The palace fell silent for a moment.
The wine glass in Emperor Xixuan's hand tilted slightly, and the wine in the glass almost poured out. Fortunately, Cao Zhi reminded him that he did not lose his temper.
Chu Qingyan was also stunned, because the result was very unexpected. She heard Xiao Yao next to her heaving a sigh of relief. Although her big ice cube was not selected, she felt relieved, but she faintly felt that something was wrong.
Maybe no one thought that Pang Zhijing's choice would be Xiao Hou.
A prince who is rumored to be sick and without real power.
After Pang Zhijing finished speaking, she didn't dare to look in Xiao Hou's direction, but stuck her neck and looked up at Emperor Xixuan's position, "Your Majesty, this is Zhijing's choice."
The envoys around her seemed to be taken aback by her temporary change of choice. Tori whispered anxiously, "Princess, what are you doing? Why is it different from what we planned?"
"If you say it, you can't take back the water you poured out." Pang Zhijing didn't answer his question directly, but showed a strange smile.
Since she intends to resist today, she must resist to the end. As the so-called "no breaking, no standing", she has no regrets.
The princess has already said that, even if Tori and the others are in a hurry, it is useless. From this, it can be seen that the princess is out of control, and they must communicate today's matter to His Royal Highness as soon as possible.
Pang Zhijing's choice of Xiao Hou surprised Emperor Xixuan, but to him, there was not much difference. He originally chose Xiao Yao, who was almost in the same status as Xiao Hou. He also considered Xiao Hou before. Just worrying about Xiao Hou's body, Nancang will not be satisfied. Now that it was proposed by Pang Zhijing, it would be better.
Emperor Xixuan said with a loud laugh, "Princess has a unique eye, this emperor, I am brilliant in writing, humorous and witty, a person who knows both cold and hot, and is the best choice for a quick son-in-law."
"Your Majesty is right. Although Hou'er is no longer around, the palace treats him like his own son. He is filial and polite. He is a rare child, and the princess has a lot of insight." As long as the princess doesn't choose Xu'er, anyone is fine.
Pang Zhijing had a shy look on her pale face.
After speaking here, Emperor Xixuan turned to look at Xiao Hou, who had been silent for a while. His tone became a little more serious, "Hou'er, the princess is very fond of you. How do you feel about this marriage?"
At this time, all talents turned their attention to the second most important protagonist in this matter.
The Yi Wang Xiao Hou, who was sitting in the corner without making a sound, no one would notice.
Emperor Xixuan's question made Pang Zhijing involuntarily clench the hem of her skirt. She didn't tell anyone about this decision. I think it's a huge blow to Xiao Hou now, and I don't know how he will respond.
She started to worry.
Will he refuse such a marriage
If she refuses, what should she do
Just when she was thinking wildly, Xiao Hou swayed and stood up, because he had been recovering from illness for many years and his body was weak, and he was a little weak in the eyes of everyone.
This appearance made the people present even more suspicious that the princess had a broken head, and instead of choosing so many excellent princes, she chose a sick one!
Xiao Hou didn't care about other people's eyes, he stood in the position, lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows, as always, he was indifferent to the world, his voice was gentle, and he seemed to have a faint smile when he spoke, "Thanks to the princess' love, son. The minister has no objection to this marriage."
There were several subordinates standing beside Xiao Hou, and when he heard that his master should accept this marriage, he was secretly anxious, but unfortunately he couldn't.
Only Xiao Hou, who was standing in the main hall, understood that when Pang Zhijing opened his mouth, no matter what his wishes were, he had no right to refuse, because in the eyes of the father, as long as it wasn't Xiao Xu and Xiao Ran, who would agree with him? This one can do it.
Therefore, he is a chess piece that the emperor can easily discard, and he is also a victim in the struggle for imperial power.
The gift of marriage this time has added a very big obstacle to his great career.
He leaned slightly and looked at the person who had never looked at him since he got married.
Unexpectedly, she will be the one who will eventually turn against him.
This little white rabbit who is usually a fox and a tiger!
When the marriage was decided, everyone was very happy, and people came over to congratulate them, and the scene suddenly became lively again.
It is very lively on the surface, but I don't know how many disputes are there under the water.
Empress Liang said to everyone in the hall in a good mood, "Tonight, this palace has also arranged a show to appreciate lotus and lanterns, and there will be palace attendants to lead the way. I hope everyone can return tonight!"
As soon as this arrangement was finished, the young boys and girls showed joyful expressions on their faces. All of them were of a fun age, and they were able to enjoy the tour in the company of so many people. That lotus pond.
Soon, there were palace people holding lanterns at the entrance of the hall. Those who wanted to stay to drink and eat food stayed, and those who wanted to leave to appreciate the lotus and lanterns left. All of a sudden, people came and went, handsome men and beauties, overwhelmed.
When Chu Qingyan was hesitating about what to do next, she saw Xiao Yao stand up and couldn't help asking, "Are you going to visit the lanterns too?"
"What's so beautiful about lanterns? If I like it, I can enjoy the flowers and see the lanterns every day!" Xiao Yao waved his hand with no interest at all.
"Then you are?" she asked suspiciously.
Xiao Yao smiled, "Of course he slipped away! If it wasn't for my father forcing me to show up, I wouldn't come. Since I don't have a share with my relatives, why would I stay here? When will I stay if I don't go now? Otherwise? Later, when the emperor thinks of me, I will not be able to leave!"
"Before you leave, you should send someone to tell the emperor." Xiao Xu reminded lightly.
Xiao Yao snorted lightly, but before he left, he lowered his voice and gloated, "I seem to be very upset when I see the third emperor, it's a bit like shooting myself in the foot, but I have a high opinion of this princess. Eye!"
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for everyone to react, patted his sleeves and walked away.
Chu Qingyan also noticed what Xiao Yao said, but what she cared more about was Pang Zhijing's performance. After deciding on the engagement, she was silent there, even smiling with a bit of reluctance.
I really don't know what happened after she left yesterday.
"Qingyan, what are you doing sitting there? Let's watch the flowers together!" Tang Lanhan pulled Jin Yueqing and waved to her from a distance. Before Chu Qingyan could respond, they had already disappeared.
She couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, she was really a group of energetic girls.
She also wanted to go out, but she didn't think Big Ice would like that kind of environment.
Suddenly, a large warm hand was covered on the back of her hand, and she turned to look.
"I'll take you to see the lanterns."
Xiao Xu was calm and gentle.
At this moment, she felt that the big ice cube was so tempting!
I want to throw down!
