In the throne room, Gu Muyang was holding a string of Buddhist beads and moving it back and forth. He looked at the heads of the officials of His Highness, who seemed to be very obedient, but each of them was more cunning than the last! Gu Muyang said," In two days, all the envoys from the various tribes will arrive. The purpose of this time is to strengthen the relationship with them through marriage. Therefore, the families of officials above the fifth rank must send a woman to serve as the envoy's candidate. The specific arrangements will be handled by the Minister of Rites, Yang Haoran, and the Changqing of Honglu Temple, Xiao Mo. As for the arrangements for the candidate women to enter the palace, Xiao Xiao of Guanglu Temple will arrange them. The time for the envoys to arrive is approaching, so everyone must speed up!”
After saying that, she propped her chin with her hand and smiled lazily.
Yang Haoran, Xiao Mo, and Xiao Xiao hurriedly stepped forward to receive the decree before retreating.
"Is there anything else you want to report? If there's anything, report it to the memorial. If there's nothing, withdraw from court." Gu Muyang raised his eyebrows and asked.
The ministers all realized that the emperor was not in the mood today, so they obediently bowed together and said,"I have no objections!"”
Tu Wen, the chief eunuch, waved his horsetail whisk and shouted,"Retreat!"”
The ministers knelt down and shouted,"Farewell, Emperor!"”
Gu Muyang lazily got up and walked down the Dragon Platform. He slowly disappeared into the Golden Dragon Tent in his bright yellow dragon robe…
After the court session ended, An Jiuchong immediately took out his pipe and smoked. He twisted his small waist and walked to Yang Haoran's side. He held the pipe in one hand and the other hand wrapped around Yang Haoran's soft waist. He laughed and teased," Little Haoran, it seems that the Emperor has given you an exceptionally cute partner."”
Yang Haoran mercilessly slapped away An Jiuchong's disobedient claws.
"If you dare to touch me again, I'll kill you before I kill Xiao Mo!”
Therefore, Yang Haoran ran away in a hurry with a dark face.
An Jiuchong wanted to go forward and continue bullying him, but he was pulled by another hand. He turned around and saw Lu Zizan's smiling face.
Hence, he smiled and said,"Yo! Isn't this Prime Minister Lu? Are you happy as a newlywed?"
Lu Zizan smiled and said," I'm very happy, but I've been married for three days. Isn't it a little late for you to ask?”
An Jiuchong spat out a mouthful of smoke at Lu Zizan without any politeness." I'm busy. I have to bully all kinds of beautiful men and comfort the pretty girl who was abandoned by Prime Minister Lu. I'm so busy!"”
After saying that, she took another puff of her cigarette and smiled sweetly.
In the smoke, Lu Zizan's expression did not change at all. There was only a smiling face. When the smoke dispersed, Lu Zizan reached out and took out a letter and handed it to An Jiuchong.
An Jiuchong looked at it in a daze and took another puff of his cigarette. I don't seem to have any obligation to deliver the letter for you.”
Lu Zizan smiled." I did ask for your help, but I won't let you do it for nothing."”
An Jiuchong raised his eyebrows and touched Lu Zizan's face with his hand. He teased," What can Prime Minister Lu give me? Power? I don't lack it. Money? I don't need it either."
As she spoke, she even used her hand to grope around Lu Zizan's face.
Lu Zizan smiled and held the hand that was groping her face. After that, she pinched it fiercely and asked without changing her expression," What does the National Eye Lord want? But don't go too far!"
An Jiuchong endured the pain in his hand and pretended to be calm." If Prime Minister Lu is willing to come to my bed for a cup of tea, I will do my best to help you deliver it."”
Lu Zizan's face instantly pulled down as he stared fiercely at An Jiuchong. The strength in his hands naturally increased. He looked at An Jiuchong's eyes and said," The bed of Lord Guoyan is too high. I'm afraid I can't get up." On the other hand, if Lord National Eye still wants to see Young Master Liu, then obediently do as I say! Does Lord An understand?"
An Jiuchong immediately became alert and struggled like a cat whose tail had been caught. He put away his smiling expression and quickly pulled out the hand that was holding Lu Zizan's hand. Then, he suddenly reached out to Lu Zizan's neck and strangled him tightly. He glared at Lu Zizan with his angry eyes and used all his strength to suppress his voice that was about to roar. If you dare to hurt him, I'll burn down your fox nest!”
Lu Zizan raised his hand, and the bangles on his arm rang as they collided. Lu Zizan pried open An Jiuchong's fingers one by one and threatened," Lord An, don't misunderstand." Young Master Liu hid in my residence in order to get rid of someone's entanglement. Heaven and earth can testify that I have been friends with Young Master Liu for decades. I never wanted to hurt Young Master Liu in the slightest!”
An Jiuchong took the letter from Lu Zizan's hand and took a heavy puff of smoke. He tried his best to ask calmly," Flower girl or flower fox?”Lu Zizan made an inviting gesture and said,"Please take me to General Hua."”
An Jiuchong glared at him, turned around, and walked away. Along the way, wisps of gray smoke flew up into the sky, and the wind blew, making the city full of smoke. Lu Zizan looked at An Jiuchong's receding figure and smiled silently. He was like a porcelain doll that kept smiling, smiling, as if there was no other expression that could be replaced, smiling, smiling…
"Currently, there is only one country in the world. Our country has a vast territory and is rich in resources. Not only is our food production high, but there are also many varieties. As for the silk and satin, they were even more varied than ancient and modern times. The ceramic ware was also exquisite and noble, and the jewelry was even more gorgeous. The national defense was also indestructible, and foreign enemies did not dare to invade. This was all thanks to our Emperor's good governance. Now, the Emperor sympathized with the people's feelings and did not want to go to war, so he chose to use the method of marriage to win the hearts of the other small countries. However, because the Emperor was young and did not have a son or an eldest princess, he decreed that all officials above the fifth rank had to send a woman to the palace to participate in the election. If she was lucky enough to be selected, she would follow the monarch of that country to another country and become the mother of the country for the rest of her life. If they were not chosen, they would be rewarded with items and be remarried after leaving the palace. There will be ten monarchs from the Great Yue Clan, Eerqin, Tianyao, Suixin, Guhuan, Gunyuliu, Qingshan, Annam, Yidai, Fanhua. Among these ten countries, Tianyao is the most powerful and we have some friendship with the monarch of Tianyao. If Qing 'er marries over, it will be better, so…"
"So you want me to have a 'love at first sight' with the monarch of Tianyao before the selection and then marry him?”I interrupted my father.
His father picked up the blue and white porcelain teacup at the side and took a sip of the tea leaves. Then, he said in a mature manner,"Qing 'er, I'm doing this for your own good!"”
I stood up from my seat and kneeled in front of my father." Your daughter is a horse from the grasslands, not a Persian domestic cat. Thus, your daughter has her own choices and beliefs. Please allow your daughter to participate in the selection. If she is selected, it will be God's fate. If she is not selected, then I will listen to your arrangements. However, I know that you will not let your daughter fail the selection.”
His father said faintly,"Since the outcome is the same, why do you have to spend so much effort?"”
I bowed to my father and said,"I just want to fight for it."”After that, I got up and walked out of the hall to my western courtyard.
His father shouted,"As you wish!"”
I didn't even turn my head and replied,"Thank you, father!"”The peonies in the garden were blooming very well, but unfortunately, I couldn't see them anymore. I quickened my pace and left in a hurry.
After Hua Qing City disappeared from Father Hua's sight, he took out a letter hidden in his sleeve.
He looked at the paper and could only shake his head helplessly." Lu Zizan, it's not that I don't want to help the two of you…" After saying that, he tore the letter into pieces and scattered them in the air. Daguan Time:1024201810:49AM
