After reading the whole family's minds, the eldest daughter awakened

From what Emperor Dongzhou said, he agreed to the marriage, but he might not necessarily choose Gongsun Qiao for the marriage.

He probably also saw that Gongsun Qiao was on Chu Wangchen's side. If he wanted to pave the way for Chu Jinhong, he would definitely have to be someone loyal to Chu Jinhong.

The previous request for Chu Wangchen to take Gongsun Qiao to Nanchen for marriage was actually just a pretense and did not really allow Gongsun Qiao to marry to Nanchen.

The royal family of Dongzhou Kingdom is different from the royal family of Nanchen Kingdom. Emperor Dongzhou not only has many sons, but also more daughters, including several princesses of the right age.

"Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is in love with Princess Anping. This time, I have also sent me to propose marriage for him. I hope Your Majesty will grant her permission."

Li Youwei's tone was firm. She was telling Emperor Dongzhou that if it were anyone else, this marriage would not be possible.

Emperor Dongzhou looked at Li Youwei with a faint smile, "General Li, nothing is absolute. In Dongzhou, I have the final say."

Emperor Dongzhou's threat was very strong, and the emperor's aura was full. If it were anyone else, his legs might be weak from fear, but Li Youwei was calm and composed.

"Emperor Dongzhou is right, but I only obey the orders of my Majesty."

Li Youwei did not retreat at all, which made Emperor Dongzhou very dissatisfied, with anger on his face.

Just when he was about to slap the table, Queen Murong held her hand down first.

"Your Majesty, Princess Anping has stayed in Nanchen for so long. It is understandable that His Majesty Nanchen would like her. Please don't embarrass General Li."

Chu Jinhong also echoed, "Father, what the mother said is true. Besides, this is His Majesty Nanchen's wish, and General Li is also acting on orders."

After saying that, he showed what he thought was a charming smile to Li Youwei.

Emperor Dongzhou's face was still not very good, but he was no longer so excited.

Empress Murong ordered the dancer to perform in the palace to lighten the atmosphere.

Emperor Dongzhou's expression softened and he raised the wine cup first.

"General Li, welcome to Dongzhou. Let's drink this cup together."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Youwei drank the wine in one gulp.

The atmosphere in the entire banquet hall became relaxed, the songs and dances changed a few times, and everyone became less interested.

Empress Murong waved her hand to ask the dancer to leave, and then whispered something into Emperor Dongzhou's ear. Emperor Dongzhou only smiled and replied, letting her figure it out.

With Emperor Dongzhou's permission, Empress Murong glanced around the banquet hall with a smile.

"Is there any young lady from any family who would like to come forward and perform?"

It is a very rare opportunity to perform talents in front of the palace. The ladies and gentlemen of the minister's family who came to the banquet this time have been looking forward to this opportunity. Now that the Queen mentioned it, everyone signed up very actively.

The first person to appear was Qin Shuiyue, the daughter of the prime minister of Dongzhou Kingdom. She is now fifteen years old. She is beautiful, good at singing and dancing, and has many talents. She is known as the most talented and beautiful woman in Dongzhou Kingdom.

Many people secretly felt that she would definitely become a princess in the future.

"The Queen, I am not very talented, so I would like to play a song for everyone."

Queen Murong nodded. This song suited the situation.

"That's right."

With Empress Murong's permission, Qin Shuiyue gently sat down behind the piano table, adjusted the strings a few times, and then began her playing.

Qin Shuiyue is worthy of being the most talented woman in Eastern Continent. She is really good at playing the piano. The sound of the piano gives people an immersive feeling. The emotions in it are passionate, unrestrained and lingering, making people want to indulge in it.

Li Youwei didn't know much about the piano at first, but Nalan Ling had been nurturing her. Although her piano skills were not top-notch, she was very good at appreciating them. Miss Qin's piano skills were actually on par with Nalan Ling's. up and down.

Chu Jinhong was also fascinated by what he heard, his eyes fixed on Qin Shuiyue and stopped moving. Queen Murong coughed slightly, and then he came back to his senses, and reluctantly set his eyes on Li Youwei.

Li Youwei was listening carefully to the piano when she felt a line of sight staring at her.

She followed her gaze and saw Chu Jinhong looking at her affectionately. Seeing Li Youwei looking at her, he smiled. Maybe he wanted the effect to be charming yet handsome, but unfortunately, in Li Youwei's view, he was just greasy.

Queen Murong saw the two people looking at each other, and her eyes smiled even more.

"Zi Tong, what are you happy about?"

Emperor Dongzhou happened to catch the smile in Queen Murong's eyes and asked.

Empress Murong tenderly filled a glass of wine for Emperor Dongzhou, "Your Majesty, Ah Hong has grown so big that it's time to recruit more people into the mansion."

After listening to Queen Murong's words, Emperor Dongzhou glanced at Chu Jinhong and frowned, "There aren't enough concubines in his mansion?"

Although Emperor Dongzhou doted on Chu Jinhong, he disapproved of the bastard things he did outside.

"Your Majesty, my concubine means that it is time for Ah Hong to take care of the main concubine and the concubine. If there is a powerful concubine in charge, Ah Hong will not go out and cause mischief."

Emperor Dongzhou expressed doubts about Queen Murong's words, "Zitong really thinks that a woman can control him?"

Chu Jinhong was brought up by Empress Murong, and she didn't even care about it, let alone the ladies in Zhoucheng.

"Your Majesty, there really is a person. If she marries Ahong as his concubine, she will definitely be able to control him."

Emperor Dongzhou followed Empress Murong's gaze and happened to meet Li Youwei's gaze.

When someone caught him peeping, Emperor Dongzhou hurriedly raised a glass to cover it up.

Emperor Dongzhou turned his gaze back to Queen Murong, "Zitong, is the person you are talking about Li Youwei?"

"Your Majesty, it's her. She can kill someone in an army of ten thousand people. Such a woman, she will definitely be able to control Hiro."

Emperor Dongzhou nodded, "What you said makes sense, but she is Emperor Nanchen's right-hand man. How could Emperor Nanchen agree to marry her to A Hong?"

"Your Majesty, no matter how powerful she is, she is just a woman. Sooner or later she will get married. Hong is excellent in all aspects."

"Well, you are right. I have no objection to Hiro marrying her as his concubine. You can do whatever you want."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Qin Shuiyue retired after playing the piano. The second person who came on stage was a woman in red dance clothes. She performed a dance.

Those who dared to perform in front of the hall today were all talented. After dancing, they also received warm applause.

Before the third person came on stage to perform, Chu Jinhong stood up from his seat.

He saluted Emperor Dongzhou and Queen Murong, "Father, Emperor and Mother, I will perform a sword dance for you next."

"Go, don't be embarrassed." They say emperors are ruthless, but Emperor Dongzhou gave all his feelings to Empress Murong and Chu Jinhong. These words sounded disgusting, but in fact they contained deep fatherly love.

"Father, don't worry, I will definitely amaze everyone."

Chu Jinhong is full of confidence. He has been preparing for today's sword dance for many days, and he will surely dazzle everyone.

Chu Jinhong walked down the high platform with a confident look on his face. Under the expectant eyes of everyone, he thrust the tip of his sword forward, then froze, flicked his hair, and glanced at everyone present.

Everyone quickly realized what Chu Jinhong meant and clapped and applauded.

Chu Jinhong was quite satisfied with everyone's reaction. He flipped his wrist and started dancing.
