Chapter 187: Recruiting a son-in-law through a martial arts competition

In a short time, it will be the fortieth birthday of the First Emperor.

This age is nothing now, but in the eyes of the ancients, forty years old can indeed be regarded as a long life, and there are even fewer people who live past the age of fifty.

The First Emperor didn't want to make a noise, and he didn't want to hold any banquets, but the marquis from all over the country sent a birthday compendium to celebrate the First Emperor's birthday.

What Wenxin Hou, Changxin Hou, Wu Anjun, Xinling Jun and so on are all coming.

It is getting closer and closer to the birthday, people from all over the world to congratulate the birthday have come one after another, and the whole Xianyang City has become lively, even if the first emperor wants not to set up a banquet, but the marquis is gracious, and in desperation, he has to set up a banquet in the Xianyang Palace.

On the day of the birthday banquet, there was an endless stream of carriages and horses coming and going to the imperial city, although the first emperor was not interested in the gifts they sent, but they had already sent them, but it was not easy to refute the feelings of others.

What pearls and jade, agate jade, rare and rare things in the world, are listed on the list, and their preciousness can be called peerless.

Every gift is priceless, which shows that over the years, they have scavenged from the people for the fat and ointment.

Inside and outside the imperial city, there is a celebration and joy, accompanied by singing and dancing, drums and sheng flutes are played in unison, and the sound of glamour echoes around the beams, so that visitors from afar can enjoy it.

With the arrival of the guests, the banquet has basically begun.

The first emperor set up a banquet in the main hall, the palace is centered on the central axis, the long table is placed on both sides, fruits and vegetables are placed on it, the first emperor is in the first place in the middle, and congratulates the ministers from all directions.

"The banquet is coming, and the ministers are entering the palace!"

The personal eunuch of the First Emperor stood outside the door of the main hall and shouted loudly.

The main hall of Xianyang Palace was slowly opened, and all the ministers stepped up the stone steps and entered the main hall in turn.

Everyone found their place according to the size of the courtier's official position, and sat down.

Meng Yi, as the secretary, is naturally in the front row, and Lu Xian, as the grandson of the Marquis of Wenxin, will inevitably inherit the title of Marquis Wenxin in the future, but he has no official position now, so he is in the back position.

He and Meng Yi were not at odds with each other, but seeing that Meng Yi was in a higher position than himself, he couldn't help but feel jealous.

Meng Yi also saw Lu Xian, and after he glanced at it with contemptuous eyes, although he didn't speak, Lu Xian saw it even more in his heart.

Lu Xian secretly said in his heart: "Meng Yi, you wait, I will make you ugly later." ”

Every year at the banquet, in order to help the fun, the First Emperor will inevitably add some entertainment programs to ease the atmosphere, but more to let them go home happy.

Lu Xian bought off the eunuchs in the palace, saying that this year's banquet, the first emperor joined the debate, not only that, but also martial arts, for these two, Lu Xian was very happy, this is simply tailor-made for himself.

Lu Xian is the grandson of Wen Xinhou, he studied under "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn", and he is even more comfortable with classical literature.

At this time, the first emperor's car drove here, he carried a sword with a high crown, and ascended the throne of the king of God with steady steps, and the first emperor said majestically: "Zhuqing traveled thousands of miles to Xianyang to celebrate my birthday, I am grateful in my heart, and today I will not discuss the government, please come to the ministers from all over the world to share the joy of the empire." ”

Hearing this, the important ministers said in unison: "May Your Majesty live a long and healthy life, and live forever." ”

After everyone saluted, the First Emperor nodded slightly and said, "All of you have a heart, get up." ”

After the ministers got up, they took their seats, and at this time, the first emperor said: "This is the year of my confusion, all of you remember it, I am deeply grateful, today, let me and others drink happily together, not drunk." ”

After saying that, the First Emperor raised the bronze wine glass in his hand, drank it all first, and talked about his heart.

How dare the others slack off, they immediately took up their glasses and drank together.

"At such a moment, drinking and eating is inevitably too cheesy, why not have a song and dance?"

The first emperor's voice fell, and the personal eunuch summoned the singer to sing and dance for the ministers, and at the same time, the drums sounded in unison, and the scene was suddenly happy.

Above the main hall, there was a little less slaughter and a little more relaxation.

At this moment, Meng Yi was bored eating the dishes on the table, and seemed to be not interested in those singers at all, when he picked up the wine glass and took a sip, the corner of his eye glanced inadvertently, and almost didn't squirt out.

But I saw a dancing girl in purple, who came fluttering, wearing a thin veil on the ground, but it was difficult to hide her moving face in the early morning.

"Ying Shiso?!"

Others don't know her, how could Meng Yi not know that it was her, the eldest princess actually did the job of a singer, and she danced for everyone at such a banquet.

Meng Yi suddenly looked at the First Emperor, and the First Emperor noticed Meng Yi's burning gaze, and he made an expression, as if to say, "Isn't it just a dance, and it's nothing?" ”

He thinks it's nothing, Meng Yi doesn't think so, that's my daughter-in-law, what is your intention in letting my daughter-in-law dance in this group of perverts?!

In fact, the reason why the first emperor arranged it this way is also understandable, the eldest princess is the first beauty of Daqin, and her dancing posture is graceful and graceful, so that she can dance to everyone to cheer up, and it can also reflect his attention to the foreign ministers.

It's just that these ministers don't seem to know that the girl is Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.

Ying Shisu danced softly in the center of the singers, her graceful figure, graceful dancing, peerless beauty, as soon as she appeared, she immediately covered up the light of all women.

In the main hall, countless pairs of eyes looked at Ying Shisu dancing in the center, their pupils widened, their mouths opened slightly, and the saliva in their mouths flowed out but they didn't know it.

The hands that picked up the dishes from the table also stayed in the air, forgetting to eat.

"It's so beautiful!"

"How can there be such a beauty in the world!"

……

The dance of this purple-clothed girl has fascinated countless people, this dance should only be in the sky, how many times in the world can there be.

Seeing that his woman was dancing, Meng Yi was jealous, he picked up the wine, drank it all in one gulp, and looked at the old perverts who were hooked by Ying Shiso, and he really hated to gouge out their eyeballs.

After a dance, everyone was still immersed in Ying Shisu's dancing and couldn't come back to their senses, just because Ying Shisu was so beautiful, they couldn't help but want to take a second look, and even blinking their eyelids felt that it was a waste.

At this time, the First Emperor said, "Shisu, take off your veil." ”

Ying Shisu lightly touched the veil and slowly took off the veil.

Wow!

The moment she showed her true face, the audience was boiling, the people present had played with many women in their lives, but they had never seen such a beautiful woman as Ying Shisu.

Seeing that all the ministers were drooling greedily, the First Emperor said proudly: "This is my eldest daughter, Zisu." ”

"It turns out that she is Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and it is rumored that the eldest princess is the first beauty in Daqin. Some people were cautious.

Everyone knows that Ying Shisu is amazing, and her alluring appearance is unparalleled in the world, and she has never really seen her face, but now everyone is fortunate to witness it, and they really understand why she has this title.

After seeing Ying Shisu's appearance, turning around and looking at other women, it really looked too ordinary.

After Lu Xian saw Ying Zisu's appearance, he was shocked by her beauty, but he seemed to think that he had seen it somewhere? Thinking about it carefully, the heart said, "She...... Isn't it Miss Su Zi that night? ”

Su Zi? Perilla?!

Lu Xian suddenly thought of something, no wonder the two were so similar, but Ying Zisu, who had recovered her daughter's body, was even more exciting, and at the same time, a thought appeared in his heart, that is, this woman was going to make up her mind.

……

"Shisu, as the eldest princess, pour wine for your uncles." The First Emperor said.

"The retainers obey!"

So, Ying Shisu poured wine for the uncles present one by one, those old fritters, after seeing Ying Shiso up close, their eyes were straight, and they almost didn't hold it.

After everyone had filled their mouths, the First Emperor beckoned and said, "Zisu, come to my side." ”

Ying Zisu whispered, that is, she came to the side of the first emperor, she stood on one side, and Yanran became the most beautiful and beautiful scenery in the main hall.

At this time, Ying Zisu caught a glimpse of Meng Yi drinking alone, and knew that he must be jealous, so he couldn't help but purse his lips and chuckle, and his every move was moving.

"Today is my birthday, and it is really rare for the ministers of the interior and abroad to gather in the main hall, and I take this opportunity to announce something to the public." The First Emperor said suddenly.

Everyone listened attentively and did not dare to whisper.

The First Emperor glanced at the ministers and continued: "Now, the eldest princess is in her prime and is in the year of jasper, and I want to choose a good son-in-law for her, so as to seek happiness for her in the second half of her life. ”

Kindness?!

Meng Yi's face froze, he suddenly looked at the First Emperor, the plot shouldn't be like this, didn't he promise to marry the eldest princess to himself? Why did you suddenly come up with such a hand?

Even Ying Zisu didn't expect it to be like this, she thought that her father would be above the court and promise herself to Meng Yi, but she didn't expect that her father would choose a good son-in-law for himself?!

"Father, you ......"

Ying Zisu just wanted to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by Ying Zheng, and the First Emperor deliberately glanced at Meng Yi and said, "Of course, it is not easy to be my son-in-law. ”

"My son-in-law must be a man who is both civil and military, and only a person who is both civil and military can be worthy of my princess."

After finishing speaking, a sly and sinister smile appeared on the corner of Ying Zheng's mouth.

This inadvertent move fell in Meng Yi's eyes, he knew that Yingzheng was deliberately making things difficult for himself, knowing that he liked the eldest princess, but he was still like this.

"A warrior can bravely crown the three armies; Writers, can lift the pen to settle the world. Now that the first round of screening is being carried out, martial arts, I don't know which good boy is willing to come forward and give it a try? ”
