Chapter 1144 The rumors are all fake? (two more)

Although she said she wasn't jealous, Lin Yuan's actions made it very clear: Want to see other women?dream!
Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng have been the focus of everyone's attention since they appeared in the hall. At this time, they were playing and joking, and naturally became the protagonists in the hall.

However, even if some people are envious and others are jealous, very few people show hostility.

You know, to them, Xia Zheng is a god-like existence, even if there was no Lin Yuan at the beginning, Su Qiuyu would have decided to leave long ago.

It's just that now that it's Lin Yuan, they're even more useless.

On the contrary, some people gathered in twos and threes to discuss Su Qiuyu. Hearing the voices that came from them even though they lowered their voices, Lin Yuan was also a little curious about what kind of posture Su Qiuyu would appear in later.

"I'm afraid they will be disappointed. Su Qiuyu probably won't come today. Open your mouth."

Xia Zheng said something inexplicably, making Lin Yuan at a loss for a while, so she opened her mouth to listen to his words.

A coolness is stuffed into the mouth, it is plump, juicy and peeled grapes.

Participating in the palace banquet is good, you can eat fruits that you can't eat outside the palace in this season.Although there are a lot of off-season vegetables and fruits in my uncle's greenhouse, but if you can eat free ones, who will eat your own?

"These grapes are not very tasty, not as good as the ones in uncle's greenhouse."

Lin Yuan spat out the grape seeds, muttered something, then turned her head and asked, "You said Su Qiuyu couldn't come? Why? Today is a palace banquet!"

When attending the palace banquet last time, Su Qiuyu came in with Queen Su just before the banquet started, so even if she didn't see Su Qiuyu this time, Lin Yuan was not surprised, as long as she was still serving the dinner at Queen Su's place. Shelf, come together later.

Who would have thought that she really didn't come?
Xia Zheng's slender fingers continued to skillfully and carefully peel the grapes, seemingly casually replying: "Because I haven't seen Su Tianrui! That kid is very concerned about his sister, and the two are almost inseparable. If Su Qiuyu Come here, even if it's at the queen's place, Su Tianrui will come here in advance to help her tidy up."

But now, they only saw the eldest brother Su Tianyou, and did not find the second brother Su Tianrui and younger sister Su Qiuyu.

It seems that, perhaps as Xia Zheng said, Su Qiuyu did not attend this palace banquet.

Perhaps to verify what Xia Zheng said was true, the two of them were talking one after another when the eunuch's high-pitched singing voice sounded outside the hall.

"Your Majesty is here, the Empress is here..."

Followed by a series of names of concubines, princesses and princes.

Hearing the sound from outside, the bustling hall was suddenly silent. The officials and nobles who were originally scattered all over the place stood in the seats they should sit in very orderly, stood up straight, and waited for the emperor and others to come in.

Even though Xia Zheng was used to being lazy, he also stood up at this time, not to mention Lin Yuan.

It's just that when the two were standing side by side, Xia Zheng's hand suddenly slipped into Lin Yuan's wide sleeve, took her smooth and delicate hand accurately, and began to caress carefully.

Lin Yuan's face was covered with black lines, and she was speechless for a while.

The moment the emperor stepped into the hall, all the people in the hall knelt down and said loudly, "Welcome Your Majesty".

There were obviously a lot of people coming in. Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng knelt on both sides of the aisle. Even with their heads down, they could feel that many people passed by, until Lin Yuan knelt a little impatiently. , just heard the majestic voice of the old emperor.

"Everyone loves to be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Lin Yuan opened her mouth, followed everyone to thank her, and was pulled up by Xia Zheng's ingenuity.

It didn't matter if she raised her head, Lin Yuan was a little stunned when she saw the crowd suddenly appearing in the hall.

Sure enough, quite a few people came in, not only the old emperor, Empress Su and concubines, but also several princes and princesses.

In addition, there are Princess Anle Xia Yuan and his wife, and Xia Zhen and his wife who are following them, because they are regarded as Concubine Shu's natal family, and obviously they all followed Concubine Shu.

And the most difficult thing for Lin Yuan to ignore is Xiliang Prince Heliannuo. Compared with the palace attire of the royal family of Dayong, today's Heliannuo is dressed in expensive but casual ordinary clothes.

But even if it is a regular uniform, it is difficult for people to tell him that he is half disrespectful, because his uniform is embroidered with golden thread with a pattern of unicorns that symbolize the status of the Xiliang royal family, and the two eyes of the unicorns are It is inlaid with night pearls the size of a little finger.

But the boots studded with precious stones or pearls, which could always be the representative of Heliano, are not very conspicuous today.

The boots he wore today were very low-key, and there were no shiny golden things as decorations, otherwise Zhao Hongsheng and the other princes would definitely be amazed.

Speaking of which, this dress was not very luxurious among all Heliano's clothes. Lin Yuan believed that if he hadn't taken into account the face of the Dayong royal family, he would have worn even more luxurious and gorgeous clothes.

However, before Lin Yuan's sigh fell, Xia Zheng on the side seemed to be deliberately against her, poked his head and whispered: "Do you think Heliano is very low-key today? Oh, then you are very wrong. Very wrong. Do you know what kind of leather his boots are made of?"

Lin Yuan was taken aback, and the corners of her eyes twitched uncontrollably. Did this guy wear some shockingly good boots today?
Xia Zheng didn't really want Lin Yuan to answer, so he told her on his own: "It is said that there is a very miraculous fish in Dongling Sea, named Jiao. It is commendable that its tears can melt into beads, and its skin is tough enough to be invulnerable."

Above her head was the old emperor saying auspicious words about the New Year, because Xia Zheng explained to her about Jiao, so Lin Yuan didn't have the heart to listen to what the old emperor was saying.

When the emperor speaks, the people below cannot speak, otherwise it will be considered a crime of disrespect to the emperor.

Even Xia Zheng, who has always been favored and uninhibited, did not speak openly when explaining Jiao.

His body leaned slightly to Lin Yuan's side, his thin lips were slightly opened, and his lips moved very little when he spoke, as if he was smiling.

"It's just a legend. I don't know if there is such a thing as a dragon. However, I heard that there are many people selling dragon skins in Dongling, and they are very valuable. I guess that's where Heliano bought them."

There is another point that Xia Zheng didn't say, even though many people sell this kind of Jiao skin, few of them are really invulnerable.

Therefore, if you can meet one or two pieces of jiao skin that are really invulnerable, let alone worth a thousand gold, even if it is worth a thousand dollars, someone is willing to pay for it.

Lin Yuan raised her eyebrows. She had heard some legends about Jiao, and it was a mermaid that turned into tears.But whether there are mermaids in this world is not certain.

Lin Yuan knew that the invulnerable jiao skin that Xia Zheng said was probably just the skin of a fish with rich leather in the deep sea.

However, such things are obviously rare, otherwise how could they be used to make boots instead of clothes?We must know that the advantage of invulnerability is the biggest gimmick in this era of cold weapons.

Even if the boots on Heliannuo's feet were not made of dragon skin, they were still very precious.Lin Yuan couldn't help raising her eyebrows, feeling less fond of this extravagant Xiliang prince.

I have always heard that Xiliang is very desolate and barren, but from the behavior of this Xiliang prince, I can't see what barren is at all?

Could it be that the rumors are all false?

Lin Yuan had a bunch of questions in her stomach, but she didn't have the heart to ask Xia Zheng, because the old emperor had finished speaking and was raising a wine glass to toast the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs and his family members!
Naturally, the emperor cannot neglect the toast.

Everyone in the hall stood up and shouted "Thank you, Your Majesty" before they drank the wine in their hands.

Lin Yuan never liked to drink, but today's glass of wine cannot be turned down.

So when I tasted the different taste of the wine in the glass, I couldn't help but let out a gasp in surprise.

Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng are already engaged, so there is nothing wrong with sitting on the side, not to mention that at today's palace banquet, many clan royals sat with their wives.

Hearing Lin Yuan's voice, Xia Zheng couldn't help but poked his head over to ask.

Lin Yuan shook her head, thinking of the deal An's family made with the second prince, she couldn't help feeling sad.

Anjia's wine is indeed good, but it just lacks an opportunity to promote it.Today's palace banquet is indeed the most appropriate time.

Sure enough, Lin Yuan vaguely heard many people praise the wine in the glass.She couldn't help pursing her lips. It seemed that An's move was very wise.

"Oh, this is the first time for the prince to see the princesses of your country today! It really is the beauty of the country and the city!"

A lazy voice suddenly sounded, and the entire hall was suddenly silent.

Lin Yuan also raised her eyebrows, and cast her eyes on Heliano who was sitting opposite.

The person who spoke was Heliannuo, and everyone knew that the purpose of bringing the Xiliang mission to Dayong this time was to get married, so when he appeared, many ministers' eyes were fixed on him , I just hope that I can use this marriage to raise my official position again.

Compared with the eagerness of the officials, those noble ladies are much more indifferent.

But to be more precise, it should be fear and timidity. If the person who is married is the prince of Xiliang, it will be fine. Even if he leaves his hometown, he can still become a prince and concubine, and he may be a queen in many years!
It's just a pity that it's not the prince of Xiliang who is getting married this time, but a prince who is not very favored in Xiliang.

Rather than marrying into a poor village and becoming an unfavored prince or concubine, it would be better to stay in the rich and prosperous Dayong and become an official wife!

So no matter who it is, as long as they are women who have not yet engaged, they dare not cast their eyes on Heliannuo, for fear that he will accidentally fall in love with him, and bring them back to Xiliang to be some kind of concubine. .

But when they heard Heliano praise the princesses, their little hearts immediately jumped excitedly.

Are the rumors true?This Xiliang prince doesn't like the daughters of officials like them at all, is he here purely for the princess?

The gossip factor in the body became active, and everyone's eyes became eager, looking at the Xiliang prince who was smiling harmlessly, and at the old emperor with an obviously gloomy face.

"My daughters are naturally magnificent!"

Just a simple sentence, the old emperor no longer intends to discuss this issue with Heliano, even if he changed the topic and ordered the palace servants to start serving the dishes.

The old eunuch immediately asked the palace people to serve the dishes with a high-pitched voice, and the palace ladies in uniforms came in one after another holding a tray, and the whole hall immediately became lively.

Naturally, the New Year's palace banquet cannot be the same as the usual palace banquet, but the difference is only that the color is more colorful and the style is more complicated. As for the taste...

Lin Yuan expressed her disdain for compliments.

After just a few casual bites, Lin Yuan put down her chopsticks without appetite. Fortunately, she learned her lesson and was already full at home before coming here, otherwise she would definitely be hungry for a long time before going home tonight.

I don't know if he is used to Lin Yuan's handicrafts, but when Xia Zheng ate these palace banquets again, they were tasteless, so the two put down their chopsticks and got together to continue chatting.
