"Okay, respect."
With a straight face, Nalan Yan grabbed the wine pot angrily, filled her own and Su Xian's glasses, then raised her glasses and said, "As the princess of Liao Kingdom, I would like to propose a toast to you, please!"
Seeing this, Su Bai also raised his glass without saying a word. He just clinked the glasses in the air and drank the whole drink in one gulp.
After putting down the wine glass, Su Xian still felt a little embarrassed when raising it, so he stopped delaying and went straight to the topic while watching Nalan Jie:
"Your Majesty, as for the reward...it is actually unnecessary."
"In the event of the enthronement celebration, although I solved a big problem for the Liao Kingdom and uncovered a hidden potential threat...but in fact, I was always Liang Chen, and what I did was also for Liang."
"I accept your Majesty's kindness, but in fact it is unnecessary and inappropriate."
Nalanjie smiled heartily:
"Brother Su, you're welcome. Although what Brother Su did was for the sake of the great beams, it also really saved the country of Liao, one yard at a time."
"Although I am new to the Great Treasure, I also understand the need for clear rewards and punishments. Brother Su's contribution is not small. If Brother Su had not turned the tide, the consequences would be really unimaginable, so I must reward him!"
Su Xian smiled bitterly and asked casually: "Then what is your Majesty planning to reward me?"
Nalanyan couldn't help laughing at the side: "Hypocrisy, just now you were upright and did not want a reward, but then you asked what the reward is? I think you just want it."
"Yan'er, shut up! Brother Su, don't ever get to know her..."
Nalanjie had a dark face.
Su Xian waved his hand and didn't take it seriously. He didn't even look at Nalan Yan and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't you want the minister who is too heavy? Your Majesty knows that the road back to Daliang from the south is not easy."
"Brother Su, please don't worry, the things I give you are not heavy, and you can still walk on your own."
Nalanjie smiled mysteriously.
Then he turned around and glanced at the imperial sister Nalanyan beside him.
When Nalan Yan saw this, she suddenly realized that the person that the emperor brother wanted to reward Su Xian was actually... her?
She is indeed not heavy and can still walk on her own.
What does the emperor think of me... When Nalanyan realized what she was doing, she became furious. She already had a hot temper. How could she bear this kind of humiliation?
She wanted to get angry and make a scene on the spot.
However, Nalan Yan did not act rashly in the end. She seemed to have thought of something and calmed down. She glanced sideways at Su Xian and quickly moved away...
She actually looks like a shy girl who is just starting to fall in love.
"Your Majesty is joking, what kind of reward can you walk on your own? Please forgive me for being ignorant." Su Bai did not see Nalan Yan's state.
Su Xian didn't see it, but Nalan Jie did.
With a thought in his mind, he stopped beating around the bush and said straightforwardly: "The thing I am giving to Brother Su this time is nothing else, but... Yan'er!"
"What is Yan'er...what?"
Su Xian stood up from his seat in shock, twitched the corner of his mouth and said with astonishment on his face: "Your Majesty, are you kidding me? Your Majesty wants to reward Princess Ruyi... to me?"
Although Nalan Yan had already guessed it, she was shocked at this moment and jumped up from her seat. Her instinct was to refuse, to refuse fiercely.
But as soon as the words came to my lips, I hesitated...
Perhaps, she should "gently refuse", but how exactly "gentle" should be, she couldn't decide for a moment, for fear of overdoing it, which would both embarrass herself and fail to achieve her goal.
Just when she was struggling, Su Xian took the initiative to express his position: "No! Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed! Please take back your order!"
Nalanjie had long expected Su Xian's reaction, so he still sat there calmly.
On the other hand, Nalan Yan was furious. She hadn't even refused, so Su Xian refused first? And he was still so anxious and decisive.
how? The imperial brother gave you a reward from this palace, but it made you feel aggrieved?
This made Nalan Yan, who was arrogant and proud, intolerable.
At the moment, she didn't care much, her face turned cold,
He said angrily: "Brother, what do you think of me? I am not an object, let alone given to him!"
Su Xian ignored Nalan Yan and only looked at Nalan Jie:
"Your Majesty, you know my situation. I already have many wives in my family. Besides, Princess Ruyi has golden branches and jade leaves. How dare I have such wishful thinking? Please take back my order."
"Humph, even if you are self-aware, who would want to marry you? You are just a toad who wants to eat swan meat." Nalan Yan said coldly.
"Brother Su, you are too humble..." Nalan Jie laughed. Now that he had said this, he had no scruples. In his opinion, Su Xian was completely worthy of Nalan Yan.
"..."
A quarter of an hour later.
Su Xian finally escaped from the palace and returned to the post house.
He talked hard and tried his best to stabilize the Nalan brothers and sisters. Otherwise, if Nalan Jie's wishes were followed, he and Nalan Yan would be allowed to enter the bridal chamber tonight!
How can this be done?
It's just too sloppy.
After Su Xian returned to the post house, he saw the carriages piled up in the whole yard and immediately made a decision: "Let's go, hurry up, return to Daliang quickly, we will set off now!"
"Leave now? But it's almost dark." Someone was surprised.
"It's dark and I'm on my way. It's not hot." Su Xian replied.
"But senior brother, let's just leave. Emperor Liao's side...besides, will he let us leave?" Zhou Wei looked worried.
"Don't worry, have you forgotten that the gold medal he gave me hasn't been taken back yet." Su Xian took the gold medal in his hand.
"That's no problem..."
that's all.
Su Xian took a mighty motorcade and ran away overnight.
He has the gold medal in hand, and the journey will be smooth.
When the news came back to the palace and Nalanjie heard about it, it was too late. Su Xian and his party had already run away for seventy or eighty miles.
"Brother Su, it's fine if you don't agree with this marriage. There's no need to run away overnight. I also plan to travel hand in hand with you. It seems we can only wait until next time."
Nalanjie shook his head and smiled bitterly.
At tonight's banquet, he shouldn't have told the truth. Now it's too late to regret that he scared Brother Su away.
Princess Ruyi's Mansion.
It is said that since Nalanyan returned to the mansion, she got angry, smashed things, and hit everyone she saw. The huge princess mansion immediately became a mess.
"Princess, you can't smash it. Princess, you can't smash it..."
"Princess, you spent a lot of money to buy this vase from Daliang. You once ordered that this vase must not be broken under any circumstances..."
In the messy room, Nalanyan held up an exquisite vase about a foot long with both hands, ready to smash it.
Several maids hugged her waist tightly, and they knelt on the ground. They kept kowtowing to plead with her, and persuaded her not to hit her again.
But Nalanyan is like a gambler who is red-eyed. She has lost her mind and just wants to spend everything, otherwise she will have nowhere to vent her depression.
"Princess, the noble envoy of Daliang has left overnight to return to Daliang!"
At this time, someone shouted outside.
Nalanyan was stunned for a moment, the red light in her eyes gradually disappeared, her hands raised high were lowered, her face was angry with a hint of loss, and she lazily said to herself:
"He just... left?!"
