King Wu smiled bitterly and said, "Are you making this king confident? It's easy to say, let's go to the palace! This king will definitely do his best!" "After so many years, his status is noble, the wind that wants the wind, and the rain that wants the rain, for the first time, he has a sense of powerlessness, and in the face of the girl who fell in love at first sight, he can't exert any strength at all, because things are not too under his control.

Everyone entered the palace and stepped into the hall of nourishing hearts.

The Palace of Nourishing Heart is the largest palace except for the Jinluan Palace, and it is a place for the Holy Lord to rest and recuperate, and it is rarely open to the public.

The exterior of the Palace of Nourishing Heart is lit up with lights, and there is a joyful atmosphere everywhere, which is a rare event in the past 20 years.

However, King Wu didn't bother to pay attention to this, he strode into the hall and walked directly towards the chief on the left.

It was the first time for Xie Tong and the others to come to such a splendid place, and this huge palace was much more majestic than the palaces in Chengdu and Yangzhou that Xie Tong had visited, after all, this was the only palace group in the world.

Huo Zixin was full of praise and said, "No wonder everyone is willing to be an emperor, living in this kind of place every day, really enjoying the glory and wealth of the world."

Yi Wudaunt said in a low voice, "What kind of place is this, the palace Ouchi, if you say the wrong thing, you will kill your head, if you want to fly with Wanru, it is best to close your mouth."

Wang Wanru nervously pulled Laho Zixin and motioned him not to speak.

Huo Zixin pursed his lips and continued to walk forward.

The specifications of this dinner are very high-end, I am afraid that it is rare in the world, the banquet is all powerful, ordinary princes and ministers are not invited, only people with royal blood are eligible to be invited, and the Sima family is obviously an exception.

King Wu's seat was the first seat on the left-hand side, and Xie Tong and the others didn't even have their own seats, so they could only sit in King Wu's side.

The chief on the opposite side was empty, obviously for Shi Jingjiao, and Sima Xuan's seat was next to Shi Jingjiao, and his family entered the banquet one after another, and he stood on three seats, which were spread out in turn, obviously attaching great importance to this matter.

Sima Xiangru talked and laughed freely, obviously confident.

As soon as Li Zheng sat down here, Tang Xizong and Shi Jingjiao came together.

Everyone knelt down to greet them, and it wasn't until Tang Xizong entered the table that Gonggong Tian said loudly, "Flat!"

Li Zheng looked directly at the opposite side, Shi Jianing was really in the ranks, she was wearing an extremely luxurious dress, which was even more beautiful than the one she was dressed in the post house, but she was just like him, her expression was not good, she always lowered her head, and she didn't notice herself.

Li Zheng wanted to come forward to say hello, but it was really not polite.

Everyone has arrived, and Tang Xizong said with a smile, "I haven't held a banquet of this scale for a long time, and every time I see everyone happy, I am deeply grateful." ”

Sima Xuan said, "This is all Your Majesty's good governance, and now that the thieves have been suppressed, and the four seas are peaceful, it is a harbinger of the coming of prosperity, and the old minister is also very happy."

This sycophant is very well shot, and Xie Tong admires it very much.

Tang Xizong smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, a toast to the upcoming peaceful and prosperous times." ”

Everyone raised their wine glasses at the same time and said, "My Emperor Shengming!" Drink it all down.

Tang Xizong stopped tasting it, he put down the wine glass, and said with a smile, "I think all Aiqing and all the princes know that this is a special dinner, and the country of Mu Wei wants to marry my Tang Dynasty, and now the princess of the country of Mu Wei has come, if the young handsome man can get the favor of the princess, I will give you a marriage!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, many princes were ready to move, although some of them were princes, but there were also a lot of concubines, and they had been valued, and their status was relatively low, and they may not be as good as the princes and ministers, this kind of marriage is an opportunity for them in life, they can get rid of today's predicament and leap into the sky.

Xie Tong was very puzzled by this, this is really too absurd, the marriage between the two countries could not be selected in advance, but it was really uncourteous to get this kind of public occasion, no wonder it was rumored that Tang Xizong was an extremely absurd person, as expected. This is tantamount to letting Princess Murowei choose at will, as if going to the glass factory to choose antiques, and seeing which one to want, these people are like goods, which is really degrading.

The scene was not as hot as expected, after all, this kind of marriage selection method is unheard of, and everyone doesn't know how to carry it out.

Li Zheng stared straight at Shi Jianing, and he also didn't know how to express it.

Shi Jingjiao smiled and said, "Jia Ning, the elites of the Tang Empire are here, you can see if there is anything you like! No matter who you choose, Your Majesty will give you a marriage!"

Shi Jianing was unmoved, she shook her head and didn't make a sound.

All eyes were on the brother and sister.

Shi Jianing said in a low voice, "Brother, you are in charge of Jianing!"

At this moment, Sima Xiangru stood up, walked to Shi Jingjiao's seat, and said with a smile, "I, Sima Xiangru, am the right general of the Tang Empire, if the princess is not suspicious, I am willing to tie the knot with the princess!"

Many princes booed, they saw Sima Xiangru come forward, they felt that they didn't have any courage from him, and their status was even worse, although they were of royal blood, but after all, they were concubines, and they couldn't compare with this powerful man who was in the sky, and no one thought that he would plan this matter.

Shi Jianing still lowered her head and didn't make a sound, what she was worried about finally happened, in fact, since she left the post house and was caught by her brother, she already knew this ending, which no one can change, as early as when she was in Mobei, she had already heard some things about the Central Plains, her father Khan and her eldest brother **** discussed the situation in the Central Plains, and they had also heard a little about the evaluation of the Sima family. The courtiers of the lord of high merit are the most disdainful on the grassland, which is also a reason why she is reluctant to marry Sima Xiangru, thinking of this, two lines of tears flowed.

Shi Jingjiao said happily, "It turned out to be General Sima, I have long heard of the general's name, and it is an honor for my sister to be favored by the general!

Shi Jianing stood up and said weakly, "Jianing has seen the general!"

Li Zheng couldn't sit still anymore, he couldn't watch happiness escape from his side, he stood up, strode to Shi Jianing, and said, "Little Khan, I am willing to marry the princess!"

Everyone was in an uproar, how noble King Wu's identity was, and he even joined the competition, some unwilling princes suddenly dispelled their extravagant expectations, and turned to look at the excitement, both of them are heavyweights, I don't know who the princess is!

Tang Xizong's face sank, he had warned Li Zheng before, but he didn't expect him to be so obsessed, yes, he snorted coldly, expressing his displeasure.

Sima Xiangru turned around and said to King Wu, "It turns out that the prince is also interested in the princess."

Li Zheng put away his decadent mentality, revealing his usual domineering, and said, "It's not intentional, but love"

Sima Xiangru couldn't understand the meaning of King Wu's words for a while, but he didn't dare to compete with King Wu.

Shi Jingjiao pretended to be flattered, and said, "It turned out to be King Wu, the minister was lucky, and Jia Ning hadn't seen the prince yet."

Shi Jianing was very familiar with this voice when she heard this, she raised her head slightly, saw Wu Wang Li Zheng, and exclaimed in surprise, "How could it be you?"

Li Zheng smiled and said, "This king promised the girl, naturally he will do his best to do it, but the girl did not wait for the return of this king."

Shi Jianing smiled shyly, showing a cute demeanor, and said, "How did I know that you were the prince!"

Sima Xiangru said unhappily: "The prince and the princess know each other?"

Li Zheng raised his voice and said, "There has been a one-sided relationship, what's the matter, does the general have an opinion?"

Sima Xiangru hated the tone of King Wu's speech very much, but he didn't dare to refute it, and said with a smile, "I don't know if the little khan has decided, this is a matter related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and I ask the little khan to think twice before acting." He directly turned the person into Shi Jingjing, without talking to the little princess, and at the same time increased the pressure on Shi Jingjian.

Everyone heard the smell of gunpowder in Sima Xiangru's words, this is the first time that the Sima family has competed with the children of the royal family on a formal occasion, which shows how quickly their power has expanded, but it is a pity that Tang Xizong's old eyes are dizzy, and he also treats the Sima family as a treasure, and does not realize the crisis.

Tang Xizong said, "Zheng'er, you must focus on the overall situation, don't lose your identity?" He directly warned King Wu, hoping that he would stop in moderation.

What Shi Jingjiao wants is this effect, the Sima family and the royal family are bound to be a lose-lose situation, for them, the more chaotic the Central Plains, the better, so that all ethnic groups in Mobei can take advantage of it. He smiled and said, "Lord Wang, General Sima, this is the lifelong event of the sister, the minister does not dare to call the shots, it is better for the sister to decide for herself!" He said this very cleverly, no matter who Shi Jianing chooses, neither side will blame Shi Jingjiao, in fact, when he heard the conversation between King Wu and Shi Jianing, he already knew that this matter was no longer up to him.

Xie Tong and the others were very anxious, but they couldn't help much after all?

Li Zheng's heart even raised his throat, and he looked at Shi Jianing motionlessly, waiting for her choice.

Shi Jianing smiled like a flower, looked at King Wu happily, and said, "Why did you come back so late yesterday, the tired girl fled in fear." ”

As soon as these words came out, Sima Xiangru's heart sank, knowing that the general trend had gone.

Li Zheng, the king of Wu, said cautiously, "Yesterday, General Xie and I went to the palace to meet my father, in order to let my father give us a marriage, but unfortunately something happened, and it was delayed for a long time, and when you came back, you had already left." ”

Huo Zixin couldn't control his mouth, and said loudly, "Princess, you don't know how hard the prince looked for you last night, and my legs were about to break when I was tired."

Wang Wanru twisted him fiercely, signaling him to pay attention to the occasion and not to talk nonsense.

But these words have reached the ears of everyone present, Shi Jianing smiled sweetly, and said, "I thought it was you bragging!" She suddenly walked out of her seat, avoided King Wu and Sima Xiangru, bowed to Emperor Wu Yingying, and said, "Your Majesty, Jia Ning is willing to marry King Wu as his wife, and ask Your Majesty to give her a marriage."

Wu Wang Li Zheng couldn't believe his ears, Shi Jianing actually chose him, he couldn't have dreamed of it, in the past two days, he had experienced a loss that he had never had in his life, but he didn't expect the ending to be so unexpected.

Sima Xiangru's face immediately turned dead gray, their long-planned plan finally failed, looking at Li Zheng with a face full of joy, he couldn't wait to punch it over.

Tang Xizong was quite embarrassed, since yesterday's meeting with Shi Jingjiao, the old minister Sima Xuan also looked for him, asked for marriage, and he agreed, but he didn't expect it to evolve into this situation, let him explain to this old minister, but the matter has come to this, both sides are willing to love me, and there is no way to return to the sky, he sighed and said, "Wang Er can think about it, after this engagement with Princess Murowei, there will be no possibility of repentance!" He warned again, hoping that Li Zheng would rein in the precipice.

Li Zheng also knelt down and said, "The son will never regret it, and I implore my father to give me a marriage."

Tang Xizong said helplessly, "That's it, I announced that I will marry Li Zheng, the king of Wu, and Shi Jianing, the princess of Murowei, and the two will tie the knot forever. ”

The marriage between King Wu and Princess Murowei soon spread throughout Chang'an City and became a hot spot for a while.

Xie Tong and others stayed in the post house with nothing to do, this big victory, more strengthened their confidence, since stepping into Chang'an, it can be described as a double happiness, first Xie Tong showed his might in the competition, with wisdom to obtain the holy marriage, marry Hong Shan, so that Sima Jinyu suffered, and then there was Wu King Li Zheng to defeat Sima Xiangru, the marriage room Princess Wei, their small group, continuously destroyed Sima Xuan's conspiracy, so that they were very happy.

Huo Zixin said depressedly, "Now Lao Tzu is going to be unlucky, he actually insulted the future princess as a pig, King Wu shouldn't retaliate against me!"

Cai Wei smiled and said, "Who told you that you can't control your mouth and talk nonsense everywhere, I think this is a crime that you deserve, and when the time comes, the princess will punish you for your sins and order someone to sew your mouth up!"

Huo Zixin said, "Wanru, why don't we leave Chang'an immediately!

The crowd burst out laughing, and it was indeed a rare pleasure.

At this moment, the doorman came to report that King Wu and Princess Murowei had arrived.

Lao Lai smiled and said, "It's really Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive, Huo Boy can't run if he wants to!"

Before he could enter the house, King Wu's hearty laughter had already come in, and he asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Everyone's eyes all looked at Huo Zixin, not knowing how to answer the prince.

Shi Jianing snorted coldly: "It must be that Brother Huo is talking nonsense again!"

Huo Zixin hurriedly said, "This big brother is still exempt! The next day, you became the princess, don't sew my mouth shut!"

The crowd burst into laughter again.

Yi Wudaunt asked, "I wonder when the prince will hold the wedding?"

King Wu put away his smile and said, "I'm afraid it's not as fast as you think, and the wedding will have to wait for a while?"

Huo Zixin asked, "Could it be that the Holy Lord has repented!"

Shi Jianing said angrily, "Close your crow's mouth, it is not a repentance from the saint, but according to the rules of our clan, you must first go to the desert to welcome your relatives, and then Jia Ning can return to Chang'an to hold a wedding, which will take at least two months, so there is no date set" (to be continued.) )
