Chapter 207 Rongle Attacks
Liu Fanchen said to Rongle coldly, "Princess, please respect yourself." This sentence is very important even if it is used on ordinary women. But Princess Rongle was not angry, but instead said with a smile, "Mr. Liu, what you said makes Rongle so sad."
Liu Fanchen had no choice but to such a shameless princess. "The princess is a daughter, and she is just an official. I also asked the princess to take the royal body as the most important thing." As soon as this said, everyone around him exclaimed secretly. This sentence has shown that the two people have different identities and hopes that Rongle will keep a certain distance from him.
But Rongle didn't know if he really didn't understand or pretended to be confused, "Since Lord Liu knows my identity, why do he still have deep affection for the merchant woman? Or is Lord Liu having any hidden secrets? Maybe we should talk to me one by one. As long as the problems that this palace can solve will be solved one by one."
After Rong Le said this, he looked at Wanxin's direction with a profound meaning. The behavior of meaning was obvious. Everyone present knew that the relationship between Liu Fanchen and Wanxin was extraordinary. At this time, the place where the female relatives were located had already burst into surprises. Liu Fanchen is the hottest young talent in the court at present. Not to mention his young age, he has now become the third rank. Since the founding of the Northern Liang Kingdom, no such young person has had such a high official position. It can be seen that Liu Fanchen's future prospects are bright, and Liu Fanchen is still in the wind. Even if he has no official position, it will attract the attention of the ladies from all walks of life.
Most of the women of the right age in the family of officials in the court are concerned about Liu Fanchen. If they hadn't known Princess Rongle's intentions, no one would dare to fight with the princess. But because they knew that Liu Fanchen had always ignored Rongle, all the women who had still hoped that they would have hope, so the women who came to the banquet today all dressed up. In comparison, only Wan Xin was simply dressed. When they heard that Liu Fanchen actually had something else in their hearts, and this person was the daughter of a merchant who they looked down upon at all, even if her brother was already the general's official position, it would be useless.
Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is a common problem for most people. They dare not fight with Rongle, but no one took Wanxin into his eyes and threw hostile eyes at her. Some bold people were already whispering to Wanxin and were indecent words such as shamelessness. Wanxin felt a little depressed. He obviously did nothing, but the person who attracted bees and butterflies was the one who was scolded. Who did she provoke whom? Wanxin became more and more angry the more she thought about it, and he pressed these charges on Liu Fanchen.
Liu Fanchen had long seen Wan Xin’s location. He was very skilled and naturally heard those miscellaneous remarks and couldn’t help but frown. It turned out that these seemingly educated ladies were so vicious. While Liu Fanchen was disgusted, Rong Le comforted him with considerate concern, “Don’t pay attention to the remarks of those people. They are all people without tutors, unlike me…”
Liu Fanchen glanced at Rong Le coldly. His cold eyes could make people feel biting cold even in the hot summer. Rong Le saw that Liu Fanchen was really angry and stood there and looked at his back blankly. It was not until Liu Fanchen took his seat that Rong Le returned to his seat. When he passed by Wan Xin, he still did not forget to hit her table hard, and the wine glass on Wan Xin's table fell on her.
Rong Le was about to sneer, but found that there was no drink in the cup. It turned out that Wan Xin had already expected that when Rong Le returned, he would use the same trick again, so he did not pour a drop of wine in the cup. Rong Le did not expect that Wan Xin would not succeed, and was treated coldly by Liu Fanchen just now, and he felt even more depressed. After a little thought, he had a plan and then found a personal palace maid and whispered in her ear. After hearing this, the palace maid had a little worried in his eyes. Rong Le glared at the palace maid fiercely, and the palace maid had to nod and retreat.
All of this was seen by Wan Xin, who was silent. She had seen this little girl's trick in Shen's house many times. Now Rong Le's behavior is just a clown in her eyes. If Rong Le had not had a noble status, she would have returned several times. Now she has been holding on to it again and again, but she did not expect Rong Le to be aggressive, so she should not blame her for being rude.
Not long after, the prince, the emperor and the empress appeared at the banquet, and Qin Shudan was still following Emperor Beiliang. When Qin Shudan appeared, he saw Wan Xin in the crowd at a glance. Although their eyes were only brief exchanges, Wan Xin still read a lot of information from Qin Shudan's expression. It seems that Qin Shudan has already gained flaws about the murderer of his father, and now he is no longer as simple as when he first entered the palace. Although in just a few months, Qin Shudan's improvement can be said to be astonishing.
Just when Wan Xin and Qin Shudan were eye contact, there was a person who was very tempting. This person was Liu Fanchen. When he saw that Wan Xin had such a tacit understanding with others, he felt very uncomfortable. The more he looked at Qin Shudan, the more he became dissatisfied.
On the contrary, Shen Qiang felt that Qin Shudan was a talented person and was humble. He was not like Liu Fanchen, who regarded himself as a arrogant person. In the court, there was no one he looked at him directly. Although Liu Fanchen was also excellent, in comparison, Shen Qiang liked Qin Shudan even more.
The banquet officially began, nothing more than the speech of Emperor Beiliang. Everyone agreed with the emperor's remarks, and looked like a scene of the king and his ministers having fun together. But everyone knew very well that there was nothing to enjoy with the people, but that the emperor was just willing to accompany them to have a meal.
Emperor Beiliang read out the commendation to Shen Qiang in public. When Emperor Beiliang asked Shen Qiang what he had requested, these words were always the emperor's polite words. The ministers often replied that the minister's request was to devote themselves to the Northern Liang Kingdom and be loyal to the emperor. Just when Emperor Beiliang asked Shen Qiang what he had requested, Shen Qiang actually stood up, knelt down in a regular manner, and performed the rituals of the king and the minister. Just when Shen Qiang performed the salute, everyone was quite surprised. Why did Shen Qiang really want to ask the emperor for commendation?
Emperor Beiliang did not expect that Shen Qiang really wanted to make a request, but Jun Wu said nothing. After saying a word, he would do what he said. Emperor Beiliang stroked his beard and smiled, "It seems that Shen Aiqing is still dissatisfied with my reward. Tell me, what else do you want?"
Although Shen Qiang was not proficient in being an official, how could he not hear the meaning of the emperor's words? But Shen Qiang still knelt down with his neck in his arms, "Your Majesty, I have a ruthless request, I hope Your Majesty will fulfill it."
"Shen Aiqing, what's the matter? Even if I promise you, I will do it." Emperor Beiliang was also surprised. Shen Qiang was obviously not a person who was greedy for wealth and honor. He gave it to him the General's Mansion. He also changed to a smaller one. Half of the silk, satin, gold and silver last time, was donated to the people of Beiliang. Why did he even have other requests to make?
"I dare to beg Your Majesty to ask for a name for my sister." After that, Chen Qiang kowtowed deeply to the ground and couldn't get up.
"Oh?" Emperor Beiliang did not expect that Chen Qiang was asking for a name for his sister, and found it quite interesting, "Who is your sister?"
At this time, the queen beside Emperor Beiliang reminded, "Your Majesty, his sister is Chen Wanxin."
After hearing this, Emperor Beiliang, Longmu swept around the crowd and quickly locked in the direction where Chen Wanxin was sitting. Just when Wanxin heard Chen Qiang's request, her head couldn't help but buzz. Why didn't she know about the big brother's actions?
At this time, many people still didn't know who Chen Qiang's sister was, and everyone was talking nonsense.
"Su Jing, Chen Aiqing, you are asking for your sister's name, then is your sister here today?" Beiliang kept looking at Wan Xin and asked slowly.
Chen Qiang was happy and thought that the Northern Liang Emperor was going to agree. "Report to Your Majesty, my sister will attend the banquet with me today."
"Xuan..." Emperor Beiliang still looked solemn, and no one knew what the emperor was thinking about this matter.
Chen Qiang saw the expression of Emperor Beiliang, and was suspicious. Did he anger Long Wei? Thinking of this, a drop of cold sweat broke out from his neck.
"Xuan Chenqiang's sister came forward to the emperor." The father-in-law's voice resounded over the hall.
After hearing this, Wanxin had to get up. Just when Wanxin got up, she had already heard the female seats from behind and the sound of sneering in a low voice. The air conditioner did not expect that she was Chen Qiang's sister, and the laughter was that she waited for the emperor to get angry and severely punish the brother and sister.
Wan Xin took a lotus step and walked forward step by step. At this time, the laughter had gradually stopped. No one expected that the daughter of a merchant would take such dignified steps. Just as she had practiced for thousands of times, although Wan Xin was wearing a simple dress today, she seemed to be emitting light, attracting everyone's attention.
"Men's daughter pays homage to the emperor, long live my emperor." Wan Xin knelt down in an orderly manner to pay his respects, and all the actions were done in one go, making people unable to find any fault.
Even the Emperor and Empress of Beiliang who had seen Wanxin several times were shocked. Wanxin's previous tribute could be said to be in a regular manner and without any merits, but today's tribute was perfect and unrequited. Even those who pay homage to the emperor every day may not necessarily be as refreshing as Wanxin's tribute.
Wan Xin already knew in her heart that her behavior attracted everyone's attention. She had always hidden her words and deeds. Now that Chen Qiang is trying to get her name, she naturally cannot let down her elder brother's beauty.
And these actions were exactly what she learned in Yan's mansion in her previous life. Yan Jinfei always believed that Wanxin could not enter the elegant hall. For countless days and nights, Wanxin silently repeated the etiquette of paying respects to everyone until they were integrated into the bone marrow. Even the extremely harsh Yan Jinfei could not find any fault, but he still believed that Wanxin had only learned the superficial knowledge and did not learn the essence, and refused to take Wanxin to see anything. Although Wanxin's tribute movement was the first time to show it in front of everyone, she was as if she was bowing to the emperor every day, without any restraint or arrogance.
"Well, you are Chen Wanxin. I think you look familiar." Emperor Beiliang looked down at the two people kneeling on the ground from a high place.
Wanxin knew that this was just the pretending mystery of Emperor Beiliang, so that everyone could know that the emperor was not very familiar with her, and the emperor's actions clearly expressed that he did not want others to know about her relationship with Qin Shudan. Wanxin replied very tactfully, "Your Majesty, the people's daughter once entered the palace to meet the saint after the Yuedan Spring and Autumn Period, so the saint would have an impression of the people."
Emperor Beiliang was very satisfied with Wan Xin's answer. Seeing that she did not mention Qin Shudan at all, she only mentioned her experience of entering the palace. Long Yan was very happy, "Yes, I almost forgot if you didn't say it. I didn't expect that the Shen family is really a talented man in civil and military affairs. You brother and sister are really the veil of the Shen family. Since Chen Aiqing asked you for a name and you are indeed a talented woman, then how about I accept you as my adopted daughter?"
"I object!" Before Wan Xin could react, someone interrupted the emperor's words. "Father, I object!" Rong Le saw that the emperor actually wanted to sign Wan Xin as her adopted daughter, wouldn't that be almost the same as her status? How could she agree to this matter? She must firmly oppose it to the end.
"Look, some people don't want to do it anymore. Why do you object to Rongle?" Emperor Beiliang said casually just now, and did not really want to confer Wanxin as the princess. A businessman's daughter becomes the emperor's adopted daughter. Wouldn't she laugh out loud?
"Father, you said that there is only Rongle, one daughter, how can you..." Rongle knelt down when he came to the front. He was about to blurt out and looked at the queen who was already smiling in front of him, and then changed his words, "You still want to make others a princess? Father, Rongle disagrees, Rongle disagrees."
If others were extremely embarrassed at this time, Wan Xin's facial expression did not change at all. She still knelt there quietly, waiting for the Northern Liang Emperor's defeat with a submissive attitude. The queen completely saw this move. Although she also felt that the status of the merchant daughter was not high enough, compared to Rongle, she was more interested in Wan Xin's personality.
"Then Rongle, what name should I give her?" Emperor Beiliang was very fond of Rongle, and did not think it was inappropriate to leave this matter to Rongle to win.
Liu Fanchen's expression had already darkened a lot at this time. Emperor Beiliang actually casually handed such a serious matter to a willful princess as a joke.
When Rong Le heard the question from Emperor Beiliang, he was secretly happy and immediately said, "Father, Rong Le thinks that this Miss Chen can make my adopted daughter."
As soon as these words were spoken, they were all in an uproar on the spot. Rong Le dared to say such bold and arbitrary remarks. After hearing this, Emperor Beiliang did not feel angry at all, but instead he really thought about it. All the officials present looked unhappy. If Emperor Beiliang agreed to Rong Le's actions, wouldn't Chen Qiang also become Rong Le's adopted son? Such humiliation of heroes is simply a big laugh!
