"I am a descendant of the Yan family, Yan Xu. “

As the words sounded, the mask on the girl's face slowly took off, and for a moment, there was silence. All eyes were fixed on the girl's face, except for the beautiful woman who was holding the girl in her arms.

The eyes are deep, the face is like a peach blossom, the cinnabar on the forehead, the eyebrows are heroic, and the straight nose sets off the small mouth like a cherry underneath.

This eyebrow, this face, just like the person who appeared in the painting, is only eight years old, if she grows up, I am afraid that she will be the first beauty in these four countries.

Amazement, sluggishness, and jealousy, these three emotions manifested themselves on the faces of different people in the court.

Exactly the same, just the same. Yanzi's father-in-law couldn't help but sigh, this appearance is exactly the same as Yan Xiang and even the head of the family in Yan's painting, who else can question it?

After a long while, Long Xiang's voice sounded in a low voice. He glanced at the court with a normal face, and said, "Who else? wants to question? Elder Wang? Why don't you say something? Master Chen? What else do you want to say? Do you need people to recognize this girl's appearance, is it true or false?"

Long Xiang may be the first person to react in this court. It's not that he doesn't marvel at the beauty of this girl, he is amazed, even amazing, but in his eyes, this girl is still a child, besides, there are some concerns in his heart, so he is not addicted.

"This. Wang Cen lowered his head, but he had nothing to say.

Lord Chen, who was named by the emperor, also lowered his head, he looked at several ministers next to him, shook his head, and quietly took a step back.

Wang Cen is also a person who has seen the world, and most importantly, he knows how to measure.

Originally, they had planned it. No matter what this girl looks like, as long as everyone unanimously denies it, they don't admit it. But although the pressure imposed on the girl made the girl take off the mask on her face, this appearance was unexpectedly exactly the same as the head of the Yan family in the mural above her head. The heroism on his eyebrows and eyes is even more like the head of the Yan family than Yan Xianglai.

That's it, and she wins. Because no matter how many of your people deny it, they will only bring humiliation on themselves and provoke a fishy atmosphere. It's better to push the boat down the river and admit it.

Thinking of this, Wang Cen said generously: "It's the ministers who are abrupt, please ask the Yan wizard and the emperor to be considerate, and the ministers are eager to protect the peace." “

"Yes, please emperor, the witch envoy forgives the sins. The courtiers who had been coaxing with him also followed Wang Cen and bowed together.

Long Xiang snorted coldly, this old fox, but he could only say gently: "Wang Lao is naturally for peace, this is written down, since Wang Lao has also confirmed, then the ceremony continues, Wang Lao, no opinion." “

"Minister, don't dare. After Wang Cen bowed again, he took the courtiers behind him, took a few steps back, retreated into the ranks, and bowed his head.

Father-in-law Yanzi smiled and shouted loudly, "The ceremony continues, play music." “

The band picked up their instruments one after another, and all of a sudden, the entire Taiping Hall was once again enveloped in the sound of music, and all the ceremonies continued as usual.

Wang Jue behind him saw that the position of the queen he was about to get flew away again, and he was naturally unhappy, and he disliked his cousin

How could someone look exactly like the one on the mural? I already decided in my heart that my cousin didn't do his best. Thinking in my heart, it seems that I can only think of a way by myself.

Accompanied by music, Wang Jue stood at the forefront, looking up at the emperor and queen on the seven steps. The current father-in-law of Yanzi is announcing the names and titles of twelve people. Although standing in the first place, the concubine is not what Wang Jue wants, although you are the head of the concubine.

What I want is the position of the emperor.

After the wedding ceremony, the whole country celebrated. Until the night, the Taiping Hall is full of singing and dancing, and the banquet continues.

Of course, after the emperor left, this banquet was voluntary, and most of the courtiers also returned home. Because tomorrow, a ceremony will be held in the Temple of Worship, a grand ceremony belonging to the Taiping Emperor, at the ceremony, the witch envoy of the Yan clan will dance the dance of the Mandate of Heaven, ushering in a new Taiping, a new year.

Wang fu

Wang Cen did not sleep, but stood in the study, and the light in the study shone brightly on Wang Cen's figure.

Now that night is falling, the day's rituals are exhausting. Besides, there was no one else in the study, what was he thinking about alone?

At this time, an attendant knocked on the door and said to Wang Cen, "Miss is here." “

Wang Cen didn't seem surprised and nodded. Then, I saw a girl wearing a black cloak walking in, this girl was Wang Jue.

Wang Jue pouted, she took off her all-black cloak, changed into an ordinary palace maid's costume on her body, and sat unceremoniously on the chair in the study.

Wang Cen looked Wang Jue up and down, and said with a little reproach: "Why did you come out? I just sealed the concubine today, and I ran out at night, so that people know how bad the impact is." “

Wang Jue shrugged his shoulders and said, "Uncle Cousin, don't worry. In the palace, you don't have all the arrangements, they are all your own people, and today's banquet in the Taiping Palace, there is no curfew, it is very convenient to come out, just follow which minister. Moreover, the palaces of the concubines are very remote, and not many people pay attention to them. “

Wang Cen sighed. Wang Jue is the daughter of her cousin, and she will choose her, just because of her appearance, she can be comparable to Wang Yi back then, and she also has the beauty that Wang Yin, a lady, does not have.

So he brought it into the palace since he was a child, focusing on training. Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it can be said that he is proficient in everything. For this niece, she is also very proud, but although it is good, perhaps because of the pride brought to her by her beauty since she was a child, she has such a problem of not admitting defeat and not thinking comprehensively enough.

Wang Cen opened his mouth and said: "I know, you blame your cousin why you didn't pull that Yan Xu down from the emperor today." Wang Cen sat behind the desk, he knew this Wang Jue who had grown up with him since he was a child, and naturally understood that she ventured out of the palace today, mostly for this matter.

"Of course, I know my cousin's difficulties. Wang Jue still pouted, although he still said that he understood, but what he showed on his face was not like this.

Wang Cen smiled and opened his eyes and said: "This Yan Xu is indeed beyond our expectations, we thought before, as long as there is a strong denial above the court, the emperor has no choice." Unexpectedly, this Yan Xu looks almost exactly the same as the head of the Yan family, if we deny it again, under the pretext that she is not a descendant of the Yan family, it is really unreasonable. “

Wang Jue's eyes rolled, as if he remembered something, and said: "But, doesn't it mean that the witch envoy of Taiping can't marry the emperor? Otherwise, it will bring disaster to the country and the people? I have also heard that the first emperor Long Xian did not love the descendants of the Yan family at night, but it was for this reason that he did not marry?"

"Yes, that's why I've been talking about the power of the first emperor. I didn't figure this out until recently. Since the destruction of the Yan clan, the first emperor has been playing a big game of chess. Including the rebellion of Wang Ge Lao, it was all expected by the first emperor. “

"Wang Ge Lao rebelled, wasn't it because my cousin took refuge in the first emperor, so he pretended to be an internal response, and the peace was preserved?" Wang Jue couldn't understand even more. Now Taiping's statement is like this, but thanks to Wang Cen, Wang Ge Lao and Xixuan's rebellion to besiege Taiping's residence can be broken.

Wang Cen didn't speak, because only he, the first emperor, and the current emperor, Yanzi Gonggong, knew about this matter. In fact, Wang Cen didn't do anything back then.

But Wang Cen was also glad that he chose the right path at that time.
