Chapter 75 Farewell Banquet (Part [-])
As soon as Wei Yang's words fell, the Queen's smile froze on her face.

She never thought that the person Wei Yang fell in love with was actually Song Qinghuan!
Just now she thought about it, with Wei Yang's temperament, there must be no other reason for saying love at first sight, it must be because of the beauty of the girl.But as long as the girls in Beijing are unmarried, Wei Yang's family background is more than enough to match her.

Except for Song Qinghuan.

Not to mention that now Song Qinghuan is gradually gaining the favor of the emperor, even in the past, the emperor was unlikely to agree to marry Song Qinghuan to Wei Yang.She knew very well in her heart that the Wei family is now the dominant family in the court and has long been a thorn in the emperor's eyes. How could the emperor recruit another Wei family's son-in-law to be his son-in-law?

Song Qingyi who was on the side was also full of surprise when he heard the words, his hand holding the chopsticks paused in the air, and he stared at Wei Yang with wide eyes.

She... Did she hear correctly?Wei Yang actually asked his mother to marry Song Qinghuan?The two of them can't fight together, can they? !
After a moment of stupefaction, she thought of Wei Yang's expression when he saw Song Qinghuan in Lingyin Temple that day, and she finally came to her senses.

Wei Yang was afraid that he fell in love with Song Qinghuan after seeing Song Qinghuan at Lingyin Temple that day, so he rushed here to beg his mother.

Song Qinghuan became more and more seductive, seduced the third prince, but now even Wei Yang has been seduced by her.Thinking of this, it is inevitable that I feel a little uncomfortable.

If it was just before, wouldn't everyone's eyes have to fall on her?When will it be Song Qinghuan's turn to challenge?
Just as he was distracted, he heard Wei Yang tentatively calling again, "Aunt... Aunt?"

She came back to her senses suddenly, snorted coldly in her heart, mocking Wei Yang's overreaching.

No matter how bad Song Qinghuan is, she is still the emperor of a country.With his dandyism and incompetence, how can he be the son-in-law of a country?Father was already dissatisfied with the Wei family, so naturally he would not agree to his request.

But Wei Yang has been doted on in daily life, and has long since developed a lawless temperament. How can he easily give up on the things he believes in?

The eyeballs rolled around, seeing that the Queen's expression was a little stiff, and her face sank, she hurriedly smiled and said to her, "Auntie, Yang'er also knows that this request is a bit embarrassing for you. But Yang'er Ever since I met Wuyang Diji that day, I have fallen in love with her. I miss her these few days and miss her instead of tea and food, which really hurts lovesickness. Yang'er knows that you have always loved me, aunt, and Yang'er rarely I beg you, on this matter, I ask my aunt to help me."

As he spoke, he stood up in a serious manner, lifted his robe and knelt down, bowing to the queen.

The queen stared at Wei Yang, seeing his rare solemn expression, she couldn't help frowning.

Wei Yang, is this for real?
But listening to what he just said, he actually only saw Song Qinghuan once and wanted to marry him?This is too much of a joke, right?

Stretching out a hand to help Wei Yang to sit up and talk, he stared at him for a moment and said, "Yang'er, do your father and grandfather know about your request?"

Wei Yang showed a guilty look, avoiding the queen's scrutiny, with a bit of discomfort on his face.

Seeing his appearance, the queen immediately understood.Wei Yang came to beg her today, but his father and elder brother didn't know about it.

The brows frowned even more, "Yang'er, this is a major event in your life, how can it be child's play? This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run. After two days, my aunt will invite my father and elder brother to the palace to discuss it before making any plans."

"But..." Wei Yang seemed a little bit unwilling.

"Yang'er!" The queen interrupted him sternly, "You have to know, the one you want to marry is not an ordinary girl, but an imperial concubine of a country. Do you think it is so easy? Can it be done in one sentence?" After a pause, his eyes turned cold, "You don't need to talk about this matter, let me discuss it with your father and brother."

Seeing that there was no room for turning around in the Queen's words, Wei Yang finally didn't dare to say any more, and agreed in a dull manner. He didn't bring up the matter any more, and just buried himself in the meal, his expression suddenly went limp.

The queen glanced at him, sighed slightly, and softened her tone, "Yang'er, why do you like Wu Yang?"

Wei Yang raised his head, with fleeting lust in his eyes, he cleared his throat and said, "Yang'er doesn't know either, maybe this is fate."

The empress only thought it was funny, she suppressed the stern look on her face, and said in a bad mood, "I see, you think Wu Yang is beautiful, right?"

Hearing the playful meaning in the Queen's words, Wei Yang heaved a sigh of relief, but he didn't deny it, looked at the Queen and said with a smile, "Auntie is really clever, nothing can be hidden from your eyes."

As he spoke, he stood up and walked behind the queen, and patted the queen's shoulders graciously.While beating, he said, "Everyone has a love for beauty, and Yang'er is not exempt."

Song Qingyi watched coldly, and couldn't help but sneer after hearing Wei Yang's words.

Wei Yang is probably the only person who can talk about lust in such a fresh and refined way.

But she would be happy to see Song Qinghuan marrying such a dude.With a sneer in his heart, he became more and more obsessive.

The queen's mind moved slightly.

Some time ago, there was a lot of noise about Wei Yang's domineering and robbing of women in Beijing. If she hadn't sent someone to suppress it, it would have already reached the emperor's ears.If marrying Wuyang can make Wei Yang calm down, then it's not impossible for him to consider this request.

Thinking about it this way, he asked a little tentatively, "Don't give aunt such false pretense. Wuyang's status is extraordinary. If you marry her, you will basically cut off the possibility of taking concubines in the future. Are you willing to do that?"

Wei Yang was stunned for a moment, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he quickly patted his chest to guarantee, "It's natural. As long as my aunt agrees to help Yang'er to ask the emperor, Yang'er promises that she will calm down in the future and won't let the family and the family get married again." You are worried." As he spoke, he thumped the queen's back graciously.

"Okay, okay." Being so entangled by Wei Yang, the queen waved her hand backwards, "I'm taking this matter to heart, and I'll think it over carefully. But there's no rush for this matter, and a long-term plan is needed, and you Don't be too impatient."

Wei Yang knew that this was the best result at this stage. Before he came, he didn't expect the queen to agree immediately. Hearing this, he smiled and hurriedly responded, "Of course, then I will trouble my aunt."

"Well, take care of yourself during this time, and don't let your parents worry about it."

"Yang'er knows." Wei Yang agreed wholeheartedly.

From the beginning to the end, Song Qingyi who was on the side didn't say a word, and only seemed to be eating his meal calmly.

Wei Yang glanced at her, and because he was in a good mood, Song Qingyi seemed to be pleasing to the eye at this time, and asked, "The other day Shen Xiang Lingyin Temple was attacked, and my cousin was there, are you okay?"

Song Qingyi glanced at him, and seeing the queen also looked over, suppressed the disdain in her heart, smiled slightly, "Thank you cousin for your concern, I'm fine."

"That's good." Wei Yang sat back on his seat, stretched out his hand to pick up chopsticks for the queen, and said earnestly, "It's good that my cousin is fine, otherwise my aunt will have to worry."

"Mmm." Song Qingyi responded with a serious tone, and stopped talking.

After dinner, Song Qingyi was really too lazy to be with Wei Yangxu and the snake, so she found an excuse to say goodbye and leave.

After leaving Changle Palace, she let out a long breath, raised her hand to cover her dazzling eyes, and sneered at the corner of her mouth.

The queen mother said that she had to think about it again, but she was obviously moved by Wei Yang.From the perspective of the queen mother, if Wei Yang can accept his heart because of this, let alone Song Qinghuan, even if Wei Yang wants the stars in the sky, the queen mother will pick them off for him.

With a slight pause in his footsteps, a secret pleasure rose in his heart.

Compared to Wei Yang, she dislikes Song Qinghuan even more.If the queen mother really agreed to Wei Yang's request, she would be happy to watch the show.After all, although marrying Liang Guo is a distant marriage, it is very likely that she will become a queen, and marrying Wei Yang, it is really impossible to get it anyway.

Thinking of Song Qinghuan's embarrassment when she knew that she was married to Wei Yang, Song Qingyi felt very anxious, swept away the haze in her heart two days ago, quickened her pace, looked back at the painting screen and painting fan behind her, and smiled happily, "Go Now, go back to the palace!"

*
The banquet held for the missions of various countries was held in the imperial garden, and the banquet was held in Youshi.

The Imperial Garden is located on the other side of Ningwu Lake. Weeping willows are planted all over the lake, with thousands of emerald silk ribbons hanging down, and the breeze blows with water vapor.Although it is midsummer, the sun is not strong in Youshi, and only the afterglow of the setting sun shines down.In addition, the flowers and trees in the imperial garden are verdant and full of shade. Sitting in it does not feel hot, and smelling the fragrance of flowers, herbs and trees makes you feel relaxed and happy.

There are a few long bamboo couches under the flowers and trees, on which are placed fine wines and fine wines, and beautiful flower branches are placed in beautiful jade porcelain vases. , it seemed a little casual and relaxed.

A court lady in Tsing Yi shuttled through it, guiding the guests to their seats.

Song Qinghuan arrived early, and there were only a few people sitting in the garden.Unexpectedly, Su Jingci came over early.

He was originally sitting in his own seat drinking alone, with a slightly bored expression on his face.When Xu Shi heard the movement, he raised his head and looked towards the entrance to the garden. When he saw Song Qinghuan walking towards this side under the guidance of the maid, his eyes lit up, and he stood up to meet him.

Just as Song Qinghuan was about to take his seat, he heard someone calling him from behind.

"Di Ji!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Song Qinghuan turned around helplessly, and smiled slightly at the visitor, "Third Prince."

Seeing Song Qinghuan, Su Jingci seemed to be very interested, looked her up and down, smiled and said, "Is Diji feeling better?" Instead, he asked about the attack on Lingyin Temple that day.

Not to mention the pampered and pampered concubine, even ordinary people will surely scare most of their souls when they encounter such things, so Su Jingci asked this question with concern.

But he didn't want Song Qinghuan to be an ordinary person.

What happened that day, the only impact on her was the little ambiguity with Shen Chuhan at the bottom of the cliff, other than that, she didn't feel any discomfort.

But since Su Jingci asked, she naturally understood the intention.Slightly nodding and smiling, "The third prince has been thinking about it, and he rested for a few days, feeling much better."

Su Jingci nodded, and said again, "I don't know if the people who attacked Shen Xiang and Di Ji that day have made any progress?"

On Meng Qi's side, a few clues were indeed found, but they could only be found on those gangsters. As for the people behind the scenes, they were still at a loss.Even so, Song Qinghuan didn't think it was necessary for Su Jingci to understand this, and shook his head, apologetically, "I'm not in good spirits these days, and I haven't had time to ask about this in the future."

Su Jingci hurriedly said empathetically, "It's natural, Di Ji shouldn't be responsible for this matter, the most important thing is to take good care of your body."

Song Qinghuan nodded, not wanting to talk too much with Su Jingci, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.Just as he was about to sit down, Su Jing said again, "Di Ji, I came here this time to tell you something first."

Seeing that his tone seemed serious, Song Qinghuan took back the steps he had just taken, and turned slightly to look at Su Jingci, "I don't know what the third prince said?"

"I may be going back to Chen with the Zhaoliang and Liang delegations."

Song Qinghuan was slightly surprised, blinked her bright apricot eyes, and said in surprise, "Didn't the third prince want to stay in Jian'an for half a month before going back?"

Su Jingci smiled helplessly, "I originally planned to do so, but a letter came from my father, urging me to return to China as soon as possible." He shrugged, half joking and half serious, "The emperor's fate is hard to do, although I am thinking about it." There are beauties and wines in Jian'an, but there is no other way, so I have to go back to China as soon as possible according to my father's wishes."

Song Qinghuan didn't think much about it.After all, Su Jingci is the prince of a country, so staying in another country for too long is really not a problem.As for what the emperor considers, this is not something she should consider.

She didn't have much thought about Su Jingci.To her, it doesn't make any difference whether he stays in Jianye for a while or leaves for Chen after a few days.

Then he nodded and said politely, "The third prince will definitely have a chance to come to Jian'an in the future."

Su Jingci sighed, "I hope so." After a pause, Taohua's eyes sparkled slightly, and he sized up Song Qinghuan for a moment, then his tone suddenly became a little deeper, "I don't want Diji to be like everyone else in the meeting later." I only found out about this news at the farewell banquet, so I came here rashly to tell you the news, and I ask Di Ji not to take offense."

This is a bit ambiguous.

Song Qinghuan frowned calmly.

What kind of idea did Su Jingci come up with?I don't seem to be familiar with him to this extent?
Coughing in embarrassment, he looked up at Su Jingci and nodded, "The third prince has a heart, so I will take this opportunity to wish the third prince a smooth journey in advance."

Su Jingci's twinkling eyes seemed to be somewhat disappointed, his lips parted, and just about to speak, when he saw a person out of the corner of his eyes, the expression in his eyes darkened.

Song Qinghuan was sensitive to the change in his breath, followed his gaze calmly, and the faint smile on the corner of her mouth collapsed.

Shen Chuhan is here.

Subconsciously, she didn't want Shen Chuhan to see her talking with Su Jingci, so she quickly saluted Su Jingci, and said in a low voice, "Third Prince, I'll take my seat first, and we'll talk when I have time." After that, He walked quickly to his seat and sat down.

Su Jingci was taken aback for a moment, and then he came to his senses, with a wry smile on his lips, without saying anything, he turned and returned to his seat.

Su Jingci's cold gaze swept across the room, and it seemed to fall on Song Qinghuan for a moment, fluctuating slightly, Fang Cong calmly moved away, walked to the seat next to Su Jingci and sat down under the guidance of the maid. .

Seeing Shen Chuhan approaching, Su Jingci raised the wine cup to signal him, and pursed his lips to take a sip of the wine in the glass.

Shen Chuhan nodded slightly as a greeting, but the look in his eyes was still as cold as the moon.

Not long after, the people who participated in the palace banquet began to arrive at the Imperial Garden one after another.

The delegation of the Kingdom of Chen, headed by Mu Shujie, also came soon. On the royal side of the Kingdom of Yu, the crown prince Song Yan, the eldest prince Song Yi, and the fifth prince Song Xuan also came here one after another. Even Song Qingyi came here this time too. quite early.She walked past Song Qinghuan without turning her eyes and sat down on the seat next to Song Yi.

The moment she was seated, Song Qingyi casually glanced at Shen Chuhan who was opposite, and a suspicious blush seemed to fly on her cheeks.

Song Qinghuan watched from the side, feeling amused in his heart.

The arrogant and self-sufficient appearance just now, but when facing Shen Chuhan, she has the appearance of a little girl who is just in love.Changing her face so quickly, she really deserves to be Song Qingyi.

She raised her hand and poured herself a glass of wine, sipping it unhurriedly.

At this time, there seemed to be a small commotion at the entrance.Following the prestige, I saw Xun Meiren and Song Qingyu coming together.

Song Qingyu dressed up quite grandly today, wearing a palace gown with peach-colored brocade makeup and satin with Sichuan embroidered lotus pattern.A head of black silk is bundled into a flying fairy bun, the head hairpin is Ruyi Double Happiness Bat Jade Phoenix head with golden steps, and rubies are strung with rice beads hairpin flowers.

The beauty Xun next to her was not particularly well dressed, it was just an ordinary palace attire, with a little powder and daisy on, and her complexion seemed a bit haggard.

But it was quite unusual for Xun Meiren to appear here at this time.Because Xun Mei's status is not high, she has never been qualified to participate in such palace banquets.Coming here at this time must have obtained the approval of Emperor Yu, so everyone was surprised.

Song Qinghuan chuckled and looked away lightly.

Xun Meiren was able to come to the farewell banquet today only because Song Qingyu was going to marry Liangguo far away.After all, after today's palace banquet, Song Qingyu will leave soon. As Song Qingyu's biological mother, Emperor Yu will still give her this face.

Xun Meiren's seat was set separately under the first three seats. As for Song Qingyu, he still sat between Song Qingyi and Song Xuan.

When the two entered the arena, everyone's eyes fell on them one after another, with different expressions.

Unexpectedly, today's Song Qingyu's face was very calm, without any disturbance, and he walked with a very dignified demeanor, as if he had changed himself in a short period of time.

However, the slightly clenched fist when she passed in front of Song Qinghuan still revealed the unwillingness in her heart.

Song Qinghuan's long eyelashes fell, and he played with the cup in his hand, feeling amused.

Seeing Song Qingyu's appearance, he clearly hated himself.

She sipped the fermented rice with great interest, and there was a playful look in her eyes.If Song Qingyu can marry obediently and go to Liangguo, maybe they can live in peace.If she still wants to play tricks, don't blame yourself for being cruel.

At this time, Song Xuan who was sitting beside her turned her head to talk to her.

"Huan'er, why didn't you bring Liuyue and Shen Xing here today?" Song Xuan glanced at the two strange little maids standing behind Song Qinghuan, and asked curiously.

Song Qinghuan came back to his senses, suppressed the coldness in his eyes, raised his eyes and smiled, "Liu Yue and Shen Xing have both felt the wind and cold for the past few days, I asked them to rest well, and brought Qing'er and Long'er here today."

The two maids standing behind her were originally the little maids in charge of sweeping and running errands in Yaohua Palace, they were called Qing'er and Long'er.She saw that they were very clever, and in the memory of her previous life, the two of them had never been demons, so she proposed them to be second-class maids, and during the time when Shen Xing and Liu Yue were away, they would serve her.

Song Xuan said "Oh" without asking any further questions, and changed the subject, "Do you feel better these days?" He was still asking about the attack on Lingyin Temple that day.

Although Song Xuan had visited her when she came back that day, she still felt a little uneasy.

Song Qing laughed happily, "It's all over, don't worry, Brother Wuhuang."

"That's good." Song Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly frowned again, "But this matter is really strange, who is so bold? If it weren't for the marriage between the two countries, there might be some uproar Woolen cloth."

"Yes." Song Qinghuan agreed, his eyes flickering slightly.

Everyone is guessing who is behind this scene, but they don't want that person to hide so deeply.Except for Shen Chuhan, who is the person involved, probably no one would have thought of him, right?
Just as he was distracted, he suddenly felt that the noise in his ears gradually became smaller, and soon, there was a loud voice from a servant, "The emperor is here—the empress is here—Ning Guifei is here—"

Concubine Ning is here again?

Song Qinghuan's mind moved, and she glanced at it.Sure enough, the Queen and Concubine Ning accompanied Emperor Yu into the Imperial Garden.One is dignified, the other is charming, beautiful in appearance, each has its own merits.

It seems that Concubine Ning has gained more and more favor these days.

It's just that I don't know, how much of this grace is sincere, and how much is due to other considerations?

The three of them sat down in front of the three seats that had been prepared earlier, and there were rustling sounds of clothes rubbing and neat salutes in the field.

Emperor Yu waved his hand to signal everyone not to be too polite.

Soon, everyone returned to their seats.

Emperor Yu raised his eyes and glanced at the crowd, and said gloomily, "Thank you to the diplomatic missions from all over the world for coming to Jian'an to celebrate my birthday. Today's palace banquet is a farewell banquet specially set up for you. Please don't be restrained. Drink to your heart's content." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to hold up the wine cup in front of him, "I will drink this cup first as a respect."

After drinking a glass, he signaled the maid to fill it up, and raised the wine cup again.This time, his eyes fell on Shen Chuhan, "For this cup, I want to respect Prime Minister Shen. It is not only for gratitude, but also for apology. I thank Prime Minister Shen for his spared no effort to facilitate the marriage between the two countries. I am deeply sorry for this matter. Dali Temple has made new progress in this case, and I believe that the investigation will soon reveal the truth. Thank you, Prime Minister Shen, for your understanding and tolerance."

After finishing speaking, he raised his hand to signal Shen Chuhan, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

Shen Chuhan also picked up the wine cup, didn't speak, just curled his lips lightly, and then finished the glass.

Seeing that Shen Chuhan received the glass of wine he had toasted, Emperor Yu breathed a sigh of relief, his heavy heart seemed to relax a little, and he said goodbye to the Chen Kingdom mission headed by Mu Shujie.

Turning his eyes, he looked at Su Jingci, "Since the third prince will stay in Jian'an for half a month, I will respect this glass of wine after half a month."

No, Su Jingci stood up and bowed to Emperor Yu.

Emperor Yu was slightly surprised, and asked suspiciously, "The third prince has something to say?"

Su Jingci nodded, and said in a leisurely manner, "Our country Chen, I'm afraid we are going to set off with the missions of Liang country and Zhao country."

Emperor Yu frowned, and looked at him puzzled, "Third Prince, what does the third prince mean, that the delegation from the Kingdom of Chen is also scheduled to leave for the Kingdom of Chen in the next day?"

Su Jingci answered loudly, "Exactly."

Emperor Yu frowned even more, "I don't know why the third prince suddenly changed his itinerary?"

Su Jingci smiled embarrassingly, "Father has sent a letter, asking me to bring the mission back to China as soon as possible."

At this point, Emperor Yu didn't want to say much, so he responded with a smile, "Since that's the case, I don't want to stay too long, so I will also take this opportunity to wish the Third Prince and the Chen Kingdom Mission a smooth journey in advance." As he said, He raised his wine glass again, and shared the glass of practice wine with Su Jingci.

After practicing the wine, Emperor Yu and everyone seemed to be in high spirits.

Emperor Yu clapped his hands, and soon, beautiful musicians and dancers entered the room.Along with the sound of silk and bamboo pipe music, the clear sound suddenly became indistinct, echoing over the imperial garden.

Song Qinghuan sipped the fine wine in the glass, and looked at the graceful dancing posture of the dancers in the field.

The long sleeves are up and the dancing posture is graceful, and the side is beautiful and enchanting, bewitching people's hearts.At this time, I saw Wu Ji raised her water sleeves and spread them around.A dancer happened to retreat in front of Song Qinghuan's seat, but she didn't know if she tripped over the hem of her skirt or what, she staggered and fell towards the direction where Song Qinghuan was sitting.

Fortunately, there was Zhang Changji in front of Song Qinghuan, and the dancer leaned on the long table with her waist, and hurriedly stretched out her hands to support her, barely stabilizing her body.It's just that with the flick of his sleeve, he accidentally took the flagon from Song Qinghuan's banquet.

With a "pop", the white jade jug fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces, making a crisp sound.

The dancer froze for a moment, then hurriedly knelt down shivering.

　Because I have to catch a plane back to the United States in these two days, I will send out one update first, and there will be another update around [-] pm.
