Chapter 721: The Xia Kingdom's Royal Family Is Ending
After "Tongtai Song in the Prosperous Age", the dancer entered the palace, and Yun Shang heard "Green Waist" playing. The dancer danced to the music, her body as soft as boneless, yet so charming.
The palace maid served the hot dish, Luo Qingyan lowered her head and picked up a piece of ribs for Yun Shang, and said with a smile: "I ate this dish in the Tai Chi Palace some time ago. I thought it tasted good. I always wanted you to try it too."
I tried it, but always forgot about it, so I finally saw it."
When Yun Shang heard this, she also laughed. She lowered her head and ate the spareribs on the plate. The spareribs were fried in hot oil and were crispy and fragrant. However, as Luo Qingyan said, it tasted good.
Yun Shang was eating happily when she felt eyes falling on her. Yun Shang raised her head and looked in the direction where her eyes came from, and saw a woman looking at her intently. She looked over.
, and then withdrew his gaze.
Yun Shang's expression paused slightly, but the smile at the corner of his mouth was tinged with a bit of coldness. Yun Shang did remember that the woman was the daughter of Li Ye, who was ranked second in the list. At the banquet after the last autumn exam, the woman said in front of him,
He showed extreme interest in Luo Qingyan, and even provoked her. Yun Shang didn't take it to heart at that time, but now it seems that the girl's eyes just now still had something that shouldn't be there.
He is quite persistent.
After a few songs and dances, the courtiers present took the opportunity to drink a lot of wine, and some people began to become bold, raised their wine glasses and walked towards Luo Qingyan tremblingly.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is wise and mighty. I would like to offer you a drink." Yun Shang did not recognize the official who was toasting. She just looked at the color of the court uniform, which should be above the third grade.
The corner of Luo Qingyan's mouth curled up slightly, and he raised his wine glass: "I heard that Mr. Sun can drink a thousand glasses of wine, but I want to experience it today, so I'll do it first as a token of respect."
Luo Qingyan raised his head, and when he turned the wine bottle over, there was no wine left in the bottle.
When Mr. Sun saw this, he burst into laughter: "Your Majesty is really bold and generous. I admire you and admire you."
Seeing someone opening his mouth, the people in the palace lost the restraints they had just now, and many more courtiers came to toast. However, Luo Qingyan did not refuse anyone who came, and they all exchanged a few words of greeting, and then drank it all in one gulp.
Yun Shang's eyes fell on the woman who had been looking at her before. She was also wearing a rouge-colored long skirt today. On the deep winter day, the skirt looked very thin and compared to
Others are a bit more elegant.
She didn't know what she was thinking, but kept stroking the wine glass in front of her. Yun Shang smiled and turned her eyes away.
Seeing another person toasting and leaving, Yun Shang whispered to Luo Qing: "Drink less."
Luo Qingyan did not respond, but gently shook Yun Shang's hand. Yun Shang was about to speak, but heard another voice coming over: "Your Majesty, Li Lanyi, a citizen girl, would like to toast your Majesty."
Yun Shang turned her head and saw that the rouge-colored figure was already in front of her. Her appearance was outstanding, especially her eyes, which were watery and seemed to be seductive.
Apart from the sound of music, the voices in the hall were much quieter. Yun Shang raised her eyes and saw everyone's eyes glancing over here, presumably to see how Luo Qingyan would respond.
Yun Shang lowered his head and thought to himself that this girl is quite bold. If her position was not wrong, Yun Shang would actually appreciate this girl's acting style. She was direct and bold without any cover-up, but it was a pity that she was right for the wrong person.
Luo Qingyan held the wine bottle in his hand, turned it slightly, then raised his head, looked at Li Lanyi, then turned to Yun Shang and said: "It's rare for a woman to come to toast, Chang'er, you
Let’s have a drink together and wish Miss Li a happy marriage as soon as possible.”
Hearing this, Yun Shang curled up the corner of her mouth, smiled, and asked softly: "How old will Miss Li be then? Although Miss Li's background is not very good, fortunately Tanhua Lang is now an official in the court, and he is also
The pillar of the country. Moreover, Miss Li has outstanding appearance and talent. Among this Jincheng family, Miss Li’s current status is almost worthy of it. If Miss Li likes someone, just talk to me.
Yes, I am willing to make this decision for Miss Li."
Li Lanyi's complexion was already a little bad. After hearing Yun Shang's words, she bit her lip and said: "Among the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, the people's daughters only think that your majesty is mighty and brave, and he is both civil and military. Empress, the people's daughter wants to marry you."
Your Majesty is your concubine, is your Majesty willing to make this decision for the daughter of the people?"
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, with obvious surprise flashing in her eyes. She never expected that she would say this. Luo Qingyan's attitude was already obvious just now. Yun Shang was just afraid that she would be embarrassed, so she made a special trip to
He walked her down the steps. But he didn't expect that Li Lanyi actually wanted to step on her head by stepping on the steps.
The palace suddenly became quiet, and the palace music just finished playing a song, and you could actually hear a pin drop.
Yun Shang curled up her lips and smiled. Before she could speak, she heard Luo Qingyan's voice gradually turning cold: "Don't say that I don't want to choose a concubine. Even if I choose a concubine, I won't choose someone like this.
He has no talent, no appearance, and he is so dissolute in front of so many people, and his conduct is bad. I don’t want to become a joke to the whole world.”
These words are extremely serious. Li Lanyi's father, Li Ye, the flower scout last year, looked at the appearance that his current position should be from the fifth rank. He had been sitting in the palace and had not spoken before. He heard Luo Qingyan say such words.
He raised his head in surprise, looked at Luo Qingyan and Ning Yunshang, but quickly lowered his head.
Yun Shang was a little confused. Seeing his daughter being humiliated like this, he seemed to not want to stand up at all. He was really a coward.
Li Lanyi suddenly laughed. There was a bit of irony in the laughter. It was a little soft at first, as if she was suppressing her laughter, and then it became louder and louder, covering up the palace music that had just been played.
Yun Shang frowned and looked at Li Lanyi, thinking in her heart, could it be that Luo Qingyan's words had such a huge impact on her that she was actually crazy?
Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly heard Li Lanyi say with a smile: "Don't you want to become a joke to everyone in the world?"
Li Lanyi looked at Luo Qingyan steadily, then looked at Yun Shang beside Luo Qingyan, and laughed again: "Your Majesty, don't you realize that just saying this is already a big joke? Your Majesty
Don’t you think it’s a big joke that you still regard the woman next to you as a treasure and let us respect this woman as the mother of a country? Your Majesty, the person who makes you a joke in the world is definitely not me, Li Lanyi.
But her, Ning Yunshang."
Everyone in the hall was shocked by Li Lanyi's treacherous words, and they all looked at her. Luo Qingyan had a faint vein popping up on her forehead, but Yun Shang's eyes were filled with doubts. She had doubted it before.
Li Ye was the person arranged by Xia Houjing. If so, Li Lanyi was probably deliberately arranged by Xia Houjing. But why would Xia Houjing choose this woman? Although he has a direct temper and dares to take action, she is still too far ahead.
Take off some clothes. Dare to utter such arrogant words in front of all the civil and military officials. You must know that even with these few words she just said, executing her is just a matter of words.
"Come here!" Luo Qingyan already showed displeasure and spoke loudly. The palace music in the palace suddenly stopped, and the whole palace was silent. Even the half-drunk officials raised their eyes and looked at this person.
Looking over, in the quiet Tai Chi Hall, Luo Qingyan's voice could only be heard echoing in the hall, accompanied by Li Lanyi's laughter.
"Pull this woman out and put her in a prison." Luo Qingyan said sternly.
The guard walked in from outside the door. The sound of footsteps, accompanied by the sound of armor scraping, was particularly clear in the silent palace. The guard walked to Li Lanyi and took Li Lanyi's hand.
Li Lanyi's laughter suddenly stopped, but her eyes suddenly became sharp. She turned her head and looked at Yun Shang steadily, and then she laughed again: "Joke, it is really a big joke. This is the first time I heard it.
, an emperor, a harem, only one queen, and no other concubines. And this queen is also a queen who can no longer have children. There is no way to have children... The Xia Kingdom's royal family will be extinct.
!Tell me, is this a joke?”
The laughter was so loud that it echoed in the Tai Chi Hall. It took Yun Shang a while to come back to her senses and understand what Li Lanyi was talking about. Why was she unable to have children? Why was the royal family going to be extinct?
Before Yun Shang came back to her senses, the hall suddenly felt like a pot exploding, filled with whispers.
"What did she say?" Yun Shang's face was full of surprise, and she raised her head and looked at Luo Qingyan.
Luo Qingyan's face was already livid, and he shouted loudly: "This woman has gone crazy. Guards, if you don't pull her down yet, there is no need to drag her into the sky prison. If you slander the reputation of the royal family like this, she will be executed directly!" Xu Shi
I used too much force and my voice was hoarse.
Yun Shang's eyes fell on Luo Qingyan's face. Luo Qingyan's forehead had bulging veins, his eyes were red, and his hands were tightly grasping the royal table in front of him, and the veins on his hands were also bulging.
Yun Shang had never seen Luo Qingyan so excited, but she was even more suspicious in her heart. Logically speaking, no one would believe this. After all, she gave birth to Bao'er healthily.
Yun Shang only felt that Li Lanyi's words were a bit funny and full of absurdity. However, Luo Qingyan's such a big reaction made her a little suspicious.
Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at Li Lanyi, who was being pulled out of the palace by the guards. Li Lanyi looked at her steadily, with ridicule in her eyes.
Xia Houjing, who had chosen thousands of people, would not be so stupid as to use such a clumsy lie to kill himself, and in front of all the civil and military officials of the dynasty.
If what Li Lanyi wanted was for all the civil and military officials and Xia Huanyu to suspect her, then she could not let Li Lanyi go under any circumstances at this time. If Li Lanyi died, all the civil and military officials in the court would doubt whether she was really in love with her.
As Li Lanyi said.
"Wait a minute." Yun Shang spoke softly. (To be continued)
