For a while, all the civil and military officials lowered their heads and no one spoke, and they boldly looked at the expression on Emperor Yan Wendi's face, and they also understood that the emperor was not asking them, but just wanted to see Xiao Huaijin's reaction.

Immediately, they all looked at their noses and noses, and even Zuo Du Yushi and Shen Chongmao, who had just spoken, also closed their mouths.

Emperor Yan Wen fell his gaze on Xiao Huaijin and asked with a smile, "I don't know what Huaijin thinks?"

Hearing this, the corners of Xiao Huaijin's mouth raised slightly and said respectfully: "The emperor gave marriage, Huai Jin was very happy, but the princess was golden and jade, Huai Jin was only afraid of the princess, and asked the emperor to choose another good fate for the princess, Huai Jin admired the county lord of Qinghe, and his heart was like a rock, if the woman next to him married Huai Jin, I was afraid that he would be wronged, Huai Jin implored the emperor to marry the county lord of Qinghe and Huai Jin." ”

Everyone couldn't help but gasp when they heard this, Xiao Huaijin refused the emperor's marriage for the second time.

Although the emperor did not directly refer to the marriage this time, the meaning is obvious.

Xiao Huaijin is tantamount to touching the emperor's scales this time.

Although Zhao Jinghe had already prepared in his heart, he couldn't help but be annoyed when he really listened to Xiao Huaijin's words, looking at Hua Zhen, he really couldn't figure out where she was better than herself, why did Xiao Huaijin care about her so much.

While looking at it, there was a little more anger in his eyes, how to look at it and hate.

Noticing Zhao Jinghe's gaze, Hua Zhen only glanced at it and didn't care.

Now her mind is on Emperor Yan Wen, the prince said those words in front of him, he must have been prepared, but I am afraid that what the emperor said today is just the beginning, and the real purpose is not here.

Worried in her heart, she heard Emperor Yan Wen speak with a smile, and her heart suddenly jumped with a sentence.

"Qinghe County Lord..."Emperor Yan Wen said and looked at Hua Zhen, the look in his eyes was very meaningful: "Zhen'er grew up under my watch, and she lived in the palace with the queen at the beginning, and she had no intention of having anything to do with my daughter. I also like it very much, and I even told the queen that I want to keep her by my side, so I set up a family affair for Zhen'er early, if Huai Jin likes Zhen'er, I'm afraid I will disappoint you. I plan to marry Zhen'er to the crown prince as a side concubine. ”

After Emperor Yan Wen finished speaking, the look in his eyes was very firm, as if he would not allow anyone to refuse.

looked at Xiao Huaijin: "Except for the princess and county lord who are here today, or the famous lady, as long as you look at it, I will give you the master, and give you the princess of Yanbei, Huaijin, you can choose yourself." ”

After speaking, he was very generous, and he didn't care at all, just now Xiao Huaijin refuted his face.

Everyone immediately looked at Xiao Huaijin and Hua Zhen.

This Yanbei prince likes the Qinghe county lord, the whole capital knows it, and now the emperor wants to marry the Qinghe county lord to the prince as a side concubine, and everyone wants to see what Xiao Huaijin is going to do.

The emperor gave him a marriage, and he could rely on his identity to resist disobedience, but the emperor gave him a marriage to Hua Zhen, even if he had any opinions, it would be useless.

Shen Yuxin didn't expect the emperor to have this thought, his fingers suddenly turned white, he looked at Hua Zhen, and his voice was a little cold: "You are so willing to be the prince's side concubine?"

Hua Zhen looked at Shen Yuxin when she heard this, seeing the nervousness in her eyes, the corners of her mouth raised slightly: "Whether you want it or not, it's my business, why is my cousin so nervous? ”

"I didn't mean that. Being said to be in his mind, Shen Yuxin suddenly became a little flustered, and his eyes fell on the wine glass in his hand.

Hua Zhen raised the corners of her mouth slightly, glanced at Xiao Huaijin, smiled at Xiao Huaijin, and then lowered her head.

Emperor Yan Wen seemed to be waiting for Xiao Huaijin's reaction, but seeing that Xiao Huaijin didn't seem to hear it, he immediately asked, "Huaijin understands." ”

Xiao Huaijin responded respectfully when he heard this: " Back to the emperor, Huai Jin heard it clearly, just now he was thinking about what the emperor said, just the princess of this Dayan and the famous lady of the county roughly thought about it, there is really no one who likes it, since the emperor can not marry the county lord of Qinghe and Huai Jin, then it may be that Huai Jin's fate does not have this blessing, it seems that if you want to find a person who is really happy in this life, I am afraid it will not be easy, that is the case, Huai Jin implore the emperor to take back his life, if he can't marry Hua Zhen as his wife in this life, Huai Jin is willing to die alone. ”

After saying that, he knelt on the ground.

Emperor Yan Wen looked at Xiao Huaijin like this, and the look in his eyes was very complicated.

Shen Chongmao immediately persuaded: "Xiao Shizi, don't say such things, after all, the marriage event is the words of the matchmaker of the parents, and this matter still needs to be discussed with the king of Yanbei." ”

As he spoke, he turned to look at Emperor Yan Wen: "Since the emperor Xiao Shizi has no thoughts today, let's take it slowly, after all, today is the emperor's birthday, and it is a matter of universal happiness, don't sweep away the emperor's interest." ”

Seeing that Shen Chongmao handed over a step, Emperor Yan Wen walked down: "What the Duke of Jin said is that don't disturb everyone's interest for these things today. Since Huai Jin doesn't have a woman in the picture, anyway, the days will be long in the future, and you will take a look in Beijing, if you fancy a daughter, or my princess, just tell me that I am the master to give you a marriage. ”

"As for Jinghe, she has reached the age when she should get married, and since I mentioned this matter today, I will make the decision, and it is a good thing to choose a colt for her here. As he spoke, his gaze began to wander among the crowd.

Seeing this, Shen Chongmao immediately smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this King of Yanbei has two sons, and the second son of Xiao is also here today, why doesn't the emperor invite the second son of Xiao to come forward." ”

Listening to Shen Chongmao's words, Emperor Yan Wen was stunned at first, and then thought: "What the Duke of Jin said is the right rule, I saw it yesterday, and it does look very similar to Changping." ”

said with a lot of emotion, and immediately ordered Xiao Zhengze to step forward.

Xiao Zhengze sat on Xiao Huaijin's left hand side, saw Emperor Yan Wen summoning him, stood up, and respectfully stepped forward to give Emperor Yan Wen a big salute.

Because Xiao Zhengze is the son of Princess Changping, the relationship between Xiao Huaijin and the emperor is more intimate than Xiao Huaijin, and the emperor's eyes are naturally different when he looks at him.

Seeing Xiao Zhengze kneeling on the ground, Emperor Yan Wen had a little more smile in his eyes, and seemed to be more and more happy the more he looked at it: "How old are you this year?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhengze responded respectfully: "Back to the emperor, Zhengze has just turned twenty this year." ”

"Have you ever been married?"

"Not yet. ”

Shen Chongmao saw the smile in the emperor's eyes, and immediately said with a smile: "The emperor's ministers look at Xiao Ergongzi as a good one, young and promising and unmarried, and his mother is Princess Changping. ”

Emperor Yan Wen thought for a while and didn't speak, and then looked at Zhao Jinghe for a long time: "What does Jinghe think?"

Zhao Jinghe saw Xiao Zhengze for the first time, and he was still a little apprehensive, but now that he saw him, he was even more happy in his heart.

My brother had a lot of good things to say to her, and she was willing to do so.

immediately lowered his head and looked shy and timid: "Everything is up to my father." ”

Emperor Yan Wen immediately laughed when he heard this, and joked quietly: "It seems that my daughter is eager to marry off immediately." ”

"Since this is the case, then I will make the decision, give Jinghe to Xiao Zhengze, and wait for Qin Tianjian to choose a good day and auspicious day, and then get married in Beijing, and then you will return to Yanbei together after the marriage. ”

Xiao Zhengze and Zhao Jinghe immediately knelt on the ground when they heard this: "The minister obeys the order." ”

"The retainers obeyed. ”

Emperor Yan Wen raised his hand with a smile, motioned for them to retreat first, and then looked at Xiao Huaijin: "At the beginning, I discussed with your father to marry your sister into Beijing, and now that your sister has also arrived in Beijing, I will take advantage of today to settle this family matter for her, I don't know what Huaijin wants." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Huaijin knelt on the ground respectfully: "This matter has long been decided by my father and the emperor, and my father also instructed Huaijin to let the emperor decide everything." ”

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll give Lingjun today, and also choose a family business. ”

Emperor Yan Wen said and looked at Xiao Lingjun, who sat with Princess Minmin according to his identity.

"Lingjun, you are the daughter of Changping, so you should also call me uncle, your family affair was made with me when your father entered Beijing, let me find a family affair in Beijing, since you are also in Beijing today, I should also fulfill my promise to your father. Today, I will let my uncle be the master of a family affair for you, although it is my decision, but I still want to ask you what you mean, you have been in Beijing for a long time, can there be a happy person in your heart?"

Emperor Yan Wen's words are just asking, Xiao Lingjun is a daughter after all, and it is not easy to learn from Xiao Huaijin.

He said this only for his own wisdom and generosity.

But he didn't expect Xiao Lingjun to listen to Emperor Yan Wen's words, his eyes immediately lit up, he looked back at Hua Zhen, and then plucked up the courage to say: "Your Majesty, Lingjun has a happy person in his heart, and he hopes that the emperor will give him a marriage." ”

Hearing Xiao Lingjun speak, Emperor Yan Wendi's brows furrowed slightly, but the smile on his face remained unchanged, and he asked, "Oh? I don't know who has such a blessing that can make Lingjun happy?"

"Qin Huai, the eldest prince of the Dongjun Palace. Xiao Lingjun mustered up the courage to say it.

After saying that, she only felt as if her heart was about to jump out, and even her face turned red.

Under the red clothes, it became more and more red, and it became a little shyness in the eyes of Emperor Yan Wen.

Emperor Yan Wen didn't expect that Xiao Lingjun had a crush on Qin Huai, and he was stunned for a moment, but he returned to normal in just a moment, looking at the surprise on Qin Guifei's face on the side, his eyes fell on Qin Huai.

Qin Huai immediately stood up: "Your Majesty, the minister is just a small supervisor, and he is really not worthy of Miss Xiao, please think twice." ”

Emperor Yan Wen saw that he hadn't opened his mouth yet, and Qin Huai was like this, and he was immediately a little displeased.

He had thought about it a long time ago, if he wanted Xiao Lingjun to come to Dayan in person, Qin Huai was indeed a suitable one.

After all, there is still the Dongjun Mansion behind Qin Huai, this is the queen mother's mother's family, and she will never betray herself.

It would be good if they restrained Yanbei, but what he really liked in his heart was Shen Songqiao, after all, compared to the king of Dongjun, he believed in Shen Chongmao the most.

Now seeing Qin Huai's refusal, Emperor Yan Wen immediately followed Qin Huai's words, looking very embarrassed.

Xiao Lingjun was still a little nervous when he saw this, but at this moment, he dissipated, looked at Qin Huai and asked regardless of everyone's gaze: "Is it because Hua Zhen that you rejected me like this?"
