ministry of War, asks Princess Yunxi for advice."
"Okay."
Princess Yun Xi hid her face and smiled, as if she looked down on Sun Yi who came over, no wonder, she had figured out that the women of the ancient Cangguo were not proficient in martial arts, and she only focused on what female workers and girls were moral, she drilled this loophole, after all, Gu Cang accepted more martial arts such as nursery rhymes, either she was indifferent to Lin Qinghuan, or her identity was not worthy of fighting Yun Xi.
The whole banquet was quiet all of a sudden, so quiet that everyone could hear each other's heartbeats, after a short crackling sound of weapons intersecting, everyone couldn't bear to look at Sun Yi, Princess Yunxi knocked off her weapon in three or two clicks, and even threw two whips at Sun Yi's face without fear, at this moment the corners of Sun Yi's mouth were bloody, and his face was also swollen by the thin needles on the long whip.
"Ah, it's strange that Princess Ben is rude, I didn't expect Gu Cang's women to be so weak, your face needs to be healed as soon as possible, but it is estimated that there will be a scar."
"You.."
Sun Yi's eyes were full of resentment and grievances, and she was paid off by the two eunuchs who came up, although she had learned a few tricks from her father, she was not Yun Xi's opponent in the end, especially this Yun Xi's martial arts were much higher than everyone thought...
"This princess overestimated Gu Cang's woman, but there are still people who come to ask for advice?"
"Nursery rhyme, hold back! Endure! ”
Yun Xi swept over the Gu Cang officials sitting around him, not caring about their hot eyes, naturally he also saw Lin Qinghuan, who was belated, although he was not a royal child, but he was a faction of everyone in his gestures, and he didn't feel very pleasing to the eye.
"Which adult has not brought his family here today, if he is interested in the Lin family, he can summon his daughter."
"Heh..."
The prince delayed the time in a timely manner, and he also did not report any hope for the children of these court officials, and everyone laughed and discussed, and they were also cooperating with the prince to delay time together. Yun Xi hid his face and shook his head when he saw this, the contempt on his face was undisguised, if it weren't for Bai Yuxiu who kept pulling the nursery rhyme, the nursery rhyme would have been unbearable...
"It seems that no one is coming, so we can't let us wait all the time, and ask Your Majesty Gu Cang to fulfill it."
"This.."
Yun Xi was really confident in this trip, he was not in a hurry to wait on the field, there was no trace of going down, and he mentioned it to the emperor after half a salary, the emperor pretended to touch his chin and made a look of embarrassment, he didn't seem to have any reason to shirk.
Xuan Chen's ink hair was high, his face was like a crown of jade, he leaned on Xuan Lang and smiled for a long time and rubbed his face, he wanted to see how the ancient emperor blocked the first step of his plan today, but soon, a sharp and piercing voice cut the smile on his face like a sharp blade.
"His Royal Highness King Yu has arrived!"
