Chapter 205 The Emperor's Proposal
The government hall was crowded with officials early, and even the emperor, who had been ill for a long time, had already sat on the main seat. The middle of the hall is full of boxes tied with red silk, and next to it are several envoys in the clothes of the Cang Kingdom. At this moment, they are introducing those rare treasures to everyone. Next to Jinluan's throne, Xiao Tiange sat high on it, and behind him was his sister Xiao Tianluan.
"The princess of the country has arrived--" The eunuch's voice passed through the palace and echoed a few times.
The voice in the hall suddenly stopped, and everyone looked at the door of the hall. There, a woman in a simple blue robe stepped up, full of civil and military officials. She was calm and unsurprising.
"My lady pays a visit to your majesty." The light voice fell. She bent down and saluted, moved slightly, and said lightly, "I've seen Your Majesty."
"Wing up quickly." Zi Tanyu looked at her with relief and almost didn't go down to help her with his own hands.
Xiao Tiange nodded, and his cold voice fell: "Please get up."
Red sandalwood got up and saw the position automatically ceded by the ministers. He walked to the other side opposite Bing Yiyin and stood safely.
"Continue." As soon as Zi Tanyu opened his mouth, the envoy introduced below continued.
From time to time, you can hear the fine comments of the ministers. What: "Red starfish moonstone is a rare treasure in the world. It is said that it can nourish the face and make people young."
What: "The red bull horns on the grassland are very valuable. There are only a few pairs of these things a year."
What else: "The Tibetan and Han seal has disappeared for hundreds of years. It turned out to be in the Cangguo Palace."
In a word, in a word, these are rare treasures in the world. They are very valuable and very valuable. They may be more valuable than her princess. The value of her marriage is very valuable.
Red sandalwood's eyes are cold, and the corners of his mouth are cold and hard.
After the introduction of Cangshi, the ministers who were still dizzy were immediately stunned by their other words: "Your Majesty, the bride price here is only one-tenth."
"What! One-tenth?!" His eyes are wide open, and a salted duck egg can be stuffed into his mouth.
"No, it's impossible, right?" I was shaking when I spoke.
"One-tenth, this is only one-tenth. Isn't it a problem to buy a county? Oh, my God, this is unprecedented." He swd his mouth and said, "There has never been such a heavy bride price in history."
The ministers were stunned, and even the red sandalwood was a little surprised. What is the concept of buying a whole county? Needless to say, this Xiao Tiange... Looking at the man sitting high on the jade steps, he nodded to her at the same time.
"The emperor has a heart." Zi Tanyu took a deep breath to calm down the surprise in his heart and said to Xiao Tiange next to him. With such a strong man as a husband, Muer's future life should also be guaranteed.
And Xiao Tiange only said coldly, "She is worth it."
She is worth thinking about the shocked ministers. The bride price of Cangguo is indeed scary. They don't know if there is anyone who comes later, but it is absolutely unprecedented, but as the emperor said: she is worth it, the princess of the country is worth such a bride price, even too much.
They were so happy that they were really stunned. A princess who was enough to control the country was absolutely priceless, and they were shocked by the county in front of them. But what can I do? If the princess doesn't get married, if the danger in front of leaving the country is okay? A county is not a comfort...
Weak people are bullied, really--!
Compared with the ministers who rolled in shock and indignation, the red sandalwood was calm all the time, standing there faintly, as if everything had nothing to do with her. Look at the nose, look at the nose - alas, no, there are more pairs of horse boots in front of me.
Red sandalwood looked up along the horse boots, saw the waist tied with a machete and a leather whip, and then there was a delicate and angular face. I don't know when Xiao Tianluan, who is standing behind Xiao Tiange, has stood in front of her. At this moment, she is looking at her with great momentum with her big eyes open.
Xiao Tianyan didn't look gracefully at all, and his eyes were straight. Xiao Tiange reminded him, "Tian Yan, don't be rude."
Xiao Tianlan looked back at his brother, blinked his eyes, and then turned around and took a deep breath and said to the red sandalwood, "Hey, listen, I didn't want you to be my sister-in-law."
One sentence fell, and the hall was silent.
Xiao Tianlan didn't realize it. Suddenly, he blinked his eyes mischievously and continued briskly, "However, I heard that you didn't even want your life to save my brother. You have this courage. I'm not a stingy person. Let's write off the past!"
After saying that, she stretched out one hand and raised her eyebrows to look at the red sandalwood.
The Cangguo is on the grassland, the folk customs are fierce and bold, and the red sandalwood has been heard of for a long time. This Xiao Tianluan was extremely rude to her in the cave. Although she was unfriendly, her mood was also very real at that time. Although she was not cute, she was not hidden at all. Now because she saved Xiao Tiange's life, she treated her differently, thinking that she was a person with a clear sense of love and hate.
Red sandalwood is not a twisted person. The next hand is stretched out, and in the quiet hall, it only smells "pop!" The sound of palms.
With one slap, the previous suspicions are all relieved.
Xiao Tianlan smiled, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Well, Brother Lan will be mine alone in the future."
After saying that, she walked briskly to the jade steps and stood behind Xiao Tiange.
Red sandalwood instantly felt like being calculated by a little girl, although her body was not very old.
Xiao Tianlu stood behind Xiao Tiange and winked at her playfully, with a cunning face.
But the red sandalwood was not stained by her smile at all. Wu Cang Juelan, who was deliberately ignored by her, suddenly appeared like this, making her head hurt like a needle in an instant.
Her eyes were a little empty. She watched the ceremony interrupted by Xiao Tianyan continue. It was not until the last step of giving tokens to each other that she was awakened. After her eyes returned to Qingming, she found that Xiao Tiange had already walked down the jade steps and stood in the hall waiting for her.
She suddenly felt that her feet were very heavy, and she sank step by step, so heavy that she could hardly lift them. But she is still walking. Although it is very slow, step by step, it is finally the person who is close to the temple. From now on, it will be him, the man who has only seen her twice, not him, who has always been by her side. Her clear eyes suddenly blurred a little. She grabbed her hands tightly until the pain in the palm of her hand pierced the bottom of her heart, and she accelerated her pace and walked towards him.
It's not that Xiao Tiange didn't see her expression clearly. In fact, he saw it very clearly and could guess who she was for in his heart. However, they are about to get married. No matter how important that person was to her, they will be just an old friend in the future.
The two finally stood side by side under the jade steps, with the two maids of honor beside them, each holding a tray, which was their own tokens.
In the tray of Xiao Tiange is a token, the whole body of Yuelan, and the white phoenix are lifelike. People in the whole continent know that it is the inheritance token of the mother of Cang Kingdom.
In contrast, the weight of the pallet on the side of red sandalwood is much smaller. It's just a foot belt, but it's just for preparing something for the son-in-law. The princess has always been married, and there are not many after this. Therefore, the meaning of this glazed belt is just to remind the son-in-law to remember to restrain himself at all times. To put it bluntly, it is used as a warning. So when this belt appeared in front of the emperor, the face of leaving the country was a little unbearable. It's so ridiculous to tie up the emperor.
No one in the hall dares to say anything. They only see nothing.
Xiao Tiange just glanced at the glazed belt, and there was no change on his face. The knife-like straight finger held the jade pendant and handed it straight to her.
Red sandalwood looks at the warm jade at present. Why doesn't he know what kind of iron-blooded power is contained under the warmth? The mother of the country, the mother of the country, the mother of the country, why is she always taking such things? First, the brocade flag in the army, and then the jade pendant of Cangguo. Are you destined to carry these breathless things in this life?
Everyone in the hall looked at her. She looked at her in pairs, saw the struggle in the eyes of the ministers, the pride in the eyes of Bing Yiyin, the pity in the eyes of the princess, and the relief in the eyes of Zi Tanyu. In the same thing, they thought differently in their hearts, but no matter how different it was, it did not change the reality.
She finally slowly stretched out her hand, thin fingertips, and gradually moved closer to the huge power.
The jade body is slightly cool, and her fingertips are even colder. This coolness goes straight to the bottom of her heart through her arms.
Finally, I want to say goodbye to you. From then on, you are the emperor of Lan, and I am the queen of Cang. It has nothing to do with it. Maybe I can become an enemy that day. This world is so impermanent.
The two hands were placed on a jade pendant at the same time, and the corners of Xiao Tiange's tightly squeezed lips were slightly raised. When he was about to withdraw his hand, the eunuch's sharp voice suddenly appeared: "Your Majesty Lan has arrived--"
This sudden sound shocked the whole hall. Before people had time to prepare, they saw a touch of eye-catching blood red coming up the ninety-nine steps. The steps were clearly scattered and elegant, but the blink of an eye was very close.
Until the strong blood was set in front of the jade steps in the hall, and the jade pendant was lightly taken out of the two people's hands and put it back into the tray, the ministers did not understand what was going on.
"It's so lively." With a rosy lip, Danfeng's eyes looked around the hall, and the evil voice fell on the golden hall.
No one dared to answer, and everyone bowed their heads slightly. Although I don't quite understand, Lanhuang seems to have come to disturb the engagement. Everyone can see it clearly. Otherwise, it will not prevent Her Royal Highness from taking over the jade pendant.
The deep eyes of Xiaotian Song obsidian are half squinted, and the cold light shines everywhere. Red Sandalwood caught a glimpse of the sound and said, "Why are you here?"
Hearing the words of Her Royal Highness, the two seemed to know each other. They were tricky, and the people with their heads drooped.
Wu Cang Juelan hooked the corners of his mouth and answered her words to Zi Tanyu: "I heard about the alliance between Cangteng, so I came to see if the emperor needed help. However, it seems that it's not the right time."
The smiling phoenix eye glanced at the two people who were ready to exchange tokens. In the laughter, the meaning was unclear.
