Chang Anqing

Chapter 147

When Zhao Yi's steady and powerful voice resounded above the main hall, and the lingering lingering sound was still in the ears, through the bright candles above the hall, people saw the figure of the man kneeling on one knee like a cold lonely mountain, The tone was calm and steady, as if they didn't realize how shocking the request just now was, but they could clearly see the firmness like a rock in the clear eyes, which was very different from the indifference when Cai Cai refused to marry just now.

Faced with this sudden scene, Emperor Yuan Cheng looked slightly at Empress Yang beside him, but saw that Empress Yang did not show too many unexpected emotions, but looked at him gently in silence. In the silent meeting, he saw a faint request.

It seems that this time, Mrs. Li came prepared, and even the queen deliberately kept it from him——

Under the gaze of everyone, Emperor Yuan Cheng turned his head slowly, and saw Princess Pengcheng with a calm expression. At this moment, she did not change her expression because of this marriage proposal that was about to break the situation. In general, Lalan stretched out his well-maintained right hand, picked up the wine cup in front of him, gently swayed it to his lips and sipped, revealing the red gold inlaid bracelet on his snow-white wrist.

"Parents' order, matchmaker's words, Zhao Qing's request, I don't know what Mr. Li means—"

When Li Zhang, who was sitting upright all the time, heard the question from the emperor, he got up unhurriedly under the inquiring eyes of the crowd. His handsome face was as easy-going as ever, making it hard to see too much emotion.

"Return to Your Majesty—"

Under the attention of all the people, Li Zhang calmly bowed his hands towards Emperor Yuan Cheng, and when he looked sideways at Zhao Yi in the hall, his eyes flicked with admiration, and his words were fair and straightforward, without any personal affection.

"King Yuling is young and promising, with outstanding military exploits, he is a pillar of my dynasty, I should obey His Majesty's will."

Seeing Li Zhang's unbiased response, everyone knew that ten points had become seven points. As expected, Emperor Yuan Cheng nodded his head, and without waiting for him to say anything, Yang Chongyuan, who was sitting down majestically, squinted his eyes. Glancing at the silent Concubine Shu, she said meaningfully: "Concubine Shu just said well, to get married and establish a career, and now that King Yuling has made countless military exploits for our dynasty, His Majesty should also bestow God's grace on him. Only when the house is stable can we be better." Ride around the world."

After finishing speaking, Yang Chongyuan's deep eyes fell on Zhao Yi, and then he turned to look at Li Sui in relief, "King Yuling is a good general of my dynasty, and Princess Yongning is a model of noble women in my dynasty, isn't it just what your majesty just said about the appearance of a talented woman?" -"

While speaking, Yang Chongyuan uttered the last four words word by word, and gave Emperor Yuan Cheng a half-sarcastic, half-threatening look in his eyes, and finally raised his jaw and said to Guan Ji with a cold attitude: "Your Majesty said, yes or no .”

Hearing Yang Chongyuan's words, Li Sui was not surprised. In the previous life, the Shangguan family had also encouraged Emperor Yuan Cheng to marry Zhao Yi to win Zhao Yi's mind.

So she decisively used the rumors in the market to force Shangguan Ji'an to sit still, and had to act before Yang Chongyuan did anything about it. If Shangguanji's marriage did not happen today, in terms of her marriage with Zhao Yi, nothing would happen. Yang Chongyuan's plan is bound to be thwarted.

Just as father and aunt thought, under Yang Chongyuan's fight all the way, the Yang family finally pulled their Li family down from the top position of the family. Naturally, they are afraid of them in every possible way. The marriage of the Yuling King, who holds a heavy army, adds to his strength.

But tonight is different, with Shangguan's court outside the palace in front, and Zhao Yi's initiative to marry him behind, Yang Chongyuan knew that he wanted to completely cut off Shangguan's thoughts and break the relationship between Shangguan and Zhao Yi. All possible, to pull Zhao Yi into their camp of Yang and Li, is the only way to generously fulfill Zhao Yi's request, not only sell Li's affection, consolidate the relationship between Yang and Li, but also borrow This is to show the face of his Shangguan clan in public.

Why not kill three birds with one stone?

In the face of Yang Chongyuan's menacing momentum, everyone kept silent, and it was difficult to look at Shangguanji, the minister, but they knew how unfriendly Shangguanji's face must be at this moment without thinking about them.

"What the captain said is very true."

Hearing Yang Chongyuan's vigilant words, Emperor Yuan Cheng nodded repeatedly and said: "King Yuling and Princess Yongning are a perfect match, I am happy to be the matchmaker, and tomorrow I will personally write a book to give you two a wedding decree. "

When the emperor mentioned himself, he noticed that everyone was looking at him unanimously. Li Sui stood up calmly, caressed the hem of his skirt, and looked straight at him. He didn't look like a shy little girl. His expression was calm and calm, and he was able to bear all kinds of eyes.

Under the light of the Wanshou River Goat Horn Lantern, Li Sui's eyes are like the reflection of the morning sun in the spring water. The red gold flower ornaments in his hair, the plum blossoms in his eyebrows, and the gemstone beads in his ears not only did not suppress his expression, but set it off. People become more and more eye-catching.Completely different from the heroic Shangguan Yun, at this moment when everyone saw the graceful and graceful figure with hair like clouds and satin and dimples like the moon, they immediately felt like a spring breeze, like a fairy lady walking out of a painting, without any aggressive posture, But its natural temperament makes people willing to admire.

During the movement, Li Sui's vermilion flower brocade thin shirt and the blue lotus petal-patterned sixteen floor skirt swayed slightly. With just a glance, you can see that the smudge is even, delicate and elegant, and it must be a rare and unique product.

The people present couldn't help sighing, everyone said that the family was harmonious, the children were cautious, and the family style was prosperous, from the nobles to the common people, everyone admired and yearned for it, but they looked at the graceful and dignified Yongning walking in front of him. When they were princesses, they understood that such a demeanor and demeanor engraved in the bone marrow could not be imitated overnight.

When Li Suiwen stood beside Zhao Yi, she knew very well that at this moment, her and Zhao Yi's names would be tied together tightly. She was no longer just the princess of Yongning, but also Princess Yuling.

And she will work hand in hand with Zhao Yi beside her, her future husband, to complete this unknown life full of infinite possibilities.

At this moment, Li Sui raised his jaw proudly. When he saw Empress Yang nodding and smiling at her gratifiedly, with tears in her eyes, Li Sui's heart warmed up, and a reassuring smile floated in his star-like eyes.

"My minister, Zhao Yi, thanked His Majesty for his grace—"

"Yongning thanked His Majesty for the grace—"

The face of the man in front of the hall is firm and upright, and the girl's demeanor is graceful and luxurious. When Zhao Yi bowed his hands to salute, Li Sui beside him calmly clasped his hands together, and crossed his hands like holding flowers to make a salute, moving clouds like flowing water. It is pleasing to watch.

After the banquet, the courtiers and female family members who came out in groups of threes and twos were all whispering about today's ups and downs. Only Shangguanji looked indifferent, but the low air pressure around him could not be ignored in the slightest.When Qi Fang was about to descend the jade steps, when he caught sight of the tall and beautiful figure under the pillars outside the hall, Shangguan Ji calmed down, glanced sideways at Shangguan Yuan and his wife Fang Shi beside him, and said, "Go home first." Well, I'll come later."

After all, Shangguan Ji never took a second look at Shangguan Yun who was beside Fang, turned around and walked towards the pillars.

"Concubine Shu."

Seeing the calm father bowing to him, Concubine Shu Shangguan said in a low voice, "Aye."

Hearing Shangguan's voice, Shangguan Ji got up slowly, and the next moment Concubine Shu looked sideways at the people beside her and said, "I have something to say to Shang Shuling, you wait here."

Under Concubine Shu's signal, Luanzhi, her personal servant, immediately stood in front of the crowd with comprehension, watching Concubine Shu and Shangguan Ji walk towards the corridor of His Highness not far away.

"Is Liniang's move just abolished—"

In the cold night, Concubine Shu's words became more low-key, and the lights flickered on and off, and Shangguan Ji's usually gentle and kind eyes gradually revealed a coldness that had never been shown before.

"Zhao Yi insulted my Shangguan family too much today."

After all, Shangguan Ji said coldly and without a trace of emotion: "Since he chose the Li family, he will be a deadly enemy with my Shangguan family. You can rest assured that when he returns to Shuobei, he will never be able to return to Chang'an."

In the cold wind, Shangguan Ji looked at Concubine Shu threateningly, and said mockingly: "It's a pity that the little princess is going to be a widow before she gets married, just like her unlucky princess, who has no status. What's the use of honor."

Seeing Shangguan Ji's calm expression, Concubine Shu gradually relaxed, and said in a more cautious voice: "Aye, my daughter is pregnant with His Majesty's heir."

When Concubine Shu's words fell to his ears, Shangguan Ji's eyes lit up, and he immediately swept away the anger that had been suppressed for a long time, and turned it into joy. When he touched Concubine Shu's eyes that were almost crying with joy, he trembled and said: " Okay, okay, you don't need to worry about the affairs of the court."

After all, Shangguan Ji's earnest eyes fell on Concubine Shu, and he said with prudence and expectation: "This child came at a very good time. He will be your blessing in the future, and also my Shangguan family's blessing."

"There is only one thing. The current situation in the imperial court is unclear, and the Yang family and the Li family are eyeing us. Before the birth of our daughter is stable, we should keep it a secret from everyone."

Hearing Concubine Shu's reminder, Shangguan Ji nodded approvingly and said: "Your caution is right, I will keep this matter from you for now, and now you must have a good life."

When Shangguanji gradually went away, Luanzhi came up alone, carefully supported Concubine Shu and said worriedly: "Lady, do you really want to hide the matter from Shang Shuling?"

Hearing Luanzhi's worry, Concubine Shu lowered her head and poked her belly very carefully, as if she had touched the child who was less than one month old, and said softly and coldly: "No, at least not now."

"I'm only afraid that you are alone. It's too hard to deal with such a complicated situation——"

Before Luanzhi finished speaking, Concubine Shu raised her head awe-inspiringly, and the chuckle on her lips in the night was cold and cruel, without the slightest bit of gentleness and weakness in normal times.

"I didn't fight in the past, but because of that stupid Concubine Zheng Shu, now—"

Concubine Shu gently caressed her lower abdomen, looked up at all living beings, looked like a treasure, but her words were cold and ruthless.

"They are all just pawns on my board."
