No matter how favored Princess Lingyun was, she would not dare to show off her power in front of Tai Shuqi, who held military power.
Her momentum seemed to be much lower, and she weakly shouted, "Prince Qin."
Tai Shuqi let go of her hand, and Princess Lingyun lost her balance, staggered, and almost fell. Fortunately, the palace servant behind her had quick eyesight and hands to help her.
Princess Lingyun was so frightened that she hurriedly stood up and saluted Taishu Ai, "The prince is serious. Lingyun is just teaching people the rules, not showing off his power."
She looked well-behaved, as if the person who had just fought hard with Xie Wanyu was not her.
Lin Yanran and Xie Wanyu looked at each other and curled their lips involuntarily.
Taishu Ai glanced at her sideways, holding his hands behind his back. Xie Wanyu, who was hiding behind him, couldn't help but follow his movements and look at his fingers. He was obviously a man who wielded swords and guns, but his hands were extremely beautiful, fair and slender. Xie Wanyu couldn't help but look away when she thought of this.
"When it comes to rules, you should learn them the most. How many people did you bring to the palace banquet? Just a maid and a wife, but you even brought a few faces!" Tai Shuqi did not save Princess Lingyun any face. .
Sure enough, in the next second, Princess Lingyun blushed, but said in a trembling voice, "Those are not faces, but my staff. They are all sons and daughters of good families, and they should not be ruined by the prince like this."
Tai Shuqi didn't say anything yet, he just looked at him sternly.
Princess Lingyun was so frightened that she almost cried.
Fortunately, the Queen Mother and the Emperor arrived at this time, and the hall became quiet, and everyone knelt down to salute.
The young emperor looked very similar to the Queen Mother, and he looked very handsome, but his eyes were wandering, and he did not look like a mature person.
"Stand flat." He helped the Queen Mother sit on the top before saying these two words.
Seeing that everyone had returned to their seats, Xie Wanyu separated from Lin Yanran and reluctantly sat next to Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing looked at her coldly, and then reluctantly snorted from her nose.
At this time, the emperor spoke, mostly praising Tai Shuqi, saying how he had brought glory to the country and how brave and fearless he was.
Everyone agreed.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, the emperor's face already had a hint of blush.
"Uncle Emperor, the military talisman has been in your hands since I was a child..."
At the mention of the military talisman, everyone held their breath and concentrated, and the originally lively atmosphere suddenly turned awkward. Xie Wanyu had just eaten a piece of pastry and immediately put down her chopsticks.
Is this emperor really stupid or pretending to be stupid for mentioning the military talisman on such an occasion? However, this is also in line with his suspicious temperament.
Tai Shuyi's eyes darkened.
No one dared to make a sound.
Fortunately, at this time, the Queen Mother laughed and said, "Don't joke, Emperor. Your uncle will think you don't trust me." After she finished speaking, she smoothed the broken hair behind her ears and looked at Taishu Qi with charming eyes. "The Ai family and the King of Qin are young friends. Now that you have triumphed, I have to offer you a toast no matter what."
The Queen Mother raised her armored fingers slightly and picked up the wine bottle.
Only then did Tai Shuxuan's eyes change, and he said respectfully, "The Queen Mother betrayed the humble ministers." After that, he drank it all in one gulp.
In an instant, he started joking with the people next to him and didn't look at the Queen Mother again.
The Queen Mother looked lonely, drank the wine, then looked at the courtiers and ladies below, and finally locked her eyes on one position.
Xie Wanyu also accidentally noticed that the Queen Mother's eyes seemed to be looking towards her.
When she turned around, she found an elegant lady sitting next to her.
She behaved dignifiedly, smiled without showing her teeth, her skin was as good as snow, and her beautiful eyes were shining. Even Xie Wanyu was attracted by this girl's appearance.
It’s not that amazing, but even though I think it looks good, I can’t tell you what’s so good about it.
Zhu Fang noticed Xie Wanyu's gaze very carefully, and then whispered, "Madam, this is the second young lady of the Sun family, Sun Mofan, whose father is the Minister of Rites."
After hearing Zhu Fang's words, Xie Wanyu was a little surprised.
After all, officials such as the Minister of Rites should not be able to sit in this position. The seats in the entire hall are arranged according to official positions. Xiao Jing is also listed as Yu Hou, how can he sit next to such a minor official.
But the Queen Mother soon answered her doubts.
"I heard that the second lady of the Sun family is engaged to the King of Qin? Come here and let the Ai family have a look." Queen Mother Guo suddenly said.
Sun Mofan's face turned red and he hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Report to the Queen, my daughter, I have not been engaged to the King of Qin."
"It's just that I just matched my birth date." Tai Shuqi drank a glass of wine and said nonchalantly.
But his words stirred up waves.
No wonder the Sun family is able to sit in this position because it turns out they have something to do with Tai Shuqi. But for so many years, Tai Shuqi has been afraid of avoiding women, so why does he suddenly think about it now?
Xie Wanyu lowered her eyes slightly and raised the corners of her mouth.
She didn't believe that Tai Shuqi thought this girl was beautiful and wanted to marry her. Instead, it was because the girl's status was not noble, and the family behind her could not bring any help to Tai Shuqi.
He wanted to use this to relieve the emperor's wariness against him.
Sure enough, the emperor was very happy after hearing that the girl Tai Shuzhen wanted to marry was Miss Sun Er, "I am looking for a noble girl for the emperor's uncle to marry, but I never expected that the emperor's uncle already has his heart."
After all, he was still young, so it was difficult for him to conceal the secret joy in his heart.
On the other hand, Queen Mother Guo's beautiful eyes turned gloomy when she looked at Miss Sun Er, "The King of Qin is the leader of my great family, how can such a woman be worthy of him?"
Her voice was cold, very different from her usual friendly demeanor.
Xie Wanyu looked at the Queen Mother and then at Tai Shuqi, and a bold guess emerged in her heart.
"The Empress Dowager's words are serious. It's love that arouses, not to mention high or low birth. Didn't Renzong and you, the Empress Dowager, not care about clan etiquette or status and background?" Tai Shuzhen said in a cold voice.
Queen Mother Guo clenched her fists and looked defeated.
The Guo family was not as prosperous as it is now, and the Guo family clan had offended the late emperor.
At first, the late emperor deliberately excluded the Guo family from the selection of girls. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but the emperor came across the Guo family when he was out of the palace on a tour, and it became a good story from then on.
After the Guo family entered the palace, the Guo family slowly flourished.
At first, many people criticized her, saying that Empress Dowager Guo did it intentionally. It was not until the emperor took charge that such words gradually dissipated.
Now that Tai Shuyi mentioned it, Queen Mother Guo naturally looked ugly.
She could no longer control herself, and rarely let go of her dignity. She looked at the Second Miss Sun with a malicious look, "The Second Miss of the Sun family, do you think you are worthy of the King of Qin?"
"My daughter, I know that my qualifications are shallow. It is my blessing to be favored by the King of Qin. I dare not be proud. I only want to say shamelessly, as long as you care about me, I will live up to your love."
Xie Wanyu admired Sun Mofan for being so weak and weak, but could say such words.
Queen Mother Guo was stunned, and said with a stiff face for a long time, "Okay, okay, okay."
She said three times.
The emperor was still interested, "Why don't I grant you the marriage today?"
