"The king of Lanling County has arrived, and Miss Zheng Qingqing of the Zheng family of Xingyang has arrived——"

Although he stepped into the hall with Gao Changgong, Zheng Qingqing didn't know what he was thinking about at the moment, and his fugue was too empty.

Even when the slave standing outside the hall with a sharp voice announced their arrival to the people in the hall, Zheng Qingqing still looked in a trance of no idea.

I don't know if it's the first time to attend such a big scene with Gao Changgong, but she is a little nervous or something, in short, she looks a little absent-minded.

The loud voice of the minions outside, everyone in the hall naturally heard it clearly, except for the generals who had met Zheng Qingqing with Gao Zhan before and Gao Yanzong, after this ceremony, a wave of excitement and excitement came to their hearts.

In addition, other Gao Changgong's other half-siblings, including Princess Le'an, as well as the ministers of civil and military affairs present, Gao Zhan's harem concubines and the crown prince Gao Wei, etc., all showed doubts and curiosity on their faces.

They really wanted to see what the legendary future Princess of Lanling's Miss Zheng looked like.

"The nephew and Qingqing are late, please forgive the emperor."

After Gao Changgong and Zheng Qingqing nodded to the people in the hall and saluted each other, they came to the sitting Gao Zhan and Queen Hu to bow respectfully, and with a little apology, they bowed to Gao Zhan who was sitting on the throne with Zheng Qingqing.

Including Princess Le'an, after finally being able to see the true face of the future Princess Lanling at this moment, they all sighed in their hearts, a talented woman, a golden boy and a jade girl, this black and white outfit made the two of them feel no sense of disobedience even if they stood together.

The king of Lanling County has both sound and beauty, both civil and military; The young lady of the Zheng family in Xingyang is noble, the right person, and she is also handsome and gentle, and she has a good heart.

It is really a rare pair of matching people in the world.

And after Princess Le'an sat on the throne cleared Zheng Qingqing's appearance, her whole mind couldn't help but drift to the picture she met in the Imperial Garden, her brows furrowed slightly, and she looked pensive, as if she remembered something.

It turned out that the woman in white that she glimpsed with her eyes in the imperial garden was the future princess of Lanling, the young lady of the Zheng family in Xingyang, Zheng Qingqing?

At this moment, Gao Zhan in the seat waved his hand at them casually and said, "That's it, today is a good day." Besides, where is the need to apologize for such a trivial matter? It seems that Gao Zhan is in a good mood today, and he didn't pay much attention to the sesame-sized things they committed, looking at the two of them, he smiled wantonly, "Su'er won again this time, and I have been worried about what to reward you. After all, in the first few times, I have rewarded all kinds of rare things such as gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, and I think that if I always reward you with these as rewards, it is too much of a cookie-cutter and meaningless at all. It just so happens that today I will hold this celebration banquet and the marriage decree between you and the daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang as a reward for your achievements in this battle. Asu, what do you think? ”

"Nephew ......" Gao Changgong bowed respectfully to Gao Zhan, and was about to answer.

And the old queen, who was sitting next to Gao Zhan, covered her mouth and smiled inexplicably at this moment, as if she was proposing to Gao Zhan in a mocking tone: "Your Majesty, will such a reward be too small?" After all, the king of Lanling County has made outstanding military achievements, but to be honest, he has always rewarded gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin and other vulgar things, which are inevitably too uninspiring. At present, the king of Lanling is also at the age of starting a family, although he has already had a marriage contract with the Zheng family of the Xingyang family, but for the sake of the heirs, should he still add a side room for the king of Lanling County on the basis of marrying the Zheng family of Xingyang? The concubine remembers, didn't some ministers give you some concubines a few days ago? That's exactly more than twenty people. Why don't you let those women come up, and let the king of Lanling choose one of these twenty women as a side room, as another reward from the emperor to the king of Lanling, how about it? ”

When Queen Hu's words fell, everyone looked at Gao Zhan silently.

But seeing that Gao Zhan was slightly stunned after hearing Queen Hu's words, and then glanced at Gao Changgong and Zheng Qingqing under the seat, frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

The people in the palace all held their breath because of Gao Zhan's move, the whispers on the table were silent, and they didn't dare to make a sound, and the expectant eyes were very much thinking about what kind of decision their emperor would make in the next moment.

Everyone tacitly suspected and speculated about the emperor's meaning in their hearts, but I don't know how long it took, Gao Zhan, who had considered it in his heart, finally nodded, and it seemed that he agreed with the opinion of the late queen by default.

Zheng Qingqing, Gao Changgong and Gao Yanzong were all surprised by Gao Zhan's move, but Princess Le'an, who was sitting down, was a little suspicious and confused because of Queen Hu's sudden proposal at this time and Gao Zhan's acquiescence.

Turning his head to look at the expression of Gao Wei, the prince's cousin who was sitting opposite him, the brows that had been stretched couldn't help but wrinkle deeper and deeper because of this incident at this time.

I couldn't help but speculate in my heart, this Queen Hu had not scrupled about filial piety when her cousin Gao Wei was not born, and then, from Gao Wei's birth to the present, I saw that Xiao Guan was increasingly trusted by the ninth uncle, and Xiao Guan won the hearts of hundreds of civil and military officials in the court, and the hearts of the common people, and her power is also increasing, I am afraid that there will be obstacles to Gao Wei's future road, I am afraid that this self-evident taboo heart has already been revealed, right?

But where are the other civil and military ministers, harem concubines and other cadres as many as they think?

No matter what happens now, in their minds, it is nothing more than watching a play.

Immediately afterwards, Gao Zhan ordered someone to bring the twenty women into the temple.

These women who entered the hall were all women of prime age, looking at this dress, in Zheng Qingqing's eyes, it was simply a real dancing girl.

After leading them to stand in a vertical line of ten people on the left and right according to the instructions, Gao Zhan on the seat smiled and asked Gao Changgong to choose one of the twenty women as his side room.

But even so, Gao Yanzong, who was uninformed and misunderstood that King Lanling was making trouble choosing a good woman, and Gao Yanzong, who really knew his thoughts, Le An and Zheng Qingqing had already figured out what he really meant from his subtle hesitant expression.

He was hesitant to accept the emperor's "proposal" from Empress Hu, the reward he had "proposed" from Empress Hu.

If he accepted this reward, it would be equivalent to violating the oath he made to Zheng Qingqing, then in the future, in the palace of Lanling County, a lonely resentful woman was born, although it was a nominal side room, but he did not get his sincerity, no matter who he chose, if he was not sincere to her, I am afraid that it would be a waste of that woman's life.

If you don't take it, it is tantamount to disobeying the holy command. Even if this high-ranking king of the Qi country is his father's brother and his ninth uncle, in the end, the final result will not be good for him.

"Brother Qiang, Qingqing looks at this girl with a good face and looks delicate and gentle, so it's better to pick this girl."

Gao Changgong was struggling in his heart, and the dozens of pairs of eyes present, including Gao Zhan and Queen Hu, who were on the seat with a mixture of expectation and solemnity, all looked at Gao Changgong and wanted to hear what Gao Changgong's final choice was.

But he didn't want the eldest lady of the Zheng family in Xingyang next to him, but the future Princess of Lanling, Zheng Qingqing, was one step faster than him and made a decision for him quickly.

And as soon as she said this, to be honest, the first reaction of the people present was all surprise and confusion, it was all fake.

"Qingqing, you ......" and Gao Changgong didn't expect Zheng Qingqing's sudden move, and a look of disbelief crossed his handsome face, and he couldn't figure out what Zheng Qingqing's intentions were at this moment.

It was Zheng Qingqing, who still looked calm at the moment, stretched out his hand under his wide sleeves from an angle that everyone couldn't see, gently pulled Gao Changgong's sleeve, and comforted him with his heart transmission technique: "This is just an expedient measure, Qingqing knows your affection for Qingqing, and Qingqing also believes in Brother Xuan." What's more, the Holy Mandate is difficult to do, and there is no need to be embarrassed by it because of purity. ”

Gao Changgong was dedicated to Zheng Qingqing's goodness, and he naturally felt that something was wrong with his proposal, and he didn't intend to agree.

But just when she wanted to use the mind transmission technique to reply to her, she raised her head slightly and glanced at Zheng Qingqing, but saw that she gently pulled Gao Changgong's sleeve and shook her head when everyone was not paying attention, indicating that it was not possible.

Seeing this, Gao Changgong finally sighed with a deep sigh with a little helplessness, and acquiesced in Zheng Qingqing's thoughts in his heart. turned to Gao Zhan on the seat again, and replied respectfully: "Then, the minister chose the woman in the light yellow dress that Fang Cai Qingqing pointed out as the side room of the minister's nephew."

After the words fell, the originally inexplicably embarrassing atmosphere seemed to be somewhat relaxed, and in addition to the surprised and puzzled looks that everyone had maintained from the beginning, Gao Zhan's expression finally changed a little.

The originally calm face that couldn't distinguish joy and anger smiled very wantonly, and with a somewhat ridiculous tone, his eyes wandered between the two: "I didn't expect that Miss Zheng is not only talented and beautiful, but also a tolerant and generous person." Aren't you afraid that Su'er will be favored by a side room and neglected by Su'er at that time? ”

"If the relationship is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight? If two people really love each other, why should they be afraid that the other party will change their minds about themselves and others will snatch their love? I believe in Brother Xuan, but I will not exclude him from accepting many concubines. As long as I have him in my heart and he thinks of me in my heart, it will be fine. In the face of Gao Zhan's seemingly ridiculous, but in fact, it was not ruled out as a temptation, she replied with a slight blessing to him in such a light and light manner.

As soon as these words came out, seeing Zheng Qingqing calmly answering, he pretended to look like a girl's shy appearance and glanced at Gao Changgong, and while praising her, people laughed even more.

After a long time, he turned to Gao Changgong again, still raising his playful smile and said: "Asu, it is really your blessing to be able to marry such a talented and good-looking, tolerant and generous woman, and it is also the blessing of my Daqi royal family!"

Gao Zhan's words fell, out of the essence of flattery and flattery, except for Princess Le'an and Gao Yanzong who were present, who also had some sincere gestures, the rest of the people all got up in unison and slapped Gao Zhan's sycophants invisibly, and then turned to Gao Changgong and Zheng Qingqing, and said a lot of thoughtful congratulations and compliments, before they sat down again one by one.

In fact, it was said that it was a reward for his concubine, which was a temptation of Gao Zhan. In the end, it was not a tactful refusal of Empress Hu's request.

After all, where did the side room welcome the mansion together when he married the Zheng family?

However, after Gao Zhan's refusal, Queen Hu was remorseful and annoyed in her heart, but she still had to pretend to be happy on her face.

After all, not this time, I'm afraid that I won't have this opportunity to reward Gao Changgong in the name of the side room when Gao Changgong has made great achievements?

At this scene, Gao Zhan's originally excellent mood was even better, and he hurriedly asked people to read out the holy decree of marriage, and after letting people post a notice to inform the people of Yecheng, he also asked people to take this holy decree to Xingyang Zheng Mansion to inform him, and then let Zheng Qingqing and Gao Changgong under the seat sit down.

The sound of silk and bamboo piano music around the beam sounded again, and the dancing girl in the palace danced one after another in response to the sound of nature.

It's just that everyone is silent under the joy of this double happiness, talking and laughing, drinking wine, and enjoying food.

Who could have noticed that between the seats, after the crown prince Gao Wei and his mother Empress Hu looked at each other, there was a meaningful smile on the corner of their mouths with a little conspiracy?
