Chapter 55 Marriage Proposal at the Banquet

After Xue Qingyin finished her salute, she felt a little cold all over her body.

When she looked up, she found someone looking at her.

He was a middle-aged man with a gentle face and no anger. He was wearing a dragon robe and had a handsome appearance. He was of course Emperor Liang De.

In addition to Emperor Liang De, Concubine Wan and another older woman with her hair in a high bun were also looking at her. She should be... the Queen Mother, right?

At the same time, he was watched by the three giants of the palace.

Xue Qingyin...Xue Qingyin became hard-headed. She should eat and drink.

Otherwise, what else could happen?

Did he die on the spot?

It can be seen that he is deeply scheming.

Concubine Wan said in her heart.

He's a fool.

The Queen Mother thought.

He has a bit of his father's style.

Emperor Liang De’s thoughts.

But when he thought that Xue Chengdong had raised a son of his, Emperor Liang De's face darkened again.

Xue Qingyin had no idea that the three giants were staring at her and coming to completely different conclusions.

Even the emperor was present at the palace banquet today, so the noble ladies from various families at the banquet were inevitably tied up.

But Xue Qingyin is not the only one who stands out.

The Lu family's daughter and the Qiao family's daughter that Emperor Liang De was planning to point out to Prince Xuan earlier appeared to be dignified and generous.

At this time, the sound of silk music sounded in the hall, finally dispelling a bit of depression.

Xue Qingyin sat down next to Xue Qinghe, tilted her head, and asked her in a low voice: "How is it? Have you found out who pushed you?"

Xue Qinghe was there.

Xue Qingyin frowned: "Not found?" No way? She brought them here specially...Does Xue Qinghe have no idea what he is doing standing behind the screen?

Xue Qinghe struggled for a while, finally breathed out and said: "Found it."

Qiu Xin's eyes widened behind her, filled with hatred that iron could not become steel.

"Who is it?" Xue Qingyin became more energetic.

"Qiu Xin discovered it."

Xue Qingyin turned back and looked at Qiu Xin.

Qiu Xin's face was stiff. It was no longer realistic to lie at this time. She could only grit her teeth and said, "Yes..." Suddenly her thoughts changed.

Anyway, she was the only one who heard the sound at that time, and the second girl didn't pay attention at all.

So whoever she says is who she is.

If the eldest girl becomes enemies with a noble girl from a higher family background, and the person who originally hated her is still lurking in the secret... then it will be great fun!

Qiu Xin thought of this, shook her head, and said timidly: "No, it's better not to say it, I'm afraid we can't afford to offend you."

Hearing what she said, Xue Qingyin became even more interested.

What noble lady with an extraordinary birth wanted to deal with her, but ended up being stupid enough to think that Xue Qinghe was hers?

Xue Qingyin said: "It doesn't matter, you say it."

"The girl wearing a lilac-purple skirt and a hollow hairpin with silver flowers on her head."

Xue Qingyin took advantage of the situation and looked around.

...I don’t know.

Xue Qingyin couldn't help but ask her maid: "Have I met her? Do I have a grudge against her?"

The maid was also very confused.

Xue Qingyin suddenly looked back at Qiu Xin, smiled and said: "You are not lying to me, are you?"

Qiu Xin was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat and stammered: "Of course, of course not."

The voice of Emperor Liang De rang in the room: "Which one is Qiao Aiqing's daughter?"

The young woman in the lilac and purple dress stood up gracefully, walked to the middle, bowed to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Qiao Xinyu, pays her respects."

Joe…

Which great official is named Qiao?

Xue Qingyin thought carefully.

However, the original body's brain was empty, and he knew nothing except He Songning in his chest.

At this time, Emperor Liang De, who was sitting at the table, could only hear a smile and said: "Your father mentioned you in the note he sent to greet you last month. He is far away in Jiannan Road and cannot take care of you and your mother as well as you, which is also a pain for you."

The girl from the Qiao family once again bowed and said, "My father is so valued by your majesty. Everyone in the house does not feel bitter, and it is too late to be filled with gratitude."

Emperor Liang De asked her: "How is your mother lately?"

"I dare not worry Your Majesty. It is getting warmer every day, and my mother's body bones are getting stronger."

"You are sixteen now, right?"

"Back to Your Majesty, my daughter is seventeen."

"It's long past time to discuss marriage."

"In the seventh year of Longfu, my grandmother passed away due to illness. Everyone in the family was so sad that they couldn't care about other things."

"He is a good boy with a filial heart."

After asking some questions, Emperor Liang De waved his hand and said: "Come closer." Then he pointed to a white dragon cake in front of him: "Your father always likes to eat this. You can try it for him."

Then, he ordered the little eunuch beside him to bring this dish to Qiao Xinyu's table.

If you can get food from the emperor, you will naturally be honored and favored.

Qiao Xinyu quickly bowed and thanked her again, and then returned to her seat in a polite manner.

It attracted the envy of other noble ladies.

They were still afraid when they met the emperor, but Miss Qiao was already able to answer questions fluently in front of His Majesty. Having a good father and mother is different!

Xue Qingyin has almost guessed the origin of the Qiao family now.

Far away on Jiannan Road.

It shows that her father is not a Beijing official.

The local official could actually make Qiu Xin say "I can't afford to offend", which means that Qiao Xinyu's father should be the highest official in the local area - Jiedushi.

The Jiedushi can be regarded as a great official in a feudal territory.

Indeed, he is not a petty official who can be offended casually.

But Jiannan Road is not a wealthy place, and Xue Chengdong is not bad in comparison!

Unless Miss Qiao's mother was also well-connected, the emperor would specifically ask about her mother's health.

As Xue Qingyin's thoughts turned around, Emperor Liang De ordered another girl to come out.

It’s still the same conversation as before.

But this time, the person who stood in front of the emperor was the girl from the Lu family who took the initiative to talk to Xue Qingyin on the day they visited the lake.

Xue Qingyin understood...

Whenever someone is singled out by the emperor at a palace banquet and asked specifically about how old they are, whether they are planning to get married, etc., this is sending a signal to others, right?

Lu and Qiao are obviously the default princesses!

I just don’t know which one is destined for King Xuan and which one is destined for King Wei?

Also, King Xuan said that she would be promised to King Wei today. Could the operation in the Qingsi Palace just now really cancel the emperor's decision?

Is the emperor's decision so easily swayed?

Xue Qingyin thought about it and felt that the twists and turns were really complicated. She lowered her head and drank.

Ah, bah bah.

Unpalatable.

At this time, Miss Lu also ended the conversation and sat back.

Xue Qingyin raised her head again and could clearly see that the faces of the other noble ladies were full of hope. They all hoped that their names would be called by the emperor.

Although they only said a few words, the " limelight " they gained at this palace banquet was enough to make them proud for at least three or four years, right?

Xue Qingyin thought to herself, I can understand things, why can't you?

This is not something that can be singled out just because someone is good-looking.

I still have to fight with my parents.

Qiu Xin's nervous sigh suddenly reached Xue Qingyin's ears.

She couldn't help but glance at Qiuxin's master and servant.

Xue Qinghe looked indifferent, but Qiu Xin's face was full of disappointment, as if she was still looking forward to making a splash at the palace banquet today...

"My maid Liu Yuerong has met Your Majesty."

In the blink of an eye, another noble girl was named.

Xue Qingyin raised her eyes and glanced.

She was sure that she had never seen this Miss Liu before, but her figure seemed vaguely familiar.

This time Emperor Liang De asked her more questions.

First, he asked what books he likes to read on weekdays, and then asked about his age and whether he was married.

Then Emperor Liang De said with a smile: "She is a good girl with beautiful breasts."

Liu Yuerong showed a trace of uncontrollable joy and hurriedly bowed to thank the emperor for his praise.

Emperor Liang De immediately changed his voice and said, "Well, I think he is a good match for the King of Wei! What do you think, noble concubine?"

Concubine Wan laughed: "Your Majesty said so."

Obviously this choice is very suitable for her.

A girl from the Lu family would be best...but the girl from the Liu family is also very good!

Xue Qingyin's movements stopped for a moment.

Does it really work?

It was really someone else who pointed it out to King Wei!
