"I heard that Mrs. Yunqi is also versatile, and she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and today I have this opportunity, and the concubine wants to appreciate it......"

As soon as Concubine Shu's words fell, everyone's eyes fell on Yan Shuangfei.

Yan Shuangfei coughed lightly a few times, but finally didn't choke to death. She settled down, stood up calmly, and pretended to be weak and said: "Back to the emperor, Shufei Niangniang, the concubine is only shallow in learning, and recently she occasionally feels cold and unwell, so she swept away the happiness of Shufei Niangniang, and hopes that the emperor and Shufei Niangniang will forgive her sins." ”

Yan Shuangfei said calmly, his tone was light and natural, and he couldn't hear the feeling of pretense at all.

Concubine Shu let out an "oh", and her shrewd eyes gently swept Yan Shuangfei around, and then she said a few words of concern, and the matter of Yan Shuangfei's performance was over.

Yan Shuangfei breathed a sigh of relief, how could she not know that Concubine Shu deliberately let herself perform on stage. She didn't want to show her talent in front of Liang Xuan, but tonight was the worst time.

Today's protagonists are Shen Nanya and Li Ying, where can other women be allowed to steal the limelight. Concubine Shu was obviously praising her and giving her a chance to perform, but in fact, she was pushing her to the cusp. At that time, if she performs well and overwhelms the limelight of Shen and Li, it will cause the dissatisfaction of the two families; If she doesn't perform well, she will lose the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion again, and her name of "Mrs. Yunqi" will become a laughing stock for others.

Concubine Shu smiled lightly, but a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes. She had never forgotten what had happened in the Imperial Garden. However, she still underestimated Yan Shuangfei's IQ. thought that Yan Shuangfei was impulsive and in the limelight, and would definitely rush to the stage without hesitation, but this time, she miscalculated.

Before the dance was over, the music came to an abrupt end, and Emperor Liang put down the wine glass in his hand and stood up. Everyone hurriedly stood up, waiting for Emperor Liang's instructions.

"Today is an auspicious day for the zodiac, I want to take advantage of this day to set up a family affair for my children, I don't know what the princes want?" Emperor Liang's slightly lazy but still loud voice sounded in the main hall.

When everyone heard this, they immediately panicked and said: "It's all up to the emperor to decide......"

In addition to the royal family, the only people invited to the banquet today are the Prime Minister's Mansion, Sima Mansion, Li Mansion, and Shen Mansion, which is clearly a banquet set up for marriage. Everyone knew it, and naturally no one was surprised by Emperor Liang's proposal just now, and they were only curious about who would be allowed to the eldest prince and the second prince, and which family Princess Liang Xi would marry into.

Liang Huang nodded with satisfaction, glanced at Liang Xuan, and asked again pretending to be, "I don't know what the opinions of Xuan'er, Ye'er and Xi'er are?" ”

"The son is willing to obey his father's arrangement." The voices of the three of them were very neat, but their faces were different.

Liang Xuan's eyes were cold, and he lost his elegant face in front of people for the first time.

Liang Ye smiled lightly, not worried about what was going to happen next.

Liang Xi bit his lip, nervous and expectant.

"Xuan'er is not small, it's time to ask for a daughter-in-law......" The queen also echoed softly.

Concubine Shu also nodded again and again, smiling and wrapping around Emperor Liang's arm, not caring about everyone's eyes at all. Liang Huang also smiled at her, and did not shy away from the presence of others. "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that Miss Li is beautiful and lovely, and her singing voice is extremely beautiful, such a woman who shows off her wisdom is a match made in heaven with the eldest prince......"

As soon as Concubine Shu's words came out, not only Yan Shuangfei was stunned, but even the emperor raised his eyebrows slightly.

The queen was busy speaking for her niece. "Your Majesty, the concubines think that Nan Aya is more elegant and generous, gentle and polite, and she is an excellent candidate for the princess."

"That'...... Why don't you point both of them to Xuan'er? Liang Huang hesitated a little and asked tentatively.

Everyone was stunned, and Yan Shuangfei was also cold in his heart. said this in front of so many people, this emperor is too unstandard. Not to mention that the emperor can't make a decision on the spot when he points out marriage, and he has to weakly ask other people's opinions, at least these two eldest ladies are people with status, and no one is willing to be a concubine! Such a ridiculous decision is also thanks to him, the "king of a country", who came up with it.

"The emperor might as well ask Xuan'er's opinion......" the queen suggested softly.

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Liang Xuan, who glanced at the queen lightly and did not speak.

The queen's idea is not clever, and she brought up the topic in front of the two families, and Liang Xuan must offend the other party if he chooses anyone. It's no wonder that the emperor pointed out that he didn't discuss it with these concubines and princes privately before marriage, but now it's embarrassing.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say......" Just as the scene was about to reach a stalemate, an abrupt voice came from the crowd.

Yan Shuangfei's heart trembled suddenly, and he was almost not stupid. She heard you right, right? The person who spoke turned out to be Duan Qiling beside her?

Emperor Liang was also stunned, but he still bowed his head slightly, and motioned for Duan Qiling to continue.

Duan Qiling glanced at Shen Nanya, and the affection and love in his eyes made Yan Shuangfei who was nearby look clearly. "The minister risked his life to ask the emperor to marry Nan Aya for the minister!"

In the look of surprise or surprise on everyone's face, Duan Qiling knelt down and continued to say sincerely: "The minister and Nan Aya have known each other for two years through the introduction of their brother. The minister and Nan Aya have made a lifelong decision in private, and they hope that the emperor will fulfill it! ”

As soon as the words "private for life" came out, even if he was a prime minister who had been in the officialdom for a long time, his face suddenly turned pale for a while. As soon as Duan Qiling's words fell, Duan Zhengxiang knelt on the ground and said in fear: "The old minister has no way to teach his son, so he is arrogant and rude, and I hope the emperor will punish him." ”

Emperor Liang frowned, and was about to speak, but the concubine on the side seemed to be very touched and said to Emperor Liang: "Your Majesty, Second Young Master Duan dares to love and hate, and has responsibility, how can the emperor punish him...... The emperor and his concubines said that fate is rare, and you must cherish the people in front of you. Now Second Young Master Duan and Miss Shen are in love, and they are not afraid of punishment and confess everything to the emperor. If the emperor doesn't fulfill them, don't say that the two of them are sad, and the concubines and everyone here will also be sad......"

Yan Shuangfei stared at Concubine Shu deadly, not daring to imagine that this woman who was reasonable and affectionate to Emperor Liang was the Concubine Shu who was arrogant and domineering in the Imperial Garden that day. If he hadn't known her earlier and known who she was, Yan Shuangfei would have been deceived by her superb acting skills.

"Hahahaha-" Emperor Liang heard Concubine Shu say this, the displeasure on his face disappeared, and he immediately laughed heartily, and asked Shen Nanya again: "Nan Aya, I will marry you to Duan Er Gongzi, are you willing?" ”

Shen Nanya lowered her head shyly and slowly knelt on the ground. "The courtiers thank the emperor for their fulfillment."

As soon as Duan Qiling heard Emperor Liang's words, he knew that he had agreed, and he was immediately overjoyed, and said loudly: "Thank you to the emperor for your success!" Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

"Hmm......" Emperor Liang nodded with satisfaction, and Concubine Shu also smiled very happily on the side. It was the queen, although she pretended to smile, but she couldn't hide her lonely look.

The corners of Yan Shuangfei's mouth hooked, as if he was smiling. thought that Shen Nanya must be going to marry Liang Xuan, but she didn't expect to kill a "dark horse". This Duan Qiling, who usually looks at him as obscure, loyal and honest, is neither humble nor arrogant at critical times, so brave, it really impresses her!
