Inside Chengtian Gate, everyone with dark heads were staring closely at the low-key, plain carriage.
Who is it
Can the emperor be welcomed in person at the palace gate with all the civil and military officials and ladies of honor
When the carriage stopped, Shen Dong and Shen Nan, one lifted the curtain of the carriage, and the other picked up the footrest and placed it next to the carriage.
Then, the two men stood respectfully on the left and right of the carriage.
Everyone saw a head wearing a jade crown coming out, then raised its head and glanced in the direction of the palace gate with an indifferent expression and full of majesty. Just one glance, everyone's heart trembled and they felt a chill on the back of their necks.
The man was handsome and had an extraordinary bearing. He was wearing a black and gold robe with dark patterns. In the clear morning light, the dark gold patterns on his clothes shone faintly, and he looked low-key and noble.
Just one look is enough to show his domineering aura!
All the civil and military officials in the court were thinking: Who is this person
Only those envoys who had been sent to the State of Jin and had the honor of attending the palace banquet of the State of Jin recognized who the other party was.
The envoys rubbed their eyes at the same time, suspecting that they had seen it wrong!
How could the king of Jin appear in Chu
The King of Jin took a quick glance and was quite satisfied, so he retracted his gaze, lowered his head, lifted the hem of his clothes with one hand, got off the carriage, turned around, and then stretched out his hand to the people in the carriage: "Get down! Be careful not to hit your head."
He stretched out his other hand to block it.
A slender hand stretched out from the front of the carriage and placed it on the palm of the King of Jin. Then everyone saw a slender figure wearing a red head coming out.
The woman wore a ruby phoenix hairpin in her hair, which sparkled and shone brightly in the sunlight.
Even without seeing the person's true appearance, one can already feel how luxurious the other person is.
Shen Ruoxi got off the carriage with the help of the King of Jin, and then turned his head to look in the direction of the palace gate.
Someone gasped slightly.
The woman, dressed as a woman, looked to be only in her early twenties. Her beautiful face was reflected in the morning sun, and she was graceful and charming, with unparalleled beauty.
The dress she was wearing was red, which might look tacky on others, but it was stunning on her, as if the rising sun in the sky was not as dazzling as her!
Who is this young and beautiful woman
Not everyone can wear a phoenix hairpin, right
Shen Ruolan's eyes widened and she almost blurted out, "Sister? !"
After the King of Jin helped Shen Ruoxi get off the carriage, he went to help Xing Nong.
When it was Xing Nong's turn to show up, a thought popped up in everyone's mind unconsciously: She is so gorgeous and beautiful, the most beautiful woman in the world, there is probably only one such person in the world!
Xing Nong got off the carriage swiftly.
The emperor and Chu Tiankuo led everyone forward to greet them.
But he was also amazed by Xing Nong's appearance. He turned his head to look at Chu Tiankuo, unable to believe it: "She is Lord Shen?"
How did that heroic woman become so beautiful
Chu Tiankuo did not answer his stupid question. He strode forward, came to the King of Jin, bowed and saluted: "The Crown Prince of Chu greets the King of Jin, the Queen, and the Princess."
The ministers and ladies behind him were shocked. It turned out to be the King of Jin who came to visit
No wonder it’s such a big deal!
The four countries spoke first, and the monarchs of major countries came in person, which was the highest etiquette.
But where did the queen and princess of Jin come from
Everyone knelt down one after another: "Welcome the King, Queen, and Princess of Jin to the Kingdom of Chu!"
The King of Chu smiled and said, "How are you, Lord Jin?"
The King of Jin smiled with a fake smile: "I hope the King of Chu is well!"
It was really hard for him to be nice to the person who stole his precious princess!
He did not throw the imperial edict in the faces of the father and son out of consideration for Ruoxi's sake!
The King of Chu did not mind. He smiled and made a gesture of invitation: "The banquet is ready, please come, Lord Jin!"
So all the civil and military officials and ladies in the court knelt down and made way for them.
A few people walked past a group of figures crawling on the ground as if nothing had happened.
Only after they had walked a few meters away did everyone dare to get up.
Princess Changle stood up and saw Shen Ruolan kneeling there dumbfounded. She felt impatient, but so many people were watching. She would be a model of a mother of the country in the future. She would not let her persistence of more than ten years be ruined in the last step. So she gently bent down to help Shen Ruolan: "Second Mother, are your feet numb?"
When the ladies around heard this, they all looked over, with a look of disapproval between their eyebrows. They felt that Shen Ruolan was not up to the stage and had never seen the world. She was so scared that her legs went weak. Couldn't she get up
Shen Ruolan came back to her senses and noticed that everyone was looking at her. Her face flushed and she quickly stood up: "No."
Princess Changle still squatted down and rubbed her knees.
Shen Ruolan felt warm in her heart, and hurriedly pulled her up: “Second Mother is fine, let’s go!”
The palace banquet was about to begin and everyone hurried in.
There is no reason to make the emperor wait for everyone.
At this moment, everyone hurried back to their seats.
Seeing this, other ladies could not help but sigh: "Princess Changle is so filial!"
"That's right. If my daughter were as sensible and filial as her, I would smile in my dreams."
... ...
After hearing these words, Princess Changle tried hard to suppress the upward curve of her lips. This was exactly the effect she wanted!
~
It is a beautiful spring day at the end of February. Today the weather is windless and warm, so the palace banquet will be held outdoors.
The King of Jin and the Emperor of Chu sat side by side on the main seat.
There were three tables placed on their left and right sides, one on the left where Xing Nong and Shen Ruoxi sat, one on the right where Chu Tiankuo sat alone, and one where the Queen Mother sat.
Amidst the singing of birds and the clinking of glasses, the King of Jin had already stated his demands: the princess who wanted to marry him could, but Chu Tiankuo must have only one queen in his life, no other women. If he couldn't do that, the imperial edict would be taken back!
The Emperor of Chu had an ugly look on his face. The prince was the future monarch, and how could a monarch not have three thousand concubines in his harem
This is not about lust, this is about court officials!
Although I knew that the King of Jin came here to cancel the engagement, I never thought that he would make such a request to deliberately make things difficult!
He subconsciously looked at Chu Tiankuo.
He said he would handle it.
Chu Tiankuo did not look at the Emperor of Chu, but only said to the King of Jin: "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. I once promised Princess Xingnong that I would only have her in my life. If you break this promise, I will offer you my throne with both hands, or I will not be the Crown Prince anymore."
The singing and dancing were so loud that they blocked out the sound of the two people talking. However, Chu Tiankuo's voice was heard through the sound of stringed instruments and reached everyone's ears.
"... ... "The Emperor of Chu had a clump of his beard pulled out!
He looked at Chu Tiankuo with an expression that failed to conceal his shock.
How come he didn't know he made such a promise? !
Does he know what this means
The court is unstable!
What Chu State offered it with both hands!
What do you mean this prince is unworthy
This is nonsense!
King of Jin: “… … ..”
You actually made such a promise?!
Is this considered a vow of eternal love
What else did the two of them do in private
He looked at Xingnong.
Xing Nong nodded.
King of Jin: “… .”
He glared at Chu Tiankuo and had reservations about his words. After all, life is too long!
The King of Jin was in mixed feelings. Brat, after what he said, how could he ruin this marriage
All the civil and military officials and ladies in the court said: "..."
Is the prince crazy
How could this be possible? How could this be possible? What did he think of the Chu State? A marriage gift?!
Princess Changle was so shocked that she forgot to close her mouth!
How can the prince's cousin only marry one person
What should she do
When Shen Ruolan heard Princess Xingnong, she looked at the two people on the podium who looked similar and familiar, and she was sure that Shen Ruoxi was her sister!
But how did my sister become the Queen of Jin
How did Xingnong become the princess of Jin
Could it be that Xingnong’s biological father is actually the king of Jin
The Queen Mother looked unhappy: "I don't agree!"
