Emperor Hui's words are already equivalent to a reprimand.

The seventh princess was immediately blinded, obviously her ninth sister had also despised the people of Linghai before, why didn't her father find fault with the ninth sister?

Not to mention the Seventh Princess, everyone else was also startled, and they were silent one by one, not daring to raise their heads. No one could have imagined that Emperor Hui would reprimand the seventh princess without hesitation when the guests were gathering.

Shen Lanying also jumped, and subconsciously looked at Sikong Yan, but was surprised to find that there was a playful smile on the careerist's face.

Oh, it's terrible, worthy of a careerist.

Only Emperor Hui didn't care about this, and calmly told the prince of Linghai that the seventh princess was unwilling to marry.

The prince of Linghai said in his bird-like Chinese that marriage is the order of the matchmaker's parents, as long as Emperor Hui agrees, and there is no need to ask the seventh princess if she is willing.

Emperor Hui raised his eyebrows noncommittally, and once again clearly told him that the seventh princess would not marry.

Sikong Yan whispered to Shen Lanying to popularize science, Linghai is a completely patriarchal society, and the only meaning of women's existence is to get married and have children, so in the eyes of Linghai people, marrying a princess of the Yong Dynasty is not a big deal.

Prince Linghai was a little confused, but he still stopped dwelling on the seventh princess, and instead mentioned the eighth princess.

Emperor Hui went through the process again and generally asked the wishes of the eighth princess.

In fact, it can be seen that Emperor Hui didn't want to marry his daughter to Linghai at all, and the eighth princess also knew this, so she wanted to refuse decently, but suddenly, a figure broke into her sight.

Before the eighth princess could react, Yu Chigu had already stood up, and the number of rituals used for Khotan saluted Emperor Hui, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, the minister and Princess Qin have known each other for many years, and they have similar interests, and the minister has also vainly admired the princess for many years, so I dare to ask Your Majesty to give the eighth princess to Weichen, and the minister should be the head of the dead and the grass ...... death."

When Wei Chi Gu said this, the king of Khotan felt that something bad was wrong. Now the Yong Dynasty is the number one power, and other small countries have no right to speak, and they all have to marry princesses to please Emperor Hui. The king of Linghai had no brains, and he asked Emperor Hui for a princess, and now Wei Chigu jumped out and said that he wanted to marry a princess, wasn't he asking for trouble?

What everyone didn't expect was that the eighth princess stood up from her seat, and Shi Shiran walked to the middle of the hall, "My father, my son and Wei Chigu have known each other since childhood, and they have never stopped exchanging letters for ten years. ”

This time, not only the king of Khotan was frightened, but Emperor Hui was also frightened, his daughter had a relationship with the bastard boy of Khotan more than ten years ago, and he, the father, actually knew nothing about it.

What a failure......

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were also frightened, and they looked at the two in the middle of the hall one by one.

Emperor Hui sighed helplessly and said, "I'll talk about this later, let Qing Yuan watch it first, and see if the eight characters fit." ”

Emperor Hui's subtext is already very clear, and he uses the reason of checking the eight characters as a reason to postpone the discussion of marriage.

The eighth princess immediately understood, gestured to Wei Chigu, and glared at him by the way.

The relationship between Khotan and the Yong Dynasty has always been kind, and it was not unreasonable to marry a princess in the past, but this kind of talk must be discussed privately, and now that King Qiuci and Mufu Tusi are here, it is not appropriate for them to hear it after all.

Wei Chigu did not go back immediately, but gave a deep salute to Emperor Hui, as if Emperor Hui had agreed to marry Jiang Lingqin to him, with a look of gratitude, and said thank you.

The people who were closer to Emperor Hui saw it very clearly, and when Wei Chigu finished saying this, the corners of Emperor Hui's mouth twitched.

After the two returned, the prince of Linghai was still reluctant to return to the throne, and even began to explain the policy of diplomatic relations and the importance of marriage to the harmonious coexistence of the two countries.

Shen Lanying felt that Emperor Hui was in a tendency to get mad, so she gave Sikong Yan an inquiring look. Sikong Yan couldn't help but chuckle, nodded slightly at her, and agreed to her desire to do something.

So Shen Lanying stood up and walked towards the Prince of Linghai, at this time the Prince of Linghai was still speaking, and suddenly found that the eyes of the audience were focused on him, and he couldn't help but look back strangely.

When he met Shen Lanying's gaze, Prince Linghai was slightly stunned, and the gushing bird words in his mouth came to an abrupt end.

The courtiers finally breathed a sigh of relief, although they didn't know what Princess Zhaoying was doing when she ran out, but they finally made the mentally handicapped prince stop. Shen Lanying walked up to the Prince of Linghai and smiled at him, "Since His Royal Highness wants to marry the princess of Yongguo, have you learned about several princesses of our country before coming to Yongguo?"

Prince Linghai said in broken Chinese, "Naturally, I have understood ......."

Prince Linghai still has a follow-up, but Shen Lanying didn't intend to listen to him, she directly interrupted him, "Then Your Highness should also know that the daughters of our saint are all beautiful and talented, and they are not lost to ordinary men." ”

Prince Linghai nodded, "I naturally know this, otherwise how could I come to Yongguo thousands of miles away, just to get a princess and be my future queen." ”

So the purpose of your coming to the Yong Dynasty is to find a wife? What about peace?

Shen Lanying sneered, and the smile on her face was very gentle, "I heard that in Linghai, only a man with ability is worthy of such a beautiful woman, is that so?"

Prince Linghai nodded, "That's right, that's right. ”

The smile on Shen Lanying's face suddenly became even brighter, "Then does Your Highness think that you are qualified to marry our Holy Lord's daughter?"

All the courtiers and guests in the audience looked at the two with bated breath, and only Sikong Yan looked like he couldn't help laughing.

When Emperor Hui heard this, there was a slight look of surprise on his face, but it did not stop Shen Lanying from provoking the prince of Linghai.

I don't know if it's because the little brother Linghai's Chinese is not very good, he didn't seem to hear Shen Lanying's provocative meaning, and still spoke the Chinese of the ghost animal with a calm face, "I am the future monarch of Linghai, so I naturally have this qualification." ”

"I heard that in Linghai, if there are many men who want to get a woman, regardless of their status, they will have to start a fair duel, right?" Shen Lanying smiled more and more provocatively, "We also have a lot of capable people in Yongguo, and they also admire several princesses. Your Majesty, will you dare to compete with them fairly?"

The Prince of Linghai fell into deep thought, and said for a while, "What are the aspects to be tested? The skills of our Linghai people are different from those of Yongguo. ”

Shen Lanying suddenly felt that the Prince of Linghai in front of her might not be as brainless and mentally retarded as she imagined, or was it a kind of great wisdom and foolishness?

"It doesn't matter, there is always something in common between the cultures of the two countries. After Shen Lanying finished speaking with a smile, she saw that the Prince of Linghai nodded approvingly, and said, "For example, riding, archery, and math......"
