Chapter Twenty-Six: The Marriage Turmoil
Two days later
On Xiao Yanshou's birthday, the concubines of the palace tried their best to compete for beauty.
In the evening, a grand song and dance performance was held in the Taiji Palace, and the ministers congratulated him, but the most eye-catching was the beautiful man who moved the capital, Xiao Nanfeng. All kinds of admiration, one after another. Xiao Yan attached great importance to this imperial brother, and even pulled him to sit together and drink happily.
Xiao Yujian sat at the tail table, she was a little absent-minded, she was having an awkward relationship with Song Heng recently, because Ding Rou had been strongly preventing. She thought it would be a big deal to elope with Song Heng, but Song Heng didn't agree... The two of them had an argument...
When the people at the next table saw her like this, they couldn't help but wonder, "Hosta... β
Turning his head, he looked at the handsome man on the side puzzled, "What's wrong, fourth brother?"
"I saw that you couldn't give up all night, what were you thinking" It was Xiao Ji, the fourth prince, who spoke.
"Didn't think about anythingγγγγγ I just don't like this kind of occasion very much."
Xiao Ji smiled and looked at the person beside him, "Today... You seem to be a little different."
Well? It's different, Xiao Yujian hurriedly lowered her head and looked back and forth at herself a few times, "What's the difference"
"Hmmm... The blush seems to be applied a little too much."
Hearing him say this, Xiao Yujian hurriedly touched his face in a hurry, "Is there too much blush, I only applied a little... β
Then there was a hearty laugh next to him, "Hahaha... β
Hearing this laughter, Xiao Yujian realized that he had been tricked, "Fourth brother! You're playing tricks on me again."
Xiao Ji hurriedly put away his smile and soothed, "Okay, okay, I'm joking with you, let's get down to business, do you know that someone on the other side has been watching you... Xiao Ji played with the wine glass in his hand and raised his eyes to look at the other side.
Well? Xiao Yujian was stunned for a moment, followed his line of sight and looked at the opposite side, and a strange man jumped into the sight.
"Who is he?"
"The only son of Fang Huai, Fang Chongyuan"
Thinking of being tricked by him just now, Xiao Yuhuan immediately teased, "Fourth brother, are you sure he is looking at me, not you?" β
Xiao Ji chuckled: "You girl... β
"Fourth brother, maybe people have taken a fancy to your beauty... Xiao Yujian looked at the person opposite again and said, "This Fang Chongyuan is not bad, and it is not bad to be a male pet in the house."
"Haha..." Xiao Ji couldn't help laughing again, and then stretched out his arm and slapped the head of the person next to him, "You girl hasn't come out of the cabinet yet, just say this kind of thing"
Rubbing his slightly painful forehead, Xiao Yujian glared at the person who was laughing at the unknown person.
"Hosta, what are you talking about, so happy... Xiao Youyu came to their side from the seat on the other side.
Xiao Yujian moved out a place and sat her down. "Youyu, you came just in time, I'm looking for a male pet for the fourth brother"
Xiao Youyu was also interested when he heard this, "Yes, which son has your Royal Highness in love with?"
Xiao Ji on the side had to shake his head helplessly...
At this time, the hall gradually quieted down, and Xiao Qingyue served as the finale, and finally came out to dance...
Today she is wearing a bright red dress, a little red plum blossom between her eyebrows, and the whole person looks gorgeous and refined... Many people present couldn't help but be stunned, and Shen Yuzhang's eyes were even straighter.
This was the first time Xiao Qingyue had danced in front of so many people, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous, she could feel that a pair of eyes in the hall were staring at her. This time she danced, not only to escape the love left by Su Xing, she really wanted to thank Xiao Yan. Xie He is willing to save Xiao Youyu, thank him for treating her as a treasure for so many years. Thinking of this, she danced harder...
At this time, Xiao Yan, who was sitting on the upper seat, looked relieved, he had heard that Xiao Qingyue was going to dance to celebrate his birthday, he had been looking forward to it, and he was very happy in his heart.
But all this is not a good thing in Liu Yin's opinion, because she was unwell, she retreated to the inner hall early to rest...
At the end of the song, in the end, Xiao Qingyue brought a group of dancers to the palace to pay respects.
"Erchen congratulates his father, blessings are like the East China Sea, and longevity is better than Nanshan"
"Good!" Xiao Yan was overjoyed and said, "Sun Guihai, go and give my newly acquired jade Ruyi to Princess Yue."
"Yes" Sun Guihai couldn't help but sigh again in his heart, Princess Yue really won the emperor's favor, and the emperor gave her anything good first...
Xiao Qingyue hurriedly kowtowed and thanked her, and then all the princes came to congratulate and send congratulatory gifts... The banquet was pushed to a climax.
At this time, Xiao Qingyue withdrew from the main hall with a group of accompanying dancers, and she planned to go back to change her clothes, but not long after she leftγγγγγ Xiao Yan announced another happy event in public, but the parties to this happy event were not surprised, some were just frightened...
Xiao Yan looked around at the crowd in the main hall, he had drunk a lot of wine today, and his interest was high, and then he stood up and said.
"Taking advantage of today's banquet, I have a happy event to share with you... As he spoke, he looked at the position where Xiao Youyu was sitting, "Xiao Youyu, step forward and listen to the order!" β
The person named suddenly froze, and her intuition told her that something bad was going to happen...
For a while, all eyes in the hall were on her...
Xiao Youyu slowly came to the center of the hall and knelt down respectfully, as if waiting for a trial...
At this time, Xiao Yan's voice came again, "Your age is not too young, I will make the decision to marry you today, and marry you to Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, Song Heng."
For a while, the three people, including Xiao Yujia, were shocked...
And Ding Rou looked at everything in the hall with satisfaction, not long ago, when Xiao Yan stayed in Chenghuan Palace, she had no intention of saying that she wanted to marry Xiao Youyu, so she pushed Song Heng down the river. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan also felt that Song Heng was very suitable...
Xiao Youyu's mind was already blank in shock, and before she could come back to her senses, a small voice came from her ears. Sun Ruhai reminded in a low voice, "The Jade Princess hasn't hurried to receive the order and thank you!" β
This kind of marriage is nothing in the eyes of others, but for Xiao Youyu, who already has a place in his heart, it is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue...
Xiao Yan saw that she didn't move, and gradually became a little displeased, "What? Are you not happy about this marriage? β
Xiao Youyu looked up at the king with supreme power. What can she say, so many pairs of eyes are watching at this moment, if she refuses, the end can be imagined...
At this moment, Xiao Yujia, who had been holding back for a long time, suddenly jumped out of his seat, "Erchen is against this marriage"
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, not only Ding Rou's face changed, but even Xiao Yan's face gradually became ugly, which made him very faceless as a son of heaven, and he immediately reprimanded.
"Nonsense! You give me a step down! β
Xiao Yujian fortunately knelt down, "Erchen didn't mess around, Qiyu father, Erchen has already been with Song Heng... β
"Hairpin!" Ding Rou hurriedly got up in fright and interrupted her, "Don't talk nonsense, don't retreat quickly!" β
"Mother!!" Xiao Yuqi knows the consequences of saying this, but how do you want her to watch the man she loves marry another woman...
At this time, Xiao Yan raised his hand and interrupted, "Slow... You finish what you just said! You and Song Heng? What's wrong?"
At this time, on the Tai Chi Palace, the originally joyful atmosphere became solemn at this moment...
Xiao Yujian glanced at Song Heng, who was facing the iron face on the opposite side, and said with a heart, "Erchen and Song Heng have long been in love, and they promise each other for life, and they also ask their father to fulfill it!" β
As soon as Xiao Yan heard this, his eyes instantly shot sharply at Song Heng on the other side, and he said angrily.
"Song Heng! But there is such a thing! "It's really good, his daughter is having an affair with an official under his nose, and he doesn't even know it... As he spoke, he shot his gaze to Ding Rou, who was flustered...
At this time, Song Heng respectfully knelt beside Xiao Yujia, compared to the panic of the other people, he seemed extraordinarily calm. The moment he saw Xiao Yuhuan rushing out to oppose it just now, he was relieved in his heart, he could get this wife in this life, what more could a husband ask for...
"Weichen doesn't dare to deceive the emperor, as Princess Hosta said, I am in love with the princess, and we have already made an agreement to stay together."
Xiao Yan didn't expect Song Heng to admit directly, "Be bold!! β
This marriage can't be done, but such a scandal has happened, so how can he come to the stage...
The Taiji Hall is in a stalemate, and Xiao Qingyue is also in trouble on the way back to the Taiji Hall after changing her clothes!
When she entered a garden, a man suddenly jumped out of the garden and hugged her...
This really scared her, and she quickly broke free, and when she saw the person clearly, she couldn't help but secretly scream in her heart, how could she meet this plague god.
At this time, Xiao Xu smiled flatteringly, and looked at her with bright eyes.
"Which maid I am so peugeot, it turns out to be Sister Yue"
After sorting out her panicked emotions, Xiao Qingyue shouted a little reluctantly, "Fifth Emperor Brother" She didn't believe Xiao Xu's nonsense, he obviously did it on purpose.
Xiao Xu looked up and down at the girl who looked particularly beautiful and moving today, he just watched Xiao Qingyue leave the hall and waited here.
"Sister Yue just danced, it's really amazing"
Xiao Qingyue couldn't stand the way he looked at her, so she looked to the side, "Thank you for the praise of the Five Emperor Brothers, if there is nothing else, Qingyue will not disturb the Five Emperor Brothers visiting the garden."
"Hey, Sister Yue, what's the hurry" Xiao Xu said and grabbed the person who was leaving, "How lonely it is for His Royal Highness to visit the garden alone, why don't you two of them together, how about it, huh?" As he spoke, he lifted the girl's chin.
Xiao Qingyue angrily waved away the outstretched hand, and the disgust in her heart became bigger and bigger.
"Brother Huang, please respect yourself! We're brothers and sisters! Brother Huang doesn't feel unseemly doing this! β
"Brother and sister?! Hahahaγγγγγ Xiao Xu seemed to have heard a very funny joke, and the whole person laughed extremely exaggeratedly, but a gleam flashed in his eyes, "Brother and sister... Who knows if it is! β
"You!" Xiao Qingyue was already blushing angrily, what did he mean by this!
At this time, a group of maids with wine and fruit bowls happened to pass by, "See the Fifth Highness, Princess Yue"
Xiao Xu immediately changed his face, and said with a smile, "It's all free of courtesy."
Looking at his face, Xiao Qingyue felt as if there was a fire burning in her heart, what evil was happening tonight. She was really afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would not be able to control herself and slap Xiao Xu! She didn't care whether Xiao Xu was happy or not, glared at him and left with the maids.
Xiao Xuevil smiled and looked at the person who left angrily, "Hmph! Sooner or later, you will be in the pocket of His Highness! β
At this time, another voice came from the darkness, "I really didn't expect that the night scene in this palace is so beautiful."
