As soon as Yang Guang said this, music immediately sounded outside the Jiaze Palace, but the palace band, which had been prepared long ago, was playing and singing outside the palace to cheer up the royal banquet. Wan He also stood up and
Find your seat on the right and sit down.
The royal banquet hosted by Yang Guang this time was also a family banquet for the royal family, and there were not many royal family members in Luoyang. In addition to Yang Guang and Queen Xiao, there were naturally two princes, Yang Jian and Yang Gao, and five royal grandchildren.
Among them, the three headed by Yang Tong are the sons of the late Yuande Prince Yang Zhao, and the remaining two grandsons are the sons of Yang Jian. However, these two grandsons are all mediocre people, sitting next to Yang Jian.
Behind him, all the princes and grandsons were sitting with their heads lowered and dared not speak. On the left hand side of Yang Guang, Wan He, in addition to having the title of Liang Guogong, also held the position of Taifu of the East Palace. The Taifu of the East Palace was the crown prince.
Before Yang Guang established the crown prince, Wan He was the teacher of all the princes and grandsons, so Wan He's seat was actually in front of several princes and grandsons.
Most of those sitting on the right are female family members, including Concubine Wan Gui, whom Yang Guang loves most, and Concubine Xiao, who gave birth to Yang Gao for Yang Guang. Of course, among the concubines, only the two of them are qualified to participate in this event.
At the imperial banquet, none of the other concubines were qualified.
Sitting next to Concubine Xiao was a woman in palace attire who looked to be in her twenties, but Wan He recognized her. This woman was Yang Guang's eldest daughter, Princess Nanyang. Princess Nanyang had been raped as early as the Kaihuang period.
The late emperor made the decision and promised Yu Wenshu's third son Yuwen Shiji. However, Princess Nanyang was still young at that time. It was not until last year that Princess Nanyang married Yuwen Shiji. At that time, Wanhe also sent congratulatory gifts to Yuwen's family.
Well, as for the person beside Princess Nanyang, it was Princess Nanyang's consort Yu Wenshiji.
The appearance of Princess Nanyang is not inferior to Princess Yuerong at all. This makes Wan He have to admit that Comrade Lao Yang's genes are really good. The sons and daughters he gave birth to are all very beautiful, but with Princess Yuerong
In contrast, Princess Nanyang's brows exuded an aura of tranquility, which shows that Princess Nanyang's character is completely opposite to Princess Yuerong's active nature.
As for Yu Wenshiji, since he is Yang Guang's son-in-law, he is certainly qualified to participate in this imperial banquet. However, although he and Princess Nanyang next to him sit together, they don't talk much. They seem to be somewhat inseparable.
taste.
As for the person sitting in the seats of Yuwenshi and his subordinates, she is naturally Princess Yuerong. However, today's Yuerong seems to be different from usual. Not only is she dressed up in a fancy dress, but her face has also obviously been specially made up, making it more beautiful than usual.
Many, when they saw Wan He's eyes and looked over, Yuerong also blushed and lowered her head. She remained silent. It seemed that she also knew the purpose of today's imperial banquet, so she also changed her previous flamboyant character and harmed her.
Be ashamed.
Soon, the maids from the palace brought up plates of exquisite delicacies. They were first presented to Yang Guang and Queen Xiao, and then it was Wan He and others’ turn. The taste of these exquisite delicacies was quite good, but in Wan
In He's opinion, the portions of these delicacies are too small. One plate is only a little bit. Although Wan He is thin, he doesn't taste much at all. How can this little thing satisfy Wan He's appetite?
Looking at the plate in front of him that he had already swept away, Wan He couldn't help but feel aggrieved secretly. Comrade Yang was treating guests to dinner, but he didn't care whether he was full or not. He was really too petty.
If Yang Guang knew what Wan He was thinking at this time, Long Yan would be furious and kick Wan He away with his dragon's foot. What an honor it would be for the emperor to entertain his ministers. Not only was He unappreciative, but he even blamed him for being stingy. The ministers who had been entertained by the emperor in the past were all frightened, wondering how to figure out the holy will. How could there be Wan He like this?
Soon, the royal banquet was already halfway through. Yang Guang glanced at Wan He, who was still sitting in his seat, staring blankly at the empty plates in front of him. What is the purpose of summoning? Why are you still in a daze? It is impossible for my majestic emperor to take the initiative to mention this matter. Thinking of this, Yang Guang's face darkened. He is the emperor, and the most important thing is himself. Even ordinary people knew that it was very shameful to offer to marry their daughter, let alone the emperor.
The anger on Yang Guang's face was about to get angry, but when he turned his eyes, he happened to fall on Yuerong. When he saw Yuerong peeking at Wan He with a blushing face, the anger in Yang Guang's heart suddenly turned into ashes. Helpless, although Yang Guang is a decisive and murderous tyrant towards others, when dealing with his little daughter, no matter how great the murderous intention in Yang Guang's heart is, it can only be turned into soft fingers. In desperation, Yang Guang can only Neng put aside his murderous intention for the time being, turned his head, and glared fiercely at Yang Tong who was sitting next to Wan He.
At this banquet, not everyone was as clueless as Wan He. Especially the princes and grandsons were very nervous about the change in Yang Guang's expression. Yang Tong saw Yang Guang suddenly glare at him. He glanced at him and was shocked. However, recalling the way Yang Guang looked at Wan He and Yuerong before, Yang Tong immediately understood what Yang Guang meant by glaring at him. Yang Tong immediately lowered his head and quietly stretched out his hand. He touched Wan He's sleeves and whispered: "Brother Wan,"
"Uh," Wan He reacted after being pulled by Yang Tong and called a few more times. He looked at Yang Tong with a confused face, only to find that Yang Tong was winking at him desperately. Wan He didn't understand. What Bai Yang Tong meant was that he could only follow Yang Tong's gaze and turn his head to look. He immediately saw Yang Guang's big black face. Wan He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat because he had just been bothered by the lack of delicious food. , but he forgot the purpose of entering the palace this time. Wan He shivered immediately, sat upright, thought about it in his mind, then stood up directly, walked from the office to the center of the hall, and walked toward Yang Guang and Empress Xiao knelt down, raised their hands and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, I have something to ask of you, and I ask your Majesty and your Majesty for your permission."
Seeing that Wan He was finally willing to come out, Yang Guang's complexion finally improved a lot. He coughed lightly, glanced at Queen Xiao who was always expressionless beside him, and then said: "Liang Guogong is an important minister in the court. He is loyal to me and has made great contributions to the Sui Dynasty. I should agree to whatever request Liang Guogong makes. Liang Guogong, tell me what you request."
The meaning of Yang Guang's words could not be more obvious. As long as Wan He asks for marriage, Yang Guang will agree. At this time, Wan He suddenly had a strange idea in his mind. If he doesn't ask for marriage at this time, , but to change the request. Comrade Lao Yang has already spoken out his golden words. Naturally, he will not regret it. Wouldn’t he be able to get a big benefit? Thinking of this, Wan He almost opened his mouth to speak, but when he raised his head, Seeing Yang Guang's appearance, Wan He couldn't help but shrink his head. Forget it, if he really did this, according to Comrade Yang's character, he would have to be cut into pieces. Then, Wan He took a deep breath. He spoke loudly towards Yang Guang: "Your Majesty, Princess Yuerong is dignified in conduct, elegant in appearance, and noble in demeanor. I am bold and I implore your Majesty to marry the princess to me."
As soon as Wan He said this, there was silence in the entire Jiaze Hall. Even the sound of drums outside the hall stopped in time under Zhang Huaian's gesture. In fact, many people knew about this before the imperial banquet. Something has happened. The only people in the entire hall who really don't know about it are probably Yang Gao and Yang Xian's two sons. Leaving aside Yang Xian's two stunned sons, Yang Gaozheng's big eyes widened in surprise. Looking at Wan He, after a while, he couldn't help shouting: "Ah, uncle wants to marry sister Yuerong,"
"Ah," Yuerong, who had already blushed with embarrassment, heard Yang Gao's harsh words. She was so embarrassed that she almost ducked under the table and exclaimed. Yuerong didn't care much and just held two pieces. With red cheeks, he ran out of the palace quickly. Wan He glanced at the harmless little King Zhao with a look of resentment. He had taught him so many times, why was he still an uncle? The uncle said It's not over yet. My uncle wants to marry his sister. If someone who doesn't know the inside story hears this, wouldn't Wan He be called a beast?
And Yang Gao's words also broke the calm in the hall. First, Empress Xiao, who had always been serious about smiling, suddenly covered her mouth and laughed. Then, Concubine Xiao, Concubine Wan, and the three brothers Yang Tong all burst out laughing. , but Yang Jian had a straight face. The two sons behind him wanted to smile, but they were glared at by Yang Jian, and immediately lowered their heads and stopped talking. As for Princess Nanyang, her face was The indifference was gone, but he looked at Wan He curiously. Yuwen Shiji had a strange look on his face, and looked at Wan He with his eyes narrowed, not knowing what he was planning.
"Ahem," Yuerong was so shy that he ran out, but from her voice, Yang Guang could still hear the joy in Yuerong's heart. He was happy to see his most precious daughter. As a father, Yang Guang Naturally, he had nothing to say. He coughed a few times and stopped everyone's laughter. Then he squinted at Wan He and said, "Liang Guogong, you said you wanted to marry Yuerong, how can you be sincere? ah,"
Hearing what Yang Guang said, Wan He was stunned at first, and soon his face turned bitter. Speaking of sincerity at this time, if it were given to ordinary people, it would be a gift, but the problem now is that Wan He wants Marrying a princess of the current dynasty, this future father-in-law is in today's world. Yang Guang must look down on ordinary money. When it comes to power, in the whole world, is there anyone with more power than Yang Guang? In today's world, Wan He couldn't come up with anything worthy of Yang Guang's heart. How should Wan He get rid of this gift?
