The Ancient Martial Witch Arrives

Chapter 99 The Palace Banquet (3)
The two Marquis naturally understood that Emperor Wu was being polite. If they were really impolite, would they be able to live so comfortably when they were highly honored?If they were more respectful in front of Emperor Wu, they would be more honorable in front of others.

After saluting to Emperor Wu, the two saluted to Princess Xiangjun and several princes.

"Two Qings, sit down quickly." Wu Huang said with a smile, and ordered someone to lead the two of them to their seats. Naturally, Lan Linghou sat in front of Lan Jiu, while Wu Muhou sat opposite.

After the two were seated, Emperor Wu smiled at Lan Linghou and said, "Just now Lan Qing's family didn't come, and I have already announced that Lan Jiu will be married."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great love. Our Lan family is very grateful!" Lan Linghou hurriedly got up, his old face bursting into smiles, it is an honor to be granted the marriage by Emperor Wu!And since the marriage was bestowed by Emperor Wu, the other party must be a person of high status, and Lan Jiu didn't dare to refuse, it really kills two birds with one stone!

Lan Linghou thought happily in his heart, and smiled proudly at Wu Muhou. After that, he turned his head and smiled flatteringly at King Fengjiang.

When King Fengjiang saw Lanlinghou's flattering smile at him, he just snorted coldly and didn't reply.He naturally knew what Lanlinghou's smile meant!He probably thought that Lan Jiu's marriage partner was Wu Lin, and regarded himself as his in-laws.

In fact, the King of Fengjiang is still very depressed until now!Originally, Wu Huang bestowed the marriage to Lan Jiu this time to let Lan Jiu marry Wu Lin, but for some reason Wu Huang changed his mind!

"Lan Jiu, you have a suitable candidate in front of you. The crown prince and the second prince already have wives, and none of the princes below the third prince has any." Wu Huang spoke again, and stopped the people in the hall again .

Lan Linghou looked at Emperor Wu in confusion, not understanding what this meant. Could it be that Wu Lin was not the one who was given the marriage?But how many princes?Then wouldn't her granddaughter be a princess?Wouldn't that status be higher?Isn't the power of the Lan family even greater?

"Thank you Emperor Wu for your kindness! I'm so grateful!" Before everyone could respond, Marquis Lanling jumped out, fell to his knees, and shouted loudly.

Seeing this, the faces of the princes and Marquis Wu all showed contempt.

"Old Hou, the one who was given the marriage seems to be Lan Jiu. What are you so happy for?" Xiang Jun caught a glimpse of Lan Jiu's expression unchanged, but there was repulsion in his eyes. As both women, Xiang Jun knew that Lan Jiu was not Happy, and seeing Lanling Hou busy thanking him, regardless of Lan Jiu's feelings, Xiang Jun couldn't help but sneered.

"Hehe, as Lan Jiu's grandfather, I love my granddaughter very much. It is my wish as a grandfather that my granddaughter can find a good husband! Besides, this is the marriage gift from Emperor Wu to my granddaughter. How could I be unhappy? Reason? This old man believes that the marriage bestowed by Emperor Wu is the best, doesn't it mean that Princess Xiangjun thinks so?" Lanlinghou raised his head to look at Xiangjun, and said in a somewhat unfriendly tone.

Worthy of being an official old fritters!Unexpectedly, a single sentence touched Wu Huang's body.It is impossible to refute, if it is disrespectful to Emperor Wu to talk about the marriage.

"Old Hou, don't think of me as a bad person! How could I doubt Emperor Wu!" Xiang Jun smiled alienatedly, with a bit of indifference in his brows and eyes.

The Marquis of Lanling choked back to Princess Xiangjun with a word, feeling very good about himself.It's just that Wu Huang, who was sitting in the upper position, frowned. Being used as a spearman by Lan Linghou made Wu Huang a little uncomfortable, but since it was a marriage bestowed by him, there was nothing wrong with Lan Linghou saying so.

"Hmph, if I remember correctly, there is still a granddaughter in Lanlinghou's family who is not yet married. Miss Lanfei is Lanjiu's sister. Why don't you get engaged to her first? Is it appropriate to let the younger sister get married first?" Wu Muhou I have never been used to Lanlinghou's coquettishness. Seeing that the old man is about to betray his granddaughter's happiness, Wu Muhou said quite displeased.

"Ah! Marquis Wu Mu really reminded me! There are still two granddaughters in the old man's family who are not yet married. If you have any suitable candidates, please help me to keep an eye on them." Lan Linghou said brazenly without changing his face.

"Hmph!" Marquis Wu Mu felt even more contemptuous, and after a cold snort, he stopped talking.

"Haha, Lan Qing's family don't have to worry, I've considered this issue too, what do you think of me, the Third Emperor? Lan Fei is a nice girl, why don't you marry the Third Emperor?" Wu Huang heard Lan Linghou's nagging , then laughed and said.

When the Marquis of Lanling heard the words, his whole body trembled with fright, what!The third prince?Let the third prince be his grandson-in-law?There is no mistake!I still want to live two more years!

"Don't dare, dare not, the third prince's noble family has a bright future, and the old granddaughter dare not climb up!" Lan Linghou didn't even dare to look up at the third prince's face, and immediately lowered his head and shouted.

Even with his head down, Lanlinghou still felt the sharp knife-like eyes of the third prince, and immediately felt a thorn in his back.The third prince is ruthless, cruel, and ruthless. He dare not want such a grandson-in-law!

"Lan Qing's family is too modest, you are my hero!" Wu Huang was in a great mood.

"The Lan family doesn't dare to have any extravagant hopes, the emperor's grace has already arrived!" Lan Linghou began to break out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said again.

"That's the case!" A cold voice suddenly sounded, the tone was as cold as ice, and the ending was very long, with a strong sense of threat.The third prince had already got up from his seat with a sneer, looked at Lan Linghou with a smile and said, "Why don't you decline the marriage offer from the father to Lan Jiu?"

Lan Linghou trembled all over, and was speechless in place.

"Wu Xiang, don't be rude!" Wu Huang looked at the third prince with some dissatisfaction, and scolded.

"Father, didn't you just say that Lan Jiu can choose a nobleman to marry at will? She will choose me! But just now Lanling Hou said that he didn't want me to be his grandson-in-law. Could it be that he didn't decline the marriage offer from Father? What?" Wu Xiang sneered, his eyes became sharper, and his eyes fixed on Lan Linghou like two poisoned daggers.

Lanlinghou was stunned, at a loss.

"What? Will Lan Jiu choose you?" Wu Huang frowned, turned to look at Lan Jiu and asked.

Lan Jiu has remained silent since entering the hall, and now Wu Huang has looked at him questioningly, and he can no longer remain silent.And the third prince Wu Xiang also turned his head, looking at him deeply, his eyes were clearly reminding himself to speak according to his meaning.
