Chapter 419: and loved ones
Chapter 419 and loved ones
When Ruan Youqing and his party arrived at Changcui Palace, almost all those who were eligible to come had already arrived.
The empress wearing the blue phoenix gown was talking with the Seventh Princess Nangong Liuyun, and sitting beside her were two unfamiliar faces.
Although she is unfamiliar, her identity is not difficult to guess.
The one on the left in a lilac lavender dress has more delicate features, somewhat similar to the third prince Li Si. And the one on the right with pomegranate red, bright and flamboyant, should be the concubine of the fourth prince Li Han.
Because Ruan Youqing was accompanying the Empress Dowager Ning Guogong and his wife, everyone immediately stood up and saluted when they saw their arrival.
The empress came down from the seat to greet her.
Ruan Youqing still has a good impression of the new queen, Su Yuan.
Therefore, when she came to her side, Ruan Youqing was already smiling and ready to curtsy.
"The emperor specially allowed you to enter the palace without saluting." After speaking, the queen immediately reached out to hold Ruan Youqing's hand gently.
Seeing that the queen was persistent, Ruan Youqing didn't insist anymore.
Li Ange, who had been following behind Ruan Youqing and the others, moved a few steps to the side with an unnatural expression.
Although her relationship with Su Yuan was pretty good before, but now...it's a bit embarrassing after all.
Xiao Deyin was always by the side, so he naturally noticed Li Ange's expression. Feeling sour, he took the initiative to go to Li Ange's side and held her hand, and then said in a low voice, "You can sit with me later."
At the same time, the queen mother and Mrs. Ning Guogong were about to follow the queen and walk forward, but Ruan Youqing also stopped.
"Huh? You girls don't follow?" The queen mother was slightly surprised.
Ruan Youqing smiled and said: "We can't sit still, if we accidentally lose our manners...it would be bad to provoke the ridicule of princesses from other countries. So please forgive me, Empress Dowager, we won't go to accompany you."
The empress dowager narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, and looked at Li Ange, who was rarely quiet at the side.
In an instant...I understood everything.
"Well, the Ai family will not restrain you." After the queen mother finished speaking, she left with the queen and Mrs. Ningguo.
After they left, Ruan Youqing and the others immediately found a seat and sat down.
"Youqing, you just..." Li Ange said awkwardly.
Ruan Youqing sighed inaudibly and said softly: "An Ge, the Empress is a good person."
"I know...but...just...not used to it..." Li Ange lowered his eyes and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Ruan Youqing felt all kinds of emotions in his heart.
If...if Li Ange knew that her mother, the queen and the emperor's brother had a relationship with her today...
After taking a breath, Ruan Youqing raised his hand and pressed the center of his brows with some annoyance.
That's all, I can't think about it anymore.
Only she and Gu Changan know about this.
And it is not easy for her and Li Ange to be able to have what they are today. Therefore, she will never easily reveal the truth in front of Li Ange.
Just after Ruan Youqing gradually came back to her senses, she felt belatedly...someone was watching her.
When she pretended to be nonchalant and poured tea for Xiao Deyin, she immediately followed that line of sight.
It turned out to be... Nangong Liuyun's side...
If she read correctly, it was not Nangong Liuyun who had been staring at her, but...a black masked figure following her.
That person... knows her?
And... when she looked over, the man immediately looked away in panic.
After Ruan Youqing frowned and rubbed his arms, he stretched out his hand in a daze and poured himself a cup of tea.
As a result, someone patted his hand lightly.
"You are pregnant, how can you think about drinking tea!" Xiao Deyin looked at her with an angry face, and then took the teacup from her hand.
Li Ange also reacted very quickly and turned around to order the maid waiting next to him to bring a bowl of white fungus soup.
Seeing that these two people care more than herself, Ruan Youqing's heart warms up.
At this moment, the emperor finally came slowly.
Waiting for the arrival of the emperor, this palace banquet will officially begin.
The beginning was undoubtedly some scene talk. After the emperor took the lead in drinking three times, he finally brought up the reason for this palace banquet.
"The seven princesses of Yuhuan Kingdom are beautiful, virtuous and gentle. It is an honor to be married to our Ningguo, but there are three of us in Ningguo who can match you..."
Three digits? Ruan Youqing narrowed her eyes slightly, a little puzzled.
After discussing with the emperor, Gu Changan is planning to let Li Qian participate? ? ?
After hearing the emperor's words, Nangong Liuyun smiled shyly, and said in a flattering voice, "Since the last time Liuyun came here, he has felt that your country has outstanding people, whether male or female, they are all outstanding. So... Liuyun's Marriage is up to you, Your Majesty. Whoever you want Liu Yun to marry...Liu Yun...you can marry whoever you want, and you will never refuse."
Looking at each other's eyes, Ruan Youqing immediately remembered Nangong Liuyun's ability.
Charm can make men or some women hard to escape her deliberate "seduction".
And the sentence just now... Marry whoever you want her to marry...
Look at her eyes...
Is it impossible...
Because they became interested in their... emperor?
But the emperor is almost old enough to be her father...
Those who also thought of this were the concubines who were going to watch the fun.
Because Nangong Liuyun was only looking at the emperor, the others were not confused by her.
「This princess... wants...to be...by the emperor...」
"Shh, the emperor hasn't spoken yet, so don't talk nonsense and cause trouble.
At the same time, the emperor, who was stared at by Nangong Liuyun, couldn't help but raised his head and wiped a drop of cold sweat from his temples.
Before coming here, Gu Changan briefly mentioned to him that this princess can charm people's hearts. Therefore, the two made precautions in advance.
At this time, the emperor is still awake.
After coughing lightly, the emperor said in a low and unhurried voice: "Since the seventh princess said so, then I will directly express my thoughts, I think... Prince Wei's son is quite suitable for you. "
"Wei Prince's son?" Nangong Liuyun's coquettish expression froze for a moment, and then his eyes widened in astonishment.
Even Ruan Youqing, who was at the side, was a little surprised.
She did not expect...the emperor and the others would choose...Wei Prince's son...Wei Jue...
The emperor stretched out his hand to signal Wei Jue to come forward, and then continued: "Although the king of Wei is a king with a different surname, I feel like brotherhood with him."
"But..." Nangong Liuyun glanced at Wei Jue unwillingly.
Although... this one looks pretty good...
But the difference from her ideal is still too big!
I originally thought that the prince was the worst, but...but...
Just now I have spoken out! With so many people watching, she couldn't regret it at all.
The emperor didn't seem to see Nangong Liuyun's displeasure at this time, and continued with a loving elder appearance: "Our Wei Jue is suave and talented, and we are very suitable for the seventh princess."
Nangong Liuyun pursed his lips, and when he was about to say something, a deep and lazy voice sounded at this moment.
"Your Majesty, with the status of the Seventh Princess, you must be sure of what you say."
"Hmm..." Nangong Liuyun forced a smile, and continued: "What Master Shoufu said is, Liuyun...but it's up to the emperor to decide."
In fact, it is not a humiliation for the high-ranking prince Wei to marry her, so she has no reason to refute at all.
Can only… agree to…
"Well, tomorrow I will ask someone to calculate the auspicious days of the zodiac, to see which day is suitable for giving you a marriage, but don't worry, Seventh Princess, before you give the marriage, you must tell Emperor Yuhuan."
