The Stratagem of the Concubine of the Cold King

Chapter 180 Unraveling the Nine Links (2)
Xi Wanqing's eyes turned, and she scanned the whole Jiahe Palace, and finally her eyes rested on Xi Bojian. She didn't expect that Xi Bojian, who was ill, would come to the concubine selection banquet today.

Xi Wanqing walked towards the location of An Guohou's mansion, and when she reached Xi Bojian, she stopped. Although she was extremely unwilling, she still called softly: "Father."

"Well, take a seat." Xi Bojian didn't look at Xi Wanqing, and only told her to sit down.

Xi Wanqing walked to the seat behind Xi Bojian and sat down, then raised her eyes and silently watched the movement above the hall.

After a while, surrounded by the royal guard of honor, Emperor Xuande, Empress, Empress Dowager and others came slowly. The emperors and empresses were all dressed in dragon robes and phoenix suits, showing the majesty of the royal family everywhere. Xi Zhuqin followed closely The Queen Mother waits by her side.

Xi Zhuqin approached, and saw that she was wearing a gorgeous bright red princess phoenix robe. The phoenix robe was more than three feet long. A red veil dress that was also bright red, holding a six-foot red jade veil in her arms, she followed the queen mother and walked into the hall step by step with lotus steps, she was truly glamorous.

Today, Xi Zhuqin's bun was also carefully tied by the maid for her. I saw that her black hair stood tall and stood up like a hibiscus returning to the clouds. Clothes, exquisite jewelry, and makeup are also extremely beautiful.

Xi Zhuqin smiled, she took lotus steps to support the Empress Dowager, walked through the hall with a haughty look, and all the ladies in the hall were jealous.

Everyone greeted Emperor Xuande, the Empress, and the Empress Dowager as they took their seats, and then stood up and went to the front of the hall to salute: "See Your Majesty, Empress, Empress Dowager."

Emperor Xuande gently raised his hand towards the palace: "Pingshen, take your seat."

"Thanks to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." After everyone in the hall bowed their heads to thank Emperor Xuande, they took their seats one after another.

"His Royal Highness King Yan is here, His Royal Highness King Chen is here." As soon as everyone sat down, the eunuch's salutation sounded outside the hall.

Following the eunuch's words, Gong Xingyan strode towards the palace in a black robe, Lei Jian and Lei Ying followed him all the time.

Feng Yichen was still wearing a crescent-white robe, and the breath around him was light and faint, as if he was stepping on a snow lotus.

Both of them are like gods, as soon as they entered the hall, the eyes of all the ladies fell on them, and they couldn't move their eyes away.

"Your Majesty." Gong Xingyan walked to the front of the hall, and gently nodded to Emperor Xuande who was sitting on him.

"I see my father." Feng Yichen threw off her spotless crescent white robe, knelt down to salute Emperor Xuande.

After paying respects to Emperor Xuande, the two went to their seats. Of course, Feng Yichen and Gong Xingyan were both in the first place, and they happened to be sitting face to face.

The protagonists were all present, and the concubine selection banquet officially started, and the mood of the ladies became more and more tense, and everyone was thinking in their hearts that if they could marry someone like King Yan, their life would be perfect.

Not only the girls in the palace were nervous, but also the ministers in the palace were also very nervous. They were all thinking that if their daughter could be chosen by King Yan, who was admired by thousands of people in the Western Desert Dynasty, then his status in Nanheng Kingdom would be great. But a thousand miles a day.

In the entire Jiahe Palace, only Xi Wanqing was the calmest. She sat silently on her seat with an extremely calm expression, as if she wasn't the protagonist of today's concubine selection banquet.

Since Gong Xingyan entered the palace, two eyes fell on Xi Wanqing secretly. He looked at Xi Wanqing's calm expression, and his heart was so spoiled that it turned into a pool of spring water.

Emperor Xuande's eyes fell on Gong Xingyan, and he said in a questioning tone: "King Yan, all the noble ladies of Nanheng Kingdom are in the palace, I don't know how King Yan will choose the future Princess Yan, it is to test the noble daughters. Is it their piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or their singing and dancing poems?"

The corner of Gong Xingyan's mouth curled up, revealing a faint, invisible smile: "Your Majesty, our Western Desert Dynasty has never lacked women with both talents and looks. This king's choice of concubine this time does not test The piano, chess, calligraphy and painting of noble ladies do not test the singing, dancing and poetry of noble ladies."

Gong Xingyan's words echoed softly in the hall, and fell into the ears of every lady who participated in the election. These ladies originally wanted to show off their special skills in the hall, but now they are no more than piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing. Poetry, what can it be compared with, this makes the ladies have doubts one by one.

"King Yan, it's not better than piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, or singing, dancing and poetry, what else can it be compared to?" Emperor Xuande also looked at Gong Xingyan with some doubts.

Gong Xingyan's thin lips moved slightly again: "As long as anyone can untie this king's nine chains, this king will marry her as Princess Yan."

"Lei Jian, take out my king's Jiulianhuan." After Gong Xingyan and Emperor Xuande finished speaking, he ordered Leijian to take out Jiulianhuan.

Lei Jian secretly felt that his master was very treacherous, and that Nine Chains was a knot at all, and it would be impossible to untie it by ordinary methods, unless it was smashed to pieces. Who would have thought of smashing Nine Chains directly, and who would be so bold as to smash King Yan's Nine Chains? Only people like Fifth Miss who play cards unreasonably and who are not afraid of the Lord can do such things.

Lei Jian walked out from behind Gong Xingyan, and handed a nine-chain ring made of white jade to an eunuch.

The eunuch carefully stood on the main hall holding the nine rings. Emperor Xuande glanced at the hall, and said majesticly: "As long as you untie the white jade nine rings of King Yan, I will make her a princess and go to the Western Desert Dynasty to marry. Which family?" Girlfriend, come and try first."

After Emperor Xuande finished speaking, a woman walked towards the front of the hall with lotus steps. The woman was dressed in a pink veil and her makeup was extremely delicate.

"I see the emperor, the empress, the empress dowager, I wish the emperor good health, the empress, the empress dowager has good fortune and prosperity." The woman nodded, saluted the palace respectfully, and said a few compliments.

Empress, the empress dowager was very satisfied after hearing this, so they both looked at the woman in the palace with soft eyebrows, Xi Zhuqin was waiting by the empress dowager's side, her gaze fell on the woman, and she slapped the woman fiercely. Eye.

"Give Jiulianhuan to her." Emperor Xuande ordered the eunuch to hand Jiulianhuan to the noble lady in the hall.

After the noble girl took over Jiu Lianhuan, she started to untie it. All eyes in the hall fell on that noble girl. Time flew by, and the time of a stick of incense passed in the blink of an eye. Going, there was always a link that could not be untied, she was so anxious that she stood in the hall, slightly sweating on her forehead.

Gong Xingyan was sitting on the seat, his gaze fell on Xi Wanqing's body secretly, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he was playing with the gold bottle in his hand lazily, not caring about the affairs in the palace at all, it was up to the woman in the palace, Xie Jiu Lianhuan seems to have nothing to do with him at all.
