After making this announcement, Mr. Chong was overjoyed. He kept nodding, thanking and toasting in return. He seemed to have become much younger all of a sudden.
Chong Ximo sat next to his father, with no expression on his face. He was just silent. This was the emperor's order. Even if he didn't want to, he had to acquiesce. But in fact, the Mongolian princess Ulunzhu was as beautiful as a flower. What did he have?
What's the reason for not wanting to?
When Chu Qiao heard the emperor's words, she almost spilled the kumiss she was holding, and her face suddenly turned pale. She shouldn't have been surprised by this news, but after hearing it, she still couldn't calm down.
After coming down, with the emperor's announcement, the marriage was finalized, and Chong Ximo would definitely marry the Mongolian princess as his official wife.
Perhaps it was the effect of the alcohol. Chu Qiao put down the kumiss and instantly felt weak all over. She didn't even have the strength to hold the wine glass.
The Mongolian princess Ulunzhu, who was sitting on the other side of the Mongolian Queen, had red cheeks and lowered her head shyly. It seemed that she was very satisfied with the marriage. Chong Ximo's talent made her fall in love at first sight.
"The man is talented and the woman is beautiful. They are a perfect match."
"Yeah, I hope they can get together soon."
Words of praise and congratulations were heard endlessly, and among these compliments, a discordant shout suddenly came. Outside the hall, someone rushed over. It was Princess Xuening. She had an aura on her face and shouted loudly.
"Brother, you lied to me, you lied to me! You once told me that you would try your best to fulfill all my wishes, but I only have one wish, and you can't give it to me!"
Princess Xuening burst into tears. She had been standing outside the main hall, waiting, hoping not to hear the emperor's brother announcing the marriage between Chong Ximo and the Mongolian princess, but the emperor still said it. Her pleas and cries last night turned out to be...
It's all in vain.
Chu Qiao was also startled by such a sudden change. She didn't expect that after such a great thing, a disruptor would come. Even the Mongolian princess Ulunzhu changed her face and asked displeasedly.
"who is she?"
"Princess Xuening." Someone answered the princess's question in a low voice.
Wu Lunzhu pursed her lips, then turned to look at the queen.
"Eji, does Chong Ximo have a sweetheart? Why didn't you tell me?" Wu Lunzhu felt aggrieved. She had already kept Chong Ximo in her heart. How could she bear that the person he liked was not her.
"I think this may be a misunderstanding." The Mongolian Queen's face didn't look good either. Although this marriage was the result of discussions between the two monarchs, she still had to understand the actual situation. She had already lost a daughter and she must not let this happen.
The woman was wronged.
"I hope it's a misunderstanding." Wu Lunzhu became much more emotionally stable after listening to her Eji's words.
Chu Qiao sat quietly, listening to Wu Lunzhu's words, feeling as if she had become a thief. In fact, the woman Chong Ximo liked was not Princess Xuening, but the woman sitting next to her Eji. If she knew
Knowing this fact, I don’t know how to feel?
Chu Qiao pursed her lips and suppressed her guilty conscience. Since she and Chong Ximo had broken off and become a thing of the past, they should each go their separate ways. Whoever he marries or doesn't marry should have nothing to do with him.
"You haven't pulled her away yet, what a nonsense!" The emperor was a little angry. Since there were distinguished guests, he couldn't slam the table casually, so he could only ask the prince to quickly lead people to take the princess away. The princess was very willful. If the trouble continued like this,
It will make him lose face.
The prince and several young eunuchs ran over and pulled Xuening out. The princess and her aunt screamed and almost knelt down to beg her.
Princess Xuening shed tears. She bit her lip and stared at the emperor, the queen, and the empress dowager. She felt that they had all discussed it in private, and they all knew that this matter would be announced today, but they
They chose to hide it from her. They should know that she has liked Chong Ximo for a long time.
"You all lied to me..." Princess Xuening's voice became much softer and she became powerless. She was dragged out by the prince and several young eunuchs.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, the Queen quickly came to the rescue and whispered to the Mongolian Queen.
"The princess is spoiled and speaks without thinking. Queen, don't mind. This marriage is still settled."
"Of course not." The Mongolian Queen was not an ignorant person.
"I usually dote on Wu Lunzhu. It's understandable and I don't mind."
Everyone raised their glasses and drank, and the unhappiness just now passed quickly.
Although the Mongolian princess had some doubts, they were eliminated by Princess Xuening's departure. In order to know whether Chong Ximo liked her, she stood up with a glass of kumiss and wanted to toast Chong Ximo herself.
Chu Qiao felt inferior to the Mongolian woman's boldness. She watched Wu Lunzhu move toward Chong Ximo. While admiring her, she was also a little sad. When would she be able to be like Wu Lunzhu and boldly walk towards her love without any worries?
scruples.
It seemed that there would be no chance of daring, not only because of the situation in her heart, but also because the fate she expected was already far away.
The Mongolian princess walked up to Chong Ximo, who stood up and picked up the wine glass.
"Thank you princess for your kindness."
After he said this, he drank it all in one gulp without even glancing at the Mongolian princess.
Wu Lunzhu drank the kumiss in the cup and couldn't explain the feeling in her heart. When she saw Chong Ximo standing up, with his tall and majestic body, resolute facial features and handsome eyes, she felt even more admired. But she was looking forward to the warm love.
She didn't see it, which made her even more disappointed.
Turning back to her seat, Princess Wu Lunzhu was a little distracted, because during this toast, she did not feel Chong Ximo's infatuation with her at all. On the contrary, it seemed that this was just a state matter.
The state banquet was finally over. The Empress sent the Mongolian Queen to her hotel, the Empress Dowager also left, and the ministers retired.
Eunuch Wang followed the emperor all the way, carefully keeping a smile on his face, and Eunuch Li followed tremblingly behind.
"How is An Ge?" the emperor asked coldly.
"What else can I do? I can't leave here, and I can't go and see. I'm worried to death." Wang Gonggong said.
"So? Where is Li Chunxiang?" The emperor asked angrily. He kept staring at her during the state banquet, but after the state banquet, he disappeared.
"It was said that the Queen of Mongolia was invited to go to the Queen of Mongolia's residence. You may not know, Your Majesty, that Li Chunxiang is responsible for the aromatherapy where the distinguished guests stay."
Before the prince could speak openly, Eunuch Li spoke first.
The prince rolled his eyes and said something.
"I will go to the Mongolian Queen's hotel and wait for her in a while. As soon as she comes out, I will arrest her. If the Thirteenth Prince has any trouble, he will be escorted directly to Dali Temple!"
