Aijia Kefu: Your Majesty, please avoid

Chapter 105 You want me to marry her?

The Dust Cleaning Banquet was still held in the Yong'an Hall, and the concubines, court officials and their families all came.

Figure a lively.

Su Qingyuan and Lu Li entered Yong'an Hall, the hall was already full.

After everyone saluted and greeted, Su Qingyuan was about to take her seat when Su Qingluan hurried over and straightened the chair for her graciously.

Su Qingyuan frowned: "You are inconvenient, you should sit down, I don't need people to serve me."

Su Qingluan bowed her head and smiled: "Qingluan is willing to serve my sister."

Su Qingyuan winked and told Xiuniang to take her back to sit down, then she held Luoxia's hand and sat down slowly: "I understand your intentions. It's just that you should also think about me—you are in a precious body now , in case of bumping into each other, or showing off, wouldn't it be my fault? You are thinking about our relationship in your heart, so you should cherish yourself even more, and don't embarrass me."

Su Qingluan bowed his head and said "yes", with a look of panic.

The officials and female relatives sitting below had their ears pricked up, reluctant to let go of any clues.

Su Qingyuan picked up the tea bowl, glanced downwards without any trace, and roughly knew it in her heart.

Su Qingluan's clothes were stuffed with something, they were bulging, and looked like a big belly, which shows that Xiuniang's job is really good.

The clothes she was wearing were very loose, with intricate patterns and satin decorations from the chest down, and a large phoenix robe on the outside, which was enough to perfectly cover the slightly bloated waist and abdomen.

After confirming that there were no flaws, Su Qingyuan put down her tea bowl and looked at Lu Li: "It's been a long time since I saw such a lively scene."

Lu Li smiled slightly, and raised the tea bowl in his hand to her.

Princess Jingmin let out a "tow" from the side, wrinkling her nose: "You say you like to be lively, but you don't welcome us to come and play with you. Are you afraid that Ye Gong likes dragons?"

Su Qingyuan noticed a few strange eyes stabbing towards her, but she didn't take it seriously, she still smiled lightly, and said to Lu Li, "The noble concubine has learned how to use allusions, it seems that she is really willing to read for a while."

Lu Li glanced at Princess Jingmin, and said calmly, "It may not be that she is willing to study, she might be learning from someone."

Su Qingyuan smiled at Cheng Ruoshui when she heard the words, and said no more.

Among the officials below, there was a gaze piercing like a sharp knife, fixed on her.

Lu Li noticed it, and stared back at Su Qingyuan coldly.

Su Yi was taken aback for a moment, then slightly raised the corners of his lips, revealing a meaningful smile.

At this time, the little eunuch outside the door raised his voice and reported that the envoys from Beiyan and Xiliang had arrived.

They came at the same time.

Su Qingyuan narrowed her eyes, showing a smile that was not a big deal to watch the excitement.

Sure enough, the two teams of envoys entered the hall at the same time, saluted upwards at the same time, and each said a few words of greeting, no one was willing to take a step behind.

The result of this situation is that two awkward accents are mixed together, and a word cannot be heard clearly.

Su Qingyuan frowned, looking unhappy.

Chattering, who knows what they said?It shouldn't be scolding, right?
Lu Li looked calm, smiled and said a few polite words, and then asked them to sit down.

The seats are also arranged side by side, and there is no indication of which side is Xiliang's and which side is Beiyan's.

As a result, the issue of ranking once again attracted the attention of the audience.

But the development of the matter was very disappointing - Xiliang Baili Angju took the initiative to lead his team to the east and sat down, so the prince of Beiyan also quietly took his own people to the west.

They didn't even quarrel, let alone fight.

Su Qingyuan knocked on the teacup sullenly, feeling very sorry for not seeing a good show.

It seems that the two princes who came this time are quite calm.It can also be seen that the current situation cannot be taken lightly!

After everyone was seated, Su Qingyuan was able to take a closer look at Beiyan's envoy team.

The team led by Beiyan is the third prince, Qin Jiao.

Surprisingly, this third prince was actually very delicate: fair skin, red lips, white teeth, big eyes, as delicate as a little girl.

Fortunately, the Princess Hejing sitting behind him is even weaker, shy and timid, and looks like a little girl - if not for this, I am afraid there will be a blind man who will mistake the dignified Third Prince of Beiyan for the princess.

Perhaps Su Qingyuan's gaze was too straightforward, Qin Jiao raised his head and responded with a friendly smile.

Lu Li coughed lightly, and picked up the wine cup: "Your envoy has come all the way from afar, and it's been a hard journey. Nanyue has prepared a little thin wine, so please drink to your heart's content, don't be restrained."

All the officials toasted at the same time, and the envoys of the two countries also raised their wine cups to congratulate each other from afar.

Bai Li Angju smiled at Su Qingyuan, with a deep meaning: "Empress Dowager, we see you again..."

"You are the sixth prince from Xiliang?" Princess Jingmin suddenly said loudly, interrupting Baili Angju's words.

Su Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and said "lucky" in her heart.

Lu Li remained calm, and lightly tapped the edge of the table with his fingertips, signaling her to feel relieved.

Su Qingyuan couldn't feel at ease, but could only wait and see what happened.

Bai Li Angju frowned slightly, and then smiled again: "Exactly. I don't know how to call this empress?"

Princess Jingmin snorted, with a look of disdain on her face: "It's just that! I knew that even if the Emperor of Xiliang had a few princes who could get him, he would definitely be reluctant to adopt him to King Changli, and he really picked you. Such a crooked melon is gone! According to me, the king of Changli is not very old, he might as well work harder and give birth to a few sons himself, why bother to pick up what others don't want!"

When these words were spoken, everyone turned pale.

Among all the monarchs and ministers in the palace, the most peaceful one was actually Baili Angju himself.He smiled slightly, with a look of sudden realization: "This sharp-tongued empress must be Princess Jingmin—that is, the empress of Nanyue Imperial Concubine?"

"You know me?" Princess Jingmin was a little surprised, but also seemed very proud.

Baili Angju smiled calmly: "Of course I know."

Su Qingyuan was full of doubts, so she could only look up at Lu Li.

Lu Li had already turned his head to talk to Qin Jiao.

Su Qingyuan was bored, so she had to carefully observe the envoys of the two countries and the envoys of the seven vassal states sitting below.It was interesting at first, but gradually I got tired of watching it.

Su Qingluan turned her head and blinked at Su Qingyuan, as if hinting at something.

Su Qingyuan understood what she meant, but didn't want to pay attention to it, and just gave her a look of "be safe and don't be impatient".

Su Qingluan refused to settle down.

While the voice in the hall was getting low, she cleared her throat and asked with a loud laugh: "Has the Sixth Prince of Xiliang visited our Nanyue? You seem to know the Queen Mother, and you also know the sister of the noble concubine..."

Bai Li Angju raised his eyebrows slightly: "Who is this?"

Su Qingyuan knocked twice on the edge of the table with her long armor, and said with a smile: "The sixth prince is very smart, can't he guess it?"

Baili Angju followed suit with a smile, nodded and said, "It must be Nanyue Concubine Shu?"

Su Qingyuan spread her hands and said with a smile to Su Qingluan: "Did you see that? The Sixth Prince of Xiliang has a lot of knowledge and knowledge, and he can guess your identity when we meet for the first time—why do you have to have been to Nanyue?"

On Beiyan's side, Qin Jiao frowned slightly, and cast a puzzled look over here.

Lu Li turned his face and gave Su Qingluan a cold gouged look.

Su Qingluan shuddered, and looked at Su Qingyuan begging for help.

Su Qingyuan sullenly avoided her gaze.

Su Qingluan bit the corner of her lips and lowered her head.

Lu Li raised his head and told the little eunuch next to him, "Let's change to a more lively song."

Bai Li Angju hurriedly stood up, smiled and cupped his hands: "Nanyue singing and dancing is beautiful and soothing, suitable for leisurely watching after drinking and eating. Now that the house is full of friends, it should be the time to indulge in joy! My Xiliang singing and dancing is the best for drinking and entertaining. Why don't you let Yan'er perform a song of ugliness, and Bo Jun smile?"

Lu Li pondered for a while, then frowned and said, "Princess Xiliang is also a guest at today's banquet, how can she condescend to perform dances to add to the fun? This is not an appropriate discussion."

Baili Angju smiled and said: "My Xiliang sons and daughters are bold and informal. At the banquet, no matter whether it is the queen, concubine or princess, it is common to dance to help the fun. There is nothing wrong with it—Yan'er, come here soon!"

Baili Yunyan lowered her head and stood up slowly, with the words "reluctant" written all over her face.

When passing by Su Qingyuan's side, she paused and hesitated for a while.

Su Qingyuan stretched out her hand and grasped her wrist accurately: "Sit down, I don't miss you a dance."

Baili Yunyan's eyes widened.

Su Qingyuan ordered the little eunuch to add a chair, and pulled Baili Yunyan to sit beside her.

"Empress Dowager, what is the meaning of this?" Bai Li Angju narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Qingyuan meaningfully.

Su Qingyuan sat up straight, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the Sixth Prince, probably still doesn't understand that women are human beings, and they are not playthings for you to entertain at the banquet! You like dancing so much, why don't you dance one yourself to cheer us up?"

"Isn't the empress dowager's words too deceptive?!" An old minister of the Xiliang mission stood up.

Su Qingyuan sneered: "I asked the sixth prince to dance a dance, but you said I was deceiving too much; you forced Princess Yunyan to dance, why didn't you say that you were deceiving too much? Could it be that only the prince is noble, and the princess is the only one who is honorable?" Is it not honorable?"

Baili Angju waved the old official to sit down, and then smiled at Su Qingyuan: "Angju had good intentions, but I didn't expect that the Queen Mother would not like it. I was rude in Xiliang. It's just...the customs in Xiliang are like this, the Queen Mother can Taking care of Yan'er for a while, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of her forever!"

Su Qingyuan held Baili Yunyan's hand, pursed her lips and smiled: "It's not difficult to take care of her for the rest of her life—princess, how about staying and being my daughter-in-law?"

Baili Yunyan looked at Su Qingyuan, then quietly raised her head to look at Lu Li whose face turned dark instantly, and couldn't help shivering.

It's just that the words "can't be provoked" are written on the face.

At this time, Lu Junnuo, who was burying his head in the chicken leg, suddenly raised his head: "Mother, do you want me to marry her? But I think she is a bit old! Well, I can marry her, but—— I I want to watch the Sixth Prince of Xiliang dance!"

This kid was so tongue-in-cheek that before others could react, he had already finished speaking in one breath.

Lu Li's complexion turned from cloudy to sunny, and he resumed his attitude of watching the show.

Su Qingyuan was completely stunned.

Where did this kid come from?

A kid who is less than six years old is actually in such a hurry to marry a wife?

How many days has it been since weaning?
Baili Angju's face gradually turned ugly.

According to what this little doll means, if Princess Xiliang wants to marry Nanyue, she has to perform dances from the dignified prince to get such an honor?
When did Xiliang become so humble?When did the princess of Xiliang get so worried about getting married?

What an asshole!The precious princess of Xiliang, his precious sister—even if Nanyue wanted to marry, he would not be willing to give it to her!
Bai Li Angju was so angry that he dropped the wine glass, but after hearing the crisp sound, he clearly felt an emotion called "relieved" in his heart.

He actually... is reluctant to marry Yun Yan out!

Baili Angju looked up at the mournful woman sitting beside Su Qingyuan with a complicated expression.

Lu Junnuo looked at Su Qingyuan, then at Baili Angju: "Why don't you dance? Can't you?"

Baili Angju managed to squeeze out a smile: "Forgive me, my lord, Angju has been exhausted from traveling and traveling for days, and his muscles and bones are sore, so it is inconvenient to dance."

Lu Junnuo made a grimace: "I see that you obviously don't know how to do it! If you say 'travel', your sister is also exhausted just like you. Why do you force her to dance because your muscles and bones are sore? Could it be that she There's no 'Traveling' anymore?"

Baili Angju was speechless for a moment.

On Beiyan's side, Qin Jiao suddenly laughed: "King Ding'an of Nanyue is really a wonderful man! He is so tender and cherishing jade at such a young age - if Princess Xiliang can marry such a prince, it will be a good story."

"Don't try to trick me! If the Sixth Prince of Xiliang doesn't dance, I won't marry him!" Lu Junnuo threw his chopsticks and said seriously.

Qin Jiao slapped his hands twice and laughed "hehe".

Baili Angju's face was already too dark.

Baili Yunyan lowered her head, her eye circles were slightly red, and the corners of her lips were tightly pursed.

Today she was ashamed and lost at home.

In the capital city of Nanyue, everyone knew that she was aiming for the seat of the empress of Nanyue, but the emperor of Nanyue didn't even look at her.It's all right to kill a little doll on the way, but to think of her as a gift for watching a dance-this kind of humiliation is really deceiving!
But, how could she blame Nanyue?It was clearly Xiliang herself and her sixth brother who humiliated her first!
Xiliang himself has already belittled her, how can he expect to find love in Nanyue?

After today's farce, she has become the laughingstock of the whole world, and it is difficult for her marriage to have a happy ending.

Fortunately, she didn't intend to marry herself.

Baili Yunyan raised her head slowly, and raised the corners of her lips.

It's okay if you can't marry.This time, you can't blame her.

Baili Angju's eyes kept falling on Baili Yunyan, and he almost forgot where he was.

Qin Jiao stood up, cupped his hands to Lu Li, and said, "Beiyan congratulates the Nanyue Emperor on his enthronement, and wishes that the two countries will never go to war."

Lu Li bowed his hand and returned the gift: "Beiyan and Nanyue have been friends for generations, and this friendship should be passed on from now on."

Qin Jiao bowed slightly, and continued: "Before leaving, the empress dowager of our country repeatedly asked to ask Nanyue about the old Kangning, and asked us to bring a hundred pieces of jade and a precious knife, wishing the emperor of Nanyue a happy life and a healthy life."

Lu Li looked serious and cupped his hands in gratitude: "After the third prince returns to the country, I would like to thank Duan and Princess Dachang for their generous gifts, and wish her a healthy body and a long life."

As they said that, the little eunuchs also took out the gifts from Nanyue, which were nothing more than silk or gold and silver vessels. There were also two sets of porcelain that were specially stated to be dedicated to "Princess Duanhe".

Su Qingyuan frowned and thought for a long time, and finally remembered that Princess Duanhe of Nanyue had married Beiyan many years ago, so she must be the "Empress Dowager" Qin Jiao talked about.

In this way, Lu Li is also somewhat related to the Prince Beiyan, but he doesn't know what kind of seniority it is.

cousin?Or cousin?She couldn't figure it out for a while, but Su Qingyuan didn't intend to bother.

Qin Jiao ordered his servants to accept Nanyue's gift in return, and said with a smile: "Besides the jade and precious sword, Beiyan also has a generous gift, please accept it with a smile from the Nanyue emperor."

Lu Li narrowed his eyes, but didn't answer.

Qin Jiao stretched out his hand and dragged Princess Hejing out of the shadow: "The empress dowager of our country misses her homeland and has been looking forward to reuniting with her relatives in her hometown, but it is a pity that the journey is so long that it cannot be fulfilled. In the past two years, the queen mother's phoenix body Gradually weakening, and worried about the growing estrangement between the generations of the two countries, he thought of adding another marriage, counting it as a close relationship. This is Princess Hejing of our country, born of the emperor and the concubine. Born noble, raised by the empress dowager since childhood, familiar with poetry and books, fluent in the language of Nanyue, gentle disposition, wishing to marry Nanyue - this is the long-cherished wish of the empress dowager, please do not say goodbye to the emperor of Nanyue."

Su Qingyuan played with the teacup in her hand, and listened carefully to Qin Jiao's words, her face expressionless.

Lu Li turned his head several times but got no response, and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

Baili Yunyan next to her saw it, and hurriedly touched Su Qingyuan's hand quietly, signaling her to speak.

Qin Jiao noticed the small movements of the few people, and then shifted his gaze to Su Qingyuan: "Beiyan's side is decided by the empress dowager; Nanyue marriage pays attention to 'the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker', so naturally it should be decided by the empress dowager." The empress dowager is in charge."

Su Qingyuan slowly raised her head and glanced at Lu Li.

Lu Li was angry with her, deliberately did not respond, and turned his head away.

Su Qingyuan stared at her with anger, but there was nothing she could do, so she forced a smile and said: "Blind marriage, that was a few years ago. The emperor has a weird temperament, if the marriage is arranged hastily, I'm afraid it will harm the princess of your country." ——How about this, Princess Hejing, like Princess Yunyan from Xiliang, will come to the palace to accompany Ai's family for a while, and it won't be too late to talk about marriage after finding out the temperament."

"I'm afraid..." Qin Jiao was a little reluctant.

Su Qingyuan smiled and looked at him frankly: "It's about the peace of the two countries, the Ai family knows it well, the third prince doesn't need to worry too much."

Speaking of this, Qin Jiao couldn't think of any reason to object, so he could only agree.

Baili Yunyan held Su Qingyuan's hand: "Do I want to live in the palace too?"

Su Qingyuan knew what she was thinking, so she smiled and said: "If you want to live in the post house, it's up to you. It's just——you will always be bored, remember to come to the palace to talk with me more often." .”

Baili Yunyan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly.

Beiyan and Princess Jing didn't even say a word from the beginning to the end, they just stood with lowered eyebrows.It wasn't until Qin Jiao pulled her to sit down that she sat back carefully.

The concubines on the Nanyue side didn't have much opportunity to talk, so they had to sit on the side and eat and drink with their own thoughts.

Princess Jingmin looked at Lu Li for a while, and then stared at Baili Yunyan or Princess Hejing, not knowing how to hide her displeasure.

Su Qingluan was quiet for a while, and suddenly couldn't help it anymore, and raised her head: "Nanyue has always regarded softness and chastity as its beauty, and a woman who sings and dances to men to persuade men to cheer them up is called a woman in our side. 'prostitute'."

As soon as these words came out, not only the Xiliang envoy Qi Qi changed his face, but even the Nanyue monarchs and ministers looked at each other in awe.

Su Yi gave Su Qingluan a stern look across a few tables.

Su Qingluan shrank her neck, but did not lower her head.

Beiyan's envoys put on a gesture of watching the show, but did not fan the flames.

Lu Li was about to speak, when Baili Yunyan suddenly slapped the table: "'Five miles have different sounds, ten miles have different customs', what is there to say? We Xiliang girls can sing and dance well, and in front of our father and brother Why not entertain relatives in colorful clothes? Concubine Shu compares us to prostitutes, we dare not argue, I am afraid that the Empress Xiaoci who passed away 16 years ago in Nanyue will die with regret!"

Su Qingluan's face turned pale instantly.

Empress Xiaocizhao, of course she knew.

That was the married princess of Xiliang, who died in the fire of Weiyang Palace 16 years ago, and was buried in the imperial mausoleum with Emperor Zhao.

Most importantly, she is the biological mother of the current Emperor Lu Li!

If Xiliang women are compared to prostitutes, what is the difference between Empress Xiaoci and Baili Yunyan?
Su Qingluan looked up at Lu Li in horror, got up and left the table, and knelt down heavily: "My concubine made a mistake, please forgive me..."

Lu Li's face was expressionless: "Concubine Shu's words are insignificant, and she loses her manners in front of the imperial court. She is reduced to a concubine, and all obligatory offerings are halved. She is forbidden to enter the Yanxi Palace, and she is not allowed to go out without an edict!"

"Your Majesty, I... I didn't mean to..." Su Qingluan panicked.

Su Qingyuan patted the table heavily, heartbroken: "It's fine, how did you become like this! It's nothing more than talking nonsense in your own home, but now you can't control your mouth in front of guests? Have you read all the books for so many years into the stomach of a dog! Aijia told you that if you are confused, drink an extra bowl of medicine when you go out, and don’t talk when you can’t talk!"

Xiu Niang, who was serving next to her, knelt down and cried, "Forgive me, the Empress Dowager, forgive me! Concubine Shu has been drinking medicine, but recently the imperial doctor ordered that too much tranquilizing medicine would harm the fetus in the womb. , so the empress stopped the medicine without authorization... It's the servant's fault, the servant will make the medicine for the empress when she returns..."

Su Qingyuan sighed for a long time: "Forget it! Since it's for the sake of the child, it's better to drink less medicine. Qingluan's illness is not serious, but occasionally he gets confused and can't control his mouth—give me the medicine right away." Forgive me, Princess Xiliang, let's go down now."
