The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 69 How happy you can be if you can see but not eat?

Chapter 69 How happy you can be if you can see but not eat?

Listening to Li Er's words, not only the ministers present were stunned, but even Bai Jingyi was also stunned. He never thought that Li Er would agree with his own rhetoric.

At that time, it was just to test Li Er. After all, he also knew that in ancient times, there was only one wife. If he wanted to take a concubine, he had to get the consent of the wife.

Otherwise, you can't take concubines at all, and the status of concubines is very low, there is no status at all.

Bai Jingyi put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, and watched all this quietly, because the food has not been served yet after waiting for a long time.
And how could Pei Ji allow Li Er's plot to succeed, and then he coughed lightly twice to the ministers behind him, and he took the lead to bow to Li Er and said: "My Majesty, I think this matter should be done." In the long run, you must not be so hasty, please think twice!"

The ministers in the rear also stood up and bowed to Li Er and said, "It's against etiquette to report to the Holy Majesty! Please think again, Your Majesty!"

"My lord! If I reward the two princesses, I will be ridiculed by the world and the princess of my royal family will be reduced to a concubine!"

"Report to Your Majesty! If so."

Before he finished speaking, Li Er directly shouted angrily: "Enough! Shut up!"

This sentence instantly frightened the ministers to break out in a cold sweat, and they were too scared to speak.

But Li Er said with some warmth and anger: "If Bai Jiaerlang hadn't stepped forward and put life and death aside, wouldn't my Changle have become the concubine of the Turkic Khan!?"

"If the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty becomes the concubine of the Turkic barbarians, then my royal family of the Tang Dynasty will truly become the laughing stock of the world. This is the regret and stain of my life!"

"Back then you and the others collectively forced the palace and asked me to send the eldest princess to make peace with the Turkic barbarians, but now you are here to obstruct me again!"

"Today, I have made up my mind, and no one can stop it. What's more, this important marriage is the order of my parents and the words of the matchmaker. It's not your turn to dictate who my daughter will marry!"

While speaking, Li Er's imperial majesty was fully released, these ministers were immediately speechless, and standing in the center of the hall was very awkward.

Cheng Yaojin's face turned black even more, thinking: Originally thought that the Holy Majesty would not reward the princess, what should I do now, if Chu Chu married in the past, wouldn't she become a concubine?

Now that the matter has become a foregone conclusion, it is meaningless to stop it. Instead of doing so, it is better to take this opportunity to leave a good impression in front of the two princesses, so that Chu Chu will not be bullied in the future.

Immediately, Cheng Yaojin stood up and quacked with a strange smile, breaking the calm and said: "Quack quack! Now the emperor's royal driver has returned home in triumph, and today he has such a good son-in-law. It's really double happiness!"

All the generals immediately lamented that Cheng Yaojin was a Cheng goblin, not only resolved the embarrassment at this time, but also brought the disintegrated banquet back to a lively scene.

A group of generals immediately stood up following Cheng Yaojin's words and congratulated.

Changsun Wuji could only sigh helplessly, and then sat in his seat, no matter whether it was the Holy Spirit who was angry or really wanted such a reward.

Now that the Holy Majesty has made such a decision in front of civil and military officials, then this matter has become a foregone conclusion, and there is no way to change it.

The old eunuch next to Li Er immediately winked at the young eunuch next to him, and after a while, a group of musicians and singers walked in.

Under such a lively scene, everyone seemed to forget the embarrassment and displeasure just now with the sound of music.

After all, the people present are all good people, and they will never dwell on a problem for a long time, and even if it is brought up again, they will not feel embarrassed at all.

After the singing and dancing were over, everyone started pushing glasses and changing glasses, and they also started walking around and chatting with each other.

Li Er waved his hand lightly and said: "Bai Jiaerlang will be rewarded tomorrow morning! I will not return tonight if I am not drunk with all my lovers!"

After Li Er's voice fell, the ministers present were completely let go, pushing cups and changing cups one by one, and gathered together in small groups to talk with each other.

Li Er bragged about his achievements with a group of confidant ministers and some high-ranking ministers, firstly to show how strong his ability is, and secondly to frighten these ministers.

It seems to be telling them not to have other extra thoughts, even if they are as strong as Youzhou King Luo Yi, I personally put down the rebellion, and all the Turkic cavalry were killed on the land of Datang.

Of course, Li Er's core purpose is to show off himself.

Seeing their bragging and falsely flattering each other, Bai Jingyi really didn't want to continue watching.

He took two strange fruits as desserts and left his seat. After all, the hall where the dinner party was held was magnificent, and the side hall next door was not bad, so taking a stroll was like exercising after dinner.
Just as he was about to leave, Li Lizhi suddenly pulled Princess Xiangcheng over, and slightly bowed to Bai Jingyi and said, "Thank you, Mr. Bai, for saving your life, Lizhi!"

Bai Jingyi was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the two little girls with blushing faces in front of him, and said with a faint smile, "They are almost my wife, so why be so polite!"

This sentence instantly made the two of them lower their heads quickly, not even daring to look into Bai Jingyi's eyes.

Although Princess Xiangcheng was old, she was too embarrassed to speak, her mind was already blank, her heart was beating even faster, she raised her head slightly but didn't know what to say, instead she lowered her head even more shyly.

Bai Jingyi said jokingly: "I will kill you two!? Why do you keep your head down? If it keeps like this, I will leave!"

After the words were finished, Bai Jingyi turned and left without hesitation. When Li Lizhi and Xiangcheng raised their heads again, they could only see Bai Jingyi's back.

Seeing Bai Jingyi leaving, Li Er simply ignored him, and winked at the old eunuch beside him, telling him to follow behind Bai Jingyi.

After all, there are still many forbidden places in this palace, it is impossible to let him wander around, and the second is to monitor who Bai Jingyi has close contact with after he goes out.

There is no way, Bai Jingyi is too powerful, and his army is full of elites. At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he and the two princesses were not yet married, so Li Er had to guard against him.

Li Lizhi and Xiangcheng glanced at each other, then secretly looked in the direction of Li Er and Empress Changsun, and while they were not paying attention, quickly followed Bai Jingyi's footsteps.

In fact, both Li Er and Empress Changsun deliberately pretended to turn a blind eye, and they were afraid that these two silly girls would not know how to seize the opportunity.
Bai Jingyi was not moving fast, but he was thinking in his heart: If he walked too fast, the two little girls behind would definitely not be able to catch up with him.

And Bai Jingyi didn't even turn his head back at all, the system was communicating in his mind, and the other end of the system was connected to King Lanling!
