Chapter 199: A banquet in the palace appears like a cloud
Hearing this, Xiao Huaijin knew that it was not easy for Hua Zhen to say this, but she was still very content, so she nodded immediately: "This is what you promised yourself." ”
"Well, I promised. Hua Zhen nodded as she spoke, her eyes were full of smiles, and she looked at Xiao Huaijin thinking about Mrs. Ning's words today, and couldn't help but ask: "Did you go to Grandfather Ning to propose marriage?"
Hearing this, Xiao Huaijin nodded, and said while serving Hua Zhen vegetables: "Your father and mother are no longer there, the Shen family is not in harmony with you, and you can't be your master, the only one who can interfere in your marriage, you will only listen to the Ning family." I thought that since I decided to marry you, I should go and explain the Ning family first, so that when you are willing to marry me in the future, there will be no obstacles. ”
As he spoke, his eyes were full of smug smiles, as if he was showing off to Hua Zhen.
Hua Zhen, who was watching it, couldn't help laughing, and immediately lowered her head and picked up the dishes.
The two of them really looked like husband and wife, gossiping with each other and finishing a meal.
He sat in the gazebo in the courtyard and admired the moon.
Looking at this situation, Hua Zhen lost her mind for a moment, looked at Xiao Huaijin beside her, and took the initiative to lean her head on her shoulder for the first time.
Feeling Hua Zhen's initiative, Xiao Huaijin was even more ecstatic in her heart.
But he remained calm on his face, as if he was afraid that his actions would scare her, so he carefully held her in his arms, and said in a very soft voice: "Shall we go back to Yanbei?" ”
Hearing this, Hua Zhen looked at Xiao Huaijin but asked, "Are you willing?"
Xiao Huaijin understood what Hua Zhen meant, the reason why he came to the capital this time was because he was planning for Dayan's country.
This is something that the Xiao family has been planning for decades, and if he takes Hua Zhen back to Yanbei at this time, it will be tantamount to giving up the Xiao family's plan and giving up the Xiao family's preparation for so many years.
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Huaijin suddenly quieted down.
After glancing at the moonlight in the sky for a long time, he then looked down at Hua Zhen in his arms, and immediately said coldly: "If you tell the truth, if the Xiao family had been planning for so long before, I would not be reconciled." But now it's different, I'm willing to give up Dayan's country for you. ”
Suddenly, Hua Zhen's heart suddenly suffocated, looking at the seriousness in Xiao Huaijin's eyes, and the indescribable shock in her heart.
Zhao Ting had also said sweet words to her at the beginning, so she was not surprised that Xiao Huaijin could say sweet words.
It's just that I didn't expect that Xiao Huaijin would want to give up the entire Dayan for her.
How not to be shocked in my heart.
looked at Xiao Huaijin for a long time and didn't know what to say.
"What's the matter? Isn't there anything to say about being moved?" Xiao Huaijin said, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he took away the hand holding Hua Zhen, and then looked at Hua Zhen's eyes and smiled even more: "If that's the case, then hurry up and get used to it, this world is an infatuated person, and I can't say how many things that move you in the future." ”
Looking at the smile on Xiao Huaijin's face, the corners of Hua Zhen's mouth also raised, and she adjusted a comfortable posture to lean on Xiao Huaijin's arms: "Don't worry, I will give you this world." ”
The voice is very soft, so light that it will disperse as soon as the majesty blows.
Xiao Huaijin only sighed lightly when he heard this: "If you need to worry about this, I would rather not want this country, I just want you to be carefree by my side, eat the food I cook for you every day, wear the clothes I prepared for you, and be happy." ”
Hua Zhen suddenly had a smile on her face when she heard this, and leaned into Xiao Huaijin's arms.
I don't know when, I actually fell asleep, Xiao Huaijin couldn't help but scratch her nose, picked her up, and sent her to the bed on the second floor.
Only then did he reluctantly leave.
When Hua Zhen woke up, she saw that she was already lying on the wound bed, while Jiang Fu and Xia Zhu were waiting on the side, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
Jiang Fu immediately understood, looked at Hua Zhen and said with a smile: "Last night to admire the moon, the county lord fell asleep after rewarding it, and the prince came back with the county lord, and told us to take care of the county lord and go back to the other garden by ourselves." ”
Hua Zhen immediately understood when she heard this, and nodded: "Go and prepare some hot water." ”
Jiang Fu and Xia Zhu responded with a smile.
Because of Wei Guogong's case, the emperor wronged the Ning family, and he couldn't say anything.
He set up a banquet in the imperial garden in the palace and invited hundreds of officials.
Because of the relationship between Hua Zhen and the Ning family, someone specially came to invite Hua Zhen into the palace.
Jiang Fu looked at Hua Zhen holding the post, and was a little worried: "In the palace, will this be fraudulent?"
Hearing this, Hua Zhen smiled and shook her head: "No, help me change my clothes, since the emperor has already ordered it, it's not good if it's late." ”
Jiang Fu nodded when she heard this, and turned around to look for clothes.
The Ning family guessed that the emperor should summon Hua Zhen into the palace together, so they specially sent someone to pick up Hua Zhen.
When Hua Zhen got into the carriage, she saw that Old Lady Ning was already sitting in the carriage, and hurriedly said, "Why is grandmother waiting here?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Ning looked at Hua Zhen with a smile: "Thinking that I have to get in the car later, the trouble will not move, let's go, this time is not early." ”
After speaking, he instructed the coachman to rush to Chongwen Gate.
When the carriage arrived at Chongwenmen, he looked at the emperor's palace banquet, but he invited a lot of people, including Prince Zhaoyang and Princess Li, and Princess Dongjun also followed.
Hua Zhen looked at the carriage of the Dongjun Palace, and took a special look, but she didn't see Ruoyun.
thought that even if Ruoyun entered the Dongjun Palace, he didn't have any orders, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to come to this palace banquet, so he gave up.
Seeing Zhaoyang coming over with a smile, he immediately blessed his body, but Zhaoyang took Hua Zhen's hand, looked at Mrs. Ning, and called out very respectfully: "Mrs. Ning." ”
Hearing this, Old Madam Ning nodded slightly: "Lord Zhaoyang." ”
Only then did Zhaoyang pull Hua Zhen and say, "Have you heard of it?"
Hua Zhen was stunned when she heard this: "What did you hear?
"You still don't know, tell you, today the emperor set up a banquet and summoned all the women into the palace, and not only the internal and external women, but also the daughters of many adults' families followed. As he spoke, he even motioned for Hua Zhen to look to the side: "That's the concubine of Zhongshu Ling Jiang, do you know, she is a few months older than you, and now she is sixteen years old." Dao is now not talking about marriage, I heard my mother say that this young lady of Lord Jiang's family is only afraid that she has already decided to marry a certain prince, so she has not discussed her relatives for a long time. ”
Hua Zhen naturally knew this for a long time, and when she heard Zhaoyang say this at this moment, her heart immediately moved slightly.
"What do you mean, the emperor wants to take advantage of this palace banquet to give marriage?"
Zhaoyang immediately nodded and lowered his voice: "It is said that these were originally waiting for this draft to be married again, but the emperor didn't know why and decided not to draft this year. ”
Saying that, he glanced at Hua Zhen with some concern, and then his voice was a little softer: "I guess that the emperor is afraid that the emperor is going to give this Miss Jiang to the crown prince in marriage." ”
Hua Zhen looked at Zhaoyang's face when she heard this, and then she reacted, knowing that she was worried about herself, but she was afraid that in her heart, she should marry the prince.
So at the moment, I feel sorry for myself.
I immediately thought that I was afraid that it wouldn't make sense, so I forgot it.
As if he didn't want Hua Zhen to worry too much about this, Zhaoyang said softly as he walked: "In addition to this, I also know that there is another person, that is, the concubine of Lord Liu Zhongyuan in the imperial history, it is said that this family affair was promised by the Queen Mother, and she was to be pointed out to the King of Song. ”
Hua Zhen had long known that when she heard Zhaoyang say at this moment, she was naturally not surprised, but just nodded.
Saying this, he followed Prince Li and Old Madam Ning to the Imperial Garden.
Seats have already been set up in this imperial garden, and there are palace maids leading everyone to take their seats.
Hua Zhen sat down next to Zhaoyang because of her position, and as soon as she sat down, she saw someone looking at her.
Immediately raised his head, met Xiao Huaijin's gaze, and saw the smile on the corner of his mouth, and suddenly felt slightly warm in his heart.
But he couldn't help but look at Zhaoyang on the side worriedly, but saw Zhaoyang sitting on the side.
Looking at that appearance, it seemed that she was afraid that when Xiao Huaijin came over, she would not be the most dignified.
Suddenly, a trace of worry rose in Hua Zhen's heart, and she knew Zhao Yang's thoughts about Xiao Huaijin very well.
I wanted to make it clear to Zhaoyang, but I didn't know how to speak.
Immediately very embarrassed, looking at Zhaoyang.
I heard Zhaoyang say very quietly: "Zhen'er, you can see Xiao Shizi, just sit opposite us, just now I looked at him and looked at me, I was so scared that I didn't dare to move, do you think he is still looking at me now?"
Hearing this, Hua Zhen glanced at Xiao Huaijin, and then shook her head: "It's gone." ”
Zhaoyang breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to look at Hua Zhen: "It's really a little tired like this, sitting across from him, always afraid that he will look at me, very nervous." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Hua Zhen and asked, "Zhen'er, do you understand what I mean?"
Hua Zhen nodded, and listened to the eunuch say in a loud voice: "The emperor has arrived." ”
He immediately lowered his head, got up and knelt on the ground, and shouted long live with everyone.
After Emperor Yan Wen entered the table, he raised his hand: "Zhongqing is flat." ”
Hua Zhen then stood up and sat down in her seat.
As soon as he sat down, he listened to Zhaoyang say in surprise: "Who is she?"
Hua Zhen followed Zhaoyang's gaze at this time.
It's just a glance, but the whole person is stunned in place.
The woman in splendid clothes sitting on the right side of Emperor Yan Wen was also looking at her at the moment.
The corners of his mouth are smiling, and his gestures are full of a luxury that people can't ignore.
It's not someone else, it's Ruoyun who was with Princess Dongjun at the beginning.
Seeing Hua Zhen stunned, Zhaoyang suddenly asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?"
Hearing this, Hua Zhen came back to her senses, looked at Zhaoyang and shook her head: "It's okay." ”
Zhaoyang didn't ask much, just looked at Ruoyun and couldn't help but say, "Zhen'er, didn't you live in the palace a few days ago?
Hua Zhen shook her head when she heard this, and she was even more puzzled when she heard Zhaoyang's voice: "I have never seen it, who is this woman, she should be the imperial concubine sitting on weekdays, but today she is asked to sit here, it seems that it is not simple." ”
