Chapter 266: Big Fight Scene
Royal Palace Banquet,
Feng Zhaoyun did not drive straight in as usual, probably because of her Bai Mohan.
There are many carriages parked at the palace gate. The official family members and noble ladies will also come to the banquet today.
As soon as the princess' carriage arrived, soldiers and officers cleared the way and everyone stepped aside.
When Bai Jin got off the car, the noble ladies still couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, it was really beautiful.
A noble lady in the court, "I heard that Her Highness wants to divorce Her Highness the Crown Princess?"
The second noble lady said, "I've heard that too. With such a handsome man and high status, I wonder why Her Highness wants to divorce."
Noble Lady 1, "If we get divorced, I don't know if I can go to the Duke's Mansion to propose marriage..."
The second noble lady was panicked and looked around quickly. Then she pulled her sleeve and said, "Sister, be careful with your words. This is the Crown Princess. She will be the Empress in the future. Who dares to marry a man that the Crown Princess doesn't want?"
Feng Zhaoyun got off the carriage and everyone saluted him hurriedly.
At this moment, Bai Mohan's carriage also stopped, the curtain opened, and Bai Mohan got off the carriage. His purple robe was blown by the breeze. He looked very similar to Bai Jinzhi. Except for his eyes, the two could be said to be exactly the same.
Now many people have finally understood. The people in Her Royal Highness's mansion are all better than the others...
Feng Zhaoyun walked towards Bai Mohan, and the two entered the palace hand in hand, ignoring Bai Jinzhi.
Bai Jinzhi was slightly stunned, looked at the backs of the two people, and then walked in.
Today's palace banquet is held in the Imperial Garden.
As soon as the three of them entered, they attracted everyone's attention.
Feng Zhaoyun walked towards the position below the main stage, which was a symbol of status and the position closest to the empress.
She pulled Bai Mohan to sit with her. Bai Mohan curled his lips slightly, glanced at Bai Jinzhi who was coming over, and then looked at Feng Zhaoyun with tenderness on his face, "Your Highness, this is the seat of the Crown Princess. I dare not. I will just sit below."
At this moment, Bai Jinzhi had just walked in front of the two of them. Feng Zhaoyun looked up at him and then withdrew his gaze coldly. "It's okay. In the future, you will be my princess. You can just sit here."
Bai Jinzhi lowered his eyebrows and sat down in Bai Mohan's seat below the two of them without saying a word.
Suddenly, there was a crowd in front of him. Feng Zhaoyun looked at Jiuyi, who lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, the Regent of the Moon Nation and the envoys have arrived."
Feng Zhaoyun nodded.
Bai Mohan looked at her calm expression and poured her a glass of fruit wine. "Your Highness, I heard that Nangong Shang is your princess, and that your Highness once went to the Moon Kingdom for him..."
Hearing the jealousy in the voice of the person next to her, Feng Zhaoyun smiled gently and reached out to stroke his hand, "Mo Han, everything in the past is no longer important to me. From now on, you are the only one in my heart."
Nangong Shang and Bai Jinzhi are both very good at martial arts, so how could they not have heard these words?
Nangong Shang walked towards the main stage. His seat was opposite the princess. He saw Bai Jinzhi looking at him indifferently.
Nangong Shang smiled. Seeing that he was a female monarch and was sitting in the side monarch position, he knew that he was being abused badly.
Feeling his mocking smile, Bai Jin felt helpless...
He is quite smart...
At this time, everyone had arrived, and a figure caught Feng Zhaoyun's attention.
Xiao Qingyue is now the princess of a county, and now she is blind. Although people dare not make friends with her, many noble ladies are still fascinated by her charm. With her eyes covered with a white veil, she has a unique charm.
Many people came forward to chat.
A graceful figure in gorgeous clothes walked over, and everyone quickly stepped back.
The Third Princess Feng Yaoxue came forward with her maidservants. Seeing that the maidservants were holding exquisite desserts in their hands, everyone tactfully made way.
Zhu Qing helped Xiao Qingyue stand up and bowed slightly, "Greetings to the Third Prince."
Feng Yaoxue smiled and glanced sideways at the people behind her. A palace maid stepped forward and said, "No need to be so polite, County Lady. My prince heard that you like sweets, so he personally went to learn how to make them and made some for you."
Then a few people put the things on the table where Xiao Qingyue was sitting. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Third Princess had taken a fancy to Xiao Qingyue.
Xiao Qingyue's expression was indifferent. "Qingyue no longer likes this kind of sweet food, but thank you for the reward, Your Highness."
Seeing him so cold and distant, Feng Yaoxue almost couldn't pretend. She nodded, then turned and walked towards her seat.
Feng Yaoxue snorted inwardly. He was a blind man, yet he dared to treat her like this. He was really ungrateful...
Nangong Shang naturally noticed Xiao Qingyue's eyes. He retracted his gaze, and a secret guard had already reported that the princess had ordered someone to injure his eyes. It seemed that the prince was no longer the same as before.
At this moment, the Empress entered the room, and Zhou Fuhai called out, "Your Majesty has arrived."
Everyone quickly stood up and knelt, "We pay our respects to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."
The empress entered wearing a yellow phoenix robe. Although she was old, she still looked beautiful, noble and elegant.
The Empress said, "My dear ministers, please stand up."
Everyone, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The banquet began. The empress looked at Nangong Shang, who was still so handsome and the best candidate for the princess in her mind.
The empress looked at Nangong Shang with a motherly smile, "It's been a long time since I last saw you, Shang'er. You haven't changed at all."
Listen to this name...
Nangong Shang, "There is unrest in Yue Kingdom, so I came to Shang Kingdom today."
The Empress said, "When Shang'er and the Crown Princess were engaged, the Yue Kingdom misrepresented the news, forcing our Shang Kingdom to cancel the engagement. What a pity..."
Everyone looked at the princess quietly...
At this time, Nangong Shang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this is exactly why I came here."
The empress was stunned. "Oh? Shang'er, please speak."
Nangong Shang was dressed in a black robe, with handsome eyebrows and bright eyes. Although he was a man, he had an aura around him. "Your Majesty has also said that the engagement between the prince and the princess has been cancelled. No matter what, it is considered a regret of the engagement. Now the prince has come here to ask Your Majesty for an explanation. How should this matter be resolved?"
I didn't expect him to say that. This was exactly what I wanted. The empress looked at Feng Zhaoyun and Bai Jinzhi. Bai Jinzhi was now the princess...
The Empress said, "It is true that our Shang State has let you down in this matter. How does the Regent wish to resolve this?"
Nangong Shang glanced at Feng Zhaoyun and said, "Your Majesty, please grant us a marriage. This prince and His Highness King Jin will both be Pingjun."
Everyone was shocked, and the scene suddenly exploded like a pot of boiling water, with everyone talking about it.
Feng Zhaoyun was also stunned. He turned his head to look at Bai Jinzhi, only to see that he had a calm expression, holding a wine glass, and was also looking at him.
For some reason, she felt guilty but avoided the eye contact, turned her head back, and calmed herself down.
Why am I looking at him? When I heard this just now, I was afraid that he would be angry. I am really crazy...
The Empress said, "It is true that there is a saying that a woman marries a man, but the princess will become the emperor in the future. Does this mean that our Shang Kingdom will have two emperors in the future?"
Nangong Shang said, "Your Highness the Crown Princess can choose a royal lord of her own choice in the future. If you choose King Jin, I will have no objection..."
The Empress was eager for this. In this case, she looked at Feng Zhaoyun and asked, "What do you think, Princess?"
Feng Zhaoyun stood up and said, "I already have a candidate in mind for the future emperor. The second and third princesses of Shang are still unmarried. Why must the regent marry me?"
The empress was angry, and naturally knew who her candidate was. She glanced at Bai Mohan coldly and said that it was an usurpation for the concubine to sit in the main seat at today's banquet.
Nangong Shang didn't even look at Feng Zhaoyun, his aura was extremely cold. "So this is the style of the Shang Kingdom? After breaking the engagement with my Yue Kingdom, the current Crown Princess still has this attitude. With such behavior, is she trying to make the world laugh at her?"
At this moment, a minister from the Yue Kingdom immediately stood up and spoke angrily, throwing out paragraphs of words, all of which imply that the Shang Kingdom had not kept its promise.
The civil servants of the Shang State heard such insults and stood up to confront them, but they kept saying, "To ruin the engagement in this way is to break the promise." The Shang State could only watch in anger.
Just as the two sides were arguing fiercely, the empress looked at Zhou Fuhai calmly, and Zhou Fuhai shouted, "Silence!"
Everyone quieted down and sat back down.
Nangong Shang smiled, "Your Majesty, even if you knew about my death at that time, you should have waited half a year. Why did you arrange another marriage after only a month? No matter how much the civil officials of your Shang Kingdom confront you, you are still not right."
The Empress sighed, "It is indeed the fault of our Shang Kingdom... If so, I wonder if the Princess Royal is willing?"
The Empress actually agreed? ? ? ?
The crucial person had arrived, and everyone looked at Bai Jinzhi in unison. The place was very quiet, and everyone was staring at him, waiting to see how he would respond.
Xiao Qingyue lowered her head slightly, picked up a glass of wine and drank it all. Bai Jinzhi suffered such a great humiliation today. She didn't feel happy at all. Instead, she felt sad for him...
Bai Jinzhi stood up and walked to the middle. Every step he took was like that of an immortal.
He bowed slightly. "Since I have married into the Shang Kingdom, I will obey the king's arrangements. Moreover, that year, Her Highness the Crown Princess was seriously poisoned and was saved by Nangong Shangyue's treasured Snow Pill. At that time, I promised Nangong Shang that I would repay this favor in the future. If the Regent insists on marrying into the Crown Princess's mansion and becoming a princess, I will naturally agree to do so. It will just be a repayment of the promise I made that day."
These words shocked everyone present. They had never expected that His Royal Highness King Jin was such a loyal and righteous man, devoted to the princess wholeheartedly.
The situation suddenly reversed, and everyone couldn't help but look at Bai Jinzhi with great admiration. He was indeed the son of the Duke, the male war king of our Shang Kingdom!
At this time, many young officials were secretly cursing Feng Zhaoyun in their hearts, and Bai Mohan also received many contemptuous looks.
Bai Mohan chuckled, brother is still the best...
Bai Jinzhi's words today actually made the empress change her attitude. This Jin'er is indeed a good man.
The Empress said, "Since that's the case, we can find an auspicious day next month to welcome His Highness Nangong Shang into the palace. As for Jin'er, you are so righteous. I have wronged you. Please select the best items from my private storehouse and send them all to Jin'er."
Zhou Fuhai, "Yes."
Nangong Shang interrupted, "There's no need for next month. This time I came here and have prepared everything. The wedding can be completed in ten days."
Everyone was shocked, it turned out that he had already prepared for this and expected it to happen...
The three men in the Princess's House are all outstanding. Who knows how lively this harem will be in the future...
The Empress said, "Then it's up to you. Getting married sooner is also a good thing."
This matter was over, and the banquet began. Everyone achieved their goals, and the ministers of Yue and Shang drank to their heart's content.
Seeing Feng Zhaoyun was about to explain something to him, Bai Mohan smiled knowingly, "Your Highness, there is no need to explain to me. I know your feelings. As long as you have me in your heart, I am willing to do anything regardless of my status."
Bai Mohan's words were sincere, and Feng Zhaoyun felt even more guilty...
Indeed, this was what he really thought. As long as he could win Yun'er's heart, nothing else mattered.
Feng Zhaoyun held his hand and said, "I will never let you down in the future."
In this bustling atmosphere, Nangong Shang and Bai Jinzhi watched the two of them enjoying their affection...
The two then looked at each other, Nangong Shang stood up and motioned Bai Jinzhi to leave with him.
Bai Jinzhi stood up and left.
Bai Mohan's lips curled slightly. What are these two going to do? Are they going to team up to deal with him?
Then he held his head and said, "Your Highness, I will go for a walk to sober up."
Feng Zhaoyun was about to follow him, but he stopped her, "No problem, your servant wants to walk on his own."
......
After leaving the Imperial Garden and reaching a more remote place, Nangong Shang stopped and turned back to wait for Bai Jinzhi, and saw a man in white following him.
Nangong Shang, "Why did you agree so easily?"
I have lost to Bai Jinzhi on the battlefield, so I naturally know that this person is no less capable than me. However, I didn't expect that he would agree so readily. I thought it would take some effort.
Bai Jin smiled, his peach blossom eyes sparkling. He sat down at the stone table and said, "I told you that you saved His Highness that year, so I will repay your kindness."
Nangong Shang became interested and sneered, "King Jin is indeed loyal and righteous."
Bai Jinzhi looked into the lake, deep in thought. "I'm just afraid I'll disappoint you. His Highness doesn't have either you or me in his heart right now. We're both in this palace, and I don't know what will happen in the future."
Nangong Shang sat down. If Bai Jin had the appearance of an immortal, then Nangong Shang was not inferior at all. He was cold and handsome, like a demon lord.
Nangong Shang, "Has Qingmu's remaining disciples not been found yet?"
Both of them were quite smart people, so they naturally understood that His Highness's sudden change in temperament must have some hidden agenda.
Bai Jinzhi, "You really underestimated my brother Mo Han. Didn't you find him either?"
At this moment, a sneer came from behind the two of them...
