Chapter 140: Dinner Confrontation

"Didn't the princess already ask the prince of Lu to propose marriage in the palace?" Ruo Su stretched out his hand, picked up the teacup, poured a cup of tea, handed it to Xiao Xiwei, and said gently.

Xiao Xi looked at Ruo Su silently, and after a while, she retracted her gaze, and her voice sounded faintly, "Does my aunt really think that method works?" ”

Ruosu frowned.

The faint moonlight sprinkled down, casting a shadow through the plum tree in the courtyard, and Xiao Xiwei's face was hidden in this shadow at the moment, making it difficult to see.

If she knew that it was useless, then why did she go to the Lu Guogong Mansion to ask the prince of Lu Guo to come forward?

Before Ruosu could say the question in her heart, Xiao Xiwei had already taken the tea in her hand and took a sip, "The moonlight is really good today." ”

The same bend of the moon, Xiao Xiwei in the Yanwang Mansion looks very good, but Lu Haichuan in the palace may not feel good.

This time it seems that he wants to choose one of the ladies who went to the banquet today to go to the Northern Desert and kiss, but since he sat down, the envoys of the Northern Desert have a Nine Princess, it seems that the Northern Desert is the one who has made up his mind to propose marriage this time must be the Ninth Princess. Looking at the emperor's kind and pleasant appearance, it seems that he has no intention of choosing someone from the ladies present today to go to the Northern Desert and kiss, and it seems that he also acquiesced to this marriage. He originally thought that according to the degree of the emperor's affection for the ninth princess, he was probably not willing to marry the ninth princess to the Northern Desert, but there was no proper reason for him to push off this marriage, yes, Xiao Xiwei asked him to ask the emperor for marriage in front of the palace, and he didn't resist too much, but now it seems that things are not at all like he imagined. And Xiao Xiwei, does she also know this, what is her intention in pushing him out of this trip at this time? And should he open this mouth? If you open your mouth, you are afraid that you will anger the emperor, but if you don't open your mouth, it will be equivalent to cutting off King Yan's back road......

Just when Lu Haichuan was still hesitating, Lu Haiyang's voice suddenly sounded beside him, "Big brother, I see that your face is not very good, is it uncomfortable?" ”

Lu Haichuan hadn't answered yet, but Lu Guogong, who was the head of him, frowned and spoke, "Since you are uncomfortable, take care of it at home." ”

"Father, isn't the eldest brother recuperating at home for a long time, and he wants to come out and join in the fun." Lu Haiyang smiled and said justice to Lu Guo.

"What a lot of fun, I don't know what kind of place this is!" Lu Guogong snorted coldly and glared at Lu Haichuan unhappily.

was reprimanded by his father like this, and a trace of embarrassment quickly crossed Lu Haichuan's dark face.

He knew that this was not the case.

Now Lu Haiyang has been reused by the emperor by the east wind of Chu Yanzhi, the king of Qin, and has even become the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and his father obviously saw this and relied more and more on him, so his chess piece was naturally going to be abandoned.

Thinking of this, Lu Haichuan felt a chill in his heart.

Xiao Xiwei is right, now that he has no choice, since there is no way out, he can only rush through.

Thinking of this, Lu Haichuan stood up abruptly and bowed to the emperor on the throne, "Your Majesty." ”

"What do you want to do?" Seeing Lu Haichuan's actions, Lu Guogong was furious, lowered his voice and glared at Lu Haichuan and shouted.

Lu Haichuan didn't seem to hear it, and walked to the center of the main hall in a few steps and made a big salute to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Wechen wants to ask the emperor to marry Wechen." ”

A high-pitched voice rang out in the main hall, and the surroundings fell silent.

The emperor looked at Lu Haichuan kneeling in front of the hall with his eyes, although he still had a smile on his face, but a faint coldness slowly gathered in his eyes, "Oh, tell me, which family do you like?" ”

Since Lu Haichuan said that he wanted to ask the emperor for marriage, Lu Haiyang's eyebrows couldn't help but pick up.

He said that after Xiao Xiwei went to the Lu Guogong Mansion, Lu Haichuan's 'illness' suddenly recovered, and he had to attend this dinner, which turned out to be the idea. It's just that, Xiao Xiwei, do you really think that just one Lu Haichuan can stop Chu Zuizhi from going to the Northern Desert to make peace?

Lu Haiyang's lips couldn't help but evoke a sneering smile.

"If you go back to the emperor, in fact, Weichen has always admired the ninth princess in his heart, and asked the emperor to grant permission." Lu Haichuan said that, and then fell to the ground.

The emperor's deep eyes, a few wisps of coldness flashed away, but there was no trace of joy and anger in his voice, "You admire Zuizhi, then you tell me, where do you admire Zuizhi?" ”

No one in the capital doesn't know that the Ninth Princess was born fat and addicted to alcohol, and none of her appearance and virtue are outstanding.

"Your Royal Highness, the Ninth Princess is pure and gentle, with a noble character, comparable to ordinary women." Lu Haichuan looked up and replied.

A chuckle suddenly rang out in the hall.

"Big brother, why have I never heard you talk about this? You're not kidding, are you? Lu Haiyang looked at Lu Haichuan and smiled.

Lu Haichuan didn't look at Lu Haiyang, he calmly met the emperor's scrutinizing gaze, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, in fact, when we were hunting in winter, Weichen wanted to ask Shen Guifei to propose marriage to the ninth princess for Weichen, but at that time, Yan Guifei said that the ninth princess was still young, so Weichen waited for a year, and only today did he ask the emperor for your marriage in front of the emperor." ”

On the day of the winter hunt, the former crown princess and Shen Guifei did intend to marry the ninth princess to Lu Haichuan, and most of the ladies and young ladies present at that time knew that if Lu Haichuan said it at this time, it would be reasonable for him to admire the ninth princess.

The emperor looked at Lu Haichuan and did not answer.

Lu Haiyang raised his eyes and glanced at the envoys of the Northern Desert as if unintentionally.

The envoy understood, and stood up suddenly, "Your Majesty the Emperor, this is not good, didn't you promise me a peace kiss in the Northern Desert?" Don't you Da Yue have an old saying, saying that how can a daughter marry twice, since you should respond to our relatives in the Northern Desert, you naturally can't respond to others anymore. ”

"Your Excellency, the emperor has responded to the request of Ling Guo and his relatives, but he did not promise to marry the ninth princess to the Northern Desert, otherwise there would be no banquet today." Lu Haiyang turned his face to look at the Northern Desert envoy and said coldly.

"I don't know what banquet is not a banquet, I only know that the ninth princess must marry our Northern Desert." The envoy of the Northern Desert turned his face sideways and straightened his face.

"Why!" Lu Haichuan was also angry.

"Just because it is the king of our northern desert who we take the kiss, only the status of a princess can be worthy of our noble king." The envoy of the Northern Desert said.

"Your Majesty......" Lu Haichuan took a deep breath, turned his face and looked at the emperor on the throne.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, this time we have brought enough sincerity to Beimo, if His Majesty the Emperor does not allow this marriage, I am afraid that our two countries will not need to communicate in the future." The envoy of the Northern Desert knocked his right hand on his chest and said coldly.

"You're threatening us!"

"That's it!" The emperor suddenly interrupted Lu Haichuan's words in a deep voice, "Beimo really wants to marry the ninth princess." ”

"It's nature."

"Even if there are so many outstanding celebrities here, it can't be." The emperor said again.

"How can this be the same, we are going to marry a real princess. Only a true princess can be worthy of our noble king and become the queen of our northern desert. ”

The emperor looked at the envoys of the Northern Desert for a long time, and finally stood up with a wine glass, "That is the case, then I am here to wish the Northern Desert and the Great Yue generations friendship." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. The minister is also here, and I would like to take my majesty as the king of the Northern Desert to greet you. After receiving the emperor's reply, the envoys of the Northern Desert also happily raised their wine glasses.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to marry the ninth princess to Beimo? She's your most beloved daughter! Lu Haichuan said.

"Presumptuous!" The emperor snorted coldly, and his eyes swept towards Lu Haichuan like a dagger, "She is my most beloved daughter, but at the same time she is also the princess of Dayue, she has all the honor of a princess, then she must bear the duties of a princess, this is her inherent responsibility." ”

The emperor's words were loud and clear.

In fact, with Dayue's current national strength, there is no need to accommodate a country trapped in the desert. Although they can't attack the Northern Desert, they can't do anything with the Northern Desert, let alone let the Northern Desert envoys force each other everywhere in this Zichen Palace. However, even if he knew that this marriage was not wrong, none of the hundreds of officials and ministers in this palace came out to say a word. First, because the emperor has already made a decision, and second, if the nine princesses are not reconciled, then it is their daughter who wants to be reconciled.

"The emperor forgives the sin, the rebel son will only say this nonsense after drinking too much today! Haiyang, don't help your eldest brother down yet. Lu Guogong saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly jumped out to say.

"Yes, father." Lu Haiyang responded, then got up and walked a few steps to Lu Haichuan and stretched out his hand to pull him up, "Big brother, let's go." ”

Lu Haichuan raised his eyes to look at the sarcastic smile on the corner of Lu Haiyang's lips, bit his lip, and finally didn't say anything, and was pulled out of Zichen Hall by Lu Haiyang.

Behind him, in the Zichen Palace, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded again.

The gorgeous dancing girls wore long yellow dresses and danced gracefully on the stage, their dance steps were gentle, their wide sleeves were stretched, and they were as beautiful as butterflies fluttering in the temple. Everyone who watched the dance had a leisurely smile, and no one cared, just now, deciding the tragic fate of a young girl in the flower season......

The sound of silk and bamboo faded away, and soon, no sound could be heard.

Lu Haiyang's grip on Lu Haichuan's hand finally let go, "Big brother, I'll send you here, you know, I can't leave the Zichen Palace." ”

Lu Haichuan didn't even glance at Lu Haiyang, raised his legs and walked towards the palace gate.

"Big brother, have you figured out how to ask Princess Yan to explain today's affairs?" Behind him, Lu Haiyang's voice sounded coldly.

Lu Haichuan stopped, turned his face and stared at Lu Haiyang coldly without speaking.

Lu Haiyang smiled and walked in front of Lu Haichuan step by step, "I really didn't expect it!" I, the upright and reckless eldest brother, would one day listen to a woman's words and run in front of the saint to make such a play? Admiring the Nine Princesses? You can think of such a bad excuse? It's just a pity, you have spent so much effort, and in the end, the emperor still has to marry the ninth princess to the Northern Desert. ”

Lu Haiyang's eyes sank, the hand between his sleeves was clenched into a fist, and the corners of his lips were pursed hard, which suppressed the surging anger in his chest.

Although he wanted to break the body of the person in front of him into pieces, he knew that he couldn't do it, because Lu Haiyang was waiting for this moment, and he couldn't let him do it.

"Big brother, I'm so happy to see you look so aggrieved!" Lu Haiyang laughed loudly as he spoke, and walked towards the palace with his head held high while laughing.

Lu Haichuan's eyes kept rolling with murderous intent.

The nails of both hands pierced into the skin, and there was a sharp pain.

One day, he will give him back all the humiliation he has suffered a hundredfold and a thousandfold of today's humiliation.

He swears!
