Chapter 145: Mid-Autumn Night Banquet III
Wang Xuan was slightly stunned, and raised his eyes to look at Xie Langhua.
She hid behind Xie Chang'an, sitting in a shadow, her face was dark and uncertain, but her eyes were clearly full of shock and reluctance.
Cui Su also looked up at Xie Langhua, his eyes narrowed slightly, a touch of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and then looked at Sima Yi's eyes with a hint of coldness!
Even the dog tail grass he fancy dares to snatch, he really doesn't have any eyesight.
Sima Rui looked at Sima Yi even more in shock, he never knew when he had such thoughts about Xie Langhua, or did he want the help of Dingyuan Hou?
With such a beautiful day, my father was in a very good mood, and it was hard to guarantee that he would not agree.
The father has the heart to let him inherit the throne, so he naturally knows what the Marquis of Dingyuan means to the crown prince!
Once the prince married the Marquis of Dingyuan, he had the power to fight, and the country naturally sat more stable.
Sima Hong looked at Sima Yi intently, hooked his lips and smiled, just about to speak.
"Father, my son also has something to report!" At that moment, Sima Rui did not hesitate at all, strode to Sima Yi's side, and knelt down on one knee.
"I don't know what happened to Brother Rui?" Sima Yi said with a smile as he looked at him.
Everyone's eyes fell on Sima Rui.
Sima Rui glanced at him, arched his hand to Sima Hong and said: "Father, my brother already has a wife and two concubines, and Erchen is still alone, why don't you give Xie Langhua, the daughter of the Marquis of Dingyuan, to Erchen as a wife, and Erchen has a relationship with her, and he also has a good impression of her!
Although he said this to Sima Hong, the afterglow fell on Xie Langhua.
"Brother Rui?" Sima Yi looked at Sima Rui with a shocked expression, his eyes full of puzzlement.
His younger brother has always been indisputable with the world, he is not stained in the eyes of everyone, he has always been respectful to him, and he has never been disobedient, why is this?
Could it be that he also intends to compete for the throne, so he also takes a fancy to the power of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion?
In the past, because of Xiao Mo's relationship, it was inconvenient for him to make a move, but now how could he allow the power of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to fall, and it will become a stumbling block for him in the future.
As soon as Sima Rui spoke, Xie Langhua looked at him intently, her eyes fluttered, and her heart warmed in vain.
She knew how much suspicion he would arouse if he jumped out like this, this was a fight with the crown prince, and the fight was not only for a woman, but also for the help of hundreds of thousands of troops, which might make his years of forbearance fall short.
She looked at him with mixed eyes.
Even Sima Hong looked at him intently, his eyes were deep, with scrutiny and inquiry, obviously he had doubts in his heart.
"My Fair Lady and Gentleman, that's all!" Sima Rui turned his head to look at Sima Yi and raised his eyebrows and smiled, without the slightest fear in his eyes, let alone any remorse.
"This makes the widow not know what to do?" Under everyone's gaze, Sima Hong smiled slowly, and the smile on his face did not reach the bottom of his eyes at all.
He looked at Sima Yi and Sima Rui lightly.
"There is a first to come, and since the son is the first to propose, the father should fulfill the son. Sima Yi said unwillingly.
Sima Hong didn't speak, his eyes fell on Sima Rui.
"Father, everything must be done willingly, why not let the daughter of the Marquis of Dingyuan decide for herself? Sima Rui said word by word.
"Weichen thinks that His Royal Highness King Rui's proposal is very good!" As soon as Sima Rui's voice fell, Xie Changan also strode out and knelt down in front of Sima Hong.
Now that the marriage has become a foregone conclusion, he would rather Langhua choose a person who looks pleasing to his eyes.
In his opinion, His Royal Highness King Rui is far better than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Xie Langhua's gaze slid over Xie Chang'an, what Sima Rui said was just a proposal, as a human minister, he has always been a monarch who makes his ministers die and his ministers have to die, and standing up like this is tantamount to persecuting His Majesty.
If His Majesty is unwilling, there is no way out.
They took a huge risk, just to give her a chance to choose, or Sima Yi, or Sima Rui, but she didn't want to choose any of them, what should she do?
"Just do what you say!" Sima Hong said with a faint smile.
At the moment when his voice fell, everyone's eyes fell on Xie Langhua.
The crown princess and the concubine Rui Wangzheng, it depends on how she chooses?
Wang Xuan looked at it expressionlessly, without the slightest wave in his eyes.
But Cui Su couldn't sit still, he smiled loudly, got up and bowed to Sima Hong, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, how can this be good? I am also devoted to Xie Langhua, and I would like to grant her the position of noble concubine, why don't you let her choose between the three of us?"
Sima Hong looked at Cui Su fixedly, and with a wave of his sleeves, he hooked his lips and smiled: "Okay, just follow what you say." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Xuan without a trace, his eyes fell on Xie Langhua, and slowly spit out a few words: "You stand up and choose one, and see which one can be entrusted for life!"
Chen Yi looked at Wang Xuan intently, for fear that Wang Xuan would also stand up and say something.
Under everyone's gaze, Xie Langhua walked out slowly.
She swept her gaze over Sima Yi, Sima Rui, and Cui Su one by one, slowly knelt down, looked up at Sima Yi and said softly, "Your Majesty, can you listen to the courtiers?"
Sima Hong looked at her right hand raised slightly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xie Langhua knocked her head down, and when she raised her head, her eyes were clear and eloquent: "At this time, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, looking at the bright moon in the sky, the courtiers suddenly remembered a story. ”
Under the gaze of one after another, Xie Langhua slowly told a familiar story, and Chang'e and Hou Yi responded to the situation.
Her face was calm, and her voice was not slow, like a breeze.
Her face was stained with a layer of sorrow, her eyes were sour, and her voice was choked with a hint of choking: "Chang'e flew to the Moon Palace, but she never forgot Hou Yi for a moment, Hou Yi stayed in the world and never married, only Chang'e was the only one in her heart, although they were separated by the vast galaxy, their hearts have never been separated for a moment, thousands of years have been like this, the courtiers have nothing else to ask for in this life, but to seek a heart and a white head will not be separated." ”
Everyone was touched by the story.
Chen Yi, Sima Qing, and Cui Jin were also moved.
How many women in the world only have this wish, but in the end they end up regretting.
All because of this wish seems simple, but in fact it is the most unattainable thing in this world, people's hearts are changeable, who can guard the vicissitudes of life, in the flashy world unchanged!
Even Queen Chen Wan looked at Xie Langhua intently, and there was a trace of fluctuation in her eyes.
Is it ridiculous?
Aren't women in the world so ridiculous!
"There is a person in the courtier's heart, he has saved the life of the courtier, the courtier has already made a grand wish that he will not marry in this life, if he can't get his wish, he is willing to escape into the empty door and live this remnant!" Xie Langhua said word by word, with a resolute face, and slowly knocked his head down.
The deep meaning of her words was only in the words "escape into the empty door".
What she wanted to say was that if His Majesty had to force her to make a choice among them, she would rather escape into the empty door and live this life!
Everyone present looked at her intently.
Sima Yi, Sima Rui and Cui Su all looked at her in shock.
It turned out that she didn't want to choose any of them, and was willing to escape into the empty door for the rest of her life.
Only Wang Xuan looked at Xie Langhua deeply.
He knew that the person she was talking about wasn't him.
He gave her several chances, and she refused without hesitation.
It turns out that she has someone in her heart!
If it's not him, it's not Cui Su, who will it be?
Xie Changan also looked at Xie Langhua deeply, his heart fluctuated, as if he had never known Xie Langhua, and a touch of shock flashed on his face.
Sima Hong looked at Xie Langhua and smiled, and said slowly: "You once said to Qin Yi that you are happy with Wang Xuan, and the life-saving benefactor you are talking about is Wang Xuan!"
Xie Langhua suddenly raised his head and looked at Sima Hong for a moment, his heart was full of shock.
Qin Yi was also there tonight, and she subconsciously looked at Qin Yi.
I saw that the shock on Qin Yi's face was no less than hers.
Xie Langhua suddenly understood that these words were not said by Qin Yi to His Majesty, but that every word and deed of these people was in His Majesty's grasp.
How will she respond?
Yes and no?
It's true that Wang Xuan saved her!
If not, wouldn't it be a great crime to deceive the king?
If so, where is Wang Xuan?
Isn't what she said just now forcing Wang Xuan to marry her?
Suddenly, Xie Langhua fell into a dilemma.
Chen Yi looked at her intently, and a murderous aura flashed in his eyes.
The same is true for Sima Qing.
Several people present were murderous towards Xie Langhua.
"Yes, I am indeed her savior!" At that moment, Wang Xuan slowly stood up.
He looked at Xie Langhua's back expressionlessly.
"Hahaha......" Sima Hong looked at Wang Xuanlang and laughed.
He waved his sleeve and said in a deep voice, "Bring a pen and paper!"
The temple people on the side quickly presented pen and paper.
Xie Langhua looked at Sima Hong with puzzled eyes, wondering what he was going to do?
The same is true for Wang Xuan.
Sima Hong held a pen in one hand, wrote down a holy decree smoothly, looked at Wang Xuan and said with a smile: "Such a beautiful day is naturally a good story, and the widow has just written the holy decree for you to marry, and the wedding date will be set on the eighth day of the next month!"
Everyone present was stunned and shocked.
Xie Langhua couldn't say a word, she looked up at Wang Xuan.
Your Majesty and the scholars have already reached a consensus, Your Majesty will not interfere in the affairs of the scholars, and the scholars will not interfere in the affairs of the court, and they have been at peace all these years.
His Majesty is now going to give Wang Xuan a marriage, if it is the noble daughter of the Chen family and the Cui family, it is also a good story, but it is Xie Langhua, the Shishu is not married, the Shi family has always been conformist, it has been like this for hundreds of years, and the views of the family have been engraved in the blood and bones.
Even Cui Su said that he couldn't marry Xie Langhua, and so did Wang Xuan!
The temple people were already standing in front of Wang Xuan with the holy decree.
Cui Su and Chen Shao looked at Sima Hong intently, frowning slightly.
Sima Hong glanced at them lightly.
Wang Xuan stood there motionless, his eyes fell on Sima Hong, and he looked at Sima Hong.
For a moment, he turned his head to look at the decree.
"Why does the Wang family Qilang want to resist and disobey?" Sima Hong's voice sounded faintly.
Everyone looked at Wang Xuan intently.
