Under the gaze of everyone, the body of the teenage girl was trembling slightly, but her eyes were firm and her spine was straight. She spoke so boldly, and although her voice was childish, there was a faint sound of gold and stone.
Zhang glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw Zhu, who had always kept a straight face and expressionless, slightly curved at the corner of her mouth... Well, luckily the engagement process has been completed, otherwise... this daughter would be impossible to keep.
Yang, Mrs. Ying Guogong, looked at Miss Cui with great interest, then turned to look at Princess Qi who was pale but speechless, thinking that today would be interesting.
One is the daughter of the Yang family of Hongnong, who married into the royal family as Princess Qi, and the other is the legitimate daughter of the Cui family of Qinghe, who is engaged to Li Huairen, who has become famous in recent years and has won the favor of His Majesty. In fact, the difference in status is not big, both of them are under twenty.
Not very experienced.
But although Princess Qi said those words just for the sake of gambling, she unintentionally expressed her attitude. You must know that she cannot represent the Hongnong Yang family, even because the incident just now involved the same Hongnong Yang family.
Princess Nanyang is not allowed to make an attack, but as the royal concubine of Prince Qi, she can represent Prince Qi's palace.
Nowadays, everyone knows about the situation in the DPRK. Dong Gong has roped in King Qi to check King Qin. And when Princess Qi said these words, does it mean that King Qi hates Li Shan? Is there any intention behind it from Dong Gong?
Someone's eyes have already fallen on Crown Princess Zheng Guanyin... When mentioning Li Shan, they all talk about Dongshan Li Huairen. Who doesn't know the relationship between Dongshan Temple and Li Shan?
Aren’t you here to play football today, are you?
Mrs. Cui was engaged to Li Shan and resolutely came forward at this time, but she could not represent the Cui family of Qinghe... Although she used reasons that no one could fault to make Princess Qi feel tight and short of breath.
Just as Yang was thinking this, a middle-aged woman beside her suddenly stood up and raised her voice: "On that day, Your Majesty praised Li Langjun as the best in the world, with both civil and military skills. If it is difficult to write a poem in the future, but he has made great contributions and defended the country's borders.
A blessing for the country!”
Princess Qin smiled and nodded, "That's exactly it."
Several women spoke one after another to break the almost solid atmosphere. Changsun leaned slightly and explained to Zhu: "This person was born in the Cui family's small house in Qinghe..."
Mrs. Zhu raised her eyebrows. She remembered that Cui Bo, who was beheaded by her son, was the younger brother of the Little House.
But the Changsun family continued in a low voice: "When you marry the Sun family in Wucheng, your husband will be Sun Fujia, a Jinshi scholar in the same field as Huairen."
Only then did Zhu realize that she knew that Sun Fujia was second only to her son in the Jinshi department last year, and that he had even visited her... The year before last, Li Shan had sent Su Dingfang to conquer Wucheng, and many wealthy families had been deeply favored by Li Shan.
Sun, the Marquis of Nan'an County, smiled and mentioned yesterday's battle report, "For such a great victory, Your Majesty will definitely receive a heavy reward. Maybe he will be promoted to Duke, but I don't know what the name will be?"
Princess Qin and the Crown Princess both frowned slightly and did not speak. They all knew the inside story of this matter. The Changsun family and the Zhu family also fell silent. They were all worried about this matter.
At this time, Princess Qi sneered and said: "A great victory at the fortress, chasing all night long, and driving far beyond the fortress..."
Everyone was stunned. Those who were close to the Hongnong Yang family were very surprised. Princess Qi has been stubborn since she was a child. Today, she has been humiliated twice but she wants to change her ways?
But then, Princess Qi changed the topic, "At such a young age, with many achievements in battle, I might be able to become a champion..."
"Shut up!" Crown Princess Zheng Guanyin couldn't bear it anymore and scolded: "Today's Lantern Festival..."
Before she finished speaking, Zhu stood up suddenly, her eyebrows stood up, and her eyes shone coldly, "My son fought against the Turks in the north and defended the country's borders. I respect you as a princess, but I curse her to die early!"
"I wonder if my son has offended His Highness King Qi, or if my son has disobeyed the sage's edict?!"
"Is it because I offended your Majesty today?"
Zhu took a few steps away from the case and said coldly: "If that's the case, I'll kowtow to apologize..."
Zheng Guanyin and Princess Qin could no longer sit still, and hurriedly stood up and supported Zhu on the left and right, who was about to kowtow... If he kowtows his head, it doesn't matter to the idiot Princess Qi, but it will damage the royal family's face.
Zhu opened her arms with force and said sternly: "Is this the behavior of a prince and a princess to curse the general who leads the army to an early death just because of his words?"
Zheng Guanyin and Princess Qin both had the urge to cover their faces. Before, they were just quarreling with the Hongnong Yang family, but now they have brought the entire clan with them... Why did a fool like Princess Qi come to Dongshan Temple today!
Everyone's eyes collided, looking at Mrs. Zhu who was furious, and then at Mrs. Cui who had an angry look on her face... They were really not from the same family, and they had the same strong temperament.
Princess Qin tried to persuade her in a low voice. She naturally knew why Mr. Zhu was so angry... This was Zhu's taboo.
After all, Li Shan and Huo Qubing are so similar. On the surface, they both became famous at a young age, fought against the barbarians, traveled to Mobei, and were favored by the emperor. One was the nephew of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the other was looked down upon by Li Yuan.
As nephews...even both of them became famous because of Princess Pingyang.
And secretly, Li Shan and Huo Qubing were both abandoned by their fathers, and they also had half-brothers.
With such similar life trajectories, how could Zhu not be secretly worried? Huo Qubing died on the 24th, and Li Shan was nineteen years old this year.
In the silence, Mrs. Changsun stood up and saluted with a cold face, "My Sanlang followed Huairen out of the fortress and pursued her all night. So far, no news has been received. May I ask Princess Qi, what name should I give her?"
Princess Qi's face turned green and white. She was still confident against the Zhu family, but against the Li family in Longxi, and the most powerful Danyang family at present...
"How can the champion compare with the Duke of Guantao County?" A girl who had been sitting silently stood up and said: "The champion traveled far away from Mobei, and the killing was heavy, but Li Langjun had benevolence and righteousness and set up a wounded barracks.
Saving lives and healing the wounded cannot be the same thing."
"That's what Fifth Sister said." Zheng Guanyin breathed a sigh of relief.
The girl stepped forward and held Zhu's hand, "Li Langjun planned for Shandong and went out to defeat the enemy. Because of his survival, many families will be able to live a hundred years. In the future, Madam Zhu will live in the same house for five generations, and they will be happy."
Madam Zhu stepped back and said, "Thank you, Princess Changguang."
This is Princess Changguang, Li Yuan's fifth daughter. She is the most suitable to mediate. On the one hand, she lost her husband at an early age and gained Li Yuan's pity. On the other hand, her second husband is Yang Shidao, who is now the Minister of Civil Affairs.
Although Yang Shidao was young, he was the youngest son of King Guan Yang Xiong, and his status in the Hongnong Yang family was second only to that of Zhongshu Ling Yang Gongren.
At this time, a maid came in and whispered a few words in Changsun's ear. After questioning, the latter sneered: "Let him in and repay him loudly!"
A moment later, the ignorant Zhang Wenguan stood at the door of the side hall, facing countless curious or suspicious eyes, and loudly said: "Mayi battle report, brother Huai Ren led the army to pursue in the snowy night, five battles in one night, consecutive battles and victories, beheading three people."
There were more than a thousand soldiers, thousands of war horses were captured, and Jieli Khan's only son Yugushe was captured alive, forcing the Turkic reinforcements to retreat!"
"The army returned to the fortress. Brother Huai Ren's new work was spread throughout Daizhou. It was a dark moon and a high wind. Shan Yu fled at night. He wanted to drive Qingqi away. The bow and sword were covered with heavy snow!"
The palace was quiet for a moment, and then the pot suddenly exploded, chattering like boiling water. Yang glanced at Princess Qi, who was mourning for her heir, and thought to herself in a funny way, she really brought it upon herself.
