Empress Dowager Gao lost her thoughts and stared at Xie Wanying who was lowering her head.
As the granddaughter of Prime Minister Xie, Xie Wanying can set an example for a noble lady in terms of both her appearance and her conduct. If this girl becomes the Princess of Qin, she will definitely become a great help to the King of Qin.
While the Queen Mother was thinking, the voice of the old emperor beside her rang again: "Huang Yushuang, the daughter of Huang Zhenye, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, has a sensitive nature, gentleness and grace, and I am giving her..."
Before the old emperor finished speaking, the Queen Mother's voice sounded: "Your Majesty."
The Queen Mother's expression was indescribably ugly.
She guessed that His Majesty was going to give Huang Yushuang, the daughter of the Huang family, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, to the King of Qin as his royal concubine.
There were so many powerful women in the court, but the emperor chose to give Huang Yushuang, the daughter of the Minister of Industry, to the King of Qin as his concubine. This was clearly an act of revenge against her.
She thought that the previous matter was over, but she didn't expect that the emperor was waiting for her here, and the Queen Mother's face was as ugly as possible.
She looked at the emperor with eyes full of prayer.
Unfortunately, the old emperor had already made up his mind to teach the Queen Mother and the Gao family a lesson. He continued without changing his expression: "Huang Yushuang, the daughter of the minister of the Ministry of Industry, is given to the Queen of Qin as the royal concubine."
The hall was quiet for a moment. Many people in the hall were optimistic about King Qin and wanted to marry him as his concubine.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty actually gave the daughter of the Huang family to the King of Qin as his concubine. Although the daughter of the Huang family was the daughter of a second-rank official, she was not enough to be seen on the court.
The Huang family was the first to wake up. Mrs. Huang and Huang Yushuang stood up in fear and thanked them: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
The old emperor waved his hand, and then issued a decree: "The Tang Dynasty poem of the Protector General's Mansion is dignified in appearance, elegant and generous, and can be regarded as a role model for women. I am now bestowed as the royal concubine of Prince Kang."
In the main hall, everyone was silent again. The Protector General's Mansion was an important minister of Dayan, and he had a lot of troops.
Tang Shi was of such high status that his Majesty unexpectedly gave her to King Kang as his concubine.
In this way, King Ming and King Kang both got a good marriage, but King Qin's marriage was not as satisfactory.
Could it be that the Queen Mother and the Gao family have offended His Majesty?
Everyone looked at the Queen Mother, King Qin and the Gao family suspiciously.
The Queen Mother's face was almost distorted, and her eyes were terrifyingly gloomy.
It's a pity that the emperor ignored her at all. He turned around and glanced at the head of the palace. He proposed his beloved daughter Princess Changle to Yang Yao, the commander of the Wucheng Army and Horses Division, and proposed Gao Yuyan, the legitimate daughter of the Gao family, to Prime Minister Xie.
His grandson Xie Rong.
The faces of Princess Changle and Gao Yuyan were not very good-looking, especially Princess Changle. Her face was indescribably pale and her body was shaky. Everyone just thought she had been shocked.
At the head of the main hall, Concubine Feng felt very distressed when she saw her daughter like this.
She knew that her daughter was being used by His Majesty to win over his beloved ministers.
Yang Yao, the commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, is your Majesty's man. In order to win over Yang Yao, Your Majesty gave him the marriage proposal of Changle.
Concubine Feng gave Princess Changle a warning look. After the initial shock, Princess Changle quickly came to her senses. The matter was a foregone conclusion and she could not make her father unhappy.
Her father was the Son of Heaven, and he kept his word. Once he had spoken, she could not refuse.
Princess Changle quickly stood up and received the order to thank her.
"Thank you, Father, for the marriage."
The old emperor naturally saw Princess Changle's expression, but seeing that his daughter was sensible, he didn't blame her.
"Well, get up."
Gao Yuyan liked the fifth prince, King Qin, and now she was offered marriage to Xie Rong, the son of Prime Minister Xie. Gao Yuyan was not happy, but the Gao family warned her not to cause trouble. She did not dare to speak, so she had to stand up to thank her.
The old emperor looked at His Majesty's head. Even if everyone was dissatisfied, they still did not dare to disobey him, and he felt happy.
He just likes to see them have to give in to him.
The old emperor was in an indescribably good mood. He stood up and said, "Today's palace banquet?"
Before he finished speaking, the door of the main hall was suddenly blown open, and several figures flew from outside the hall.
Those people shot in and went straight to the old emperor at the head.
The old emperor's expression changed, and Prince An's Crown Prince Pei Yusheng, who was at the front, immediately stepped out and shouted: "There are assassins, protect your majesty."
In the palace, everyone's expressions changed, and many ladies and young ladies among them screamed in panic.
Pei Lin and Feng Jing looked at each other quickly, and both of them knew that this assassination incident was probably aimed at them.
The two figures moved at the same time, heading straight towards the old emperor. They both shouted at the same time: "Guard, protect your majesty, protect your majesty quickly."
He looked like a loyal minister.
Pei Yusheng, the eldest son of Prince An, felt his eyebrows pounding when he saw them heading straight towards the old emperor.
In the main hall, there was a mess, screams and cries were heard non-stop, and many people subconsciously ran out of the main hall.
Guards rushed in outside the palace, and the scene was chaotic and difficult to control.
Pei Lin and Feng Jing desperately rushed in front of the old emperor to stop the black-clothed assassin who was charging towards him.
Pei Yusheng and the old emperor looked at each other quickly, with murderous intent flashing in their eyes.
However, the guards of Prince Jin's Mansion flashed over at this time and protected Pei Lin and Feng Jing.
Feng Jing's subordinate Li Xiuzhu Qingluan rushed forward to protect them, not wanting to lag behind.
Pei Lin himself was very powerful in martial arts, and the assassins who rushed towards him couldn't get close to them in a short period of time.
Pei Lin led the guards of Prince Jin's Palace on a killing spree, killing two assassins in the blink of an eye, like a god of murder.
Not surprisingly, these people were the old emperor's people. The old emperor wanted to use these people to kill him, so he killed these people he had carefully trained.
Not far away, Princess Changle saw Feng Jing standing in front of the emperor with a protective look, and hatred flashed in her eyes.
Seeing the assassin assassinating her father, she panicked and ran around like a rope without a head, and finally ended up not far from Feng Jing.
Princess Changle's eyes flashed with murderous intent. She quickly reached out and took out the dagger from her sleeve, and pretended to rush in front of Emperor Xiaoren: "Father, I'm here to protect you."
As soon as she finished speaking, the assassin swung his sword.
The sword energy forced her to retreat quickly.
Princess Changle spun around and stabbed Feng Jing not far away with the dagger in her hand.
Feng Jing's face darkened, a sneer appeared on her lips, she raised her foot and kicked her out. At this time, the assassin's sword came straight towards her.
She moved to avoid it, then her steps became unsteady, and she bumped into Princess Changle. Princess Changle was knocked down by her, and she staggered and slammed into Princess Changle.
Princess Changle was pushed to the ground by her, and she suddenly screamed: "Ah, my hand."
Not far away, the assassin dodged and shot again, and swung his long sword towards Feng Jing fiercely with sword energy.
Feng Jing leaned back and rolled on the spot, avoiding the assassin's sword, but one of her arms was still injured by the sword energy.
She was so painful that she cried out: "Ah."
Li Xiuzhu and Qingluan rushed over and started fighting with the assassin.
Not far away, Pei Lin was also stabbed in the arm by an assassin. Dongli Nanli and others quickly protected their master.
The two subordinates looked at Pei Yusheng at the same time: "Prince An, are all the guards in the palace just decorations? There are so many people here for such a long time, where have the others gone?"
