Chapter 201: Words from the Heart
Su Zhaoning glanced up at Chen Tianyang in front of him, his eyes were as bright as starlight. The look on his face was full of longing and expectation.
"General Chen, Zhaoning has no intention of you." Su Zhaoning could only repeat his mind again.
Although she understood, these words obviously did not help Chen Tianyang in front of her.
Su Zhaoning thought that it would probably take a heavy blow before Chen Tianyang would understand.
Luckily, the blow was imminent.
As the eunuch entered the banquet, Su Zhaoning saw Nan Huaixin over there at a glance.
He nodded and smiled at her.
There seemed to be very few times when he looked at him and smiled at him like this.
But in the future, there will be more.
Su Zhaoning suddenly felt that today's chestnut cake probably put a lot of sugar.
Although the eyes of the two were short-lived, they fell into the eyes of many people.
Su Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief, and was a little sour.
His second sister did not wronged herself for marrying the Marquis of Dingyuan. She really likes each other.
But he hadn't spent enough time with this caring sister who needed his protection, and he was about to marry her off.
It's a really sour feeling.
Maybe it's because the wine is broken. Su Jinyu took a sip of the wine in front of her and thought silently.
And the eldest son of Zhou next to him was also relieved, and he was also a little unspeakably sour.
It would be good if General Chen Xiao arrived at the same time. Hearing that the Marquis of Dingyuan and this Miss Su are in love, General Chen Xiao should be dead, right?
In fact, this is very good, he doesn't need to sacrifice his marriage and the rest of his life to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism.
But my heart is still quite sour.
Where is he inferior to the Marquis of Dingyuan? Losing to General Chen Xiao, can it be said that the other party is beautiful, and losing to the Marquis of Dingyuan, where is the difference?
Zhou Dagongzi silently compared his height with Nan Huaixin in his heart, and thought about his and Nan Huaixin's appearances, and in the end, he barely found something that could convince him.
Probably because of the peach blossom eyes of the Marquis of Dingyuan, who naturally attracted peach blossoms.
It's not that he's not good enough. It was his mother who didn't give him a pair of peach blossom eyes.
Zhou Dagongzi took a sip of the wine in front of him and felt that it was very difficult to swallow.
He couldn't help but bow his head and whisper to Su Jinyu: "Su Shilang, you never think of this wine?" ”
"It's a little sour." Su Jinyu replied.
Grand Master Zhou nodded affirmatively and drank the sour glass of wine in front of him.
It's so sour!
When the emperor saw Chen Tianyang coming in, there was some gloom in his eyes that could not be concealed.
And the eyes of the envoys of Rongguo also got a little carried away.
In fact, this plan is too easy to guess, it is nothing more than using this proposal to divide the hearts of the monarchs and ministers of the country. Regardless of whether Chen Tianyang agreed to marry the eldest princess of Rongguo, this seed of doubt was planted in Emperor Wei's heart.
It doesn't matter if the plan is easy to guess, just easy to use.
The envoy of Rongguo cleared his throat and spoke to the emperor: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Patriotic Kingdom, since General Chen has arrived, it is better to talk to him face to face about the hospitality of our country." ”
The emperor looked at Chen Tianyang, and his eyes fell on Nan Huaixin again.
Nan Huaixin stood up and said, "Although everything is important, come first and come first. But strictly speaking, the eldest princess of Rongguo did not arrive. On the contrary, it was a matter of begging His Majesty, and both of them arrived. The minister dared to ask His Majesty to marry the minister first. ”
Hearing this, Chen Tianyang suddenly raised his head and looked at Nan Huaixin.
He couldn't believe that he moved his gaze from Nan Huaixin to Su Zhaoning next to him.
In addition to the palace maid, there was no second woman present.
The two people in Nan Huaixin's words were present, and the answer to who they were talking about was self-evident.
Chen Tianyang clenched his fists, his knees bent slightly, and he was about to ask the emperor directly for his own affairs, but he was preempted by another person.
"Courtier, thank you, Your Majesty." Su Zhaoning walked ahead of Chen Tianyang and thanked him.
The emperor was thought of by this woman's crisp voice, and finally set his eyes on Su Zhaoning.
He looked at Su Zhaoning in front of him and asked, "Are you the second girl from the Marquis Mansion of Chang'an?" Your father is the Marquis of Chang'an? ”
"The Marquis of Chang'an is the uncle of the courtier." Su Zhaoning replied.
"Then how do you know the Marquis of Dingyuan?" The Emperor asked again.
In fact, he said this with two meanings.
First, he was asking about Yuanhou and Su Zhaoning. Another question is that the emperor still has the last trace of reluctance to Chen Tianyang after all.
Could it be that today's little girls can like someone based on a rumor?
The courtiers present were either first- or second-class dignitaries, or close ministers around the emperor, so almost all of them had already thought of the meaning of the emperor's second question.
Su Jinyu and Zhou Dagongzi, who were still immersed in the smell of wine, were nervous.
Su Zhaoning and Nan Huaixin have obviously known each other for a long time. If she really answered truthfully, wouldn't it confirm that Chen Tianyang and the eldest princess of Rongguo had already had dealings?
But in this situation, who can remind Su Zhaoning?
Su Jinyu was more worried than Zhou Dagongzi because he didn't want his second sister to be smart enough to guess the emperor's intentions. Because of her past relationship with the Marquis of Dingyuan, she has never deliberately avoided people's eyes. So now if Su Zhaoning lies for Chen Tianyang, it is the crime of bullying the king!
Everyone's eyes were glued to Su Zhaoning's body for a while.
Su Zhaoning's voice sounded in everyone's apprehension: "The courtiers are fortunate to see the marquis, all because of the emperor's grace. ”
"When did I become this matchmaker?" The emperor said this with a faint smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes.
and the hearts of the courtiers were lifted high.
"The courtier's daughter is slightly eldest and the daughter is red, and she has been fortunate to embroider a set of long-lasting wishful pieces." When answering the emperor's words, Su Zhaoning did not have the slightest look of fear on his face.
The first time he had direct contact with the Son of Heaven, if Su Zhaoning said that there was no trace of fear in his heart at all, it would be false.
But she knew that at this moment, fear would not help her in the slightest.
Instead, it will be an obstacle for her.
If Chen Tianyang saw the fear on his face, he might not be misunderstood.
And the emperor ......
Su Zhaoning didn't know about being the son of heaven, but she thought that people always like to hear about the people and things they like.
At the beginning, the long-lasting wishful pieces could attract the four princes to look for embroidery everywhere, so this place shows the weight of Concubine Zhen in the emperor's heart.
It's very risky, this move, Su Zhaoning bet right.
The emperor looked at Su Zhaoning in front of him, and the smile in his eyes had already been put away. He asked directly: "Do you know Que Beiwen?" ”
"The courtiers have learned some at home." Su Zhaoning replied.
The emperor asked again: "Why did a woman in the inner house suddenly think of learning Que Beiwen?" ”
If these words were used to ask Chen Tianyang, it would be another uproar.
Isn't learning the language of other countries used to collaborate with the enemy?
None of the court officials could tell what the emperor meant.
Is it an ordinary question, or do you really suspect this Miss Su?
Su Zhaoning looked up at the emperor and replied with a slight light in his eyes: "Your Majesty is the supreme person in the world, and the heaven of the people. The courtiers once heard that His Majesty had praised Que Beiwen once, and the courtiers yearned. What kind of beauty is the words favored by heaven. The courtiers learned it. ”
People don't like to listen to good words.
And the man among men, the emperor also likes to listen to good words.
Hearing Su Zhaoning's words, the emperor did not get angry when he met her clear eyes that printed his face, but laughed.
He praised three times in a row and said, "Good! Good! Good! ”
"This second girl Su is really clever and clear-eyed, no wonder she can impress the Marquis of Dingyuan!"
The emperor read all the flowers, and naturally had no other charming thoughts about Su Zhaoning. But the admiration in Su Zhaoning's eyes greatly pleased him.
The emperor didn't think there was anything insincere about Su Zhaoning's words.
If Su Zhaoning's words are insincere, wouldn't he deny his status in the hearts of the people.
Therefore, the emperor no longer asked Su Zhaoning, but directly beckoned to Nan Huaixin: "Huaixin, it seems that you only need to be the icing on the cake this time." This second girl Su is a good wife, so I will marry you as the master. ”
When Chen Tianyang heard this, he couldn't hold back anymore and fell directly to the ground.
The emperor looked over, and there was a hint of displeasure in his eyes: "General Chen, what does this mean?" ”
Su Zhaoning smiled crookedly: "Your Majesty, the courtiers have always heard in the past that good things come in pairs. I think General Chen Xiao also asked His Majesty to marry. ”
Listening to Su Zhaoning's words, Chen Tianyang suddenly raised his head.
He looked at Su Zhaoning in front of him, and the tenderness in his eyes turned into scrutiny.
That kind of scrutiny, like a sharp arrow, wants to shoot through Su Zhaoning's body and see the bottom of her heart.
Her heart, he should have understood.
Su Zhaoning saluted the emperor and said, "The courtiers actually heard General Chen's sister talk about this today. said that her brother had the heart to ask His Majesty for marriage, but he was afraid that His Majesty would be reluctant. ”
At this time, the emperor was satisfied with Su Zhaoning, so he asked in a good mood, "I am such a stingy person?" So I'm such a stingy day? ”
Such is the temperament of the emperor. It was obviously a ridiculous remark, but it made the hearts of the officials rise again.
Does this mean that Su Zhaoning's words are inconsistent? Grand Master Zhou looked at the center a little nervously.
Su Jinyu's hand holding the wine glass was also clenched tightly.
Su Zhaoning looked up at the emperor and replied, "The sky is the widest and widest, but there is still the softest place in the bottom of the heart. General Chen Xiao wants Tian's heart, and Tian is naturally reluctant. ”
The emperor heard what Su Zhaoning meant, he looked at Chen Tianyang and asked, "Tianyang, is Miss Su talking about your mind?" ”
The hearts of the people were lifted again.
This sentence is not as soon as it comes out, and the flower-like girl is guilty of deception.
Chen Tianyang obviously understands this truth.
He bowed his head and kowtowed heavily, and replied to the emperor: "The minister has the courage to marry His Majesty's seventh princess." Although the minister and the seventh princess have not seen each other much, since the first time they saw the princess, the smile of one of the princesses was deeply reflected in the eyes and hearts of the minister. In the past, the minister never knew what it was, until he went to the battlefield again this time. When the minister was injured, he just wanted to see the seventh princess again. The minister knows that the minister is not the seventh princess and does not marry, and she is the only one in this life and this world. ”
Chen Tianyang's words, if the three words of the seventh princess are replaced by Su Zhaoning, it will be a true heartfelt statement.
