Chapter 98
After taking a short rest in the tent, it was evening before we knew it.Not long after, the dinner party will begin.
According to the rules of this dynasty, the emperor usually held a banquet in the paddock on the evening of the autumn hunting to entertain all his officials.One is to enjoy the prey hunted during the day, and the other is for the emperor to reward the ministers and signal the monarch and his ministers to have fun together.Therefore, the tradition of the dinner party is also handed down from year to year during the autumn hunt.
In occasions like dinner parties, people with higher status always come later in order to highlight their extraordinary status.A lady from an aristocratic family with no rank like Xiao Ruan has to go there early and wait.
After asking the maids to wait on them to clean up and dress up, Xiao Ruan thought that there was nothing wrong with her, and when she saw that it was almost time, she led the maids to the big tent for the dinner.
From a distance, Xiao Ying saw Xiao Ruan, who was dressed in a simple and elegant Luo skirt, but looked extraordinarily fresh and pleasant. His eyes shot towards her with hatred like a cluster of sharp arrows.
Sensing Xiao Ying's cold gaze, Xiao Ruan remained calm, ignored Xiao Ying, and walked towards Lu's family in a leisurely manner, wanting to say hello to them.
"Yo, my sister's clothes are really pretty!" Xiao Ying deliberately walked towards Xiao Ruan, walked slowly around Xiao Ruan a few times, and said sourly: "It's just that my sister remembers, sister, didn't you wear it in the morning?" What about this dress?"
Xiao Ying thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "Could it be that my sister can't change her clothes because she went to meet some shady people, did some shady things, and soiled her clothes?"
Xiao Ying's deliberate tone caused all the wives and noble daughters to speculate.Could it be that Xiao Ruan disregarded the reputation of her daughter's family and had an affair with a man while hunting?
For a moment, everyone looked at Xiao Ruan with inexplicable guesses.They looked at Xiao Ruan one after another, and some of the little girls who were shallow-minded even showed contemptuous expressions.Everyone's ladies have always been noble and self-restraining, and they look down on people who are humble and self-deprecating.
"Yes!" Xiao Ruan nodded calmly with a smile, ignored everyone's surprise, and explained casually: "Didn't I meet Miss Huo Yixuan and Miss Huo when I was riding a horse in the pasture! We just met, Miss Huo So I rode towards me, thinking that even my horse couldn't bear Miss Huo's enthusiasm, so I was frightened, my clothes were so dirty!"
Xiao Ruan turned her head and miraculously showed a faint smile to Xiao Ying, and said softly: "Isn't this just like what my sister said, seeing a shameless person and doing a shameful thing! Wear a good suit, It's such a waste, what a pity!" As he spoke, he shook his head in a sigh, as if he really felt a pity for the soiled dress.
Everyone's eyes stole towards Huo Yixuan for a moment, with a hint of understanding in their eyes!It has long been heard that Miss Huo's family has won the position of son of the prince because her father is the favored son of Han Hangong, so she has been arrogant and arrogant since she was a child.It seems that it is so!
Huo Yixuan turned blue with anger when everyone looked at her with such clear eyes.I can't wait to find a hole in the ground and get into it. I'm so angry, but I can't say anything to explain it.Huo Yixuan has rarely experienced this kind of aggrieved feeling in the past ten years.However, the last time I saw Xiao Ruan, she was also blocked by her, and it was the same this time!
Huo Yixuan squinted her eyes, secretly resentful in her heart, wondering if Xiao Ruan came here to restrain her, to fight against her.Regardless of whether she went to find fault with Xiao Ruan first or not, Huo Yixuan had already decided in her heart that Xiao Ruan was not a good person, and her hostility towards Xiao Ruan became even stronger.One day, let Xiao Ruan feel offended by himself.
While everyone was secretly guessing Huo Yixuan's temperament, a servant ran towards the big tent panting.A group of female relatives did not know when it happened, so they gathered around one after another, inquiring about the news.
The news brought by the servant shocked everyone.The emperor was assassinated in the paddock!
The emperor's assassination is a major event, this hunting ground is heavily guarded, how can an idle assassin enter the paddock!If the king of a country is assassinated, the world will be in chaos.Besides, everyone's relatives are still with the emperor, they are the pillars of the family, in case something happens.
Not daring to think deeply, everyone could only secretly pray in their hearts that nothing would happen to them, at least not to their own family members.
But fortunately King Huai Zhao Yan showed up in time with his guards, beheaded the assassin on the spot and protected the emperor. The emperor and all the lords are safe and sound now.
A group of female family members who were so frightened that their faces paled with fear just held their chests and let out a little sigh of relief when the emperor led a group of princes and ministers here.
Xiao Ruan quietly glanced at the emperor, and saw that the emperor had a livid face and said nothing, followed by the crown prince, Duke Huai and a group of ministers.There was no sound on the field, everyone knew that the emperor was full of anger at this time, whoever opened his mouth first might be held accountable by the emperor, this thunderous anger was not so easy to bear.
Everyone was silent like this, I don't know how long it has passed.Even the emperor couldn't bear to spoil everyone's interest.Finally, in the silence, he ordered his servants to serve the dishes and start the meal.
Different from the past when the emperor feasted on the ministers, the people carefully observed the color of the emperor who was high above him, and the usual chatting, laughing and drinking turned into cautiousness, not daring to say a word or make an extra action, lest Stared at by the emperor.
"Yan'er won the first place in the autumn hunt this time. I was assassinated and served as a escort just now. Tell me, what do you want last time!" The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, as if drunk, and leaned gently on the soft bed. On the chair, he asked Huai King Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan suddenly got up and left the table, strode down on his knees at the foot of the steps, and said in a loud voice: "I do have something to do, please fulfill it." His face was solemn and respectful.
"Oh, what's the matter? The emperor might as well tell me." The emperor asked with a smile after taking a sip of his wine.
As soon as Zhao Yan's eyes turned to the group of noble girls, the hearts of all the girls trembled slightly. Duke Huai Feng was handsome, gentle as jade, and upright at the marriageable age. Could it be that
Wei Wei fixes her eyes on Xiao Ruan, Huai Wang Zhao Yan firmly said: "I want to marry Xiao Ruan, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, as my wife, I beg my father to let me do it!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.Unexpectedly, Duke Huai actually fell in love with this young lady of the Xiao family. They heard that this young lady of the Xiao family was originally engaged to the young general Huo Xunhuo of the South Korean government. Then nothing happened.Unexpectedly, Xiao Ruan turned around and hooked up with Duke Huai again.
The emperor was also startled, and frowned instead.He is very clear about Duke Huai's son, he is a person who does not have a profit, and everything starts with profit.If he said that he really admired Xiao Ruan, he didn't believe it.Besides, in the eyes of the emperor, when his son marries a wife, he will definitely find a capable Yue's family to give him a helping hand.Xiao Ruan was a weak girl who lost her mother since she was a child and was not favored by the Xiao family. Presumably, he had taken a fancy to the power of Xiao Ruan's grandfather, the Xiao family, and Xiao Ruan's eldest brother who had just emerged.
He became more and more displeased with Duke Huai's son in his heart, and his ambition was too big.Originally, he wanted to give him the most affluent place to keep him rich and healthy for the rest of his life, but now it seems that what he is asking for may not be these.
Xiao Ruan also thumped in his heart, he didn't expect Zhao Yan to be so caught off guard and begged for himself, and he and he just met today.Having been husband and wife for more than ten years in the previous life, Xiao Ruan knew Zhao Yan very well. If he had no mother and was not favored, he would be a high-ranking man after marrying him. After thinking about it, he felt that he would definitely do his best to help him. Others seem to have become his Duke Huai's people.It's a good plan, but it's a pity that I am no longer the Xiao Ruan who had no opinions in the previous life and could only be manipulated by others.
Xiao Ruan got up, walked slowly to the front of the steps, prostrated Yingying, and said softly but firmly: "Your Majesty, my daughter does not want to. My daughter does not want to marry Duke Huai as his wife. Please also ask your majesty to see clearly."
The emperor was a little depressed, although he didn't want to offer marriage to King Huai Zhao Yan, but Xiao Ruan's blatant refusal was a slap in the face of the emperor and King Huai.Is there any reason for the emperor's son to be rejected by a weak woman!
"Is it possible that my son is not good enough for you!" The emperor's voice was low, and everyone knew it was a sign of anger.
Everyone watched their hearts and minds, and they didn't dare to show their atmosphere. This matter of left and right has nothing to do with their own family, just watch the fun while being wise.
"Your Majesty, I have a marriage contract with Miss Xiao, and they are happy with each other. I also hope that the Emperor will be sympathetic to this humble minister and help us both!" Huo Xun stepped forward.
"Nizi, in front of the holy driver, how can you allow you to be presumptuous! You have completely embarrassed my Korean government, see if I don't beat you to death!" Han Gong walked out tremblingly with a cane, trembling with anger , and regardless of the fact that the emperor bumped into the holy car in front of him, he raised his crutches and was about to hit Huo Xun's body.
Seeing that the crutch was about to fall on his body, Huo Xun still knelt upright, not moving at all, just like his firm determination in his heart.
"Forget it, who do you think I am. Since you have lovers and concubines, I have no reason to separate you. Let you get married as soon as possible!"
Huo Xun was ecstatic in his heart, and Xiao Ruan also breathed a sigh of relief.Both of them bowed down and kowtowed to thank the Holy Grace.As for everyone's thoughts, only they themselves know.
"Father!" Zhao Yan said anxiously, just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by the emperor waving his hand.
"Okay, don't talk about it. I will pay attention to your marriage. Now that the two of them agree with each other, you should also fulfill it!" The emperor's voice was deep and deep, with a strong warning.
Zhao Yan also knew that the matter had been decided, and there was no possibility of turning around, so he could only shut his mouth, with deep resentment in his heart.I thought it would be smooth to get Xiao Ruan, but I didn't expect something went wrong, that's all, there are many noble girls in the capital with better background than her, she is not bad.
