At the front of the main hall, Xiao Ting nestled on the Ninth Prince's arm like a bird, swaying here and there, in a daze.
"..." Yuchi, who was sitting on the side, was heartbroken. Seeing this scene, he almost spit out the wine from his mouth. Miss Xiao Liu, is it because the Ninth Prince's arms are softer than the table's because of the intimate movements with you
Ninth Prince frowned invisibly, then raised his hand to take her head over and leaned on his waist.
Xiao Ting's butt moved back, rubbed against him again, and finally fell directly on his lap, curled up with her whole body, snuggling up to him like a kitten.
Now, let alone other people, even Yuchi Xinhan was dumbfounded.
Hey, Miss Six, what kind of place is this
You always fell asleep like this
Still leaning on the man, even though this man is your man
The Ninth Prince raised his eyes without changing his face, and glanced around, so the eyes that looked over quickly returned to the master, and he didn't dare to take another look here.
After this section, everyone in the entire empire knew that the relationship between the Ninth Prince and the Princess was not as they had guessed.
The Ninth Prince dotes on his little concubine very much.
Who was blind before and said that the Ninth Prince didn't care about Miss Xiao Liu? Who said that? Stand up, everyone will not beat her to death.
The one who was most angry was Yun Lanzhi. She was dressed in a pale pink palace dress, and she was sitting straight behind An Guogong. Her hair was like a waterfall, hanging down her waist. It was originally an extremely delicate makeup, but because of her malicious eyes at the moment, it was obviously out of place.
Behind her, Yun Xiyue raised her head slightly to look at her tightly clenched palms, and the clothes around her waist were almost wrinkled by her.
She leaned forward, pushed Yun Lanzhi, Yun Lanzhi woke up suddenly, turned her head and glared at her, "What are you doing?"
Yun Xiyue was not annoyed, she pointed at her palm with her mouth in her mouth, Yun Lanzhi's face changed slightly, but she recovered in an instant.
When she becomes the third concubine, she will make them look good.
In fact, it's not just her, there are several women sitting behind Prince Rui in another corner, the most eye-catching one is a woman in plain skirt.
Just like a pure lotus that emerges from the mud but is not stained, it is very different in this palace.
Some people are born with the desire to protect her. She is such a woman. Her charming watery eyes, coupled with her delicate but charming figure, have attracted the attention of many young men.
She is the Crown Princess Rui!
At this moment, her gaze also stayed on the Ninth Prince, but it was not as obvious as Yun Lanzhi, she just looked at him lightly, without seeing anyone else in her eyes.
"Hehe..." Beside her was Prince Rui's daughter, Princess Muyue, with wanton eyes and uninhibited sitting posture, making people feel that they are not easy to mess with.
And she gave a light laugh, and when Prince Rui Wang Shifei looked over, she showed a half-smile expression, leaned over, and whispered: "Sister-in-law, my brother is not dead yet!"
Princess Rui's eyes trembled, she lowered her head and lowered her eyes, she didn't speak and didn't look up again.
The performance in the main hall was still going on, but Xiao Ting fell into a deep sleep. In the end, even the emperor couldn't stand it any longer, and frequently signaled to the Ninth Prince.
But the Ninth Prince didn't have the slightest intention to get up and take Xiao Ting away, and stared squinting ahead, not knowing what he was looking at.
Or nothing at all.
Not long after, Hong Shao came back and answered, his voice trembling, "My lord, my lord, I can't find you."
Ninth Prince turned his eyes, "En?"
Hong Shao hastily told the story. Just now Xiao Ting asked Hong Shao to call Chu Yun, and she just said something casually, which she had long forgotten.
But Hong Shao went looking for Chu Yun seriously, but when he returned to Xiao Xin, he didn't find her.
So, she searched many places, but in the end she found nothing, so she came back to answer, scared out of her wits.
The Ninth Prince didn't say a word, he put Xiao Ting down, let her lie down, and said to Yuchi bitterly, "Take care of her."
After finishing speaking, she strode away, Hong Shao looked at this, and then at her master who was sleeping like a dead pig, feeling a little at a loss.
Yuchi waved at her heartbroken, "Don't stand there stupidly, you still don't think it's attractive!"
It was only then that Hong Shao realized that many dignitaries were looking at her, her legs softened and she knelt down with a plop, and moved her head down to Xiao Ting's side.
"What happened?"
Yuchi poked his chilling head over and asked her.
Scared Hong Shao jumped, lowered his head and replied: "Little Shizi is gone."
"What? You mean Xiaoyun is gone?" Yuchi Xinhan was also startled, he didn't pay attention when Hong Shao came over just now, and now he knows.
Coincidentally, the emperor sent someone to ask him, Yuchi Xinhan hurried over to answer, and then hurriedly left along the side hall.
Of course, these things are only noticed by a few people.
The main hall was still very lively, but the emperor's thoughts were not there, and he said to the empress dowager, "Queen mother, what do you think?"
The most noble people of the two empires were playing charades, and the others did not dare to speak. The queen tightly clenched the brocade handkerchief in her hand and looked at Concubine Shu.
But she was always indifferent, and looked down with admiring eyes.
The empress dowager nodded with a smile, "The emperor's gaze is naturally correct, but the official position of Xie Jiaerlang is indeed a bit low."
"Don't worry about this, Empress Dowager, I have already thought about it for him, just let him be the master of the three pavilions."
"Sange, it seems that the emperor really attaches great importance to him, and thinks he can be the successor of Elder Lin Ge?" Although the empress dowager was asking, her eyes became more and more satisfied.
"What the queen mother said is that naturally it still needs to be tempered." The emperor smiled cheerfully.
"Then follow the emperor's will!"
"Xuan, Xie Jingtian, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, listens to the order in front of the hall."
At the end of the song, the chief eunuch stood up in front of the bead curtain, swung his whisk, and let out a long yell.
This sound made everyone's breathing almost stop.
All eyes were on Xie Jingtian, a small official servant.
Xie Jingtian himself was also slightly taken aback, but he reacted instantly and walked out.
"Chen, thank Jingtian for listening to the order!"
Xiao Ting was woken up by the male duck's voice just now, she rubbed her head and was about to sit up.
Hong Shao was at the side, looked at her worriedly, and helped her to sit up, "Princess, are you okay, this servant just went out for a while, why are you drinking like this?"
Xiao Ting smiled foolishly at her and said, "It's delicious."
hehe…
"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's edict said: Three colors are 矞, and Hongxi gathers. Xie Jingtian, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, after the elder Lin Ge of the Three Dynasties, has been in office for three years, with great integrity, talents and virtues.
My youngest daughter, now fourteen, has both talent and appearance, respectful and stern, conferred the title of Yide by imperial concubine, elegant in conduct, and restrained in etiquette. The Queen Mother and I are very pleased to hear about it. Special gift to Xie Jingtian, Minister of Rites, allowed him to marry.
In addition, the minister of the Ministry of official affairs entered the three pavilions and remembered the regulations. The people are based on the fact that the prosperity of the country is related to the prosperity of the family. I hope that the two of you will be of one heart and one mind, and show respect to the country. Don't let me down, I admire this! "
Everyone was dumbfounded, no one expected such an ending, and those noble children were a little downcast at the moment.
And the one who was even more dumbfounded was Zhaohua himself.
"Congratulations princess, congratulations son-in-law!"
The collective congratulations finally awakened Zhaohua. She was about to speak when she was stopped by the nurse next to her, "Princess, princess, don't be impulsive."
"Let go of Bengong..." Zhaohua struggled and was about to step forward, so angry that he wanted to bite someone.
But these people seemed to have been prepared for a long time, one came up to cover her mouth, the other held her back, everyone looked at Xie Jingtian, and no one noticed anything strange for a while.
Just when Zhaohua was about to break free, suddenly, a cold voice sounded from the peaceful hall.
"Minister, I can't accept the order."
In one sentence, five small words were weighed down like a thousand catties, causing heavy waves in the hall, and then there was silence.
At this moment, the father-in-law who announced the decree had already walked down the steps holding the imperial decree in his hand, and stood in front of him with a smile on his face. The words of congratulations had already reached his lips, but before he could say them, he was blocked back.
He blushed so much that his neck was thick, and the smile on his face froze in an instant.
The slightly bent waist was neither raised nor bent, which was very embarrassing.
However, Xie Jingtian knelt there, with his hands hanging by his sides, showing a serious expression, and did not accept this great gift.
That's right, in the eyes of everyone, this is simply a good thing that falls from the sky. This is the mighty grace of the emperor, but he actually refused it directly.
On the other side, Xiao Ting's mind cleared up in an instant, and she turned around and asked Hong Shao, "That was the emperor giving the marriage just now, right?"
Red Spoon nodded.
"To Zhaohua?"
Hong Shao continued to nod, wondering what happened to her master
"And Xie Jingtian?"
Hong Shao nodded again, his heart skipped a beat, he remembered something that happened not long ago, and his heart skipped a beat.
Xiao Ting turned her head and let out a sigh of relief, it's okay, it's okay, Zhaohua likes Yuchi's chills, not Xie Jingtian.
If he really agreed, Zhaohua would still die of grief.
Seeing her let out a sigh of relief, a certain idea in Hong Shao's mind grew like crazy, and then looked around, and found that everyone's eyes were on that man, she quietly backed out from the side hall.
No, I have to hurry to find the prince. Her master can drive the empress dowager half to death if she doesn't drink alcohol. If she is drunk, she has to demolish the palace. She has to rush to rescue the soldiers.
"Quickly go to Yuchi and feel chilled."
After Xiao Ting finished giving her orders, she didn't hear an answer, and when she looked back, she couldn't see the red spoon. She muttered, "This girl hasn't practiced light kung fu, she's really fast."
On the other side, Xie Jingtian's words stirred up waves, and after a short period of calm, Zhaohua finally broke free from the people guarding her and went out in front of the crowd.
Standing next to Xie Jingtian, without even looking at him, he said, "I'm not willing either."
The emperor took a deep breath, his expression had changed a long time ago.
"Zhaohua, you step back first." The queen looked at the two most distinguished people, and could only make the situation less awkward.
But Zhaohua didn't give her any face, and said bluntly: "The emperor's grandmother, father, and son have said that they don't want to marry him."
The emperor finally calmed himself down, looked at Elder Lin Ge who was sitting on the other side, and saw that he was also blowing his beard and staring, wishing he could eat Xie Jingtian, and immediately understood that this was not what he meant.
"Are you disobeying the imperial decree?"
