Chapter 14, Xia Guo Qinghuan

The slowly rolling wheels creaked, and the sudden brakes made Wuhua's body sway for a moment. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

How long has it been since it came out? According to her calculations, there should be a few more moments, huh? Could it be that she miscalculated?

Ye Hua, who was sitting next to her, asked. "So soon?"

On this trip, the daughter was divided into a car, and Yehua was naturally in the same car with himself.

Ye Hua stretched out his hand to open the bamboo curtain and looked outside.

Seeing the downtown outside, he leaned out and asked the coachman in confusion. "Why did you stop if you hadn't arrived?"

Wuhua waited quietly for a moment, and found that Ye Hua seemed to be greeting someone, but his body covered the outside, and Wuhua couldn't see the situation outside.

"Wuhua can be inside?" Ye Hua, who stretched out most of his body out of the car, shrank in, and Qin Xiangsheng, who was wearing a brown cotton robe, also came in.

He is already good-looking, but today he seems to have dressed up deliberately, but he looks quite handsome. He was only halfway through his body. "Wuhua, your car is really small and breathable, and it is cool in my heart."

"Who called you in?" Wuhua glanced at him.

"Come on, come on, let's squeeze and it's not cold." Ignoring Wuhua's white eyes, Qin Xiangsheng rubbed his hands and moved closer to Wuhua.

"Hey, Wuhua, you didn't say that."

"What do you say then?" Wuhua teased. "Please Brother Qin teach me."

Qin Xiangsheng sat next to her and bumped her with his elbow.

"Come on, you. Ye Hua is also here, you are not so serious, and you are not afraid of ruining your majestic brother image in Ye Hua's heart. ”

Wuhua sneered, ignoring his teasing.

The carriage is not big, it is quite spacious for two people, and it can barely sit with one more.

But Qin Xiangsheng is so domineering that he wants to squeeze Wuhua into the corner, is he too conscious? This is in her car.

Qin Xiangsheng stretched out his hand to cover the curtain behind the car covering the window a little tighter. "It's much warmer that way. I really don't know how you two managed to sit in this carriage. ”

Wuhua blocked his hand, "You're enough, don't squeeze over again." ”

"If the eldest prince of Qin thinks that my carriage can't accommodate you as a god, then why don't you go back to your own carriage?"

"You must know that your carriage is like this, so I won't let Xiaosi drive my carriage back."

Qin Xiangsheng muttered. "I don't know why you are in such a small carriage, as if you are afraid that people will know that you are in this carriage."

In fact, Qin Xiangsheng said it well, Wuhua deliberately picked this carriage to save trouble. "Smaller naturally has a smaller benefit."

"Yes, yes, the good thing is that it's more ventilated." As he spoke, Qin Xiangsheng looked Wuhua up and down.

"Isn't this outfit what you usually wear?"

Wuhua was confused by him, "Is there anything wrong?" ”

Isn't it just to participate in a palace banquet, and the protagonist is not her, why do you deliberately dress up? "Even if it's a man, why do you have to dress up?"

"Just show it off." Qin Xiangsheng snorted twice, obviously misunderstanding what she meant, "You are handsome and chic, with a refined temperament, and you look just as good if you don't dress up, how can you look like us if you don't take care of it?" ”

As he spoke, Qin Xiangsheng stretched out his long legs, but the carriage was narrow, and his legs could only be half-bent, but this could not extinguish his desire to show off.

He unbuttoned his cloak to reveal his new robes, "Look at my clothes, does it look good?" ”

Wuhua deliberately ignored his first half of his sour words, and looked left and right for a moment, "You look a lot more stable when you wear this color." Not bad! ”

Qin Xiangsheng smiled proudly. "This is specially made for me by my mother."

"What do you want to say?" Wuhua is slightly stunned, slowly replenished. "It's just going to the palace banquet."

"Look, you've been with Zhu Lu for a long time, and you're like him, and you don't hear what's going on outside the window anymore, tsk." Qin Xiangsheng was quite contemptuous.

Fortunately, Qin Xiangsheng just laughed and didn't take it to heart. "Why do you think Your Majesty wants to let all the sons and ladies of all families enter the palace and participate in the palace banquet? Is it just because there are so many people? ”

Qin Xiangsheng put away the folding fan in his hand and pointed at Ye Hua, who was sitting opposite, meaning something. "Do I remember Ye Hua is five years younger than you? You should be eighteen years old after the New Year, right? ”

Seeing Qin Xiangsheng pointing at him, Ye Hua nodded. "Yes."

"Your Majesty has not made it clear, and your colleagues must have known it for a long time."

Qin Xiangsheng slapped his palms with a folding fan, "You can go and take a look later, the ones brought by each family are naturally young ladies of the right age." ”

Qin Xiangsheng smiled, quite gloating. "Wuhua, you are also twenty-three this year, you are a well-known young man and clean and self-conscious, there is no wife and concubine in the family, presumably the young ladies of each family will take this opportunity to come forward to make friends."

"Hmph," I heard Qin Xiangsheng say. The corners of Wuhua's lips curled slightly, and a pair of eyes flowed back and forth on Qin Xiangsheng's body.

waited until Qin Xiangsheng couldn't stand it anymore before he heard what she meant. "Are you sure that when we sit together, someone will come up and talk to me?"

Qin Xiangsheng remembered something at this time, and laughed twice a little embarrassed.

Ye Hua, who was sitting on the side, was full of doubts, not understanding what kind of dumb confusion was being fought between them.

He smiled and asked, "That means that Brother Xiangsheng, you have deliberately dressed up, just want to tie the knot tonight?" ”

"It's small." Qin Xiangsheng patted Ye Hua's head. "I didn't marry a wife, just because I didn't meet the woman I liked, today's banquet, all the ladies will attend, my fair lady and gentleman, I naturally can't miss the slightest opportunity."

"Sister Qiong is about to give birth, if she chooses a concubine for her brother-in-law, she will never be at this juncture." Ye Hua was puzzled.

He stayed at home for a long time these days, stayed at home and had no sources, so he naturally couldn't guess.

"The Five Princes." Wuhua sighed and replied softly.

"The Five Princes?" Ye Hua was stunned. "Is it for the fifth prince who took the initiative to go to the Xia Kingdom to exchange protons?"

At the beginning, the Xia and Qing dynasties married, exchanged protons, and said that they learned from their strengths, but in fact, in layman's terms, I learned from the strengths of your country and showed you the prosperity of our country.

And Xia Guo, who proposed to exchange protons, was sincere and sent the emperor's eldest son Xia Qianxuan to the Qing State in the name of escorting and kissing.

But as soon as a person arrived in the Qing Kingdom, the eldest son of the Emperor of the Xia Kingdom was not accustomed to the soil and water, and the reason why his body was not good since he was a child, he came to the Qing Kingdom for ten years, and he didn't step out of the Proton Mansion very much, and concentrated on being his useless proton.

Since Xia Guo has shown such sincerity, the Qing State's high-level leaders have also begun to make difficulties.

Sending the youngest prince over is insincere, and sending the eldest prince over has a feeling of weakness. Just when His Majesty the Emperor was in trouble, the fifth prince, who was only sixteen years old at the time, took the initiative to ask Ying and went to the Xia Kingdom.

Maybe it's because there has been so little news from the Xia Kingdom in the past ten years, so there's only a brief introduction about this prince.

Ye Hua's lack of clarity is also natural.

or a sense of indebtedness to this son, the Qing Emperor wants to show that he still cares about him very much.

That's why I got such a blind date banquet, I want to bring the prince's heart back, and the province will be given a thin name?

The lights in the hall were brilliant, and as soon as the people who came were introduced by the palace maid, they began to look for acquaintances to talk, and she and Qin Xiangsheng's official positions were similar and they came in together, so they were arranged together.

The palace maid who guided them was waiting behind them, adding wine to Qin Xiangsheng from time to time.

As soon as Qin Xiangsheng entered the hall, he talked to Ziqing on the other side of him, and directly left her aside.

"Why hasn't Zhu Yu come yet? Brother Ziqing, aren't you going to pass by the General's Mansion? Qin Xiangsheng looked at the vacant position on Wuhua's side, and said to Zi Qingdao, who was sitting beside him.

"I'm going down a different path today." Ziqing smiled and shook his head.

"He should be on the way, such a banquet, General Zhu is afraid that he will be forced to come with a knife."

"Haha....isn't that sleeping god asleep again?" Qin Xiangsheng guessed.

The position next to Wuhua was vacant, Zhu Yu had not yet come, she was also happy and leisurely, sitting quietly with a glass of wine, and she was particularly conspicuous in this noisy hall.

Not long after the eunuch stepped forward to put down the pale red veil in front of the banquet, the empty banquet opposite finally sat down one after another.

Wuhua rubbed his wine glass, and sure enough, as Qin Xiangsheng said, today's banquet is a little special.

Although the customs in the Qing Dynasty were not strict, it was rare to bring an unmarried woman to attend, let alone such a large banquet.

Let all the ladies attend today, and the palace will naturally make all preparations. Through the pink veil, the ladies don't have to be so restrained.

I don't know who came up with this method of covering the face with tulle and seeing flowers in the fog.

Wuhua listened to the discussions of the people around him, and most of them were comments on those official ladies.

"Although the second miss of the Xu family is a concubine, I heard that she is a beauty who sinks into the fish and geese."

"The second miss of the Xu family is beautiful, but can her status be compared with the crown princess, Qu Qionghua, the first beauty of the Qing Dynasty? Besides, if you see too many beauties, you will get tired of it, but my son is very interested in Princess Qinghuan. ”

"Are you actually interested in that legendary princess who is resolute and shocking, and can scare a child to cry? Brother Cheng, your taste is getting more and more peculiar. The man was amazed.

Princess Qinghuan. Wuhua raised her eyebrows, this little princess who was extremely favored in Xia has been in the limelight in recent years.

At a young age, her decisiveness in killing made the world's proud men ashamed. When the world mentions Princess Qinghuan, they will always think of Princess Huasang, who was born in Tianfeng's domestic elegance and outstanding talents, and can compete with a hero like Emperor Hongwen.

Tianfeng Kingdom was once very prosperous, and it was the only ancient country in this world where women's rights were supreme.

Especially the princess Huasang at that time, her record is still daunting.

When the Tianfeng Kingdom was attacked by the enemy, she relied on her own strength to survive alone for a year, and finally the battle situation improved, if she was not betrayed by the people she trusted, how could she fall into such a field.

The country was ruined, and the family was ruined, and he jumped off the top of the Lishui cliff in bloody clothes alone.

A hundred years ago, Xia and Cen were close neighbors of the Tianfeng Kingdom, and under the exchange, they were also influenced by the Tianfeng Women's Kingdom.

Although it is not as female as the Tianfeng Kingdom, the status of women is much higher than that of other countries.

And Princess Qinghuan, because she is the old woman of Emperor Xia, is already very favored by Emperor Xia.

In addition, Princess Qinghuan showed her military talent when she was a teenager, although she did not hold military power, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is calling for wind and rain in Xia.
