The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 55 Marriage Proposal at the Banquet

After Xue Qingyin finished her salute, she felt a little cold all over her body.

When she looked up, she found someone looking at her.

He was a middle-aged man with a gentle face and no anger. He was dressed in a dragon robe and looked handsome. That was of course Emperor Liang De.

In addition to Emperor Liang De, Concubine Wan and another older woman with her hair in a high bun were also looking at her. She should be... the Queen Mother, right?

At the same time, he was watched by the three giants of the palace.

Xue Qingyin...Xue Qingyin became hardened instead. She should eat and drink.

Otherwise, what else could happen?

Did you die on the spot?

It can be seen that he is deeply scheming.

Concubine Wan thought.

What a fool.

The Queen Mother thought.

He is somewhat like his father.

Emperor Liang De thought.

But when he thought that Xue Chengdong had raised a son of his, Emperor Liang De's face darkened again.

Xue Qingyin had no idea that the three giants were staring at her and coming to completely different conclusions.

Even the emperor was present at the palace banquet today, so the noble ladies from various families at the banquet were inevitably tied up.

But Xue Qingyin is not the only one who stands out.

The Lu family's daughter and Qiao family's daughter, whom Emperor Liang De was planning to point out to King Xuan earlier, both looked downright generous.

At this time, the sound of silk music sounded in the hall, finally dispelling a bit of depression.

Xue Qingyin sat down next to Xue Qinghe, tilted her head, and asked her in a low voice: "How is it? Have you found out who pushed you?"

Xue Qinghe was there.

Xue Qingyin frowned: "Not found?" No way? She specially brought them here...Does Xue Qinghe have no idea what he is doing standing behind the screen?

Xue Qinghe struggled for a while, finally exhaled and said: "Found it."

Qiu Xin's eyes widened behind her, filled with hatred that iron could not turn into steel.

"Who is it?" Xue Qingyin became more energetic.

"Qiu Xin discovered it."

Xue Qingyin turned back and looked at Qiu Xin.

Qiu Xin's face was stiff. It was no longer realistic to lie anymore at this time. She could only grit her teeth and say, "Yes..." Suddenly her thoughts changed.

Anyway, she was the only one who heard the sound at that time, and the second girl didn't pay attention at all.

So whoever she says is who she is.

If the eldest girl becomes enemies with a noble girl from a higher family background, and the person who originally hated her is still lurking in the secret... then it will be great fun!

Qiu Xin thought of this, shook her head, and said timidly: "No, it's better not to say it, I'm afraid we can't afford to offend you."

Hearing what she said, Xue Qingyin became even more interested.

What noble lady with an extraordinary birth wanted to deal with her, but ended up being stupid enough to think that Xue Qinghe was hers?

Xue Qingyin said: "It doesn't matter, just say it."

"The girl wearing a lilac-purple skirt and a hollow hairpin with silver flowers and branches on her head."

Xue Qingyin took advantage of the situation and looked around.

...I don’t know.

Xue Qingyin couldn't help but ask her maid: "Have I met her? Do I have a grudge against her?"

The maid was also very confused.

Xue Qingyin suddenly looked back at Qiu Xin, smiling and saying, "You're not lying to me, are you?"

Qiu Xin was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat and stammered: "Of course, of course it's not."

The voice of Emperor Liang De rang in the room: "Which one is Qiao Aiqing's daughter?"

The young woman in the lilac and purple dress stood up gracefully, walked to the middle, bowed to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Qiao Xinyu, pays her respects."

Joe…

Which great official is named Qiao?

Xue Qingyin thought carefully.

However, the original body's mind was empty, and he knew nothing except He Songning in his chest.

At this time, Emperor Liang De, who was sitting at the table, could only hear him laughing and saying: "Your father mentioned you in the note he sent to greet you last month. He is far away in Jiannan Road and cannot take care of you and your daughter, which is also a pain for you."

The girl from the Qiao family once again bowed and said, "Father is so valued by Your Majesty. Everyone in the house does not feel bitter, and it is too late to be filled with gratitude."

Emperor Liang De asked her: "How is your mother lately?"

"I dare not worry Your Majesty. It is getting warmer every day, and my mother's body bones are getting stronger."

"You are sixteen now, right?"

"Your Majesty, my daughter is seventeen."

"It's long past time to discuss marriage."

"In the seventh year of Longfu, my grandmother passed away due to illness. Everyone in the family was so sad that they couldn't care about other things."

"He is a good and filial boy."

After asking, Emperor Liang De waved his hand and said: "Come closer." Then he pointed to a white dragon cake in front of him: "Your father always likes to eat this. Just try it for him." Then, he ordered the little eunuch beside him to bring this dish to Qiao Xinyu's table.

If you can get food from the emperor, you will naturally see honor and favor.

Qiao Xinyu quickly bowed and thanked her again, and then returned to her seat in a polite manner.

It attracted the envy of other noble ladies.

They were still afraid when they saw the emperor, but Miss Qiao was already able to answer questions fluently in front of His Majesty. Having a good father and mother makes all the difference!

Xue Qingyin has almost guessed the origin of the Qiao family now.

Far away on Jiannan Road.

It shows that her father is not a Beijing official.

The local official could actually make Qiu Xin say "I can't afford to offend", which means that Qiao Xinyu's father should be the highest official in the local area - the Jiedushi.

Jiedushi can be called a big official in a border area.

Indeed, he is not a petty official who can be offended casually.

But Jiannan Road is not a wealthy place, and Xue Chengdong is not bad in comparison!

Unless this girl Qiao's mother was also well-connected, the emperor would specifically ask about her mother's health.

While Xue Qingyin was thinking, Emperor Liang De named another girl.

It was still a conversation similar to the one before.

And the one who stood in front of the emperor this time was the girl from the Lu family who took the initiative to talk to Xue Qingyin on the day of the lake cruise.

Xue Qingyin understood...

Whenever the emperor named a girl at the palace banquet, and specifically asked about her age, whether she wanted to be married, etc., it was a signal to others, right?

Lu and Qiao were obviously the designated princesses!

But I don’t know which one was destined for King Xuan and which one was destined for King Wei?

Also, King Xuan said that she would be promised to King Wei today. Can the operation in Qingsi Palace really change the emperor’s decision?

Is the emperor’s decision that easy to shake?

Xue Qingyin thought about it and felt that the twists and turns were really complicated. So she lowered her head and drank the wine.

Ah, bah bah.

It’s hard to drink.

At this time, Miss Lu also ended the conversation and sat back.

Xue Qingyin raised her head again and could clearly see the faces of other noble ladies full of hope. They all hoped that they would also be named by the emperor.

Although they only said a few words, the "prominence" at this palace banquet would be enough for them to be proud of for at least three or four years, right?

Xue Qingyin thought to herself, if I can see clearly, how can you not see clearly?

This is not about who can be selected just because they are good-looking.

You have to rely on your parents.

Qiu Xin's nervous sigh suddenly reached Xue Qingyin's ears.

She couldn't help but glance at Qiu Xin and his servant.

Xue Qinghe looked indifferent, but Qiu Xin was disappointed, as if she was still looking forward to being in the limelight at today's palace banquet...

"Your servant Liu Yuerong greets His Majesty."

In a blink of an eye, another noble lady was named.

Xue Qingyin raised her eyes and glanced.

She was sure that she had never seen this Miss Liu, but her figure was vaguely familiar.

This time, Emperor Liang De asked her more questions.

First, he asked what books she liked to read, and then asked about her age and whether she was married.

Then Emperor Liang De smiled and said, "She is a good girl with a beautiful mind."

Liu Yuerong showed a trace of uncontrollable joy on her face, and hurriedly bowed to thank the emperor for his praise.

Emperor Liang De then changed the subject: "Well, I think she is a good match for the King of Wei! What do you think, Concubine?"

Concubine Wan laughed: "Your Majesty is right."

Obviously, this candidate is also very much to her liking.

If it is a girl from the Lu family, it would be the best... but the girl from the Liu family is also very good!

Xue Qingyin paused.

Is it really possible?

It really changed to someone else to point to the King of Wei!

Is this a perfect plan for King Xuan?
