Chapter 175: I Want Her

Duanyue could hear the sound of the carriage sitting in the room, and she felt a little apprehensive in her heart. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoToday is the day of the Uighur envoys' arrival in Beijing, and the emperor will not care about the grief of the defeat and will hold a feast for the pleasure of these Uighurs. Not only that, but it is simply humiliating to offer a woman who is close to her.

Lu Qingyi took Rong'er to sit in Duanyue's room, frowning at Duanyue's dress, and couldn't help but shake his head. "Don't wear this dress, change to a plain one with less embroidery. It's best not to wear lipstick. ”

Duanyue couldn't help laughing when she heard it. "In the past, when I went out, you made me look bright, and I wanted to put all the flowers on my head, but I didn't expect that there would be such a day when you would make me look ugly. It's so rare. ”

"There's no way I can't help it. If you are chosen by the Uighurs, see how you cry! Lu Qingyi stared at Duanyue with an unhappy face.

After a moment of silence, Lu Qingyi sighed briefly, she stroked her forehead in annoyance, only feeling full of irritability. "Hurry up and put on your makeup, don't make the Empress Dowager unhappy. She doesn't like being late. ”

"I see, it's always good to wear this one now!" Duanyue walked up to Lu Qingyi and turned around lightly. She was wearing a narrow blue skirt and a beige shawl, and the whole person looked plain, but unexpectedly her eyes were extraordinarily shining, as if the stars in the sky were in her eyes.

"Let's go like this, Master Hou is already sitting in the carriage at the door, don't let him wait for a long time." Lu Qingyi got up suddenly, and Duanyue followed her with small steps.

I can't remember how many times I entered the palace, but Duanyue has long been familiar with which door to open which way. When the three of them walked into the main hall Zhihong, Duanyue unexpectedly found that every woman who had not left the pavilion was dressed in plain and elegant clothes, and rarely showed a happy expression on her face, everyone was silent with their heads down, and at first glance they thought that this was not a banquet but a mourning hall.

Thinking of this in her heart, Duanyue covered her mouth and laughed quietly. Lu Qingyi stopped her with her eyes, and Duanyue immediately restrained her bright smile and obediently sat down in her seat.

She looked up at the upper seat, and there were three chairs upright, presumably the emperor, the queen and the queen mother. Sure enough, when everyone was almost seated, the emperor and the queen helped the Queen Mother to come out, and everyone got up and saluted.

Duanyue raised her head and looked at Meng Tao carefully, she hadn't seen that the beard on his chin had grown for many days, and he looked a lot more mature. A golden dragon robe looks really eye-catching, and no matter how you look at it, you don't think it's appropriate.

"Uighur messengers have arrived!" With a wave of the dust in his hand, Mr. Gao swaggered into three men in cross-dressing from outside the hall. They came with a victor's smile on their faces and strode unceremoniously. At the front was a young man, his eyes glowing a pale blue, which was amazing.

"The envoys of the three Uighur princes specially led their subordinates to the Great Liang Emperor to seek peace and friendship." With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said in a small voice, and looked around at the people around him. "This is the first time the envoy has come to Daliang, I didn't expect the women of Liang to be so simple and thrifty."

There is something in his words, pointing directly to the fact that the women are dressed elegantly and do not want to kiss. Hearing him say this, Meng Tao looked a little embarrassed, he coughed dryly, and forced himself to laugh at the corners of his mouth. "The most natural beauty is not to apply powder, the envoy may wish to sit down first and taste the delicacies of Liang Kingdom."

After that, someone from the palace stepped forward and guided the three princes to sit down. He looked at the dishes on the wine table in front of him, obviously not very satisfied. frowned, and didn't pick up the chopsticks. But fortunately, he was not a provocative person, and he did not open his mouth to provoke.

Meng Tao clapped her hands, and the dancer walked in like a butterfly, and the melodious singing and music sounded together. But even such singing and dancing could not dispel the gloomy atmosphere in the hall.

"Your Majesty, the purpose of the envoy's visit this time should be very clear, so it's better not to beat around the bush." The three princes interrupted the song and dance with a serious expression, and everyone was shocked to sigh that this stranger really didn't know how to be polite.

It was Wei Que who spoke first, her red lips slightly upturned. "The three princes are not in a hurry, we Central Plains people have a saying that 'it is very pleasant to have friends from afar', of course, we must entertain all the envoys well, so as to show the hospitable demeanor of my Liang country."

"Thank you for your hospitality, but you don't have to." The third prince stood up straight from his seat and bowed to Meng Tao. "My Uighurs have been at war with the Liang for many years, and now my generation is tired of war and wants to live in peace, so our emperor has sent me to seek a good marriage with the Liang."

He didn't blush when he said these high-sounding words. How could a victorious person suddenly appear and say that he wanted to stop there, Duanyue felt that this time the Hugurs must have their own little abacus, not to mention that the Heavenly Khan was not a person who liked peace, and his ambitions were obvious.

The Empress Dowager glanced at the many women present lightly, and said to the third prince lightly. "Since it is the third prince who chooses his wife, then the mourning family is not specified, it is better for the third prince to choose which girl he likes."

The third prince's face was stunned, he didn't expect that this big beam would be so light and so simple that he didn't know how to choose.

"The girls here are all the daughters of the ministers of the court and the central government, and the ones sitting here are the daughters of the royal family, and they are left to the three princes to choose." Soota smiled lightly behind her. These women are irrelevant to her, even the daughters of the royal family are pawns that can be used and discarded to her, and the only thing she cares about in her heart is her own son.

After hearing this, the third prince stood and looked around. Every woman in his sight lowered their heads one after another, and their feelings of reluctance were written on their faces.

Duanyue's hand was grabbed by Lu Qingyi, and as soon as she turned her head to look, she saw Lu Qingyi frowning at her and bowing her head again and again, asking her to lower her head quickly, so as not to be favored by the third prince. But Duanyue suddenly became resolute, she withdrew her hand disappreciably, and looked the third prince up and down with a pair of smart eyes.

Feeling this gaze, the third prince also turned his head and looked at Duanyue quietly. He saw a trace of Haoran from this petite woman who did not belong to the woman of Liang Kingdom, and dared to look at him so directly, and he was slightly provocative.

As soon as the corners of his lips raised, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Duanyue, and said loudly to Meng Tao. "I want her!"
