Chapter 667 Marriage Proposal

Chongming Palace.

Inside and outside the palace, tables and chairs have already been prepared.

Seats are also lined up.

The ceremonial officer stood at the door, personally greeted the distinguished guests, and led them to sit down in their respective seats.

The princes of the neighboring princes, high-level officials from the five sects, and members of the royal family all entered the palace.

The rest of the guests can only sit outside along the seats on both sides of the red carpet.

When the distinguished guests in front sat down and began to enjoy the royal hospitality, the people behind were still walking towards Chongming Palace one by one.

The members of the Qin family followed behind.

When turning into the gate of Chongming Palace, Luo Qingzhou suddenly saw the slender figure in Tsing Yi under the big tree at the intersection, aloof and cold.

Bai Ling’s gaze also looked over.

Linghu Qingzhu stood under the tree, looking away, with a cold face, as if waiting for someone from another direction.

When everyone in the Qin family passed by her, she still looked into the distance with no waves on her face.

Song Ruyue glanced at her, her gaze stayed on her towering chest for a moment, then looked down at her own chest, and left silently, muttering something in her mouth, she didn’t know what she was talking about.

When Luo Qingzhou passed by her, she was still looking in another direction without squinting.

Luo Qingzhou didn’t dare to look more, didn’t dare to stop talking to her, and continued to walk forward.

But at this time, a cold voice suddenly came from his ears: “Chu Feiyang, Master Uncle hopes that you can come to the palace today to win glory for our Lingxiao Sect. The Huashan faction is also here, and we must defeat him. Zuo got drunk and left, and I will go out of the palace to pick you up when the martial arts competition is about to start.”

Luo Qingzhou was taken aback when he heard the words, but still didn’t turn his head to look at her.

But Bai Ling’s crisp voice suddenly came from behind: “This sister, what’s your name?”

Luo Qingzhou’s face froze, he stopped, and looked back.

Bai Ling stopped in front of Linghu Qingzhu, and looked at her with a smile on his face, looking innocent and innocent.

Linghu Qingzhu withdrew his gaze from afar, looked at her coldly, and said, “What’s the matter?”

Bai Ling smiled and said: “It’s nothing, I just want to talk to my sister because I see her good-looking.”

Linghu Qingzhu took a look at her delicate pink face and those harmless eyes, and said expressionlessly, “I don’t want to talk to you.”

Bai Ling blinked and said, “Why?”

Linghu Qingzhu gave her a cold look, ignored her, turned around, and walked straight into the palace.

When she passed by Luo Qingzhou, she still looked at the front without squinting, as if she didn’t know him.

Bai Ling looked at her lonely back, pursed her mouth and snorted, walked to Luo Qingzhou and muttered: “Isn’t it just bigger there? What’s the air?”

Then he said: “She is still developing, sooner or later she will be better than her, hum!”

Luo Qingzhou ignored her and continued walking forward.

Bai Ling hurriedly followed behind, and asked chirpingly: “Master, do you really not know her? Is it because she is so old that you keep peeping at her? Master, you… um…”

Luo Qingzhou suddenly stretched out a finger, blocked her chattering little mouth, and threatened in a low voice: “Speak less, if someone finds out that you talk too much later, you will be pulled out and cut off your tongue.”

Bai Ling opened his eyes wide, fixed in place, and opened his mouth slightly, wondering if he was frightened.

“Bo~”

Luo Qingzhou took his finger out of her mouth and walked forward quickly.

“Bah! Bah! Bah!”

Bai Ling froze on the spot for a few breaths, then suddenly spat, and while wiping his small mouth with his sleeve, he chased after Wuwu and said, “Guye, how could you…”

Luo Qingzhou turned his head and glared at her.

Bai Ling trembled in fright, and immediately suppressed the words in his mouth.

A group of people entered the palace, and after being greeted by an etiquette officer, they sat down in the last row of the courtyard.

On the road leading to the palace in the middle, there is a red carpet. The roadsides on both sides of the red carpet are filled with tables in turn. At this time, the tables are full of people.

Of course, only two people can sit in one seat, and the rest stand behind.

Qin Wenzheng and Song Ruyue sat down.

Luo Qingzhou, Qin Chuan, Bai Ling and Mei Er stood behind them.

Tea and pastries were served on the table first.

Everyone stood in the square for most of the day. Naturally, they were hungry and thirsty at this time, so they all talked in a low voice while drinking tea and eating.

In the palace, the sharp voice of the **** came faintly.

The emperor and the queen mother arrived and walked out from behind the curtain.

The distinguished guests in the palace immediately stood up, bowed their heads, and paid homage respectfully.

People outside the house, although envious, did not dare to go in at will, and could only stretch their necks to peek inside.

At this time, an old **** came out, came to the back, took out the list in his hand, and read: “Jiangnan talented Liu Sansi, Zheng Yinong, Bai Yulou, Yujing talented Zhang Hua, talented girl Su Wanqiu, please Come into the palace with us.”

At this time, behind the seats on the left and right sides, several scholars in Confucian robes immediately came out, followed behind him with excitement and nervousness, and entered the hall.

After they all left, Song Ruyue murmured in a low voice: “Master, why is there no Qingzhou from our family?”

Qin Wenzheng looked at the hall calmly, but did not speak.

At this time, Nangong Xueyi, who was wearing a snow-white dress, walked out of the hall quickly, and waved excitedly: “Mr. Luo, follow me in.”

Just as Luo Qingzhou was about to walk towards her, someone grabbed her wide sleeve robe suddenly. Turning her head to look, Bai Ling blinked and pleaded pitifully: “My lord, can you take Xiao Bai Ling with you? Bai Ling also wants to go in.”

Luo Qingzhou frowned slightly, and just about to refuse, Nangong Xueyi who came over immediately said: “Bailing, follow me and be my maid, you can go in.”

When Bai Ling heard this, he immediately smiled, and immediately let go of Luo Qingzhou’s sleeve, went over and grabbed her sleeve affectionately, and said flatteringly, “Princess Xueyi, you are so kind.”

Nangong Xueyi smiled and said, “Just stop talking nonsense later.”

Bai Ling immediately covered his mouth and said, “Yeah, I just don’t talk.”

Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and followed behind.

Nangong Xueyi led them into the palace, walked directly behind a row of seats on the right, and stopped behind Nangong County King and Princess.

Nangong Meijiao and two maids were also standing there.

And the talented scholars who just came in also stood quietly in the corner.

At this time, in the main hall, the neighboring princes were making an introduction.

On the high platform.

Emperor Nangong Yang sat on the dragon chair, covered by a bead curtain in the back room, sitting the graceful queen mother and the eldest princess in a fiery red dress, only their clothes and outlines could be seen, but their faces could not be seen clearly.

The dishes have already started to be served on the table, and there are all kinds of delicious delicacies.

The aroma of vegetables and wine wafted through the entire hall.

This time a total of five neighboring princes came, namely Damoer, the third prince of Badan Kingdom, Gray, the fifth prince of the Great Meng Empire, Lang Xiao, the second prince of Beicang Kingdom, Jin Shitai, the prince of Gaoqi Kingdom, and the seventh prince of Loulan Kingdom. Prince Lou Zijun.

Behind each prince stood several literati and warriors.

At this time, Prince Gray of the Great Mongolian Empire was introducing the number one talented scholar and number one warrior of the Great Mongolian Empire behind him, and he looked quite proud.

The Great Mongolian Empire is located in the north of Dayan, and its land area is even larger than Dayan. It is the most powerful of these five countries, and it is not inferior to Dayan.

Between the Great Mongol Empire and Dayan, there are often some small frictions, but they are both afraid of each other’s strength, so they all restrain themselves and focus on negotiation.

So this time the Great Mongol Empire came to congratulate, and by the way, proposed marriage with Dayan. From the Queen Mother to the courtiers, Dayan strongly agreed.

Of course, as for the marriage partners, there are quite a few controversies.

Some people are in favor of the eldest princess getting married, while others strongly oppose it.

Those ministers or nobles who objected, most of them were old ministers, all reported that the eldest princess is the treasure of the Yan Dynasty, a military genius, and must not be cheap to the Mongolian Empire and so on.

In addition to the Great Mongolian Empire, the Badan Kingdom is located in the west of Dayan, and its position is also extremely important. At the same time, its national strength should not be underestimated.

Beicangguo has a feud with Dayan, and hopes that through this marriage, the war will be turned into friendship.

As for Gaoqi Kingdom and Loulan Kingdom, they are both small countries. Neither the Queen Mother nor the courtiers would agree to marry the Eldest Princess to them.

But after all, the other party is also a neighboring country and friendly country, and it is very important to have a good relationship. Therefore, after discussion, the king and ministers of Dayan unanimously decided that they can send other princesses or princesses to make peace with them and win them over.

“Your Majesty, this is Su Tu, the number one talented man in our Great Mongolian Empire. He has loved your Dayan culture since he was a child, and he is proficient in your Dayan’s poems, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting…”

“This is Ashlan, the number one warrior of the younger generation of the Great Mongolian Empire. He has been gifted with great strength since he was a child. He is only 20 years old this year. He has just broken through the mid-term cultivation of a great martial artist. He just won the first place in the martial arts test last year… ”

Prince Gray of the Great Mongolian Empire spoke the language of Dayan, which was not very fluent. After the introduction, he said with a smile: “They have always admired the literati and warriors of Dayan. Apart from being prosperous, I also want to exchange ideas with the literati and warriors of your country, and exchange the culture and martial arts of the two countries…”

“At the same time, my father asked me to bring some gifts, congratulations on the prosperity of your country, and hope that the friendship between our two countries will last forever…”

After he finished speaking, Nangong Yang politely said some words of gratitude, and then said: “The exchange of culture and martial arts between the two countries has begun since the time of our ancestors. Naturally, I will not let the fifth prince down this time…”

Grey heard the words, satisfied and withdrew.

Then, the third prince Damore of Badan Kingdom also came forward to offer blessings and gifts, then bowed his head and asked sincerely: “I hope that Your Majesty can allow the eldest princess of your country to marry me in Badan Kingdom. I have heard about the unparalleled demeanor of your eldest princess for a long time, and I have admired it for a long time. This time, I came here specifically to propose a marriage… If Your Majesty agrees, I, Badan, would like to present the city of Luoyan, which has been disputed between our two countries for a long time, as a token of sincerity At the same time, I, Badan, will help your country, conquer the ten countries in the Western Regions, and have a long-lasting friendship with your country, and will always be a country of brothers!”

As soon as these words came out, not only the eyes of Lord Yan and his ministers lit up, but also the prince of the Great Meng Empire and the other three princes also had different expressions.

If this is the return, then it is really sincere.

Even so, Nangong Yang still didn’t make a statement in advance, thanked him very politely, and let him sit down for a while.

Then, Lang Xiao, the second prince of Beicang Kingdom, Jin Shitai, the prince of Gaoqi Kingdom, and Lou Zijun, the seventh prince of Loulan Kingdom, all came out one after another to offer congratulations and gifts. At the same time, they put forward their own requests, hoping to marry Dayan .

The second prince of Beicang Kingdom, Lang Xiao, also directly said that he has long admired Dayan’s eldest princess and hoped to marry her.

As for the prince of Gaoqi and the seventh prince of Loulan, they did not specify that they wanted the eldest princess, because they knew that with their national strength, they could not compete with the other three kingdoms, so they settled for the second best, hoping to send a random princess to marry That’s it.

As for whether it is a real princess or a fake princess, they probably don’t care.

It is worth mentioning that Jin Shitai, the prince of Gaoqi Kingdom, speaks Dayan language very fluently, and is himself a very talented literati.

He even directly proposed: “I heard that there is a girl named Changsun Wan’er next to the Queen Mother, who is unparalleled in literary talent. I hope I can meet and exchange poems.”

The implication is that if Changsun Waner is what he wants, he wants to marry Changsun Waner directly.

Nangong Yang still didn’t give him a clear answer.

Eldest Sun Waner is not a princess or princess, but she is the empress dowager’s own niece, and she is very fond of the empress dowager, so he dare not make her own claims.

The seventh prince of the Loulan Kingdom, Lou Zijun, who was born in a jade tree facing the wind, has a personable demeanor. It is said that he is both civil and military, and he can also speak Dayan language very fluently.

I don’t know if he got the news in advance, knowing that the king and officials of Dayan intend to marry the princess of Nanguo County’s palace to him, so his gaze has been looking at Nanguo’s palace.

However, there are two princesses there, with quite similar eyebrows and eyes, they are both first-class beauties, one looks cold and arrogant, the other looks gentle, I don’t know who it is.

So he has been looking at the pair of beauties and sisters from time to time, feeling quite happy.

For his gift and request, Nangong Yang also thanked him with a smile on his face, but he didn’t agree clearly.

Because the royal family needs to win over, not just a small country like him.

After the five princes finished speaking, Nangong Yang stood up from the dragon chair and personally helped to introduce the members of the Five Great Yan sects.

Dayan’s five sects are Jinchan Temple, Qingyun Temple, Xianyun Pavilion, Lingxiaozong, and Huashan Sect.

The suzerains of the five sects gathered together today, looking quite powerful.

Even the prince of the Great Mongolian Empire, who was rather rebellious just now, looked dignified and polite when he saw the masters of the five sects.

While they were greeting each other, Nangong Meijiao quietly pushed Nangong Xueyi away from behind Nangong Junwang, then approached Luo Qingzhou, and said in a low voice: “Did you see that the prince of Loulan Kingdom has been secretly Stare at me.”

Luo Qingzhou whispered: “Yes.”

The finger in Nangong Meijiao’s sleeve hooked the hand in his wide-sleeved robe, and said in a low voice, “Are you angry?”

Luo Qingzhou ignored her.

At this time, Emperor Nangongyang was introducing the Lingxiao Sect to the five princes. After the introduction, he suddenly looked at Fairy Zixia and asked, “Sect Master Zixia, I heard that your sect has recruited a new genius disciple. What does his name look like?” Chu Feiyang, didn’t you bring it today?”

Fairy Zixia said indifferently: “He has something to do at the moment, so come over later.”

Nan Gongyang smiled and said: “It’s good if you can come here. Later, these five princes want to compete with us Great Yan warriors. I don’t have any good candidates in this palace. I can only rely on your five sects.”

Fairy Zixia said: “The students of Dragon and Tiger Academy are no worse than the disciples of our five major sects.”

Nan Gongyang smiled and said: “Fairy also knows that our Dean Li is very strict in management, and he doesn’t want to let the disciples of the academy come over, hey…”

Fairy Zixia smiled and did not speak again.

Nan Gongyang looked at the woman in green behind her again, and said with a smile: “This is the Lord Linghu of Guizong Jianfeng, I have long admired him.”

Linghu Qingzhu still looked calm, and lowered his head slightly.

At this time, Nangong Meijiao’s fingers, under the cover of the sleeve robe, reached into Luo Qingzhou’s sleeve robe again, and began to scratch his palm, and said in a low voice: “Good brother, your uncle seems to recognize you. you, don’t you?”

Behind the two of them, Bai Ling in a pink skirt was standing there quietly, looking at the sleeves of the two next to each other, with moonlight shining in his eyes.

At this time, everyone has finished their introductions.

Nan Gongyang returned to the dragon chair and announced the start of the feast with a smile on his face.

The **** sent a message to the outside with a high-pitched voice.

The musical instrument line that had been waiting in the corner for a long time began to play music.

A group of graceful dancers in long-sleeved dance skirts, bowed their heads, moved in lotus steps, lined up neatly from the door, and began to dance to the music…

Under the gauze skirt, she didn’t even wear shoes, revealing pairs of white and tender girls’ jade feet.

At this moment, Luo Qingzhou obviously felt several pairs of eyes suddenly looking at him.

There was a sudden itch in the palm of the hand, and the cold snort of the princess came from next to the ear: “Does it look good?”

Luo Qingzhou ignored her, turned around suddenly, and found that Bai Ling, who was standing behind, was also looking at him, and narrowed his eyes slightly, with a rather strange expression on his face.

Seeing his gaze, Bai Ling’s gaze passed by him, and looked at the dancer who was dancing in the middle, quietly and calmly.

Luo Qingzhou took a step back suddenly, dodging the teasing of the princess’s fingers, and suddenly held Bai Ling’s little hand behind him with the hand in his sleeve, and said in a low voice: “Is it good? Remember to look carefully, and when you go back, jump to show it to my uncle.” .”

Bai Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, motionless and silent.

At this time, Nangong Yang picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: “There is wine and poetry to add to the fun. Didn’t the princes just say that they want to discuss poetry? Now let’s come up with a question first. Of course, I have to come up with one The lottery is.”

As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant from his bosom, and said with a smile: “The winner of the first game, I will reward him with this Qilin jade.”

The following guests all cheered and cheered.

At this time, behind the beaded curtain in the back room, the Queen Mother’s voice came: “Your Majesty, let Wan’er go out and try too. If Wan’er wins this unicorn jade, you can’t ask for it back.”

Nan Gongyang laughed, and said: “Don’t worry, Queen Mother, if Sister Wan’er wins, it will belong to her naturally. I am not such a stingy person.”

Then he suddenly looked at the bead curtain at the back, and said with a smile, “Miss Huang, do you want to send someone out to have fun?”

There is only one chapter today. I feel dizzy and have a sore throat. I really can’t write.

Thanks to another leader of “Pan Shao 520” for a reward.

But I can only owe more, and I will make it up when I am finished…

I hope everyone will not give a reward, I really can’t write…
