Chapter 299: There is never a shortage of excitement
Shengwang Moqing came to the Eastern Dynasty with the task of marriage, and his every move was with his own ideas, which would also attract people's close attention.
Such an obvious move naturally made everyone speculate.
However, the central figures of these ideas and speculations, Sheng Wang Moqing and Su Qi Miss Su Yunran, seemed to have a tacit understanding, and they did not come forward to explain to everyone, the head of the Su family did not intervene in this matter, and there was no special news from the entire Su family, so in this case, everyone was not good at talking excessively.
When another heavy snow completely covered the imperial capital, His Majesty's palace Zhaohui of the Eastern Dynasty held a palace banquet in the imperial palace for King Mo Qing, who came from Xiling, and invited the boudoir ladies and sons of many families in the imperial capital to be held in the main hall of the Fengluan Palace under the control of the queen's mother.
Yao Zinian, the second lady of the Yao family, participated as the future crown princess of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and Yao Ziran, the young lady of the Yao family, was also invited to attend because of her outstanding performance.
The Su family came to participate in the third son, Su Yunshu, the fourth lady, Su Yunhua, and the seventh lady, Su Yunran.
Although it is a palace banquet, everyone knows in their hearts that this is held for the purpose of choosing a concubine for King Sheng.
The marriage between the Eastern Dynasty and Xiling was not a secret thing.
As early as many years ago, Gong Zhaohui, who was still the prince, married the eldest princess of Xiling, Mo Rongyue, as a concubine, the two were extremely affectionate, after Gong Zhaohui ascended the throne and became the emperor, he also named the princess as the moon concubine, and built an extremely luxurious moon palace for it, the grace is extremely prosperous, and everyone is obvious to all.
It's just that in the past few years, Concubine Yue suddenly lost all her grace for some reason, and stayed in Hanyue Hall all day long, not only dismissed most of the palace people, but also rarely appeared in front of everyone.
As more beauties entered the harem, the palace was still as lively as ever, and over time, everyone forgot about her existence.
Now, the Eastern Dynasty and Xiling are ready to marry again, and everyone will not have many doubts, anyway, the exchanges between the two countries, many times, need this kind of in-law relationship to maintain, even if there is any secret, but with the skin of marriage, everything will not have too much sense of disobedience.
Originally, such a thing as marriage, especially with a member of the royal family, naturally nothing else would happen. However, this time, Gong Lingyu, the little princess who was about to marry in the Eastern Dynasty, suddenly fell seriously ill and never recovered, and there was a faint trend of more seriousness, which gave Gong Zhaohui a headache for a while.
After all, the marriage was originally agreed, and King Sheng of Xiling had already arranged his itinerary and was ready to go.
At this critical juncture, there was such an accident.
Are there any other age-appropriate princesses in the palace, and besides, the one who came from Xiling is a prince after all, according to the etiquette, the Eastern Dynasty can't let a young lady of the family marry, which will lead to contradictions between the two countries.
Originally, Gong Zhaohui also thought about finding a woman with a similar body shape to Gong Lingyu, and let the retreating elders disguise her into Gong Lingyu's appearance.
Anyway, Gong Lingyu is already like that, and it is unknown whether she can survive or not, even if she is really lucky enough to survive, she will find a reason to deal with her in the future, and after that, the stand-in is Gong Lingyu, the little princess of the Eastern Dynasty, and no one will doubt it.
After all, there are so many heirs of Zhaohui in his palace, and a new prince and princess will be born later.
In the palace, there will never be a shortage of people, nor will there be a lack of excitement, let alone say anything, without which princess, something big will happen.
However, to Gong Zhaohui's surprise, King Sheng of Xiling didn't know where to learn about the accident of the little princess who was about to marry, and His Majesty of Xiling also sent a handwritten letter, expressing his willingness to continue the marriage, so that King Sheng could come to the Eastern Dynasty and choose a boudoir lady as his concubine among the various families.
This can be regarded as a big surprise to Gong Zhaohui.
However, since Xiling is willing to do so, Gong Zhaohui will naturally not refuse, but it is a boudoir lady from a family, Gong Zhaohui will not care too much, anyway, this young lady is married from the Eastern Dynasty, he can use some special means to keep everything under his control.
However, the actions of this King Sheng in the Eastern Dynasty really puzzled Gong Zhaohui.
Since coming to the Eastern Dynasty, in addition to coming to the palace, Mo Qing has stayed in the post house, and moreover, he is only in the Qing'an Hall.
Originally, Gong Zhaohui felt that any young lady from any family who was selected as the concubine by this Mo Qing would gladly accept it, after all, the reputation of King Sheng Mo Qing was also very great, and he was in Xiling, and he was able to be as famous as Yan Gongzi, with the title of "Humble Son".
However, what Gong Zhaohui never expected was that Mo Qing only came to contact the little girl Su Yunran of the Su family this time.
Any young lady from any other family, Gong Zhaohui will have a great degree of certainty, but Su Yunran, Gong Zhaohui is not sure at all.
Su Wenye, Yan Gongzi, Concubine Yue and Jingwang Gong Linggui, these are already very obvious, giving Su Yunran a lot of rights, and they will definitely not let Su Yunran suffer even the slightest grievance, it is already very troublesome to let them rest assured that Su Yunran will be handed over to someone, not to mention that they will marry and send them to Xiling?
If it's other ordinary people, it's just these few, each more difficult than the other.
Before holding this palace banquet, Gong Zhaohui also tentatively asked Mo Qing if he was interested in which lady in the imperial capital, however, Mo Qing only smiled and shook his head, with an inexplicable smile on his face, his voice was clear, and he couldn't see his emotions calmly.
"Your Majesty, this king has not yet come into contact with any young lady, and he has not had any ideas."
At that time, Gong Zhaohui would casually hold the teacup in his hand, a deep and meaningful smile appeared on his face, and his fluttering gaze fell steadily on Mo Qing's calm and abnormal face, with exploration and judgment.
"I heard that during this time, King Sheng would often go to Qing'an Hall, and he would also help Miss Seven from time to time."
Speaking of this, Gong Zhaohui paused, his voice was a little brisk, with a faint smile.
"It is rumored that King Sheng and Miss Seven have a very close relationship, but is this true?"
"It's true."
Mo smiled lightly, his warm face smiled lightly, his eyes were deeply soft, and his white clothes seemed to have a beautiful grace with a sleeve.
"Oh?"
Gong Zhaohui squinted, his deep eyes were a little deeper, but his voice was more intensely smiling.
"King Sheng had asked me to postpone the palace banquet for a few days, and wanted to get acquainted with it in the imperial capital first, it seems that the drunkard does not mean to drink."
"Your Majesty laughed."
Mo smiled lightly, his eyes were warm and shining, and he said gently: "This king came to the imperial capital of the Eastern Dynasty for the first time, and he really wanted to get familiar with it first. ”
