The Stratagem of the Concubine of the Cold King

Chapter 176
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kind hospitality." Gong Xingyan walked to the front of the hall. As a noble prince of a powerful country, he didn't need to salute Emperor Xuande, so he just nodded and said something politely.

Emperor Xuande saw Gong Xingyan approaching, with a slight smile on his face: "King Yan came to marry us in Nanheng Kingdom, he is a distinguished guest of Nanheng Kingdom, please take your seat quickly."

After Gong Xingyan was seated, the banquet officially started. There was fine nectar and jade dew on the main hall, and several dancers danced lightly in the hall. It was just that the officials of Nanheng Kingdom sat with the undefeated God of War of the Western Desert Dynasty, and they couldn't help but feel the tension in the hall. The aura was very depressed, so no one was in the mood to appreciate the singing and dancing in the hall.

The aura around Gong Xingyan suppressed a group of men, but deeply attracted countless women. His strength, his ruthlessness, and his godly posture are all the fatal points to seduce women.

From the moment Gong Xingyan stepped into the hall, Xi Zhuqin's eyes never moved away from him.

Except for Xi Zhuqin who fell in love with Gong Xingyan at first sight, those dancers entered the hall and saw a god-like figure like Gong Xingyan. To show off her charm in the hall, she hopes to get a glimpse from Gong Xingyan.

Dozens of eyes in the hall fell on Gong Xingyan, but Gong Xingyan kept playing with the wine glass in his hand without lifting his eyelids. He looked lazy and domineering, and did not pay attention to the scene in the hall.

After the dance ended, Emperor Xuande waved his hand, signaling that all the dancers should retreat. None of the dancers got Gong Xingyan's favor, and they all left the hall reluctantly.

"King Yan came to our Nanheng country to marry. I am very happy. My princess is raised in the deep palace. She is knowledgeable, well-educated, talented and beautiful. She will definitely have a good story with King Yan." Emperor Xuande smiled and said to the palace. Xing Yan said.

Xi Zhuqin was waiting by the queen mother's side, and Emperor Xuande's words fell into her ears exactly, and what Emperor Xuande said was to let the royal family's direct princess marry the Ximo Dynasty.

When Xi Zhuqin thought of Emperor Xuande's intentions, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart. Her jade hands under her sleeves were tightly clenched into fists, and her two gazes secretly fell on Gong Xingyan's body, and they couldn't move away.

However, Gong Xingyan twitched the corners of his mouth in response to what Emperor Xuande thought was appropriate, and then he raised his eyebrows and said: "The person I want to marry must be the woman I love in this life. The king's coming to Nanheng country to marry this time is not to marry a princess, who he wants to marry has to be chosen by the king himself."

Emperor Xuande did not expect Gong Xingyan to say this. Gong Xingyan's words completely swept away his emperor's face, but the Western Desert Dynasty was powerful enough to annex other countries. Although Gong Xingyan spoke in an extremely domineering tone, Xuan Dedi also suppressed Weilong's anger.

Gong Xingyan said that if she doesn't marry the princess, the happiest person in the palace is Xi Zhuqin. As long as Gong Xingyan doesn't marry the princess of the royal family, she still has a chance. Thinking of this, the fists under her sleeves unconsciously release.

"King Yan wants to personally select the married women from our Nanheng Kingdom. If the noble daughters of Hanyang City, King Yan, don't like all of them, then wouldn't the father call all the unmarried women of Nanheng Kingdom to choose for King Yan? It would be too humiliating to the women of my Nanheng country." Feng Yichen knew that the purpose of Gong Xingyan's marriage this time was only with Xi Wanqing.

Gong Xingyan played with the wine glass, looked at Feng Yichen, and smiled charmingly: "His Royal Highness Chen Wang, don't worry, the scope of this king's choice of princess is within Hanyang City."

"Lei Jian, hand over the list." Gong Xingyan talked to Feng Yichen, and then instructed Lei Jiandao.

Lei Jian took the list prepared by Gong Xingyan to the front of the hall, and Eunuch Zhao walked down the hall to take the list, and handed the list to Emperor Xuande.

Emperor Xuande unfolded the list and saw that all the names on the paper were the names of unmarried noble girls in Hanyang City.

"Prince Yan wants to choose a concubine from among these ladies." Emperor Xuande put away the list, raised his eyebrows and asked Gong Xingyan.

Gong Xingyan replied lightly: "Exactly, I hope the emperor can arrange for this king."

Emperor Xuande didn't answer in time, and the words Xi Wanqing quickly emerged from his mind. He remembered what Guan Jingye said. Guan Jingye could calculate the fate of Bai Mercury and Xi Zhuyan, but only by watching Without knowing Xi Wanqing's fate, he sent hundreds of dead men in black to assassinate Xi Wanqing but failed, instead he lost hundreds of elites in vain.

Emperor Xuande squinted his eyes slightly, and his eyes fell on Gong Xingyan, secretly speculating on the purpose of Gong Xingyan's trip, whether it was a coincidence or intentional.

"King Yan, I see that there is Xi Wanqing, the fifth young lady from the Marquis of Anguo's mansion, on the list. Do you know that Xi Wanqing has no virtue or talent, and adding this woman will not insult the reputation of the Western Desert Dynasty." It should be what an emperor should say, but Emperor Xuande also opened his mouth in order to test Gong Xingyan.

Gong Xingyan was slightly displeased by Xi Wanqing's virtuous and talentless words in Emperor Xuande's mouth, his agate-like eyes slightly swayed with black swirls, and at the same time his tone of voice was a bit stiff: " If this king chooses Xi Wanqing in the end, even if she is a well-known ignorant person, this king will marry Qianli and marry her to Ximo as his concubine."

Xi Zhuqin saw Gong Xingyan's every move, every word and every word in her eyes, and kept it in her heart. At this time, even if Gong Xingyan only said some hypothetical words, her heart was extremely jealous. Xi Wanqing's anger increased a bit.

After the palace banquet lasted for an hour, it finally broke up. Gong Xingyan led Lei Ying, and Lei Jian and Lei Jian were about to leave the palace. When the three of them were on the way out of the palace, they were suddenly stopped by someone.

Gong Xingyan stopped in his tracks, his eyes fell on the woman in front of him, his expression indifferent.

Xi Zhuqin blessed his body to Gong Xingyan: "An Ning has met His Royal Highness King Yan."

"En." Gong Xingyan replied blankly, he moved his feet, bypassed Xi Zhuqin and continued on his way.

Seeing that Gong Xingyan didn't see her in the slightest, Xi Zhuqin felt a little pain in her heart, but seeing this man who looked like a god, she didn't want to give up so easily.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, please stay." Xi Zhuqin was ruthless, bit her lower lip, and mustered up the courage to catch up with Gong Xingyan.

Gong Xingyan's footsteps stopped again, with a handsome face slightly sideways: "I don't know why Princess An Ning called this king."

Xi Zhuqin's eyes were fixed on Gong Xingyan's side face, and she couldn't take her eyes off for a long time. After she was stunned for a moment, she said with a little embarrassment: "His Royal Highness, this sachet was made by An Ning. An Ning wants to give it to His Highness."

Gong Xingyan turned his eyebrows, and his eyes fell on the sachet in Xi Zhuqin's hand: "This king never needs this kind of thing, Princess Anning should keep it for herself."

Gong Xingyan floated lightly, left a word without the slightest emotion, turned around and walked out of the palace.
