Chapter 10: The Chosen One

After Empress Dowager Yan made a decision, she remembered that the emperor on the carved dragon throne in front of the palace.

At this time, Li Xiao's face was a little ugly, and he didn't want to solve the border problem of the Li nationality by marriage, but the Empress Dowager Yan and the ministers all agreed to the marriage, and the most disappointing thing for Li Xiao was Yang Meng. Yang Meng's concession made Li Xiao not have any confidence to persevere, leaving an empty cavity of enthusiasm and embarrassment that could not be discharged.

What is the significance of what the emperor has done?

"Emperor, what do you think of the decision of the mourning family?" Empress Dowager Yan slowly turned around, looked at Li Xiao on the carved dragon throne, and asked leisurely.

"Just follow the decision of the Queen Mother." Li Xiao said silently, what else is there to say, I feel like a tool or an ornament.

"Then let's stop waiting, let's go back to Fengyi Palace with the mourning family to screen suitable candidates." After the Empress Dowager Yan finished speaking, she put her head on Gonggong Rong's arm without looking back, and the corner of her eyes swept over the ministers in the hall and the emperor in the palace.

Empress Dowager Yan took the lead, Emperor Li Xiao followed, the ministers were huge, and a group of people walked towards Fengyi Palace.

Li Zhiyou saw from a distance that the lights in front of her were bright and long-lasting, which was really beautiful and magnificent, and hurriedly called Li Yao, who was still familiar with the surrounding environment, and the two enjoyed it together.

As the crowd in front of him got closer and closer, Li Yao felt more and more wrong, and this battle was like a group of ministers accompanying the chariots of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, slowly coming.

Li Yao didn't have time to explain, so he picked up Li Zhiyou and turned around and ran.

Strange to say, obviously he only walked once, and he couldn't count how many turns he had made and how many corridors he had passed, but Li Yao was able to return along the same path without difficulty. Li Zhiyou wondered in her heart while running, could it be that Li Yao has a special function of knowing the way?

Hurrying slowly, I finally rushed back to the banquet hall of Fengyi Palace before the Empress Dowager and the emperor's chariot arrived. The two of them rested at the door of the banquet hall for a while, and when their breath had calmed down, they bent over again and quietly returned to their seats, as if they had never left. Just the sweat oozing from their foreheads and their flushed faces after exercise can betray their whereabouts.

As soon as Li Yao picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, he heard Gonggong Rong's sharp voice outside: "The Queen Mother, the Emperor has arrived at ......."

Before he had time to chew carefully, Li Yao swallowed the meat in his mouth like a date, got up and waited for Empress Dowager Yan and the emperor to enter the palace.

After the two principals were seated, the ministers also found their seats one after another, and the banquet hall returned to quiet, and everyone looked up at the power holder in the palace.

Li Xiao was faint and quiet, and he didn't seem very happy to announce: "Regarding the invasion of the Li clan, I have just discussed the countermeasures in the Taiping Palace, and I am ready to screen out the people who will marry according to the conditions of all aspects among all of you. Among the princesses and ladies, has anyone recommended themselves to serve as this big man? ”

There was an uproar in the banquet hall, and the royal relatives and ministers were very surprised by this decision, and the emperor, who had just been full of anger, actually wanted to solve the border problem through marriage. Usually the women who marry will end up tragically, and no one wants to be a victim of that politics.

Looking at the current situation, if you can't choose a person to marry now, no one should want to leave this banquet. As a result, everyone's selection eyes are constantly wandering on other people's daughters.

This birthday banquet was vividly interpreted into a Hongmen banquet, how much the ladies present were looking forward to this banquet at the beginning, and how much they want to leave this banquet now.

However, now that everyone is here, there is no self-recommendation, so will anyone recommend it? Who will be the chosen one for this political marriage?

The ballroom fell silent again......

"Poof, ah......hh

The sound of an unexpected fall broke the silence of the crowd.

"Oh, this is Prime Minister Yan's daughter, right? Looks like a good fit. Dali Temple Qing Shangguan Qing said jokingly.

Yan Shuxi, who had just run back from outside and was about to get to her seat, accidentally tripped and fell to the ground because she ran too quickly or because of the problem of her long skirt reaching the ground.

"Suitable? What's suitable? Yan Shuxi, who got up from the ground, couldn't hide her disdain and arrogant look on her face.

"What a fit man to marry! I just don't know if Prime Minister Yan can give up his small family for everyone? Shangguan Qing looked at Prime Minister Yan Cheng, who was so angry that his face was flushed.

Yan Shuxi's current state is still a bit of a lady's appearance, the current situation, everyone wants to hide the school-age girl in their own family, but Yan Shuxi jumped out of this muzzle, and it is difficult for others to ignore it.

Prime Minister Yan also did not shy away from repaying Shangguan Qing's fierce eyes, everyone knows the deeds of these two people in various political discords above the court, and there is no need to avoid it.

"Lord Shangguan......" Chen Zongren interjected to relieve the siege when he saw the opportunity: "Yan Shuxi is the emperor's candidate for concubine, and Lord Shangguan's words are very disrespectful!" ”

"Oh, is it? When did it happen? Wechen didn't hear about it. Shangguan Qing opened his mouth in surprise, his eyes looked disdainful and disbelieving.

Prime Minister Yan and Chen Zongren looked at Shangguan Qing with a look of underbeating, and they hated him so much that if it weren't for the lobby, they really wanted to go up and punch him a few times.

"Lord Shangguan doesn't believe it? The list of concubines is already in the Queen Mother's Fengyi Palace. Chen Zongren waved his hands at Empress Dowager Yan, and glared at Shangguan Qing fiercely and said.

"It's true, the emperor has already reached the age of choosing a concubine, and he has always put state affairs first, and the mourning family is the queen mother, so he put this matter on the agenda, and Lord Shangguan has no objection, right?" Empress Dowager Yan glanced at Shangguan Qing and said.

"I don't dare, it's just a pity that such a suitable person is the case!" Shangguan Qing didn't seem to understand Empress Dowager Yan's dissatisfaction, and teased with a smile on his face.

"Maybe there's a better fit." Prince Shu, who had been silent for a long time, said without hurry.

Everyone's eyes instantly turned to King Shu, and they didn't want the more suitable person that Lord Shu said would not fall on their heads.

"The daughter of the famous King of Chu in the previous dynasty, the lord of Changle." King Shu's gaze turned to Li Yao's direction.

Li Yao never imagined that he and his sister, who were so low-key that they only wanted to eat, drink and have fun, would instantly become the focus of the banquet.

Oops, this group of people actually hit Li Zhiyou's idea!!

Li Zhiyou was suddenly mentioned, and it was a matter of marriage, so frightened that she didn't know how to reply for a while, and grabbed Li Yao's sleeve with trembling hands.

Li Yao pressed Zhiyou's trembling hand and comforted softly: "It's okay, don't worry, there is me." ”

"Is the county lord of Changle too young?" Shangguan Qing said leisurely.

"Now I'm just planning to marry the Li clan, and by the time I get married, maybe it's been a few years, why not?" Shu Wang Zhenzhen said eloquently, although he was unwilling to let Yan Shuxi marry the emperor, but the person to marry must not be her.

There was an uproar in the banquet hall, some people stretched out their heads and pointed, some nodded in praise, and some were silent.......

However, now that King Shu has recommended candidates, the other royal relatives and ministers almost applauded and agreed, what a good thing, and finally there is no need to worry about falling on his own family.

"The ministers think that King Shu's recommendation is right, this woman is the chosen one!" Chen Zongren faced the Empress Dowager Yan and the emperor in the palace, and said with a smile.
