My brother is so good, these women don't even want to marry? Although Yereyi was angry, he was not yet carried away by the anger. Xiang Qiang's statement that it is barren and remote is an impression that has been ingrained in the hearts of the Central Plains people for many years, and how can it be changed for a while. She understood that the little emperor and Mrs. Xu had thought about making amends, otherwise there would be no other eight women. If Nan Chu is really snubbing Xiang Qiang, just find a palace maid and impersonate her.

However, Ye Leyi didn't say that it was easy to provoke, how could he swallow this breath easily. Her heart was like lightning, and she suddenly thought of a good way to return the favor.

A woman who does not hurt the face of Nan Chu and Xiang Qiang, but can also severely punish those women who cheat by stuffing money into the painter, Ye Leyi smiled contemptuously, and the show is about to begin.

After Ye Leyi returned to the palace, he didn't immediately tell his younger brother that he had been deceived, but just looked at these "beautiful pictures" and proposed: "What's the use of just looking at the portraits, why don't you let the little emperor of Nanchu arrange a beauty to meet you?" ”

"Forget it." Yelekon looked worried, "One by one they look like this, so I don't want to see them." ”

"The Central Plains has a saying that is to marry a wife and marry a virtuous person, do you understand, don't just look at their appearance, it's best to talk to them face to face to see what talent they have and what their temperament is."

"So troublesome?" Yelekon was already tired of facing the ugly women in the portrait, "Sister, why don't you help me choose?" ”

"Will you marry or will I take a wife?" Ye Leyi waved his hand domineeringly, "That's it, I'll talk to Mrs. Xu about the rest." ”

When Ye Leyi went to meet the emperor, Xu Taifu and Lu Ziyu were also in the palace. When he heard Ye Leyi's request to meet the ten women in person, Mrs. Xu knew that Xiang Qiang was already suspicious.

"This ......" The little emperor looked at Taifu, and then at the aggressive Ye Leyi, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Major General, have you heard any gossip?" Mrs. Xu asked.

Ye Leyi smiled lightly, "If the Ming people don't say dark words, then I will say it bluntly." I heard that some county lords didn't want to marry Xiang Qiang, so they deliberately pretended to be sick; In addition, the woman who has been elected actually asked the painter to paint herself ugly? ”

Da Chu cheated and was pointed out by Ye Leyi at once, Mrs. Xu felt a little embarrassed and touched her beard, "It is also possible that the painter made a mistake and ruined the woman's appearance." Besides, ten women, didn't the prince have a crush on one person? ”

"It's only one person, and it's pretty dignified." Ye Leyi smiled, "Why did Taifu cover up for those people, whether it was a painter's mistake or a deliberate ugliness, you and I know it." ”

Old Lady Xu and Lu Ziyu glanced at each other, Lu Ziyu knew that the young general was not a foolish person, and shook his head slightly.

So, Mrs. Xu had no choice but to say truthfully: "The young general is angry, we didn't deliberately deceive, but if the woman is unwilling to kiss, even if she is tied up, what's the point?" ”

"Then Mrs. Xu's granddaughter, is she willing to kiss?" Yeleyi asked rhetorically.

"She ......" Mrs. Xu thought of her little granddaughter, pressed the unbearability in her heart, and said ruthlessly, "My granddaughter, she has a gentle temperament, understands righteousness, and is willing to kiss." I also ask the major general to focus on the overall situation, and it is better to have more than one thing. ”

Ye Leyi said: "I know the sincerity of Old Lady Xu, and I would rather wronged myself than offend our Xiang Qiang." However, we must not be deceived by those shameless people. Mrs. Xu, rest assured, I will not destroy the marriage between our two countries. But those women who think they are wise, let me see them. ”

Even if the women were reluctant, they would not dare to disobey the emperor's holy decree. Early in the morning, they gathered in Zhai Fang's hall and waited for Xiang Qiang's son.

"Why didn't my sister grind the thrush today, is it because I hope the prince won't pick it?" A woman stabbed.

"I just didn't sleep well yesterday and I don't look good." The woman wittily retorted, "I see that my sister is too plain in dress, why didn't she wear that red dress?" ”

"I ...... I accidentally got dirty with that dress. The defiant woman touched her nose and stopped talking.

"How can men and women meet before they get married." A woman cried and said, "Xiang Qiang people really don't know how to count etiquette. ”

"Be quiet." The other women whispered that they had heard that the Xiang Qiang people were very cruel, and they didn't want to offend.

While everyone was chattering, Xu Yuan was the only one who waited silently, ignoring others.

The ten women didn't have to wait long before Yereyi came in with Yelekon.

The girls hurriedly saluted, but secretly looked up to see what the legendary prince of Yele looked like. found that he was not vulgar and rude as they imagined, and his appearance was ugly, but he was bookish and polite.

As he passed by the women, Yelekon also took a secret look and found that they were not as ugly as the portrait appeared. Yelekon was simple-minded, and thought that the painting skills of the Central Plains painters were too poor, so he did not paint the beauty of these women.

"I don't know, the county lord of Anhe and the county lord of Pingkang, but have you arrived?" After Yereyi sat down on the main seat, he began to settle the accounts one by one.

The two of them were pointed to the county lord's expression, and they took a step forward with anxiety, "An He, Ping Kang, I have seen the prince and the young general." ”

"What kind of talent do you have?" Yereyi asked.

If you want to talk about talent, they are proficient in all kinds of golden branches and jade leaves, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but now the situation is ...... The two county lords glanced at each other, shook their heads together, and said, "I am a shallow learner, and there is nothing I can do with it." ”

Ye Leyi had already guessed that this was the answer, and she deliberately sneered, "It's still the royal family and nobles, it's so unbearable." Well, these two people are not worthy to marry our son. ”

"We are the county lord, you ......" The county lord of Anhe was so angry that he wanted to curse, but was stopped by the county lord of Pingkang.

"Major General Atonement." The county lord of Pingkang hurriedly pleaded guilty, and then pulled the county lord of Anhe and hurriedly retreated.

Ye Leyi looked at them proudly but didn't dare to scold, yes, she just let the Chu people know that it was not Yele Kanger who was deceived by them, but that they looked down on the county lord of Southern Chu.

Seeing that the county lord was all scared back, the rest of the women were too frightened to speak. Ye Leyi looked at them, and then asked, "Who is Xu Yuan?" ”

"The courtier, Xu Yuan, has seen the prince and the young general." Xu Yuan walked out generously, she didn't do anything wrong, naturally she was neither humble nor arrogant, not arrogant or impatient.

Yelekon's eyes lit up, this woman was the only one who was beautiful in the portrait, and when she saw the real person today, she was really beautiful and moving.

Ye Leyi asked, "Miss Xu, what books have you read?" ”

"I followed my grandfather and read the Four Books and the Five Classics."

Ye Leyi followed Qin Luo and had a long understanding of the Central Plains culture, knowing that the Four Books and Five Classics were Confucian classics. Back then, Qin Luo took the Tanhua exam, which was to test these four books and five classics.

"I didn't expect you, a woman, to read these books."

Xu Yuan glanced at Ye Leyi in surprise, "Grandfather said that although you are a woman, you should also understand the way of Confucius and Mencius." ”

is worthy of being the granddaughter of Mrs. Xu, Ye Leyi praised: "Not bad, very good." ”

But Ye Leyi just praised and did not immediately choose Xu Yuan and his relatives, and the hearts of other women were still in their throats and could not be put down.

Ye Leyi asked the other women casually, and there was no trouble for those who answered honestly. And for those who have something to hide, they will be sneering and sarcastic, so that they dare not speak.
