Chapter 156: Marriage by Order
Concubine Li turned her head to look at Emperor Yuchen with a pleading gaze, but Emperor Yuchen looked blind, and turned her head to raise a glass with the queen. This made Concubine Li angry, but now there is no one to intercede for her.
Everyone present also had different expressions, Xia Liyan and Xia Yijie looked like they were waiting to see her kowtow, and the people of the Ling family seemed to be looking at the princess of Zhenguo, probably because of the relationship between Mo Kite.
Concubine Li gritted her teeth fiercely, slowly walked towards Ling Ruoxi, and was about to kneel, Ling Ruohui suddenly reached out to hold it, smiled at her, and then slowly spoke, "Concubine Li, it's just a joke between you and me, this palace won't really let you slap your own mouth, let alone let you kneel." β
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nod and praised the magnanimity of Princess Zhenguo and Concubine Li's aggressiveness. Ling Ruohui saw Concubine Li's intentions, and continued to speak: "Niangniang's illness is not a serious illness, if you can trust me, this palace will give you acupuncture once, and you can feel it right now." β
"Really? This palace just said that, don't you mind? β
"Of course I don't mind, doctors are meant to treat diseases and save people, and only patients choose doctors, so how can doctors choose patients."
Hearing this, King Qi's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly and looked at this side, this sentence is really familiar, Yi'er once said, could it be that he is crazy about lovesickness, and when he saw this princess of Zhenguo, he also thought that Yi'er was back? How is it possible, Remnant Feng saw the burial of Yi'er's body with his own eyes, if there is a similarity, it is probably because this princess once studied medical skills with Yi'er.
Ling Ruoyi had already noticed King Fang Caiqi's surprised eyes, but he didn't expect that he would sit there so quickly, pouring himself a drink, borrowing wine to drown his sorrows.
"Princess Zhenguo came from afar, and she once studied medicine under Doctor Ling, I don't know if the others can learn?" Concubine Zhen said defiantly.
"I don't know what else Concubine Zhen is referring to?"
"Doctor Ling once danced a dance on the birthday of the queen's mother, and as soon as he danced in the capital, Doctor Ling's talent is the first in Yunshang, I don't know how much the princess of Zhenguo has learned?"
"Since Concubine Zhen Niangniang wants to see the palace dance so much, then the palace will dance for everyone to see, if the dance is not good, look at Haihan."
Xia Liyan didn't expect Ling Ruoyi to actually fight, and her unkind eyes shot coldly at Concubine Zhen's seat, this woman was really annoying, she actually let the princess of her country dance for her to enjoy, and she didn't take Lixia Kingdom in her eyes as a part-time job.
"Imperial sister, we are guests, how can we take away the master's demeanor, when the palace was in Lixia, I also heard that Concubine Zhen Niangniang was loved by Emperor Yuchen because she imitated someone's dance, and she must be very similar to it." Xia Lixian joked.
"Yes, Brother Huang, if it is imitated, it is fine, if the imitation is not good, then wouldn't it be Dong Shi's imitation."
Hearing this, Ling Yunfei was choked into his nose with a smile just after taking the wine in his mouth, causing a violent cough.
"King Anjun, what do you mean by this, is this palace dancing very badly?" Concubine Zhen screamed.
"It's not bad, it's very bad." King Qi added lightly.
As soon as these words came out, it once again attracted a burst of ridicule, and Emperor Yuchen also glanced at the few people who sang and harmonized, could it be that his vision was very bad? However, it seems to be really bad, or very unlucky, so many people were eyeing Ling Ruohui at the beginning, King Qi, Xia Liyan, and Que Feiyang each launched their own offensive pursuits, and even King Rui, who was about to withdraw from the marriage, joined the ranks of suitors. As for himself, it seems that he is only moved, but he has no action.
"Yun Yuqi, why are you humiliating this palace so much." Concubine Zhen roared.
I only listened, and the wine glass was slammed on the ground with a snap, and Emperor Yuchen looked at Concubine Zhen with an unkind face and said: "Bastard thing, how can you call the prince's name directly, the rules of Yunshang Country, except for the queen, the other concubines have to salute when they see the prince, have you forgotten?" β
"Your Majesty, the concubines know that they are wrong." Concubine Zhen knew that Emperor Yuchen was really angry at this time, and if she didn't admit her mistake at this time, her future days would be worrying.
"Since you know that you are wrong, then pass on the decree of the mourning family, the concubine will be grounded for three months, fined for one year, copy the Buddhist scriptures every day during the confinement period, and meditate well, otherwise you will become more and more unaware of your identity."
None of the people present thought that this princess of Lixia Kingdom was so powerful that in a short period of time, she could actually make the Queen Mother, who had always ignored the affairs of the harem, open her mouth to punish Concubine Zhen, and Concubine Li's fake pregnancy incident also made Emperor Yuchen have a complaint against her. It's a really powerful character.
But who knows, behind the maintenance of Emperor Yuchen and the Queen Mother, it is because of the princess of Zhenguo, that is, Ling Ruohui, after she sacrificed her life to save King Qi, the Queen Mother was more grateful to her, and at the same time hoped that her youngest son would be happy in the future.
"Princess Zhenguo, Yunshang and Lixia have become in-laws, and your father and emperor have also come to repair the book, hoping that the princess can marry into the Yunshang royal family and let Yunshang and Lixia Wandai reconcile. Therefore, the mourning family hopes that the princess will deign to show your talents, so as to open the eyes of the prince. The Queen Mother said with a smile.
"Yes, Queen Mother. Please the emperor and the queen mother, wait a minute, I will go to change clothes. After finishing speaking, he slowly got up and saluted the three people with the most power and the most noble status on the first seat.
Suddenly, Ling Ruoyi walked into the garden in a light blue wide-sleeved dance dress, with a clear face and blue shirt, green silk and ink dyeing, and elegant clothes, like a fairy, like a fairy coming from a dream. Xia Li's funeral and stroked the qin, Xia Yijie played the flute, the two cooperated seamlessly, Ling Ruoyi danced slowly with the song "Chang'an Song", sometimes raised her wrists and lowered her eyebrows, sometimes lightly Shu Yun's hands, like a pen walking in the dragon painting Danqing, jade sleeves are windy, elegant and vigorous. The sound of music is clear in the ears, the jade finger is like a wonderful pen like a silk string, turning, throwing, opening, closing, twisting, round, curved, flowing water and clouds like a dragon flying like a phoenix dancing.
For a while, it was really dazzling, and even King Qi was stunned to look at the dancing woman in front of him, like, really like, this dance, this rhyme is already nine points similar to his Yi'er, but after all, he is not the person he loves the most.
After the dance, Ling Ruoyi saluted slowly, attracting a burst of applause and cheers. When Concubine Li, who was still arrogant just now, saw it, she had to admit that her dancing posture was indeed not as good as that of the princess of Zhenguo. Then he slowly spoke, "Princess Zhenguo's dancing posture is indeed extraordinary, compared with Ling Ruoyi that day, it is even better." β
"What kind of nonsense is my sister talking about, when I danced on the birthday of my sister in the palace, my sister had not yet entered the palace, how could I know how my dancing was going, and how could I compare the dancing of the princess of Zhenguo with that of Yi'er."
"Sister, although my sister doesn't have the blessing to see the dancing posture of the first beauty of Yunsheng, the dancing posture of this princess of Zhenguo is really extraordinary. The princes should show their housekeeping skills, and let the princess of Zhenguo choose her own concubine. Concubine Li covered her mouth and smiled.
What a hateful fellow, can you die if you don't speak? actually instigated other princes to pursue me like this, damn Concubine Li, it seems that I really can't give you face.
"What Concubine Li said is that the king of this county was also very fond of Ling Ruohui at the beginning, but helplessly, the beauty married far away and then died early, since the princess of Zhenguo can come to Yunshang, it means that this king is destined for her, maybe Miss Ling has a soul, so she sent the princess of Zhenguo to me." It was the first emperor's ninth son, Yun Yupeng, who was born not high because his biological mother was not high, so he never got the title, and Emperor Yuchen saw that he was already a weak crown year, so he was given the title of King Xuanjun, and he had no power in the court, just a nominal idle county king.
"King Xuanjun, you have to understand what is the order of the young and the old, this king is Prince Rui, and it is not your turn to speak here." Yun Yurui got up suddenly, glanced at King Xuanjun coldly, and said coldly.
"King Rui, what do you mean, the so-called fair lady, a gentleman. Since it is the princess of Zhenguo who chooses the concubine, she naturally chooses the person that the princess likes, why don't you let the king of this county choose. β
"You are helpless in the first pair of clouds and rivers, and the other is helpless in the achievements of the government, just a waste who only knows how to walk birds and listen to music every day, what qualifications do you have to marry a princess." King Rui sneered. The words were full of sarcasm.
Hearing this, King Xuanjun's face was red, and he couldn't refute the other party, because it was Prince Rui, his biological mother was a noble concubine, his mother's family was powerful, and King Rui also held military power, so he naturally couldn't afford to offend.
Raising his eyes, he happened to meet Ling Yunfei, who was drinking leisurely, and pointed in the direction of Ling Yunfei with his white hand and said, "Isn't King Anjun also a county king, didn't he also marry Princess Moyu?" β
Hearing King Xuanjun say this, the faces of everyone present instantly showed three black lines of different lengths, this King Xuanjun has a sick brain, the King of Anjun has military merits, and he saved the princess's life, the princess is willing to marry him, it is the princess who fell in love with the King of Anjun at first sight, this seems to be different from your situation.
"Hahaha, King Xuanjun, you are also worthy of being compared with King Anjun? He has military merits and has been given by the emperor, and Princess Mo Kite marries him, so he can naturally be clothed and fed. What about you? A waste who doesn't know anything, and still wants to marry the princess of Zhenguo? Aren't you afraid of starving the princess to death? King Rui said with a smile.
"King Rui, don't deceive people too much." King Xuanjun was also said to be angry, pointed at King Rui, and almost pounced.
"Don't quarrel with you, I have already decided, this time let King Qi marry the princess of Zhenguo." Emperor Yuchen looked at the stalemate and said sharply.
"Your Majesty, if your brother is not convinced, why did you only choose King Qi, just because he is your younger brother?" Rui Wang said coldly.
"King Rui, don't worry, listen to this palace to tell you, as we all know, His Royal Highness King Qi was seriously ill a few days ago, and it was my imperial sister who saved him with her heart's blood, even if it was to repay his kindness, Emperor Yuchen would give the best prince to Zhenguo to marry as a concubine, otherwise he would return the life of King Qi to Zhenguo, and Zhenguo would naturally return to China, and my father didn't want her to marry here." Xia Liyan said lightly.
"The best, how does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know that this king is not a good match for the princess."
"His Royal Highness King Rui has a history of abandoning his fiancΓ©e, this palace and his father are very mindful of your move, and King Qi has love in his heart, and can give everything for the person he loves, this palace believes that only such a man can give the royal sister happiness."
"You ......"
"Okay, don't quarrel, pass on my will, King Qi Yunyuqi and Princess Zhenguo are really a godsend, ten days later will be a good day for Shangji, at that time, Princess Zhenguo will marry from the palace, ten miles of red makeup, and marry into the palace of King Qi as the concubine of King Qi."
"Brother ......, brother ......" King Qi looked at Emperor Yuchen pleadingly, hoping that he could retract his will, but he didn't expect Emperor Yuchen to look at him and say: "Brother Wang, Princess Zhenguo has a life-saving grace for you, you must marry her." β
"Brother Huang, you know that Yi'er is dead, and my heart is also dead, why did you save me in the first place, otherwise this king would have given her his life back."
"King Qi, do you want to resist the decree? Don't say it, ten days later, the marriage will be completed. After finishing speaking, Emperor Yuchen shook his sleeves and sat down and stopped looking at King Qi.
"Brother, obey, thank you." King Qi knew that no matter what he said at this time, he could only let the civil and military officials see the jokes, and if he wanted to discuss, he could only wait for the banquet to be over, and with the love of the imperial brother for him, he would definitely withdraw his will, but he didn't expect that Emperor Yuchen wanted him to marry the princess of Zhenguo......
