Chapter 104: The acting is very good
"Okay, good dance, come on, give the golden silk clothes to the eighth princess of Xixia!"
Shangguan Hao took the lead in applauding, and then thunderous applause broke out in the hall, as his voice fell, Gonggong Li brought a peerless treasure - gold silk silk clothes, legend has it that the most dexterous embroidery of the previous dynasty was made, all made of precious gold wire, there is only one in the world, Princess Ziwei wanted to be rejected by Shangguan Hao, this time it was awarded to the foreign princess, but it was a very generous handwriting.
"Ling'er, thank you for your grace."
Tuoba Ling is also flattered, legend has it that this golden silk dress is warm in winter and cool in summer, and invulnerable, it is the lightest dance clothes, and it is also the lightest self-defense weapon, she also hardly thought that the Nanyue Emperor would give her such a precious thing. So after she had finished perfectly, she crossed her arms and shoulders on the spot, more like a kind of etiquette of their people, and the maid beside her took the reward, and she returned to her seat gracefully after thanking her.
"Your Majesty, in order to conclude friendship between the two countries, I will send Her Royal Highness the Eighth Princess to Nanyue for peace with the emperor, and ask Your Majesty to choose a good son-in-law for her!"
Waiting for Tuoba Ling to return to his seat and sit down, the envoy next to Tuoba Hong slowly stood up and told the purpose of the trip, Tuoba Ling raised his head and opened his mouth to say something, but was stopped by a look from Tuoba Gong beside her, she lowered her head aggrievedly, and there were even crystal tears flashing in her eyes. As a princess of the royal family, her marriage has never been up to her.
Shangguan Hao was toasting each other with the queen with a smile on his face, and when he heard the envoy's words, his smile gradually stiffened at the corners of his mouth, but it was only in an instant that he changed to a happy look.
"I have really felt the sincerity of your Western Xia. The eighth princess is such a talented and beautiful woman, marrying into my Nanyue is naturally the glory of my Shangguan family, and now only the prince and the sixth are at the age of marriage, but they are very compatible with the eighth princess, Hong'er, Yi'er, what do you two think? ”
Shangguan Hao actually knew that Tuoba Ling's marriage to his crown prince was already a sure thing, and this Western Xia Emperor was clearly coming for his prince, but he still wanted to confirm Shangguan Xuanhong's intentions, if he refused, then it was also a good choice to marry him to the sixth child.
"The eighth princess has a noble identity, a transcendent temperament, and outstanding talents, not to mention that the third brother has already had the heart to marry, and the beauty of a gentleman is an adult, and the son believes that the third brother and the eighth princess are a godsend!"
Shangguan Xuanyi was tasting wine in Jiaoerlang, thinking that no one had noticed him just now, so he could watch the play, but he didn't expect the war to suddenly spread to him, so he quickly put down his wine glass, sat up straight and said his advice.
When Shangguan Hao just named Shangguan Xuanyi, a trace of joy climbed in the heart of Tuoba Ling on the other side, she felt that things should have a turnaround, so she watched his every move with great anticipation, but she didn't expect him to say such a prevarication with a smile, her heart was as cold as ice in an instant, it was just her wishful thinking, he didn't pay attention to her at all. Her eyes were red, and she looked at Shangguan Xuanyi full of disappointment.
Shangguan Xuanyi also felt Tuobaling's strong emotions towards him, but he really didn't know what it meant, why she looked at him so sadly, could it be that his words hurt her, but for the sake of the emperor's great cause, he was bound to help with this matter.
"Erchen ......"
Shangguan Xuanhong looked at Luo Nishang nervously from the time the emperor ordered him, why didn't he let him see Luo Nishang earlier, so that he wouldn't rashly ask to marry the princess of Xixia, but would he really leave the position of crown princess to her? But the hesitation at the moment was actually afraid that she would be angry or hurt. The woman opposite didn't raise her head for a moment, as if she deliberately ignored him, and today she deliberately changed her appearance and hid her true appearance, but just looking at those eyes, he could still recognize her at a glance. Today, if he marries the princess of Xixia, he will definitely be like a tiger, but what about her? Will you lose her? How should he choose?
"What a system! Say anything! ”
Shangguan Hao saw that he kept opening his mouth but wanted to speak several times and stopped, he was a little anxious, wasn't he very categorical when he came to him to ask for advice last time! What are you doing at the moment, it's a shame!
"Brother Huang, say it quickly!"
Shangguan Xuanyi didn't care about exploring Tuoba Ling's sad expression, so he had to pull his sleeve and remind him loudly. Why does the royal brother always look at Princess Yuxiu's maidservant today, could it be that something happened that he didn't know, but this is not the time for children to grow up.
"Erchen has admired the eighth princess for a long time and is willing to marry her as the crown princess of the main palace."
Although Shangguan Xuanhong hesitated in his heart, after being awakened by Shangguan Xuanyi, he still insisted on his original intention, he could have no love, but he could not have power.
Tuoba Ling heard this sentence and really lost her life, she felt like a puppet at the mercy of others at this moment, no soul, no right to speak, in the past in Western Xia, she was restrained by her parents and royal brothers and sisters, and in the future in South Vietnam, she will also be controlled by the royal family and the voice of the people, in this life, she has never been able to live for herself. Tuoba Gong seemed to feel his sister's frustration, he poured a glass of wine for her, and then touched her hair, the little girl who was chasing after him and playing not long ago turned out to be an adult who was going to marry a woman today. Tuoba Ling didn't look up, Tuoba Gong sighed, and then silently withdrew his hand, he knew that she resented him, and he also knew that she couldn't help herself, but this was the mission that must be completed in the Tuoba family, even if he was as powerful as him, he couldn't escape the family's arrangement to let him deviate from his heart.
Shangguan Xuanhong seemed to hope that Luo Nishang would have some sad reaction, and after he finished speaking, he did not look at Tuoba Ling, but looked at her instantly, but this time it was no longer her bowed face, but her indifferent smile, that kind of smile had no meaning, but it made Shangguan Xuanhong feel that she was like a puff of smoke, getting farther and farther away from him, and she couldn't catch it anymore.
Yin Yi slowly drank the hot tea in the cup, she didn't care to see the confrontation between the two, but she knew that Luo Nishang really let go this time. When Shangguan Xuanhong answered just now, she was tense, but after hearing the answer, her whole body relaxed, as if she had been reborn. Yin Yi was still holding her hand to comfort her, but seeing her expression, she was really relieved, Luo Nishang was really relieved this time, she was not disappointed, but she didn't care anymore.
"In this way, I will personally marry the crown prince and the eighth princess, Li Feng, immediately draft a decree, and make every effort to prepare for the internal affairs office, choose an auspicious day of the zodiac, and let the two choose a day to get married!"
Shangguan Hao had long expected such an answer, so he was not too surprised, but the queen was very happy, and her eyes were full of joy when she looked at Tuoba Ling.
"This palace is also very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, Ling'er, come to this palace quickly, let this palace take a good look at you!"
The queen beckoned to Tuoba Ling, and then Tuoba Ling put away his sadness and loneliness, put on a pleasing and well-behaved appearance, and knelt down not far from the queen.
"If it's really a sign, it's no wonder Hong'er can't forget you. This, you hold, was given to the palace by the Queen Mother when she was the crown princess in the palace, and now, the palace can also be passed on to you with confidence, reach out. ”
The queen took off a bracelet studded with gems from her hand, and then handed it to the palace maid beside her, and she respectfully placed it in Tuoba Ling's hand, no matter how Tuoba Ling wanted to refuse on such an occasion, he could only accept it obediently.
"Ling'er, thank you, Queen Mother!"
Tuoba Ling held this golden bracelet in her hand, which symbolized the identity of the future mother of the country, but felt that it weighed a thousand pounds, no matter how many people were red, but she really didn't want it.
"It's still called the queen of the palace, it's time to change your words!"
The queen also has her own calculations, which makes it clear that there is no possibility of repentance about this marriage, and Tuoba Ling is the prospective daughter-in-law she identifies.
"Ling'er, thank you, Concubine!"
Tuoba Ling pulled out a smile, and then obediently changed his words, this kind of day will be a common thing in the future, and this is just the beginning.
"That's right, Your Majesty, you see how ingenious Ling'er is, she must be a princess with good character in the future, don't you say?"
The empress took the emperor's arm and began to interact, throwing a "victorious" look at the concubine on the other side of the emperor.
"The queen is right, Ling'er, you should also change your name to 'Father'."
Shangguan Hao saw that the queen was so happy and also had some joy, this girl really looked very pleasing, since he was going to be a daughter-in-law, he couldn't always pull his face.
"Ling'er has seen her father."
Tuoba Ling had to change his words obediently and salute obediently, looking very knowledgeable like that.
But Yin Yi saw that her hands hanging in her arms had been clenched very tightly, and just now she had been peeking at Shangguan Xuanyi, which made Yin Yi feel sympathetic, and it was a family marriage that beat mandarin ducks, this princess was really pitiful.
"I, Xixia, am also very honored to be married to your dynasty, Shangguan brother Wen Taowuluo, has always been a talent admired by the prince, and now he has become my brother-in-law, it is a great honor to be here, Tuoba Gong is here for his father and queen mother to thank Your Majesty, today I will entrust Ling'er to your Shangguan family!"
Tuoba Gong stepped forward and stood in the hall, and performed a Western Xia etiquette as standard, he glanced at Tuoba Ling, who had been allowed to kneel beside the queen, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, in the end, he had seen his sister since he was a child, and he always hoped that she could be happy.
"Naturally, this is the blessing of my Shangguan family!"
Shangguan Hao touched his beard, and his heart really became very satisfied with this family matter.
"This prince will definitely treat Princess Ling'er well, Brother Tuoba, please rest assured!"
Shangguan Xuanhong didn't dare to look at Luo Nishang again, at this moment, the passion of power had permeated his body, he put on the most sincere smile and raised his glass, saluted Tuoba Gong from afar, and then made his own promise.
