Jing Yi didn't know what the sudden appearance of Tuoba Shao meant, but when she thought of Emperor Yongye's words, she felt mixed feelings in her heart. After hearing the news of Chen Ziming's refusal to marry that day, her heart has been filled with sadness to this day.
She also knew that Daxin's marriage with Xiyuan should have been made by her, but Emperor Yongye wanted to tie Chen Ziming by himself.
Bind him? The man who should be so clear, the man who shouldn't be floating in this court, the man whose eyes are more tender when she finds looking at Su Yunchu... that's all.
Jing Yiwu was thinking here, but on the other side, he was originally looking for An An, but he found An An, and An An ran away and disappeared. Youluo had to follow behind and walked back by himself. Knowing that An An ran back to find Su Yunchu, she didn't worry too much.
Looking at the palace compound, maybe in the future, it will become something from strange to familiar in her life, and there is not much special expression on her face.
He took a deep breath, and walked towards the river, but just when he raised his eyes, he saw the figure of a man in Tsing Yi. He looked a little thin, and he was dressed in a rich and noble manner. If such a man appeared in the imperial garden, it should be the same. The concubine's son, she didn't want to go any further, but when she turned around and was about to leave, she accidentally found an angle and saw the man's side face.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but after this look, Youluo's eyes can't be moved away anymore, that figure from the back in Tsing Yi, that side face, are all too familiar to him, even after two years, Youluo Luo still remembers very clearly in her heart that not long ago, she dreamed of him, dreaming of him telling herself to live happily.
You Luo stared at that figure obsessively, the figure standing alone on the bank of the river, the figure was as thin as the person in memory, clear and clear as the figure in memory, even the line of the side face was exactly the same.
Her footsteps seemed uncontrollable, and she slowly approached him, without even realizing that she was already teary-eyed.
Today is the day to entertain Xi Yuan. Although Murong Yuan is not in good health, he will not participate in the affairs of the court, but he has to come out on such an occasion, so he came to the palace. Since he does not participate in the affairs of the court, he naturally will not go to the court. In the study room, he participated in the Xiyuan and Daxin alliance, so he came to Empress Chu's bedroom, but Empress Chu needed to receive a lot of guests, so he only said a few words to Empress Chu, and then came out. For this imperial garden, I feel that although it is winter at this time, the scene that the lake is about to freeze but not yet frozen is not bad. In addition, here is also a distance from the center of the imperial garden, so there is not much Gu Ji stood here to enjoy the scenery.
However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a sight closely connected to him from the side, so he also turned his head to look, but what he didn't want to see was a girl with teary eyes.
At the moment when Murong Yuan turned around and looked at it, the tears in You Luo's eyes finally fell completely, that face was indeed Si Kong's face, with exactly the same eyebrows and the same corners of the lips, that was the expression on his face at this moment It is exactly the same as Sikong when he was lost in thought.
Although Murong Yuan has never seen You Luo before, but looking at You Luo's outfit which is different from that of a Daxin girl, and it is also considered luxurious, plus today's day, he also understands that this is probably Yu Luo who came from Xiyuan princess.
Just looking at You Luo's expression looking at him, and the tears on his face, he was very puzzled, "Princess You Luo?"
The sound of this exit finally made You Luo, who was caught in the memories of Sikong, suddenly wake up. This person has a face like Sikong, but this kind of voice is not Sikong's voice. Sikong's voice is still clear and clear, always carrying It is full of vitality and happiness, but this man's voice is soft, so light, so shallow.
Realizing her gaffe, You Luo hurriedly raised her hand to wipe away her tears, "Who are you?"
Seeing You Luo's sudden change, Murong Yuan was puzzled, but since the other party was a woman, it was inconvenient for him to ask, "This king is Yuan Wang."
You Luo knew that King Yuan was Daxin's eldest son.
Immediately, he quickly returned a Daxin etiquette, "His Royal Highness Yuan Wang."
But her voice was obviously choked, and even the way she looked at him was unusual. At this moment, Murong Yuan didn't want to pay attention to it, so he couldn't do it anymore, and said softly, "Princess, this is?"
The leisurely voice was still choked with sobs, "Brother Sikong?" There was a hope in her heart that she knew was impossible.
Hearing this, King Yuan frowned, looking at You Luo's teary eyes again, he didn't know why, "Princess?"
The leisurely tears could not be stopped, so he could only cover his lips, listening to the strange princess shouted by King Yuan, took a step back, turned around and left quickly.
King Yuan still had a puzzled look on his face, looking at You Luo's back who turned and walked away quickly, so helpless and thin, seemed to be carrying a lot of sadness, he didn't understand why this woman reacted so strongly when she saw her, And that "Brother Sikong" that she called out, Sikong? A name that seems to have been heard before.
King Yuan didn't think much about it, but for some reason, seeing You Luo's leaving back, he felt stuffy in his heart.
However, it was just a feeling of depression in his heart, he had already passed the age at which a woman could be identified at a glance, shook his head slightly, and left here.
However, Youluo ran away for a few steps, and finally stopped. She didn't know how she got here. This place is far away from the center of the imperial garden, and there are almost no palace people. She couldn't stand it anymore, and just squatted in the On the ground, buried his head between his knees.
That man who is Sikong but not Sikong is Daxin's Yuan Wang.
When Yu Luo returned to the imperial garden again, there was nothing wrong with it except that her eyes were still a little red. However, Tuoba Shao, who was still in the imperial garden, saw Yu Luo's appearance and knew that Yu Luo Luo was in a bad mood just now, so he could only step forward, "You Luo, what's wrong?"
Seeing Tuoba Shao, You Luo became weak again in front of her own brother, "Brother, I saw Sikong."
Tuoba Shao frowned, "Don't talk nonsense, how did you see Sikong?"
Saying so, You Luo's eye circles turned red, "Brother, have you seen Daxin's King Yuan? He looks exactly like Sikong!"
Tuoba Shao frowned. The Daxin Yuan Wang, to put it bluntly, is a sick man who lives in seclusion and basically never appears in anyone's sight, nor is he noticed by anyone, but in fact , this kind of talent is the most tolerated, no matter who the princes are in the end, Murong Yuan will not be affected, and he was once Murong Yuan, the candidate Tuoba Shao wanted to consider was only because of his body ... In the past few days since Daxin came, everything was discussed with Murong Zhi and Emperor Yongye, and indeed he had never met such a person as King Yuan.
"How did you meet King Yuan?"
Tuoba Shao didn't want his sister to be trapped in the memories of Sikong forever.
"Brother, at the palace banquet, if you saw him, you would realize how similar he is to Sikong, but I know that he is not brother Sikong, he is the Daxin Yuan King."
Hearing You Luo's words so clearly, Tuoba Shao also understood that You Luo knew well that even if they looked similar, they would not be confused.
Sighing slightly, Tuoba Shao patted her on the back, "You Luo, it's time for you to put Sikong down."
"I thought I could let go, brother, but after I met King Yuan, I realized that I still can't let go." You Luo said a little desperately, but also a little helpless.
He only sighed lightly, Tuoba Shao didn't know what to say, he naturally knew how important Sikong was to Youluo.
Yuan Wang? Seeing You Luo like this, Tuoba Shao sighed slightly in his heart, let's wait for him to read it later, he never thought that King Yuan, who was never well-known in Daxin, had the exact same face as Sikong.
The banquet at the Royal Garden is still going on, and the palace banquet will start later, but, with an exclamation, "Little grandson!"
Tuoba Shao's heart tightened, and he went towards the source of the sound. Listening to the sound, You Luo also stopped all the sadness, and went with Tuoba Shao.
An An is not far away from them, just a few steps away, but because of the cover of flowers and trees in the imperial garden, and Tuoba Shao comforting You Luo, An An's disappearance is not too far away. Attracting their attention, they turned around a flower garden and saw people gathered together, and Su Yunchu had already appeared beside An An earlier.
It turned out that An An, who was originally with Tuoba Shao, saw Liu Ruxu on the other side. Because Liu Ruxu had a bad attitude towards Su Yunchu before, he had always disliked this woman, and even more so when he saw Liu Ruxu behind her. Biting back, she refused to admit that she bullied Su Yunchu. Of course, in An An's view, it was Liu Ruxu who was bullying Su Yunchu, so she was always aggrieved. Therefore, when she saw Liu Ruxu appearing on the other side of the flower garden, she wanted to appear. , frightened her, but Liu Ruxu was indeed frightened by this fright, but after being frightened, thinking about what she was doing before, she became even more annoyed, especially when she saw that An An was still moving towards her. Sticking out his tongue, feeling guilty and flustered, he only shouted angrily, "What are you doing!"
An An was naughty at the time, and when Liu Ruxu yelled at her, she continued to grimace, "You're a bad guy!"
But Liu Ruxu was angry at the moment, so she didn't think much about it, she just wanted to teach An An a lesson, and without thinking much, she pushed An An hard, but she didn't want to. Something happened, An Anben was standing by the flowerbed, because he was caught by the flowers and had no time to slip away, he was pushed by Liu Ruxu and fell to the ground. As for the accident, but unfortunately, Liu Ruxu forgot what she was doing here before.
Therefore, following An An's fall, someone had already discovered the strangeness here, and immediately called out the sound. Su Yunchu and Murong Yuan had just returned here, and when they heard the sound, they hurried over to have a look, while Tuoba Shao Also hurry over to have a look.
An An, who was just lying on the ground, was breathing rapidly, which was obviously a symptom of a heart attack.
Su Yunchu naturally knew that before he had time to pay attention to what happened before, he quickly took out the silver needle from the pearl hairpin on his head, and quickly rescued An An. On the other hand, he also took out the pill from his sleeve and gave it to An An. Down.
Although it was not aimed at An An's illness, it was somewhat relieved.
At this time, Murong Yuan, of course, didn't care about An An's excessive intimacy with Su Yunchu. When Tuoba Shao rushed over, he only saw that Su Yunchu was already helping An An. Misfortune, at this moment, I had no choice but to stand aside, having already forgotten what to do.
Su Yunchu gave An An a simple rescue, and said to Tuoba, "Where is An An's pill?"
After listening leisurely, he quickly took out a bottle of pills from his sleeve, and Su Yunchu immediately gave An An to take it. Afterwards, although An An's original symptoms disappeared, she also fell into a deep sleep and coma.
This can be regarded as safe and sound.
An An was put into You Luo's arms, but after glancing at Liu Ruxu who was at a loss, she asked in a cold voice, "What is Miss Liu doing?"
On the other side, Murong Zhi rushed over when he heard the commotion here. Seeing Liu Ruxu surrounded by a group of people, he also frowned, "What happened?"
Su Yunchu didn't say much, this matter should naturally be resolved by Tuoba Shao.
Tuoba Shao's voice turned cold, "I don't know what Miss Liu wants to do to this king's son?"
Murong Zhi glanced at An An who was in You Luo's arms, and then at Liu Ruxu beside him, "What's going on?"
Seeing such a scene, Liu Ruxu lost his composure, "Wang Zhi, it's the little emperor's grandson who wanted to scare me, I accidentally..."
Hearing Liu Ruxu's words, Murong Zhi frowned even more. Liu Ruxu, an idiot, would she care so much about a child at such a time
However, for the alliance between the two countries to cooperate successfully. Glancing at An An again, Murong Zhi still said, "Since the little emperor's grandson is fine now, why don't the crown prince turn hostility into jade?"
Tuoba Shao snorted coldly, "His Royal Highness Zhi Wang said it nicely, I'm afraid I can't bear such a vicious daughter!"
Tuoba Shao gave Liu Ruxu such an insulting conclusion in public, which would definitely make Liu Ruxu feel extremely humiliated, but at this moment, she didn't want to resist, she just wanted to let the matter pass quickly, don't go any further, Otherwise, what I just painted on my nails may be discovered.
And the information revealed by Tuoba Shao's words is already very clear, regarding Xiyuan and Daxin's marriage, this Liu Ruxu, Tuoba Shao now disagrees!
Murong Zhi's eyes swept away, and the onlookers scattered for seven or eight minutes, and then he said to Tuoba Shao, "No, take the little emperor's grandson to the bedroom to rest for a while, this accident, Daxin will surely I will give Nishihara an explanation."
After all, the matter of An'an was the most important thing, and Tuoba Shao certainly didn't want to settle this matter on such an occasion.
However, before Liu Ruxu breathed a sigh of relief, and before they took An An to the side hall where they rested, Su Yunchu said quietly, looking at the corner of Liu Ruxu's mouth full of coldness, "Ms. What is it?"
In a word, Liu Ruxu paused.
Su Yunchu continued, "This push won't cause the little Huangsun's illness to flare up. Miss Liu has Linghe powder on her?"
What is Linghe powder? It is a highly poisonous substance. Naturally, it will not cause any abnormalities when it comes into contact with the human body. However, once it is consumed, it will die suddenly within two hours, and it is difficult to find out the cause of the drug.
However, Su Yunchu understood that while Linghe powder is a poison, it is also a kind of tasteless stimulant drug, which can stimulate sudden heart palpitations in heart patients!
Hearing this, Liu Ruxu paused, and subconsciously tightened her fingers in the sleeves.
But Su Yunchu saw this small movement, and sneered on his face, "If my concubine guessed correctly, at this time, there are still remnants of spirit cranes scattered between Miss Liu's fingernails. I don't know, Miss Liu entered the palace today. , What is the purpose of carrying such a thing on your body?"
After hearing this, Murong Zhi looked at Liu Ruxu who was at a loss, and he understood in his heart.
And Tuoba Shao was even more angry, "Daxin wants the life of my son?"
This question has directly risen to the level between countries. Murong Zhi frowned, only glanced at Su Yunchu, and said, "Prince, the covenant between Daxin and your country will not change. As for these few things, purely It was an accident, this king will definitely give Xiyuan a reasonable explanation."
As she said that, she didn't need to worry about this matter, she just made a show of flirting with the people around her, and Liu Ruxu was immediately taken to another place.
Only then did Liu Ruxu, who was taken away, react, and then realized that because of Su Yunchu's light words, he might be completely finished.
Not caring much, she just struggled, "My lord, my lord, I'm not targeting the little grandson! I'm not! Prince Jing, save me, save me."
She shouted at Murong Yuan, but Murong Yuan didn't even give her a look.
Liu Ruxu was taken away, An An was taken to the side hall, but just in case, Tuoba Shao had to say to Su Yunchu, "Princess Jing."
Regardless of Murong Yuan's reluctance, Tuoba Shao knew that in Daxin, only Su Yunchu knew An An's condition better.
Naturally, Su Yunchu would not refuse, "Let's take him to the side hall first."
Then, he patted Murong Yuan's hand lightly to show comfort.
Empress Chu naturally knew about the matter in the Imperial Garden, and she was extremely angry at Liu Ruxu's bold behavior, but the most important thing was to visit An An in the side hall. Of course, there are many eyes and ears in the palace, and the Imperial Garden The matter on this side, after Liu Ruxu, had already reached the ears of Emperor Yongye before it was completely resolved.
After Emperor Yongye heard this, there was almost a storm on his face, he just called the imperial physician to go to the side hall of the imperial garden, and also called the Marquis of Nanyang to have an audience.
All of a sudden, the imperial physician and the empress gathered in the side hall where An An was, but because Su Yunchu's medical skills were placed there, the imperial physician who came here was only a decoration.
An An is out of danger, and Tuoba Shao also let go of his heart, but, from the beginning, Murong Zhi, who was standing in another place, watched Su Yunchu take care of An An the whole time, his complexion was also dark, Su Yunchu must tell Liu Ruxu Do you have anything on you
Murong Zhi knew that no matter what kind of poison or medicine Liu Ruxu had on his body, the purpose was definitely not An'an, but Su Yunchu said it out, when the alliance between the two countries was needed, he said it out.
His complexion was not good, but on the other side, Murong Yuan also saw Murong Zhi's complexion, so he lowered his eyes and ignored it.
The other princes who heard the news naturally also came after hearing the news, each with their own thoughts, no one knew. In less than half an hour, An An had already woken up. After waking up, he saw everyone gathered around him. Although his face was still a little hazy and weak, there was nothing serious. Su Yunchu would check him again. After reading it again, he also confirmed to Tuoba Shao that An An had no other problems except that he still had some physical weakness.
Empress Chu also breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, otherwise, if something happened to Xiyuan's little emperor's grandson in Daxin's palace, maybe in the end, Daxin and Xiyuan would be the first to make enemies before the war between Daxin and Beiliang. Seeing this, he also said to everyone, "Okay, it's good for the little emperor to wake up, and everyone should do what they should do. Fortunately, the banquet has not yet started, so let the little emperor rest here. Say it again."
Empress Chu spoke, and the others naturally walked away.
Su Yunchu and Murong Yuan exchanged glances, and left here too.
In this bedroom, only An An, You Luo and Tuoba Shao were left in the end, as well as a few maids who stayed behind to take care of them.
Seeing that everyone left, An An also realized what she had done before, her face was weak, but she still called out "Father King" timidly in a low voice.
The little man yelled out because of his weak body. Although Tuoba Shao couldn't bear it, he still said solemnly, "You still know how to call me king father, let's see what you have become now." Now, even here, you are still so naughty!"
Although the tone is a little heavy, but in the end there is still love for his son.
Seeing what Tuoba Shao said, An An was usually an An An who knew his mistakes and could correct them, but at this moment, he rarely pouted, "Father, I don't like her, she bullies Sister Yun!"
Seeing that Tuoba An defended Su Yunchu so much, especially after coming to Beijing, he seemed to defend Su Yunchu even more than three years ago. Tuoba Shao sighed, looked at Tuoba An lying on the bed, and stretched out his hand to rub his cheeks. Hair, "But you are still young, you can't even protect yourself, let alone protect your sister Yun."
Tuoba Shao spoke with unclear emotions. An An probably rarely saw Tuoba Shao talking to him in such a helpless tone. Of course, at this time, he didn't understand that this was helplessness. He only felt that his father was not the same as before. Same, but he still stubbornly insisted, "Father, the child has grown up, and the child knows that the father will take her back to our Xiyuan, and he will become the princess of the father, but the child does not like her."
Tuoba'an frowned, "Who told you this?"
Liu Ruxu's matter has not yet been decided, and the imperial edict has not been issued, even if he himself has not decided to take it back, it must be Liu Ruxu, let alone talk about it with An An, and he has never been in front of An An. Mentioned this person, so he frowned even more.
An An was not afraid of Tuoba Shao's suddenly stern voice, but said, "I heard someone talking about it when I was playing in the garden. They were talking secretly behind the rockery. Bad, why do you want her to be your princess? Can't you find someone as good as Sister Yun?"
There was already some questioning color in the child's voice.
There are many people in the palace, but, such a secret discussion, Tuoba Shao listened to An An's words, stood on top of adult thinking, but had to think a little more, is there really such a bold servant who has already known the news?
Seeing this, Tuoba Shao could only smile and said, "Don't worry, An'an, my father will definitely not marry her as the crown prince."
Hearing this, An An's fuss calmed down, "Really?"
Tuoba Shao was very sure, "Yes!"
In this way, An An breathed out a sigh of relief, and You Luo also smiled and said, "An An is not allowed to be naughty anymore, your sister Yun is amazing, and you won't be bullied by others. Later, I even bothered to heal you."
An An enjoyed the time when You Luo tucked the quilt up for herself, and she smiled, "Who said that it is a man's responsibility to protect a woman. Sister Yun will be my wife in the future, so of course I want to protect her!"
After hearing this, You Luo couldn't help laughing, she could tell that Su Yunchu and Murong Yuan had a very good relationship, so she could only smile, "You are not allowed to say this in front of Prince Jing, otherwise, you should be punished."
However, this child is very arrogant, "If he is a man, he should have a fair competition with me!"
Hearing this, You Luo couldn't help pinching his nose, "Who did you learn this from!"
After making such a fuss for a while, An An was also tired. In the end, she just murmured, "I learned it myself. Sister Yun is so good. If the father makes sister Yun the princess, it will be fine, but I won't give it to the father. Sister Yun will be my princess in the future... "
Saying this, I couldn't help being sleepy and tired, and my eyes were closed.
Tuoba Shao just watched with a smile, shaking his head and laughing.
You Luo glanced at Tuoba Shao, "Brother, I'm here to take care of An An, you go and deal with things first."
Tuoba Shao nodded and stroked An An's head, "By the way, you can also rest here, and you don't need to pay attention to the things outside."
"Yeah." You Luo nodded lightly, this time coming to Xiyuan, there are really many things that I didn't expect.
What happened in the dormitory was put into the eyes of two peeking and eavesdropping people one by one. The following passage of An An was naturally heard by Murong Yuan. Looking at the gloomy expression on Murong Yuan's face, Su Yunchu I just thought it was funny, "Huaiqing, he is really just a child."
"Son, Ah Chu, he has been like this since he was seven years old, if he is more than ten years old, he will be fine!"
Murong Yuan felt dissatisfied that his daughter-in-law was so missed by a brat, Su Yunchu smiled, "If he grows ten years older, won't I grow any longer?"
"But if Ah Chu is more than ten years older, he will still look like he is now, and he will not grow old!"
Su Yunchu laughed, "Murong Huaiqing, can you know the future? I'm still young forever!"
"Of course, if there is a elixir of eternal youth, I will find it for Ah Chu!"
The two of them were lying in this place, and Tuoba Shao, who had walked out of the An'an bedroom, naturally knew about it, so he couldn't help joking, "I should be suspicious of what you two said, and all my actions in Daxin have been included in the eyes of others."
Does he still have privacy
But Murong Yuan had a calm face, "The prince has never done anything shameful, so why be afraid?"
"But I have to be more careful now." The two of them should have heard what An An said in the dormitory earlier.
Murong Yuan naturally heard it. The discussion that An An overheard by chance was by no means accidental. Empress Chu managed the harem well. Today's imperial garden banquet was organized by Empress Chu herself, and the people she uses must be very careful, not to mention that it is an important matter of the alliance between the two countries. No matter what, she should try her best to cooperate with Emperor Yongye internally. Such a coincidence, presumably, someone wants to destroy this alliance.
More importantly, Liu Ruxu's marriage to Xiyuan was internal news, and it had not been made public, so how could there be people in the palace discussing it.
Using An An, a child who doesn't know many things yet, wants to provoke the conflict between Xi Yuan and Da Xin.
The first principle is the supremacy of mutual interests between the two countries. The alliance, from the present point of view, is beneficial to both Daxin and Xiyuan. Two-phase attack, Beiliang Zong is a tiger and wolf on the grassland, and it is hard to beat with two fists and four hands However, if the accident caused by An'an destroyed this alliance, then Daxin would not only face Beiliang, but also Xiyuan's counterattack at an unknown time.
However, fortunately, Tuoba Shao is also a person with a quick mind, he will not be impulsive easily, and he understands the key point after thinking about it for a while.
But looking at Murong Yuan and Su Yunchu, the corners of Tuoba Shao's lips curled up, "I really don't understand, how can you be so tolerant with the power of King Jing?"
Murong Yuan raised his eyebrows, he naturally understood what Tuoba Shao was referring to, since he was so capable and able to get news from the palace, why did he seem so indifferent to this huge power.
"This king only wants to conquer Beiliang as soon as possible, and protect his concubine from being coveted by the little emperor!"
He said lightly, but extremely seriously, Su Yunchu secretly laughed in his heart.
Tuoba Shao also shook his head, Su Yunchu was left behind, Murong Yuan and Tuoba Shao were naturally going to the Imperial Study Room, after these few incidents, the Imperial Study Room must have figured out how to deal with it.
During the time when everyone was gathered here, Emperor Yongye had summoned the Marquis of Nanyang to enter the palace, and Marquis of Nanyang had entered the palace, so Liu Ruxu was naturally there too. And knew that now that I knew it, I was also taken aback, "Your Majesty, my minister is confused, Your Majesty, my daughter must not have done it on purpose, my daughter did not intend to..."
Emperor Yongye was already in a hurry, and it was extremely rare to choose such a suitable person as Liu Ruxu. Today, if such a mistake happened, Tuoba Shao would definitely be dissatisfied, so the person who married must be replaced, but ... I can't find the best candidate anymore, is it really necessary to let Jing Yi go
Unless it was a last resort, Emperor Yongye didn't want to take this step at all.
But no matter how Liu Yan begged for mercy, Emperor Yongye would not back down. Looking at Liu Ruxu, who was also in the imperial study room, who was just dazed at this time, Emperor Yongye's complexion was not good. Poison entering the palace, this point, no emperor can tolerate anyone, let alone such an extremely poisonous Linghesan.
"Daughter of the Marquis of Nanyang, can you plead guilty?"
The expression on Liu Ruxu's face was hopeless and sad, and she looked up at Emperor Yongye, without the panic and fear at the beginning, "My daughter is innocent, Your Majesty, my daughter was wronged!"
Liu Ruxu refused to plead guilty, and Emperor Yongye looked even worse, "The spirit cranes in your nails are loose, how can you explain it?"
Linghe San was acquired by Liu Ruxu with a lot of money. Originally, he wanted to use it on Su Yunchu during the palace banquet, but he didn't want to. An An, he was not reconciled to such an accident that made everything fall short.
However, now, she can't admit this matter. The matter of Linghe San has been exposed, and she can't hide it. But the courtier understands in her heart that the emperor wants to let the courtier go to Xiyuan, and the courtier is not unwilling to make some efforts for my Daxin harmony, but the courtier has admired Prince Jing for many years, and it has not changed a single bit from the child to the young girl. , Today, I want to ask the emperor to withdraw my order, otherwise, I am willing to die to show my will!"
After Liu Ruxu finished speaking, her face became quite calm, and then, following a heavy kowtow, she kowtowed heavily to Emperor Yongye.
Liu Ruxu spoke with sincerity, and Emperor Yongye naturally remembered Liu Ruxu's request to marry Murong Yuan at the palace banquet last time.
Now after listening to Liu Ruxu's words again, she only lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Liu Yan's heart was already blocked, how could he believe that Liu Ruxu would really show his will by dying. That Linghe scattered must be due to other reasons. Although I don't know, but he tried his best to protect Liu Ruxu. Seeing Emperor Yongye's silence, he also knelt down and kowtowed anxiously, "Your Majesty, my daughter's heart for Prince Jing is not enough. The sun and the moon can learn from each other, so I will sit down on such a foolish thing, the emperor, the daughter has no intention of harming others, the emperor forgives the daughter's life... "
Liu Yan's head was about to break, Emperor Yongye was silent for a while and didn't speak.
On the other side, Murong Yan looked at Liu Ruxu and Liu Yan's appearance, but clenched the hand hanging by his side.
This woman, the woman who has never seen him in his eyes, but he has imprinted her figure in his heart.
It's ridiculous...
What happened in the imperial study room was not known to outsiders in the end. Later, Murong Yuan, Murong Zhi and Tuoba Shao were all called into the imperial study room. It was not until half an hour before the reception banquet started that everything was over.
Emperor Yongye was also angry about the court lady that An An overheard, and handed it over to Murong Zhi to handle it, and Empress Chu was also to blame.
When the banquet started, Nanyang Hou and Liu Ruxu did not appear at the banquet. The people who attended the banquet had already heard about what happened in the Imperial Garden before, so it is not surprising that no one is seen now.
It's just that this palace banquet was also Tuoba Shao's concubine selection banquet. Although the Xiyuan prince was born handsome, but after all, he was going to Xiyuan. Besides, who is the princess who was married will have a good end, a lonely life, Being away from home is simply helpless.
Even if something like that happened in the imperial garden before, the welcome banquet will still start.
The courtiers entered the palace one after another. Ever since Murong Yuan left the imperial study, Su Yunchu felt that his mood was different. Although he didn't know what happened, but now is not the time to ask. Smiling at him, the two sat down at the seats in Prince Jing's mansion.
Tuoba Shao, You Luo, and An An took their seats one by one, and sat down in the seat of the Xiyuan envoy.
The side where Su Yunchu is located is the location arranged for several princes, arranged one by one according to size, and opposite is the location of Xiyuan's envoy.
After everyone was seated, Emperor Yongye also appeared with Empress Chu, and it was still the third concubine among the four concubines except Concubine Shun who appeared together.
The opening of the reception banquet was actually very simple. After Emperor Yongye said some unimportant words symbolically, the silk and bamboo orchestra began below, and the toasts were staggered.
However, during the banquet, You Luo always looked towards King Yuan, with the same appearance.
Even when Tuoba Shao saw it right now, he was shocked for a moment. If he didn't know Sikong too well, I'm afraid that even he himself would have regarded King Yuan as Sikong. , he would also doubt whether Sikong is still alive.
Daxin's King Yuan has absolutely no possibility of succeeding to the throne, and he doesn't care about the government. Therefore, there is no risk of disputes between emperors and princes. Speaking of it, he is a person who can live a rich life, but he was born with insufficiency, which is a pity. …
Even when An An saw King Yuan, he whispered to Tuoba Shao that the man was Uncle Sikong.
But under Tuoba Shao's warning, he could only be curious about King Yuan, but he couldn't help but want to visit there.
King Yuan naturally sensed the probing gazes of the three people here, especially since An An was still young, he would not hide his emotions at all. Even if Tuoba Shao hid it well, how could he not see it if he only looked at him once? There was a brief strangeness in his eyes.
The banquet lasted for a while, An An said that he drank too much water and wanted to have a rest. Originally, Tuoba Shao wanted someone to take him there, but You Luo said that he also wanted to relieve the hangover, so he brought An An along. Just go out and forget it.
Tuoba Shao understood what You Luo was thinking, so he didn't say much, just nodded in agreement.
An An went to have a rest, and there was a little eunuch inside to accompany him in, and You Luo waited outside. When he saw King Yuan again, his heart was no longer as intense as it was at the beginning. He just felt sad, and life was like a play.
However, she was alone here feeling disappointed, but behind her came the gentle and pleasant voice of King Yuan, "Is the princess too strong for alcohol?"
You Luo turned her head abruptly, saw King Yuan was close at hand, staggered back, "His Royal Highness Yuan King!"
She was a little surprised, how could King Yuan appear here during the palace banquet.
King Yuan didn't move much, just nodded and chuckled, "Princess, be careful."
After saying that, King Yuan went to another place. He also went for convenience
At this moment, You Luo's heart was still beating like a drum, beating endlessly.
But King Yuan was nowhere to be seen.
People nowadays call the toilet Xueyin. When King Yuan went in, he happened to see An An coming out accompanied by the little eunuch, but An An looked at him with eyes full of doubts.
King Yuan had to pause, looked at An An and said, "Do you know me?"
An An was silent for a while, and then raised a small face to look at him, "Are you Uncle Sikong?"
It's Sikong again, King Yuan has heard this name twice today, with a smile on his lips, "I'm not, do I look a lot like him?"
King Yuan only claimed that he was not Sikong, and An An broke free from him, "You said you were not Uncle Sikong, but why do you look exactly like him?" Wuzi didn't understand, but An An didn't struggle, "My father and aunt both said you It's not Uncle Sikong, it would be great if you were Uncle Sikong, then Auntie and King Father will be very happy."
Saying that, An An ran away.
He really hoped that this person, the person who seemed to be with Sister Yun all the time seemed to be of the same identity, that was Uncle Sikong.
King Yuan didn't stop An An from running away, he just watched the figure disappear in this place.
The palace banquet was still going on, and the time before and after You Luo and An An went out was only a quarter of an hour.
After returning to the main hall, the singing and dancing had stopped. Emperor Yongye had a very kind expression on his face. Looking at Xiyuan, he finally said about the alliance, "Daxin formed an alliance with Xiyuan, and we will jointly resist Beiliang , will surely recover the lost ground.”
The courtiers naturally catered and said a few words in an official accent.
Emperor Yongye waved his hand, "For this reason, I, Daxin, have decided to become good friends with Xiyuan in Qin and Jin Dynasties. The prince Xiyuan will choose a woman of the right age from among the female family members of my Daxin's important ministers, as the princess. After half a month, he will join the prince Go back to Xiyuan, and Princess Youluo, you will marry me as Daxin."
Emperor Yongye said it with a smile, as if Liu Ruxu's original plan had never happened.
The courtiers listened and congratulated Tuoba Shao and You Luo in unison.
Emperor Yongye looked at Tuoba Shao, "All of you present here are all outstanding sons and daughters of my new generation. I wonder if the crown prince has someone he likes?"
With a smile on his face, Tuoba Shao glanced at the women in court, with a smile on his lips, many women, daughters of multiple ministers, worried in his heart, but being looked at by such a handsome man like Tuoba Shao, his face was also Seeing the embarrassment, he only lowered his head, not daring to lift it up.
Tuoba Shao said lightly, "I heard that Princess Jingyi is a rare talented woman in Daxin. I have always admired Daxin culture. I wonder if I am so lucky?"
Jing Yi didn't expect Tuoba Shao to say such a thing. After all, Emperor Yongye ordered her not to pay attention to the marriage with Xiyuan.
Even Emperor Yongye's complexion sank when he heard Tuoba Shao's words.
These days, Jingyi felt so many times in her heart, she didn't know how many things she had thought about, but the last thing she wanted was for Emperor Yongye to use her to tie Chen Ziming. And he understood that Chen Ziming would never have her in his heart.
With a wry smile, he looked at Chen Ziming who was also in the hall, and that person remained calm.
After Tuoba Shao's words, the audience was silent, even Su Yunchu was shocked. In fact, the fate of Princess Heqin is really bad. Whenever there is any friction between the two countries, the first to suffer is Heqin. The princess is gone, even though Daxin and Beiliang are living in peace now, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future.
For Tuoba Shao's words, she unconsciously tightened the hand held by Murong Yuan.
Murong Yuan could naturally feel her changes, so he just held her softly to comfort her.
Emperor Yongye's depression was only for a moment, and he immediately changed into a smile on his face, "Prince, are you going to take away my favorite daughter?"
Although there was a hint of joke in Emperor Yongye's words, he took Tuoba Shao's words as a joke, and he just responded with a joke.
However, at this moment, Jing Yi suddenly stood up, "Father, Jing Yi is willing to go to Xiyuan!"
She spoke bluntly, without the slightest hesitation in her tone, and was even more serious and serious, without a trace of reluctance, and then she looked at Tuoba Shao and said, "Jing Yi deserves the name of a talented woman, but I am grateful to you." It is Jingyi's honor to love the crown prince!"
Concubine Yi on the seat was surprised, Su Yunchu couldn't believe it, all the princes had their own expressions, but none of them were genuinely happy.
But this is a decision made by Jingyi herself.
The expression on Tuoba Shao's face remained unchanged, looking at Jing Yi with a determined expression, the corners of his lips were still slightly raised.
