In the past and present, He Yan saw Emperor Wenxuan for the first time.
Emperor Wenxuan has reached the age of knowing his destiny, but he looks younger than his own age. His face is ruddy and neat and clean. Although he wears a bright yellow dragon robe, he does not have the majesty and domineering that He Yan imagined. Even quite kind and kind, like the kind elders of ordinary people. He didn't put on airs either. When he arrived, he took a seat under the high seat, indicating that the officials did not need to be cautious.
Sitting next to Emperor Wenxuan was Empress Zhang. Empress Zhang and Emperor Wenxuan were married when they were young. They had a prominent family background. At first, they were made crown princesses by the former emperor. Empress Zhang had a son and a daughter, the current crown prince Guangyan and Princess Yuchan. Princess Yuchan has been married and has been unwell recently, so she did not come to the palace banquet today. Sitting at the head of Empress Zhang is Concubine Lan.
Concubine Lan was similar in age to Empress Zhang, and she was not as plump and plump as Empress Zhang.
The fifth prince, Guangji, was led by his mama and stood beside his two older brothers. His biological mother was Ni Guiren. Ni Guiren was very young, just as charming as a bone, with a domineering temperament. He was originally from a local small official family. The first daughter of the first draft came in, and after that, because she was pregnant with a dragon's fetus, she went uphill all the way. But Emperor Wenxuan thought she was arrogant and arrogant, and refused to promote her to the position of concubine again. In the past two years, Ni Guiren has become a lot more obedient.
The second prince and the third prince were originally twins. They were conceived by Emperor Wenxuan who was fortunate to be pregnant by a woman in a robe in the palace. Unfortunately, the birth of twins was difficult. .
Emperor Wenxuan's sons are not prosperous, the emperor's family, rich sons may not be a good thing sometimes, there is only one position, there are many people, it is inevitable that some people will not be reconciled to this, and have different opinions. Now the fifth prince Guangji is still young, and the only ones who can afford to sit in that position are the crown prince Guangyan and the fourth prince Guangshuo. Queen Zhang's family is powerful, and the crown prince is orthodox. It just so happens that Concubine Lan Gui does not fight or grab it. Originally, it is understandable that the throne should be inherited by the crown prince.
However, Prince Guangyan has no talent and no virtue. He has not made any achievements in political affairs in the past days. He has a mess in his house and usually only knows how to play. In contrast, the fourth prince Guangshuo has both ability and political integrity and outstanding talent. , and mild-mannered and clean.
The prince is so unbearable, and the fourth prince is so good, naturally some people are moved. And among the three thousand beauties in the harem, Emperor Wenxuan's favorite was Concubine Lan Gui. Although Concubine Lan did not fight, no one in the harem dared to despise her. Gradually, the forces in the DPRK gradually divided into two factions. One faction supported Guangyan, while the other tried to ask Emperor Wenxuan to replace Guangshuo as crown prince.
He Yan still remembers that when he was in Liangzhou, he heard someone vaguely say that the prince did not like Xiao Jue, and Xiao Jue led troops to Liangzhou Guard. In addition to avoiding Xu Jingfu's edge, His Royal Highness also played a part in it. share.
In other words, Xu Jingfu and Crown Prince Guangyan are very likely to be together.
She pondered in her heart, and her face remained calm.
The fifth prince, Guangji, was only five years old this year. Emperor Wenxuan thought that Ni Guiren was arrogant and arrogant, and he took the good child crookedly, so he gave it to Concubine Lan and asked Concubine Lan to raise him together. Ni Gui's popularity was fading, but there was nothing he could do. Guangji had been raised under Lan Guiren for a long time, and he was very close to Guangshuo. Sitting on the seat at the moment, he pulled Guang Shuo's sleeve and whispered, "Fourth brother, the father said today that there is a happy event to announce, what is it?"
Guang Shuo looked at him with a smile, "I don't know, I'll find out later."
Guang Yan, who heard their conversation, sneered, "Fourth brother, the royal father likes you so much, this palace thought you knew all the secrets. Why, didn't I tell you in advance this time?"
The Crown Prince's provocation lasted for three days, but Guang Shuo didn't take it to heart, his attitude was still gentle, "His Royal Highness is joking."
The undercurrents on their side are naturally seen by those with a heart. Emperor Wenxuan is getting older... Some things will come sooner or later.
He Yan was sitting on the men's seat. She sat closer to Lin Shuanghe and Xiao Jing, and was a little further away from Yan He. He Rufei sat further away, and she could even feel Xu Zhiheng scrutinizing her eyes secretly. He Yan also saw Chu Zhao. Chu Zhao did not greet her today. He still talked to people softly, but he treated He Yan like a stranger. He Yan didn't care about it. However, today's Chu Zhao seems to have Something strange.
Not long after the banquet started, Empress Zhang spoke. She said with a smile, "Today is a good day, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching. Ben Gong wants to take advantage of today to do a good deed."
The people below looked at each other in dismay, thinking about the previous battle between Rundu and Jiyang, and the great defeat of the Utuo people by Dawei. Today was a celebration banquet, but the protagonist Xiao Huaijin was not present. If you want to reward He Rufei, then He Rufei's performance in the Huayuan battle is really not outstanding. If you award a reward at this time, not only will it not make people feel honored, but it will be insulting.
"Shi Jinbo," Empress Zhang said with a smile, "the fourth son of the mansion, it's time to get a wife now."
Chu Linfeng was startled, stood up, and hurriedly said, "Exactly."
Chu Zhao also stood up along with him.
"Chu Zilan, Ben Gong knows that you and Pingting in Master Xu's mansion have been childhood sweethearts. Pingting was raised by Ben Gong, and Ben Gong also likes you as a child. The two of you look at it, really It’s a pair made in heaven and earth, and today, this palace will do this good deed, betroth Pingting to you, how about that?”
Xu Pingting was not at the banquet today, only Chu Zhao heard the words, knelt down and said, "Thank you for the empress's love, Wei Chen is very grateful."
Xu Jingfu also accepted the order with a smile, leaning over and thanking him.
The banquet suddenly became lively, and the people around began to thank Chu Linfeng and Xu Jingfu. Chu Linfeng is very proud. He has four sons, and the other three are average in appearance and talent, nothing special. Only this biological mother is a son from a small town. She is amazing and outstanding, and can make him and the Prime Minister become in-laws. If this is said, it can be regarded as a long face.
Chu Zhao also smiled and thanked him, but He Yan looked at the smile on his face and was really not happy. Although she didn't spend much time with Chu Zhao, and this person always had a smile on his face, but now even the fake smile was not as real as before.
"Poor," Lin Shuanghe murmured in a low voice, "At such a time, a sentence is fixed for a lifetime, which is different from a puppet."
He Yan turned his head to look at him, Lin Shuanghe knew he had lost his words, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Cough, Brother He, the Empress said that the two of them should be together as childhood sweethearts."
He Yan didn't say anything. Although the relationship between Chu Zhao and Xu Jingfu was a teacher and student, they often depended on Xu Jingfu to do things. Since he chose this path, he must pay for something, such as... freedom. Everyone has their own choices. She feels sympathy for Chu Zhao's situation, but isn't it Chu Zhao's own decision
Because of this happy event, the banquet was not as restrained as before, and it became lively. Seeing this, Emperor Wenxuan smiled and said, "Since this is the case, I will do a good deed today."
Everyone in the room was taken aback, what does this mean? Could it be another happy event? Could it be that they are going to witness two happy events today. Since the marriage was bestowed by Her Majesty and the Queen in person, it must not be a small person
Guang Ji's eyes lit up and he looked at Guang Shuo, "Fourth brother, who are you giving marriage to this time?"
The prince was also surprised that he knew about Xu Pingting and Chu Zilan. That girl Xu Pingting was born beautiful, and it was a pity for the prince, but he also knew that he already had a prince concubine, and Xu Jingfu would never let his daughter be a side concubine. As for Chu Zilan, he was also the person he needed to win over, so Xu Pingting could only make Chu Zilan cheap.
Now Emperor Wenxuan wants to confer marriage, but he has not heard the slightest bit of news.
"Where is He Yan of Liangzhouwei?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked. Lin Shuanghe looked at He Yan in surprise, "Why..."
He Yan was not worried at all, stood up, stepped forward generously, knelt down and kowtowed to Emperor Wenxuan, "He Yan, the grassman, kowtow to Your Majesty."
Emperor Wenxuan smiled and said, "You are Wu An Lang, whom I personally named, how can you say that you are a sloppy citizen."
He Yan said: "Wei Chen is guilty."
Xu Zhiheng and He Rufei in the banquet heard the name and looked at the boy in the hall at the same time. Yan He frowned and whispered to himself, "Which song is this singing?"
Chu Zhao secretly clenched the tea cup in his hand, while Shen Muxue, who was on the other side of the women's family, lowered his head with a gloomy expression.
Guangji asked, "Who is this brother?"
Guang Shuo shook his head, the name He Yan was too unfamiliar, and they had never met this young man. Only that "Wu'an Lang" still has some impression. It seems that he was Xiao Jue's subordinates who had made contributions together with Xiao Jue in Liangzhou Wei.
"I know that you have been to Jiyang and Rundu with General Feng Yun before, and you were there when Zida Muzi attacked Liangzhou Wei. The water battle in Jiyang and the defense of Rundu were all your ideas. It is not easy to be brave and resourceful at a young age, I thought that a Wu'an Lang would still wrong you, it would be better to give you the position of a marquis, and in the future, you will be the Marquis of Wu'an."
"This..." The courtiers looked at each other.
From an unknown boy to the title of Marquis, there is no big person behind him, what kind of spectacle is this? Even though it was General Feihong back then, there were still officials in the family. What is the origin of this kid, and he is so powerful in the first place
They didn't see the book, and naturally they didn't know how the book presented by Jiyang and the book presented by Rundu explained He Yan's key role in the battle in detail. Emperor Wenxuan is the person who likes talents the most, especially young talents. This will remind him of the geniuses in those poems. For geniuses, secular and rules are all constraints.
"Weichen, thank you Your Majesty Long En." He Yan leaned over and knelt down, and his heart was also calm.
"What kind of good luck did this kid take?" Yan He suffocated the tea in the teacup and said gloomily, "It rises faster than me."
Lin Shuanghe was sincerely happy for He Yan, and his face was about to rot away with a smile.
"Can't!"
At this moment, an abrupt voice came in, He Yan turned around, and an unfamiliar face appeared on the male family's banquet. He Yan had never seen this person before, he looked young, and he was wearing an official robe. There was a hint of impatience in the man's brows. Hou Wei, this kid is a liar, she is not a man at all, she is a woman!"
As if he didn't think this sentence was surprising enough, the man raised his hand and pulled out the wooden hairpin of He Yan's hair. Suddenly, a long head of hair flowed down, clearly the same eyebrows, but at this moment, As beautiful as a woman.
The young man knelt in the hall, his expression was very calm, and there was no panic at all. On the contrary, the crowd of onlookers, like boiling hot water, became noisy in an instant.
"What's the matter? Is it really a woman?"
"Didn't you say Liangzhou Wei? Are there women in Liangzhou Wei?"
"Whether it's a woman or not, this is the crime of deceiving the king!"
In the seat, Chu Zhao's eyes were fixed on the girl's back, and the hand hidden in his sleeve secretly clenched into a fist. Yan He couldn't hold back, stood up with a "ho" and shouted, "How is that possible?"
When Lin Shuanghe said the word "no", he had an ominous premonition in his heart, and when he said the word "woman", his eyes almost went dark. However, he still insisted. At this time, if he was not careful, he would be labeled as an accomplice of "crime of bullying the king". Lin Mu held his arm and signaled him not to move. Lin Shuanghe moved his lips, thinking quickly in his mind. , how to muddle through.
Are you insisting that it's just boys and girls? Impossible, at this point, the grandmother in the palace only needs to come over and check the truth. Simply saying that He Yan was out of his mind and misunderstood that he was a woman talking nonsense? This is also not right. It's really a bad brain, how can it deceive so many people.
He has always had a lot of crooked ideas. At this moment, he couldn't think of a solution, and he scratched his head in a hurry, not knowing what to do.
As for Xu Zhiheng and He Rufei, who were sitting on the long table, although they were sitting in different positions, when they saw this scene, they couldn't help being shocked and almost screamed.
Being called "He Yan" is accidental. Women disguise themselves as men, enter the military camp, get meritorious services, and even make them a marquis, one after another, how can they still be called "accidental"? If people have an afterlife, that should be the case.
Xu Zhiheng felt guilty and his body trembled. If Emperor Wenxuan and his party were not here, I'm afraid he would have fled immediately.
Who is this He Yan
No one expected to give the reward well, but when it came out suddenly, Emperor Wenxuan looked at He Yan, "Lang Wu An, what do you say?"
"Wei Chen is indeed a daughter," He Yan said, "His Majesty is very careful, but Wei Chen dare not hide it."
To admit it so frankly
The ministers were in an uproar.
Shen Muxue was sitting among the female servants, staring at the cup in front of her, as if she hadn't seen this farce, but when she looked closely, her fingertips were trembling slightly. Xia Chengxiu sat next to her and was a little surprised to see Shen Muxue like this, but didn't say anything.
Empress Zhang did not expect this, and her expression flashed a hint of surprise. But seeing Emperor Wenxuan, he didn't look angry, he just looked down at He Yan, and after a while, the voice of the emperor sounded in the hall.
"Actually, I have long known that Wu Anlang is a woman."
Shen Muxue raised her head suddenly, how is this possible
Lin Shuanghe was also stunned, and the courtiers were even more at a loss. After all these twists and turns, watching the play was not so exciting. First, the identity of Wu'anlang's woman was revealed, and now the emperor said that he knew that Wu'anlang was a woman for a long time? What the hell is going on here.
Chu Zhao frowned slightly, and suddenly looked at Xu Jingfu beside him. Xu Jingfu had a kind smile on his face, and he didn't look surprised. His thoughts flashed, and he seemed to catch a clue.
It was Empress Zhang who broke the silence, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this..."
The waiter outside said loudly, "General Feng Yun is here—"
He Yan's heart moved, why did Xiao Jue come? Didn't he go out of the city, won't he come today
Emperor Wenxuan laughed, "What's going on, let Xiao Aiqing speak for himself."
He Yan's heart trembled, it seemed... different from what she expected. Why did Xiao Jue get involved? She obviously didn't mention Xiao Jue at all... Why is the meaning of Emperor Wenxuan's words related to Xiao Jue
Someone entered the hall.
The young commander changed into a court dress embroidered with gold on a black background. Meifengyi was like a new willow in three springs, washing the wind before the wind. He was obviously a warrior fighting on the battlefield, but he didn't see the slightest bit of vulgarity.
Shen Muxue stared at Xiao Jue.
Xiao Jue walked to He Yan's side, leaned over and knelt down, and from the perspective of the officials, he and He Yan looked like young couples worshipping the new wedding side by side.
"Aiqing is at peace." Emperor Wenxuan glanced at He Yan, "Wu Anlang, get up too."
He Yan and Xiao Jue stood up.
Lin Shuanghe clenched the fan in his hand tightly, almost breaking it. He knew that since Xiao Jue appeared, he would definitely protect his shortcomings, but how could this make He Yan retreat.
"Miss He is Wei Chen's fiancée," he said, "because she was afraid of going to Liangzhou because of the impermanence of wars and unbearable separation, I brought her by my side. I just didn't expect that Miss He was smart and brave, and she could stand up as a woman. Not lost to the merits of men. Huai Jin did not dare to deceive His Majesty, long ago, he secretly reported the truth to the emperor."
Emperor Wenxuan laughed, as if he was amused by Xiao Jue, shook his head and sighed: "I always thought that Xiao Aiqing would never marry a wife in this life, but I didn't expect to see the day when the iron tree blooms, according to my opinion, In this world, there are not many men with deep roots like Xiao Aiqing."
He Yan was stunned when he secretly played Emperor Wen Xuan long ago, when did this happen? Why didn't she know that even though she was in the hall at the moment, she couldn't help but look at Xiao Jue, but the latter's expression was calm and she couldn't see the slightest clue.
At this moment, another woman's voice came in sharply, "Lie."
Shen Muxue sat on the banquet of women's family, looking at He Yan like a thorn, almost piercing He Yan's whole body. Her voice was no longer as gentle and gentle as before, like a pot of boiling water, both sharp and hoarse.
"When did Dudu Xiao have such a fiancee? Why don't we know?"
Everyone in Shuojing knew about Shen Muxue, but in retrospect, it was also true that when Xiao Jue had such a fiancée, there was no news at all.
Xiao Jue stared at her coldly.
Shen Muxue couldn't help fighting a cold war.
"She really isn't my fiancee."
He Yan was stunned, and the next moment, the young man's cold and deep voice sounded, with unquestionable affirmation.
"It's the scene in my eyes, the thing in my heart, and the person I like."
