There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 754: The Prince Consort of Liao?

"quiet!"

Emperor Liao put on a straight face and highlighted the names of several courtiers. The aura of an emperor rolled in, giving people a deep sense of oppression.

After the main hall became quiet, Emperor Liao turned his head to look at Su Xian. His serious face instantly turned into a cheerful one, with a look of "everything is under control", and he said with a smile:
"Su Aiqing and everyone, please don't worry. I am inviting you here this time just to participate in the celebration banquet. I will send someone to take you back to Daliang after the banquet is over!"

"..."

Emperor Liao's words stunned everyone present.

The Nalan brothers and sisters and the ministers of the Liao Kingdom almost didn't react. They looked conflicted and hesitated to speak.

Su Xian and others were also moved. Could it be that they had mistakenly blamed Emperor Liao?Did Emperor Liao really just want to invite them to the banquet, instead of burning bridges across rivers?

Unlikely!
Su Xian came to his senses instantly.

This is a lie!

Emperor Liao is cheating!
Talking freely is the specialty of treacherous people.

If Tian really believed them, he would not know how he died in the end.

Later, Yan Dashan, Yang Zhilan, Guan Ping, and even Tang Shujing all realized that Emperor Liao was really cunning and cunning, and he would almost fall into his trap if he was not careful, so he must be more careful.

Tang Shujing had already "taken upon herself the heavy responsibility" and was determined to turn the tide and protect her brother-in-law in this operation, so she became angry on the spot and jumped out to ruthlessly expose the insidiousness and darkness of the Liao Emperor.

At last she exclaimed:

"We are the people of Daliang. It is inconvenient to attend this celebration banquet. Please let us go immediately!"

Emperor Liao still looked kind and cheerful, looking like he was sure of victory. He didn't pay attention to Tang Shujing who was jumping up and down. Instead, he looked at Su Xian and asked:

"What do Su Aiqing think?"

"I think the same as her." Su Xian pointed to Tang Shujing.

"In that case, let's open the skylight and speak openly." Emperor Liao tilted his head vaguely, glanced at Nalan Yan, then looked at Su Xian and said with a smile:

"Actually, my idea is very simple. Su Aiqing, please don't go back to Daliang. Instead, stay in Daliao. How about I let you be Yan'er's consort?"

After the words were spoken, there was a brief silence in the hall.

Immediately, two women's voices sounded at the same time: "No!"

Everyone looked and saw that it was Tang Shujing and Nalan Yan.

Tang Shujing was furious on the spot. Su Xian was her sister's fiancé, and the bride price had already been paid. If Su Xian didn't go back, wouldn't her sister have to be a widow?

This kind of thing must not happen, otherwise she will not be able to explain to her sister!

She ducked in front of Su Xian, her bright eyes glaring angrily, as if she wanted to "stare" Emperor Liao to death on the dragon chair.

Yan Dashan, Yang Zhilan and others also gradually realized that a few days ago, when they first arrived in Yacheng, Emperor Liao, who was still King Hunxie at the time, had this unrealistic idea...

Nalan Yan looked uncomfortable, disgusted and embarrassed. She left Emperor Liao's side, walked to the center of the hall, lined up with Su Xian and others, and faced Emperor Liao and said:
"Father, my daughter does not want Su Xian to be my consort!"

"..."

Emperor Liao's expression remained unchanged, his gaze passed over Tang Shujing and Nalanyan, looked at Su Xian and asked with a smile:
"What do you think, Su Aiqing? Yan'er is no worse than you girls from the Central Plains, right? Moreover, Yan'er is a princess of Daliao and is worthy enough to match you. I have not treated you badly."

The muscles at the corners of Su Xian's mouth twitched crazily. He wanted to refuse the Liao Emperor's unreasonable thoughts. It was impossible for him to stay in the Liao Kingdom.

However, when he turned his head and saw Nalan Yan's expression of discomfort, disgust and twitching, he felt very unhappy. What was going on?Isn't a good man like him good enough for you?

In order to disgust Nalan Yan, and to combat the cunningness of Emperor Liao, Su Xian pretended to think for a while and replied:

"Your Majesty has ascended to the throne for the first time, and will surely be at the top of his game. This position of consort is indeed tempting. I have thought about it over and over again and decided... to accept your Majesty's kindness and marry Princess Ruyi!"

"..."

Princess Ruyi is Nalanyan's title.

After Su Xian finished speaking, the hall was quiet for several breaths.

Emperor Liao burst into laughter, his face glowing red, he clapped his hands and said "Okay" repeatedly.

Nalan Jie's expression was quite unnatural at first, but now his eyes light up. Okay, from now on, I can chat with Brother Su anytime and anywhere. This is a great thing!

Nalan Yan was dumbfounded, turned around and gouged Su Xian, feeling as if she had eaten a fly, and backed away slowly, as if looking at a big bad wolf, and scolded:

"You are obscene, you are shameless, you actually want to be my princess's consort!"

Su Xian was satisfied and secretly happy. This move not only played tricks on Emperor Liao by treating others in his own way, but also disgusted Nalan Yan.

Wonderful!

But then, he couldn't get any better, because Tang Shujing firmly held his hand and pulled him back. With a complex, resentful and angry look on her face, she glared at Su Xian and scolded:

"Brother-in-law... no! I don't agree. You have hired your sister. You can't stay in Liao and be the consort!"

Su Xian felt it. Tang Shujing's grip on his hand was really strong. It seemed that this girl was really anxious, for fear of losing such an excellent brother-in-law.

Su Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He looked at Emperor Liao again and immediately said loudly:

"But Your Majesty, the foreign minister has already been married to a young lady from the Tang family in Daliang. He has already been hired and has a fiancée. If he marries Princess Ruyi again, he will be worse than a beast!"

"Furthermore, the foreign minister is a scholar, and we scholars value etiquette the most, and etiquette cannot be discarded! If the foreign minister abandons his fiancée and marries Princess Ruyi, it will be against etiquette and law!"

"That's why I appreciate His Majesty's kindness, but I can't accept it!"

"..."

After hearing this, Emperor Liao was stunned for three seconds.

He has always maintained a pleasant expression, but for the first time, his complexion is slightly ugly!

It's a small matter that Su Xian declined his kindness, he didn't really care, what really made him look ugly was Su Xian's treachery, who actually played tricks on him!
Yes, Emperor Liao was such a person. It was okay for him to play tricks on others, but when others treated him in the same way, he couldn't bear it, as if he had been greatly hurt.

Seeing this, Nalanjie could only sigh deeply in his heart. It seemed that the idea of ​​talking freely with Brother Su was shattered.

Nalan Yan was relieved, but immediately felt a little uncomfortable, so this could be regarded as... Su Xian disliked her?
As a princess, she naturally couldn't swallow this breath, but now she had no good solution and could only keep it silently in her heart.

Tang Shujing was now happy, still holding Su Xian's hand tightly, and glaring at Nalan Yan vaguely, as if she was afraid that Nalan Yan would come over and compete with her.

Yan Dashan, Yang Zhilan and the others also secretly heaved a sigh of relief, they also "followed Su Xian's way" just now, now it seems that it was a false alarm, very good!

The Liao Emperor's palace was extremely deep, and the ugly look on his face instantly disappeared, returning to a kind and cheerful look, and said with a smile:

"Su Aiqing, don't be so anxious to make a decision. You can stay and think about it carefully. No matter how long it takes, Yan'er and I can wait."

"Don't think about it. I have made up my mind. I don't want to attend this celebration banquet. Please let us leave immediately!" Su Xian said loudly.
