Chapter Seventy-Six: It's Worth Fighting
"Pull and pull, this king is tired of seeing it. ”
"Ahh Xuanyuan Yan pushed, and Princess Ripple was directly pushed down and hit Xuanyuan An, the king of Liang next to him.
"Princess, be careful. ”
The nephrite jade was warm and fragrant, and Xuanyuan An enjoyed it very much, looking at the expression of the beauty in his arms, he was quite charming.
At this time, the music stopped suddenly, and Ripples quickly got up from King Liang and came to Xuanyuan Yan, looking at his expression with shame and anger.
"His Royal Highness King Qi, as a member of the Southern Desert royal family, how can you treat this princess like this?"
After speaking, he looked at the emperor sitting on the throne, and knelt down with an aggrieved face: "Your Majesty, I, Har, sincerely participated in the hunting in the Southern Desert, and even danced in person to entertain the guests, but I was treated so rudely by the prince of your country, and I asked the emperor to be the master of this princess." ”
Ripples knelt in front of the emperor with a pitiful and aggrieved look, making the people of Harchi straighten their backs, their eyes were full of essence, and some generals also pressed their hands on the matching knives, as if there was a tendency for the emperor not to give an explanation.
Prince Munda also frowned, and put down his wine glass: "Your Majesty, does His Royal Highness King Qi hate Prince Ben's unintentional mistake this afternoon and take revenge on my royal sister? ”
Xuanyuan lazily raised his demonic peach blossom eyes, and the corners of his mouth were still arbitrary and frivolous: "In the afternoon, the king didn't pay attention to it, this ripple princess danced and danced, and the huge central square didn't jump, what did she do when she jumped to the king's side? He also took a red curtain and gestured on this king, and this king couldn't push her away if he was uncomfortable? This king is also the prince of the Southern Desert, can he let a woman touch this king." ”
King Qi's words made a small snickering sound from the scene.
"It's King Qi's loneliness, this dance is originally danced like this!" One of the envoys of Harchi shouted.
At this time, Chu Jiang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, sneered: "Before His Royal Highness King Qi pushed Princess Ripple away, the old man wanted to stop it loudly! Dare to ask Prince Munda, if His Royal Highness King Qi does not push Princess Ripple away and let Princess Ripple's red curtain tie a concentric knot around His Royal Highness's neck, will he force His Royal Highness King Qi to marry Princess Ripple?"
As soon as Chu Jiang finished speaking, Xuanyuan Yan immediately felt a cold breath lingering all over his body, and his cold eyes saw the ripples shrink for a while, and he trembled.
The people at the meeting were surprised when they heard Chu Jiang's words, could it be that Princess Ripples dancing this dance was a trap? The purpose is to get King Qi to marry her?
used the customs of his own nation to design people and forced King Qi to marry her, which made all the Nanmo people on the scene dissatisfied, especially Qiao Ruolan.
His Royal Highness King Qi is the "heavenly vegetable" of these families, how can he be deceived so casually?
Princess Ripple's face changed slightly, she lowered her head and pursed her lips without speaking.
The emperor and the concubines were also deeply surprised, and Concubine Yang Defei even showed a look of anger.
The emperor asked in a deep voice, "Lord Chu, what does this mean?"
Chu Jiang got up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, Princess Ripple danced Harchi's "courtship dance". According to the custom of Harchi, if Princess Ripple is asked to tie the red curtain on the neck of His Royal Highness King Qi with a concentric knot, His Royal Highness King Qi must marry Princess Lianyi as his wife. ”
Many people at the scene gasped, and they were glad that His Royal Highness King Qi had just made a "divine move".
Although Princess Ripple was born beautiful, the dignified Seven Princes of the Southern Desert, the jade-faced god of war, King Qi, was "designed" to marry a wife, which was ultimately unpleasant.
The emperor's face turned dark, and he looked at Prince Munda with a voice that was not angry: "Prince Munda, is that so?"
Meng Da's face was also very ugly, his face was red and white for a while, and at first he didn't know that Ripple was going to dance the courtship dance, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Ripple is the pearl of my father's palm, she is happy with His Royal Highness King Qi, and it is her will to dance the "courtship dance" for him, if Her Royal Highness King Qi is unwilling to marry her after dancing, will I Harchi still force marriage?"
"Just pushed her away and asked her father to be the master so aggrieved, if she was allowed to finish the dance but didn't marry her, I don't know how to make a fuss?" The eldest princess Xuanyuan Hua looked at the ripple princess in the field with a cold face.
"What's the matter? Munda's voice hardened, and he looked at Xuanyuan with a fierce and oppressive gaze.
Xuanyuan Yan sneered: "If you are worthy of this king, you have to pick it up and go home?" He shook his head: "This king is not happy. ”
Princess Ripple looked incredulous, she got up and looked at Xuanyuan Yan, annoyed and angry: "His Royal Highness King Qi, what's wrong with Ripples?
He said coldly: "Where are you good, worthy of being liked by this king?"
"You-"
His attitude towards the glamorous Princess Ripples made Qiao Ruolan, who had only eaten closed in the afternoon, feel a little better, because Xuanyuan was not only like this to her, even if it was the princess of Harchi, he was also unapologetic.
But Qiao Ruolan quietly drifted her gaze to Yu Qinli, only to see Yu Qinli holding her eyebrows, her face calm, as if this ridiculous thing in the hall had nothing to do with her, so she was so angry that her chest tightened.
"No one can compare to her. "This is what Xuanyuan said in the afternoon.
In King Qi's heart, only Yuqin pear is gold and jade, and the other women are dross.
Is that why she is so fearless?
Qiao Ruolan's hands wrenched the handkerchief tightly.
On the side, Xuanyuan Jing looked at the concubine Yue Niang behind her, Yue Niang sighed a little in her heart, although her plan was good, she had no choice but to Princess Lian Yi's clumsy means and bad luck, once she was recognized, let alone Xuanyuan would not give in, let alone get the support of Emperor Nanmo.
Xuanyuan Qi was also watching the play on the side, although Xuanyuan Yanruo married Princess Ripples, and Yu Qinli's chances of belonging to him increased greatly, but he was not happy that he would get Ripples.
Because this means that Xuanyuan has more advantages in fighting for the prince, he will have the support of the Harchi tribe, and the power of Nanmu to consolidate Tanglin and Xirong will be in his hands...
Xuanyuan Qi's eyes were slightly enriched, and he covered his sight with drinking, as long as he got Yuqin Li's person, even if Xuanyuan didn't marry Ripple, it would be impossible for him to be with her.
He listened carefully to the verbal battle between Harchi and Nan Mo, and planned to see his father's attitude first, and then think about what to do.
Xuanyuan Jing and Xuanyuan An also thought so at the same time, so the three of them did not speak, concentrating on the development of things.
An envoy from Harchi stood up and said: "I, the Khan of Harchi, let Prince Mengda bring Princess Ripple to pay tribute, I already have the intention of making peace with Nanmo, does His Royal Highness King Qi want to destroy the friendship between the two countries?"
Before Xuanyuan Yan could speak, the sixth princess Xuanyuan Yan first had an opinion: "This envoy, you are joking! I have many sons and daughters in Nanmo, not to mention that there are five excellent princes, and there are no less than hundreds of royal relatives, is it possible that if the seventh brother of this princess does not marry, I Nanmo will want to destroy the friendship between the two countries?"
"Since ancient times, the marriage of the royal family has not been able to fully take into account their own wishes, in order to make friends between the two countries, it is even more common for each other to marry Qin and Jin, and my Harchi grassland has long been a barrier between the southern desert and Dongling, and has contributed a lot to the peace of the eastern part of the southern desert; Princess Ripple is the favorite daughter of Que Le Khan, since she is going to marry away from home, can't she choose a prince she likes?"
Yu Qinli sipped wine during the banquet, listening to the attack and defense of both sides.
Although she was calm on the surface, her thoughts had actually dried up a hundred times.
She also considered whether Ripple marrying Xuanyuan could help him win the heir faster, and finally she vetoed this idea, although Harchi is based on the eastern barrier of the Southern Desert, but it is a group of rabble who only know how to plunder, empty force, but lack benevolence and less righteousness, and will not always be loyal to the Southern Desert, not only is it unprofitable, but in the end it is a burden.
The eighth prince, Xuanyuan Xuan, shook his folding fan: "Your princess Ripple is the princess beloved by Que Le Khan, isn't my seventh brother the emperor's favorite prince?
"Are you going to don't want my Harchi's help in the future?"
The eldest princess said coldly at this time: "Don't say that it seems that my Southern Desert has to rely on you Harchi, the two countries have signed a reciprocal treaty, you are responsible for defense due to the geographical advantage, and the Southern Desert provides the materials and weapons that the Harchi grassland lacks, if you feel that the content of the contract is not good, the two countries can stop cooperating." ”
Xuanyuan Yan spoke: "Although there is no assistance from Harchi, Nanmo is a little troublesome, but it is not necessary to have Harchi. "
His peach blossom eyes are cynical and mischievous: "The country of my southern desert is not to the point where I have to sacrifice the marriage of this king to maintain"
Princess Ripple's apricot eyes widened, and she staggered back two steps, her face flushed with anger.
Yu Qinli smiled, that's right, Xuanyuan Yan didn't have Harchi's assistance, but in the future, there would be her Yun family army, as long as she trained well enough, it would definitely be more helpful than the Harchi clan to Xuanyuan and more long-term benefits to Nanmo.
Munda slapped the table and looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, you just watched your children bully me, the Harchi people, who are lonely?"
The emperor glanced at Xuanyuan, and although his words were rude, they kept the dominance of the Southern Desert.
He said lightly: "Yan'er, you have said it!"
Xuanyuan Yan knew that his father had no intention of blaming, so he smiled and arched his hand: "Father, the son is guilty." ”
Both Xuanyuan Qi and Xuanyuan Jing had already understood the emperor's attitude at this time, and they would not let Har Chiyu take what he wanted.
Xuanyuan Qiqian said gently: "Prince Munda doesn't need to be angry, it takes time for the two countries to negotiate, it's a good thing to be friendly, don't rush for a while." ”
Xuanyuan Jing also said: "Princess Ripple is beautiful, there must be a lot of people I want to marry in Nanmo, Princess Ripple can be picked slowly and carefully, not necessarily the seventh brother." ”
The emperor nodded, and the words of the two could be regarded as a good step for Harchi, and Munda sat down, but Princess Ripple did not relent.
Her pride and dignity cannot be trampled on by others, not even Xuanyuan!
Princess Ripple glanced at him, walked directly in front of the emperor, and knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty, Ripple is good, but King Qi didn't see it, Ripple didn't believe that she would lose to any woman in the Southern Desert! Princess Ben is willing to give a woman who wants to marry His Royal Highness King Qi a chance to challenge; Whoever wins this princess, this princess will no longer pester His Royal Highness King Qi. But if no one dares to challenge Ripples, then Princess Ben will marry His Royal Highness King Qi, will there be no objection?"
Yu Qinli was stunned and sighed, it seems that she will fight again tonight!
It doesn't matter, that person, it's worth fighting for.
