Li Chengcheng was depressed and lying on the bed, but he couldn't sleep at this time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Besides, Ye Wuwu and other palace maids finally remembered them after being detained for many days, and someone came on this day, and it was an older palace maid who came with a few guards to pick them up.
Ye Wuwu thought that the palace of this foreign race was still quite humane, and there were no ladylike eunuchs, except for the palace maids, who were guards. She couldn't tell from the faces of the guards whether they were eunuchs or not, and it seemed that the people of this clan were quite confident in themselves.
The old maid took them to bathe and change their clothes, and put on new clothes, which were their clothes. Wearing the clothes of the Fan people, the girls are a little uncomfortable, because they feel very strange because they are not used to it.
"In fact, their clothes are much more practical than ours, although they are not too beautiful, but it would be good to have clothes to wear, sisters, don't be picky, I don't know how people send us?" Ye Wuwu advised everyone to stop talking.
"The king's feast will begin in a moment, and I will take you there." The old palace maid said.
"Let me put on a show? But we won't do anything. A palace maid asked uneasily.
"No, just walk around."
When Ye Wuwu heard this, he thought to himself, it must be the king who let them be placed there like commodities, and his courtiers picked them away like commodities. ”
When the old palace maid asked everyone to clean up the pretty, Ye Wuwu kept a heart, and when she was not paying attention, her fingers rubbed on the ground, and she wanted to apply it to her face for a while.
But wouldn't it be a good ending if you picked it up, and wouldn't it be a good ending if you weren't chosen to be a slave? She was a little hesitant, but if she wanted to die, she had to be a chaste martyr! Being a slave may be hard work, and she is not afraid, so she took the opportunity to grind her fingers on the ground a few times.
This day is the time for the king to feast on the heroes, one is to celebrate the prince's wedding, in exchange for the peace of the two countries, and the other is also the time to reward the heroes.
The climax of the banquet was to reward the palace maid brought by the princess's marriage to the heroes, which was the most desired by the heroes, because they thought it was an honor, and the women of the Southern Liang Kingdom were more beautiful and gentle than the women of Xiliang.
The king sat in the center of the hall, and his two sons sat at the heads of the two sides. The crown prince and the second prince were directly opposite, and the second prince took the opportunity to ridicule the prince that he was newly married, and he should not rob women with them.
The other ministers all laughed and laughed, and the hall was particularly lively. At this time, Ye Wuwu and the others walked in and stood in three rows, Ye Wuwu was glad that she stood at the end of the last row, and the people in front couldn't see her.
The ministers stared at the young girl, their eyes were round, and they wanted to swallow it in one gulp, and some people even ignored Sven and wanted to step forward to take a closer look, but it was the king who coughed a few times before he retreated in embarrassment.
"There are a total of 28 palace maids who will marry this time, please take a look at the king." The palace maid who led Ye Wuwu in counted the number of people and retreated.
Ye Wuwu looked at the fat-headed and big-eared men sitting in the hall from the side, and felt very disgusted. At this time, she took the opportunity to brush her hair and quickly wiped the ash on her face.
The second prince proposed a more fun method, which was to let the palace maid stand in a circle, and then stand inside to choose which might be more exciting, and he couldn't help but laugh after speaking.
Ye Wuwu wanted to look dignified, it turned out that he was also a beast, and people who looked at him should be uneducated, and her eyes fell on the prince again, thinking that the prince looked more pleasing to the eye.
The king agreed, he wanted to be the first to try, he said that he would pick one, feel the fun, everyone laughed, and some people were worried that the most beautiful ones were picked away, and their merits were not high, so they could only pick what others didn't want.
Although the king said that, after really standing in the circle, he felt that these girls were all equally beautiful, and he was a little dazzled, and suddenly his gaze fell on Ye Wuwu's face.
"What's the matter with your face? I didn't wash it! The king let Ye Wuwu stand outside the circle.
Ye Wuwu walked out with his head down, everyone's eyes fell on Ye Wuwu's body, and saw that her face was gray and white, and it was deliberate at first glance.
"Looks like she doesn't want to be chosen? Then let her go to the slaves and reward the soldiers! Someone laughed and made his own suggestion.
Ye Wuwu only understood the meaning of slavery at this time, it seemed that she really understood wrongly, she was really worried that the king would speak, so she quickly wiped the dust off her face with her hand.
"Report to the king, there is a custom in our hometown that when we meet the most honored guests, we should put oil paint on our faces, and in order to show my respect for the king, I will borrow the soil of your country, hoping that the king can understand the little woman's mind." Ye Wuwu pretended to be scared, and his voice trembled.
The prince didn't care about today's selection of women, but now when he heard her say this, he felt that the voice was very familiar, he couldn't help but stare at it, and after seeing Ye Wuwu who wiped the dust off his face, he was happy, only this girl could do it, but why did she come here? He didn't understand.
He is now worried that his father must not choose her, otherwise he will not be able to protect her. He suppressed his excitement and felt a joy flowing from his heart.
The second prince stared at the elder brother opposite, he had been silent just now, and the expression on his face was very serious, but now his eyes were staring at the palace maid in front of him, and there was a smile on his face, and the smile was very warm, like looking at a girl in love.
"Father, do you want to choose her?" The second prince stood up and asked.
When the king heard this, he laughed and said, "I just feel it, I said that these girls belong to the heroes." ”
The king's words made Ye Wuwu and the crown prince breathe a sigh of relief, but the second prince immediately asked his father if he could give this girl to himself?
"Your brother hasn't chosen yet? He realized the marriage between the two countries, in exchange for peace, he is the greatest hero, he should choose first. "The king is not partial at all, he is very fair to evaluate.
The second prince was not convinced, he said: "Father, the son wants this girl, the eldest brother has just gotten married, and now the newlywed Yan'er should not rob me of this average-looking girl." ”
The second prince looked at the prince proudly, and he saw that the smile on the prince's face became majestic again, but he was not afraid, because what he said was right.
Ye Wuwu is really angry, you chose me because I look general, what kind of eyes are you, you are really angry with me. Ye Wuwu didn't like others to comment on her appearance the most, she looked at the second prince resentfully, but she didn't dare to be too direct.
It seems that the king has a point in hearing the second prince say this, for the sake of a woman, there is no need for the brother to hurt the harmony, he turned his face to look at the eldest son.
Ye Wuwu's eyes also turned to the prince, she hoped that the prince could look at herself, she couldn't wait to say choose me, choose me, but unfortunately the prince didn't look at herself.
She was really worried that the crown prince would give up herself to the second prince, but she didn't expect that she really heard the words she didn't want to hear.
"If the second brother likes it, take it with you! Isn't it just a woman? Is it necessary to fight around? It's not like fighting for toys when you were a child, I won't let you cry and cry your nose, throw the rules aside, and let the ministers think of our brothers? ”
As soon as the prince said this, the second prince didn't dare to ask Ye Wuwu, because the crown prince has the greatest credit, and now it is unreasonable for him to cross the rules, so if he loses the rules for a woman, what will his father think of him, what will the minister think of him, so where will he put his face?
