Reborn Daughter of the Clan

Chapter 40 Finger Marriage
The palace was also full of joy, and the biting cold couldn't overwhelm everyone's joy for the arrival of the New Year.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were all wearing brand-new court uniforms, sitting in their seats, and there were delicious wines and fruits in front of them.The nine princes, headed by Han Yao, sat in the second row, and the ministers of civil and military affairs, headed by Wen Renchu, sat in the third row.The position in the first row is still vacant, that is the position of the concubines.

The imperial banquet this time is slightly different from the winter solstice imperial banquet, that is, the ministers attending the imperial banquet are allowed to bring their wives, and the princes are also allowed to bring their concubines as long as they have concubines.

Those clan princes, concubines and wives all sat carefully with smiles on their faces, their eyes kept gliding around the nine princes, thinking in their hearts that a dragon has nine sons, sons are different, sons are all dragons and phoenixes among men .

Nangong Linglong sat beside her parents indifferently, and Chen Qingtong was sitting opposite her. The two of them always looked at each other across the air, with a slight smile mixed with cunning, and the other gentle with jealousy.

The emperor has not yet appeared, and the atmosphere at the scene is much more relaxed. Everyone is whispering about the fireworks display tonight. Every year when the new year comes, the fireworks are in full bloom, and the sky is colorful and extremely beautiful. At that moment, the people's new hope, hope The arrival of the new year can change their lives.

The supreme commander in charge of purchasing fireworks this year is Han Yu.

A few days ago, Han Yu ordered the people below to transport the best fireworks into the palace and place them in order to be in full bloom at midnight, Bo Longyan laughed happily.

Han Yu was still dressed in a purple brocade robe, and the smile on his handsome face was faint. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell that he was smiling at all.

Apart from chatting and laughing happily with the people around him, his phoenix eyes always inadvertently fell on Nangong Linglong who was opposite him.Sitting in front of Nangong Linglong was the sixth prince. The sixth prince was only 12 years old, and he was still a child. He couldn't block Nangong Linglong's gaze at all.

"The emperor is here, and the queen mother is here."

Suddenly, the eunuch's sharp voice came, and everyone's expressions immediately turned cold.

Han Tianyun and the queen supported the old queen, and walked into the hall surrounded by the concubines and maids.

Han Tianyun sat down on the dragon chair, the empress dowager and empress sat beside him, and the concubines sat down according to their status.

After Han Tianyun sat down, everyone stood up together and shouted long live three times.

"Everyone, let's be flat." Han Tianyun waved his hands in a deep voice, and the majesty of the emperor was vividly exuded.

After thanking everyone, they stood flat and sat back in their original positions.

After Han Tianyun said a few ordinary words, his face straightened, and he said in a deep voice: "I have a big happy event to announce."

Everyone glanced at each other, and most of them knew what the happy event was.

Unable to bear it, everyone turned their heads to look at Nangong Linglong who was sitting beside her parents.

Nangong Linglong's face was indifferent, thinking that the emperor couldn't see her, she was holding a glass of fine wine made from grapes, drinking slowly, suddenly being watched by everyone, she raised her eyebrows, her eyes asked: "Look at me!" what?

She looked at Han Tianyun, and then glanced at everyone, meaning that the emperor is going to announce a big happy event, and let everyone listen to the happy event, don't look at her.She doesn't think the big happy event has anything to do with her.

Isn't it to marry Han Yao?
What is it with her?

How can she not know what others know?

"The prince is twenty-three, and has reached the marriageable age. Princess Qingtong comes from a famous family, intelligent and virtuous, kind to others, and has a dignified manner. She and the prince are childhood sweethearts. I decided to propose marriage for the two of you and choose a date for the wedding." Han Tianyun said After the happy event was announced, he looked at the Minister of Rites and ordered, "Wang Xi, I will leave this matter to your Ministry of Rites to focus on."

Wang Xi stood up immediately, and responded respectfully: "I obey the order."

Han Yaoming knew the result, but he couldn't help but froze all over, sitting in his original position without any movement.

"Your Highness." The crown prince Taifu called softly, and he came back to his senses, looked up at the superior, and when he received the Queen's eyes asking him to thank him, he felt a pain in his heart, and finally stood up, turned his head and looked deeply Glancing at Nangong Linglong, Nangong Linglong also looked at him, raised her wine glass and shook it at him, congratulating him with a smile in her eyes.

She actually congratulated him!
The pain in Han Yao's heart deepened.

"Cough—" Han Tianyun coughed lightly, his sharp eyes also stared at the motionless Han Yao, and a glint of coldness quickly passed through the depths of his eyes.

The queen immediately signaled Han Yao to thank Han Yao with her eyes again nervously, otherwise the emperor would be unhappy, and happy events would turn into disasters.

Han Yao slowly looked back at Nangong Linglong, walked out of the seat with a stiff body, stood with Chen Qingtong, knelt down and kowtowed to Han Tianyun to thank him.

When the two kowtowed to thank each other, everyone looked at Nangong Linglong again by coincidence.

Nangong Linglong, who was about to pick up a piece of snack as if nothing had happened, stopped again, looked innocent, and glanced at everyone.

What are you looking at me for?
Nangong Linglong snarled at Xie En's Han Yao, telling everyone that they should see the childhood sweethearts.

"Sister Long." The sixth prince, Han Jingyi, turned his head and asked Nangong Linglong in a low voice, "Aren't you sad?" Everyone knows that the prince and princess Linglong are real childhood sweethearts. The prince's favorite person has always been her Nangong Linglong, and now the emperor But she proposed marriage for Princess Qingtong, isn't she sad at all?
"I'm sad?" Nangong Linglong stuffed the snack into Han Jingyi's mouth, and asked with a small smile, "Why should I be sad?" She was on Han Yao's side, but she never said she loved Han Yao. ?After experiencing Zhao Ran's ruthlessness in her previous life, she said that she would not love a man easily again. She chose to help Han Yao because Han Yao has always been very kind to her, very good, and their cousin's relationship is very good. It's just deep.

Han Jingyi chewed the snack in his mouth, and stared with a smile on his face. It didn't matter. Nangong Linglong, who couldn't see the slightest sadness, couldn't help giving Nangong Linglong a thumbs up. Sister Long, be strong!

Nangong Linglong gave him a puzzled look, and continued to drink her wine and eat her snacks calmly.

What was on his mind was whether Gu Xiaoli would agree to cooperate with her?The crown prince sent to Lanyue Kingdom to investigate whether the person from Wen Renchu's background reached Lanyue Kingdom safely?How can she dig out the reason why Jun Tianlei and Leng Tianxiao, the two big icebergs, are loyal to Han Yu?
Seeing Nangong Linglong's indifferent look, everyone let out a sigh of relief, as if they were worried that Nangong Linglong would make a big fuss at the imperial banquet.

Seeing that Han Yao had thanked her, the queen breathed a sigh of relief, and the coldness in the depths of Han Tianyun's eyes also slowly faded away.

The next thing is to eat and drink while watching the show.

Everyone was a little cautious at first, but gradually relaxed.
