Tell the lord, the princess has climbed the wall

Chapter 359 I Know
"Wei Zhaoran is really so important to you? Do you really want her to be my princess?" After a pause, Mu Chen looked at Zuo Mu solemnly and confirmed again.

"Of course! From my point of view, I always want to bring good people together. Of course, my opinion is for reference only, and it depends on your own wishes. After all, getting married is a lifetime of a person. There is no sloppiness in the big event."

Mu Chen fixedly looked at Zuo Mu, didn't say yes, didn't say no, finally he nodded solemnly, and said, "Okay, I understand."

Then he sent Zuo Mu back to the banquet hall, turned around and left again.

When Zuo Mu entered, the banquet hall was already full of people.

Wei Zhaoran was already there, sitting in an inconspicuous corner, his eyes were red, he looked like he had just cried, Zuo Mu reckoned that her senseless resistance should have been ruthlessly dismissed again.

Zuo Mu walked over quietly, carefully sat down next to Wei Zhaoran, and silently accompanied her,
Wei Zhaoran didn't speak, and Zuo Mu shouldn't speak casually, either.
Uh, to be precise, Zuo Mu didn't even have the courage to look Wei Zhaoran in the eye.

To be honest, after persuading Mu Chen for a long time just now, Zuo Mu still has no idea in his heart.

The sentence that Mu Chen dropped before leaving: He knows, it completely confused Zuo Mu.

Zuo Mu really doesn't know, I know what Mu Chen said, what exactly do I know?

Did you know it for real or did you know it?
Are you willing to help, or unwilling to help?

Or is it just his excuses?In fact, he is still unwilling to marry Wei Zhaoran.

Zuo Mu was really afraid that he would mess things up and delay Wei Zhaoran's life in the end.

Zuo Mu sat in his seat and thought hard, trying to quickly understand the central idea of ​​Mu Chen's words.

However, there was a commotion on a table not far away, disturbing Zuo Mu's thoughts from time to time, making her unable to concentrate on thinking.

Because Zuo Mu was sitting there, all he could hear was Mrs. Wei's piercing laughter and exaggerated calls, who seemed to be warmly greeting this and that.

Even with his toes, Zuo Mu could guess that the person sitting at that table must be someone from Duke Wei's side.

I heard that Princess Heyue, another marriage mate, was chosen from the Xu family and supported by other forces, so it's no wonder Mrs. Wei Guogong is so proud.

Driven by curiosity, Zuo Mu quietly looked around from the corner of his eye.
Sure enough, she saw that the folds on her face were smiling like buns, beside Mrs. Wei Guogong, there was indeed a fairly handsome fifteen- or sixteen-year-old lady sitting,
It seems that it must be the new one who is no different from Princess Yue.

Because there was no woman of the right age for marrying the royal family this time, Empress Xu carefully selected a collateral woman from her natal family, temporarily added the title of princess, and planned to send her to the Yue family for marriage.

The girl looked much calmer than Wei Zhaoran. If you look closely, you can even find that there is still a hint of hope in her eyes, and her eyes are erratic. From time to time, she quietly glances at the VIP seats in front. I hope to be the first to see the look of my future husband.

It's just a pity that many people came in one after another, but there was no envoy for marriage.

After a while, as the time for the banquet got closer, Yun Shang also appeared, but she still followed Bai Qi step by step.

To Zuo Mu's surprise, this girl not only changed into clean clothes, but also changed her face makeup again. At first glance, she was more than one level uglier than the afternoon, not to mention others, even Zuo Mu almost didn't recognize her. It was obviously Bai Qi's order to leave her.

Yun Shang stood at the entrance and quietly patrolled around. When she saw Zuo Mu and the others, she happily said goodbye to Bai Qi, and ran towards Zuo Mu happily.

After running to Zuo Mu's side, he sat down, probably because he wanted to tell Zuo Mu about his miraculous experience in the afternoon,
"Concubine Kang, you don't know, I..." Yun Shang just started talking, but was signaled by Zuo Mu's eyes,
His eyes accidentally caught Wei Zhaoran's disappointed expression, so he quickly stopped talking,
Fang later realized that this friend of his today seemed to be a bit dereliction of duty, and he was so happy to find his elder brother, why did he ignore Wei Zhaoran's lifelong event.

Then he quickly turned his expectant eyes to Zuo Mu, because she knew that Zuo Mu was waiting for Mu Chen in the afternoon.So I want to know the answer to the negotiation from Zuo Mu.

But Zuo Mu was very nervous about this meeting, and he didn't know what to do, so he couldn't respond directly to Yun Shang, so he just nodded vaguely.

Seeing that Zuo Mu had become so heavy, Yun Chang lost her good mood in an instant, so she could only shrink silently in the corner.

After a while, it was time to start the banquet. Even Empress Xu and the concubines from the harem were all present, but only the emperor, Mu Chen, Xiao Ruoyun and other envoys from neighboring countries were not present.

Just when everyone was wondering, finally at the last moment, they saw Emperor Xixia leading the crowd into the venue.

The banquet started as scheduled. Everyone sat down on the high platform. The emperor coughed a few times and began to speak some high-sounding polite words. I am very happy that the envoys can come. Today's banquet is mainly to celebrate the friendship, peaceful coexistence, and common cause of several countries. prosperity, etc.

According to the normal process, the result of the emperor's speech, the next step is to announce the marriage,
After the emperor's words fell, the venue became unprecedentedly quiet,
In the silence, it was as if a needle could be heard falling to the ground.

Below Wei Zhaoran was trembling even more nervously. Zuo Mu stretched out his hand, gently held her hand under the table, squeezed her tiger's mouth hard, gave her a comforting smile, Tell her, "Don't be afraid, it's all about me."

Wei Zhaoran obviously understood Zuo Mu's intention, and nodded at her with tears in his eyes.

At the moment when everyone was extremely nervous, they saw that the Emperor Xixia did not talk about the marriage, but changed the subject, saying that today's banquet is actually just a reception banquet for the envoys from all walks of life, so that everyone can eat and drink well, and enjoy themselves. Appreciate the singing and dancing.As for the love between Qin and Jin, it will be announced separately on a good day.

Zuo Mu was also nervous and wanted to know why the regulations were suddenly changed, so he had been quietly observing the movements of the people in front of him.

I saw that after finishing his speech, the Xixia Emperor stopped talking, and only kept pretending to be very interested in enjoying the singing and dancing, with an unclear attitude.

Mu Chen on the other side just kept his head down and remained silent, without even looking this way, he didn't know what he was thinking about.

On the other hand, Xiao Ruoyun from Dayu on the other side had a flash of joy in his eyes, as if he had something good in his heart.

Perhaps also to ease the atmosphere, Concubine Cheng on the side took the lead in holding up the wine glass, and signaled to the Princess Yue who was not far away, the Princess received the signal and took a sip shyly, but Concubine Cheng In a good mood, he raised his head and drank it all.

The wine was dry, and soon I saw a graceful court lady, walking lightly to Concubine Cheng, helping her fill up the wine in time...
