Chapter Twenty-Five: The Proposal of the Eastern Wu Dynasty

In this way, the last day of the 222nd year ushered in the Western Kingdom, and the final investigation into the cause of the prime minister's death was only suicide. Since then, no one has talked about it again, and it has passed like a cloud of smoke. As early as a few days ago, the palace began to prepare for the New Year's Day banquet, which was festive, and even Dusk Huan was very busy.

"Princess, princess, what do you say you want to wear at the New Year's Day banquet?" Early this morning, the emperor sent a lot of heartfelt clothes, saying that I wanted to wear them at the New Year's Day banquet today.

"I wear everything the same." I watched as she excitedly chose her clothes as if she were wearing them herself. Seeing that Murong Lizhu hated me so much last time, it shouldn't be her who poisoned Heifeng, so only that guard was left, but every time I inquired, I said that I hadn't seen it, and I also asked about the commander, but it was also fruitless.

"Princess, you don't care about any banquet, but how do you find your sweetheart?" She gave me a helpless look, as if I couldn't help Adou, and then continued to choose clothes.

Sweetheart? The hot and cold face suddenly flashed in front of him, and he shook his head, forget it. I got up and opened the baggage sent by Master Su, and there was a red dress in it, which was exactly what my mother made for me, and I was going to wear it when I was going to marry Chen Er.

A surprised voice, "Princess, don't you want to wear this?" ”

I glanced at her, "Can't you wear it?" ”

She was anxious, "Princess, princess, the New Year's Day banquet is no better than other banquets, and the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee are coming, does this dress not seem to be atmospheric enough?" ”

She glanced cautiously around, leaned closer to me and whispered, "I heard that this time a legendary young hero will also appear." ”

I can't help but wonder, it turns out that her spring heart has sprouted these days is because of that young hero, but I really don't want to wear those glowing forehead satins. "Twilight, you can pick any of these clothes, don't let down your heart for the young man, I won't wear these."

"Really?" Twilight looked at me in surprise, but then lowered her head, "No, the maid can only wear the maid's clothes, otherwise the emperor will see that she will be killed." ”

I wanted to refute a few words, but as soon as I heard her mention the emperor, I stopped talking. I don't dare to mess with the emperor. But at this time, I actually forgot that I hadn't provoked the emperor by not wearing the clothes brought by the emperor?

Night slowly fell, the imperial garden was lit up, the crowd was surging, and the New Year's Day banquet began.

Twilight cautiously followed behind me and whispered, "Princess, it seems like someone was watching us all the way?" ”

I glanced around, and along the way, there were indeed many eyes looking at us again, some stunned, some curious, and some snickering.

"Maybe it's because we're so beautiful." The only thing that came to my mind was this possibility.

"Isn't this Princess Oude?"

I was suddenly greeted by a person, and I looked at him curiously. Dressed in a blue robe, he also held a folding fan in his hand. Big Winter...... Still holding a fan? I couldn't help but feel funny. Looking up again, the clear and delicate face, I searched in my mind to make sure it was not someone I knew.

When he saw me laughing, he was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to react, "Down here is Cheng Shangshu's eldest son, Cheng Feng." ”

"I don't know what Cheng Gongzi is looking for me?" I've been in the palace for a long time, but I didn't expect me to say this kind of thing.

He smiled: "It's okay, just come and take a look at the princess and see the princess...... Remember below. ”

Yes? Just as I was stunned, he had staggered by. "Twilight, let me remember him...... What is the meaning? Twilight frowned and shook her head.

The party was about to start, and I didn't think much about it, so I picked up Twilight and walked forward, but I didn't notice that I bumped into one person.

Sure enough...... The road is narrow!

"Hmph, don't you know how to read the road! As a princess, she is still so uneducated. With that, he squeezed between me and Twilight, and didn't forget to hit me hard in the process.

"You ......" Twilight Huan only had time to spit out a word at Su Yuyue's back.

Just as I was about to comfort Twilight Racson not to be like her, I suddenly felt a pain in my head, and I frowned to see who was so bold, but I was stunned!

"What are you looking at? My sister is bullying you again? Su Han still had a dissolute smile on his face, as if the tired man I saw before was my hallucination...... It's just that this is a bit heavier.

I rubbed my aching head and looked at him aggrievedly, but he smiled even happier. After the last time, he explained the reason why Su Yuyue was always against me, and now when I see what she does, her anger will naturally disappear by seven points.

"But you're ......," he circled around me, then frowned, "Don't wear dragonflies next time." ”

Subconsciously looked down, and sure enough, there were two dragonflies in the corner of the skirt, if he didn't say it, I really didn't find it...... It's pretty good!

"Isn't that pretty well embroidered, what's wrong?" As soon as I finished speaking, there was another pain in my head, and I frowned and glared at him.

"This is a taboo for a favorite concubine in the palace, be careful of her trouble with you."

Yes? "Then I'll go get another one right away!" After speaking, he was about to go back, but he was stopped by his "it's too late".

Because, it's really late, the emperor is here!

"Don't worry...... I'll protect you when the time comes. Su Han gave me an expression that I didn't know whether to comfort or gloat.

At this time, I finally understood why so many people were staring at us along the way, it turned out to be because of these two dragonflies. Actually, as long as you don't let that favorite concubine see it, it's just that I'm afraid that someone will deliberately mention it. Su Yuyue's disdainful face instantly appeared in her mind, I don't know if she saw it at that time?

"Twilight, why didn't you remind me of this taboo?"

Twilight lowered her head, "Princess, the slave doesn't know about it, it's all the slave's fault." My voice sounded like she was about to cry, and I immediately stopped her, "How can I blame you, it's okay, if someone really wants to make trouble, you can't escape no matter what you do." Twilight nodded as if she didn't understand.

I sat in the same direction with the ladies of the eunuchs, the only difference was that my seat was closest to the emperor and the queen mother. That's right, this time the Queen Mother also came out, with a luxurious appearance, dignified and decent, which was not at all the same as what I saw in the vegetable garden at that time. She seemed to see me and smiled at me. I also responded with a smile, and I always felt that the Queen Mother seemed to be different.

Opposite me, sat the harem concubines, among them, Su frowned last time I met, it was a calm woman like a chrysanthemum.

Although she sat in an inconspicuous position, I found her at a glance. It stands to reason that now that the Su family is favored, she should sit in front of her, but ...... I don't understand.

Below, there are the ministers and sons, because of the distance, it is not really true.

"Haha, this victory in the outer frontier is thanks to a young hero." The emperor suddenly stood up with a cup, and his voice could not hide his joy, "This time I want to reward him specially, Hu Aiqing come forward quickly." ”

Everyone's eyes were focused below, and I looked, and in a looming light, a tall, thin black figure slowly walked to the center of the stage below, and then knelt down.

"The minister greets the emperor."

This voice! I was so shocked that I stood up. Twilight pulled me nervously, and I was able to react and sit down again, but luckily all eyes were on the man below, and no one noticed my abnormality.

"Hu Aiqing doesn't need to be polite, from today onwards, I will make you the general of the protector of the country."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The Taichung boy accepted it indifferently, and from beginning to end, he didn't raise his head, and I could only watch the back farther and farther away.

Maybe it's a delusion. It's just that the voice is similar, how can Hu Jingfeng, who had small eyes and looked like a wall, be the slender and steady young general today? However, why is he also surnamed Hu?

Immediately afterwards, the New Year's Day banquet officially began, toasting and celebrating, singing and dancing. I, on the other hand, didn't pay attention until Twilight poked me in the back and noticed that everyone's eyes were on me, and the dancing girl was gone, and there was only one kneeling in the center of the stage.

"What does Yue'er think?"

I looked at the emperor who was asking me questions in a daze, and it was the first time that I was called Yue'er in such a large public.

Whispers began to be whispered all around, nothing more than Princess Oude being stupid, ugly clothes, and ugly people. One of the voices I am familiar with is Su Yuyue.

"I really don't know what this Cheng Gongzi thinks, if she weren't a princess, who would want to marryβ€”β€”"

"That's it!" The emperor's voice was full of anger, and the surroundings fell silent. Then he looked at me, "Just now Cheng Gongzi wanted to propose to you, what does Yue'er think?" ”

Cheng Gongzi? I looked down and it was him! Cheng Shangshu's eldest son, Cheng Feng!

Propose, why do you propose to me?

"Princess, princess ......" is Twilight's voice.

"I ......" Seeing that the emperor was waiting for my answer, but I didn't know how to answer, the scene of the plum blossom banquet appeared in front of me again, should I prevaricate with such an excuse?

"Your Majesty, the princess said at that Meihua banquet that she had already made a marriage, and I hope the emperor will not break up a pair of beauties." The person who spoke turned out to be Murong Lizhu, didn't she hate me before, why did she help me speak this time?

The emperor didn't speak, he didn't know what he was thinking, or what he was waiting for.

"The envoy of the Eastern Wu Dynasty visits the emperor, long live the emperor!"

There was a commotion in the crowd, as if they were all wondering what the envoy of the enemy country was doing here.

Two people came out below, and Cheng Gongzi saw that he was being left aside, so he naturally walked away. The two people in the center of the stage, one is slightly thin, and the other has a pair of light eyebrows.

I was stunned for a moment, how could it be Chen Er? And became the envoy of the Eastern Wu Dynasty?

"I knew that there were two envoys in Beijing, and I apologize for the poor hospitality in my country. But I wonder what the messenger came to this adventure for? The emperor's voice is always so calm, and he is not surprised by their sudden appearance.

Chen Er didn't seem to see me, he didn't hurry, and presented a box with both hands, "Your Majesty, I, the prince of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, am willing to marry your country, and I hope that the people of the two countries will no longer have wars and live in peace, this is my letter from the king, in addition, I am willing to cede the outermost piece of territory to the emperor to show my sincerity." After the servant presented it, the emperor did not open it, but just put it on the table.

"I wonder which princess of our country your prince has a crush on?" Everyone knows that there is only one princess in the Western Kingdom, and that is me.

I was dazed, and finally began to realize the seriousness of the matter, and asked me to marry their king? What the hell is going on, a good New Year's Day banquet has become my marriage banquet? Or the banquets in the palace.

"I wonder what the princess thinks of this proposal?" Chen Er looked at me and hooked the corners of his mouth slightly. Could this be what he said before to take me home? The corners of my mouth twitched, but I never thought of marrying into the Eastern Wu Dynasty, and I was a prince they had never met.

Just as I didn't know how to answer, a slightly older voice rang out. "That's it, leave Yue'er some time to think about it and make a decision, after all, marriage is not a child's play." The Queen Mother, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.

The emperor laughed and stroked the cup with his hand, "Okay, just according to what the queen mother said." ”

Then there was Chen Er's evil smile that he had succeeded, and in the dark, there seemed to be a gaze that seemed to be nothing.

Until lying on the bed in Fengde Palace, I didn't know how this New Year's Day feast passed, and the matter of the pair of dragonflies on the clothes seemed to be forgotten, and no one mentioned it. It's just that, tomorrow, I don't know what weird things will happen.

Young Hero, Cheng Gongzi, Little Er...... Why is it that the more I can't figure it out, the more weird it feels?
