Chapter 214: The Rising Waves—Extraterritorial Envoys

Previous Chapter

"It's boring." Qin Mochen looked at the mighty procession outside the window and the people's respect for Zhu Tianyi, the corners of his mouth deflated, and he pulled Gu Qingwan and walked out.

The corners of Gu Qingwan's mouth twitched slightly, it was already miserable that the new emperor and queen were gone, and the ancestor worship was also late, and he would definitely be criticized by the group of stubborn ministers in the court when he turned around. Dou, don't you allow people to have a little prestige?

In fact, it may not be that these people really believe in Zhu Tianyi, but the idea of loyalty that has been engraved in their minds from beginning to end makes them surrender. After all, no matter what, Zhu Tianyi carried the prayers of the people of Shengcang.

Originally, since Wen Ying's disappearance last night, Zhu Tianyi's face had not looked good, but now when he saw the scene of the people worshipping, the majestic Yin Owl's face finally showed half a smile.

That night, the new emperor held a banquet in the Chaoyang Palace to entertain the envoys of various countries, and as long as the officials above the sixth rank of the official residence were able to enter the banquet. Therefore, tonight can not be said to be a void seat, the grand occasion is unprecedented, and even the boudoir lady who usually stays at home also comes, and the concubines and concubines follow their fathers and brothers one by one.

Of course, those ministers can't wait for another ten or eight daughters in the family at this moment, maybe which one is lucky enough to be favored by the new emperor, and the family will flourish from then on? After all, now the harem is empty, and the position of the fourth concubine is vacant. For some four-grade and five-grade officials, even if their daughter can't be the queen concubine, being a noble person is also a glorious ancestor, and it can bring huge benefits to the family.

Therefore, before the dinner began, the Chaoyang Hall was as noisy as a busy city, and the officials of various departments took this opportunity to test and alliance with each other, and the ladies and ladies of the various families also made friends with each other, just for the benefit of the future.

Qin Mochen and Gu Qingwan also came to the palace early, but Qin Mochen was called away by Hua Qingfei shortly after arriving, leaving her to sit alone in the main hall. Because Gu Qingwan is the princess of Mobei, there are naturally not a few who want to make friends, Gu Qingwan had to deal with them one by one, but the torturous time did not last long, and Xie Yan came diagonally with Qin Qingdan.

Although Xie Heng has retired to the court, Xie Yan still has an inconsequential idle position, and because of Qin Qingwu's relationship, he also wants to make some contacts. So as soon as Xie Yan arrived at the main hall, he was pulled away by a group of people. Qin Qingwu also walked directly towards her, sat beside her, looked at her and raised her eyebrows and smiled: "What about the bastard?" How to leave you here alone? ”

Gu Qingwan smiled lightly, "Just now Qingfei sent someone to call him away, and he will come over in a while." ”

"Hmph, what can be important to have your own daughter-in-law?" Qin Qingwu snorted lightly as if she was dissatisfied, but the smile in her eyes did not have the slightest reproach.

Gu Qingwan was obviously used to the way their sister and brother got along, shook his head and laughed lowly, but did not answer.

"That's right," Qin Qingwu approached Gu Qingwan and said softly: "At the banquet, someone may deal with you, you have to be careful, I'm afraid it's not good for you." ”

Gu Qingwan frowned, she knew that someone would target her, but she didn't pay much attention to it, and now when she heard Qin Qingwu say this, she actually had an ominous premonition in her heart.

But in order to make Qin Qingwu feel at ease, Gu Qingwan still smiled and nodded, indicating that he would act carefully. It's just that in the bottom of his heart, he was thinking about what kind of trap Luo Tianhua set up for her to drill......

About a quarter of an hour later, the banquet officially began.

The silence in the hall was unusual, and it seemed that everyone was waiting for what kind of good results this new monarch would make in the future.

And......

They just found out from other people's mouths that the future queen had disappeared last night, and they don't know if they have been found now.

However, even if he gets his reputation back, he will have nothing to fear when his daughter enters the palace in the future!

However, just when the people inside were thinking about each other, Zhu Tianyi, who was dressed in a bright yellow narrow-sleeved dragon robe, had a smile on the corner of his mouth that had both the dignity of an emperor and the grace of the emperor, and led Wen Ying, who was also dressed in a golden phoenix robe and had a calm and plain color on his face, and walked in step by step.

Suddenly, there was a small noisy discussion in the hall.

"Didn't you say that the queen is missing? Why is it here now? ”

"Maybe the Wen family is reluctant to say this on purpose, right?" Someone speculated.

"Impossible, I just heard what the Prime Minister's wife said, she said that Prime Minister Zhou told her, it is absolutely true."

"Then why is Empress Wen still here?"

"This..."The man was in a dilemma for a moment, "Maybe the Wen family and the emperor sent someone to rescue her, right?" ”

"Hmph, even if you come back, you must be a person who has lost her innocence, how can you be the queen of a country if you don't do it cleanly?" A young woman with red phoenix eyes said disdainfully. As soon as she saw the emperor holding the woman's hand, she felt very uncomfortable, and she thought to herself, how good it would be if she was standing next to the emperor at this moment......

"Hey, hey, don't say it, you see that there is no strangeness on the queen's face, maybe the news of the disappearance is fake? What if someone deliberately made it up in order to destroy the queen's reputation?

“......”

“......”

However, no matter what others say, Wen Ying, who is in the center of public opinion, has not changed in the slightest from the moment she enters the door to the first place, and there is even an emotion in her eyes that others can't understand.

Gu Qingwan sighed lightly in his heart, it's a pity, it's another woman who is imprisoned in a cage. At the same time, Gu Qingwan also admired Wen Ying very much in her heart, an ancient woman with imprisoned thoughts, she could remain silent after experiencing being kidnapped, as if nothing had happened, and continued to accept the courtiers' bowing.

Gu Qingwan felt that such a woman, if she was an enemy once, would be terrible!

However, looking like this, I have to say that Zhu Tianyi's skin is excellent, and the two of them look very compatible. Maybe Wen Ying is not suitable for the royal family, but she can be a good queen.

Zhou Fuju, who was sitting in the front, was also surprised when he saw Wen Ying, whose expression was always flat, but he was worthy of being the prime minister of a country, and his face soon returned to calm, but there was a wave in his heart.

He and Gu Mingzhen designed to kidnap Wen Ying in order to separate the relationship between Wenfu and the new emperor. Then, just in case, he sent someone to find a few thugs on the street to deliberately destroy the woman's innocence.

In that case, how could this woman be here safe and sound now?

After the courtiers had bowed one by one, the rest of the messengers also congratulated them one by one.

Of course, Gu Qingwan's noble status is unnecessary, and he only needs to send a congratulatory gift from the following minister of Mobei.

On the high position, Zhu Tianyi glanced at Gu Qingwan inadvertently, and saw that the woman always had a faint smile on her face, and her heart instantly became uncomfortable.

Hmph, see how long you can fit it! Now I regret seeing me ascend to the throne, right?

Even if you beg me on your knees, I will never look back at you again!

Obviously, at this moment, the conceited New Emperor His Majesty thought that the smile on Gu Qingwan's face was all faked, and she must have regretted it in her heart at this moment.

Gu Qingwan was a little creepy by an inexplicable gaze, and the goosebumps on his arms were all raised. As soon as she turned her head, she saw Zhu Tianyi arrogantly don't look at her anymore.

Gu Qingwan: ......

I'll go, what kind of eyes is Zhu Tianyi's eyes? She didn't miss Zhu Tianyi's last glance of smugness and provocation just now.

What's the situation, so weird?

Qin Qingwu, who was sitting on the side, noticed Gu Qingwan's strange appearance, turned his head and asked softly, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong with it? ”

Gu Qingwan shook his head, "It's okay, it may have been a little hairy by an animal just now." ”

Animal?

Qin Qingwu's eyes flashed with puzzlement, but he saw that Gu Qingwan didn't say anything more, and he didn't ask any more.

"Your Majesty, Weichen recently met a nobleman, and fortunately got a treasure, and I want to dedicate it to the emperor, with the painstaking efforts of the ministers." In the main hall, Luo Tianhua's loud voice came, which made the originally somewhat noisy banquet instantly quiet.

"Oh? Didn't Lord Luo already serve our country and was willing to donate 5,000 taels of gold to build water conservancy? Why are there still congratulatory gifts that haven't been taken out? A slightly younger official looked at Luo Tianhua, a touch of contempt appeared in his eyes, and his tone was mocking, "But also, in a place as rich as Huangzhou, the treasures in Lord Luo's hands are naturally countless, Lord Luo might as well take them out quickly, so that I can wait to open my eyes." ”

As soon as he mentioned the five thousand taels of gold that he had donated, Luo Tianhua felt a pain in his heart, it was five thousand taels of gold, a whole five thousand taels, which is equivalent to half of the national treasury! Can you take it out all at once without heartache?

However, all this is to blame for Gu Qingwan's little slut! If it weren't for her, how could he think of breaking the fortune in order to dispel the new emperor's doubts and avoid disaster?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but stare at Gu Qingwan with hatred, then arched his hand at Zhu Tianyi first, and then replied to the adult who had just spoken: "This adult is wrong. In order to repay the emperor's love, Weichen is willing to do a little bit for the emperor and the country. ”

Luo Tianhua's words were so sincere that the man couldn't say a word, so he could only snort lightly and don't turn his head away, and no longer argue with him.

Zhu Tianyi looked at Luo Tianhua's expression of loyalty to the country, and sneered in his heart, but his face was friendly, "Lord Luo's mind is clear, Lord Luo is worried about the country and the people, and I am very relieved." ”

"However, I am also curious, what congratulatory gift did Lord Luo prepare for me worthy of such mystery?" As soon as the words changed, Zhu Tianyi brought the topic back again.

"Well, speaking of which, I met extremely foreigners outside the territory a few years ago, and they have a unique ancestral medical book in their hands, I heard that it is about immortality, and it is priceless." Luo Tianhua also deliberately bit the word "medical book" when he spoke.

As soon as he heard "immortality", Zhu Tianyi suddenly became interested.

"Outlanders?"

"Yes. A few days ago, Weichen went to Huangzhou to find three of the foreigners, they heard that the emperor had first ascended the great treasure, and they were willing to come to the main hall to present their treasures in person. After speaking, Luo Tianhua was secretly proud, as if he had anticipated the development of the situation later.

At this time, Wang Silian, who was sitting opposite Gu Qingwan, also raised her eyebrows and glanced at Gu Qingwan intentionally or unintentionally, and Gu Qingwan "sighed" in her heart.

I'm afraid that this lone book in the hands of the outlanders is aimed at himself again, right?
