Chapter 73： I do not regret

The Zichen Palace fell silent, the courtiers on the right were silently waiting for the empress' statement, while the envoys from various states on the left were watching the excitement.

"Prince Diela, don't worry, we can talk about the marriage proposal face to face later." Li Zichou practiced Tai Chi skillfully.

But Yeludeira didn't show any face: "Marriage is a contract signed by the two countries in the past. The Dasheng Emperor will not keep his promise?"

Yang Dejin sneered softly and rolled his eyes.

It is said that the contract was made by the previous generation. Li Zichou really does not need to renew the contract. Shuobei is really funny.

Li Zichou had the same thoughts as Yang Dejin, but on this occasion, she couldn't turn her face in public.

Both Bai Qingyang and Xie Zhi still held their breath, thinking to themselves where this is going.

Li Zishou said seriously: "I am the Son of Heaven, and if I say what I say, it will mean what I say."

But she never said that she wanted to marry a princess.

"Then how about taking advantage of today's festive day to finalize the marriage between the two countries?" Jeludia said.

Li Zichou pursed his lips, exchanged a look with Bai Qingyang, and decided to follow the previously discussed strategy: "Don't hide it from the prince, it's not because I don't want to marry."

"I don't have many sisters and cousins, and there are very few women in the clan who can do it.

"Because of this matter, I've been thinking so hard, and I really can't come up with a good plan, so I want to ask the prince to talk about it alone.

"If the prince is eager for success, I'm afraid I can't come up with the answer the prince wants right now."

Li Zishou's tone was calm and full of sincerity. After hearing this, the ministers also understood the attitude of the empress—it was not so easy for Shuobei to get married.

Yeludeira was a little surprised, it was different from what he expected.

The lady of Dasheng should show impatience and sullenness after hearing what she said, and then break the contract in front of everyone. How could she answer herself so nicely?

She was making progress by retreating, and the envoys from other states expressed their understanding, but the one who was ignorant of the current affairs became him, Yeludiel.

This was Bai Qingyang's idea, and it was absolutely impossible to agree to the marriage, but in order to prevent Dasheng from being mistreated, they could not break the contract in front of the foreign envoy, so they could only choose to temporarily stabilize the Shuobei envoy.

The so-called slowing down strategy can at least ensure that today's banquet will pass peacefully.

Seeing Yeludeira standing still, Li Zishou asked casually again: "Or is it that the prince has already taken a fancy to a woman in my boudoir in Dasheng?"

Yeludeira stood where he was, looking at the high position with his eagle eyes. Li Zihou had no emotion in his eyes, and he looked at him unwaveringly. As for Bai Qingyang who was dressed in fine clothes beside him...

Anyway, his mission to Dasheng is to stir up trouble, why not...

The moment he met Yeludie's eyes, Bai Qingyang's back suddenly went cold, and he always felt an ominous premonition.

"Will Your Majesty give you as long as it's a girl that I, Yeludeira, like?"

Li Zi paid a meal, his eyes narrowed.

Is it possible that some unlucky guy was taken by Jeludia?

"Tell me, the prince."

"Forgive me for being daring," Jeludia flashed a sinister streak in his eyes, "I fell in love with Your Highness the Queen at first sight."

Bai Qingyang:?

"Pfft—" Zhou Huaijin quickly took out the handkerchief in his bosom and smeared it on Liang Jing's face, "cough cough cough! Yes, I'm sorry...Master Liang, wipe it off quickly..."

Liang Jing, who was sprayed with tea, said: "..." He slapped Zhou Huaijin's hand away, stared at the culprit, his mustache was about to fly out of anger.

Yang Dejin's movement of cutting melons trembled, almost scratching his hand: "?" Is there something wrong with my ears? How did I hear Yeludeira say that he likes Bai Qingyang? ?

How dare Jerodelah? She really wanted to cut open his brain with the fruit knife in her hand and see what he was thinking.

Li Zishou glanced at his side subconsciously: "..."

The unlucky guy was by my side.

The ministers were shocked, they suppressed their voices and talked to each other, thinking about how this farce would end today, almost no one dared to look at Li Zifu's expression at this moment.

The envoys of the various ministries on the other side were dizzy from the impact of this heavy speech. While wanting to reduce their sense of existence and watching from the sidelines, they were also afraid that eating a melon would eat their own heads, and fell into an exciting dilemma.

The eyes of Xie Zhi and Bai Qingyang met in the air, neither of them expected the strange change to appear here.

Just as Bai Qingyang's thoughts were racing and he was about to react, his left hand was held by a pair of warm hands.

Bai Qingyang looked at Li Zishou, her face became a bit obscure, and some bad emotions began to surge in her eyes.

But she still maintained the demeanor of the king of a country, her tone was terrifyingly calm: "Does the prince know that Bai Qingyang is the queen that my matchmaker is marrying?"

"But Your Majesty, you and she are both women, right?" Yeludeira didn't seem to see the displeasure in Li Zifu's eyes.

"I and the queen are both women, so what?" Li Zichou narrowed his eyes, and there was a low air pressure around him.

She thought that if Jerudeira talked nonsense, she would definitely not let him go.

"Her Majesty is sitting in the Central Plains, so naturally I, a foreigner, can't say anything. But—"

"Brother Wang!" Ayigul had a premonition that things were about to get out of control, so she quickly called Yeludie.

But Yeludeira ignored it, and said to himself: "Did Your Majesty ask her about her wishes and feelings when she was 'marrying the Ming matchmaker'?"

"Hiss—" Yang Dejin couldn't bear to look any longer, so he tapped on his shoulders, forehead and heart, drew a sign of the cross, and then clasped his hands together, causing people around him to look at Yang Dejin as if they were freaks.

Brother, the road is narrow...

Hope something big happens.

Li Zishou's hands tightened slightly, the masseter muscles on his face twitched, and he wanted to get up in the next second, Bai Qingyang quickly turned his left hand and pulled her back:

"Shou, don't be impulsive, I don't care anymore." Bai Qingyang's eyes were clear, showing that she was not lying.

"But I care." Li Zichou said in a low tone, faintly wanting to get angry, and slowly took her hand away with the other hand.

Bai Qingyang's knuckles were slender and his skin was delicate, Li Zifu was not willing to use force to hold it.

"Don't worry, I know how to measure." Li Zifufu comforted again softly.

Li Zichou covered her hand, he didn't know what he was thinking, and finally said "I'm sorry" in a low voice, then got up and walked off the platform.

"Reward!" Bai Qingyang failed to stop Li Zishou, and could only watch her back as she walked towards Yeludie.

The closer Li Zichou was to Yeludeira, the more stagnant the atmosphere felt. In the Zichen Hall where hundreds of people were sitting, at this moment only the dull sound of Li Zichou's steps could be heard.

It was not only Bai Qingyang and many ministers who were nervous, but also a group of foreign envoys including Ayigul. This scene obviously exceeded their expectations.

The former is because they have seen the **** scene of Li Zishou getting angry in the court, and the latter is because their impression of Li Zishou is still the famous female tyrant in the Central Plains.

Grassland people are born tall and tall, and Yeludeira is especially outstanding, a real seven-foot man. In front of him, Li Zichou, who was in his early 17's, looked extremely weak.

Li Zichou, who was wearing a flat uniform, stood still in front of Yeludeira, and raised his eyes to look at him without fear:

"Grand Yu, this is a state affairs of great prosperity, a prince, a foreigner, has no right to intervene; privately, this is my family matter, and a prince, an outsider, has no right to comment."

"Yu Li, Bai Qingyang is still my wife in name, you are talking nonsense to the Lord on this occasion, and you have bad intentions. Yu Qing..."

In the middle of Li Zichou's speech, he paused for a moment, and his tone softened: "Yu Qing, my actions were indeed ill-considered. What about you? Did the prince consider her wishes and feelings when he said these words?"

There was no emotion in Li Zishou's eyes, and all the anger on her face dissipated. She had already put down her figure as a ruler and tried to convince others with reason.

"You..." Yeludeira only felt that this kind of plum payment was more oppressive than the rumored tyrant, and also more difficult to deal with. He couldn't help but was forced to take a step back by the opponent's momentum, opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.

"If the prince is really interested in her, he has to ask her what she means." Li Zichou said at last, with his eyes downcast, his expression unclear.

Yang Dejin was terrified watching from the sidelines, Li Zichou was talking to Yeludeira with her trump card two debate skills.

Yang Dejin: So strong.

After Li Zichou finished speaking, the hall returned to silence, and no one made a sound for a long time.

Bai Qingyang stood up and said to everyone, "I don't regret it."

Li Zichou opened his eyes wide and looked back at her.

Bai Qingyang also stepped down from his high position, came to Li Zichou's side, and said to her, "Staying here is my own choice."

So, don't show that sorry face, it's not you who should say sorry.

Then she said to Jerudia, "Forgive me for your refusal."

Succinct, not loud, but loud enough for everyone to hear.

As soon as she finished speaking, Ayi Guli got up and walked to Yeludeira: "Brother Wang has always been impulsive and offended His Majesty Sheng Huang and His Royal Highness, Ayi apologized for him."

Bai Qingyang looked at her and didn't say much.

When they met their eyes, they understood the meaning of the other party, and each led their own people back to their seats.

"Is this the end?" Yang Dejin said to himself.

Xie Zhi glanced at her: "What else do you want to see?"

Yang Dejin muttered, "I thought there would be a fight."

Xie Zhi: "..." What exactly is Yang Dejin looking forward to...

Yang Dejin quickly made amends: "Of course, I hope our side can win." It's best to give Hai Bian a meal.

Xie Zhi was at a loss for words, and didn't quite understand her mentality of watching the excitement without taking it too seriously.

However, Xie Zhi looked at the two people who had already returned to their positions. She was just sweating because of the tense situation. She could only watch from the sidelines but could do nothing. collapsed.

It's just that she didn't expect Li Zishou to be able to argue against Shuobei's envoy for Bai Qingyang. She cared more about Bai Qingyang than she imagined.

From this point of view, Bai Qingyang may not be going in one direction... right?

The musicians and dancers resumed their performances, the courtiers and envoys chatted with each other to divert the topic, and the Zichen Palace became noisy again. It's just that until the end of the banquet, the atmosphere on the court could not return to the enthusiasm it had in the first half.

Also sitting side by side, Ayigul was whispering something to Yeludeira, but Li Zifu and Bai Qingyang didn't say a word.

The author has something to say:

Li Zichou: If your wife looks like Bai Qingyang, then this is not your wife, this is my wife, go find your own wife!

My roommate has already started school for more than ten days, and only I am still on vacation, so annoying.
