After half a round of wine, Empress Zhao suddenly raised the silver cup in her hand and said to Emperor Nangong Qi,""Your Majesty, this concubine offers you a toast."
When the Emperor heard this, he gave the Empress a meaningful look. He then raised the cup in his hand and drank the wine in one gulp.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on the Empress's lips. She used her wide sleeves to cover her face and drank the wine in her hand. When she put down the cup, her eyes seemed to inadvertently sweep in the direction of the Crown Prince.
The Emperor put down the cup in his hand and swept his gaze across the officials below. Finally, his gaze fell on Prime Minister Murong Rui and shouted,"Prime Minister."
When the Prime Minister heard this, his body trembled slightly. Then, he pretended to be calm as he stood up and walked to the middle of the hall. He knelt down towards Emperor Nangong Qi and said,""Your Majesty, I'm here."
"I've always heard that the Prime Minister's daughter, Murong Mingyue, is the number one beauty in the capital. Today, seeing her in person is indeed better than hearing about her. I'm afraid that no one in Zhen Palace can compare to her.”Nangong Qi looked down at Murong Rui, his eyes full of smiles and praise for Murong Mingyue.
Hearing this, Murong Rui lowered his body in fear and said,""This subject is terrified. My daughter's aptitude is still shallow and does not dare to be compared to the various niangniang.”
As he spoke, there were already a few drops of sweat on Murong Rui's forehead. At this moment, he only felt that what he was afraid of had come true. No wonder the father-in-law beside the Emperor had reminded him to bring his daughter along during this palace banquet.
Looking at the emperor's intentions, the situation was already not good.
"The Prime Minister is too humble." Nangong Qi said. Then, his eyes fell on Murong Mingyue, only to see that she was still sitting there. He couldn't help but nod in approval.
However, when his gaze landed on Nangong Mo, who was on the other side, Nangong Qi was a little uncertain.
Anyone with discerning eyes could see that Mo 'er and Murong Mingyue were extremely incompatible. If he insisted on Murong Mingyue fulfilling the engagement, it would probably cause the Prime Minister's dissatisfaction.
Thinking of this, Nangong Qi could not help but hesitate.
Seeing the Emperor's hesitation, Empress Zhao's expression could not help but change slightly. She then smiled and said to the Emperor,""ChenQie sees that Murong Mingyue is virtuous and virtuous, and her appearance is also extremely handsome. Now that she has reached the age of adulthood, why doesn't Your Majesty take this opportunity to fulfill her marriage with King Yu?”
The Empress 'voice was not loud, but it was just enough for everyone below to hear it clearly. At this time, everyone's expressions were different.
After hearing the Empress's words, Mu Qingyi remembered that someone had once mentioned the marriage agreement between Nangong Mo and the Prime Minister's daughter. However, she had forgotten about it for a moment.
Looking at the Murong Mingyue sitting at the table opposite the Murong family, she was indeed as beautiful as the Emperor had said. However, would she marry the current Nangong Mo?
After Nangong Ling heard the Empress's words, he was not happy at all. He had never thought that the Empress was a kind person. Now that she had made such a suggestion, she probably had bad intentions.
Thinking of this, Nangong Ling subconsciously looked in the direction of the Crown Prince, only to see the Crown Prince looking at him with a smile.
This made Nangong Ling look away. At the same time, it made him even more certain of the guess in his heart. This made him frown slightly. He could not help but look at Nangong Mo beside him, his eyes filled with worry.
When Emperor Nangong Qi heard the Empress 'words, he turned to look at her with a trace of blame in his eyes.
Even so, Nangong Qi still turned to Murong Rui with a smile and asked tentatively,""What does the Prime Minister think of the Empress?”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:082820187:39PM
