Chapter 103 Announcing the Happy Event

Murong Jie's body stiffened for a moment, it was naturally not because of the close contact with the woman, but she was buried in his chest like a cat, which made his heart turbulent for a moment.

However, this feeling is mysterious and comfortable.

Just when she stretched out her hand and wanted to hug her, she had already moved away, and then groped around her body, and finally could only take out a needle bag and a handkerchief from the sleeve pocket, and the handkerchief was very dirty.

Embarrassed, she touched her bun again, only one hairpin was fixed, if she took it off, her hair would be loose.

However, she still took it off, put the needle bag away, and then spread the handkerchief and hairpin on the palm of her hand, "What do you think you want?"

Murong Jie looked at her hand, at Duohun Ring, "This ring..."

"This won't work, the ring won't work, it's very important and worth commemorating." Zian was startled, and quickly hid his hands.

Murong Jie knew that this ring was a bit special, and had seen her use the ring to hold it back when she gave acupuncture to King Liang.

"My lord is saying that this ring is ugly, and I don't want it." He took the hairpin and tied up Zi'an's hair. It was very ugly, but it was still fixed. If you want to give it away, embroider a sachet for this king."

It's quicker to buy one, she doesn't know how to embroider, but it won't bother her, and when the time comes, go back and ask Nanny Yang or Xiaosun for help.

The atmosphere in the room became very warm, and Zian actually felt that his rough movements were very comfortable. Although at least ten hairs were broken when he was helping her with her hair, which made her grit her teeth in pain, but it felt very comfortable. Well, especially when he secretly threw away the broken hair, there was an embarrassing expression on his face.

As soon as the set was finished, there was a knock on the door, accompanied by Xiao Tuo's constipated and impatient voice, "What are you talking about? Is it finished? We are leaving soon."

Zian unsheathed the dagger in his hand, quickly retracted it, resisted the urge to kill Xiao Tuo, walked over to open the door, and said expressionlessly: "You can go."

Xiao Tuo looked at the dagger in her hand, gasped, and looked at Murong Jie in surprise.

Murong Jie got up and said: "Let's go!" There was no expression on his face, he didn't even look at Xiao Tuo, and let Xiao Tuo stare at him with puzzled eyes.

Xiao Tuo murmured to himself, this dagger was given by the late emperor, he always regarded it as a treasure, and was reluctant to be stained with blood, but now it is given to Xia Zian?

However, life-saving grace is more important than anything else, even giving a dagger is nothing, Xiao Tuo thought so.

Palace banquet.

Prime Minister Xia came late this time, and he brought Mrs. Yuan and Mrs. Linglong to attend.

Yuan Shi dressed up very elegantly tonight, a crimson pleated satin skirt wrapped her slender and well-fitting body, her lightly powdered face had a calm expression, she didn't have much jewelry on her body, and her earlobes were still covered with Decorated with emerald jade nails, it looks simple and elegant, but also indescribably noble.

She walked in together with Mrs. Linglong Xia Wan'er, and the beauty and bearing surpassed the young Xia Wan'er. Needless to say, Mrs. Linglong, even though her head was full of jewels and emeralds, she wore the most expensive silk and satin clothes. Don't be extravagant.

Because the marriage between the crown prince and Xia Wan'er was finalized, Prime Minister Xia deliberately brought the mother and daughter into the palace tonight, allowing them to show their faces in front of the royal family and all civil and military officials.

The appearance of Yuan Shi attracted a lot of attention. This talented woman who had disappeared from everyone's eyes for more than ten years seemed to come out of a painting. when.

Since Prince An's appearance, his gaze never left her face.

Prince Qi sat beside Prince An, and said softly, "Miss Yuan is no different from before."

When the two countries were at war, Prince An and Prince Qi began to communicate. Although they were hostile identities at the time, they valued heroes and recognized heroes, and Prince An admired the Yuan family, and Prince Qi also knew about it.

This relationship ended without a problem, and he expressed regret at the time.

Prime Minister Xia was very satisfied when he saw that everyone's attention was on Yuan Shi.

Tonight he brought Yuan Shi to attend, the purpose is very clear, is to use Yuan Shi to attract everyone's attention. The prince spoke.

He is well aware of Yuan's influence. Yuan's reputation is not only because she is a talented woman, but also because she had the emperor's permission to set up a forum to discuss government affairs. Even the emperor personally attended this forum, and The political opinions she expressed amazed everyone present, even the emperor was full of praise, saying that if Cuiyu was born as a man, she must be my right-hand man.

Mrs. Linglong and Xia Wan'er were really unhappy seeing Yuan's stealing the limelight. They thought they would become the focus, because the Queen's order to bestow the marriage had already been made, and Xia Wan'er felt that they would become the envy of the ladies tonight, but Well, she didn't know that this decree was made secretly, even the empress dowager didn't know, so how could other people know?

Naturally, concubines in the palace also had to attend. Although Concubine Mei and Concubine Yi were sitting together, Concubine Yi was very indifferent to Concubine Mei.

Concubine Mei was really annoyed, and when the third prince was playing with the seventh prince, she was scolded by Concubine Yi to back down, she could hardly bear the anger in her heart.

The envoys brought by Prince Qi consisted of about ten people. The scale of the banquet was so large that the huge hall seemed a bit crowded.

The palace servants who passed on the meal shuttled among them, holding exquisite dishes in their hands. The dishes contained exquisite dishes. The aroma of wine permeated every corner of the hall.

Everyone is whitewashing the peace, but they have their own concerns. Everyone knows that once the banquet is over, it will be the beginning of the main event.

The crown prince toasted Prince Qi several times to show everyone's demeanor. The crown prince toasted, and Taifu Liang hurriedly agreed, inviting everyone to toast together, respecting both Lord Qi and the prince.

Regarding Taifu Liang's move, some royal family members and ministers who remained neutral knew what was going on, and it was to push the crown prince to the top.

After drinking for three rounds, Prime Minister Xia stood up, holding a glass of wine in his hand, and said with a smile: "Today, there are so many palace ministers gathered together, and Prince Qi of Beimo is present. I would like to offer a toast to everyone and announce a good morning by the way. information."

Everyone stopped and looked at Prime Minister Xia curiously, announcing the good news now? It's not appropriate, even though it was a feast for the envoys, the death of the regent should have caused the whole country to mourn, and it is not appropriate to announce any happy event with great fanfare at this time.

The queen's expression froze for a moment, she hadn't reported the matter to the empress dowager, she was thinking of reporting it after the matter was over tonight, but she didn't expect Prime Minister Xia to be so impatient and messed up her plan.

The queen didn't understand that Prime Minister Xia was not in a hurry. He was different from Mrs. Linglong. He thought that the queen's decree was taken seriously. Announced in public, so that the queen has no room for repentance.

The empress dowager's face darkened when she heard Prime Minister Xia's words. Announcing the good news at this time? What a good prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

She wanted to speak to stop it, but Eunuch Sun said: "Queen Mother, you can't stop it now, let's talk about it later."
