Empress Fenghua

Chapter 43
White petals were scattered in front of everyone, and a veil of the same color spread in the air.Falling flowers are like rain, so beautiful.

Among them, a tall and straight man flew down, with broad shoulders and a thin waist, wearing a white Shengxue long gown, a golden belt, and long hair tied up with white jade hairpins.That face is as handsome as jade, with the richness of mountains and rivers, especially those eyes, like a lake full of stars on the plateau, when looking forward, there is an elegant and noble temperament, which makes people feel ashamed.

In Hua Zhong's eyes, only the white clothes of Shengxue remained, and the restlessness in his heart melted like snow in that noble eyes...

Everyone was still immersed in the beauty of falling flowers like rain, admiring Xue Wuhen's elegance.

Xue Wuhen raised the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly, "I'm afraid Emperor Cheng is worrying too much! His highnesses in Chengguo dare not intervene. But Miss Ning San's marriage is not up to Concubine Meng to decide!"

"It turned out to be the young master of the Snow Clan! I thought it was someone who made such a big show, so it's not surprising to think about it now!" Emperor Cheng laughed, "A few days ago, I wanted to keep the young master Xue in the palace for a few more days. The young master is in a hurry to leave the palace, but today he came uninvited again!"

Xue Wuhen threw away the folding fan, and the romance continued, "Today, the young master of Japan did not come uninvited, but for the sake of the young master's fiancée!"

As soon as these words came out, Hua Zhong frowned and looked at everyone with different expressions, only Ye Yongjia looked at Hua Zhong with a faint smile, unable to tell whether it was joy or loneliness.

"Oh?" Emperor Cheng was puzzled, "I heard that Young Master Xue's fiancée is Ms. Yu from the Xue clan. Could it be that Ms. Yu also came to Chengguo Palace today?"

Xue Wuhen smiled and shook his head, "I'm afraid Emperor Cheng misunderstood! This young master and Ms. Yu are brothers and sisters, and have no intention of husband and wife. This young master's fiancée is the daughter of Cheng Guocheng's prime minister - Ning Hua Heavy!"

"Miss Ning San?" Chengdi raised his eyebrows in doubt, "It seems that the rumors in the world are not to be believed. Miss Yu and Young Master Xue have no engagement?" It seemed to be a statement, but it also seemed to be a question.

"It's my father's business to make the marriage contract between my young master and Miss Yu. My young master has never admitted that my young master has only one fiancée, and that is Ning Huazhong!" Xue Wuhen looked at her with sharp eyes. Ye Congjia, "So naturally Third Miss Ning cannot marry His Highness Seventh Highness of your country!"

Concubine Meng sneered and said, "Marriage matters are always ordered by parents and the matchmaker's words. The marriage contract between Young Master Xue and Miss Yu is a family affair of the Xue clan, which is not for outsiders. But Miss Ning San is a citizen of Chengguo. Indispensable. What's more, making a marriage contract requires an engagement ceremony, has Young Master Xue ever exchanged tokens with Miss Ning San? If not, then Young Master Xue's so-called marriage contract is not countable!"

Xue Wuhen snorted coldly, walked up to Hua Zhong, and stared fixedly into Hua Zhong's eyes, his anger still undiminished. "Chong'er is not happy to see this young master?"

"Young Master Xue broke up my daughter's marriage, so my daughter is naturally unhappy." Hua Zhong said such a sentence for some reason, and he obviously would not marry Ye Congjia, but there was an inexplicable fire in his heart.

Xue Wuhen reached out and grabbed Huazhong's jade pendant, and tore it off.Because of this strength, Hua Zhong couldn't stand on his feet, staggered a step forward and fell into Xue Wuhen's arms.In the eyes of outsiders, it seems that the flower is throwing itself into the arms.Xue Wuhen raised the corners of her lips in satisfaction, looked down at Ning Huazhong, and said in a low voice, "Being so obedient earlier will save you from suffering!"

Hua clenched her teeth and suppressed her anger.After all, in the current situation, apart from taking advantage of Xue Wuhen's special status, there is no way to make Emperor Cheng give up the idea of ​​marriage.

Xue Wuhen embraced Hua Zhong's slender waist with one hand, and raised half of the jade pendant with the other, "Does Emperor Cheng still recognize this?"

A hint of surprise appeared in Emperor Cheng's eyes, "Returning on a snowy night?"

"This is a low-grade piece of jade with cotton wool flaws, but there is no shortage of skilled craftsmen in the world. One of them is Zixu from the north. He got the idea to use the flaws in the jade to make snow and carve people who came back in the middle of the night. On top of that, there is Hengyang County's famous "Returning on a Snowy Night"!" Satisfied with the shock of everyone, Xue Wuhen took out the other half in her arms, "Now the snowy night returns to reunite , is the secret guidance of the Lord of Hengyang County. This is the gift of engagement between Miss Ning and me!"

Xue Wuhen's sharp eyes drifted past Meng Fei and the others, "But who else thinks it's unbelievable that Feng Xueye returns?"

After a long silence, Emperor Cheng laughed suddenly and said, "Since that's the case, Young Master Xue and Miss Ning San are going to make a great story through the ages!"

When everyone heard it, the stones in their hearts fell to the ground, and they echoed the beauty of the man and woman, a match made in heaven.

Only Ye Yongjia looked at Huazhong in Xue Wuhen's arms, with a gloomy expression on his face that lasted for a long time.Hua Zhong raised his eyes, and saw Yongjia's tender eyes like water had a slight bright spot, looking at him with a faint smile, which turned yellow under the bright palace lantern.

Xue Wuhen laughed off the hypocrisy of everyone's flattery, and said loudly, "Besides, this young master brought a gift to Emperor Cheng!" Beautifully patterned wooden box inlaid with precious stones.Everyone couldn't help but marvel and sigh, even the wooden box is so expensive, I don't know what precious things are in it?
Hua Zhong frowned, "What the hell are you doing?"

Xue Wuhen raised his eyebrows, and said with a sneer, "I will let you have no worries!"

Once the wooden box was opened, everyone's eyes could no longer move.Inside the box is an exquisite seven-treasure porcelain plated Sanskrit ruyi glazed vase, which contains all the seven Buddhist treasures.Liuli is the first of the "five famous utensils", and it is also a sacred object of Buddhism.Such a precious and exquisite vase full of religious meaning is probably hard to find in the world.

Ye Yongjia got up and couldn't help admiring, "'Shape and spirit are like glass' is the highest state of Buddhist cultivation. The craftsmanship of glass utensils is complicated, requiring dozens of processes, and mainly by hand. This Sanskrit Ruyi glass vase is not only precious in material, but also in craftsmanship. There are few in the world. I am afraid that there is no skilled craftsman in the world except for the sculptor who returns home on a snowy night."

"Nine thousand years old is right, this object is from the hands of Zixu from the north!" Xue Wuhen said with a smile, "Liu Li is a spiritual object in Buddhism for eliminating diseases and avoiding evil. Let the young master take the dowry gift of a woman from Chengguo!"

Ye Congjia smiled slightly with sharp eyes, "Master Xue is too polite!"

"This young master is just because he cares about Miss Ning San, not to be polite to anyone. These mortal things are worthless in my eyes, but Miss Ning San, this young master is bound to get!" His demeanor made everyone tremble, who else in the world has such an arrogant tone?

Emperor Cheng raised the corners of his mouth, and the vicissitudes in his eyes showed the complexity in his heart at the moment, "Master Xue cherishes my daughter of Chengguo so much, how could I let Third Miss Ning enter into a marriage contract with Young Master Xue?"

Hua Chong frowned, and looked at Chengdi puzzled. Chengdi wanted to use himself to win over the Snow Clan.Hua Zhong just stepped forward to refuse, but was imprisoned in the arms of Xue Wuhen.Xue Wuhen smiled as usual, and looked at Emperor Cheng without any strangeness.He said lightly, "It all depends on Chengdi!"

Emperor Cheng raised the corners of his mouth, "I will pass on my will, Ning's family is rich in flowers, beautiful and beautiful, with perfect morals and appearances, respectful and harmonious, endowed with beauty and beauty; inheriting the kindness and pure nature of my mother Hengyang, and succeeding Ning's famous family in Xiuzhong; On the eve of a thousand years old, Yanqing Guobang and Yu Xueshi are specially canonized as..."

Emperor Cheng paused for a while, looked at Hua Zhong and thought for a moment, and then said after a while, "Specially canonized as the Lord of Gaoyi County! The children of Yongcheng Ye's foreign surname will be blessed by the royal family all their lives! I respect you!"

As soon as Emperor Cheng finished speaking, Empress Han and Concubine Meng showed astonishment on their faces.Empress Han couldn't help but reminded with some embarrassment, "Your Majesty, I don't think it's inappropriate to confer Miss Ning San as the county lord. It's just that Gao Yi is the title of princess of the royal family. What's more, Miss Ning San is regarded as a descendant of the Ye family and will be blessed all her life." , and never before. In this way, I am afraid that the rules will be broken..."

Ning Xinian lowered his head and frowned, such a canonization was indeed unreasonable.

Emperor Cheng waved his hand, "It's okay! Even if there is no marriage contract with Young Master Xue, I still want to be canonized like this. Not to mention that she saved Jiu'er, just because she is Hengyang's daughter, she should share the glory and it should be hers! "

Empress Han remained silent, while Concubine Meng looked unkind.Xue Wuhen glanced at everyone's strange eyes, without fear, and smiled brightly, "So, thank you Emperor Cheng! Chonger, why don't you thank me?"

Hua Chongning brows slowly knelt down and bowed his head, "My daughter, thank you Majesty Long En!" Unspeakable feelings lingered in his heart, and Emperor Cheng's words, just because she is the daughter of Hengyang, should also share the glory, so it should be hers. .It really made Hua Zhong feel the sincerity in Emperor Cheng's heart, and the reason for this is probably unknown.

Huayan tightly clenched her fists, holding back tears, her face was red.Feng Qinyun reminded in a low voice, "Pay attention to your demeanor, you should be happy at this moment!"

"How can my mother make me happy? Now that Ning Huazhong has become the head of Gaoyi County, how can I let my daughter deal with herself?" Huayan's voice was choked up, trembling a little.

Feng Qinyun sneered, "She has become the head of Gaoyi County, so don't you think you will become the Seventh Highness's concubine? After a while, the daughters of the aristocratic family will perform, you have to know which one is more important!"

After listening to Feng Qinyun's words, Hua Yan weighed things up in her mind, "Daughter understands..."

Chengdi celebrity added Zhang Xiaoxi at the bottom alone, and Xue Wuhen and Huazhong sat in it.Hua Zhong frowns silently, Xue Wuhen holds Hua Zhong's hand all the time, with a detached smile on his face.Ye Yongjia looked at the two hands with crossed fingers, his heart tightened, and his smile was full of loneliness. "Young Master Xue has great sympathy for County Master Gaoyi! I hope that Young Master Xue will treat the County Master as always in the future, and don't let him down!"

"Naturally, I don't need to be reminded by Nine Thousand Years Old. This young master will give me everything for the rest of my life." Xue Wuhen's determined gaze made Ye Yongjia invisible.

Ye Yongjia avoided Xue Wuhen's gaze, and said lightly, "I hope so!"

Hua Zhong said impatiently, "Young Master Xue has many confidante friends, how can you give everything to me, Ning Huazhong? Please be careful with your words, Young Master Xue."

Xue Wuhen sneered, "Is Chong'er jealous?"

"Shameless!"

Xue Wuhen looked at Hua Zhong sharply, "I remember that you answered the same way last time! Ning Huazhong, you have to touch your own heart. You clearly care about Miss Yu they are talking about!"

Hua Zhong sneered, "Young Master Xue is pretending to be passionate! I am not interested in the constant squabbling between you and Ms. Yu."

"Oh? Why are you angry if you're not interested?" Xue Wuhen persisted, "Whether you admit it or not, you are not heartless to me!"

Hua Zhong snorted coldly and stopped talking.Only the nearest Ye Yongjia heard a few words of these words, and the others were still immersed in the performance of the children of the aristocratic family.

On the stage, Duan Huixian's sword rain was like a flower, and she was superb.The sword light is majestic, and the light figure flies by like a swallow under the palace lantern.

Empress Han couldn't help admiring, "I've heard people say that Miss Duan's swordsmanship is very good, and seeing her today really deserves her reputation."

"I'm afraid the queen doesn't know about one of Miss Duan's unique skills!" Concubine Meng said maliciously, "I heard that Miss Duan's swordsmanship is so precise that she can put pears on people's heads and slice pears into flowers."

"Oh? What Concubine Meng said is true?" Emperor Cheng seemed a little interested.

His Royal Highness Ye Xinjia sneered, "I have never been weak in martial arts, and there are many people with strong martial arts. If it is possible to pass through Yang with a hundred steps, it is not easy for a woman to do it. What's more, cutting pears into flowers? I don't believe in my mother." The concubine said it!"

Concubine Meng just smiled and said nothing.

The crown prince Ye Chunjia who was at the side said in a rare way, "Miss Duan was born in a general family, so she must have good swordsmanship. There are people out there who are beyond the sky. I think it's not impossible that I have seen it with my own eyes!"

He Xiaojin who was beside the prince frowned slightly, signaling the prince not to talk too much.

Duan Huixian couldn't help laughing when she heard everyone's discussion, "As long as someone dares to hit Sydney on the head, my daughter will naturally try her best!"

Ye Xinjia smiled and said, "Didn't His Royal Highness just think that this matter is possible? Now I have to support Miss Duan."

Hua Zhong thought about it, and gouged out Ye Xinjia's eyes. Ye Xinjia and Concubine Meng were obviously embarrassing Ye Chunjia.Now that Ye Chunjia is going up, if Duan Huixian's sword skills are not accurate, not only Ye Chunjia's life is in danger, but Duan Huixian is also to blame.If you don't go, it will be even more embarrassing.

A smile appeared on Ye Chunjia's resolute face, "Sixth brother is right, as a prince, you must trust your subjects even more." Ye Chunjia is honest, but he doesn't know the reason.

"His Royal Highness, wait a minute!" He Xiaojin smiled slightly at Duan Huixian, "The concubine thinks that Miss Duan's swordsmanship is accurate, and she is curious for a while, and wants to try it. Please give this opportunity to my concubine, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Ye Chunjia said in a low voice, "Don't mess around, in case you are hurt..."

He Xiaojin stopped Ye Chunjia with his eyes, "The prince is the crown prince of a country, so he must not put himself in danger."

"I don't believe that Miss Duan's swordsmanship can cut pears into flowers!" Ning Liuchen stood up and said.

Hua Zhong sneered in his heart, "I didn't expect that this matter would be full of twists and turns, and it was Ning Liuchen who came forward in the end. The relationship between them is unknown!"

Xue Wuhen smiled faintly, "The past, don't say it out loud, just to cause trouble!"

Ning Xinian frowned and reprimanded in a low voice, "Nonsense! Don't sit down yet!"

Ning Liuchen ignored it, and walked straight towards Duan Huixian, with an unruly smile on his face as if he didn't care.Dressed in a green shirt, she was elegant and handsome, and looked at He Xiaojin with crescent-like eyes, "As a woman, the Crown Princess must panic for a while. If Miss Duan's sword is delayed, wouldn't it spoil the emperor's interest?"

He Xiaojin looked at Ning Liuchen with complicated eyes, and said calmly, "What do you think, Mr. Ning?"

"Why don't you let the courtiers try?" Ning Liuchen said with a smile, "Miss Duan thinks the top of my head is suitable?"

Duan Huixian couldn't help giggling, "No problem!"

"That's good!" Ning Liuchen didn't care about it, and put the pear on top of his head leisurely, and put one in each of his hands.

Duan Huixian swung the sword flower on Ning Liuchen's hands and head.As the sword light danced, Hua Zhong couldn't help sighing, "If Duan Huixian is a man, I'm afraid one day he will go to battle to kill the enemy and show off his talents!"

After a flash of swords, Duan Huixian took Ning Liuchen's hand and moved Ning Liuchen forward, and the two of them formed a tacit posture of dancing swords together.The pears on the head were scattered because of the tilt, but everyone was surprised that the scattered pears were pure white pear blossoms floating all over the ground...

Duan Huixian took Ning Liuchen's hand and spun around, the sword intersected between the two of them, mixed with pieces of falling pear blossoms, and with a refreshing pear fragrance...

"Good!" The crowd applauded.Only He Xiaojin looked deeply at that person, with uncertain tears in his eyes.

Emperor Cheng looked at Ning Liuchen, "Is this the son of the Ning family?"

"Exactly!" Empress Han laughed, "I went to the border at a young age, I didn't expect to grow up so much now, and still have such a playful personality!"

Emperor Cheng nodded, "I didn't have this kind of wildness when I was young! I remember that when Ning Liuchen was young, he played with Jiu'er and the others in the palace. He was always honest and cautious."

Ning Xinian hurriedly got up and said shamelessly, "Thanks to the emperor for remembering, dogs are getting more and more unruly, and I hope the emperor will forgive me!"

"It doesn't matter! The Prime Minister is worrying too much, but I think Liuchen's fearlessness is very good! He is a good man." Emperor Cheng looked at Ning Liuchen who was so calm and admiring.

Empress Han's eyes brightened, and she said with a smile, "Does your majesty still remember the injury to Xinyang's forehead? The concubine remembers that King Xin of Dingguo now came with the envoy and lived in the palace for a long time. King Xin and Ning The young master looks very similar, and the concubine felt that there was such a miracle in the world. Later, it was King Xin who accidentally tripped Xinyang, but it was indeed Mr. Ning who was embarrassed by the envoy of Dingguo and brought him to the palace to apologize. Concubine At that time, I really couldn't laugh or cry, I thought it was a naughty child. Now I have grown up!"

Emperor Cheng couldn't help laughing, "It's true! It's true!"

Ning Liuchen was suddenly embarrassed, and said with a smile, "I think the world's mishaps never stop, and this anecdote is also a fate!"

He Xiaojin stood up and said with a smile, "Speaking of fate, my daughter-in-law thought of a beautiful thing, and asked my father, queen and queen to make it happen."

Emperor Cheng had always been generous to He Xiaojin, Ye Chunjia was kind and blunt by nature, if He Xiaojin hadn't been by his side to assist, he might have become the soul of several other highnesses.Emperor Cheng knew in his heart that the crown prince might change hands sooner or later.So I feel a little more love for this single-minded daughter-in-law.

Emperor Cheng smiled and said, "But it's okay to say! As long as it's a good thing, how can I not make it happen?"

He Xiaojin smiled like water, "My daughter-in-law's younger brother is reaching the age of marriage, and the fourth lady of the Ning family is gentle and pleasant, intelligent and quick-witted, and has a good sense of advancement and retreat. She is also in love with my daughter-in-law's younger brother, He Xiaomin, and they are deeply in love with each other." .Today's Qixi Festival, shouldn't my father take advantage of the beautiful scenery on this beautiful day to accomplish beautiful things?"

Emperor Cheng understood, "Where are He Xiaomin and Fourth Miss Ning?"

Hua Zhong saw a man in plain clothes and wide sleeves walking out of the crowd. He was slender, handsome and handsome, with a sense of grandeur and peace in his eyes.He must have inherited the tenderness of Mrs. He and He Xiaojin, and he is really a good man worth entrusting!

Xue Wuhen jokingly said in a low voice, "This is the husband-in-law you have spent all your time picking for Miss Fourth? It's nothing more than that! It's far worse than this young master." Then he said, "But it's true, Fourth Miss Miss is also slightly worse than son-in-law, naturally husband-in-law will not be stronger than this young master!"

Hua Zhong couldn't help being speechless about Xue Wuhen's thoughts, and gave Xue Wuhen a hard look...
