At this moment, whether it was the officials in the court, the aristocratic families, or even the seats where the smiling women were sitting, it was so quiet that you could hear breathing, and the sound of falling ashes.
A gust of wind blew, and the curtain in the palace was rolled up to a corner, and then gradually fell down, which disturbed someone's mood.
Tonight, the full moon outside is very round, like an orange jade plate, like a bronze mirror.
Chu Wei looked at Chu Xun's angry and cold face, but actually looked proud. He lowered his eyes, secretly squeezed Murong Qingwan's hand, and gave her a "don't worry" look.
This brother's pain is good, and he can still be used at critical moments.
Chu Xun looked around, and wherever he looked, everyone lowered their heads.
Just when everyone was uneasy, a round of applause suddenly sounded, "Tsk, interesting, really interesting!"
Who? Everyone's hearts were shocked and they raised their heads subconsciously. His Majesty didn't even say anything at this stall, but there are still people who dare to applaud? Are they looking for death?
I saw this warrior standing up "without fear in the face of danger", walking with extremely relaxed steps, and walked to Chu Xun unhurriedly. He first saluted Chu Wei, and then smiled at Chu Xun, "
Presumably this is His Highness Prince Jing, who has a good reputation in Dahui. Xiao Wang is being very polite."
"Easy to say." Chu Xun nodded towards him, "Is there something wrong with the eldest prince?"
"It is indeed true." Murong Yunfei raised his lips and smiled at him, "Just now, thank you His Highness Prince Jing for speaking up for His Highness the Crown Prince. After all, Your Highness the Crown Prince is also related to Xiao Wang by blood. In terms of age, he should be called His Highness the Crown Prince.
It’s no exaggeration to say that I am an elder brother.”
Chu Xun's lips twitched. If you really wanted to marry this relative, why would you have gone there so early?
But now that the person was not malicious, Chu Xun couldn't speak casually, so he could only continue to smile and nod, "That is also my nephew."
Murong Yunfei smiled faintly and saluted Chu Xun, "Your Majesty, may I ask if Da Hui still has the intention to dethrone the prince?"
This question seems so arrogant!
Anyone can tell that this so-called "deposed prince" was definitely not Chu Wei's original intention, but when he said this, he added the "meaning of a minister" to the "body of a king".
It seemed that Chu Wei was in trouble, but in fact it was the officials below who were trembling.
I don't know who it was, but suddenly realized something, stood up, and shouted: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has great virtues and is truly the best candidate for the position of Crown Prince!"
As soon as these words came out, the slightly duller ministers also came to their senses. For a while, they supported Chu Lan as the prince and swore allegiance to the great emblem.
Amidst the bustle of people, Zhang Qingjiu touched the teacup that the palace servants had specially sent to him, and frowned slightly, almost invisible.
The banquet has been going on for so long, and the tea has become a little cold.
Thinking of this, Zhang Qingjiu felt an uncomfortable feeling in his heart for no reason, and subconsciously looked in a certain direction.
At almost the same time, the other party also raised his eyes.
When the four eyes met, there was a flash of light.
The corner of his mouth curled up, and Zhang Qingjiu lowered his eyes.
Obviously on the day he learned the truth and found her, she should have followed him back to the Prince's Mansion with a smile. After all, her blood was boiling and her soul was screaming, get closer to him, get closer to him...
But... Zhang Qingjiu snorted softly, put down the teapot in his hand, and picked up the wine glass beside him.
Drink it all in one gulp.
After the courtiers expressed their opinions, Chu Wei's expression finally returned to a bit of gentleness. He didn't look at Chu Zhao, who was panic-stricken at the side, and looked at Murong Yunfei with a smile.
After all, foreign ministers should not be present when discussing internal affairs, let alone such a first-class matter?
But, he is willing to do this today.
Not for anything else, just to make his wife and children feel at ease.
For the sake of this country, he did what an emperor should do, so he should also fulfill his selfish desires as a husband and a father.
Seeing Chu Wei's smile, Murong Yunfei also smiled, cupped his hands and said, "In that case, Xiao Wang can rest assured that the errand entrusted to him by his father has been completed."
With that said, Murong Yunfei took out a document with the seal of King Qiu Di from his arms and presented it, "This is the land that I, Qiu Di, would like to send to you ten miles away to express my gratitude to Your Majesty for taking care of me, Princess Qiu Di.
"
Send a land ten miles away?!
Upon hearing these words, all the ministers who had lowered their heads just now opened their eyes wide and raised their necks. Even though they were as calm as Chu Wei, they couldn't help but froze.
Everyone suspected that this was fake news, but when they looked at the signature and seal on the document, they had to admit that they had heard it right.
What Prince Qiudi said is true!
Although the land of ten miles is not vast, no square inch can be conceded in the territorial dispute. Otherwise, there would not be so many soldiers rushing to the battlefield to guard the border, and there would not be horses and leather corpses everywhere, and the border land would not be so prone to conflicts.
.
And this King Qiu Di is really...
After confirming the news, they suppressed their inner excitement and the ministers could not help but come back to their senses little by little.
Prince Qiu Di asked this question just now, was it just for this moment?
King Qiu Di is actually willing to do this for the queen, mother and son. If the crown prince's position is really not guaranteed today, I am afraid that not only will he not be able to get this so-called "ten-mile land", but it will also cause border turmoil and the war between the two countries will resume.
!
Thinking of this, the ministers suddenly felt a chill behind them!
His Royal Highness, who was once the most powerless and had no maternal clan to rely on, now has a country as his backer. Who else dares to shake this status from now on?!
On the dragon chair, Murong Qingwan's expression was also a little excited, and there were faint tears in her eyes.
Although she had been in Dahui for so many years, when the memory came back, it was extremely clear. But she knew what she should choose, so she could only pretend not to care.
But in the final analysis...if given the chance, who wouldn't want to have relatives who love and care for them in this world?
"Princess... I'd better call you Auntie the Queen." Seeing everyone's eyes on her, Murong Yunfei smiled again, "My father also asked his nephew to bring a message to my aunt. I haven't seen you for many years, and I know everything about my aunt.
Everything is fine, and he is very pleased. But as an elder brother, he just wants his aunt not to suffer any injustice."
At the end of his speech, Murong Yunfei glanced at Queen Mother Xie and Concubine Xie, and the corners of his lips raised slightly.
After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but take a breath.
Who can't tell that the Qiudi royal family is using courtiers to put pressure on certain people...
No wonder, Prince Qiu Di choked the Queen Mother that day and ridiculed the concubine tonight. Their relationship was all planned!
The female relatives on the other side all cast envious looks at Murong Qingwan. After all, what woman doesn't want the support and care of her mother's clan after getting married?
Seeing the lively scene again, Chu Xun swung the wine glass in his hand, called to the man who got up to leave, and smiled, "Second Emperor Uncle, Your Majesty is kind and the Crown Prince is loyal. I don't think I will blame you. You
There’s no need to be nervous.”
Chu Zhao: "..."
You've already said it's a bad thing, how can I still say it's not a good thing?
But just when Chu Zhao was about to climb down the ladder with a smile and smooth things over, Chu Xun suddenly changed the subject, "So, Uncle Second Emperor, who tricked you into doing this?"
