Chapter 120 Does the Emperor's words count?
Chapter 120 Does the Emperor's words count?
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman in a lilac brocade dress and a light purple fox fur shawl slowly walked over.
She has a graceful figure and elegant gait, with an inviolable nobility. Her eyes are bright and lively, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, with a hint of playfulness and intelligence. The pride in her eyes shows her innate confidence and composure.
The slightly upturned corners of the mouth and the subtle smile give people a sense of intimacy without making people feel overly intimate.
The hair accessories are simple and unique. A purple jade hairpin gently pulls up the long hair like a waterfall, and a few strands of hair fall naturally, adding a bit of softness!
Mu Xun was stunned and his face changed drastically. Why was she here?
“Mu Lanfeng!” Zheng Xiuming, the great general who protects the nation, had red eyes, gnashed his teeth, and clenched his fists. He glanced at Mu Xun standing beside him and said in a low voice, “Prime Minister Mu’s good daughter!”
Mu Xun's face turned red and he pretended not to hear.
"who is she?"
Everyone was in an uproar.
I wonder who this girl is? What is her relationship with the King of Yan?
She raised her chin slightly, looked at Bei Zhenfeng with a sharp gaze, and spoke again: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is a descendant of the royal family. How can you casually comment on him?"
After she finished speaking, she walked to the center of the hall and kowtowed to the emperor and empress on the high platform: "Your servant Mu Lanfeng pays homage to the emperor and empress. Long live the emperor and empress!"
On the high platform, the emperor raised his hand slightly, indicating that he didn't need to be polite, and said in a steady and majestic voice: "Stand up! I have heard of the little daughter of Prime Minister Mu's family for a long time. After seeing her today, I find that she is indeed extraordinary!"
Mu Xun hurried forward, knelt down and kowtowed, his voice trembling slightly: "Your Majesty, I am honored to be praised by Your Majesty. It is a blessing for my daughter and for my family. My daughter is young and ignorant, and naughty. If there is anything inappropriate, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. I will teach my daughter strictly and make her more diligent and obedient to repay Your Majesty's grace."
The emperor nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Prime Minister Mu, you are too polite. I think this girl is smart and beautiful, not as you said. Prime Minister Mu, please go back and sit down. There is no need to be so polite!"
Mu Xun kowtowed again. Since the emperor had spoken, he dared not disobey. He signaled to Mu Lanfeng with his eyes that he should not act recklessly, and then sat back in his seat.
Queen Mother Jiang frowned. She had heard her niece mention Mu Lanfeng in front of her many times. When she saw him today, she found that he was indeed eloquent!
Her face darkened slightly, and a layer of frost gradually covered her originally peaceful face.
Li Lingxiao was originally sitting there nonchalantly, drinking his wine with a lazy look on his face, one hand casually placed on the armrest of the chair, his head slightly tilted, looking at the people in the hall with a somewhat distracted gaze.
The moment Mu Lanfeng stepped into Ruiyun Palace, his attention was attracted.
There are such women in the world, bright and lively, yet gentle and beautiful, just like the shining stars in the night sky!
The foreign delegation members looked at each other with different expressions.
Someone narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Mu Lanfeng, secretly guessing the weight of this woman in the court.
Some people showed curiosity and whispered to each other: "How dare a concubine's daughter be so bold!"
"Long Yuan has no one left? Or is Yan Wang no one left?"
……
Mu Lanfeng slowly stood up, bowed her head, and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. I am so humbled. Your Majesty, this Prince Tianluo wants to watch the performance of Prince Yan's Mansion. I will let him open his eyes!"
"If you want to watch a performance at Prince Yan's Mansion, it must be the people from Prince Yan's Mansion who are performing. Who do you think you are!" Zheng Xiuming said sarcastically with a gloomy face.
The King of Yan's face darkened, his eyes flashed coldly, he slowly stood up, walked to Mu Lanfeng, glanced at Zheng Xiuming and asked, "The fifth girl of the Mu Mansion is my future princess, what does your General Zheng say count?"
At this time, everyone in Longyuan knew that they had to unite against the outside world, but Zheng Xiuming was stubborn and insisted on targeting Mu Lanfeng!
"The Prince of Yan said she is the future princess, so she is naturally not a member of the Prince of Yan's Palace now!"
As soon as Zheng Xiuming said this, the cold light in Li Zeqi's eyes instantly shot out like a sharp blade, making people shudder.
He raised his chin slightly, his eyes full of pride and majesty, and said in a deep voice: "General Zheng, my father has issued an order to grant the marriage. In my opinion, Miss Mu Wu is from the Prince of Yan's Mansion. Do you think that my father's words are not binding?
At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall seemed to freeze. Everyone was silent, their eyes moving back and forth between Prince Yan and Zheng Xiuming.
The emperor's face was terribly gloomy. He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Zheng Xiuming with a sharp gaze.
After a moment, he slowly spoke, his voice was not loud, but it was filled with unquestionable majesty: "Zheng Xiuming, I have spoken with all my heart. Since I have issued an order to grant the marriage, according to what the Prince of Yan said, Miss Mu Wu is from the Prince of Yan's mansion. General Zheng does not need to say anything more!"
The emperor's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Zheng Xiuming's heart hard.
He felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet and quickly spreading to his whole body. His face instantly turned pale as paper and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
His legs went limp, and he fell to his knees with a plop, his body trembling slightly. He was a warrior, and even though he admitted his mistake, his words were still straightforward and reckless: "Your Majesty, calm down! I am a rough man, and I acted rashly. I said the wrong thing when I was hot-headed, and I offended Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan. I hope Your Majesty and the Prince of Yan will forgive me!"
"General Zheng, since you know that you are a rough man, you should be more cautious in your actions!" the emperor said coldly.
"I will definitely keep your words in mind and be careful with what I say and do!" Zheng Xiuming's voice trembled slightly.
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Go back and sit down and watch the show!"
Zheng Xiuming kowtowed to express his gratitude, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and returned to his seat.
Li Zeqi looked at the bright girl in front of him, his eyes full of doting. The two looked at each other, and Mu Lanfeng nodded firmly, indicating that it was okay.
"Since Miss Fifth is like this, I believe you are ready. Let's start!" said the emperor.
Li Zeqi sat back in his seat and looked at Mu Lanfeng in front of him, his heart full of anticipation. He knew that Mu Lanfeng would not let him down.
Mu Lanfeng clapped his hands gently, and in an instant, mist slowly floated into the ground of the hall, like smoke and wisps, as if he was riding on the clouds.
Everyone had a look of surprise on their faces, their eyes fixed on this strange sight.
"Help! There's a fire! Put it out!" Bei Zhenfeng jumped onto the chair and exclaimed.
This shout instantly made everyone who was originally immersed in the wonderful atmosphere panic.
Some of the timid guests stood up in panic and looked around, as if the fire was already right in front of them.
"Brother, there is no fire, it's just mist for show!" Bei Yaoge pulled Bei Zhenfeng's sleeve, frowned slightly, and said softly.
There was a hint of anger in her eyes. She turned her head to look at the people around her and an apologetic smile appeared on her face.
"You're really surprised by something you haven't seen before!" someone sneered.
"It's normal for barbarians to be ignorant!" Someone muttered in a low voice with a hint of disdain in the tone.
Although the words were spoken softly, many people in the quiet hall still heard them.
There was a hint of anger in Bei Yaoge's eyes...
