Chapter 126: Courtship (Part II)
correct
On the second day of November, the Xiyue Embassy was full of joy.
When Mu Jizhong arrived, Susukino Shin said a few words casually, and let the attendants lead him in. At a glance, although there are not many guests, they are all top figures in the capital. On weekdays, the royal family does not have to go to the court, and it is difficult for Rao is Mu Jizhong to see these princes and ministers gather together, and only he and Cheng Chong have the lowest titles. Mu Jizhong has been in the officialdom for many years, so he naturally won't let go of this great opportunity to make friends, greeted Cheng Chong, and walked around almost to go.
Sukino Shin looked at it coldly from the side, thinking about the news about the Mu family that he had heard recently, and his original guilt for the Mu family because of Mu Xiangwan was also much lighter, and he was thinking about persuading Huaxi to go back to Xiyue with him no matter what.
Guests arrived one after another. Susukino Shin invited several of his highly respected elders to sit down, exchanged a few polite words with everyone, and said: "Yu Heng has been a year of no confusion, and he has been fighting all year round, and his beloved wife has unfortunately died, and now his knees are still empty. This trip to Dahua has been associated with my son Huaxi for many years. Today, I ask you to be a witness, Yu Heng recognized Huaxi as a righteous daughter, and from then on she was my only child of Susukino Shin. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Mu Jizhong listened, his face was full of smiles, and he looked honored, and when he saw that everyone was surprised, he first raised his head to congratulate.
Everyone rushed to respond. The sound of congratulations came and went.
Susukino Shin also thanked him and sent someone to invite Huaxi to come out to greet the elders.
During the banquet, Ouyang Zheng, Yin Chengzong and Chen Hongfei were talking quietly.
As soon as he heard that Huaxi was coming out, Yin Chengzong stopped talking and looked upwards.
Today, Huaxi wore a pomegranate red silk gown embroidered with hundreds of butterflies and flowers, and wore a smoky flower-inlaid crepe skirt underneath, combed a hibiscus bun behind her head, held a millet pearl tassel, pinned a gold silk pearl phoenix hairpin on the side, and buttoned two bead flowers on the right side.
Huaxi rarely wears brightly colored clothes, and this garnet red makes her skin pale and frosty. The big eyes are like autumn water, and the tails of the eyes are upturned, which naturally adds a little charm. The nose peak is tall and beautiful, the nose wing is soft and elegant, can not be increased or decreased, and the length is just right. The red lips are full and round, and the corners of the lips are slightly raised, outlining a gentle smile.
This glamorous light fell into Yin Chengzong's eyes, evoking a long-hidden heart.
"The matter of harmony is going to be variable again...... Chen Hongfei smiled meaningfully, "Duan Ning seems to have a good relationship with her." Duan Ning was reluctant to marry Xiyue, and wanted to change the county lord of the Li Wang family. Originally, Xiyue said that the princess county lord who had no identity and was of the right age to marry her, no, in a blink of an eye, she grew up in Dahua, and King Xin recognized a daughter at this time, is she going to let her marry over? ”
Chen Hongfei's words corrected Yin Chengzong's thoughts.
Yin Chengzong couldn't help but respond with a smile: "What Jing Zhi said is reasonable. ”
Chen Hongfei quipped: "Before the head, you were still worried that the object of your relationship was yourself, and you were relieved to know that Xiyue did not have a princess of the right age, why did you come to echo me again at this time?" See if you are willing to be close to each other? ”
Yin Chengzong didn't care, turned his head to look at Huaxi, and whispered to himself: "If it's her, why don't I ask for my will......"
I used to be simply curious about her, I wanted to know and get closer, and I gradually appreciated and gradually agreed...... Later, when Douxiang walked side by side, he realized that those unclear love threads had already entangled his heart. He had seen so many beauties, but none of them could touch his heart. Originally, I saw that she was high-spirited, and she only felt that she had no regrets. But when he learned that she was the daughter of Shin Susukino, he was so happy. The marriage between the two countries is imperative, does he and her also have a possible opportunity?
Chen Hongfei frowned, put away his laughter, and said, "Cheng, you won't come to the real thing, right?" Lady Jade seems to be giving birth soon, right? How are you going to reply to the Queen Mother? ”
Yin Chengzong looked at Chen Hongfei, and then looked up at his head, his eyes were dark and uncertain, "Isn't there still the emperor?" ”
Chen Hongfei's face changed a few times, and he turned his head to look at Ouyang Zheng, "Xuan, what do you think?" ”
Ouyang Zheng, who was sitting on the side, glanced at Yin Chengzong, and saw that his gaze kept falling on the pomegranate red, and his face became more and more gloomy, "Isn't this incident caused by your old 2 today?" If he doesn't mention his relatives, how can he believe in the king and recognize his daughter today? Turning his head and glancing at Yin Chengzong again, "I didn't hear that King Xin said that he would have a child in the future, and King Xin had no heirs under his knees, maybe he wanted to take her back to Xiyue?" ”
Looking at Huaxi, who was smiling and saluting the elders, Ouyang Zheng couldn't help but think of the words of King Xin that night, why did he suddenly feel sullen in his heart when he thought of her leaving......
Yin Chengzong retracted his gaze when he heard this, and looked at Chen Hongfei with a slightly dull gaze, "Your old 2 is going to propose marriage?" When was this? ”
How did Chen Hongfei know that a marriage had caused the two of them to look unkind, and he couldn't help but be suspicious, and he didn't dare to show it on his face, so he only said: "The second brother has already passed the marriageable age but has been unwilling to get married, and his mother has a good impression of Mu Huaxi, so he once privately asked Mrs. Wu Anhou Huang to visit the mouth...... My father and I also learned afterwards that my father reprimanded my mother for being reckless, so I didn't mention it again. ”
"Your second brother should also discipline and discipline, sooner or later he will cause more chaos. The southeast army was brought out by the old prince, although they are all old generals, it is inevitable that they will be lenient in dealing with him...... Zuo Bingzheng had just taken over the Southwest Metropolitan Prison, and it was the time to employ people, so let him go to the Northwest Army to experience and experience. ”
Yin Chengzong seemed to speak casually, but Chen Hongfei knew that he was really annoyed. With his temperament, these things are only two sentences of admonition at most, reminding him to discipline Hongxi, and he will not directly ask him to take the message back to send Hongxi out of Shangjing like today...... Yin Chengzong's sex even dares to refute His Majesty's words, but it is a miracle to change his attitude for the sake of a daughter. There is also Ouyang Zheng, no one can guess his thoughts, and now he is also helping Mu Huaxi to speak, just because she is the daughter of King Xin, the two of them will not help her, and her deep meaning has to be thought about again.
Chen Hongfei pursed the corners of his lips, looking at Huaxi with a little more inquiry, after today's banquet, the orphan girl of the Mu family is the daughter of King Xin, I don't know how she will deal with everything brought by this different identity?
Huaxi couldn't hear the conversation of the three people at the table, so he saluted the elders and said good fortune to the guests. Then he was led by someone to kneel down and kowtow to the king of letters, and offer tea, and the number of rituals to recognize relatives was complete.
Bo Yexin listened to Huaxi's call for "father-in-law", although he was not "Daddy", he was still excited, looked at Huaxi's eyes were slightly wet, took out a jade Buddha pendant from his arms, and handed it to Huaxi, "Good daughter, this is left by your grandmother, and my father has been collecting it on his body all these years, and I will give it to you today as a meeting gift, bless you with peace and health." ”
Huaxi took the pendant and kowtowed again, "Thank you, father-in-law"
Susukino Shin gave a hand, "You are just right, get up quickly, the ground is cold." ”
Hanaki got up and stood behind Susukino Shin.
"Congratulations to the king of letters, happy to get a righteous daughter"
"Congratulations ......"
The crowd's congratulatory voices rang out again, and Susukino Shin stood up and thanked everyone.
Next is the banquet, Huaxi exited the front hall and went to the backyard. There were not a few guests who came with their daughters, and they were all placed in the flower hall of the back garden of the hotel by Susukino Shin and entrusted to Mu Xiangqing for hospitality.
When Huaxi arrived at the back, the ladies congratulated again. Huaxi hurriedly returned the salute and thanked her, Mu Xiangqing was afraid that Huaxi would not be able to deal with it, so she hurriedly answered the words of several ladies and announced the opening of the banquet.
Yin didn't bother to talk to Huaxi, and he was already disdainful in his heart, so he only nodded as a greeting, and without waiting for Mu Xiangqing to arrange to find a table to sit down, Mu Xiangqing had to temporarily change his seat.
During the banquet, several ladies next to the Yin family were busy inquiring about Huaxi, and two of them were Yin family's families who were interested in considering giving Yun Lin a kiss, but these two ladies ignored their daughters, but inquired about Huaxi thoroughly, how could they not make Yin's ashamed, and after a few casual sentences, they stopped talking with their heads sullen. When everyone saw her like this, they all shut up, changed the topic and started talking, but they left Yin Shi aside.
