Chapter Twenty-Three: Su Nu Qingzhi
"The fifth brother likes her."
"I still know..."The more he stared, his eyes widened: ", what did you say?" β
Eleven's words fell lightly in her ears, and she heard every word clearly, but she couldn't help but want to ask again.
In response to her, it was still Eleven's calm and arrogant sentence: "Fifth brother likes her." β
After appreciating her surprised expression, Xiao Shiyi slowly added: "She also likes my fifth brother." β
Yue Xi couldn't tell what he felt, he was a little surprised, and it seemed to be expected, and there was another little emotion that he didn't know why.
"Do you want to be in love with each other?" Su Qingzhi's dance had already begun, and in the warm atmosphere of the hall, she lowered her head and took a sip of wine and smiled lightly.
Slowly turned her head to look at Su Qingzhi dancing in the hall, the woman's slender waist was swaying, her jade fingers were entangled, her dancing posture was enchanting and charming, her eyes were clear and light, like a spirit butterfly, dancing a hymn to the prosperous era in the brightly lit hall.
Yue Xi held the wine glass and pursed her lips and smiled: "This Su Qingzhi's dancing posture is really worthy of the title of the first talented woman in Yujing." β
"Of course," Eleven looked a little proud, "The person my fifth brother likes must be the best." β
Yue Xi couldn't laugh, and lowered his head to tease him: "What, don't you think I'm as good as that Su Qingzhi?" β
"You?" Eleven frowned and thought for a while, then said seriously, "Well, you are the best." β
Yue Xi smiled, and couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, so he could only raise his hand and rub Eleven's head, his eyes slid over Su Qingzhi, who was dancing, and slowly fell on Yan Zhi.
The lights of the hall fell on him, and the bright purple brocade robe rippled with a faint brilliance. He half-tilted his head to look at the woman who had not finished dancing in the field, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and his eyes were full of tenderness that he couldn't see on weekdays.
"It's a bit of an infatuation." Yue Xi muttered softly. She has seen many different faces, at first he pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, then he pretended to be very well-behaved in front of the master, he sat on a horse and teased her condescendingly, and this morning, with a wicked smile on his face, he asked her if she wanted to take a bath together. But she has never seen such a person as now, focusing on looking at a person, gentle, infatuated, Yan Zhi!
Yue Xi shook her head and put aside the messy memories in her heart, lowered her eyes and took a sip of wine, who knew that as soon as she turned her head, she saw Eleven staring at her with a proud face and whispering accusations: "You don't even toast me, just drink it yourself?" β
βοΌοΌοΌβ Someone else forced someone to toast? Yue Xi's brain couldn't turn around, and he looked at Eleven with a confused face.
However, Eleven's gaze was too oppressive, and she was quickly defeated, so she had to raise her glass and touch him.
"How dare you be so perfunctory to me?" Eleven was still glaring at her.
Yue Xi couldn't, so he had to touch him perfunctorily.
The crisp sound of the collision with the wine glass came to my ears, and the buzzing of discussion and praise in the hall.
Yue Xi came back to his senses, and Su Qingzhi's dance was over.
At this time, the woman in the pale crimson dress was standing in the center of the hall in front of Yan Zhi, looking over from Yuexi's side, she could only see a back of Su Qingzhi, the lights in the hall were bright, and the woman's black hair was like fine silk spread behind her, lining her waist was slender, and she couldn't help the wind, like a butterfly that would go with the wind at any time.
People are beautiful and breathtaking!
Yue Xi swept through the hall and looked at the people who couldn't come back to Su Qingzhi's senses, and suddenly remembered that he had just said seriously, "What my fifth brother likes, it must be the best!" ".
People, as expected, are beauty-loving animals.
She vaguely remembered that a long time ago, her mother had danced at such a feast, and then a woman in a pale scarlet dress replaced her, and then she had no more concubines......
"Eleven," she rubbed the child's fluffy hair with one hand, and supported her chin with the other and smiled, "You're right, Su Qingzhi is the best." "At least, it's the most beautiful!
"No, what I'm saying is that you're the best." Eleven slapped away the hand that was still messing with his head, and muttered: "Don't rub my hair, my father will reprimand me again!" β
Seeing that Yue Xi smiled and squinted his eyes and didn't speak, he was silent for a while, then sighed again, pulled Yue Xi's hand back down on top of his head, and pouted: "Forget it, I'll touch it for you, but it can't be too much." β
He always felt that Sister Yue Xi was crying.
Yue Xi didn't care about Eleven's words, rubbed two handfuls on his head, and said seriously: "I don't like Su Qingzhi." β
"Is it because of the fifth brother?" Eleven pulled her hand down and asked seriously, "Because the fifth brother likes her and doesn't like you?" β
"What do you little doll think?" Yue Xi smiled and fell, reached out and knocked on Eleven's head: "I don't like her because she is prettier than me." β
"Sister Yuexi, don't you like many people?" Eleven looked at her sincerely.
Yue Xi was stunned for a long time before he reacted and glared at Eleven: "Eh, you little broken child!" β
Eleven looked at her and laughed for a long time, and ran back to her seat with a cigarette on her waist.
Yue Xi stared at eleven and a half for a long time, but eleven didn't move like a mountain, and didn't look at her, she stared at her alone for a long time, her eyes were really sour, so she had to retract her gaze and look at the hall obediently.
Su Qingzhi's reward has been sealed, and there is a lot of chaos, she can't remember it after listening to it, but she has secretly set the goal of robbery.
She lowered her head and concentrated on how to implement the great cause of robbery, after all, her first robbery, even if it was not very successful, Yan Zhi's deflated calf was the failure of her robbery.
Thinking of that robbery, she couldn't help but want to look up and look at her viciously.
However, before that glance could reach Yan Zhi's body, his eyelids jumped when he was shocked by the words of the man in dark red robe who appeared in the center of the hall at some point.
"The imperial grandmother, grandson Yan Ji, has admired Miss Su for a long time, and wants to take advantage of the joy of the imperial grandmother's birthday to marry Qingzhi as a concubine, hoping that the grandmother will be fulfilled!" With that, he lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down on his knees.
It's Yan Ji. Yue Xi frowned, Yan Ji asked to marry Su Qingzhi?
And Su Qingzhi didn't have time to retreat, and at this time, she had no choice, and she didn't dare to go, so she had to kneel beside Yan Ji together.
In the center of the huge night hall, only the two of them knelt on the ground, the man was dark red in a gorgeous robe, and the woman was in a light crimson brocade skirt, and there were some matches that depended on each other.
The first few people did not speak, and the entire night hall was so strangely silent, as if the excitement of the previous moment was an illusion.
Yue Xi raised his eyes and glanced at Yan Zhi, his lips were pursed tightly, the fingertips holding the wine glass showed a gray color due to too much force, and his eyes were slightly drooping, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.
After a moment of collective death, some people began to live, and once they came back to life, they were a little restless.
Officer A said: "These two people are a match made in heaven, it is suitable!" β
Officer B said: "These two places are set up in a pair, and they are matched!" β
The more Xi supports his forehead, this group of people who are with the mud are like your third grandmother, suitable for your second uncle?
It's just that these people are not so much making peace with the mud as they are speaking for the emperor.
Sure enough, Yan Heng laughed and waved his hand: "If that's the case, then it's ......."
"Father!"
However, before Yan Heng finished speaking, he was interrupted loudly.
Yan Zhi got up from his throne and walked quickly to the hall, knelt beside Yan Ji, and said loudly: "Father, the son and the emperor are still Qingzhi, and they intend to marry her as a concubine, and I implore my father and emperor to fulfill it!" β
The whole hall was silent!
His back was straight, like a pine, and he would rather bend than bend.
Yue Xi closed his eyes, as soon as Yan Zhi said this, he was afraid that Yan Heng would dislike him even more, Su Qingzhi's father Su Bailou was the prime minister of the dynasty, and his protΓ©gΓ©s were all over the place, so he should not be underestimated. If any prince has his help, he will be like a tiger with wings. Yan Heng was already jealous of Yan Zhi's military exploits, but now that he is in such a-for-tat confrontation with Yan Ji, Yan Heng doesn't know how to suspect him. And Yan Zhi couldn't have known this, but he still knelt in the hall without hesitation.
Yan Zhi, do you really have such a deep affection for Su Qingzhi?
The ministers of civil and military affairs in the hall really no one dared to speak this time, so they could only choose to die collectively again.
After being silent for a moment, Emperor Yan Heng suddenly chuckled: "Su Aiqing, you have raised a good daughter, and you have caused my two sons to embarrass me so much!" β
The tone was a little helpless and a little aggrieved.
Yue Xi had goosebumps and trembled, and the two big words "hypocrisy" were clearly pasted on Yan Heng's head.
Su Bailou, who was named, hurriedly stood up, with a look of resignation, and finally only said: "Weichen is afraid, Weichen is guilty!" β
Yan Heng laughed: "What is there to fear about you old thing, since ancient times, I have been a fair lady and a gentleman, and my two sons are affectionate." β
The emperor joked with others, how dare everyone not agree, the people who had just died quickly came back to life, and the hall was suddenly full of joy.
"It's just... These two are my sons, and it would be biased to allow anyone," he turned his head to look at the Queen Mother, who nodded at him with a smile, and he continued: "How about Su Aiqing choosing a son-in-law by herself?" β
Su Bailou didn't hesitate, and knelt down with a snap: "Weichen is afraid, Weichen doesn't dare!" The two princes are both dragons and phoenixes among people, and they are micro-ministers...... Wechen is terrified! β
Yue Xi said: Old illiterate, coming and going will only be a word of panic!
She didn't buy it, but Emperor Yan Heng was very useful: "Then according to Su Aiqing's opinion, what should I do?" β
Su Bailou didn't know how to answer, the emperor's ball was kicked very unjustly, he didn't dare to open his mouth, so all the civil and military ministers in the hall pretended to be dead again. Yan Heng didn't wait to see Yan Zhi anymore, and it was not their turn to fall on his face.
Yan Heng raised his eyebrows and leaned back in the chair, looking at the ministers in the palace: "What can the ministers do?" β
People dare not speak.
After a moment of silence, an old man with a square face stood up and said slowly: "Your Majesty, this kind of thing has been ...... before."
Yue Xi closed her eyes slightly, and before the old man finished speaking, she suddenly stood up and saluted Yan Heng, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the people think that since the fourth prince and the fifth prince are all in love with Miss Su," her gaze slid over Yan Zhi, who was kneeling in the hall, and pulled the corner of her lips: "If Miss Su is allowed to choose her own husband, wouldn't it be a good story?" β
The room was full of lights, and she stood at the end of the woman's seat, with a smile on her face, her back straight, elegant and beautiful.
Yan Zhi, there's only so much I can help you!
