Chapter 119: Refusal to marry in public
This song is the theme song of Sheng Zhiyao's favorite TV series in her previous life, and she always listens to it and hums along a few times in her spare time, so it is quite charming to sing.
Feng Yuanchen looked sideways at Sheng Zhiyao, his eyes were extremely gentle, this girl could always make him have inexplicable mood swings, just like the first time they met each other, it seemed that every time they could stir up a ripple, it was difficult to calm down for a long time.
After a song, everyone in the audience was still immersed in Sheng Zhiyao's singing.
"Okay, Lord Yongchen is really talented, today we are a feast for our ears, I remember this song." A Qi Qin minister said in admiration.
Sheng Zhiyao smiled: "Thank you for your compliments, I'm just singing casually, it's not worth mentioning, I hope you will forgive me." ”
"Haha, Lord Yongchen is humble, we were rude just now."
"Hahaha!" The crowd burst into laughter.
Sheng Zhiyao glanced at Feng Yuanchen, only to see Feng Yuanchen smiling at her gently, as if telling her not to be too modest, these words are the truth.
Zi Chu looked at Feng Yuanchen and Sheng Zhiyao's flirtatious appearance, and his heart suddenly burned with rage, and he couldn't wait to rush up and gouge out Sheng Zhiyao's eyes.
But she couldn't hold back her anger, she didn't want to lose her temper in front of the public, she took a deep breath and suppressed her anger, she didn't expect that Sheng Zhiyao would really be able to sing.
"The county lord sings this song really well, and we are all infected by this song." Zi Chu said, his gaze swept towards Sheng Zhiyao.
Sheng Zhiyao smiled: "The princess praised it. ”
Zi Chu said coldly: "The county master's singing skills are not weak, even I can't help but want to sing, how about we compete?" ”
Sheng Zhiyao glanced at Feng Yuanchen, and Feng Yuanchen smiled.
"The princess is gracious, it's just that Yongchen is indeed a little tired today, how about another day?"
Zi Chu's heart jumped when he heard this: "What? Is the county lord afraid of losing to me? ”
"That's not it, I just think the princess shouldn't be too anxious, let's get the business done first." Sheng Zhiyao said with a smile.
"Oh? I don't know what the county lord thinks is serious? ”
"Princess Zichu, as a princess of a country, haven't you ever done anything serious? Now it is my Shangzhou banquet, banqueting guests from all over the world, you are so blatantly provocative, regardless of the occasion, it is too rude. Sheng Zhiyao retorted with a smile.
Zi Chu's face stiffened, she didn't expect Sheng Zhiyao to bite back, she was so angry that her teeth itched, but she couldn't come up with a reason to refute Sheng Zhiyao's words.
The envoys of Xichu saw that their unruly princess was blocked speechless for the first time, and their hearts were also secretly cool, this princess Zichu relied on the emperor's favor, it was simply lawless, this time the emperor actually agreed to let Zichu come and kiss is also selfish.
Sheng Zhiyao continued: "Princess Zichu, you are here to be a friend, and you will also be the daughter-in-law of my Shang Zhou Dynasty in the future, it is really inappropriate for you to do this, you should learn to be virtuous and generous, so that you will be loved by your husbands, if you have been so willful, then you, the princess of Heqin, can only be a decoration, do you understand?" ”
When Zi Chu heard this, she was annoyed, this Sheng Zhiyao spoke too much, this dignified princess of Xichu, where does she need to come and kiss, it is not because of Feng Yuanchen, she has always been arrogant and indulgent, and she has never been scolded by others, Sheng Zhiyao actually dared to humiliate her so much, how could she swallow this breath?
She glanced at Feng Yuanchen, Feng Yuanchen was looking at Sheng Zhiyao with a smile, a doting look, a wave of anger suddenly surged in her heart, she was unwilling to retreat, she decided to ask Emperor Shangzhou for a marriage decree now, so that Feng Yuanchen could marry her, so that she could have the opportunity to humiliate Sheng Zhiyao.
"Your Majesty, forgive Zichu for being abrupt, in fact, I didn't mean to target the county lord, I just wanted to learn from her singing skills, not to make things difficult for the county lord, and I hope you don't mind." Zi Chu said with a smile.
Sheng Zhiyao glanced at Zi Chu, this woman was really cunning enough, she changed her face so quickly, and pretended to be pitiful to win the sympathy of Emperor Shang Zhou, she was really a scheming woman.
However, Sheng Zhiyao had already seen through her, so naturally she would not be deceived by her, she shook her head with a light smile, and said: "It's okay, it is appropriate for cultures of various countries to communicate with each other, you say, right?" Grandpa Huang. ”
"Of course, these things have been the case since ancient times, and our Shangzhou culture has a long history, and we also hope that everyone can get along in harmony." Emperor Shang Zhou said with a smile, looking at Sheng Zhiyao's gaze with a little kindness.
"Your Majesty, Zi Chu also thinks so, I hope Your Majesty will not misunderstand Zi Chu's good intentions, after all, this is related to the issue of diplomatic relations between our two countries, and it is also related to my marriage with Emperor Yuanchen's grandson, after all, if I marry into Shang Zhou, the Yongchen County Lord is my sister, and my sister-in-law will naturally have to take care of one or two." Zi Chu explained vaguely.
"So that's the case, Princess Xichu really fell in love with Feng Yuanchen." A Qi Qin envoy joked, this sentence caused a burst of laughter, and Zi Chu's face was blue and red.
"I thought that the county lord of Yongchen and the grandson of Emperor Yuanchen had a marriage contract, but it turned out that it was not."
"Your Majesty, since this is the case, our Qi Qin is also willing to marry, our Emperor His Majesty has a little prince who is only a few years older than the Yongchen County Lord, and the talented and female appearance is exactly the match, I don't know what Your Majesty wants?" Another Qi Qin envoy opened his mouth and asked, he was a heavyweight envoy of Qi Qin, and he was also the most valued courtier of the Qi Qin Emperor, and his influence in Qi Qin was not small.
"Oh?" Emperor Shang Zhou said in surprise, "I wonder if this prince also followed the envoy?" ”
"Your Majesty's expectation is good, the prince did travel, but he didn't come with us, and he didn't have time to attend the banquet today, and now the prince is in the post house." The envoy said with a smile.
When Feng Yuanchen heard this, what he was worried about finally happened.
Zi Chu also looked at Feng Yuanchen, seeing that he looked anxious, she was secretly happy, she wanted to see if you could protect Sheng Zhiyao.
She was about to open her mouth to mock, but Feng Yuanchen took the lead and said: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson is unwilling." ”
"Don't want to?" Emperor Shang Zhou was puzzled, "You don't want to?" ”
Feng Yuanchen nodded and said, "I really don't want to." ”
As soon as Feng Yuanchen's words came out, the envoys of Zi Chu and Xi Chu were all dumbfounded, they didn't expect Feng Yuanchen to refuse in front of so many people.
Emperor Shang Zhou's face was also not good-looking, and he asked in a deep voice, "Chen'er, what do you mean?" ”
Feng Yuanchen lowered his head and was silent for a long time before raising his head.
"Grandpa Huang, my grandson doesn't like Princess Zichu, please ask Your Majesty to withdraw your decision." Feng Yuanchen said in a firm tone.
When Zi Chu heard Feng Yuanchen's refusal to give marriage, her face suddenly darkened, she glared at Feng Yuanchen fiercely, her heart was angry, but she remained calm on the surface.
When Emperor Shang Zhou heard this, his face became even more gloomy.
"Are you trying to disobey?" Emperor Shang Zhou asked in a deep voice.
Feng Yuanchen bowed his head and was silent.
If he didn't speak, everyone took him by acquiescence.
This incident was indeed a surprise to everyone.
An unfavored imperial grandson finally relied on his own ability to obtain military merits to make people known, but he rejected the princess of Xichu, which is indeed too surprising.
This makes people wonder about the ability and background of Feng Yuanchen, a young man, is there someone behind him?
The emperor's gaze swirled around Feng Yuanchen, and a pair of eyes flashed with elite light, making it impossible to figure out what was going on in his heart.
Feng Yuanchen's move was undoubtedly a slap in the face of Xi Chu, making everyone feel that Shang Zhou was too bullying.
The envoys of Western Chu on the side were also a little dissatisfied.
"Emperor Yuanchen, I don't know why I don't want to marry our princess of Xichu, doesn't it embarrass us Xichu if you refuse in person? I don't think the emperor wants to see Shang Zhou humiliated. A Western Chu envoy stood up and snorted coldly.
Feng Yuanchen ignored him, he knew in his heart that the man wanted to use this method to force him to marry Zichu.
Zi Chu heard the conversation between the two of them, her face became even more ugly, she bit her lip tightly, and held back her anger to prevent herself from exploding, she knew that she had to be patient at this time, she had to be patient.
Zi Chu glanced at Feng Yuanchen and found that Feng Yuanchen was also looking at him, the eyes of the two collided together, and Zi Chu's heart beat wildly.
