Chapter 123: Empress Jingshun Emperor Looks at Minglan and Cheng Shaoshang [Subscription!!] 】。
Although the Lord of Jiacheng County said this, he still secretly felt that Gu Tingye was a little more attractive to him than Qi Heng. It’s a pity that King Yong didn’t agree to her marrying Gu Tingye, and she didn’t have the slightest way.
Even she couldn’t go to ask Princess Yong, and in desperation, the lord of Jiacheng County had to put down the thoughts of Gu Tingye in his heart.
“Qi Heng can be very sought-after, many girls are trying to marry into the Duke of Qi’s Mansion, and Qi Heng is square, full of poetry, and he will be admitted to the imperial examination in the future, if the lord of Jiacheng County is in Qi Heng, don’t hesitate, don’t miss the opportunity!”
After Gu Tingye finished speaking, the lord of Jiacheng County nodded repeatedly.
As the only daughter of King Yong, she naturally has no low requirements for her future husband.
Now that she has reached the age of the concubine, she has also seen many princes of the family with Princess Yong, including Qi Heng has also met several times at the banquet, and her impression of Qi Heng was originally good.
When Gu Tingye said this today, he couldn’t help but be deeply interested in him.
“So Qi Heng is here today?”
“Qi Heng’s mother is the lord of Pingning County, she will naturally receive an invitation, and Qi Heng is the only son of the lord of Pingning County, and she will definitely come today.”
As Gu Tingye spoke, he couldn’t help but reveal the situation of the Duke of Qi’s Mansion to the Lord of Jiacheng County.
In this era, the distinction between concubines and concubines is very clear, especially in the family family, and the inheritance of titles and family inheritance is none other than the eldest son. A person like the lord of Jiacheng County who pretends to be noble will never let himself marry a son who cannot inherit the family business.
After hearing Gu Tingye’s words, the Jiacheng County Lord couldn’t help but speed up his pace towards Qionglin Hall.
“Thank you Dingguogong, if Qi Heng is really as good as you say, I will personally prepare a generous gift for you.”
The lord of Jiacheng County said happily with a tuan fan in his hand.
“Then I can wait for the Lord of Jiacheng County to give me a gift.”
Near the Qionglin Dao Hall, in order to avoid suspicion, Gu Tingye specially asked the lord of Jiacheng County to go first. He was ready to go in with Huo Buji and Gu Qianfan.
After Huo Bu saw Gu Tingye, he looked at him with gratitude in his eyes,
“Thank you Zhonghuai for bringing the divine doctor that day, my aunt can now walk on her own in the hospital, and her sanity is exactly the same as that of a normal person.”
“It’s naturally good that Mrs. Huo can recover, Zi Sheng, you also have to cheer up, today’s Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the queen and Your Majesty are interested in choosing a marriage for you.”
Gu Tingye said lightly.
Huo Bu shook his head,
“The marriage is just that, Your Majesty, he will only pick some vulgar powder, if he wants to force me to marry a relative, then I will go to Lingnan to find a battle.”
Hearing Huo Buji say this, Gu Tingye couldn’t help but sigh lightly.
……
“Hey, isn’t this Cheng Shaoshang? I didn’t expect that with her family lineage, she could actually come to the queen’s banquet. ”
“Who knows what tricks she used, I heard that she was also sent by Dingguo Gong to study at the Sheng Family Shujuku, and I don’t know what Dingguo Gong fancy her, fox charmer!”
“…..”
Wang Jia and other noble ladies couldn’t help but whisper after seeing Cheng Shaoshang’s figure.
Wang Jia and Lou Yi have converged a lot since they were slapped by Gu Tingye, and now they can only secretly sarcastically say a few words in the face of Cheng Shaoshang, and they don’t dare to use any more means to hurt her.
After Cheng Shaoshang heard these people’s words, although he was a little angry in his heart, he also knew that today was the queen’s banquet that could not be created, otherwise the entire Cheng family would be implicated.
So she didn’t bother to talk to these people at all, and directly turned her head to show them a provocative smile. After Wang Jia and the others saw Cheng Shaoshang’s smile, they stomped their feet angrily.
……
“Your Majesty, the queen mother has arrived!”
As the palace people outside the palace shouted. All the girls present stood up from their positions and saluted.
“You don’t have to be polite, today’s banquet is more casual.”
Emperor Jingshun waved his hand and said, and then led the empress to sit down on the main throne
“Your Majesty Xie, Empress Xie.”
Today’s banquet was opened by the empress, and Emperor Jingshun came simply to see the appearance of the Sheng family and the girls of the Cheng family. He knew that he would be here to induce the restraint of these officials.
So, after a few simple pleasantries, Emperor Jingshun said in a deep voice,
“The six girls of the Sheng family and the four girls of the Cheng family are available?”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn’t help but put their eyes on Ming Lan and Cheng Shaoshang.
“What did His Majesty suddenly ask the two of them to do?”
“Who knows, I heard that the two of them could not participate in the banquet, and it was the queen and His Majesty who specially made an exception for them to come.”
“This is really weird…”
“…..”
The surrounding officials and dependents whispered and guessed, and from time to time looked at Minglan and Cheng Shaoshang with their afterlight.
After hearing this, the two of them suddenly felt a stunned in their hearts, especially Cheng Shaoshang was directly stunned in place.
“The courtesan is here.”
Under everyone’s gaze, Minglan stood up and looked at Emperor Jingshun and the empress and said softly and politely. Although Minglan is not favored in the Sheng family, Old Lady Sheng is the only daughter of Yongyi Marquis, has extensive knowledge, and is still a close friend of Empress Dowager Xian.
Minglan has been following Old Lady Sheng since she was a child, and although she was surprised that Emperor Jingshun suddenly called her today, her face was still able to remain unchanged.
Cheng Shaoshang looked at Minglan and stood up immediately after, and said in a trembling voice,
“Minister… The courtesan was also there. ”
“Come over and let Xu and the Empress take a good look at you.”
Emperor Jingshun said with a very kind waving. Seeing this, everyone around kept guessing in their hearts what Emperor Jingshun wanted to do.
Sheng Jia Molan’s eyes stared at Ming Lan, his angry face was livid, and he was jealous in his heart. Why is Emperor Jingshun only called Ming Lan!
Obviously, she is the most talented daughter of the Sheng family!
Rulan quietly looked at Mo Lan, Sheng Xun spoiled his wife and killed his wife, and Mo Lan had Sheng Xuan’s favor.
I have never put her as a prostitute in my eyes, and now I can see Mo Lan like this, and Ru Lan suddenly feels another evil breath. Wang Ruofu’s eyes dripped around a few times, and he secretly felt that Minglan might really be favored by Gu Tingye.
Although Xiao Yuanyi taught him how to speak and salute before entering the palace, Cheng Shaoshang now forgot all about his nervousness, and could only follow Minglan step by step.
Soon, Cheng Shaoshang and Ming Lan stood side by side in the center of the Qionglin Hall.
“Miss Cheng, what are you looking at?”
Emperor Jingshun looked at Cheng Shaoshang and asked curiously.
“The lights in this temple are really big, I have never seen such an exquisite house built, and it is difficult not to see it for the first time.”
Cheng Shaoshang said happily that she has liked carpentry since she was a child.
After following Xiao Yuanyi into the palace today, he was full of interest in all kinds of magnificent buildings in the palace and kept observing
“Ahem…”
Xiao Yuanyi coughed lightly twice, reminding Cheng Shaoshang to be honest and not to embarrass the mansion.
“Since Miss Cheng likes it, let Zhonghuai take you into the palace to see it in the future.”
Emperor Jingshun looked at the beautiful appearance of Cheng Shaoshang and Sheng Minglan and was very satisfied with them in his heart.
Cheng Shaoshang nodded with a smile on his face.
“Miss Cheng, Miss Sheng, what is your maiden name?”
The Empress asked softly.
“The courtier’s name is Sheng Minglan.”
“My name is…”
Cheng Shaoshang just wanted to speak, but saw Xiao Yuanyi on the side coughing lightly. Only then did Cheng Shaoshang react,
“The courtesan is called Cheng Shaoshang, and she takes the strings.”
“They are all good names, and their looks are all first-class good, no wonder they can be favored by Zhonghuai.”
As soon as the queen, who was sitting next to Emperor Jingshun, said this, everyone present immediately gasped. It turned out that His Majesty and the Empress saw Sheng Minglan and Cheng Shaoshang in order to help Dingguo Gong look at each other!
Many girls present clutched the cloth in their hands and crushed a mouthful of silver teeth with envy.
Gu Tingye has already been made a national duke before he is a weak crown this year, and everyone in the entire Shenjing City knows that his future is limitless, and he will definitely be crowned king in the future.
Minglan turned her head and looked at Gu Tingye blankly, she really didn’t expect the queen to say such a thing today, and she didn’t expect that Zisan was fortunate enough to enter his eyes.
Qi Heng, who was following the Lord of Pingning County, his face fell directly, and he looked at Gu Tingye in disbelief, unable to figure out why such a thing happened.
“Mother…”
Qi Heng looked at the Lord of Pingning County, who was talking happily with the Lord of Jiacheng County, and his heart was as painful as a knife. The lord of Pingning County did not take care of Qi Heng at all, and she wished that Minglan would marry early, so that Qi Heng’s idea could be completely eliminated.
Moreover, she is now very fond of the Jiacheng County Lord, and in her opinion, the entire Shenjing City is worthy of Qi Heng, only the Jiacheng County Lord is alone.
“Ming Lan is really going to fly on the branch and become a phoenix now…”
Wang Ruofu looked at Minglan and said to himself. Although Wang Ruofu is selfish and reckless, he only thinks of Rulan and Hua Lan for any benefit.
However, she was not confused in this kind of thing, although she hoped that Rulan would be favored by Gu Tingye today. But Minglan has now been remembered by Old Lady Sheng under her name, and she is Minglan ‘s concubine.
If Ming Lan can marry Gu Tingye, her face will naturally have light, and having a sister who marries into the Guogong Mansion will also be of great benefit to Rulan discussing marriage in the future.
In short, as long as it is not Mo Lan, Wang Ruofu is comfortable in his heart.
Xiao Yuanyi was much smarter than Wang Ruofu, and she knew what the queen meant when she said this.
It is nothing more than telling the Sheng family and the Cheng family to stop discussing relatives for Minglan and Cheng Shao, and her marriage has been decided by her and His Majesty. Xiao Yuanyi looked at the faces of everyone around her, and couldn’t help but sigh, she didn’t know whether Cheng Shaoshang was favored by Gu Tingye as a good thing or a bad thing now.
It can only be taken one step at a time.
